Push without network connection doesn't work

dimokrat says:
Hello!

Just purchased 1-month Pro subscription and found that Push notifications don't work without active network connection (Wi-Fi or 3G).

Is there any way to fix it? I can't leave my iDevices with permanent network connection, therefore usually it's turned off, and I can miss the notifications.

Yeah, I can try to use SMS, but it's not very useful at all.

Looking forward for your help.

A Push Notification that can not be delivered at the time it is issued may be held by Apple for delivery later. Unfortunately, how long the notification will be held is not specified, so some notifications may expire without being delivered.

You mentioned that SMS reminders will not work for you, but you may want to try one of the other reminder methods available. You can find more information about those here.

Hope that helps!

Brendan, what about using iOS4 local notifications in RTM?

Hi action.manager,

The app doesn't currently support Local Notifications, but as indicated in the iPhone app FAQ here, "this is a feature that we'll consider as we work to improve the app in the future".

You may also want to vote for this in our Ideas forum here.

Thanks for your feedback!

The firewall at work stifles iOS notifications, so I'd love to have local notifications, too. Great idea.
