WhatsApp doesnt play notification sounds - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
For some reason a friend of mines WhatsApp doesn't make a notificatin sound when a meesage incomes. The options are selected and when selecting a tone and previewing it, it sounds.
What could be wrong?
Thanks

Why don't you contact the developers of the app instead of asking here? What would anyone here know about Whatsapp?

which light?

Whatsapp has it's quirks in all platforms. Try to uninstall the app, clear your caches and delete off the Whatsapp folder in your SDcard , some buggy settings might be left behind so best to clean everything up. Reinstall and see if it works.

Just happend to me. Does clearing the whatsapp folder solve it?

same issue happened with me

[Q] Facebook notifications not working?!

So I've had this problem for a very long while, in that I get absolutely no Facebook notifications! Well, save for some random notifications for messages, and often times I don't really have any new messages, or the app isn't able to fetch them from the server. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling the app, clearing its data... this was on Froyo. Installed Gingerbread, installed the Facebook app from the Market, and still no notifications!
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
The app sucks its not the phone

Well I guess it's not the phone but when I first got it, notifications came without any issues. And suddenly they stopped. :/

That's a bug in Facebook apps, sometimes you receive notification and sometimes you don't. Try other Facebook apps like friend-caster- they have an option to post notification to gmail.

Well I don't use my Gmail address anyway. And yes, I was considering FriendCaster, but it seems they haven't included Chat yet.

Try adding another topup, and use facebook chat apps/gosms facebook chat instead.

Same problem
I had the same problem a while back, after much installing and uninstalling and double checking the notifications from my laptop and phone, I concluded that the problem was really the app, shows how buggy apps can be. I've been getting message notifications from the app (since I was offline in chat) but the messages were never shown under "Messages" nor in "Chat". Notifications on the other hand most of the time work properly. There were some instances on the previous updates that it did update, meaning there was a number there in a red circle, but when I opened my notifications, no actual new updates were there, although it appeared on my browser.

Yep, there's nothing we can do about it, unless we want to code a program ourselves. Well that's just me...

[Q] Whatsapp force closing when trying to share an image

Hey everyone. Whatsapp keeps force closing on me when I try to share an image from the gallery application. From within whatsapp it's fine. But only while sharing from the gallery application.
I wrote Whatsapp over a week ago and as usual they don't answer. So I'm not sure. I doubt it's the phone because I've tried 3 different ROMs and I've had the same issue with all of the roms. So I don't know what to do. It's not that big of a deal, but it is kind of a bother. Sometimes I just get a black screen and I have to back out completely and just go into whatsapp itself to do it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved: Whatsapp wrote me back today and the woman pointed me to the updated version they had on their website which totally fixed my issues! Thanks whatsapp hehe.
It works for me just fine...dont know why you have the issue..
infact i never had this issue in the various stock ROM's i have used in the past
I am on whatsapp version 2.7.431
If you are rooted try fix permissions , ROM manager has it... CWM recovery has it..might be few other ways too...
also check the settings in whatsapp, if the system status is showing working OK...
check if it works when you are on wifi...

I'm not rooted, that's the thing. All the roms have been stock (either an updated or not updated OS). Everything else on my phone works except this! It's strange. If I am not rooted can I still check permissions or anything else that you said? I'm also not interested in rooting. Thanks for the help
SOLVED! See first post

A factory reset is AFAIK the only thing that helps - or using an alternative Launcher like Nova or Apex.
try clearing the phone.apk data and reboot
Sent from the asylum
Data is cleared from settings/appmanager then find phone and clear data.
and reboot as slaphead said

I had this one before thinking about it, and it was my carriers voicemail that had caused the problem I think, I seem to remember phoning them and getting them to clear the call log or voicemail data, and it was sorted
Sent from the asylum
So what should I do right now ?
I'm totally confused
Btw I guess I didn't activate voicemail coz didn't use it

Check if this works:
Open Messaging>Menu>Delete Threads>Select all and Delete.
This fixed the issue for a colleague's phone. Might be a message which is stuck and not showing up in Messaging.

if you mean to delete the icon of it and drag and drop it again from apps ,
well the ANSWER IS YES i did , and i wonder the icon itself in apps menu stuck with no. 1 too like the other one
I had this and tried everything to clear it but unfortunately the only thing that worked was factory reset. Even reinstalling a later firmware didnt clear it.
Your apps are all redownloaded after thels reset, but you will lose anything saved in Your folders on the phone memory.

Whenever I recieve a new SMS/MMS, i dont get the "new message"-icon (an envelope) in the status bar, anyone else have this issue? Im running Omega v29.

Have you restored all the settings by Titanium Backup? Because I had the same issue when I always flashed a new rom and restored everything by Titanium Backup. TB is good for restoring apps but if you restore your sistem via TB that can cause problems.
Thanks for replying so fast!
No, i didnt do a full wipe anyway when upgrading from omega v27.2 to v29, so i didn't need to backup and restore with Titanium Backup...
You think a full wipe would resolve the problem?
Thx
Have you turned notifications on in the stock SMS app?

Gosh... im such an idiot... of course this was the problem
Thank you very much anthropolyte!
This actually brings me to another question:
I had a similiar problem, I always got the small "1" on the message app icon, eventhough no new message arrived... Restart sometimes fixed this problem, but not allways... Does anyone know more about this problem?
Thx so much for your help!
No worries
Regarding the notification, it's likely you have an old message somewhere in your messages list... if you don't, I seem to recall there was a known bug where that happened. Try doing a search.

I already checked, there are no old messages, i even deleted them all.
I also tried several possible solutions, but not a single one helped... The problem also seems to happen randomly...
- I restarted the phone
- I deleted the cache
- I deleted the cache of the "BadgeProvider.apk"
- I deleted the message app icon and replaced it on the home screen from the app list
None of the solutions helped... If anyone has another idea, i would be greatly thankful!

Whatsapp Weird Glitch....Need Help!!!

A weird glitch has been going on with my Whatsapp for more than week or two, It's simple, I reply a message, using the reply function and then as soon as my reply gets replied(hopefully you understand), the recipients reply above my reply disappears.
I can't post an image yet, but an example;
Hey
Hey(this then disappears)
Sup?
Sup?
I'm good
As soon as the recipient replies to my reply which is Sup?, the Hey above my reply(Sup?) disappears.
Thanks in advance for your replies, I really want to fix this problem, it's getting to my head.

Go for a clean re-install, see if it still happens. Delete the app, use a file explorer to clear the remaining folders and eventual media and do a fresh install from the Play Store, not modded/+ versions.

Yeah I have reinstalled the app twice and deleted every file of WhatsApp from the root directory, but still same result. I tried a Gbwhatsapp today and the problem seems to be gone, So I don't think it's my account that might be corrupted as well.
