I have to actually launch BBM to get my notifications/messages - they come pouring in.
Nothing has changed on my phone. Co-workers and friends have the same type of issue (different phones).
This is absurd. It's a simple messaging app and it doesn't even work right. Not only does notification not work, but many times I would launch BBM and it would open to a blank screen... I wait and nothing happens, so I have to "minimize/close" it and then launch again and then it's alive.
I have no issues whatsoever using SMS (Textra) and I'm seeing less and less need for BBM. The only thing it provides is a more "live" feel with the D and R, but that's not a big deal. It's less reliable and just taking up memory.
