Google Voice notification broken in Notify Pro - doesn't notify right away #207

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. send text to google voice number
2. delay can be anywhere between 5 mins to 1 hour: does the poll setting have 
anything to do with this?
3. sometime it doesn't notify at all

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected a popup as soon as google voice gets the text, with no delay. Like 
push notification.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
HTC One SV, Android 4.0.4+

Please provide any additional information below.
Not sure when this problem happened, but I got a popup for a google voice text 
that came in an hour late. It used to come in right away. I fiddled with the 
polling, turning it on (it was off before) and changing it to 5 mins. That 
didn't seem to help. FWIW, since I have a wifi network at home, I usually have 
my phone on wifi when I'm there. Not sure if polling on wifi would help, it 
seems to imply a delay of at least 5 mins before I get the popup. Workaround: 
Installed Notify Plus and turn it on thru that, it works instantly but doesn't 
provide quick reply.

Hi,

Yes, the polling time has everything to do with it. Push is not a feature of 
the Google Voice api. I would set the polling time to 5 minutes but no earlier 
than that. This is a web API so if for any reason the web request times out, 
then the polling will fail and you'll have to wait until the next polling 
period. I am looking into ways to improve on this design.
