It works, but...

Hi all!

I have a question; why do you use Bluestacks App Player???

When I got the verification code from Bluestacks App Player, WhatsApp on Nexus 7 asked again a telephone number for verification!!!

If I use the call verification, WhatsApp on Nexus 7 answer me that I must wait 50 minutes for another call verification (due to the one with Bluestacks)...

Then, after 50 minutes, I did the call verification directly on Nexus 7...

Summarizing...

1) I installed WhatsApp 2.8.7326 version from provided link, secured it with App Guard by removing the access at phone status and identity and then I launched WhatsApp.

2) At the verification I used my telephone number (home, office, it's not obligatory to use cellular number) and when the SMS verification has failed I asked for call verification directly on my tablet. Then I used the code provided!

Is Bluestacks App Player really necessary???
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
Yes, it is necessary because BlueStacks let you use verification methods working, directly on nexus 7 you cannot do it!

You need setup the same phone number in bluestacks and nexus 7 (later of get the sms to your phone, received by bluestacks, you can setup

nexus 7 with the same phone number again and activate the installation with the 3-digit code)

amazing

I have a nexus 7 and a omnia w with windows phone...and whatsapp on windows phone is kinda ridicolous, now i can use it with no problems!

We cannot update to the last version, signer error when I tried to update
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] megaweb:
I have installed whatspp successfully to my nexus 7 previously and used for a while until recent whatsapp Dec update. Now I have uninstalled the old version of whatsapp and follow your latest steps. I encounter problem to secure whatsapp via Appguard. When I use Appguard to secure whatsapp, it aborts the app and prompts for error message "Unfortunately, AppGuard has stopped". I have tried a few latest version of whatsapp and all have this issue. Is it my nexus IOS 4.21 conflicts with Appguard?

Please advice.

Thanks.

i love you man!! thanks, works for nexus 7 4.1, can i use for two devices at the same time ? excuse my english
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NikolForAll:
The problem using whatsapp on two devices with the same phone number is that you're going to receive the messages randomly on the phone and on the tablet.

How to install whatsapp on nexus 7

Hi I have followed instructions but I can not get the nexus to accept code, says it has expired. The only differenc I did not use Bluestacks because it would not install something to do with graphics card but I have "you wave" installed and used that.

I have uninstalled from you wave as I thought it might have been stopping it but still wil not accept code can you help please?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Erik1805:
Thanks. Works great.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rahulz5:
Works great thanks :D

Only problem now is to figure out how to get contacts to show...

Anyone have any ideas how to link contacts

Update: don't know how I missed noticing people app :p a simple import of v card from phone to tablet resolved it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
Try to install the version of whatsapp posted in my thread, remember have the same version to your tablet too, test and tell me.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
You welcome, i updated the thread with contacts import methods
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
This app is giving me too much problems! And the fact that is not available for tablets is terrible.

I uninstalled it from all my devices.

I'm using viber instead!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jaddf:
not working ... I did everything step by step , same apk versions (7326), installed via appguard. Registered my phone number in whatsapp in bluestacks, and at the end when I entered the 3 digit number, that I received on my phone, on my nexus 7 it said the code is invalid ??

I've never used whataspp before, and this was the first time I registered a phone number (don't have smartphones).

basically either the method is not working any more or whatsapp servers are messed up ..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sentrilof:
More simple metod

I've installed whatsapp in another, and more simple way.

I've just restored one whatsapp backup (made on my galaxy s2) with titanium backup, and at the registration of the number, i've just inserted secondary phone number, and just wait for sms code ;).

If someone is interested in, just pm me, I can send the backup to restore ;)

EDIT: i forgot to tell that play store full recognizes the app, and i can update regularly when new version come up :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
WhatssApp is working great in my nexus 7 and I had a issue so far!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
Check you have the same whatsapp version in tablet and blue stacks if do not work try again maybe the servers are messed up, enter the code in whatsapp asap you get it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] debully:
Says version is too old, update on market :( how did you get round this?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
The only that worked for me was using a Titanium Backup of another phone!

But I wanted to use it like is described on 1st post!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sentrilof:
Just keep pressed in titanium backup on the file to restore, and click "connect to market" (collega al market in italian language, i dunno in eng :D)

My market full recognize it and let me update ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jaddf:
Well I used the same apk file ? Also after I created my account on the PC in bluestacks, I immediately (1-5 mins) tried to validate on my tablet ... Afterwards I tried a couple more times for about 2 hours with no luck , so I gave up and erased everything connected with the app.

I deleted my account in hope to create a new one , and that they send me a new code , but they just figured out the cell number was already activated and gave back my old account linked to the number ....
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hedayat7:
just confirm that the first post is OK ...

thanks alot !!! i'm very happy :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] woofycub:
I successfully backed this up from my spare rooted defy. Sent it to dropbox, then restored it to my nexus. Worked a treat. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AN7Z:
I didn't really need to follow this tutorial, although I find it useful. My Internet provider managed to give me a Phone number with the Internet SIM card (on my N7 3G). I don't really know how many providers do that, but, there is even an extra option besides this one (internet+messaging) of internet+messaging+voice calls which is kind of cool. The full one is 15 euro/month and I am paying 8 euro for this one, which is quite expensive for me also.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kuz1toro:
i tried and didn't work...

but I find an easy way of to do this, no need appguard instead it need one android phone beside your wireless tablet.

all you need to do is install whatsapp in normal way (I mean via Google market) both on your android phone and tablet then but register first using the android phone and you will get the code. next is just simply open whatsapp in your tablet and enter the code...it works for me
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mycupid123:

whatsapp 2.9.378 on nexus 7

Thx SENTRILOF, it worked for me. I had the "contact support" option when i clicked on the three dots and couldnt register on my tablet. so i backed up my HTC desire HD version of Whatsapp using titanium, dropboxed it to my Nexus 7. uninstalled and clear cache of the whatsapp i had on my tablet and then restored the HTC version straight from titanium. I didnt Need APPGUARD to stop the phone connections and everything. then I re-checked my whatsapp on HTC desire. and back to my NEXUS 7 I just registered it with my other phone number (didnt need BLUESTACKS either); i didnt get a text message, but when i clicked on "CALL ME", my phone rang straight and i could verify whatsapp on my NEXUS 7.

So In the end no need to use bluestacks and appguard if you already have a second phone number, just back it up and restore it from another phone using titanium and you'll be good to go...:good:

ENJOY !!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] danibyte27:
Hi! Could you please help me? I did as you said, but now I'm blocked at the secondary number.. how can I add another? I restored whatsapp on nexus 7, and when I opened it, I saw the same whatsapp I had on my smartphone, with same messages, contacts, ecc.. But I know that I cannot use them in the same time.. How can I add a secondary number (not still used on whatsapp) on nexus??

Thanks!!!

Daniela
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
Thanks!

I used the same method!

1. Downloaded the apk from the official site.

2. Install it on my N7.

3. Restored the whatsapp app data from my Samsung Galaxy S2 on the N7 with titanium backup pro.

4. Started the whastapp and when it says to register again I used another number.

7. Register whastapp with the SMS received on that number.

I even installed whastapp+ after that

1. Backup the official whastapp with titanium backup

2. Uninstall the official whastapp

3. Install the whastapp+

4. Restore the data backed up on step

For now it works!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DescenteDeLit:
Hello and thank you,

I have the same problem, I did everything right but when I enter my phone number and ask to send me a sms it says that Whatsapp version is too old and that I need to update. :(

I do not own a smartphone.

I do not have my Nexus 7 rooted.

Please help me :)

WHATSAPP on Nexus7

I've broke my head for a while after check I was unable to install the app from play store, but for my N7 (3G) it finally was quite simple...

after trying every possible tutorial on this and other forums...

go to http://whatsapp.com/android, DL the .apk and run it on the Nexus... don't even read a message, it get directly verified and got de app working... Just got the N7 and don't even realize how to read SMS...

I hope some works for you...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] :
This doesn't seem to work anymore. I did everything like in the instructions, but i got an error saying that the app was too old, in bluestacks as well as on the nexus. When I tried and did the same but with the latest version in the whatsapp website I got a ams with a 6 digit code, but when i hit the call button in the nexus, it says: "the client has been modified, download the latest version at whatsapp.com/android"

EDIT: after the error with the old version, it goes back to the first screen where you have to enter your number, so it's not possible to hit the option button.

After the error with the latest version, the option button only shows "contact support"
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
I think that is because your 3G provider allows you to receive SMS.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

Did you tried my method?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] :
I'm not root. Is there a non-root option to do that?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
Titanium backup needs root :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NikolForAll:
You get the error code "the client has been modified, download the latest version at whatsapp.com/android" because of appguard! Try this (i've did it and works like a charm on my non-rooted N7!):

1. Install this version on Nexus.

2. Start, enter NEW number for verification (mobile, landline, whatever, just be sure that never has been registered whatsapp with it!). Wait for the sms code. Sometimes, it makes you wait one hour for the option to request a call or to enter the 6 code digit.

3. Enter the code once you receive it. Done :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
I think that the method I used works on any tablet.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DescenteDeLit:
thanks

Says "It looks like your client has been modified. Please download new version from our website"
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sentrilof:
IF someone need backup of whatsapp, contact me, I can't just post link becose i'm too "newbie" for this forum system :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NuXeR:
Hey guys, I'm afraid whatsapp has changed something as I was following all the guides and opinions here and nothing works.

I do get the "call me" button, but when I try to click on it I get the error message of a modified client.

I cannot use an older APK becuase they blocked the old versions too...

The only option I can think of that I did not try is the Titanium backup, but my Nexus is not rooted yet.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] LarsAussems:
Isn't there an easier way? Because I want to easily switch when I come home with the GNex to the N7.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NikolForAll:
Did you remove appguard or at least disable it for Whatsapp?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DescenteDeLit:
Hey, thanks but if I don't use it, I can't even access Whatsapp registration, it shows the traditional "Whatsapp is not available for tablets yet" error message.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] r0mmel:
i followed the procedure step by step and got the same error msg
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
I also had the same problem!

But after the TB method I even can use whatsapp+.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NuXeR:
does the Titanium backup method allows you to change the number, or do you have to use the same number as the original device where you backed up the "whatsapp" application ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
Yes! You can change your number.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hemantchhabra:
It wants to upgrade whatsapp. wont work on PC and Nexus7

All said and done, as soon as I put in my phone number for it to register, it connects with internet and says my Whatsapp version is too old. Both on Bluestack and Nexus 7. Any remedies ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Dr.Lota:
There is some other method that you could try, the one using backup applications. You should download the whatsapp.apk file from whatsapp.com/android where is the latest file, and then load the apk on the tablet.

I hope this be helpful
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sauravdante:
after entering details in whatsapp in bluestacks..it connects to the internet and says version is too old please download a latest version from playstore!!!!!!! what to do please help urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bruaca:
Read what I wrote! But you will need a rooted device.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hemantchhabra:
What is the solution you are referring ? I didn't understand, all through the forum we have been told that both the versions of Whatsapp on Nexus and Bluestack should be same, and now it wants us to update it saying our version of Whatsapp is too old. Any way out ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ravenchad:
HEY Guys, TO ALL Nexus 7 3g users just download the official WHATSAPP ,

NO Bull s h i t, no other installation needed.

I tried this in my nexus 7 3g, its fcuking works!

http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NuXeR:
thats because you have the 3g version.

All of us using Wifi can't do it.

I don't quite understand how, but...

I CAN install whatsapp using the latest version on Bluestacks but I can't do the same on the Nexus.

Even though I used AppGuard, maybe the new client can identify that somehow?

there must be a solution!! :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
First I copied to the root of internal memory of Nexus 7:

A. the directory "Whatsapp" from the SD-card of my phone;

B. the old version of Whatsapp;

C. the newest version of Whatsapp from my phone.

Then I started the Bluestacks procedure.

After the message "too old" I installed the newest version of WhatsApp in Bluestacks and followed again the Appguard procedure.

"Phone calls - read phone status and identity" must be disabled/unchecked.

When Appguard is running but done, it is possible to start Whatsapp.

Now Whatsapp allowed me to enter the phone-number of my Smartphone.

Whatsapp starts to check the number (very slow) and half way I received on my Smartphone an sms with 6 digits (format 123-456).

Then I closed Bluestacks.

On the Nexus 7 I started the procedure with the old version of Whatsapp. But again "too old". I followed the same procedure as in Bluestacks.

So install the new Whatsapp-> appguard -> reinstall -> appguard: uncheck read phone status -> start new version.

The new version of Whatsapp allowed me to enter my phone number (same as in Bluestacks).

Whatsapp (new version) did not ask for the sms-code and started on the Nexus 7.

So I thinks the following is crucial:

- with appguard "read phone status and identity" must be disabled;

- Whatsapp must be fooled in a way that it will send an sms;

- Install Whatsapp on the Nexus 7 AFTER receiving the sms and use appguard.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NuXeR:
Could you please try to repeat these steps?

Is this on the 3g version or the Wifi version?

I can't do it on my Wifi Nexus, I get an error after doing the last step with the new whatsapp and appguard (and yet I unchecked the read phone status and identity" checkmark.

I get the error of a modified device.

When I click "contact support" and fill in my question it is opening gmail to send the question, it turns out that there is a field there saying which version my device is !!!

So... I guess appguard doesnt really stop Whatsapp from reading the device ID\type ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hemantchhabra:
Similar problem with me too. Did it, but it says the whatsapp on my nexus 7 has been modified ? Though I got the SmS from whatsapp via bluestack thing on my PC, but no point because whatsapp on nexus 7 has an error.

Any solution?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
Install Whatsapp on a tablet

I am using Nexus 7 Wifi (no 3G) and 32Gb internal memory. My Nexus 7 is rooted and uses Android 4.2.1.

The main problem is that two devices use the same the telephone number.

When starting Whats-app on the smartphone it is asking to re-verify or to close.

With re-verify it will work again, but the problem moves to the Nexus 7.

I uninstalled Whats-app from the Nexus 7 and did the procedure again, but without the Bluestacks hassle.

The steps are as follows.

PREPARE

A. On the PC: copy the directory Whatsapp and the whatsapp.apk from smartphone to the PC.

B. Copy the directory Whatsapp to the root of the internal memory of the Nexus 7.

C. Make a custom directory on the internal memory and copy the whatsapp.apk from PC to that directory.

(because Whatsapp refuses to install from market on a tablet).

INSTALL WHATSAPP

D. Install Rootexplorer on the Nexus 7 or another explorer. Install Appguard.

E. Navigate to the directory with the whatsapp.apk and install Whatsapp.

F. Do not start Whatsapp. Start Appguard and use "Secure a new app" select Whatsapp.

G. When Appguard is finished Whatsapp will be uninstalled and reinstalled. Now Appguard makes it possible to disable permissions.

H. Disable the permission: "read phone status and identity" press OK.

I. With Appguard you can now start Whatsapp and it will not discover that the device is a tablet.

In short.

On the Nexus 7 must be present: Appguard, an Explorer, whatsapp.apk, a directory Whatsapp with a backup of messages etc.

Appguard reinstalls a changed Whatsapp that blocks the permission to read the status and identity of the tablet.

So Whatsapp does not know it is installed on a tablet. Appguard gives Whatsapp another signature, so it cannot be updated.

After typing country and phone number Whatsapp pops up with "Message backup found!".

That happens when a phone number is already registered in the Whatsapp system and the backup directory is found on the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hemantchhabra:
Friend, I am sorry, I know you are trying to help , but I cant seem to understand the English. Would it be possible for you to ask someone who can write this method in steps in English ?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Dxue:
I think it is already in clear English, nothing to improve.

Just to be clear, do you need root for anything? as far as I can see, you don't use root for anything right? the nexus of my gf is up to date, but not rooted. i'm not there to help her (am on the other side of the freaking world and now she understands why i wanted her to root the nexus), and she reads rooted and is already cautious if it is needed or not.

Thanks dude

(update) she got it working with the method described above, non rooted device. she upgraded from older version. maybe there are only problems for those that install with new number/account? (she is your average girl with no interest in this nerd like things, so if she can do it, everyone can. well as long as you are upgrading that is.)

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

Just saying that with the titanium backup method, the whatsapp is still working.

I even change it to whatsapp +.

I changed the phone number to another phone (not a smartphone) . So I don't have problems with whatsapp being installed in more that one device, because that phone just received the confirmation SMS.

I just upgraded whatsapp+ to the last version and for now it's still working.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NuXeR:
It works!!!

Thank you for this method.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] maubuntu:
not for me....
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] yngwhi:
I don't own any android smartphone so the "backup-copy-paste" method above is not an option.

Bluestacks method not working due to "modified client" message when using newer whatsapp i.e. 2.9.378, message shows in nexus7

Bluestacks method not working due to "found newer whatsapp version" message when using post#1 whatsapp version, message shows in Bluestacks

Can we stop autoupdate activity of whatsapp in bluestacks so that it won't complain when using post#1 whatsapp version? "appguard" it in bluestack, anyone?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NuXeR:
You must be doing something worng. please try to follow the guide EXACTLY as it says.

yngwhi - that could be a problem which might force you to root your device and use the "titanium backup" procedure.

About Bluestacks, you need to download a browser within bluestacks and then go to whatsapp.com and download the version from their website.
