My phone was deleted a few days ago, and I want to recover some specific conversations from Whatsapp.

The issue is that the latest .db.crypt file I got is from July, and I do not know if the new version of the app has changed anything, but there is absolutely no way the phone recognizes an existing backup when I reinstall Whatsapp.

I have tried several times but no luck at all. Any help appreciated.

PD I have been thinking that if I install version 2.7 or so I could perhaps recover the old backup that does not work with the new version.

Deleting saved audio/video files on whatsapp

Sorry, a bit new t whatsapp!

Quick question.....when your using whatsapp and someone sends you or you record and audio or video file, i'm guessing hese get sotred locally on your phone (mine is a nexus4).

How do you manage/delete these files off your device??

Thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Deeco7:
'/storage/Whatsapp/Media/' folder. ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] mike_r1971:
Thanks for your reply......i'm guessing you do this when the phone is plugged into a computer? (can't find a way in the setting menu of phone where you can do this)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Deeco7:
You seem new to android. You can manage files directly from you're phone, no need for PC. All you need to do is download a file manager from the Play Store, preferably 'ES File Manager' then navigate to that path I mentioned above in your 'sdcard' or 'internal' memory.

Whatsapp is not working on mobile data

Hi,

Whatsapp is not working on my mobile data(EDGE and 3G both) on my note 2 but it is working perfectly fine on wifi. I have uninstalled and installed it again twice and running the latest version. Please help me, I am searching the solution since long but cannot find the answer anywhere.
[Desire Themes and Apps] andresi:
Hi people,

I have a little problem with Whatsapp, I have about 2000 media in Whatsapp. If I receive an image and want it to look big then that's real fix. But if I want to go back to whatsapp it takes forever.

It seems to me as if the image is maximized (I clicked on it) that it tries to load all the other media in the background.

This all is very slow.

I hope you know what I mean.

Now my question is, is there a fix for something that fetches only the image of what I want to watch too!

Thanks for your answer

There is no way not to be seen online? that is, they see me as I write? thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] thawizard:
there is a workaround i found out, but not so easy.

before your open whatsapp to read/write messages, you have to disconnect data and wifi connection.

after that start reading/writing offline, then close whatsapp and turn data/wifi on

whatsapp will send messages but it will not update your online/last seen status. :cowboy:
[Desire Themes and Apps] Deeco7:
At the current time there is no option in Whatsapp itself, only in iOS, However there are apps in the market that allow this. I use "Whatsapp Toolbox".

Is there a XDA version of WhatsApp or a way to disable the auto download of the new voice messages? They are annoying and I don't have that many mb's per month. Now I have to keep WhatsApp disabled when on 3g.:confused:

Incompatible with task manager?

After installing it says that the App is incompatible with my task manager, and asks me to remove it and try again. huh? :confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] baderth:
uninstall advanced task killer, try again.

but i wouldnt, no auth anyway after doing so.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ivanxx:
Thanks, it worked! And, as you said, no auth after that :sad:

Any idea on how to become an authorized beta tester? Most of my friends keep sendimg me whatsapp messages, and it's been a mess since I switched to Android (no other complaints anyway!)

I get: WhatsApp Messenger and your task manager are incompatible. Please remove your task manager and try again.

I'm on cyanogenmod RC 2 and have no idea what it's talking about. Does it mean the launcher? Or the file manager i used to install it? no idea..
[Desire Themes and Apps] herby68:
just go to apps an remove you taskmanager and install an other one
[Desire Themes and Apps] shotormorgh:
Got it, the problem was Advanced Task Killer..

edit: doesn't work anyway.. i'm not registered for the beta i guess.. Any workarounds?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Alhaddad:
i have a better workaround.. i think if you or anyone who successfully completed the application initialization... can back it up with TitaniumBackup, and provide us his backup.. then we will only have to change the phone number and nickname.. what do you think?? ;)

I got it working after 5th message, no need to mail them, just try from time to time, will auth eventually

If you get the error that you're not an authorized user you can also send an email to the developer of whatsapp and request access to the app. Note your country and phonenumber in the email ;) it worked for me, i got access the next day.
[Desire Themes and Apps] udovoodoo:
I get an error 2. Shame I've been waitting for this app for a year. No hacks anyone?

I also emailed them just to see if it makes a difference, no go i must say.

It will be a good app once its up and running, screen shots anyone?

Whatsapp bug?

Hi all!

After the recent updates of the program, there was a problem with the phone Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. If I'm enable or disable the checkbox "Allow display hidden contacts" in the settings of Whatsapp, it clears the list of allowed contacts in the 'lock mode' of smartphone. Also, it happens randomly, without enable or disable the checkbox.

Can you fix this problem?

ThanX! Sergey. Russia. Vladivostok.

I have stupid problem:

No settings for google backup, backup made by pressing menu item. But i dont have !! google services, framework, account on my device.

How do I know, which google account my data is synchronizing to?

How do I turn off sync?

I use 2.18.46 version

I try reinstall Whatsapp (with data purge)- menu options dont appears.

I go in my potential google accounts and dont see whatsapp in "manage apps" setings.
[Desire Themes and Apps] straycat73:
Asked Google but did not find an answer. Therefore, I have to ask here.

My wife told me the following story:

-she's got a WhatsApp group of 4 contacts on her smartphone;

- she is the admin, the ONLY admin;

- at some point the 5th participant appears in the group and starts sending spam; she has this contact in her phone, but she swears by God that she did not add him to the group.

Questions:

- Has anyone met a similar "hack"?

- Is it possible to look at some logs, when and HOW the "extra participant" was added/invited to the group?

Thank you in advance for your help !! %)))

Bug?

Hello all!

I do not get notification sound on incoming image message. Vibration ok. Tried a lot of versions, the bug is everywhere. Is there some solution or what?
[Desire Themes and Apps] szhura:
here's another problem. i get no sound and no vibration on incoming message - only screen activation with pop-up. huawei p30 pro. app from market. android 10.

the problem is floating. sometimes i get sound and sometimes not...

there's some clue that problem connected to long inactivity (more than hour)

there's another clue that second consecutive message have no issue

so maybe problem lurks in some deepsleep state. but energy saving for whatsapp - disabled and i don't know what else to do...

edit: it seems that problem has some "workaround": disabling some notifications in "settings -> notifications -> application notifications" will do the trick

Try running it again 24 hours later.... worked for me. I think it takes 24 hrs to register your phone number on their servers.

Been running it on my HD2 (using android ofc) for the last month. Also..there seem to be regular updates to the app, use the update option in the settings menu.

[Desire Themes and Apps] dsMA:
[Q] what does this app do?

I just want to make sure I understand what this app is before I go installing it. This is a txt (both sms and mms) message app that lets you text ONLY other people using this app....is that correct?
[Desire Themes and Apps] danamoult:
It's not a text via sms thing.

It's more like a cross-platform BlackBerry Messenger.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ckhacks:
Works for me, if you cant register just wait a few hours or try the next day.

Anybody any ideas what the code via sms is for?

You dont need it for the registration, because it just wants to choose

a nick, no need to paste any code...
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgorki:
I had to enter the code when signing in for the first time. Maybe no need for that in newer versions.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mark_bnl:
Hello,

Maybe a stuppid question, but how to install WhatsApp?
[Desire Themes and Apps] BrainB0ne:
Just download the apk from the link that's present in the first post.

Transfer the apk to your android device, and then open/install it with a file manager.

I myself use AndroZip for these purposes.

WhatsApp works great for me on a HTC Legend :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgorki:
I recommend using Dropbox to have instant access to APKs on your PC and have them synced to android on demand. On my Desire they can instantly be installed after downloading from my Dropbox folder.
[Desire Themes and Apps] danchappers:
Took about 12 hours fron when I downloaded it to when it stopped telling me that I wasn't part of the beta trial

So far so good although graphically is a bit boring at the moment. Hopefully this will change and let's hope they add in groups.

whats app problem on desire

hi all

i know this is my first thread and i dont want to sound aggressive..

but thats what happened with me

i downloaded the app

then it told me its not working because there is a conflict with the task manager..i deleted the task manager

then it told me that i have to enter my number for my country..i did..it sent about 20 msgs to my phone with some stupid sms messages and asked me to disregard all of them..all it did was drag my balance on my phone..and it still didnt work..

bottom line... worthless application on andriod
[Desire Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
i dont use task manager and mine installs fine.

People with it working, do you still get battery drain?

Older beta had huge battery drain while it was running in the background.

this is really cool! just downloaded it on my desire yesterday and finally can ping with all my schmuck bastard iphone having friends :P hehe
[Desire Themes and Apps] StomUK:
Installed it here yesterday and had the usual send txt message request. Attempted to log in and got the unauthorised warning..

Give it time though people, I tried again today and it connected through fine and I am yet to see any issues with it just yet (tried sending a picture and location message to my iphone friend and was sent with no problems, as were the pictures and locations sent from her phone).

I downloaded the file in the opening post. It downloads as a zip file, I just renamed the file (well, dropped the .zip extension off so it was a .apk file) and copied that over to my desire. Opened the apk within EStrongs File Man and installed without issue.

(note you may need to enable view known file extensions or whatever within windows explorer so you can rename the file properly)

what I miss ?

please assist me with that
[Desire Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Ok got this thing registered. Working fine.

So question: How do I exit from this program? Pressing back will not close it. It will still be connected to Whatsapp servers. Or do I just leave it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phugz:
Yo yo so I've been trying out whatsapp from a few days..

Bout the Task Killer issue - just remove your task killer, then move on to installing the up and get it Authenticated. After that you can install it back and whatsapp works fine..

Caution though, I'd recommend adding whatsapp to the exception list, otherwise it goes against how whatsapp is supposed to run..

Good luck with the authentication, just keep trying every couple hours, it will work.. worth the wait :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phugz:
Dude I'm running it on HD2 as well, just wanted to know bout the updates after downloading it says installation failed..

Did you uninstall first before running the new apk? Would that mean you'd have to go thru the authentication again?

Thanks man..
[Desire Themes and Apps] niteowl360:
No 'Send' button option!

I can type text etc but do not have a 'Send' Button to the right of the text entry box.

I have read the thread but this seems to be unique (apart from patzkata who seems to have something similar).

I updated this morning soon after gaining access, but still can't Send.

Oh well, I guess I'm half way there :)

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

[Desire Themes and Apps] niteowl360:
I know it's sometimes frustrating seeing people post queries which have been addressed in earlier posts / changelogs etc.

And, yes, I was guilty of not seeing a 'changelog' which doesn't seem to be listed in this thread!

At any rate, thanks for your post.
[Desire Themes and Apps] danamoult:
When I first installed it, it ran without any problems, detected all my friends that already had whatsapp and integrated itself fine.

Just today I updated whatsapp after being prompted to. After doing so, I added a new contact to my phone, a friend who definitely had whatsapp. Whatsapp did not detect the number as already having whatsapp. Even when my friend messaged me it still did not integrate itself into my contact list.

Only after playing around and adding him manually on whatsapp, linking them together in my contact list a few times, did it detect him. After deleting the contact from my phonebok again to try a second time, the same thing happened. Rebooting the phone did not help.

Any ideas? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S.
[Desire Themes and Apps] AdamLC:
Been using it for a couple of days and it all seems to be working fine! Doesn't really seem to drain the battery at all! Only just this second installed the update so we will see what this is like. Technically should be better as the change log says its using C2DM again which should help :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] blisterplease:
I use ATK Pro and I didn't have any problems with it running whilst registering, maybe pro doesn't affect it? I also had no problems with the general registration either, I suppose I'm just one of the lucky few. Runs great on my N1 (I know this is a Desire forum, but there doesn't seem to be a thread for whatsapp anywhere on the N1 forum, besides, they're brothers!) and seemingly great on my friends Desire's. I'm pleased.
[Desire Themes and Apps] LC_Nab:
It almost seems like the Handcent app, its simply an text messaging app that lets you send pictures, links,audio,recordings and so forth via text message. Difference is Handcent is always free xD. But I'm sure that this App since its payed it would have more eye candy and support. ( Only speculating tho )

Also I tried it for a test run but kept getting Authorization error : ( .
[Desire Themes and Apps] StomUK:
Your friends also need the app installed on their phone. During registration you send your mobile number to the servers (I think), your friends also do the same thing. Once the app is running it checks numbers in your phone book against the ones registered on the servers as having the app and adds them to your contact list. Basically your friends be it Iphone, Blackberry or other Android need to have the app installed and set up so that it picks them up to add to your list.

The FAQ ( whatsapp.com/faq/#5 ) does give you perhaps a reason why it didnt work (although in my case the contacts do not have the country code at the start of the number so umm.. dunno)

At least I think thats how it works.. someone correct me if I am wrong
[Desire Themes and Apps] StomUK:
Umm.. depends on if you have free text messages for the 'free' thing of handcent (yeah, the program is free but if your provider doesnt have free texts then you have to pay for them). Having said that, Whatsapp uses your data connection for chatting so err.. again that costs anyway.. Umm.. lost my point now..err

Authorisation Error will clear after some time, I left mine over night and it worked fine the next morning :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] patzkata:
that's the answer which I need, thank you very much for the perfect explanation ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] danamoult:
Among other things, Whatsapp is best for international messaging as you don't have to pay per sms.

Has anyone run across the same problem I talked about on the previous page?
[Desire Themes and Apps] goksar:
open whatsapp -> press + -> and then press your menu-key of your phone and then refresh :)
