Whatsapp on Galaxy Tab 10.1

I am really new to this, I have just recently purchase a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi only (model : GT-P7510) using build Android version 3.1

I have downloaded the .apk file and try to install it on my Galaxy Tab, I am able to successfuly install the file but I am not able to run the application, getting error "We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone, take out the battery, restart it and try it again. (Note: tablets are currently not supported).

I can see the previous posting suggested using Titanium BackUp for Whatsapp and transfering to the phone, (if i am not mistaken, that will means rooting the phone, is there any option that doesn't require rooting the phone?)

Please advise, what can I do to use Whatsapp on my Galaxy Tab 10.1

Many Thanks in advance.

I dont use the App but I read your method and I must say it is pretty creative solution. It probably would work for most apps that arent compatible with the tab and your phone (and perhaps vice versa)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] nebgonf:
The version from the Whatsapp website doesn't support custom roms?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hkmate:
Its great to know it by your sharing thanks a lot

Thanks jorisvdende ! :D

unistall, delete whatsapp folder and install again

Nice technique.I'll try it out one of these days.

I solved the contact name / phone number synchronization problem by going to whatsapp settings --> More --> Show all contacts (mark it to 'yes')

Cheers

I did that but same error.

I cannot install whatsapp on my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi only P7510.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sonus:
Thanks, needed this as my tablet is Android, but my phone runs WP7. So I can not use the backup/restore method. My issue is in what directory do I place the modem.bin file on the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] misterright321:
for me it also work with another backup.

just use the same on tablet and mobile.

but thanks :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] antonywan:
Whatapps is works!

I can use my whatapps in Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi

What you need?

a) Both devices have Titanium Backup Pro

b) 2 Phone No. ( one no. cannot use at both device)

SIMCARD Device:

First, clean up and uninstall whatapps program in your SIMCARD device

At usual , insert the simcard(No.) that you want use in 10.1 wifi

install whatapps as usual, get the sms(code) and key in

get a freshcopy of whatapps, and use Titanium Backup Pro

you will get 3 whatapps backup files at /sdcard/TitaniumBackup

1) com.whatsapp-XXXXXXXXXXXX.properties

2) com.whatsapp-XXXXXXXXXXXX.tar

3) com.whatsapp-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.apk

then copy it to computer for reserve

Uninstall whatapps & clear whatapps data in simcard device, take out the simcard

Tab 10.1 WIFI:

Copy those 3 files to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, use Titanium Backup restore APP+DATA

Now you can use whatapps in Tab 10.1 WiFi with wifi connection.

&

DONTX10 .....STUPID to use Same Phone No. in both Devices & I also not suggest update your whatapps in Tab 10.1 WiFi

that's a very helpful reference. but now that i read it requires whatsapp to be running exclusively only on one device per phone number, i will work on this when i get another number then. thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] moaustin316:
I used my work phone number as my second number. I then synced my contacts from my phone to my tab and I was able to add my tablet to group messages. Whatsapp looks real good on the tab.

text from tab

Try Mightytext, its a free app from the play store. Two apps, one for your phone and one for the tab.

I have this installed on my S3, Tab 10.1 & Chromebook and works great on them all. Texts come through instantly.

Chromebook version is available for Google chrome from the chrome store.

Hi,

I have silent call bug on my Sens...

I read all the posts from XDA( i think)...

during random calls both sides just MUTE....

I tried rooting with Revolutionary HD but it was a blank.

Any idea?

Sensation with silent call bug is as good as a brick:-(

i have this issue too!!! help!

Turn all the lights off, make sure the room is very dark.

Turn on auto brightness in settings.

Turn on auto screen power adjustment.

Click the following link and make the imagine full screen.

Look specifically for black horizontal lines going down the screen. I have one, my best friend has one in a different spot, my girlfriend has none. All bought from the same store.

***POST UPDATED****

Ok now listen very carefully. In order to see this picture you need to have your brightness all the way UP.

You have to do the exact opposite that you have to do when trying to find the defect on your own screen.

This is a picture of my screen taken in total darkness with a damn playskool camera:

Looks like that site doesn't allow hot linking... can you attach the file?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:

Dont see anything guess my screen is fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Milkshakes00:
I guess you can claim that it's a defect...

It doesn't make the same line looking at an image that isn't that, so.. I dunno.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Make sure its totally dark in the room! If so you're good, nothing to worry about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Interesting... I have a solid darker line going from top to bottom slightly to the left from the center. I also see some spots around the screen that I thought at first might have been fingerprints as they're a little more blurred than the rest.

Never noticed anything until I viewed this image.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
That's exactly where mine is at.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WillEat4F00d:
I don't know if I'm doing this right. I don't really see "lines", just two boxes at the bottom that I can move left and right. Then the whole middle of the screen isn't as "dark" as the top 25%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
You need to take one of the attached grey images and open it full screen on your phone so that nothing else is showing on the screen. Then follow the rest of the instructions to check for defects.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
yep mine has a black strip coming down from top to bottom.. noticed this 2 nights ago
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nomisunrider:
Do you mean vertical lines going down the screen?

Horizontal is left->right Vertical is top->bottom...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Haha yes thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
Ya I have one too that's slightly left, same as was described already in this thread. When did you get yours? I got mine the first day, if you got yours on the same day then both screens were probably in the same batch and all have this defect. It isn't visible outside of a gray picture in complete darkness, and doesn't effect the screen otherwise, so I'm pretty sure that the screen passed QA testing wihtout anyone noticing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
everyone ive showed this to has a line from top to bottom slightly to the left....you sure its not just in the wallpaper....because ive looked at similar dark grey wallpapers with the same settings on in dark light and none of thoes have ever showed a line
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kinubic:
mine doesnt have any :D !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Yes I'm sure its not the wallpaper. I can tell because when I turn the phone sideways the picture rotates but the line doesn't. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I got mine day one.

This may sway me towards waiting for the prime announcement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Have you done the latest updates from within the phone? Mine is finding one but ive ignored it because im afraid it will lock my bootloader or something LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
LOL

Want a very similar grey image that we all see on a daily basis? Just drop down the notifications bar :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NascarFastcar:
no lines.. but tons of spots all over. Guess its time to takw advantage of that 30 day
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phonic:
I have no lines (woohoo!), but I do notice a discoloration on the bottom right of the screen. A little lighter in color then the rest of the picture. It's around both the bottom and right sides, maybe half an inch out in both directions, and curves around in the middle. Thought it was a finger smudge, but nope. Oh well, not that big of a deal since this is the first I've noticed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aimfire72:
I got it also, left side... I only notice it with certain colors though, common flaw with these amoled screens, my Nexus S had these problems too.. It seems to be pretty normal :-(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elhippo:
At least for me, it appears to be image burn in. I have some random darker non-uniform lines at the bottom of my screen that must be caused by some image.

I can rotate my phone and I can see a very faint discoloration that's the exact same size and shape as the status bar. You can even see the burn in caused by the time display and icons. This is disconcerting because I've only had maybe 6 hours of screen time and it's already having these problems. I hope it doesn't get much worse than this.

Interestingly enough, this reminds me of early Plasma TVs after the first couple weeks of use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kinubic:
what updates are u referring to?

only line is see is the border? at the top and left? and the scroll bars? but nothing in the center or watsoever of the screen o.o

and i can see these borders on the white part too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nohcho:
Overtime, it will get much worse than this. Amoleds are highly susceptible to burn ins. I was hoping that samsung would fix that with samoled plus but, evidently, its not the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
I can kind of see the line, but more noticeable than anything is the light bleed at the very lower left hand corner. Not worth returning over, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Dont know what to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] streak4m3:
To the OP,

Thank you for sharing. MY screen indeed has a defect. Not only is there a slight vertical line, but there is more obvious diagonal line! You could probably tests it on any gray image or just pull the notification bar down and you should see.

I will be exchanging my phone once I get back from the trip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apanihi:
thanks was looking for this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
No burn in, black lines, or light bleed here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrRobinson:
mine's good. whew. I hate little issues like that. even if the only way to see it is by loading a all black screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Tested mine its fine. I do see a shade difference where the notification bar is though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
Time to hope AT&T/Samsung to recall/fix this issue? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elhippo:
It's seems to be a screen technology problem. If you read the other forums with amoleds (sgs2 international, etc) you will see the exact same problems (and sometimes much worse). Just search for 'screen' in any of those forums.

It seems that it's very possible to end up with a much worse phone after exchanging since every single one seems to have some sort of minor issue. Not everyone can see it, depends on the person and how long they have been using their screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] _icemanu:
I just got the Galaxy yesterday, I have a slanted line around midway of the screen separating the image where the upper side of the image is dark and lower side is lighter. Even after rotating the image the slanted line remains in the same position.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Update

I had a chance to test my buddy's sprint s2 with the same image. No black lines of any sort.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
I dont look at all black pictures for fun so I guess I am good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I just noticed that I don't even have to look at that .gif to see the issue. When I simply open up the Gallery and see the thumbnail of the picture, I can see this line in the default background image. I was able to also load up various other pictures and barely see the line as I scrolled through them.

I'm not sure I like that I see this now. Would have never noticed it to be honest but if it never gets worse I'll be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
I see the the lines too, mostly on 0% brightness. This is my third sgs2 with a defective screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
You also dont read text with your eyes apparently . A black image will not show you defects on an amoled screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
What were the other defects?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] streak4m3:
Excellent point. The defects show best on gray screens but can be seen on other colors. The problem I have with the defect on my screen is that the second, more evident diagonal line, shows other images (websites, gallery, messages, etc) and has the same sort of annoyance to me as if I had a scratch for example. And that is beside the fact that this defect can potentially lead to some permanent failures relative to panel defects. It is very disappointing and since it is not on all screens - clearly it is a defect and needs to be fixed (exchanged).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
no lines or spots or messed up corners here... but i definitely could see a circle - about an inch in diameter - VERY faintly on the bottom of the screen.

didn't notice it until i went looking for it, and i can't see it unless i am on 100% brightness with a very dark background in a completely dark room and i'm specifically looking for it.

i'll monitor it to make sure it doesn't get worse, but hopefully it will just go away. if it stays the same, i can certainly live with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
White spot. The lines I see on my third unit it's barely noticeable only on a grey background mention by the op. Not that the screen looks bad, but don't recall seeing any type of burn in, lines on my infuse. Samsung what's going on here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] _icemanu:
This is how the image renders on my two SGSII. The diagonal line begins at different location on both; but it clearly exists.

Is this the behavior discussed here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NascarFastcar:
Went to the atnt store today and the rep didnt believe me. Plus I couldn't prove it since there was no dark area to show him. Plus I didnt feel like playing roulette andpaying the 35$ restocking fee.

I just have these small black blotches that appear on the screen only when the brightness is turned all the way down and you are in a dark room and viewing a gray image/notification area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
Mine is fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kbilly70:
This is almost exactly how it looks on my gs2. The triangle in the corner is a little smaller on my phone.

Is it just me or does the discoloration on the right side of the screen resemble half of an android?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Zinge:
I don't really see the problem other than you all are just very nit-picky. Every piece of technology isn't flawless, and most of you are saying you haven't even noticed it until you look at this picture and only under certain conditions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NascarFastcar:
It dosent bother me. Unless I ever find myself looking at grey stuff at the lowest brightness in a dark room. I just dont want it to become a serious problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] opposition1:
I have it. Vertical dark line. But I fail to see the issue. I have only seen it doing this test so as long as it doesn't get worse or turn bright yellow and show up on everything I do, I don't really care
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Its good to know there are people out there willing to pay hundreds of dollars of hard earned money for a defective product. Really puts things into perspective for me.

I on the other hand will be taking this phone into the store and receiving one that is NOT defective.

Because that is what I've paid for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
i'm not going to try it. it looks fine as it is, so i don't want to see anything different by doing this. i once had a giant widescreen Sony CRT that had a line like that going across the screen. when i called to complain, i was told it was normal and part of the screen technology. i went on and just tried not to pay attention to it. cool story.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
You will notice it sooner or later and when you do let's just hope it hasn't been over a year after your purchase.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asjdwf:
thanks a lot..... now I have to take this dang phone back a third time for another one. I used to want this phone sooooo bad but now... Now I'm just tired of the faults of it. I don't want an Iphone at all but what else is there...

My new AT&T Galaxy S II seems to have quite a few lines and spots when doing this test.

What should I do? Is it really "harmful"?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgymnop:
I don't see any lines I just see some darker spots that I don't see under normal use. This entire screen story reminds me of the "washed" out screen story of the HTC mytouch4g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
I have no lines, but it's really blotchy. Using Screen Filter at 10% shows blotches even on white backgrounds, but this is a pitch black environment. With even the slightest ambient or backlight it disappears. I chalk it up to the screen technology.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
you guys shouldn't be returning your phones for this simple unnoticeable flaw. Put it this way, I could tear this device apart and find a piece of plastic not molded correctly and say it was flawed. You simply cannot see this screen artifact unless you're truly hunting it down and it's not affecting your everyday real-world use is it? Stop whining and use the device... :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Well, it isn't exactly a luxury device in my opinion. You get what you pay for. If this was a Rolls Royce and it had a dent... yeah i'd be returning it. But it's a flipping phone dude!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I agree. If I have to "look at this photo, get in a dark room, enable this, enable this" to find an "issue", it isn't a problem. It'd suck to return a device over this and get one that had a malfunctioning GPS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harlenm:
Mine looks fine, but what I don't like is the blue tint that the screen turns when looking at it at an angle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I agree a $200 phone should be perfect, but also echo the sentiment that if you don't notice the problem on everyday use, and it seems to be a issue that affects the majority of devices currently available (BTW, I also see spots, a line and the lighter triangle), it seems like a lot of work to keep exchanging it until the problem I cannot see under normal usage goes away. If they solve the problem it would make sense to swap in a few months.

Raise of hands: how many people had a Captivate? I think poor GPS performance is a bigger issue than a mark on the screen when I am in a dark room staring at a dark grey picture. Even when the GPS "worked" on the captivate it was slow to get a lock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgymnop:
If you go to the t-mobile GS2 forum they have the same "problem".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Are you insane?

Do you think I was randomly looking up all grey backgrounds on Google and came across this? No. I noticed the flaw under normal circumstances and then did what I could to make it as noticeable as possible.

I notice this all the time when I'm in a dark room and pull down the notifications box.

You can go roll your eyes and use your flawed phone all you want and pretend like its fine, I'm getting a new one. And if the next one has the same issue. Ill ask for another. And if they can't get me one without it then they can stick this phone up their ASS and ill use a razr until the prime comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Jesus listen to you people. Do we really live in a world where everyone is terrified of buying a brand new device because it may be defective? Does this in any way sound right to you?

This is ridiculous. Think about if you buy a brand new car and it wasn't right. How would you feel? This is the same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Do you know if they have amoled screens?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I'm not afraid in the least. I'm just speaking of probability. There's a chance, you could get something worse, which would cause you even more trouble.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Yes, but if your brand new car only had a minor defect when driving in reverse at exactly 23 miles per hour, and only when heading due east, would you go running back to the dealership? Especially if most others saw the same issue under the same very specific scerario.

Buying a brand new car that you plan on having for many years is different than a cell phone that most people will drop after 12-18 months.

This is not an accurate comparison at all!

I can see this flaw on a daily basis when watching videos in my room before bed. This would be more like a clicking sound that could be heard while driving with the headlights on everyday on the way home from work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justabrake:
First it's not a $200 phone and I have not done the test and i'm not sure if I want to know what the results would be but to swap these phones out would be ridiculous for something you don't see under normal conditions

I have a Samsung 32" LCD and it has blotches when going to advertising and vise versa it shows a late picture in between, When watching tv it's find and had it for about 4 years now so maybe it is what it is. I think if you had bad pixels that would be worst.

put your phone in Testing Mode: *#0*# in the dialer and see if you have bad pixels
