Hi Guys,

I've been using Whatsapp ever since it was in Beta.

I am using it on a Desire HD. I noticed over the last few months, especially with my larger group chats that media will take forever to load. Pictures will take about 20 seconds before they are displayed.

Also, if I press menu to bring up options, it will take a very very long time before anything happens. It will first pop up with a force close or wait option, if you hit wait the menu will finally pop up.

For the smaller chats, the lag is not so noticable.

Is anyone else having this issue and is there a way to fix it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] vis-tec:
does anyone know if you can stop media saving to SD automatically?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mistaliu:
+1 especially the stuff you already have on your card and are sharing. Like if I share a camera pic with it, whatsapp saves another copy in its own folder. So dumb, what do I need 2 copies of it for!?:confused:

hello everyone. whatsapp comes with 1 year free trial, and now my trail have finished. how can i continue using the program without having to pay for it??? thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] Stefus:
It's $1.99 for one year free texting etc..you can pay by paypal if you don't have a credit card. I think it is low price for this cool app and the money you safe instead of using sms.

But i even don't know a way to get it for free instead of a new simcard or number.

Hi, does anyone know if the Whatsapp message databases used on the Blackberry can be transferred to the SD card on an Android phone and have the message history restored to WhatsApp for Android (under the same phone number).

I have tried transferring Whatsapp message logs from one Android phone to another and it works but I'm not sure if the database structure created and used by the Blackberry app is the same as that of the Android version.

(I would try it out myself but activating Whatsapp on my Android phone would deactivate it on my BB which I have to use as my main phone. To reactivate it on the BB I have to reinstall which would force me to download the latest version that is supposedly borked)

private contact

Hi there,

Is it possible to have a contact hidden in some sort of private area? I really would like to be able to text a person without it showin in the regular list

Also, would it be possible to just get a message notification in the top bar instead of the whole message being displayed?

I hope this can be done!

Thank you

Message Backup

Hi, First post for me here on XDA-developers, so i hope i put this in the right place.

I was wondering, with the backups of the Whatsapp messages, if you were to email the chat history it only sends about ~3 months of your chat history, how can i get the

entire

conversation history? And if it is possible is there anyway to keep it in a textfile or similar file format?

Thanks!

Does anyone know how I can delete the duplicate contacts whatsapp made in my contacts app? Pressing delete contact in the contacts app does not remove them.
[Desire Themes and Apps] septix:
I don't have duplicate contacts.

Can't you join the contacts together?
[Desire Themes and Apps] NovaStark:
I don't have an option for join. Some of the duplicates you can open and see the whatsapp logo and the number and in others it will say that contact does not exist.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gregbrooker:
Have you tried removing the app and clearing the data, reboot then a reinstall? You sure the empty contacts didnt exist before?
[Desire Themes and Apps] septix:
Weird.. Do you have contacts synced to your email? And maybe some on your sim card? That happened to me.
[Desire Themes and Apps] NovaStark:
I got it fixed now, even though I didn't sync with gmail or anything else, I had to untick those options and the duplicated went away. Whether or not it is actually gone or just now hidden, I don't know.

I've always had a delay in receiving messages, sometimes it's an hour delay!!! I think this contradicts the whole purpose oft this program plus I've paid for it...

I haven't got a 3G connection so I only use it via Wifi.

Wifi is always on (via Wifi sleep policy).

On the site of What's app they even advise you to turn off Wifi and see if it works.... :confused:....

[Desire Themes and Apps] elvandar83:
Hello,

I have a problem with WhatsApp and an international contact.

My phone number is +39340xxxxxxx, from Italy. I installed WhatsApp on an HTC Desire running a stock Android Froyo 2.2.

The phone number I have a problem with is +44787xxxxxxx, from United Kingdom, with WhatsApp installed on a Nokia 5800 running Symbian.

I can see every person who installed WhatsApp present in my address book (all Italian people). Also this international contact is present in my address book, but for some reason I can't see it. In the same way, the person in the UK can use WhatsApp without problems with both English and International contacts (also other Italian people), but the only contact he can't see is mine.

Notice that this person used a Italian SIM Card till yesterday on the same phone, and there were no problem at all chatting with him on the Italian number. Yesterday, as soon as he arrived in the UK, he changed the SIM Card with the English one and started using WhatsApp with his English account.

I already tried all the solutions found on WhatsApp site: making sure the number is saved with the +44 in the address book, forced a contact refresh with the invisible/visible method, etc...I also tried saving the contact in a new contact of different types (Google, Telephone and SIM) and even substituing infos of the working contact I already had with the English number. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp and, as last test, wiping the phone....but none of the above solutions worked.

Have you and idea how can I solve the problem?

Thanks to all, and sorry for my bad English!

[Desire Themes and Apps] InfinitiGuy:
I often switch SIM cards between my Blackberry (work phone) and my HTC Amaze phone. Problem is that Whatsapp needs to be re-installed and re-registered whenever I start using it on the device I just moved my SIM card to. I found a way, at least on my Amaze to just reset the credentials to make it think I just re-installed.

You'll need a rooted phone and some sort of file browser (I use root browser)

Go to /data/data/com.whatsapp/files

delete 2 files "me" & "device_id"

Now when I go to Whatsapp, I don't need to re-install, I just go through the initial SMS message registration and it works again.

Hi, is there anyone having issues with WhatsApp causing a lot of wakeups?

I use BetterBatteryStats to monitor my battery.

Last night, 7 hours on battery, there are 137 wakeups from com.whatsapp.MessageService.RECONNECT

I don't get it. What causes this?

I have very good signal quality here.

I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling WhatsApp, but these wakeups are still showing.

Anyone?

Thanks.

Help with Whatsapp

Hi all,

I am looking for help i am using only one phone (nokia C3) but multiples sim cards (lot of travelling) and i installed whatsapp on my south african vodacom sim, now i am in Australia in the middle of nowhere and despite deleting and reinstalling whatsapp it keeps on asking for my cell phone number but doesn't recognise it (as i didn't manage to reset it: when i reinstall it it just go directly to the verification sms page)and always answer "check your access point or contact your mobile carrier" i contacted Telstra and they said it's not their fault which i believe cause internet is working fine!

Any one got an idea to help me feeling less far away from all my friends??

Do i have to uninstall the program(don't know how to do it?) or cancel my account??

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has had problems restoring whatsapp chat backups? I backed up the whole whatsapp folder and did a full wipe of my phone. Copied over the folder again to the same place but when I install the app it's not picking up the backup files in that folder??
[Desire Themes and Apps] ztedd:
Re: problems restoring whatsapp chat backups

I guess there are two possible explanations:

- The new installed Whatsapp after wipe is a newer version that uses a different structure of the database and therefore can't read the old backup files

- Whatsapp isn't able to decrypt the .crypt Backup files. I'm not sure how exactly this encryption works and how Whatsapp internally decrypts the files. Maybe by doing a full wipe too much of the data are deleted, so that it can't be decrypted anymore?

Did someone successfully restore a backup after doing a full wipe of the phone?

You can try to install exactly the same whatsapp version as before. For this it is recommended to backup whatsapp not only by copying the whatsapp folder at the SD card, but also using Titanium Backup.

If you didn't do this, try to get to know which whatsapp version you used before, find that one, and install it.

Anyway, for future backups I strongly recommend backing up whatsapp in human readable format, that's to say copying the non-encrypted msgstore.db using root access to the system data dir (not SD card).

You may then encrypt it on your PC using any method of your choice (e.g., wuala, 7zip, truecrypt, ..), but you are sure to be able to read and restore the messages.

To read them you can use the Whatsapp Backup Extractor (see my post above), and to restore simply copy it back to the system data folder of whatsapp.

The whatsapp .crypt Backups seem not to be really reliable.

Hi there,

I think this is something all of the android users have noticed at least once. But I couldn't find an answer to it so I thought I'll ask it here. If it's already been answered then I'm very sorry.

If you download an image in Whatsapp that a contact sent you it is downloaded in the 'Whatsapp Images' directory. This directory is accessable through the Gallery or Quickpic or whatever.

When you decide to send that same image to another contact, Whatsapp creates a new file in the 'Whatsapp Images' directory while it's the same image. So then you have a duplicate file.

Each time you send or receive the very same image it gets duplicated by Whatsapp. Some popular images are already 8 times in my 'Whatsapp Images' directory. I think this is very annoying.

I tried a duplicate file finder. That works (but not always as good as I wish), and I have to do it everytime I send something to multiple contacts. Why can't Whatsapp detect this?

If there is a solution to this, please enlighten me. If you are not experiencing this at all but think to know what I'm doing wrong, again, please enlighten me!

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, need your help with WhatsApp

I used this app on my HTC desire in June. In july i changed HTC to SGS2. I moved folder WhatsApp, which contains my messages backup to my new phone. After i installed WhatsApp it didn't see any backups in the folder and didn't offer to me to restore it.

So I don't know how can I restore my backup from old phone :(

May be backup bound to my old phone and can't be restored on new?

I hope you help me ;)

Yeah, i used it. It backuped my history on HTC automaticaly. In my SGS 2 i have not external SD, only internal memory. And i used folder, that was created by WhatsApp at first installation. After that i uninstalled app, copied backup to the folder and installed app again. WhatsApp didn't see backup files, deleted them and created a ned backup file.

As a result: If i use backup, which have made on SGS2 - whatsapp offer me to restore it, if i use backup from Desire S, whatsapp doesn't see it and create new

Guys, good morning!

hope you can help me but I found a problem when trying to install WhatsApp again.

By switching device and install WhatsApp on my new phone with the same phone number, it says I can only use the same phone number in one unit.

I searched the internet and saw that when you install WhatsApp several times, it blocks that number and you can no longer use it.

Does anyone know any solution to this problem?
