messenger apps (like whatsapp) not working over wifi - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried Kik messenger, whatsapp, Talk (Gtalk) and kakaotalk and none work on wifi, only on 3g. Everything else works on wifi, play store, web browsing and other apps that use internet like twitter, facebook and facebook messenger.
A bit weird isn't it?

WhatsApp and Google Talk are working fine for me on wifi. Could you tell us a bit about which rom you're using, if you are rooted and if you restored backups via TB? Please try wiping your dalvik cache, reinstall the apps and see if the problem persists.

sorry correction. whatsapp IS working, none of the others incl Talk. I could send a message to my brother via 3g, and on wifi it only says "sending". KIK has had some problems lately but the fact that Talk doesn't work beats me.
I'm running stock unrooted.

haha! this really seemed like something that wouldn't be solved with a simple reboot but maybe I should try reboots a little more often for trivialities like this cause it solved the problem.

[Q] GMail app from phone to google not syncing properly

I recently upgraded my to the xtrSENSE 5.0.1 ROM and now I am having trouble syncing the GMail application.
Google to phone works correctly, but phone to google does not. The actual emails come through fine, but things like read/unread or archiving messages do not.
I have cleared the cache, reflashed the ROM, cleared all data for the GMail app and still no change.
I have apps2sd and cache2sd enabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I connected over WIFI to see if that would work correctly (originally was using 3G) and it worked from phone to Google as I expected. Switched back to 3G and then it worked again! Who knows but if anyone has this problem try connecting to WIFI then back to 3G to see if that fixed your problem.

It's good to see that you have it working, but one other thing is that in xtrSENSE there is an app called Gmail Storage. Clearing data from that will help restart the syncing from scratch.
Also, I have noticed in the past that there are times in the 2.1 version of gmail where it just doesn't sync mail status, such as read/unread, as well as on the Froyo+ version. That said, I'm back on xtrSENSE for several days now and have not had problems like that with gmail.

[Q] First the camera now my gmail is not working....

I'm currently running CM10-20121210-Nightly-d2spr.
I was trying it to see if I can get the camera to work and of course it still doesn't focus so I've pretty much given up on the camera ever working again. I guess I can live with that but the one thing I cannot live without on my phone is the gmail not working.
I can receive emails just fine but it will not send emails. It says "sending" when I press send and acts like it's working but it never leaves the phone.
Also, now when I delete an email in my gmail account it is not deleting on my desktop. So I guess I have two problems, the "SEND" feature is not working and it's no longer syncing with my desktop.
Any help, suggestions?
Sorry - found the solutuion after posting
But if anyone else is having the same problem..
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, Gmail, then click on clear data. You may also try rebooting after that.

[Q] [HELP] Not getting push notifications!!!

I followed steps in this thread almost to the letter (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909996) installed Gemini App Manager, BBS, LBE Security and Titanium Backup Pro to freez app. listed in this list (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html) as SAFE to freez but I must have disabled something I don’t know what but I’m not getting push notifications from gmail app., fb messenger app., etc…. So if someone could tell me which process is controlling push services.
I'm on stock 4.0.4 ROM, rooted...

check if sync is enabled in settings
Sorry forgot to mention that everything works OK when connected to WiFi, but not when connected to 3G....
sync is enabled, and all app. like gmail and fb messenger are NOT blocked to use mobile data.

Thankyou, but didn't help. It seems that via mobile data, all that works is the browser, google play and facebook(without push). Gtalk, viber, teamviewer, mail, and any other push notifications just won't work.
Reedit: SOLVED!. After/before installing the FIX, Users should also check the access points used for internet service. My service provider has 3 access pint: Net, MMs, Wap. MMS was initialy selected, through that service, push and other servers are unavailable.

Nougat Android 7 ROM push notifications

I've had the Eragon 4.8 running for some time on my P9000 but I wasn't getting Facebook messenger messages coming through without opening either messenger or Facebook. I thought I would install the Nougat Rom and see if that fixed the issue (last Friday).
Things were the same, and now over the last few days I've gradually lost all the rest of my push notifications, no WhatsApp unless I open the app, Exchange emails very slow to register, nothing from Facebook, and now even texts are not always arriving.
Gmail stopped this morning, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it, which seems to have fixed Gmail. Have tried with the other apps to no success.
I've variously cleared the app cache, and data. Cleared the phone cache (via TWRP), and tinkered with app settings, and not managed to fix it. Any ideas??
Thanks
I'll link to my own post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69388799&postcount=2
Did you try this?
