Latest known WhatsApp problems on Samsung Galaxy Note 2
1
Why does WhatsApp keep struggling with notifications on my Galaxy Note 2?
On the Note 2 the usual cause is the system or a task killer closing WhatsApp in the background. First make sure WhatsApp's own alerts are on: open WhatsApp > Menu > Settings > Notifications and check that message notifications are enabled with a tone. Then in the phone's Settings > Application manager > WhatsApp, confirm Show notifications is ticked. If you use a battery-saving or RAM-cleaning app, exclude WhatsApp from it so it isn't force-closed. See how others solved this on Reddit

I'm no longer getting any WhatsApp notifications on my Galaxy Note 2
Check notifications at both levels: in Settings > Application manager > WhatsApp make sure Show notifications is ticked, and inside WhatsApp under Menu > Settings > Notifications make sure message notifications and a tone are set. Then clear WhatsApp's cache via Settings > Application manager > WhatsApp > Clear cache (not Clear data) and reboot. If it still fails, reinstall WhatsApp from the Google Play Store so it re-registers for push. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp notifications on my Galaxy Note 2 are very delayed and only arrive when I open the app
Delayed alerts that only appear when you open the app mean WhatsApp is losing its background data connection. In Settings > Application manager > WhatsApp make sure background data is allowed and the app is not restricted. Turn off any power-saving or data-saver mode, and stop using task-killer apps that close WhatsApp. Keeping a stable Wi-Fi or mobile-data connection while the screen is off lets push messages arrive in real time.

Why don't I get WhatsApp notification alerts on my Note 2 while I'm using the phone?
This is usually Blocking mode (the Note 2's version of Do Not Disturb) or the in-app notification setting muting alerts. Go to Settings > Blocking mode and turn it off, or remove WhatsApp from its allowed list. Then in WhatsApp > Menu > Settings > Notifications make sure a notification tone and pop-up/light are set so alerts show even while you are in another app. See how others solved this on Reddit
5
I'm getting duplicate WhatsApp notifications on my Galaxy Note 2
Double alerts usually happen when WhatsApp is also signed in to WhatsApp Web or a second device, so both notify at once. On a computer go to web.whatsapp.com and log out of any sessions you don't recognize, or in the WhatsApp app open Menu > WhatsApp Web and tap Log out from all devices. If duplicates persist, clear WhatsApp's cache under Settings > Application manager > WhatsApp > Clear cache and restart the phone. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp notifications completely stopped working on my Galaxy Note 2 after working fine for a while
When notifications die after working for a time, WhatsApp's background process has been killed. Avoid swiping WhatsApp out of the recent-apps list, and stop any task-killer or aggressive memory-cleaning app from closing it. In Settings > Application manager > WhatsApp confirm Show notifications and background data are both allowed, then reboot the phone to force WhatsApp to re-register for push.

How to install WhatsApp on Samsung Galaxy Note 2
1
Choose how to download
On your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 you can get the official app two ways: from the Google Play Store — the easiest option, since it keeps WhatsApp updated automatically — or directly from the official website. You can download an APK file, by clicking a link “Download WhatsApp directly”.
2
Open WhatsApp
Launch WhatsApp from your home screen or app drawer and accept the Terms of Service to start setup.
3
Verify your phone number
Enter your phone number. If your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 uses dual SIM, pick the line you want WhatsApp tied to, then enter the 6-digit code it sends by SMS — it usually fills in automatically.
4
Restore chats and finish setup
Restore your chat history from Google Drive (use the same Google account), add your name and photo, and tap Allow for notifications so messages and calls arrive reliably.
Stay safe: only ever install WhatsApp from the official Android source. The Download button above already points there — modified copies (GB/Plus/Aero WhatsApp) can get your number banned.
