I've got some delayed message with whatsapp ..

I was talking with a friend yesterday night everything's fine, just put my phone to the charger, went to sleep, and this morning, i woke up at 11am (GMT+1) no notification.. But when i open the app to talk to someone at 12.. I just received 6 message at once and the message was sent at 10am ..

Data always on, i didn't reboot or even kill the app yesterday before sleeping, ..

I remember this problem has already occurred, sometime i got some delayed message but everytime i open the app every message appear .. So where's the problem ? The app ? My phone ?

I'm using Galaxy S2 Stock rom lastest from Kies.

How to have free service extension. Mine is expiring in 10 days time. Should I renew now?
[Android Apps and Games] detdett:

[Android Apps and Games] iJax:
I updated my whatsapp via the market yesterday and since then, now +/- 24 hours ago, whatsapp stopped working. As in .. I can see the contact list and the messages I've sent in the past 12 months, but I cannot set my status, I cannot change my picture, I cannot see any of my contacts last connect. In other words, it seems like the complete service was terminated.

I've contacted whatsapp several times now, since I use this for my business (hence I need it more than the average individual) and all WhatsApp tells me to do (had >>9<< emails about it up to now) is how to remove my account. Which I don't want.

I got mad a bit and asked them if they can't 'f***' read what I'm asking, and they sent me another email with details on how to remove my account.

Which, again, I don't want.

My company uses WhatsApp on daily base, to give support and to 'connect' to our clients overseas.

Is there ANYONE here on XDA that can help me ? I can't wait until monday to get support.

I'm expecting details from a new client, who's phone number a partner of us will send via whatsapp. Since it doesn't work, I can't send messages anymore and I can't receive any either.

To be clear: it does start up, it does show me my prev chats, but I can't set a new status, I can't change anything that needs the connection and far most I cannot see anyones new status since it somehow does not connect, after I updated it to the (via google play) newest version.

I'm a bit afraid of using the XDA version listed above, since I don't want to f-up my account.

Any help is appreciated. I need it to work.

I can't however re-reg a new account for my phone number, because we decided to completely cancel and block all incomming/outgoing SMS-service due the fact that we use Whatsapp.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] detdett:
Try reinstalling the app
[Android Apps and Games] iJax:
Did that, but the service is down. So it's not on my end.

I got very frustrated by the connection error, but now I know that approx 10 million people worldwide have no issue while over 100 million people worldwide dó have the same issue as I have.
[Android Apps and Games] TheF3nix:
I have the same issue man

Edit: its working now
[Android Apps and Games] texanaustinite:
It's been off and on here since early this morning. Tried everything I can think of on my side. Even did a full reset.

I''m guessing it's just a server issue. Have emailed to with no response yet.
[Android Apps and Games] iJax:
It works now again .. a bit. Some people I can't reach yet, some I can.

I am however, a bit angry about Wh/App for not notifying paying users about this issue.

Since it's free for most people and extremely cheap (8 euro) for business users, we would not be mad about a possible malfunction, but when it comes to the fact (as is now) that they do NOT notify anyone about this PROBLEM, we dó get mad.

So far so good .. it's quite solved now.

But I have sent an email to them to communicate better to their users.
[Android Apps and Games] texanaustinite:
Still not working here
[Android Apps and Games] LeoPosas:
Go to Settings > Help > Service status. And check if are evertything ok in your whatsapp.
[Android Apps and Games] texanaustinite:
Says it's working normally. Except it's not.
[Android Apps and Games] LeoPosas:
Try with another number...sorry, but maybe the service it's down for you or your place.
[Android Apps and Games] iJax:
restarting your phone could help. try it, i'd say. turn off your phone, leave it off for 'bout 30 sec, turn it back on and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] texanaustinite:
That's what I'm thinking.

That's doesn''t help. I thought it was a problem with my phone. I actually wiped everything and did a fresh Rom install.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
If your business depends on it, switch to Plan B. Skype chat, email, or plain old SMS (how long would it take you to reactivate SMS service?).

Switch back to WhatsApp when they've got things fixed again. Since the outage affects millions of WhatsAppers there's a good chance that some of your clients have the same problem that you have.

Any communication service fails once in a while. If you don't have a backup plan, now's the time to make one.

OMG what is wrong with WhatsApp Support?

I asked them when and if they will update their App to match Holo UI and Google Design Guideline or if it will take them a year to do this and gues what they respond...

I have to reboot my phone, and then the Problem will dissappear.

Yeah, exactly. :(

Is it me or do Whatsapp notifications defy CyanogenMod quiet hours?
[Android Apps and Games] jasrups:
Hey guys, I've never had an issue with WhatsApp but today it stopped working all of a sudden. I got a random notification saying that my version was out of date (and no longer functional) and that I had to download the update from the Play store.. However there was no update on Google Play..

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and when I try entering my phone number to have it verified it keeps saying: 'Unable to connect. Please check that you are connected to the Internet and try again'.. I've tried on WiFi, 3G, I've tried restarting my phone.. No luck, I keep getting that message.

I tried downloading the latest apk directly from this thread and from the WhatsApp website and it STILL gives me an error saying that it can't connect to the internet when I try to enter my number.. This is really frustrating, does anyone here hace any ideas?? My friend who has the same phone (Galaxy Nexus, stock like mine) on the same carier (Rogers) is having no issues with WhatsApp at all..

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] LeoPosas:
I've installed the last version and no problems so far, maybe it's your device, make a dalvik-cache and cache wipe, should help it.
[Android Apps and Games] jasrups:
My current phone is not rooted, it's completely stock and I don't have a custom recovery so I can't do the cache wipes
[Android Apps and Games] LeoPosas:
Clear app data > Uninstall > Delete Whatsapp Folder on SD CARD > Install again. Let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] jasrups:
No just tried that and it did't work.. Man, I really don't know what's going on here.. I appreciate your suggestions though, thanks. The only other thing I can think of is to maybe try verifying using another WiFi connection? I don't see how my device could just become incompatible all of a sudden.

Maybe I'll try emailing WhatsApp support, but I don't expect much help from them.

Ok this is embarrassing but I figured out what the issue was.. I had the date set to Dec 31/2012 since yesterday (for something else I was trying to do) and forgot to set the date back to Sept 14.. Today I guess WhatsApp thought it was January 1 / 2013 and it stopped working.. Changed the date back and everything is back to normal now
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
strangely, the page: http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

has rolled back to version 2.8.3325

I wonder what is going on...
[Android Apps and Games] travsraven:
I'd like to know also why it has rolled back to this version also and does this mean that for those who have installed 2.8.4443 that we should delete it and install 2.8.3325? I just wish that the guys at Whatsapp would on their downloads page mention what the updates are and what has been fixed. Or leave a message stating - for those who have installed version x please install version Y. It would make life a lot better than wondering if we should be using the version they have removed.

One thing I have noticed and if someone can tell me the answer to this it's appreciated. Why is it that the Iphone users of Whatsapp have a much better GUI and more options in their settings that the Android Users? I do understand that the GUI would never be exactly the same as Iphone's but it would be nice to have Androids version updated than it looking so basic, looking old and tired.

Another thing I have noticed is that since I have come on XDA - That Whatsapp has sent me messages saying Whatsapp needs to be updated. Yet when you go to the Play Google - they haven't even bothered to update their app? If it wasn't for me perusing here I wouldn't have known that you can get the upgraded app on Whatsapp's own site.

Surely now that some Android customers are at the stage in where they have been using this for well over a year and paying for their app on a yearly basis to use their product - You'd think that Whatsapp would get their finger out and start communicating more to their users and improve on the GUi - rather than rarely updating their own site blog or giving us a glimpse of what their aims in improving their product for Android users.

Maybe to some I may be asking a lot but - it's those small little things that can go a long way and improve the relationship between app maker and Android users.

[Android Apps and Games] planetf1:
Given the fact many people have multiple devices - phone, laptop, tablet it really needs multiple sign in, and arguably the direct association with phone number becomes somewhat flawed.

This is where google talk wins as messages get sent to all logged in locations

As far as the app goes I have it. It's well written and causes no battery impact unlike Skype and kik which are not written so well (wakelocks etc)

Glad that OP started this thread, hope others would start using it and use this thread to discuss more about the app

However, I would like to suggest to the OP to remove the official tag. People might come here hoping for official info/support from whatsapp team themselves.

you can try sideloading it, and when it asks for phone verification, just enter your number and input the code sent to your phone. However, whatsapp currently does not support multi device, it will tell you to uninstall whatsapp on your other devices

Is there any OFFICIAL way to submit a feature request?

There are 3 things that's bugging me right now

1.Proper GPU acceleration - it is so laggy to scroll in the chat view... force enabling GPU acceleration in Settings yields a MUCH smoother scrolling experience

2. Expand the emoji input - iOS added some new emojis, which Whatsapp has already wrapped them in their app (just unpack the .apk and you will see) The point is, will they ever let us android users to input these as well?

3. Holo UI - needless to explain, the current UI is half-android half-iOS... disgusting if you ask me..

[Android Apps and Games] cornelha:
I dont mean to be a buzzkill, yes i miss WhatsappPlus too, the holo experience and all that. But what you guys are mostly complaining about are trivial when you look at what you get here. A service which allows you to msg anyone in your contact list that has this application installed at a fraction of the cost of an sms. Not only that but the ridiculous service price that is charged, $1!!! Has anyone actually paid this using an android device? No. Go to the whatsapp site, send in your requests and hope for the best.

Ask someone who owns a blackberry to show you what it looks like on that device. The platform doesnt allow the rich user experience which we enjoy. Not only that, one certain OS versions they cant even use emoji.
[Android Apps and Games] naveediftikhar:

[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:

[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Well actually the new emoji is there inside the .apk

We have to wait till Whatsapp updates its app so we could enter and send those emoji...

or

you could always use emoji IME to input, like this:

[Android Apps and Games] qandrav:
excuse me but if I install that keyboard and I send you a message through whatsapp with a "image" that you don't have, are you able to visualize it?
[Android Apps and Games] travsraven:
The emoji that everyone is complaining about is actually working on Version 2.8.5097. I have just downloaded it and installed it and it's all there.

To the other posters - I have to agree that it's getting somewhat frustrating that when people email Whatsapp and get no reply. It makes no sense to vent about the lack of Holo and the lack of emoji or capabilities that the Iphone has because there is no one here to officially speak on behalf of Whatsapp.

I agree that a Holo version should be out - but it would be nicer if Whatsapp had an official forum for bugs and General etc etc to take time out and explain their grand plan or lack of a Holo version. If such a forum existed it would probably stop some of the people venting their spleen from here.

Believe me I am as impatient as you - but lets face it - Iphone version in Whatsapp plans comes first - android second. As for the post in regards to Blackberry - I'm glad I don't have the blackberry version - besides - it's awful and would you as a creator of an app want to be in their shoes no knowing whether to invest in Blackberry or whether it's going to go down the tubes.

Personally - me being me - If the Whatsapp people did listen and reply - I would go for the creation of a forum and then discuss - bugs - general or how to make the app itself better for the android version. Till then we will just have to be patient and wait.
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Like i say the emojis are packed inside the whatsapp apk already (you could try to extract the content from the apk using 7-zip and see yourself)

and basically the keyboard is not sending the emoji themselves, it is sending out the unicode mapping of the emoji only, so as long as Whatsapp has made the mapping to work correctly it would be ok.

And according to the feedbacks on some local mobile phone forum, it does the job well.
