Hi, people!

I saw this post by cedricl on the Tablet S forum and worked for me. Maybe anyone of you must be trying to do the same, so I've decided to share this solution for you :)

How to install Phone-only apps (Like WhatsApp or Viber) on a WIFI-only Tablet?

- root your phone

- install whatsapp on your phone

- install TitaniumBackup on your phone

- with TitaniumBackup make a backup of whatsapp

- open file manager on your phone and look for TitaniumBackup folder

- take the 3 files with the whatsapp name in them and move these to your tablet s

- root your tablet

- install TitaniumBackup on your tablet

- open TitaniumBackup on your tablet

- in file manager go to TitaniumBackup folder

- move the 3 whatsapp files taken from the phone and place them in the TB folder

- open TitaniumBackup and "restore" your whatsapp*

*OBS.: First you must restore the app only, so it'll be installed on the system. Then you must restore the DATA. The data is the most important thing, because it'll reconfigure your WhatsApp the same way that it is on the phone. If you restore everything together, it'll not work.

Easier steps(the phone must be rooted):

-install whatsapp on phone.

-go to /data/app and copy the apk with whatsapp icon and transfer it to the tab.

- Install it.

Why not whatsapp for tablets?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] veames:
Whatsapp uses a telephone number as userid/login credentials. Unfortunate. You will need to create an account using a phone first for it to work.

Hello, I have an HTC Flyer and what works for me when it comes to installing 'non-tablet' apps like whatsapp I simply search the apk of the application using Google and just run the apk file. Hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jakieahmed13:
Unfortunately you cant as Whatsapp requires unique ID(phone no) to send message back and forth to

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ActionBastardDV:
by installing the apk on the tab, will that log me out of whatsapp on my phone? or can I use both simultaneously, ie - use whatsapp while on the bus on my way home from work, then get home and use my tab to continue the conversation?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Pirkule:
It will log you out, it tells you that one phone number can be used only in one app. I had to use my work phones number on tablet. If there is another workaround, I would like to know it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] fredamsouza:
you should make an backup of WhatsApp on your Android Smartphone. It'll generate 3 files on your phone's sdcard. Get'em and copy to your tablet's sdcard. Then do these steps.

Everything is explained on my first post.

PS.: Some are saying that it'll stop it from working on the other device. Maybe you are right. But when I made this post I could use freely in both device's at the same time. The only issue was that when I was chatting over the tablet, for example, the phone wasn't receiving any messages.

i've installed whatsapp on my ly-f1 1G ram

How to run Whatsapp on WiFi Android tablet - No root required

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zigackly:
once working, could someone clarify that when a message comes in, does it come to both devices or do they become independent accounts ?

Also, any niggles or hiccups using it on the tablet ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rocketero:
when you do the backup with T.B in your phone, the files are located in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder.

The problem for people like me who don't use cellphones to first install this app, is that one can install it on the tablet by sideload ing it but once one intent to run it, it comes saying: This app is NOT for tablets. So we can not do much about it.

If anyone can prove the contrary please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] :
It worked fine for me but you can't use it on both the phone and the tablet on the same number so i ended up deleting it anyways :(

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] NLBeev:
Whatsapp problems when installing on a tablet with Wifi only.

a. Market does not show Whatsapp for tablets

b. Messages: not available for tabs; version to old; connection not available

c. Whatsapp wants to verify a cellphone (cell phone number needed; code sent by sms or phone call.

Needed:

Some patience.

A cellphone number and an active cellphone.​

On the internal memory or sdcard of the tablet:

A file manager like ES Explorer.

A copy of the directory 'Whatsapp' from another tablet or smartphone with some recent chat data (messages).

A copy of whatsapp.apk.​

a. Software on the tablet

Appguard; install from the market.

A file manager like ES Explorer; install from the market.

Install WA.​

b. To avoid WA messages:

....not available for tabs:

Install WA first and do not start the app. Use Appguard to secure whatsapp and disable 'read phone state and identify'
​

....version to old; conncection not available:

Whatsapp is checking things; you need to uninstall Whatsapp and power off/restart the tablet.

This is needed to make sure that previous data and cache are cleared.​

c. Verifying the phone number.

Whatsapp wants to verify the given cellphone number; you need the number from an active cellphone.

Be sure the phone is connected to a network; make a call first.

Whatsapp will verify the cellphone number and sends a code by SMS or voice call.​

There are 3 possibilities:

1. WA discovers a directory " Whatsapp " on the sdcard and asks if you want to use the backup messages.

(When answered with YES it is possible that WA continues to install).

2. WA is asking for a code; you will receive the code on the cellphone by SMS or voice call.

3. Verification failed. You may press the button ' Call me ', and wait for a computer voice telling you the code.​

When the verification process fails. You can try it again after a while. But WA needs to be uninstalled and the tablet must be restarted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jashy67:
Thx for the clear instructions, will follow it step by step and hope will manage to finaly run it. I was already aware about partt of your explinations but some steps was missing, so thanks for the complete post.

Got only one question, is it possible to run whatsapp using same cellphone number on both tabs and phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] NLBeev:
Using Whatsapp with the same cellphone number on smartphone and tablet is a wish or many users. But WA checks the connection and will allow only one connection for a known number.

When you disable WA on the smartphone you may use WA on the tablet and vice versa.

But WA is always running in the background, so you have to stop the background service too. Before using a 2nd device.

When WA detects a 2nd connection/device it will ask a reverify.

On the smartphone this can be done in a minute, but on the tablet it is more time consuming. You known that now.

For that reason I am using a different cellphone number on my tablet (cheap prepaid simcard).

Maybe there are technical problems for WA. But Skype accepts installing on more devices. So 1-connection maybe a policy of WA. In that case we have only to wait for an alternative application.

The more users with tablets, the sooner there will be an alternative for WA.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jashy67:
Thx for your reply , not realy surprised about the answer and just wanted a confirmation. Will have to use my girlfriend's number then which wont be a big deal for her since she even don't know what WA is :p.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Lancered:
This is perfect! I've had this tablet since day one and I've been wanting WA on it since as I hardly even use my phone....yeay!

People posting the WA.apk....that does not work on WiFi only tablets.

For one who keep the new tablet unrooted, I found this way worked on my tablet Acer Iconia B1.

Basically you need a working whatsapp on your phone then just need to copy the appdata from phone to your tablet.

Noted this working only with ICS phone since you need to run "adb backup" command.

First we need to pull whatsapp data from phone

- Connect your ics phone to pc, make sure usb debugging is enabled.

- From cmd run this command "adb backup -f whatsapp.ab -noapk com.whatsapp", your ics phone will prompt "Full backup" and asking to encrypt it with password. Lets just click "Backup my data".

- When it succeed it will pull whatsapp data then save it to file "whatsapp.ab" on your pc

- Exporting data is done lets move with your tablet

Second install whatsapp, import the data to your tablet

- Download whatsapp apk file from the website

- Open WhatsApp.apk you just downloaded, when its done do not open it

- Lets import WhatsApp data to your tablet. From cmd run this command "adb restore whatsapp.ab", again your tablet will prompt "Full Restore" and asking the password. Click "Restore my data".

- Done

Hope thats help :)

Hey guys, don't need all of this.

I just installed the apk file from Google on my Galaxy Tab 7 plus, added my phone number and put the code on the tablet.

Tried on several devices and all works!

And don't need to root!

Now I'm using on my old nokia c3 with broken gsm slot. Works fine on wifi. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] droid_noobie:
How did you install the apk file? Does your Galaxy Tab 7 have a SIM card slot?

I have a WIFI only Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet. I am unable to install whatsApp from the Google Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ederstk:
Yes, on Play Store you cannot download, but updates are come from here.

Search on Google for the original apk (not modded), install, register with your cellphone number and wait a message with code, put on app e that's all. If a original apk, the Play Store recognize and update in normal way...

Now, I installed on Galaxy Note 10.1 in the same way. Remember to enable Unknown Sources on Settings!

Any questions, please ask and I try to help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gowdham1991:
yes

yes you need to be rooted

Not trying to say anything against you man, but a screen shot doesn't prove much, since its pretty easy to switch around the WiFi and Data Signal icons by decompiling the SystemUI APK.

Perhaps a picture of a SIM Card slot would be more appropriate?

Hey all! Im new to xda-developers :) I decided to post here because I honestly got alot of help from here already. So anyway, here goes....I used ODIN to flash a new firmware onto my GS2(i9100) and all went well..got the green "PASS" box and whatnot.

Shortly after the phone rebooted but here is where my problem starts. The phone is stuck on the "Glowing S" screen (Picture of a large S animating/changin colours and Samsung Galaxy SII written at the bottom)

It has been sitting here for nearly an hour now. I have tried pressing and holding the power button and battery pulls but to no avail.

I can enter ODIN mode (vol - , HOME, POWER) but I cannot get into recovery. Everytime i press (VOL+,HOME,POWER) the green android robot just sits there for maybe 5 secs and then the phone reboots and gets stuck AGAIN >_< :(

I don't know what to do :( Its ok if i need to wipe my data etc bcuz i got backups :)

My concern is getting my phone in working order again and ASAP because I need my phone for my work :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
If you can get into download mode just re flash the ROM again, the same thing happened to me and this fixed it :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerjr582:

I reflashed a million times :( (ok 7 times really) but same thing :(

i reallly REALLY dont want to hear my phone is bricked :/ if i cant sort it out i would carry it in to the local store but they gave me an estimated time of 3 weeks because the owner would be out of town :( :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Probably just needs a factory reset.

Next time list the firmware(s).Thats more important than an owners holiday arrangements.

My phone is stuck after the Samsung galaxy S2 screen. I took it to the service center but no luck.

Any idea on how I can go about fixing it ?

My girlfriend comes to me and says her phone isn't working after she attempted to flash a new ROM. The phone is stuck on boot loader screen. So I turn off the phone and restart in recovery mode CWM. When I tried to restore and restore from internal sdcard I got Couldn't open directory. No files found. Next I attempted to install zip from sdcard and internal sdcard I got No files found. Could someone please help me out and suggest what I might do in order to help me get her phone up and running again?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Sounds like the files were not placed on the internal SD card for flashing and that a backup wasnt made. You will have to download the latest version of Kies Software from Samsung. There select Tools>Firmware upgrade and Initiation. Input the required information as it is found on the back of the device under the battery. If it shows all caps, use all caps. It is case sensitive.

This will revert the phone to stock with ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] funsack:
Thanks! I will definitely give that a try and let you know how it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Try to format/reformat the current partitions. It sounds like the phone lost power or rebooted mid flash.

Using Kies Software got the job done! Thanks!

Try to determine if its condensation. I would recommend you place your phone in a ziploc bag overnight with DRY UNcooked instant rice and see if it goes away

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKeeperOfPie:
It's not a nexus. He's using the nexus to take a picture of the another phone to make his point.

Anyways, I'm almost certain this is a software issue/glitch. I used to have this error on a rom I flashed awhile back. It would focus when I tapped the image, but when I hit the shutter button, it would unfocus before capturing the image. It may be a problem with the camera app itself. I don't know if you can reinstall it without root, but if you can, that'd be my first bet. If that doesn't work, I don't know then. Sorry.

I'm looking for a dock that can charge or sync when needed to. HDMI dock doesn't have headphone jack so that a drawback.

Which dock would u recommend and what are the pro and con of each??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
The HDMI dock is used for connecting your phone to an HDMI display. It connects to your phone via the micro-usb port.

The pogo dock is used for sending just audio out of your device to another. It connects to your phone via the pogo pins on the side of your phone, so it's far easier to just slide your phone quickly in to the dock to charge.

Both docks are capable of charging.

Neither are capable of passing the USB data signal through to the phone.

Try a solution from My Android Solutions

Use only ROM and solution for your model

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....

(Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.)
