Whatsapp on Sony Xperia

[SonnyK]

Settings
Data usage
Top right corner (click to display a menu)
2nd tick box is restrict background data.

It must not ve restricted if you want WA to work on 3G. Or that is what I have found. It is probably coz when your phone is in standby/sleep mode WA is a background app...

So I should tick "Restrict background data"?

Stamina turns off wifi and 3G, so if an app is white listed, but needs net, it is effectively...

do u have stamina mode on this phone?

Thank you guys. Stamina mode was the issue. Whatsapp working now but for some reason I only receive messages once I open the app. In normal standby mode no notifications are coming through

Doubt its the phone. I have it and ABUSE Whatsapp If I don't use the phone for a few hours, I still get the message immediately, unlike my ex iPhone 5:erm:

I'm assuming you have the Sony Xperia Z?

Disable automatic application updates. You should be safe then.

Also, the phone has a mobile data limiter. Set it to warn you when you reach a certain amount of data used, and set it to cut off when you reach another amount of data used. Personally, because I'm on Cell C and get 100mb a month free, I set the warning to about 55megs and cut it off at 85megs.

I noticed on Whatsapp that I dont get messages on time when the phone goes into sleep mode, but I haven't figured out yet whether its because of the crap Cell C service or the phone itself.

Also, there is a problem with getting notifications when you enable stamina mode and the phone goes into sleep mode, even though you have the app on the whitelist.

I've re-installed the app and it's working fine now.

New issue is an on and off freezing of Android on this phone. Additional to that I sometimes can't answer a call becasue the "answer-swipe" does not respond.

How do I take Android off and reinstall it again?

Have you got a warranty on the phone? That would be your best bet
