WhatsApp Delayed Messages until App is Opened & NO notification

[Kooosh]

You know how you sometimes receive a message only a certain time period later? No, this isn't about that..

Recently I've been getting delayed messages with the correct timestamp, and no notification at all UNTIL I OPEN THE APP.

Lets say for example someone texts me at 7PM. I open it at 8PM.

1. If the delay is due to network issue, it will display the message with the timestamp 8PM.

2. My issue is that the display of the message is stamped with the time 7PM.

But there was no notification at all!

Anyone getting this issue? I emailed WhatsApp yesterday, no response as of now. Only a possible auto-generated response telling me to download from their website and install..

This is particular to only 1 of my contact that I text frequently.

Any ideas or anyone experiencing the same problem?

yeah i've been having the issue for past 2-3 days since the last update as well. doesnt matter which contact

Did you do anything prior to this issue e.g. software updates etc?

Dunno where to complain?? Clear app's cache and see if that helps. Check if your sync setting is correct.

Do you have greenify installed? If you do, be sure to disable whatsapp from being hibernated.

If not, you can try opening whatsapp and press the home button before you lock your phone. This will ensure that the app doesn't get killed. This used to be a problem for me sometimes, because when whatsapp gets killed, i won't receive the messages until i open it again.

If none of that works for you, maybe you can do a backup of your messages and reinstall the app. Whatsapp is working fine for me on my galaxy S4 though.

No I do not have greenify install!

There was once initially when setting up this new Note 3, I had a notification saying I should remove an application because of compatibility issues.

I forgotten which app is it but IIRC it's either AVG or Battery Doctor.

I also frequently use the Battery Doctor widget to kill tasks using the "Task Killer" .

Could that be the cause?

Might be your task killer. Since it work somehow like Greenify.

Get done away with task killers. Use greenify instead and you won't have problems.

Your Battery Doctor is likely killing the Whatapp service, I'm usually very against using apps that kills of task for the sake of battery. You are better of using the System's task Manager as it knows whatapp to keep in active rather then a 1 button kill all.
