I found it!!!

I'm running a Droid 2 Global. But, CM7, and the wifi did the same thing (worked great, then it scanned very intermittently if at all -- even with wifi analyzer -- and so wouldn't connect to anything.) I did the removing all access points the first time and it worked. It just happened again! This time I decided to dig in... so...the access point info is in

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

So, just as an example mine has

ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
device_name=Motorola phone
manufacturer=Motorola
model_name=TI1271
model_number=1271
serial_number=012345
device_type=1-0050F204-1
os_version=80000000

network={
ssid="ABC_IPC"
psk="not_the_real_password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=4
}
...(bunch of networks)...
network={
ssid="NETGEAR"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}
...(more networks)...

(I've got a few WEP and one WPA-EAP with PEAP entry, and they are real similar in structure.)

I have no idea when it decides to put "scan_ssid" in and when it doesn't, and why some have a priority and some don't. But whatever, that's not what's causing the problem.

Anyway... I backed up my wpa_supplicant.conf, removed all networks again (at which point the wifi networks immediately showed up..) and compared the files. Other than the network lines all being gone, there was one other difference. The backup had "ap_scan=2" in the top part, the cleaned out file didn't! That was it, I don't know what decided to add "ap_scan=2" to the file, but removing it fixed everything!

Anyway... so the fix procedure should be:

1) Turn off wifi

2) Edit the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, removing the "ap_scan=2" line.

3) Turn wifi back on. If it works, you're done!

4) If it says "error", it's due to permissions (since I copied mine to /tmp then back, it became owned by root and not readable by other users...). "adb shell chown wifi.wifi /data/system/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf" and "adb shell chmod 666 /data/system/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf" fixes that. Then try wifi again.

Elaborating on step 2, personally I used vi (so "adb shell", "cd /data/misc/wifi", "vi wpa_supplicant.conf") but that is a tricky editor to use. You should be able to "adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf", edit it with any editor that doesn't mangle text, and "adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf". I have no idea if that preserves permissions or not (i.e. if you need step 4.) A fancy enough root explorer on the phone might let you do it right on there too.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad11:
have you tried erasing all of your remembered WiFi networks. I had the same problem and the WiFi was stuck on connecting and i erased all of the WiFi networks and it suddenly worked
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
What also works (if you use Titanium) is to restore WiFi Access Points, which just puts back an old supplicant file a somewhat easier way.

Other backup utilities should be able to do the same thing, but I don't know them.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytte:
The following is from the doc about AP_scan.

Some networks will need it set to 2 others will not.

Changing the value from 2 is going to cause lots of changes that can have beneficial effects.

For the first time today networking would not come up following boot. Normally I just have to go through the switch on - off - on ritual.

Today it just wouldn't find any networks until I deleted one and then it all worked like magic.

When I checked subsequently the change time on wpa_supplicant.conf matched my change and

AP_scan=2 so I don't believe having it set to 2 is the cause of the problem.

# AP scanning/selection

# By default, wpa_supplicant requests driver to perform AP scanning and then

# uses the scan results to select a suitable AP. Another alternative is to

# allow the driver to take care of AP scanning and selection and us

# wpa_supplicant just to process EAPOL frames based on IEEE 802.11 association

# information from the driver.

# 1: wpa_supplicant initiates scanning and AP selection; if no APs matching to

# the currently enabled networks are found, a new network (IBSS or AP mode

# operation) may be initialized (if configured) (default)

# 0: driver takes care of scanning, AP selection, and IEEE 802.11 association

# parameters (e.g., WPA IE generation); this mode can also be used with

# non-WPA drivers when using IEEE 802.1X mode; do not try to associate with

# APs (i.e., external program needs to control association). This mode must

# also be used when using wired Ethernet drivers.

# 2: like 0, but associate with APs using security policy and SSID (but not

# BSSID); this can be used, e.g., with ndiswrapper and NDIS drivers to

# enable operation with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; in this mode,

# the network blocks in the configuration file are tried one by one until

# the driver reports successful association; each network block should have

# explicit security policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for

# key_mgmt, pairwise, group, proto variables

# When using IBSS or AP mode, ap_scan=2 mode can force the new network to be

# created immediately regardless of scan results. ap_scan=1 mode will first try

# to scan for existing networks and only if no matches with the enabled

# networks are found, a new IBSS or AP mode network is created.

ap_scan=1

Same issue here. Wifi was working at home but now at the office I get the wifi loop. Tried the trick but no luck. What a bummer. Had planned on messing with the Nook today but no luck so far.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glemdot:
Thanks a lot! Fixed it for me as well!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyjc:
Using CM7.1, I've also experienced the same wi-fi problem as the OP. What worked for me:

1. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks uncheck "wi-fi"

2. now go to >Wi-Fi settings

3. now check "Wi-Fi" here

Now the Nook starts scanning and finds the APs and connects to my router. I didn't have to have the networks "forgotten".

Go figure!

Hello xda-members.

Cause I don't have 10 posts in your pleasant forum here, I am not able to post in the dev-part directly concerning the MOD for the camera.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090785

So I'll try here...

I just installed the new 1.1.3.4 Version (128) via Astro-FM. First i deleted the cam app via Titanium-B. The 64 and 96 Version seem to be broken @tm. The method via CWM doesn't work either.

Now if I record a video in 1080p the sound and the video are quite suspended. I Doesn't matter if I choose the internal SD or external. I'm running the Fr17 Modaco (prebake)

720 works fine instead.

So, does anyone else face this problem too? Any suggestions? If it's possible i'd like to post in the dev-thread...

Kind regards
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Are you saving your video to external SD card??? if so id try saving it to the internal, as the r/w will be faster than the external.
[LG Optimus 2x] TheReino:
As said, doesn't matter.

I just sent the videos to my PC. There's no out of synch. Perfect match of sound and image. Seems to be a player problem on the mobile device...

I'd like to know if others have the same issue...?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
yes, since the 1.st version !

when playing back on device, sound is not in sync with video ...

i guess it could be the player app, i´m using LG video player ...

by the way, i corrected wrong update zip, now you can flash via CWM ...

[LG Optimus 2x] TheReino:
You're right. With the first Version I also didn't realize the problem.

For now I tested with rockplayer and the original LG. With both players the sound and image are out of synch on the P990.

I don't even have a clue whats happening with the files or players... May both internal and external SD card are to slow? :D Who knows. I have a class 4 external SD. But I think even 4 MB writespeed would be enought for the 17Mbit stream...

17Mbit / 8 = 2,125 Megabyte

Even a good class 2 card would be enought...
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
We love CM7 and want to see it in Desire S.

Desire S and Desire HD are both hardware basically same. Can we port CM7 from Desire HD to Desire s ? i dont think its very hard to get it working.

Hardware:

Desire S: 1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon

1.1 GB ROM, 768 MB RAM

Desire HD: 1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon

1.5 GB ROM, 768 MB RAM

it would very cool if anyone port it to desire s. i hope i am not the only one loving Cm7 rom.

(sorry for my poor english)
[HTC Desire S] GideonB234:
Good luck if you want to, Desire S has a locked bootloader so therefore it's gonna take someone who has the phone and has experience in Android ROMs to be able to port it.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Q80:
*Updated*

Here are two ways to get the WhatsApp to work:

1- Using MyBackup pro:

2- Using TB (Thanks to mickliq):

Issues:

Contact names do not show up permanently on Xoom's WhatsApp.

Only numbers of contacts that you previously chatted with on your phone's WhatsApp will show up.

Temporary Solution:

1- Hold your finger on the conversation until a menu pops up.

2- Select "Add to Existing Contact"

3- Choose the Google Accounts contact that has the same number.

4- The name will appear as long as you don't close the WhatsApp.

Waiting for any suggestions to solve this issue permanently!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mickliq:
Would also love to have this. Even sideloaded it from my SGS II. Unfortunately, whatsapp relies on an SMS verification when it's loaded on a device, and of course the Xoom Wifi has no SMS. Unless the dev specifically launches a version of the app that works without SMS activation, I'm afraid it doesn't look good.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
I've tried pingchat before.....it does work on the xoom though....you need to sideload it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Q80:
Hurrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I've done it!!!

Works great .. but it will cost you $4.99 though.

Look at my first post for more details.. :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mickliq:
Going to try this using Titanium Backup as I already own it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] huzz:
EPIC!!! works with Titanium Backup as well. Now if I could only figure out how to sort out the contacts...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mickliq:
Got it working using TB as well (just BT'd over the files). My concern now is I have Whatsapp on two devices. I have a feeling it stopped working on my "phone".
[Xoom Themes and Apps] senaca:
interessting. Would like to have a confirmation that it works on both devices at the same time. Similar to Gtalk. I am also wondering what will happen after an update.

I'm missing whatsapp on WIFI xoom :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Q80:
Great news guys!

would any of you who tried the Titanium Backup way post a detailed steps so that I could post it under the MyBackup way.

Also, I could confirm that the whatsApp on the Xoom would work "separately". This means that it won't work similar to Gtalk.

A great idea is to use it on a google number!

Now I have the whatsApp working on my Google number on my Xoom and the WhatsApp working on my AT&T number on my phone!

So whoever wants to talk to me on my phone would talk to me on my at&t# and whoever wants to talk to me on my xoom would talk to me on my Google#
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mickliq:
Pretty simple using TB:

Selected Whatsapp as application backup under TB on my SGSII

It created 3 files under sdcard/TitaniumBackup

Sent the 3 files via Bluetooth to my Xoom (they ended up in sdcard/downloads)

moved 3 files to sdcard/TitaniumBackup from sdcard/downloads on the Xoom

Ran TB on Xoom

Selected "Restore Missing Apps+Data" (in this case only Whatsapp showed up since it's the only app sitting in the TB folder)

Launched Whatsapp

That's it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] yoshitweaky:
I am going to try and take the files from a full backup, is this how you did it?

Did you take 3 files across to the xoom?

you answered above as I was asking ;-)

cheers
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cyric78:
Hmm... tried this with TB, but unfortunately I get an error saying "We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone, take out the batter, restart it and try again."

I was REALLY hoping I could get What'sApp working, but, maybe soon..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Q80:
As from the error that you've got its clear that you might forget to verify your phone number on your phone's whatsapp before you backup the app.

Try to verify it on your cell phone. Then, backup it and restore it on your xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cyric78:
I did that before I did anything with it, I ran the app, sent a couple msgs, backed up, and moved it to the xoom...

I'm really interested in getting this working.. hope someone has an idea on what I'm doing wrong...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] huzz:
Did you copy all the three files that TB creates on the phone and copied them to the xoom? Coz mine is working perfectly fine.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cyric78:
Of course.. I tried several times, but all with no luck, I have to initialize the app, so it will start looking for the phone number and what not...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cboy82:
It does work but whatsapp fails to show the names of my contacts only there phone numbers
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wowzors:
Hmmm, Keep getting an error everytime I hit restore. Says I/O Error: unable to write to SD Card.

Edit: whether I have and SD card in there or not*
[Xoom Themes and Apps] AndroidCR:
You have to restore app first, run it, it will show that message, then close the app and in TB restore just app data and that's it...you will have WhatsApp running... ;-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wowzors:
Got it working, not bad. Like it was stated earlier though, names do not show up just numbers, wonder if there is a way to fix that?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cboy82:
i doubt it because it doesnt have our sim contacts

hmmm, mine hasnt been receiving new messages, just has the ones from original transfer, any ideas?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Q80:
Try to uninstall your phone's Whatsapp or at least force close it if u want to always use the whatsapp on ur xoom. Otherwise, if u are using the same number for both devices , then the last whatsapp u used will be the active one which u recevie msgs on. :)

great, thank you share here.:rolleyes:

do u reli call dis works perfectly when it forgets da contact names everytime u close app?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BLAQK ROXSTAR:
I was thinking the same thing as well but at least it works.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Q80:
Sorry about misunderstanding .. I changed it to >> works good enough .. is dat good enough 4 ya guys? :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] huzz:
Odd I just went to stock 3.01. Updated to 3.1 via OTA and got on the Timat ROM and for some reason now whatsapp won't restore from back up sorta just skips :-s

[EDIT]

Seems like a bug on my side. Titanium isn't backing up Whatsapp properly.

[/EDIT]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] franciscojavierleon:
the iphone version handles this better. It sends you a 3 digit pin number. So when you manage to actually install the thing on the ipod/ipad, it asks for the number, and sends the pin to whatever phone has the number you selected, then you type it in manually.

still, it doesn't let you use the app on two devices at the same time with the same phone number. as soon as i installed on the ipod, my atrix stopped working and had to reinstall it there. So if i have it on my atrix i cannot install it to my iconia tablet without the same number since from what you have tested i cannot install without restoring the full activated backup.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] misc77:
Guys, actually it's very simple. I tried it myself and works.

Here's how:

Use the SIM card (mobile number) and insert into Tab 10.1 that you want your contact to see if you are online. This is also the number that you will be using to send/receive Whatsapp.

Download the latest Whatsapp here and install it on your Tab

Run Whatsapp and key in the SIM card mobile number and wait for it to verify

Wala... now you have a running Whatsapp!

Every mobile broadband card there is a number associated. If you do not know what is the number of the sim card, then take out the SIM card and plug it into a working phone, create a sms and send it to yourself and you will see a number popping up. That is the number you should key in Whatsapp.

NOTE: Because the number you are using in Whatsapp will determine who will see or will not see you online, therefore, I recommend either you inform your contacts that you have two Whatsapp running. One is on Tab while the other is on your phone. You cannot run both together using one number, but you can also circumvent if you intend to use it on your Tab rather than your phone, just use the SIM number that you are using for calls and insert into Tab to verify then take out the SIM and put back to your phone. It will still work.

It's easy and someone made it complicated. I thought so too initially!

PS: you won't be able to see your contact list as usual.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] urra901109:
hi guys.. i have a problem here. i can't get access to an android phone, at least in the near future since my money is gone into buying this galaxy tab p1010 only to know whatsapp wouldn't work on wifi only devices. :(

i'd be happy if someone can help me to get it to work on this p1010. currently i have a sim already "WhatsApp activated" on Nokia's WhatsApp. is there any way i can bypass the activation? I tried using android sdk to generate the titanium backup files but it stuck at "sending activation sms" in whatsapp.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] moheeb:
Solution for fixing the names in whatsapp

There are two solutions for fixing the names in whatsapp

the first is by command line and the second is by using a gui application. whatsapp stores the information in SQLite database. You can use command line sqlite to update the whatsapp table or just download the database file to your computer and use a GUI application to update the table.

The whatsapp database file location is

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/wa.db

for command line update:

1- you need to have sqlite installed in your android if you want to use command line. If titanium backup installed in your machine, then just use the installed version of sqlite in TB directory.

2- run this command to

/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/sqlite3 /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/wa.db

otherwise just do a search

cd /

find . -name "sqlite3"

to see tables run this command

sqlite> .tables

android_metadata wa_contacts

sqlite>

3- you need to edit wa_contacts table

and just update the field display_name. you will see a phone number in each row

update wa_contact set display_name = "xxxx" where jid = "PHONE NUMBER";

to see all phone numbers run this command

select * from wa_contacts;

if you are good in scripting then you can create a script to transfer all contacts from your device contacts to whatsapp.

phone contacts are stored in SQLite database

location

/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases

If you want to do it from your android, then download these two application "aShell and aSqliteManager". If you want to use windows then download this open source application

sourceforge.net/ projects/ sqlitebrowser/

copy the database to your computer

update the database and then store it back to its location

Note

after updating the database restart whatsapp
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The_Nitro:
Thanks a lot for your info. :) Despite it, I had surprised when all display_name fields on my wa.db from Xoom were informed. I´ve compared both files, from xoom and my phone, and they are identical.

I´ll post any progress I made.

Anyway, Thanks very much :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] adamelphick:
Hmmm.. I must be doing something wrong!

I installed WhatsApp (I have it on my HD7 Windows Phone too) and I used my Tablet SIM number this time. I popped the number in and it communicated back and said it had registered. The problem is it says no one on my contact list has WhatsApp... when they do!

I have tried everything to sync the contacts (I only have 3 or 4 with WhatsAPP anyway) but I just cant seem to make it see them. Also I added my Tablet SIM to my own contact on my phone and it doesnt see me on that (other way round!).

On the Xoom using 'other' it says the service is running correctly for the app though.. hmmm ... help!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The_Nitro:
I think it´s the same problem described above. You must select who you want to talk from the contacts or try to solve the problem by modifying the database as moheeb described.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ray1234:
Not that I can help...I'm on the same boat, got to try the database edit thing to see if it works

Just to let every one laugh, do you know that Android 2.2 doesn't have this stupid problem we have on contacts? On 2 separate Andriod 2.2 tabs (without 3G or phone module), I've installed whatsapp via the Titanium restore and the contacts work! on 2.2, the contacts get synced directly from gmail, I can even put the contact photos on gmail and whatsapp will read the photo and put it on whatsapp contact as well!

I also have an Acer A500 running 3.2 which also have this contacts list problem... I basically have to use back my 2.2 tab to do whatsapp... as in 3.2 if I erased the message from a friend, there is no way I can send another message to that friend, since I can't send message to any new contacts without previous messages. If you can't send messages to someone with no message history, then whatsapp isn't working good enough! I think the title of this thread needs to be changed.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ray1234:
some new findings : the contacts in whatsapp does not get erased if you do not set in the sync settings to include whatsapp, maybe 3.0 onwards has special contact sync process which whatsapp is not compliant with, so whatsapp contacts gets all erased when sync is on.... there is no phones on 3.0 anyway, so maybe that is something whatsapp needs to do to allow contact sync in 3.0 onwards.

For now, we can edit the wa.db file to add in whatever contacts we want, and then it'll stay as long as you ensure sync is not on. That way, I can send to new contacts without chat history... a bit troublesome to use, but works ok.

EDIT [11 Nov 11] - the latest version from whatsapp's web 9743 resolved the contacts issue. The whatsapp contacts can now sync with the tab even if you're on android 3.2, so as long as you set up you contacts on gmail, you can use whatsapp with no issue on a tab
