IPhone :: Faulty Push Notifications For Emergency Weather Apps?
Mar 23, 2012
There are several weather related 3rd party apps being sold in the Apple App Store that offer to provide push notifications in the event of severe weather at the iPhone users location. However,I believe these apps are NOT pushing the warning out to users immediately when the National Weather Service issues the warning.I suspect it is due to how the app developers are handling (and footing the cost) of pushing the data. Many times the warning notification comes AFTER a storm has passed.This is extremely dangerous and it would be appreciated if Apple could investigate this problem, which could serve to help public safety.
I am trying to change my notification sounds for Etsy, Paypal, etc. so that I know when I have made a sale vs. gotten a text. Very few App developers create customized sounds for the apps.
I like that my apps currently get updated automatically, but I don't really want to see it. If I turn off all alerts/notifications for it, in Settings > Notification Center, will the automatic updates still happen?
i have a nokia 5130-c2 xm for about a year and a half but i only used it for about 11 months but the other months it went for repairs 3 times. 1st time it displayed a massage "contact service"(needed a firmware upgrade from version 6.6). 2nd & 3rd time it never wanted to boot like when windows on your pc never loaded. Now the 4th time is near, not even a month has passed since i went to collect my repaired phone. Would you say the device its self is faulty or just the firmware. I never went to sites that could send me viruses or use any other themes(custom) just wanna know if i should request a new phone since i still have 6 months of warranty left.
So ever since I got my i4 my push notifications do not come in on WWF at all. Before when I updated to iOS4 on my 3G I would get them all the time. But on my i4, I do not. Is anyone else having the same problems?
I'm using the free app and never had this problem til I used this game on my i4.
I noticed that the push notifications weren't working after I downloaded the app 'Draw Something'. Not blaming the app at all, btw. My wife gets notified when it's her turn and I don't. My wife also has a 4S and we have notifications set the same. So I upgraded to 5.1 last night and still no push notifications. I set espn and tvguide to give me a lot of notifications and have not got anything. I downloaded ipusher app and it's not working either. I'll assume the app is working and my phone isn't.
I have question about emergency notifications. An Amber Alert went out today and my entire office got it but me. I saw that the settings for emergency notifications are in the Samsung messaging app. I don't use the messaging app I use Textra would that cause me to not get Amber Alerts
I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 for a few weeks now. When I set up the phone I set the notification for the Emergency Alert System to notify me for all but Amber alerts. Thought it was a great feature since I'm not home alot and always have my phone with me.
Since doing so there have been several National Weather Service extreme and severe weather alerts in my area which were broadcast on both TV and radio however I never reveived any alerts via my phone. I contacted Verizon who were basicly useless with giving me an explanation or solution, I spoke to three people and I got three different answers. One rep I spoke to said that it depends on what angency is sending out the alert and that verizon may not have been notified of any local alerts. So at this point I am a bit confused as to how the system is suppose to work? If both radio and TV media are sending out the alerts why am I not getting any via my phone? Isn't the point of this feature to get alerts through your phone should you not have access to a radio or TV?
Anyone having trouble with Push notifications on the iPhone4?I've not been getting push's for Words With Friends and Facebook. Don't have any other push apps installed (besides Apple Store app - not sure what would be pushed for that tho).Yes my Notifications is set to ON. I called AT&T today and he reset something (which also cleared my voicemail settings - which I had to setup again).I also restored my phone. No pushes still.
I've got MLB At Bat installed on my iPhone 4, and have yet to receive any push notifications for when my selected favorite team start and finish their games (Marlins, if you must know!)
I've reselected the teams in the MLB app, but I've gotta wait until 7 tonight to see if it did the trick.
Also, I'm not even getting push notifications for Facebook or MSNBC anymore either.
I was wondering how could I get push notifications to work again on my iPhone 3gs that has a 3.1.3 firmware.I tried installing Push Doctor (http://cmdshft.ipwn.me/apt/), but it always gets stuck in "Downloading Packages" and just stays there.Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I remember a couple of months ago when fb push notifications went live on the facebook app...only to be plagued with extreme unreliabilty with no sound or vibrate...an ailment that still exists within the app today. i recently installed boxcar because of the great things and reliabilty i have heard it has...only to be disappointed again. and when i say disappointed, i mean the product didnt work AT ALL. i mean not one single push notification from facebook has been received. seriously...whats the deal...is it that hard to support push notifications for facebook?
I don't know why, but since yesterday morning I'm not getting notifications from apps installed on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.Messages, iMessages, mails, calendar alerts, etc., works fine, but the rest of apps shows a message telling me that I must connect to iTunes to activate notifications.I'm connected to iTunes but I don't know what else must do.All notifications are activated. It's been working since before yesterday without problem. And I've never used any jailbreak software.
I'm gonna try to be clear with my problem. I have a Gmail Account working on Microsoft Exchange, for IM messaging I'm using Beejive IM with Push and I'm also using Whatsapp. Before Updating it to iOS 5.1.1 all Push notifications were working flawless,however, after I upgraded it to 5.1.1, I began having troubles. After 1 minute of having the Iphone locked,I don't get any push notification nor on the email, nor on the Whatsapp, neither on the Beejive. If I unlock it and I re-open one of them, for ex, I go to check my contact list on Beejive, I get all the mails, and all the instant msgs that people had sent to me after I locked my iPhone; it's like, my iPhone was locked for 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes people sent me 4 msgs on whatsapp, 4 msgs on beejive and 4 mails. Once I unlock my iPhone and I go to one of the 3 apps (mail, whatsapp or beejive), I get the 12 items (4 msg from whatsapp, 4 msgs from beejive and 4 mails) at that exactly time. It's crazy, it's like, with this new update push notifications got disabled for every app or what happened to my iPhone on this upgrade? I really need help. WIthout Push, none of them apps works cool for me. I'm using Iphone 4 on a 3G network.
Ps: I tried restoring it x3, I unistalled the apps, mail, etc and nothing worked.PS2: If someone is using whatsapp or beejive im with push on the new iOS 5.1.1 and push notifications are working good for them,it so I will know it's my iPhone hardware problem to bring it to technical
I had a locked AT&T iphone which I recently unlocked paying for it through Negri Electronics. I see that my notifications are enabled but they are not working at all. For example my Whatsapp is not receiving any messages unless I open it up.
FYI. My iPhone 4 is not jailbroken and has the latest update.
I had a locked AT&T iphone which I recently unlocked paying for it through Negri Electronics (Apple approved), this means that I can update my iphone through iTunes without any problems, which I did and now I'm using another carrier chip. I see that my notifications are enabled but they are not working at all. For example my Whatsapp is not receiving any messages unless I open it up. This happens with alot of other apps that use notifications. FYI. My iPhone 4 is not jailbroken and has the latest update.
My iphone 4s, v. 7.1.1, no longer has the push notifications' option in "settings." At the same time the push options disappeared, there is no way to refresh my gmail inbox.Â
I want to have Notifications on in order to use Find My iPhone using MobileMe. Does anyone know if having Notifications on while having Push off for every App and email account affects battery life? I know that using Push drains the battery but don't know how having Push on but not using it affects the battery.
I recently installed lockinfo and have not been receiving push notifications sense. I removed it and rebooted...still my beejive and facebook tell me "connect to itunes to use push notifications"
Are there any other know causes for push to get jacked up? I don't have autosilent installed (read that may cause problems)
anyone else having problems with the gmail push notifications right now on their iphones? i stopped receiving push notifications for 2 days ago. I still receive push messages from gmail from time to time, but thats like 40 min after i receive the email in the inbox.
I have got a 3GS, 3.1.2 (blackrain JB), 05.11.07, unlocked but on official carrier (O2 in the UK).but, my push notifications aren't working (push email is working, just not push notifications, facebook, ebay etc)what options do I have to try to get these working again? full restore from back up? (settings - Reset, then restore from back up)upgrade to 3.1.3 then use spirit JB?
ive just jailbroke my iphone 3gs on ios4 using the snowbreeze 1.6 all is good only my push notifications have stopped working on whatsapp and ping2 ive done the push fix through cydia which fixed my you tube not working and ive followed other guides to try and fix but no joy as of yet anyone else have a fix or idea how to fix.
Since I got my iPhone 4, my push notifications haven't been working even though I have them turned on. Sometimes I'll get alerts but when I have alerts turned off and just badges and sounds, I get neither.
