ceased working
  • AdunAdun July 2011

    I run the notifo beta on my samsung i9100 android phone.
    It worked perfect for a week or so, and yesterday it just ceased popping up notifications.
    I am subscribed to push.ly and I have not gotten a single notification for tweets (like 30 tweets) in two days. Worse is: I open the notifo app, and there they are. No need to hit "refresh", it just didn't bother to vibrate/sound (which I've checked and are enabled in the preferences).

    I restarted the phone, opened up the notifo app, and still nothing. I am not runing any "task killer". I tested sending me emails to the xxx@push.notifo.com address, and they show up on the notifo website, but nothing the cell phone.

  • I am facing the same issue too

  • bluspoonbluspoon July 2011

    I recently upgraded my handset from a HTC Wildfire (running Cyanogen 7.1.0-RC1), to a HTC Incredible S running the stock Sense ROM.

    The wildfire worked perfectly with notifo beta, but the incredible just doesnt seem to receive the notifications. When i open the app it lists the notifications from the site, but not as they come in.

    Am i overlooking something, or is this a problem with the Android Beta?

  • Nexus s with MIUI (2.3.4 based)
    Stopped getting notifications lately
    Still getting them on the iPad
    Looks like it's android related problem

  • drostardrostar July 2011

    Same issue here on Android. It *was* working, but eventually I noticed I'm not getting notifications when I'm supposed to. Using the test button on the setup page doesn't work either. It creates the notification within notifo, but doesn't send the notification to my phone. If I manually refresh the notifications list in the notifo app on my phone, they show up, but still doesn't beep or vibrate my phone.

    Samsung Galaxy S II (Android 2.3.3)
    Notifo v1.0.15

    Same issue here.

  • ottakyottaky July 2011

    Me too. Seemed to stop working last week sometime. Messages show up in the application, but nothing appears in the notification bar, no alarm, no vibrate. Had been working perfectly for many, many months previously .. I've not changed anything on my phone (HTC Desire, rooted, stock HTC 2.2) that I know of.

    (Long shot: could it be related to G+ app?)

  • rollerolle July 2011

    Same here, no notifications pushed to phone since week ago. Earlier it worked just fine. Htc Desire Z, rooted, Virtuous sense 2.3.3.

  • DooperDooper July 2011

    Same here. Worked perfectly for months, then it just decided to stop working a week or two ago. Running CM 7.1.0-RC1 on a Nexus One.

  • grassmunkgrassmunk August 2011

    Also stopped working on my HTC Aria running CM 7.1.0-RC1

    I tried clearing application data and cache data to no avail

    Can mods change the title of this to "Android Notification Ceased Working"?

  • AdunAdun August 2011

    Update: still not working. Tried upgrading the OS to 2.3.3 (samsung galaxy S II), still nothing. I have not received a single vibrate/sound in a week. it's dead, so sad. I loved notifo

  • rollerolle August 2011

    I still love Notifo and want this to work some time in the future. This is one app I'm willing to pay to get it working, it is so awesome and needed for me. Refreshing and following this page every single moment. I hope the developers answer here or to my messages some day soon.

  • cm2003cm2003 August 2011

    I will push this thread now as well, maybe this can be the basement for further discussions?!

    I've got the same issue as described. Notifo receives notifications, but doesn't push it forward to my mobilephone. If I open the Android App, the messages are getting loaded.

    Deleting the App + everything what is related to it from my phone + reinstall didn't take any effect. Also creating a new Notifo Account doesn't change anything.
    Wiping the App-Cache + deleting all Data doesn't change anything.
    Deleting all existing messages from my Account didn't change anything.
    Checking all the options available didn't change anything...

    I think I've tried almost everything from my side, except reinstalling my mobile - what I'm not going to do for Notifo.

    I guess it's an error of the push service on Notifosite.
    Hopefully it's getting fixed, otherwise I might check for an alternative service - even if I actually liked this one (the few days it was working for me) and would even have paid for it.

    Cheers,
    cm

    Same as others. push not working. If I manually load the app and refresh I get the links to pop in.

    I did that. Not for Notifo especially, but after it was not working any more. So it does not help either. It is definitely up to Notifo developers now.

    I agree, I would also pay for it. Thank goodness it was free because now it doesn't work obviously. We'll just have to wait... I'm already considering trying growl push and Notify My Android, if it works. But not willing to pay for trying, so first I think I'm going to wait if Notifo staff gets back on this.

  • zanewoodfieldzanewoodfield August 2011

    I have had to purchase notify my android and set this up to get around this problem. Samsung Galaxy S2. using API keys its actually a bit nicer than notifo... Was anyone using the api keys in notifo or just push email?

  • kadkad August 2011

    It just started working just fine again today after absolutely no changes on my side. I guess it was a change on the api endpoint that the app uses or something. I guess we'll know when the notifo guys feel like chiming in

  • ottakyottaky August 2011

    Was anyone using the api keys in notifo or just push email?



    Yep - I was (am still) using the API (with a Python wrapper).

    Ah - I've just tried sending a notification from the command line and it's working again. Maybe it's fixed now.

  • simonk83simonk83 August 2011

    Seems to be...

  • rollerolle August 2011

    Yeah, surprisingly started working this morning without any hiccups, without any actions. I've been using API all along as well. Awesome.

  • bluspoonbluspoon August 2011

    I'll just like to add that I am up and running too. Thanks notifo.

  • ismailakkilaismailakkila August 2011

    Same here..good as new

  • hplnaghplnag August 2011

    Im still having this problem, but with my Iphone (ios 4.3.3 - Notifo ver 2.1.1)

  • sumshsumsh August 2011

    All push notifications have stopped working for me as well. I'm using an iPhone 4 on 4.3.3 with Notifo ver 2.1.1. I've even uninstalled the app, rebooted, reinstalled, and still no luck.

  • BrianAzBrianAz August 2011

    Same issue here... Multiple iPhones stopped getting push notifications from Notifo at the exact same time. I am getting other push notifications and I know Notifo is getting the notification requests because I see them in my histories. Any word from Notifo on if this is being addressed??? Time to switch back to boxcar/prowl?

  • davoodoodavoodoo August 2011

    My Iphone has the same issue. I can't believe that there has been no notice from the powers that be????

  • mchangmchang August 2011

    Just started working again about 30 minutes ago on my android.

  • BrianAzBrianAz August 2011

    Working again here. Obviously someone saw the complaints and did something about it. I just don't understand why there's no formal response from Notifo staff. Should we be looking elsewhere? Do I need to follow you on twitter or something? Thx

    Yep, mine is also working. I also wish that there would be some response or notification on the main website when the service is down.

  • August 2011

    Push is not working on androids today. :( Good thing I use an iPhone!

  • grassmunkgrassmunk August 2011

    was working and now stopped working again :(

  • rollerolle August 2011

    Push stopped working completely couple of days ago on android... damn!

  • cm2003cm2003 August 2011

    Here the same...
    Notifo is a pain in the ass on android so far... Also don't understand why no support at all is given by the developers...

  • apopapop August 2011

    I'm also having this issue on a HTC Desire Z running CM7 - tried uninstall / reinstall / clear data etc. Works fine going into the app and hitting refresh, still nothing in the notification area.

  • simonk83simonk83 August 2011

    Hasn't worked for a while, but just started getting notifications again. Obviously flaky, but I guess it's still beta.

    Some comments from the devs would be nice though.

  • rollerolle September 2011

    Yeap, started to work again yesterday. Also would be nice to hear from the devs. Guess they're busy or something.

  • ottakyottaky September 2011

    It's apparently stopped working for me again. Don't know when, exactly, as I was on holiday recently and disabled sending while I was away.

    Notification shows up on the website, but I don't get an alert on the phone, and I have to refresh my alerts to see it in the alert list.

    (Using python wrapper around the API)

  • ottakyottaky September 2011

    Great - I just received a message that I sent about 15 minutes (or more) ago.

    No sign (so far) of the other four that I sent subsequent to that,

    Ah - number two literally just turned up.

  • joakimjoakim October 2011

    Here's an email you all will have received from the developer behind Notifo:

    ----

    Hi there,

    This is Chad, founder of Notifo. I wanted to reach out because you are an account owner of one or more Services on Notifo. This email is an announcement of some sad news.

    Over the past 20 months, Notifo has tried to be the best notification platform for multiple endpoints including iPhone, Android, Growl, Email, and a few more. Notifo has been my full-time job during this time.

    However, Notifo never gained enough traction with publishers or consumers to make enough revenue to pay the bills and sustain it as a company. As such, I have had to seek full-time employment elsewhere in order to pay my own living expenses.

    What does this mean for you and Notifo? Practically, it means that I will no longer be working full-time on Notifo. For now, Notifo will continue to run as-is with no further plans for development but will probably be shut down as a result. I will try to keep it alive as long as possible, but please know that it could go away at any moment. I will do my best to provide at least 30 days notice before Notifo is officially shut down.

    While Notifo will continue to run in the interim, I encourage you to find alternative methods to accomplish your services' goals.

    Some alternatives include:

    - Boxcar for iPhone/iPad - http://boxcar.io/
    - Prowl for iPhone - http://www.prowlapp.com/
    - SMS with Twilio - http://twilio.com/
    - Urban Airship - http://urbanairship.com/

    I want to thank all of you for using Notifo. I'm deeply sorry about this result.

    You may receive a few more emails from me regarding this situation. Please feel free to reply to this email to ask me any questions you may have.

    Thanks for all your support,
    -Chad

    Really sad news..
