The Bluestacks-Titanium-method.

On rooted devices there is an alternative.

Copy the directories:

sdcard/Whatsapp

data/data/com.whatsapp
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tikkesang:
Working solution :)

Hi, to cut the edge

Run your whatsapp for the first time using wifi and without sim card, put ur sim in a cell phone.

when u use whatsapp for the first, let it fails through sms , then click on CALL ME, they will call you on your sim which you inserted in a cell phone, take the code from your cell phone call and type it in your tablet and all done . you are good to go . no more need for sim card or any thing else . simply chat using wifi :)

just test it with latest version and its working perfect :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] faz7:
This Method works perfectly.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
Indeed, but why?

The directory data/data/com.Whatsapp is copied.

That can be done by hand when root access is possible.

Bluestacks error

When i try to install bluestacks its showing an error that it doesn't recognise my graphics card. Is there any other software rather than bluestacks?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bostanomer:
it's says whatsapp is too old update on the play store and suddenly closes
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rcbsandeep:
Will it work on tab 2 p3110 ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] pleasant:
Yes try the method i told few pages back
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rcbsandeep:
i could follow the method untill step 6 ! in 7th option when i open whatsapp via bluestack and press agree and continue ,its showing incorrect date and time (though its correct)...m not able to proceed further !

kindly point out where m i going wrong :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rcbsandeep:
not working on p3110 :|

any p3110 user ! kindly putforth the exact procedure
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] quizface:
You must have Bluestack rooted on your PC, then you can install the latest WatsUp with this guide

but, you still need

the step 6. Install STR AppGuard

- Start up open/run appguard.

- Select "Secure a new app"

- Select "Whatsapp"

- Appguard will take you through 3-steps:[*] Scan and secure application

[**] Uninstall existing application

[***] Install secured application

Once the process is completed, within Appguard, you'll need to change Whatsapp Permissions by removing the setting for "Phone calls - read phone status and identity"

and remember not to open whatsup before restoring the backup

Backup data

Hey dud can I get your titanium back up data to try that method?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Youssef Hossam:
Yea I tried that , the guy wasn't responsive . I then did what any normal person would do and looked for a backup on Google . Eventually I found one that belonged to a south american(and it worked). However that still wasn't enough for me , I created a whole new method from scratch that doesn't involve a rooted android phone.

This is that method :

Whatsapp too old, newest version doesn't work - help!

Hey there, I am new to this forum. :)

I tried the method of the OP, but it said the Whatsapp version was too old (yay for originality). So, I downloaded the newest version. Just to try. And yes, it nearly worked until step 7. On my tablet it still said that Whatsapp isn't for tablets. I can use Whatsapp in Bluestacks now without problems. But I want it on my tablet, working :( Can anybody help me? :)

Yep I know there were posted new guides, but those are guides where I need to root my tablet. And I don't want that... It is a bit tricky you know :S
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Youssef Hossam:
Look there are only two alternatives to get whatsapp working on a WiFi tablet .

One requires ICS instead of jb

The other requires rooting.

However rooting the nexus 7 is a simple and safe process , when you use the nexus tool kit . it does void your warranty , but the process is always reversible without any proof of rooting it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rcbsandeep:
If I root my tab2, how do I install whatsapp?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CheetahWarrior:
Ok, thank you :) But what means ICS and jb? And could you give me the lurl of the no-rooting-guide? :$ I'll try that one first, if it doesn't work, I try the rooting guide.

Uh, how do you mean? In that thread there is a guide how to install Whatsapp on a rooted tablet. I thought you asked for that?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hallergard:
I favour the Helium method, previously known as the Carbon method. Does not require root or appguard http://tinyurl.com/d4m6d9s
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CheetahWarrior:
Thanks! Gonna try it! can I use bluestacks instead of a smartphone? I'd think so if I use ES File Manager, (I think its the best), then I copy the Whatsapp backup files to Google Drive and on my tablet I download them from Drive.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hallergard:
I do not know. If you can use Helium (Carbon) on bluestack then I do not see why not - but I have no experience.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tishfire:
I install watsapp latest version using another method

1. use titanium restore app from another device's titanium watsapp backup

2. verify the phone number by inserting the sim card into a mobile phone device and wait for watsapp to send a sms code.

3. key in the code into nexus 7 watsapp

4. working

5. Take note you cannot use 2 same whatsapp account at the same time, watsapp will ask you to reverify
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CheetahWarrior:
Ok. Gonna try it... I have finally connected Helium Desktop to Helium Android. The drivers on the Carbon website didn't work, so I sent an e-mail to support, they said I should try the drivers of the Asus website. They worked :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CheetahWarrior:
Hey, can't I download the back-upped Whatsapp files from internet? So I don't need to backup them by myself? Or can I have yours?? ;) O:)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hallergard:
Sorry, why not find a friend who might entrust you to let you borrow his/her smartphone?!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] arvindsinghsangotra:

Works like charm !!!!

Just 1 thing u have to first activate the number u have to use in android mobile then take the backup, copy to u tab & then restore with the app..

ENjoY!!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jtafurth:
In tilapia version (3G) you can just download the newest apk from whatsapp.com/android and install it under a custom ROM, install go SMS pro from store and it will let you receive the SMS using the sim you have on your tablet. It will fail to to auto verify of course, but when it prompts to call you can just enter the code received by SMS.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
Main thread post is updated with new version!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hallergard:
Thank you AnonFBI for updating the main post with the Helium method. My experience differs: did not get asked to install Whatsapp from the play store (8) and thus did not restore Whatsapp data (9) - also did not do (11) and (12) - see my post #305 and http://tinyurl.com/d4m6d9s

I am now getting asked if I want to update Whatsapp. The play store does not let me (a couple of months ago it let me update) and sideloading got me as far as permissions, but tapping install nothing happens. Tried uninstalling - still nothing happens. Did you in (1) just do data backup? I did both.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ace-user:
regarding the carbon method, can i use the same account for 2 devices? cause if i recall correctly, the older methods will not sync notifications on both devices with the same account..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nijom:
Carbon method helped! Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
Which method is used is not important. The directory data/data/com.whatsapp must be copied from a device with an active Whatsapp.

It is possible to use the same phonenumber on 2 devices, but it will work on only one device. When Whatsapp is started on the 2nd device, Whatsapp wants to reverify the phonenumber.

You need to kill Whatsapp first on the other device.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
I did not tested yet, because i'm busy developing cm10 for allwinner a13 and because i only use whatsapp in my mobile.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Covart:
Good god, the amount of pain you non-rooted people put yourselves through!

If you are rooted, this is a simple 3 step process that takes 30 seconds.

1. From another rooted device make a backup of just Whats app via Titanium Backup.

2. Send file (will be named like this; com.whatsapp-20130606-104248.TiBkp) to Google Drive or Dropbox or Box or...

3. Download file on to your Nex7 and import data+app into Titanium Backup.

4. Done
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
Indeed a good methode using Titanium backup.

But when the devices are rooted, the only thing you have to do is copying the directory data\data\com.whatsapp from phone to tablet.

Use the copy-method you like.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hallergard:
The problem with sideloading was too low brightness. Temporarily disabling Twilight solved this, and it was easy to upgrade WhatsApp. No verification of phone number and no code needed.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SteveO390:
Ya know, I was asking if this would work on another forum but no one seemed to know. I had a feeling it would work.

I still need to root now, but I'm curious, will this app work simultaneously on my WiFi N7 and phone?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
This method will work in another tablets too, cannot work with both devices in the same time, i wrote it in the main post.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] StrangerWeather:
Hi, I'm stuck here:

The N7 does not have an external SD card does it?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SteveO390:
Just run the backup. You'll find it on the internal SD.

Tried this on my galaxy note 10.1. Too bad, didn't work. Whatsapp crashes on startup straight away.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
When your 10.1 does not have 3G but only WiFi, you probably need Appguard. With that app you can secure Whatsapp. When WA is secured you have to uncheck the function "Read phone identity".
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] barbet2:
Hi, thanx for the quick reply. Too bad it didn't work. I think it crashed before it even checked anything. Can it be that the configuration of the app is different on my samsung galaxy ace than on the note 10.1?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
WA does not support tablets. Tricks are needed.

1. Appguard must be installed on the tablet.

2. Directory data/data/com.whatsapp needs to be copied from a phone with a working WA.

3. The latest Whatsapp.apk must be copied from a smartphone to the tablet.

4. WA must be installed on the tablet.

5. WA must be secured with Appguard, (WA is not allowed to read phone identity).

When that is done and WA is started there is a possibility that WA tells you it has found a backup.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] FabrisioR:
Hello. I have a Motorola milestone (2.3.7) and I can't install Helium to do the backup. There's another app for do this? Sorry for the English

two device one account

hi, i was successfully installed whatsapp on my n7 wifi device using the carbon method . but now both my n7 and my sgn are using the same whatsapp account (same phone number).

both device are capable of receiving message(s) although the message went randomly within the two device, but i can send message from both device without having to re-verify my whatsapp account.

does anybody experiencing the same as me?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
In that case you are logged in with only one device at the time.

When you have WA running on both devices you will get the re-verify messages.

How to update whatsapp my version recently expired is there any short way i dont wanna go with the long procedure again and dont wanna loose messages
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dr.shaheed:
It say tablets not supported

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

it says whatsapp is not currently supports any tablets.......please reply
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] pleasant:
Do u have rooted tablet ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
That's why you need Appguard.

On wifi-only devices WA needs to be secured with Appguard, to avoid the message that tablets are not supported.

When WA is expired you need a new version. On the tablet you cannot download the new version from the play store.

You need a copy from a smartphone.

Hi guys

Has anyone used voice notes to send audio?

Can please tell me if your nexus 7 creates the audio file as an aac file or some other format?

Reason I asked is because my nexus 7 sends out voice notes as aac & it has difficulty being opened by a note 2 clone , an Asus fonepad , a galaxy tab 2 & a huawei ascend g525 all within the family. All the rest of the above phones send out the voice note file in m4a format & all have no problems being opened by any set within the above group.

in short all our phones have difficulty opening & listening to voice notes from nexus 7 but the nexus 7 is able to open & listen to vocie notes from all the other phones

the nexus 7 is also not able to open & listen to its own created voice note.

so far the only difference i have figured out is the difference in aac (created by nexus 7) & m4a format (created by all the rest of the other devices)

Any advice or help rendered here would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for reading.

just did a test - ip5 send voice note to me . the audio was on aac format & i was able to open / listen so guess its not a codec issue after all.

any advice will be appreciated

Hi

Just to clear the air the n7 3g is using its own dedicated Sim number there is no sharing.

Have installed the apk from whatsapp site successfully.

All functions work as advertised Except the sending of voice notes is not 100% success rate.

Around 70% of time though it shows sent on the chat screen & received on the target device the voice not can't be played back on either the n7 (source) or the target device though the message is sitting in the chat window.

Another discovery is that IF the voice note can be heard on the target then it can also be played back on the n7.

IF it can't be heard on the target then it won't playback on the n7 either .

As said above this is intermittent it does work flawlessly 30% of the time.

As this is a 3g n7 & I'm using its own dedicated Sim I believe it should work all the time as if its like a normal cellphone. The only thing is cant DL direct from Play as the device is seen as a tablet which is not recognized.

whatsapp doesnt detect my db backups and wants to verify known numbers

I been trying to get my whatsapp working again on my nexus 7 (2012). I installed cm on it today, and wanted to get my whatsapp up and running again.

I used a phone number for my whatsapp on my nexus 7 that isn't available in the real world anymore, I still used my account this morning. When I start my moddified (appguard) version of whatsapp and fill in my number it wants to verify it.....

I thought well maybe I am just screwd and need a new number, so i took my spain number that wasn't used yet for whatsapp on my spare android phone and full installed whatsapp on it. Then I used that number on my nexus 7, but had the same problem again, it wants to verify the number, both numbers have excisting whatsapp acounts... why does it not detect my backup files and just continue and restore my back-up. Please help, i really want my whatsapp on my tablest again.... (if possible with my original account number)

Using WhatsApp 2.11.78
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] boyzis:
1. Install file manger on tablet

2. Download whatsapp.apk on computer and rename it into whatsapp.doc

3. Bluetooth the file to nexus 7

4. The file wouldn't open' so just open file manager go to Bluetooth folder and rename file to .apk

5. Open file and install

6. Verify it using request a call option

It is this simple. Pm me if there is any problem.

Here's what I did..

On a 16gb nexus (no sim card)

1. Download whatsapp .apk file from the official website.

2. Download go SMS pro .apk file from the internet.

3. Insert the sim car into a phone and Downloaded go SMS pro. Register it and delete from the said phone.

4. Install go SMS pro on the tablet and activate it by using the sim number.

5. Install whatsapp.

6. When the registration screen comes, put the sim number, it will send an SMS through go SMS to your sim.it will come into whichever mobile your sim is in, but it won't activate this way.an error message will appear (registration failed, shall we give you a call ?? ) tap yes.

7. You will get a call on your mobile, an automated voice will give you a code, which should be Inserted into the registration screen of the tablet.

Did this in September and have not updated till now. Still working !

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DELLXPS1730E:
another way

Hi guys. For those who are not rooted or down want to make to big changes to stock app:

I found an easy way to install whatsapp on our beautiful nex7 WiFi.

First download The free apk text plus from the market. After installation an phone number will be alocated to our n7.

Go to option in text plus ,contact info and write down the number.

Now go to you PC and download that latest whatapp version from their website. Copy it via Bluetooth, WiFi, cable to your mobile.

Install it and when your asked for your number just put in the number from your text plus app.

Now verify the number in whatsapp via telephone(they will call your new number and give you a code) Write the code in whatsapp and your done.

Now you have whatsapp on your nex7.

PS: It`s easier than sound, just follow on screen indications .
