[Android Apps and Games] Quilombo:
Have been using this app for the past few months and my feelings are so so about it. I'm very ready to uninstall it from my phone for one specific reason. Automatically adding contacts without approvals. I understand it's a convenience but dont take the Google approach. You should always ask for permission before allowing everyone to chat with you. I have vague contacts in my address book for other reasons, I do not particularly care to talk to them or have them in my friends list on IM.

My particular example is with my ex-gf. Yes, she was still in my address book but I did not want to chat with her on whatsapp. After being forced to "block" her, she sent a series of emails asking "why did you block me?" All this is entirely avoidable. Btw, we have mutual contacts so she knows I'm still using this service. Just my two cents

[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
finally dug out one very very small changes in the latest version:

the notification string when there are unread messages from multiple contacts has been updated:

old: %1$1$s from %2$2$d contacts.

new: %1$1$s from %2$2$d conversations

still no sign of new notification style, or GPU acceleration
[Android Apps and Games] bunnahabhain:
GPU Acceleration? Would that make whatsapp smoother e.g. the scrolling? It is really annoying how slow whatsapp feels :(
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
definitely, you could try how GPU acceleration benefits by checking the "Force GPU acceleration" box in Settings \ Developer options

(remember to restart whatsapp for the change to take effect)

a MUCH MUCH smooth scrolling... and I wonder what is keeping them...
[Android Apps and Games] bunnahabhain:
OMG what a difference! Thanks a ton for that information! Do other apps take benefit of that force of 2D rendering?

What is the downside? Stability issues?
[Android Apps and Games] NuK3DoOM:
I have the same issue. Any clues?
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Some of the drawing will be disabled, according to the android developer site

But I cannot notice any missing animation after force enabling GPU acceleration.

Yes, usually force enabling GPU acceleration will give a boost in terms of scrolling responsiveness, however some may crash/malfunction (Androidify is one of the example)

Heard it can be fixed by upgrading from a older version...

try finding a older apk in this thread, install it then update it to the latest version, hope it helps

Hey guys,

I have a short question/issue: When my phone (Nexus 4) is not in silent mode (vibration only) I won't get any vibration on whatsapp notification, although it's activated in the settings. Is there a way to get my phone to vibrate when I receive a message although I'm not on silent?

Thanks,

Everytime i'm trying to attach a picture (also trying to view a picture) in a Whatsapp chat it keeps saying "Your phone is low on memory, please try it again. If you keep seeing this message, please restart your phone"

It's happening now when i've 50 MB of free internal memory.

I think it's related with the picture's quality. Is it?

Any help?

I'm having the exact same issue, except I have a Galaxy Nexus and it doesn't work even if I change the vibrate length. WhatsApp refuses to vibrate unless it's in silent/vibrate only mode. I am running Android 4.2.1. I have tested this with Stock, CM10, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid. This started happening since Android 4.x. Anyone else having this issue?

There is a way to temporarily fix it: Using LightFlow go to Volumes then Settings (top right icon) and change "Vibrate only when silent" to "Vibrate on" and WhatsApp will vibrate again when in Ringer mode. But I have to do this _everytime_ I reboot the phone. At first it sounded like an Android or ROM issue, but the issue only occurs with WhatsApp, regardless of ROM.

BUMP Updated to Version 2.9.1549! Have fun!
[Android Apps and Games] LeoPosas:
BUMP and Second update of the day!
[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Devs, can you guys look into a specific issue regarding notifications and vibrations?

In Android 4.2.1, it seems the vibration features are different now. It seems that Whatsapp is the only app that fails to vibrate when sound mode is turned on. In CM10.1, there's an option to have sound + vibrate. Every other app will vibrate, except Whatsapp.

Now how do I know it's just Whatsapp? Because in LightFlow, there's a vibration menu option where you can look at the phone's vibration states. It seems to show some legacy 2.x vibration states like for notifications there's a "Vibrate always" "Only when silent" and "Never."

CM 10.1's sound + vibrate seems to override that and every app seems to tie in perfectly. However, Whatsapp seems to respond only when the Notification settings is on "Always vibrate." However, we know that stock Android does not have a vibration setting anymore, and unless you use some 3rd party app like Lightflow to control vibration states, Whatsapp will refuse to vibrate when your sound is on.

Could you guys look into this? Sorry for not being too technical, but from my observations it seems to be something to do with Whatsapp using the old vibration APIs.

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

I want to say this is because Whatsapp ties into an old API for vibrations.

In CM 10.1, have you noticed that every other app will vibrate when your sound is on EVEN if in Lightflow it says "Vibrate only when silent." I suspect the setting in Lightflow is to accomodate older versions of Android. Remember in 2.x when we had the option to control vibration in the Sound menu? Not anymore. 4.2 seems to be different. However, apps like Gtalk, Gmail, IM+, GoSMS, etc will vibrate correctly in CyanogenMod 10.1 when sound is on. Whatsapp seems to be the only offender.
