I've used apktool to remove the sync write permissions from whatsapp and so far it seems to be working ok; Still need to check it's effects on battery though.

If anybody wants to try this you can find instructions and tools here.

You'll need to make 2 versions of the apk:

The first version is unchanged but is needed so that the signatures match with the second version. You should uninstall the original version completely then install the first version so that the sync entry is created for whatsapp.

For the second version you need to edit the manifest file and remove the line that gives sync write permissions. This version needs to be installed over the top of the first so that the sync entry for whatsapp is already created. You can do this through adb with the command 'adb install -r yourwhatsapp.apk'.

WA sync causing problems with large number of contacts on GT-i9000

After much monitoring of my good old Galaxy S GT-I9000 on 2.3.6 XXJW4 and its countless freezes and auto reboots I realised the culprit seemed to be WhatsApp auto syncing address book to its servers.

I reached this conclusion after (i) freezing WhatsApp and seeing the problem disappear and (ii) not freezing WhatsApp but deleting full address book and the problem seemingly disappearing as well.

I 'only' have 2,700 contacts and I uploaded them onto the phone via Google Sync, importing the Outlook file into the Gmail account (and using it to deduplicate contacts etc).

I have tried both deleting the WhatsApp autosync account from the Account list on the phone and also manually disabling WA autosync but (i) the account will pop back up every time after some minutes, autosync enabled and all and (ii) autosync will turn itself back on automatically as well.

I have indeed disabled 'show hidden contacts' in WA settings to no avail (if purposefully enabling it, the Account and / or autosync seemed to come back instantly, together with the 'syncing' notification on the status bar).

I am simultaneously using Telegram and BBM as well as Facebook messaging and Twitter and it is only WhatsApp wreaking havoc with my phone.

I would be very interested to know if anyone else has experienced the same issue?

Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luminelx64:
I'm also experiencing the same problem. Auto sync always turns itself back on. I hate it when apps don't obey my command.

The main reason why I don't want autosync is because Android is powerless against so-called 'read only contacts' it can only offer to hide them instead of deleting them.

If I decide to delete a contact which happens to also be tied to whatsapp, Android can only hide the contact (and I don't want that).

I recently got to know an app called whatsapp+ but I don't know if it solves this problem.

After upgrading to ICS, i did a wipe at one point, and then, it wont connect to wifi at all.

So i flashed back to honecomb with pc odin, rooted, and use mobile odin to flashed ICS again.

Now it connects to wifi, but regularly dropping connection. To reconnect, i need to either toggle wifi on/off, or sometime even reboot.

Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: The wifi connection problem is parially solved by installing an app called wifi fixer. See post #53 on page 6.

I don't know if it is possible to flash only the modem using Odin.

With the Mobile Odin, you open the program, press "Modem" and search for the firmware (this way it will only flash the modem).

I have managed to solved my wifi issues by turning my router into just N mode instead of a b/g/n mixed mode. This solved all my wifi issues.

Another issue is if the neighbour use a mode on his router that messes up the wifi on the P6800.

You cannot control that from your side.

I can stop the wifi on any P6800 ics tablet by merely switching on a Huawei router, you do not have to be connected to this router.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faurash:

Honey comb does the work I wanted but it is bit slow and many times you have to wait for response from it.

That is certainly not there in ICS.That is where ICS scores some point else honey comb is ok.

I believe this problem has somehing to do with the CSC code your phone is on. An exampke would be, you tab is by default having an HK CSC and then flashed the Austrian Rom. On a phone there is a dialer code to change the CSC but this dialer code is not accessible on our tab.

My first 7.7 tab - Philippine CSC flashed with Austrian ICS Stock Rom, has random disconnwcts and sometimes trouble finding APs

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c4Lvin:
The WiFi issue with HK tab has to do with the firmware AND your router. I've tried many ROMS.

This is exactly what i did, i went straight from hc to ics with Kies (i waited until Hong Kong ics was released).

so the problem was an csc incompatibility from stock Hc to Ics (most of people who complain about wifi did the update with odin to Austria rom)

thanks for confirming my theory, i was afraid to post that i don't have problems with my Hong Kong tab updated to ics with Kies.

now we have a solution, back to stock honey comb and then flash to corresponding ics rom (same csc)

for those who want face unlock fonction, maybe they can flash stock Austria honeycomb and then the first Austrian ics then the latest Austrian ics, some one try and confirm?
