[Q] Custom Roms effect on Whatsapp

Dear Guys,
I met a problem with whats app recently, although I am using the latest version.
When my mobile goes to standby mode, whats app doesn't deliver any message unless I power the phone and start surfing or doing any stuff.
I have met this problem with several custom ROM. taking into consideration that when I set the email to push, it works good but whats app is still delays the messages till I wake up the phone and start surfing or browsing.
does custom kernels did something to that for the sake of battery saving??
Can Any one help?? or have an idea about it that??

i am having this problem too.
Although i am not using i9000(I am using LG optimus black), I can't receive whatsapp in the stand by mode.
Only if i turn on the screen, the notification box will jump out.
I didn't meet this problem while using the shock firmware.
Hope can have a solution.

change wifi policy to not sleep and see if it relates

if you are connected through :
1) Wifi: go to wireless settings, press menu, change the "Wifi policy" to "never"
2) Mobile internet: cant help you, you should ask your provider if they have problems with C2DM push notifications.
For me I resolved the issue by using another Provider company that supports C2DM. And changed the settings of the wifi policy.
*C2DM :cloud to device messaging.

But today the messages didn't get delivered, i got the red clock :/ that really sux and dunno why. I reinstall it and worked for a few minutes and now it's impossible to send any message :/
I'm actually on darky room 10.1

I was about to tell you, may be there is issues pertaining to your network , but after you mentioned darky rom, I changed my mind, one of my friends is experiencing this problem and he is on darky rom 9.2 EE, you can refer this issue to darky, maybe he can help you through.

Model: GT-I9100G
build: Gingerbread.jplc1
Android v: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
please help me guys.

Hello, I had a similar issue, judging by the date of your post yours is probably resolved, but here is what I did.
While whatsapp was at the initialising screen that says waiting I went to settings > apps > whatsapp and saw that if I look at the size of data it increased if I went back to apps and then come back in.
I assume that it was just downloading something and after I let it do its thing and download it worked.
If your data isn't increasing during this it is possible that either your connection to the Internet was broken or that transmission from whatsapp was blocked in which case I would advise wifi just to get it to initialise.
This might be completely wrong as I was restoring a message backup and it might have been making links to the pictures in the whatsapp folder and restoring the backup during this time, which would explain the increase in the size of app data.
Sorry for my babble, hope it helps somebody.

Hey there excuse me but, may i ask how long it took for you to finish that "Initializing process"? Because i'm having that problem right now. Seems like ages to wait till it goes through the process. Please reply as soon as possible.

This happens sometimes randomly in different parts of the world...yesterday I changed my ROM and was stuck at initialization as well...had to use TB to restore data and then it worked fine...try again later and it may work
Anyway u might want to try in Q&A section as that seems the appropriate section for questions

Eh excuse me but um what does TB stand for? I'm currently using I9300 Samsung galaxy s3. I've reinstalled whatsapp for many times but this is the first time that this has happened to me.
Update: my whatsapp is working fine now. couldn't pass the initializing process because whatsapp server was down.

Whatsapp messages delayed

Hi everybody. Hope someone can help me out here. I have a note 2 LTE and my whatsapp messages are taking quite awhile to reach me and this only happens if I leave the phone in standby for about 15mins without doing anything. After that, it can take up to 30mins before the whatsapp notification alert goes off. But if I manually open whatsapp, the whole load of messages will be received all at once. Network signal and data are strong and I am not moving. So I suspect it has something to do with the phone data settings because my HTC one x do not have this problem at all. Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance!

Are you running any sort of battery saver?

have gotten the same problem before.
maybe you are using some apps like task killer ?

Hi. Thanks for all the replies. Nope, I am not running any task killer or battery saver. How did you guys resolve this?

Some kind of firewall or data management issue. Classic answer but i think it will solve your problem: just factory reset..

Thanks for the reply. Oh my. Any other way to solve this? My note 2 is rooted so I have access to system files.

Does this happen with any other application such as email, Skype, chat on? If it's only related to whatsapp then just try to clear it's data, uninstall and download it again.

I have the same issue. But only while on 3G. When on WiFi, messages are near instant. Still no solutions :crying:

Im having this issue too with my two days old Nexus 4 and had it with my Galaxy S. Maybe its whatsapp server's fault.

I think in my case it has something to do with the network. I've tried on a different network and its fine. Time to change network I guess guess

Receiving and sending duplicate text messages.

Hi everyone!
I'm using an Xperia Pro (with Fido) running FXP CM10. I've had this issue since forever and it really bothers me right now..... I keep receiving
duplicate text messages and I even send duplicated messages (without me noticing. It shows that I sent only one message). The weird thing is that
it seems to be happening to only one person (the person I text the most). Switching roms did not help me at all as I tried this like 3 or 4 times.
Some people told me to switch back to the original kernel for whatever rom I'm using but I've had this issue even on default kernels. No I am not
using a third party messaging app before you ask me that. Is there any specific options I need to configure in settings that could help me? Or is
there any options that I need to configure that could potentially make it worst? Sorry If I confused you or anything I'm just really desperate about
this problem. My friend is with Virgin Mobile if that could mean anything. So do you guys have any idea what the problem is or know how to fix
this issue? Maybe I dropped my phone too much (several times and once I dropped it from 2 meters high).
Thanks in advance!!

I've had the same problem before. Try this app

Fair enaugh but I want something thats fixes both Maybe I should just tell him to download that too but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to share

Maybe you can reflash the ROM and try using a different kernel?

Maybe its something like the Problem in this thread

I wasnt expecting to see this!
Been at my mates house tonight and he has the exact same problem, but has an xperia play.

I'm not sure why but it suddenly stopped! At least for now. I noticed it stopped since I changed my plan (was paying 25$ a month and now there is
a discount that reduces it to 12.50$ a month.) Also, I'm using the Rom ViperXperia with Ultima ICS kernel because both has some network side
tweaks. I'm gonna try another kernel now and see if the problems comes back.

no solution to this?
Ive had this problem on my xperia play running xperia nxt lite using doomlord kernel. Its really frustrating cause it sends me so many messages and then I recieve a different message and it continous doing that. Please help

Start with the basics - Reinstall stock firmware.

This issue is most likely to be caused by being in a place with poor coverage or your phone fails to receive the network response that the text message was sent. Having both tweaks may be causing instability to how your phone handles the reception (increases the radio signal during weak network coverage or decreases the network signal during strong coverage.)
Try using a different kernel with Viper or try a different ROM with Ultima ICS... if the problem persists, try another ROM and kernel.
