Push Notification question?

Once you re-connect to a cellular signal or Wi-Fi network, you'll receive the push notifications you missed.

 

I'm having the same problem. If I receive any push notifications while I have no internet access they never arrive even when I get back internet. I'm pretty sure this isn't what it was like on 3.1.3. I'm running 4.0.1 iPhone 4

 

I'm jailbroken, no unlock, normal activation. This is really bugging me so I'm going to restore my phone to stock and see what the problem is. I'll report back

 

I can confirm this is the same behaviour on stock 4.0.1. Which is frustrating because I'm 99% sure this isn't how it was on 3.x.

 

Well I've just checked on my 3.1.3 3G and the notifications DO come in after regaining signal/switching notifications back on. So it looks likely that it's a bug with 4.x. Gonna fire off an email to Apple and ask

 

Push notifications are showing up for me after re-connection on 4.01 iPhone 4g, so it's not universal.

 

That's odd because I've gone back to stock 4.0.1 and the problem still persists. I can't see it being a hardware problem so what's going on....

 

I've got a few. I've tested with Beejive, Facebook and pushme.to by sending myself messages. Any that I send while I have no reception/notifications are off I never receive. I've tried literally everything, messing around with all the setting s to pinpoint the problem, even going back to stock and setting the phone up as new but the problem continues.

 

Stock, AT&T, presently roaming internationally, so mostly using wifi. Push apps include Beejive and Skype.

 

omg how do you get your push to work on tmobile?!?!?

 

I think the key is the "att sim activated" portion you quoted. From what I read hactivation has problems.

 

Or if you want an Apple product to work like it's supposed to, don't jailbreak it and use it the way it is intended to be used.

 

Thats the important part above^
And sometimes push notifications are not always dependable and they dont always go thru even with valid AT&T sims.

 

yea. I pay $75/month with 2gb data and 1500 messaging.

Plus my point is, if you use a company's product in a way they don't intend, then it may not work correctly and you should not be surprised or upset over it.

 

My push doesnt always come through (using wifi.) Sometimes I just happen to go into the app, and boom, theres a new message. I get no notification, no "bloop bloop" sound.. What can I do? TX!!!

 

Overall, push notifications are unreliable. Perhaps Apple will make it better with iOS 5 somehow?

 

does anyone know if push notification still uses up battery if there is no internet connection available either through wifi or 3g. Also I sometimes turn notifications off and then when I turn it back on say in the morning I get push notifications does that mean push is still running on the server side even when I have it set to off on my iphone which means I will get all the notifications I missed after i turn back my push back on?

 

push notifications aren't reliable at all. I'm currently at my parents house, where they get signal via a 3G microcell because they live way out in the country and can't get a good signal without one. Anyway, push notifications don't seem to work worth a damn when I'm on the 3G microcell, even with wifi on. And they only partially work when I'm at my own home with perfect 3G reception and wifi on.

This experience is both jailbroken and nonjailbroken, both on valid AT&T accounts.
