[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
The issue is still there with the latest whatsapp update (2.10.768).

Also the workaround doesnt work for me anymore (disabeling the contact sync) even with the sync turned off, whatsapp went syncing overnight with my screen off(?!) It didn't turned sync on, but it went in "full sync" wakelock anyway...

I send an email to the whatsapp developers. I think (and hope) more people did this already, if this issue won't be resolved i will remove whatsapp messenger. This issue is just damn irritating and very bad for battery life (short and long term).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bso44:
I'm experiencing this as well. I disabled contacts sync but the problem is that it turns itself back on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
Also have to say that i'm on a LG Nexus 4. Maybe i'm wrong, but it looks like LG & Samsung (Nexus models) phones on Android 4.2.2 are the only ones with this issue. In the Whatsapp messenger comments at google play this problem/bug is not mentioned either.

Don't know if you already found this out, but trowing it into the open anyways. Using 4.2.2 for only two weeks now, coming of 2.3.5.

Today i found out that there is another (hidden) "sync" option to be found via the google agenda/calender. Go to settings -> choose your google/gmail account -> Accounts and synchronisation. there is another option listed above the accounts i could't find earlier "Appdata/information aut.." (i think that stands for "Automatically synchronise app data").

Turning this off will mean

none

of your accounts will sync automatically anymore. I will check if this (temporarly) works overnight and report on that.

I'm thinking charging the device enables the bug. I'm thinking this because i looked at my phone over the rest of the day (wakelock detector) and the issue didn't occur.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bso44:
Not true. I'm experiencing this issue on my S3 with a TouchWiz 4.1.2 ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guido83:
I have the same problem now on my HTC One running Android 4.2.2 and the current whatsapp+ version (Base Whatsapp 2.10.750)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
Good news from my side.

With the app sync unticked via the google calendar the problem did not occur overnight after charging.

This temp fix looks like it's working for now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guido83:
where did you find whatsapp in google calandar? can you explain that a little? thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
Just follow the steps i explained.

You will see a list of all your accounts. Whatsapp should be in that list. On the top of that list untick the app sync.

Note that my way works on a LG Nexus 4, you use a HTC. This has a layer over android that may have a different way to change settings.

Just look for your "auto sync" settings and put that off in general. This workaround seems to work for me.

EDIT: Unhappy to report that the problem came back right after charging my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NODE-B_UMTS:
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and port only my testimony about the problem.

I have an original notes 2, my girlfriend an original i9001, both we find the problem.

I think just because we speak, but check the wakelock, can not you see, on my notes 2 consumption is almost identical is when the bug occurs, and when does not occur, but there is some slight difference if you do not really case you do not notice.

sorry for my English but I use google translator

Hah, weird.

I froze and defrosted whatsapp 2 days ago and with me the problem stays away too... for now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Streetking21:
I have the same problem, about every fourth or fifth day. I have a S4 with Android 4.2.2 and contacted Whatsapp support. Waiting for the analysis of the log I send them. I recommend to contact them via the build in contact function so they receive the log and all device related information automatically.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
I did so too a few days ago. Haven't heard from them jet.

There is

no

new download.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
Play Store version is 2.10.222

Whastapp.com version is 2.11.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
You're right guys, sorry.

I visited the download page with my phone and got redirected to the play store.

Had to download the .apk to the pc and then to the phone.

Thanks for the heads up!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bso44:
If I download the apk from the Whatsapp site and install it, will it just overwrite the current version I have? Or should I uninstall the current version first?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotnikz:
Please uninstall the old version first.

I just updated the app. This also worked. No uninstall needed here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifthelement:
I can confirm the new version resolves the issue. no more pesky wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Streetking21:
I got an answer from Whatsapp. They say this issue is known and they are working on it but the text lokked a bit like a preset.

Latest version doawnloaded from the homepage solved the big wakelock but I got a lot of wakelocks from whatsapp. About 10 minutes (and a count of around 130) during 1,5 days. Again "fullsync" and without any changes in my contact database.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
Simple question, but do you use "auto sync" there can also be the issue.

I downloaded the update and don't use auto sync. Issue is resolved with me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutjeflut:
i still have the issue and i use version 2.11.23 and on the whatsapp site it shows this should already have solved the issue...

betterbatterystats shows a fullsync time of 33 minutes last night which used 13% battery!

the fun thing is this occurs at fixed times it happens at exactly 4 am when it happens.

this is also the time it shows it did a full backup of my whatsapp.

i have all sync options disables not just whatsapp but the entire sync option is disaled on my phone.

anynone else still has this issue or has anyone found another fix.

im getting really tired of charging my battery only to have whastsapp drain it again.

i have a LG 4x HD btw but this seems device unrelated and a pure whatsapp issue so posting hre doesnt seem to be a issue to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
If you did a backup, your phone is kept awake for that time so that's normal.

Personally i find that 33 minutes is not like the "full sync" issue at all.

That issue went on all night and could only be stopped manually.

Nobody who posted here has come back, so I assume the issue has been fixed for all of us.

Send from my Nexus 4
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutjeflut:
i didnt do a backup whatsapp did.

and personaly 13% battery drain over 33 minutes isnt acceptable to me. my screen on time is arround 4 hours i cant afford to miss 13% for something noone ever needs.

and i know with older versions it took 4 hours + and about 25% but still this is not ok nore acceptable.

maby we should all message the whatsapp dev team and make them give us a option to disable syncing/the backup alltogether and allow us do it manualy.

backing up less then 4 full pages of text and at most 10 mb of images should never ever take more then 33 seconds on a quad 1,5 ghz A9 core let alone 33 minutes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garret1976:
I have the same issue with Galaxy S4 so it isn't completely solved.

Use whatsapp version 2.11.23. Turning off wifi at night does the trick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renecek:
Today I found same problem. Don't know why..

WA 2.11.23 [latest on PlayStore]
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutjeflut:
wel i live mainly at niight and sleep in the morning so its not a solution for me hehe.

the only solution is a option to disable full sync completely as i do not need it.

i dont care if i lose pics or conversations after a phone crash or whatever i read it directly and dont need to look back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Streetking21:
Even if it is at the top of your partial wakelocks, your fullsync values are nothing to worry about. The wakelock issue mentioned here is more about hours than minutes, e.g. 4h of wakelocks in an 8 hour total uptime time span.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutjeflut:
sorry but up to 15% battery loss IS something to worry about its reduculous that backing up 2 pages of text takes 15% battery and sometimes over 20 minutes while its less then 50KB and should be backupped in less then a second with app delays included it is like 15 sec at most.

something is still verry wrong with whatsapp full sync and it needs to be adressed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Streetking21:
What made you think that my comment referred to your specific situation?

Besides, I currently use 2.11.79, no problems anymore with Whatsapp regarding wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutjeflut:
i didnt you replied to someone else who said to have the same issue tho.

and that you dont have the issue doesnt meen its not there lots still report issues infact every device i tested past month still has this issue atleast twice a week.

and this is samsung, asus, lg, HTC and sony devices on 4.03 , 4.1.2 and even 4.2 so its not android or brand specivic either its pure whatsapp that causes this.

and you must agree that even 5% drain is unacceptable? i havent bin able to veruvy how much data the fullsync uses but thats my next step as i want to see if the amount if data exceeds that what we can expect from a text backup.

[HTC Sensation] CGCR:
Okay, here is everything I did.

I came from Android Revolution HD 4.1.13 to Android Revolution HD 6.4.0

Not my first time doing ADB and what not but here's what I did.

1. I updated my HTC Drivers with HTCDriver 3.0.0.013_x64

2. I completed SuperCID "11111111" (Eight 1's) everything came out good, my phone was recognized and all.

3. I download Firmware from "3.32.401.3 & 3.32.401.103 RUU". Placed the firmware in the root of my SD Card.

4. I downloaded Android Revolution HD 6.4.0 and placed that in my SD Card.

5. I took off fastboot, rebooted my phone and I updated my phone to the new firmware with no shown errors.

6. After I updated my firmware my phone just keeps rebooting in a never ending cycle.

7. I removed my SD Card, put it in another device and deleted "PG58IMG" thinking that would solve the issue.

8. After I deleted PG58IMG it allowed my to enter recovery so I did. I erased and formatted everything. Then I Super Wiped and then I installed the ROM with no errors.

9. I rebooted my phone and it just keeps looping...

Help, please!
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
I did the same thing from step 3. Didn't have a problem booting. If you did a back up of 4.1.13, it's not going to boot up with new firmware. Maybe download again or reflash or format sd card?
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Reboot at 6 is caused by attempting to boot old rom with new fw.

At 9, do you mean you flashed the new rom or restored backup?

[HTC Sensation] sinfulgray:
After you flashed the new firmware did you remove the firmware file and reboot into recovery and install the proper ROM for the new firmware?

After firmware upgrade you should imediately flash the rom that goes with that firmware.
[HTC Sensation] CGCR:
Yes, I flashed a new ROM. Not a restored backup.

After I flashed PG58IMG it just kept rebooting. I have not been able to enter my phone and delete it myself, I can only enter Recovery & Bootloader.. I had to remove my SD card, put it in another device and the delete PG58IMG through that device.

cuz this name make me afraid to try it :D
[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
jeah you know CHUCK NORRIS has a Website, its called the Internet

P.S. hei1125 thanks, was a lot of work and already working on a better Defy Version which will support external language files. I see you making also great progress with your AROMA capabilities. This tool is so great, everybody should have it. I will try you Rom tonight, only to look how stable CM9 right now is, because still last Version I tried ( think was 1.1 HD Plus ) was ok, but so many functions missing and battery was not good. Anyway I think ICS isn't much better than GB is. Some better Design here and there, but telle me one BIG Difference which pops out. Taskmanager is nice, but taks to long and why to kill Apps from it, there is enough Ram. THE ONLY think that makes ICS desirable is CHROME, nothing else, and still it is crashing in Kang.
[LG Optimus 2x] royskeyz:
Downloading @ very slow speed :), google translate is our friend dont worry bout that.
[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
so strange, iam here in the Neterhlands and full speed
[LG Optimus 2x] royskeyz:
My ISP's fault mate. How's batt in this rom? Cant wait to try.:):):)
[LG Optimus 2x] hei1125:
ICS battery consumption is much lower if you find the best BB and Ril combination. The biggest disadvantage is that no hardware decoding of videos.
[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
battery for me with ETaNa 48 LOCDS is AWESOME, best ever had, but you have to see the WARNING,,, because Battery Monitor shows a crazy course, sometimes you battery goes up, even it is not loaded at this time. Summarise it, if you can live with a quite strange battery display you will have the best life ever

Don’t get me wrong, ICS is cool. But lets summarize it

Design = yeah of course ICS looks better. Contact App looks better, Phone App also, Lockscreen is cool, Settings is now structured, but for me even worst, Camera is pretty simple, Calendar is my favourite design, Gtalk is really cool and Gmail, and all other Apps stayed pretty the same.

BUT you can get the look of ICS with CM7 Themes, I think ExDialer is the best looking Dialer and Contact App, Lockscreen is available for other Roms too, and the other Apps are quite ok.

Speed = you can say what you want but a CM7 with some ETaNa or Iron Kernel are way faster than CM9.

Battery = tried it and it is ok but CM7 with a tweaked Kernel gets to nearly 2 days with good use, even Stock is not so good.

Features = lets face the great advantages of ICS’s new features

-> Faceunlock = wow who uses this stuff, it doesn’t work in a dark night, is easy to cheat on

-> Camera Landscape = something I think every Device has build in his standard Kamera App, doesn’t matter if LG, HTC, Samsung and as LG Camera is ported to CM7 and works fine there is no need for this Camera App

-> Voice Recognition = normal Voice Search works, but not the good one with Voice Instructions

-> Launcher/Folder = ok it is a good Launcher and hey we can now create folders, but this is something every GoLauncher, QQLauncher, LauncherPro has in it since months. Also they have themes and more features than build in launcher.

-> Lockscreen/Call Screen = this has to be recognised as a really cool design. Lockscreen is also available in CM7 but Call Screen looks really nice.

-> Notification = SAME SAME, swipe also works in CM7

- > Keyboard = it is way better than the old one, still not as good as Swipe, Smart Keyboard or my favourite Swift

-> Multitasking Manager = this one is also way better than in CM7, but still who uses this stuff. I am faster when I click the Home Button and press on my favourite App, as scrolling through all the Apps in the list. And who kills Apps, we have enough Ram and speed is really good, no need to kill Apps.

-> Browser = is OK, but CHROME is sooooo much better,, the only thing for me ICS is good

Finally;;; except the Design and Chrome there are no real advantages
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
i personally really like all the ICS apps much more than gingerbread ones, especially the gallery and its editing features and the stock ics browser. i like it more than opera mobile tbh.

and yea..design is quite important for a lot of people :)
[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
of course,, but speed and battery consumption for some others :) of course ICS is AWESOME, but for me not ready jet
[LG Optimus 2x] mipr:
Just a quick question: your ROM is CM7 based - do I need to wipe when coming from CM7 Kang (Temasek #69 to be precise)?
[LG Optimus 2x] jacobmllr95:
The Rom is based on the FINAL KANG of temasek so it's normally possible to use non-wipe but the rom contains a lot of extra stuff and it´s better to use fullwipe the first time you flash it but you are also able to flash it as non-wipe.

First up, it didn't ask me to setup a Google account at 1st or 2nd boot. Is it normal? I hope I won't encounter bugs 'coz it skipped that part. I'm used to being asked when coming from a full wipe from other ROMs to avoid Home button bugs.

(Or does Chuck Norris set it up for you. :p)

Sry if someone has asked this question before but is there a bug in the battery consumption display because it says my display would only use 9% of the hole battery I think that's not realistic! That should be about 80% and on top of the list because the display uses much battery!

Black screen of death I'm guessing. Where the phone locks on black screen and you have to pull the battery.

ok, I thought BOSD is a feature of LG, never ever LG

anyway, uploaded the Etana Kernels. I know they have been in Update ME, but the download was deleted because I packed the zips wrong. NOW everything is up and right. Personally using right not Etana DS OC 64MB

;)

seriously? Have a Optimus Black and never had a BSOD
[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
so 1000 DOWNLOADS and you are the only one that get stucked at bootlogo, so maybe something wrong in AROMA,,, don't think so ;) sorry haha

maybe the ZIP is corruped you downloaded, this happens sometime, just check MD5 afterwards. Flashed nearly every Rom available for LG since 1,5 years and got once stucked in LOGO and hat to flash original Firmware, but was my own fault because forgot something in my updater-script
[LG Optimus 2x] davibs:
MD5 correct..

Redownloaded 3 times, nothing.

Also the 1.3 isn't working.

If i flash cyano it works.

Tried also to install on cyano but nothing, stuck at lg logo.

Logcat just say :

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
[LG Optimus 2x] reaper7881:
im am also stuck at the lg logo like i said 2 pages ago

whats wrong with my phone
[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
than something wrong with your normal Firmware or CWM, never had such problems and I installed it around 300 times.
[LG Optimus 2x] davibs:
But it's strange that the normal cyano is booting fine..
