Hi,

I just updated to Jelly Bean 4.2, everything is running fine but my WhatsApp.

It keeps on "Initializing" forever. If i wait til it's over, a message will appear:

Failure

Sorry, WhatsApp was unable to complete initialization. Please check that you are connected to the internet and try again.

Please reboot your phone if your connection problem persists

I've uninstalled, reinstalled via google play or downloading the apk from their website/clear data/force close, tried with wifi, 3g and can't get anything different.

I keep receiving messages/notifications but i can't get into the app.

Anyone going through the same issue?

*(i'm all stock, rooted and unlocked. Viber is working fin, but i don't think all this will make any difference)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoofoox:
Whatsapp had in the recent time a lot of problems. Wait some time and try again. You did everything that I would told you to do(like wipe app data, reinstall etc.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android_master93:
Myn is also not working :( same problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnoguti:
thanks for the reply, guys

It's working now after several tries...

I don't know if there's something to do with it, but while my whatsapp was on "initalizing", a received a phone call. When i hang up shortly after, WhatsApp was already at the contacts screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sergio PC:
Edit:

Installing and downloading the whatsapp.apk directly from whatsapp homepage seems to work.

Same, stuck for over 10 hours.

Fresh 4.2 Install.

Tried everything, most definite its whatsapp server problem.

There is a work around where you install an older version, try to sync and then update.

But you cant see the contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicasoft:
same here... is getting stuck on initializing.... I was able to sync the contacts but I'm not able to enter to the app.... I'm waiting for an update....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chdpiyush:
server issue

It's a server problem because m facing this issue on iPhone aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chdpiyush:
It's working well now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericee9:
Same here!: (
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marshalllaw:
Just did OTA for my Galaxy Nexus. Can Confirm its not working on 4.2 with GSM Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sergio PC:
4.2 Gnex here also, try downloading the apk in whatsapp Homepage, that's how it worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yook:
Thanks ! Worked for me too : I downloaded v2.8.7268 from Whatsapp website and initialization worked. I then updated from play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RushabhKidile:
i was having problem with cm7.1.5 so installed cm7.2...

on 1st start of whatsaap it gave me msg about having custom rom can create problem as it does not support whats app..

then also i proceeded n i was facing same problem.it was stuck on initializing.

then after lots of different tries it worked on one trick...

what i did was :

1.1st backup all my contacts(mobile).

2.then cleared data in contact storage in manage apps.

3.installed whatsapp 2.8 which was backup earlier

4.clicked "Agree and continue" then entered my mobile no. but,it told me that whatsapp new version must be installed.

5.i then upgraded whats app from play store.

6.After installation was complete i opened it and it was started from same step of application of entering mobile no.

7. i entered no. , restored data from old backup of whatssapp, all messages were restored.

now my Display Picture , Name got appeared.

8.clicked next, shortcut of whatsapp was created. in 1 sec it got initialized, n continue button got appeared.

9. now i was having messages but no contacts(whatsapp).

10. now i restored contacts(mobile) from softwere i was using. and now after opening whatsapp m having contacts.

It worked on my phone... try it... best of luck...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pavanjit:
Download Whatsapp apk from whatsapp.com/android/

Keep whatsapp preinstalled from play store. Install the apk and open. Here you go it works.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spidymotorola:
Try to resync your contact & see....

It works for me after I resyn my contact...;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
I'm loving my phone. The only thing I noticed is that if I squeeze the phone on the right side towards the upper end of the screen I can hear a little sound and can barely feel some movement where the rounded part meets the rear glass. Anyone else have this? I'm not used to any parts moving since always using iPhones for years now.....until I decided I had to get the LGOG.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Mine feels sturdy and I don't hear any noise. No moving parts.

You may want to get your phone exchanged. Or stop squeezing it so hard. :P
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
I agree. Mine just feels like one big smooth hunk of glass. No give to even remotely allow a creek.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gregk232:
I have the same thing going on with mine. I have also noticed that the phone wobbles a bit when face on a flat surface.

Minor inconvenience for such a great phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:
I never have even felt the actual surface of my phone. Factory plastic came off. Zagg went on with bumper case. I haven't really examined my phone like that

the best phone ever
[AT&T LG Optimus G] theMaDHakkeR:
Lol I got that problem too. Won't take it outta the house without a case and ishield.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] avus_m3:
It feels like a solid piece of glass with absolutely no flex or movement...how is a creek even possible?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] t-readyroc:
Noticed this as well, but only when pressing against a certain spot. Specifically, when holding the phone's edges & pressing directly in the center of the back of the phone. Also, it's sporadic, so I'm not worried about it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DaemonAshra:
My squeaky spot is in the upper left part of the phone. I notched it last month, but I think it had something to do with battery cover more than the phone itself. I funny think it'll cause any real issues do I'll keep ignoring it until the whole thing falls apart.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:
Don't squeeze your phone. Don't squeeze your phone. Repeat after me...

the best phone ever
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
i noticed a small squeak if i pinch the device front/back between the power button and the camera.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
You guys are like the phone torturers... stop that.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] combustion8:
I've squeezed it all over and it's solid.. same with the phone. :laugh:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] avus_m3:
Same here
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jamesc760:
Nothing creaks in mine, but if I shake it, theres a bit of rattling...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ferganer:
Feels solid. No creaks here, but rattling when shaken is definitely there. And the rattling comes from the physical buttons.

As I wrote in a different thread, my phone's build quality is superb except for the cheap feeling and somewhat loose physical buttons.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chachin:
mine too it wobbles dafuq
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
Mine rattles from the vol button. :(

It's not a big deal to me since I'll put a case on it eventually.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lyall29:
I actually woke my wife from her slumber last night handling my phone. The creaking is really getting loud. If I touch my phone anywhere near the power button, you would think something is going to break. I wish there was a way to fix it. Maybe a well placed drop of super glue would do it. I don't know, I'm too scared I would mess something up.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:
No creaks at all no rattles. I finally checked it out. You guys should have your phones replaced right away

the best phone ever
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
If you think it's an issue, call it in for repair/replacement. The only time I could hear it was when I specifically stated pinching my device looking for it...elsewise, it seems like a very solid piece of glass. General use never generates a sound.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
Same here. I think I'll keep it. I love this phone. Who would I even call? I bought this with no contact from an ATT store and the fourteen day return period is long gone. Can I add insurance?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Mines creaking too... I think I'll exchange it in a week or two.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] brunes:
It shouldn't be creaking at all, it has no removable parts. I would take it back to the store and exchange it right away.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
I'm already past the fourteen day return period, but I called in and added insurance. The phone is perfect except that so I'll keep it and the insurance is just in case it gets worse and opens up or something.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
My perfectly noise free phone just started this Creaking nonsense tonight..... And I'm ocd.. Looks like I'm going in for return number two.

Volume down seems to jiggle now too.

Not OK with me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xbutchx:
Does this sound familiar to "antennagate"
[AT&T LG Optimus G] truetotexas:
no creak at all on mine. but I do have the loose volume rocker cap rattle thing going. does't worry me though. Id rather have that than a squeaky/overly tight one like on my n4.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I can understand testing the durability of your phone, but why are people STILL squeezing their phones?

Has anyone seen those posts where people's sides crack/break? Anyone think it's because of squeezing your phone?

With that said, don't get upset when your phone breaks because you want to treat it like it's a Nokia from the early 1990's-2000's.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jordain:
My phone does it too in only one specific place. I do not abuse my phone, but it creaks if I hold it the wrong way.

Try this, hold your Optimus and run your finger along the back edge, behind the power button. Mine creaks the most right below the power button, probably the exact same place that the OP descripbed . I don't have to apply much pressure at all.

Once I get my case I probably won't be bothered by this at all.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsmizzle:
I've replaced mine twice already. The first one for excessive heat and the second for dead pixels. Bestbuy has a really good exchange policy though. Wasn't a problem at all. The volume rocker rattles. All three phones I had does this, it's normal. No creaking anywhere else though. I did notice the one with the dead pixels had a tiny warped spot on the plastic frame on the back lower corner. Right below the sim slot. But it's barely noticeable. I have until the 24th to keep replacing if necessary. If you bought your phone from bestbuy you have 30 days. Take advantage of it. Get it right cause you're gonna have it for 2 yrs. If not, at&t covers you for one yr on factory defects.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] truetotexas:
well i never noticed the creak before I started looking for it. :( now I cant unhear it...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jsmizzle:
Damn I hear it too! I just noticed it today as I was actually looking for it. Only if I push on the corner right behind the power button. I have to actually pinch the edge of the screen and the area behind the power button to hear it. Maybe I need to replace again but I have a feeling they all do this. Oh well..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gwarokk:
Mine does this as well, had not noticed it until today when I took off the case to clean out any debris inside. Same exact place...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jakeroxs:
Ha I didn't even notice the creaking until I found this thread xD damn you!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
My one X creaked and I could separate the glass from the frame. After I found that I quit pushing my phone to look for faults. :D

As soon as I got my LGOG I put it in its diztronic case.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] abraxo:
Mine did but it stopped
[AT&T LG Optimus G] AznSwag:
I also have this issue, thought I was the only one with this because I dropped my phone xD.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] saratv:
I don't think its a creak

I also thought there was a "creak" when squeezing the phone. Then I realized that it is not a creak, but my hand pressing the volume up/down buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mentu12:
Hello :)

I'm considering buying Galaxy Player 3.6 and I'm worried about Voodoo modification. Is this mod supporting this Galaxy Player?? I did not found 3.6 on supported list on Android Market but i heard its working on Wolfson sound chip and i heard its good :)

Thank you for your time :)
[HTC One X] Ashley568:
Is there anyway I could install Sim city from the play market loved the game on my ATRIX sad it doesn't work on my one x
[HTC One X] matt95:
if it is supported you can, if not you can't.... simple

Special Reminder To AT&T Users:

thanks to joe777g for the information
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rail205:
Sounds good. Will give it a try...thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:
No problem man.

I saw several AT&T users have been posting in my thread as of late over on the T-Mobile side, then I had a mod notify me that someone had posted it over here so I decided I should probably just open a thread over here to make it easier lol. Didn't realize there'd be any interest over on this side.

Hope everyone enjoys.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] msk:
I saw you post the att build.prop in the t-mo forum, i'm guessing that we need to copy it into this rom as well? any plans to bake that in as well as the apn? :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uhno:
the build prop file doesn't link to a file currently. Also please explain what to do with the build prop. I don't ever edit that but am on ATT and really want to try your rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
In the first few lines of build.prop, find the line with SGH-T999 and change it to SGH-I747

Below that change d2tmo to d2uc and below that change d2tmo to d2att

Save and reboot!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:
Not sure how I copy/pasted the wrong link...but I did :p

Here is the build.prop for AT&T. I've also edited the link the the 3rd post with the correct link. Thanks for pointing that out.

build.prop needs to be moved to /system/ with a root explorer type app. Permissions then need to be changed to rw--r--r:

**********Read Write Execute

Owner ****√******√

I downloaded this ROM a couple of days ago from the TMO thread, and I must say it its really fantastic! ... stable, clean & smooth just perfect... Wallet works on it (just tried it today).

This is exactly what I was looking for..

thanks a lot for this fantastic ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:

Can I switch the input mode in Messaging? And can I flash it on a Canadian model? E.g. Rogers, the I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgaf:
Is it recommended to flash an ATT modem with this ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] artjrv:
Is there a call recorder with this ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:
If you're talking about the keyboard, yes. Click the menu key then system settings and go to language and input.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:
It doesn't touch your modem, so, whatever you already have installed will stay.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:
Not yet. I'm having issues with apk tool at the moment and I didn't want to delay there release.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drwx:
confirmed that the vol rocker music controls do work in google music. they definitely don't work in pandora. they actually do something really weird in pandora. They stop pandora and go to the next track in google music. I think there is something lacking in this specific mod. I saw a verizon rom that is using the exact same mod (i diffed out the phonewindowmanager file). I'm going to try to find out if the controls work in pandora on that rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffreynew23:
I've never been able to get that app to work on my phone on any touchwiz rom

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrnovanova:
Hi guys. I love the rom. Except for one thing. When I open Facebook on any of my browsers it's stripped down to just the writing. No background no colors no boxes,no pictures just blue on white writing. As if I had one of those old flip phone at gprs or 1x speed. You know what I mean. Btw I tried describing it the best I can because putting a picture would display personal information. Otherwise I love the rom. I went back to an old backup of serenity 1.2 to make sure it was the Rom and not my provider. It's the rom. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drwx:
I may have found the problem. In phonewindowmanager$30.smali, the verizon rom has a couple of changes. That specific rom (jelly beans build 5) has both the modified and unmodified android.policy.jar files, so i was able to just diff the whole thing and find all of the changes. In that rom, there is the following change in the phonewindowmanager$30.smali.

.annotation system Ldalvik/annotation/EnclosingClass;

value = Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;

In this rom AND in the stock version of that android.policy.jar, the setting is..

.annotation system Ldalvik/annotation/EnclosingMethod;

value = Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->dismissKeyguardLw()V

.end annotation

I'm going to try just copying that file over, rebuilding android.policy.jar, and then sticking it on my phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peaster3:
Hey guys- I'm not new to flashing, but I've run into a problem I'm not sure how to fix. I came to this rom from Ariel. I did the standard wipes and formatted system. I followed the op for the apn settings.

For some reason I lost data connectivity altogether. I finally Odin'd back to stock and regained connectivity, rerooted the phone, and reflashed 7.1.1. I lost data connectivity again.

I like this rom so if anyone has any ideas to help me get data back, I would appreciated it. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drwx:
ok.. that didn't fix it.

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

i didn't use the op's directions for the apn. i just took screenshots of my apn that i used in ariel.

NAME = AT&T PTA

APN = PTA

MMSC = http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS Proxy = proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS port = 80

MCC = 310

MNC = 410

Auth Type = None

APN type = default,mms,supl,cbs

save it and select it. it will take a second to gain connectivity. I really wish you could just easily export and import these.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

fyi... if i disable google music, the vol rocker controls work in pandora.

At one point a few months ago, cm10 had the same issue. I'm not really sure what they did to resolve it.
