Push Notifications under iOS4

Push Notifications do not function under v4 or 4.0.1. They work fine under 3.1.3.
I have tried restoring as a new phone several times to no avail. I went to see a "genius" who offered no theories as to why the notifications were failing.
I'm stuck at 3.1.3 for the foreseeable future, which means several of my apps won't run as I am unable to roll them back via the app store.
Any theories as to why my push notifications don't work? Push email/contacts/calendars are working via gmail's exchange servers, but applications notifications do not function.

It seems to be multitasking. Although a great feature, somehow I have noticed that when you have Mail running in your multitasking bar or whatever it is called (double-click home button), you don't get push notifications. When I shut down Mail fully (hold finger over mail icon till it wiggles, then touch the red minus icon) then go back to the home screen, suddenly I get push notifications. Obviously a problem with multitasking. (does Apple read this?)

CNN push notifications for iOS4

anyone else having issues with CNN push notifications on iOS4/iPhone 4? I haven't received one since i upgraded in the first week of release. I do get push notifications from other apps, facebook and my im program primiary, but occasionally from MSNBC. Did some googling saw that its at least somewhat common, curious if anyone found a solution. I've tried deleting and reinstalling.

I'm having the problem too. The CNN badge is supposed to come up with no sound, but I haven't been getting it since I restored my backup on my new phone. It seems the only way is to restore and set up as a new phone...

Push notifications in iOS4

Some of the apps I have are not working correctly in the iOS4 world -- one is I've lost the push notifications for facebook and gmail, even though in settings they are turned on and the sync functions for NYTimes is not working either. Anyone else have this issue? Apple given any fixes? I can't seem to find any fixes at this moment ... thanks

Same here!
The strange thing is that my girlfriend's iPhone (3GS and 4.0.1. like mine) notifications work fine with the same app (Le Monde, like NYTimes)! I've tried to restore my phone, but I'm not sure it will work.

Push notification under proxy Internet

My iOS 6 push notification is not working under proxy running Internet service to make it run what I have to do

I'm having iCal push issues as well. The push option is available and selected on client machines iCal app. The iCal server and push notifications servers are running as well. I have a test iCal account that is set up on my server's iCal app. It receives push notifications, but not 10.6 remote client machines. Any ideas??
Thanks

What are Push Notifications under System Services?

I have been having major battery drain issues under iOS8 (currently 8.1.3). I have been trying to figure out the culprit but so far no luck. In reviewing the Settings menus, I notice under Cellular -> System Services that Push Notifications total 13MB. I have most all of the Push Notifications turned off. The only ones that are on are for the Phone, Messages and Calendar (I am not sure what turning those off will do regarding incoming calls and messages so I left them on).
but I am on WiFi 90% of my day and so I am wondering what these Push Notifications are under the System Services settings of the Cellular menu? Anyone have any idea? I am wondering if this could be something that is causing the battery to be constantly eaten. 13MB is a lot of data for notifications, it seems.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Lawrence, thanks. You dropped in the other thread called iOS 8.1.3 - Battery Draining Very Quickly. I don't really think it's anything you listed. I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone on Saturday. the 13MB of Push Notification data is just from late Saturday afternoon when the set up finally finished. So for Push Notifications for phone, messaging and calender to rack up that kind of data is not right.
Actually, that probably is right. If you set it up as new it had to sync your entire calendar history to the phone. I don't know how large your calendar history is, but mine is every event for the past 15 years. If you reset it now and it still accumulates data quickly then there might be a problem. But when you set up as new everything must resync.
There is something going on under the hood of 8.1.3. The Push Notification numbers are listed in the cellular section of system services. Since Saturday, i have been on WiFi 90% of the time, either at home or at work. Why would there be cellular data used for Push Notifications when I'm on WiFi?
Possibly because you are not on WiFi when the phone goes to sleep, unless it is connected to power. iOS turns WiFi off when the phone goes to sleep to preserve battery life. WiFi (as required by the standard) uses power continuously when connected, whether you are transferring data or not. Also, Notifications do not go over WiFi; they go over the cellular channel, because that's the only way an external trigger can wake the phone. Once an app has received a notification if it needs to do a data transfer it can use WiFi (if it is on), but the notification itself is always over the cellular channel.

Ugliest bug: under some conditions app crashes when activated from push notification. Any workaround?

Hi,
I encountered the following serious bug.
Steps to reproduce:
- start the app which uses "Fast App Resume" mode
- block the phone.
- ensure the app is tombstoned. This can be done by using "Tombstone upon deactivation" VS option.
- send the toast notification to the app.
- Open the app from toast. >>>> the app either CRASHES or stays on the same page, without proper navigation. Both outcomes are unacceptable.
I created a test solution, which demonstrates this bug: https://db.tt/LyarfmDK
It contains two projects, both are nothing more than msdn samples with smallest modifications:
- fast app resume sample
- push notifications sample.
To reproduce:
- start fast app resume project under debug with "tombstone" option
- copy the push uri
- start the "send push" sample. Paste PUSH uri and send the push notification.
- tap on the notification ==>> either crash or no navigation.
Well, I believe this is a very serious issue and must be fixed ASAP.
Any workaround for now?

I downloaded your zip file and there are projects all over the place. If you want us to look into this, please label projects nicely, place them where I can figure out which one goes where, and then give me easy to follow instructions to reproduce
the problem.

How can I update a push notification that's not on my settings under notifications?

I am trying to turn on notifications in the Starbucks app, so in the app I go to settings then when I select Starbucks Notifications it gives an error message that reads..."You currently have Push Notifications turned off. Please update your device Settings." but when I go into into my phone Settings no where is the Starbucks app listed anywhere. Not in "In Notification Center" or "Not In Notification Center". How am I supposed to update the device settings if I don't see it anywhere??? Thanks.
Tommy V.

I know push can be set as follows. I think this will help your issue even though it may sound like it doesn't directly apply.
Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Fetch New Data. Turn on "Push".

Push Notification still broken under 10.6.1

iCal push notification simply does not work yet.
If you set your iCals to refresh to 1 minute instead of Push, it's about the fastest thing to push you're going to get for now until Apple addresses this.
This is on a clean install of SL Server and client 10.6.1.
Unless Im missing something, the above is confirmed.

I'm having iCal push issues as well. The push option is available and selected on client machines iCal app. The iCal server and push notifications servers are running as well. I have a test iCal account that is set up on my server's iCal app. It receives push notifications, but not 10.6 remote client machines. Any ideas??

Email push notification not working

I have z-push working as an activesync tool for Zarafa (ZCP) in my LAN. The account is set to an "Exchange Account", with push notification working for email. The Zarafa-server has local IP-Adress (like 192.168.0.x). Email push notification from z-push using WIFI is not working while "Mobile Data over GSM" is activated on my Iphone 4. (with IOS 5.1.1 running).The only way to get email is to open the mail client software.
Any ideas why i have to switch off data over GSM/3G to be able to get push notifiactions ?
Thx for your help !
Michael

Yahoo email "push" stopped working for me on my iPad (3.2) and, later, on my iPhone 3G (ios4). The fixes turned out to be different on both, but both are now working...
On my iPad, I needed to Reset Network Settings (under General, Reset). It did it's thing, rebooted, and I needed to re-enter the password for my home network. Poof... Push notices came in.
On my iPhone 3G, I deleted my yahoo account and re-entered it. Push started working right away.
Hope one of these is helpful for you.

Push Notifications to APNS Fail 50% of the Time

Sending a notification to an iOS device fails half the time with this error:
The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error
Here is my setup:
Free Trial version of Azure
Sandbox certificates uploaded to a Mobile Service/Notification Hub
App developed with PhoneGap and built using Adobe's PhoneGap Build service
Using the com.microsoft.azure-mobile-services Cordova plugin
I am able to use either the DEBUG page on the Azure site, Visual Studio 2013 (Server Explorer -> Azure), or the ServiceBusExplorer open source program to send test JSON messages to Apple. It works, half the time, and the other half of the time I
receive the error above.
Steps to reproduce:
Open Visual Studio --> Server Explorer --> Azure. It points to my trial account.
Context-click on my Notification Hub a pick "Diagnose"
Under Device Registrations, I delete any registrations I've previously accumulated. There are now no device registrations.
Delete and re-install the test app on the iPhone (iOS 8)
Launch the test app. A new registration appears in the notification hub. The type is "Native." (I've also had problems with "Template.")
Go to the Test Send tab; Recipient: Broadcast; Message Type: Apple (Default)
I am using the default, sample notification (but I get similar outcomes with other JSON messages):
{"aps":{"alert":"Notification Hub test notification"}}
Hit "Send"; It fails. Under "Message Result:," for my single registration I have this error message: "The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error"
Wait 90 seconds, hit Send again. The notification works, it appears on the phone, the message result is "The Notification was successfully sent to the Push Notification System"
Wait another 90 seconds, hit Send again. The notification fails
with the same Internal Server Error that it did the first time.
Wait another 90 seconds, hit Send again. It works perfectly just like it did on the second attempt.
Overall it is working about half the time. In the example above, it worked every-other time, but this is not always the case--it can succeed multiple times in a row or fail multiple times in a row. I'm not changing the JSON at all between
the above test messages. Even if I vary the JSON, I get the same outcome. I get similar outcomes regardless of whether I do the testing through Visual Studio (above), the Azure portal (the DEBUG tab), or through the ServiceBusExplorer program.
What is causing this? How do I troubleshoot this?

Hi David,
I don't have an answer for you, but I wanted to chime in because I am having problems as well. I get the same "The Push Notification System returned an Internal Server Error" message trying to send a test push via either the Debug tab in the manage.windowsazure.com
console or in Visual Studio.
I have been focused on troubleshooting this problem since yesterday (Saturday February 21) but I believe it has been happening quite a bit longer.
At one point I was able to get some notifications through after clearing all the registrations, but now it is failing again. I have had the same certificate since last April (2014) and it has worked fine, so I know the certificate setup is good.
More data points:
using the SimplePush PHP script from
raywenderlich.com with the same certificate, the notifications go through immediately.
Normally we send notifications from our Mobile Service using the Javascript backend, and it gets a "success" response from the Notification Hub even when it fails, e.g.
{"isSuccessful":true,"statusCode":201,"body":"","headers":{"transfer-encoding":"chunked","content-type":"application/xml; charset=utf-8","server":"Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0","date":"Sun,
22 Feb 2015 05:05:20 GMT"}}
We have another notification hub with our production certificate, and it seems to be working better.

Iphone 4 push notifications not working for any app

hi, Actually I own an iPhone 4 os 4.2.1(8c148). The thing is that push notification for all the apps that support this feature is not working, I've been an iphone user for long time now, so I konw all the stuff about turning on the push notifications etc. the problem is that my phone give me the pushes like 1 hr or 2 late, or some times never , i just have to open the apps to see my new messages and stuff. Since i live in colombia I have brought the iphone to the store and they take it for like a week and then they give me the phone back saying that is ok , but it isn't. I' have reinstalled the software, I've done anything you can think of, like turning on an of push notification, put it in plane mode, restore as new, backups, and I don't know what else to do, and the thing is that in colombia they don't exchange your phone that easy as it is in the US. So please any advise? ANd I'm sorry about my English. Thank you!

Unfortunately you have already done everything we can possibly instruct you to do.. at this point the only option is getting them to exchange it its under warranty its not working you have to get a exchange

I have just installed snow leopard and reset my admin name and password.
Likely because both occurred at the same time and/or you created another Admin user/ didn't allow the new Admin to admin the machine?
Hold c and boot off your Snow Leopard install disk and second screen in under the Utilities menu is Reset Password.
There is also a Single User mode (caution root user!) way to reset passwords on each account.

Before you do that, make sure at any opportunity to backup your files manually to a external drive and disconnect.

Problems with iPod Touch- YouTube and Push Notifications

After installing iOS4 on my 64gb iPod Touch I've noticed I cannot view YouTube videos and push notifications do not work.
The YouTube app launches, however if I try to search or play a video a pop up will read "Cannot connect to YouTube". If I go to YouTube's newly redesigned mobile site they work fine.
Although all my settings are the same as they have ever been, push notifications do not work. When launching any app with push notification support it always states "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications". I've done this, but nothing works.
For the record, I've never jailbroken or in any other way altered my device. I've tried performing a hard reset with no success, as well as letting the battery drain completely and shutting off before recharging.
Thanks for any help.

Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Push Notifications Are Not Working

I'm currently using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3) and push notifications have stopped working. The only app that seems to still be pushing is TextPlus. In my case Facebook, Scrabble, Gowalla and Twitter have all stopped working.
Here is what I have already tried:
Restored my iPhone
General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings
None of these things worked. Are there any suggestions that will definitively help fix this issue? I'm at a loss.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem you have? I can occasionally getpushnotification, but only once a day fore facebook. For twitter, I get nothing and newer got. Other programs never got any notification att all.Push notification is on both under notification center and therespective programs.I have iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S.

Lack of Push Notifications since OTA

Ever since I took the OTA Firmware update last week, I have had issues with a lack of push notifications on my Incredible 2. Gmail, work email, Facebook, InstaGram, Twitter and more all require a manual "refresh" for me to get my emails and more.
I also have this battery charging issue that appears to be widespread on the boards here, but that is another matter.
Anyone else experiencing this push notification issue since the OTA?

FWIW - The Background Data option under "Accounts & Sync" in Settings was disabled by the OTA. Not only was my Exchange disabled, but I had to re-enter my Gmail address. Once enabled and re-entered, I seem to have re-enabled my push notifications.
Now about this battery charging issue....
