How To Fix Push Notifications

The first step we suggest to do is a Push Notifications test. Remember that on Whited00r Unlocker firmwares Push Notification don’t work by default: this is not a problem of Whited00r firmware itself, but it is caused by the fact that Whited00r Unlocker firmwares skip the activation you should do via iTunes after the restore (technically, they are ‘hacktivated’)

On the other hand, any Whited00r Normal firmware should have Push Notification working ‘out of the box’, since you will have to pass the iTunes activation in order to use your device

Test Push Notifications with iPusher. You can find it on the AppStore or on AppTimeMachine: this is a simple application to test Push Notification, nothing else

Push Notification are not working? Do you need a fix to enable them? Use the service of PushFixer.com that is tested with Whited00r 6 PushFixer.com

Enjoy!
