I don't think Whatsapp has been designed with Tablets in mind though I was hoping to use it when I get mine. Firstly are you sure you have got it set up correctly, I can't remember when I first set mine up on my phone but I think once I installed I had to put in the phone number I was using and then got a text message from Whatsapp on that number.
Again not sure on this next part but the Tab 10.1V doesn't have text message functionality does it? If not then I don't think it is set up correctly.
Anyway, lets assume that it is. The second issue is that Whatsapp syncs with your contacts from the phone book and the tablet doesn't have phone functionalities so won't have a phonebook.
I have a feeling that the phone version of Android 2.3 and below may store contact information in a different location to where Android 3.0 and above stores it so the app won't be able to find any of your contacts.
This is purely just guessing, you might want to shoot Whatsapp a quick message and see if that is the case or maybe do a Google search. They've had between 5-10million installs already so I'm sure there must be someone that has tried it on a Honeycomb Tab already

Thanks for your Help
I will look in to it and let you know something
Best regards

Look over at the whatsapp thread under the Xoom forum. I managed to get it working, but it won't run on the same account for 2 different devices at the same time (as Skype does), so I'm not using it.

How did you managed to do it?

I had no problems installing Whatsapp from official site, not the market, on my 10.1v after installing TB Galaxy 1.0.3 rom. I received sms validation, but never managed to add any contacts. Any hints?

Easy as a piece of cake!
Guys, actually it's very simple. I tried it myself and works.
Here's how:
Use the SIM card (mobile number) and insert into Tab 10.1 that you want your contact to see if you are online. This is also the number that you will be using to send/receive Whatsapp.
Download the latest Whatsapp here and install it on your Tab
Run Whatsapp and key in the SIM card mobile number and wait for it to verify
Wala... now you have a running Whatsapp!
Every mobile broadband card there is a number associated. If you do not know what is the number of the sim card, then take out the SIM card and plug it into a working phone, create a sms and send it to yourself and you will see a number popping up. That is the number you should key in Whatsapp.
NOTE: Because the number you are using in Whatsapp will determine who will see or will not see you online, therefore, I recommend either you inform your contacts that you have two Whatsapp running. One is on Tab while the other is on your phone. You cannot run both together using one number, but you can also circumvent if you intend to use it on your Tab rather than your phone, just use the SIM number that you are using for calls and insert into Tab to verify then take out the SIM and put back to your phone. It will still work.
It's easy and someone made it complicated. I thought so too initially!
PS: you won't be able to see your contact list as usual.

whatsapp is working correctly, BUT the contacts will only show up as numbers. and yes, im only running one instance of whatsapp.
as im reading this, do you mean that all your contacts needs to be on the SIM card and not using google contacts?

Whatsapp support mail
This is what official support answered me: "Sorry, tablets are not supported at this time and we have no plans to support them."

not working for me.

Try Viber, similar to whatsapp but can see all contacts. However, Viber can't seems to allow attachment of pic and clips. Anyone has ideas?

i found a way to use whatsapp with contacts, in a way.
Note my screen shot on the top half with names listed icons. (1st screenshot)
You can set whatsapp as default messaging and by pressing the friend icon, goes straight to a whatsapp conversation.
(2nd screenshot)
Note this.
You will need to keep all conversations and never delete them, otherwise you will need to get your friend to initiate a new conversation. But no big deal.
I tried everything else and this is the only way.
Hope that helped someone.

now the contacts accept whatsapp.
just set the default messaging service to what'sapp on the friend icon.
once your in contacts and press the contacts name, it shows the what's app icon as seen in the screenshot.
Works perfectly.

Update.
saving the contacts under device only makes what's app possible and only then will the icon appear under the contact.
Also. Now the contacts list can access whatsapp like it should.
Always get your friend to initiate the conversation and save it from there.
Transferring old account from the adroid phone trick does not work so this is the best way.

to bad this isent with wifi only ,
is there a way like imessage, or ping to use on tablets?

It's as safe as anything else you do on the internet. Like I said, I'm not logging any credential info....it just gets passed to to google with SSL.
I noticed a bug, when you manualy dial from the dial pad you can't dial the number 0, when you dial 0 it comes up as a 9

Nice stuff.
My specs are:
Omnia running 6.5 - WQVGA screen. I know some of these problems might be related to that.
First, I love the fact that you now have that SMS history. It kicks serious ass - I can use my keyboard with xt9 in it no problem or shapewriter - so great work.
However, I do have a problem when it comes to loading my contacts... for some reason nothing shows up. Before I was able to. So, now if I need to send an SMS I have to go into voicemail find the contact and then sms there.
How is the notification system going?
Is there a way to integrate the phone contacts with one touch - or visa versa?
Anyhow, Kudos... great work.
Looking forward to future releases.
Relay address?
I would like to use this with my T-Mobile ToGo prepaid service. However, their data service is restricted to certain sites. There is a workaround but I need the IP address of your relay in order to make the mod on my phone. Oh, and I need to be able to change the URL of the relay to something with tmobile in the URL. Basically what I would do is create a dyndns entry of tmobile.dyndns.org (or something) and then link that to your relay IP address.
Is there a way to change the relay URL in the application and can I get the IP address of your relay? I think it may work.
Thanks

Not really. What I had before, and what I hope to have again in a little bit is as close as I could get it. I did improve how the contacts worked, but it looks like I broke it too. Hopefully, I'll have the fix out later tonight.

The notification system would make this awesome. I thought that you might have been working on one because I think you said that the other thread. Anyhow, it would be great if a notification system could be implemented somehow.
And I guess as far as features go - I know that you were not paying too much attention to aesthetics, but perhaps you could have a button on the dialpad for the SMS history, contact list, or favorites, or something... that way the dialer would just be the main dialer I always use. This all piggy backing on the hopes that you get the contact list to work.
Anyhow, heres to future builds

I was just messing with you. The notification is already there, I just commented out the messagebox that tells you there's a new message. I did that because I'm trying to figure out how to send the event to the phone instead of a message box, because the MB won't pop up if the app is running in the backround.

if you don't put in any numbers and hit either the dial button or the sms button, the former takes you to your contacts(and I think I know what's wrong with it, fixing it now), and the latter takes you to SMS history.

Not a problem anymore. Fixed the contacts and a couple of other things and posted a new cab.
Great progress on this app (and in such a short time!). Finally just got the latest version installed and am playing around with it.
The buttons appear to be too big - I would guess I can see about a quarter of the icon I'm supposed to be able to see for ech of the numbers and the dial and SMS buttons down below.
When I click over to SMS history I get a "could not retrieve messages." error.
Dialing gets me a "web exception" error.
Im gonna keep playing with it though.
whoops. new build. should work now.
fixed the smsmessage history "error parsing message xml" error. new build posted. also fixed a small contacts error.
Is there a way to add an auto update function?
The screen does not fit properly in SE Xperia X1a. Can you make a version for WVGA?
- TKN
waiting on qvga. would be happy to test.

[FIX] People not receiving your texts? Read this

When you download the Facebook for Android app, it asks you to sync contacts. DON'T DO IT. Whenever someone has a phone number in their Facebook profile, regardless of if there is an existing contact that it will link to or not, the number will have a +1 in front of it. For instance, a number that should read 123-456-7890 would read +1123-456-7890. Facebook adds this for unknown reasons. When you send a text to the borked number, the text goes through, even on verizon.com, it says that the text was sent by you and that the other person received it on their profile. However, the person does not receive it on their phone. Also, if you call someone with a borked number, the phone will not ring.
In conclusion: Don't sync Facebook contacts, and your SMS should send fine and calling should work fine. Alternatively, you can use any messaging app but stock, such as Go SMS Pro and the message will go through fine, even with the +1 format.
Hope this helped someone.

Nice Find man i havent noticed this but ill be weary of this from now on
How does this explain people receiving some messages and not others? If it was the number they wouldn't receive any texts at all, not just 30% of them. I noticed this a while ago and I couldn't call people with the +1, but they received texts just fine.

Only people who have their numbers listed in their Facebook profile are affected.
This is what worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, then I'm sorry.
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying maybe there's two seperate issues. Without my Facebook contacts synced some messages are going through and some aren't. Maybe its just me, but I've seen posts with people saying the same. Thank you for your solution nonetheless.

You're welcome. I'm not saying by any means that this will solve everyone's issues. Just my experienced and it worked for me. Best of luck to you on sorting whatever is up with your SMS out. What ROM are you using?
+1 is the country code for the USA, no idea why it's adding it though. I know that wavesecure requires you add +1 to the contacts on your contact list since the texts come from somewhere in asia IIRC (may not be true now since McAfee owns them).
I know it is, but since it's a cell phone, you don't use the 1 or +1, which messes it up.
Thank you for putting this up. I was confused and frustrated as to why lots of my contacts didn't receive or was able to send any texts or calls to me. But now its all good
I'm going to test this theory. Hope this works. Thanks

Try using Contacts Clean-up from Android Market. It works great and resolved my issue on the fly. Dev just made it CDMA compatible
I think this only matters on sense roms. I know I need to be on aosp for dialing businesses through voice search to work because it also adds a +1 (at least it used to).
Thanks for the post. It was driving me crazy.

[Q] No Text Compose In Google Voice App

I have installed the APK for GV on my mom's Fire.
Although it connects to her Google account and displays received text messages, there is no way to compose and send or even reply to text messages.
I Do not want to install a secondary text messaging app because those give you a new phone number, and her contacts would not know who was texting them. (I have however, installed and removed one of these apps to confirm that sending texts from the fire is possible).
I have seen other's post that GV is working for sending and receiving, so I assume it is possible.
1. What should I check?
2. Is there a special version of GV that I need to install? (I installed build number 0.4.2.38 from my HTC EVO).
I helped someone fix this for their REzound on IRC the other day.
Get a new phone # and resetup your account, it fixed his issues.
Not sure what the problem is.
I just installed Google Voice from the GAPPS package and logged in. I had no problems at all seeing voice messages, and when I used it to send a text it worked fine.
I just can make a phone call with it, but I can use it for SMS both sending and receiving without any issues.
The exact issue the other guy had was, he had the # a really long time, and his account was not setup correctly for some reason, so he couldn't send anything at all through the app since it didn't detect his account basically.

Ah! I've heard about this GAPPS package, but haven't looked into it yet. Maybe it contains a version of GV that is somehow different than the one I used?
Can anyone provide a link, or tell me what forum to search for it? (I'll do a search myself, but am asking just in case I fail to find it).
should I un-install the other google apps I already loaded or will they just get over written?
Thanks, btw!
Edit: As expected, I had poor luck performing a search. Could not find GAPPS on XDA. I did find links on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com, but there are several, and the post states you need to download the correct version for your device. Which one are people having sucess with on KF?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps
Use the one for CyanogenMod 7
Thanks krelvinaz. Don't mean to be a pita, but googlevoice.apk was not in with the other apk's in that zip, unless it's named something else. Looks like it contains only the basic, necessary Google apk's required for most Google services (inc. contact sync, btw, which will be a big help!).
If I ever find the correct zip, do I flash with adb, or install each apk separately?
Will send you a PM.
So I got Gapps zip, extracted the apk's, and copied them to the Fire. Several Google core apk's won't install however: GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleCalanderSyncAdaptor, GoogleContactsSyncAdaptor.
I assume I need that last one to get contacts synced with the Gmail account.
In Google Voice, the button for writing a text now appears, but when I click it, I get a force close. Must need some other core app I guess.
Does Gapps require Root? I've been going round and round with GV on the Fire. Mostly, can't get contacts to show. I was accessing GV through Opera browser. As well as Gmail. I noticed after the last Fire update they included their own mail app and that wiped out my gmail app that I side loaded and worked fine (but now can't run at all) So hoping that Gapps works without root. It is my daughters and I would hate to break it. But I'm trying to get it set up for her as much as possible without rooting, to use Google products as they were intended. As of now, a LOT of pecking from place to place, just to do simple tasks.
A little work around. I'll try to remember how I did it. Has to be done on the stock browser. Google search for Google Voice. One of the results will get you a page that shows a few large cell phones and a blue button that says "send to your phone" or something similar. And it is sending m.google.com/voice as an SMS to your phone. I selected and put in my Google Voice number. Open browser and go to Google voice. This will take you to the crippled version. (where contacts don't show up and voice seems hard to use) it will also come to the notifications bar. Go to that SMS message and click on the link in it. Here's where I can't remember what I did. But you either go to the bottom of the page and switch to "desktop" Version or "more Google products" which will give a long list of icons and respected Google services. Once I opened that link to GV, it opened the normal desktop version. It showed only one contact, me from some earlier attempts. I found a link to "all contacts" and they all showed up. I went to GV settings, (the gear) and set up preferences. In general, always use GV to place calls. Set up your number you want to use for incoming calls. I deselect voice prompt when answering and chose the other option. Sorry that it is so vague. I stayed up late to figure it out. Didn't think to keep track of my steps. I think you need to go to your pc to put contacts in. Anyway, you can use this as a phonebook that you just hit "call" and it will ring your phone and auto dial your contact. Or you can use it to text the contact. I did both without any problems. The first thing I did was bookmark the page. I also copied the link and pasted it into Opera browser. I also bookmarked that one as well.
I will try to paste the link from the kindle when my daughter is done playing games. That might work too.

I am still struggling with this GV app issue on the KF.
I continue to suspect the app is not fully functional because I cannot get one or two google apk's to install in the system/apps folder: GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleCalanderSyncAdaptor, GoogleContactsSyncAdaptor.
I have installed root explorer and believe I have set the folder to RW, but when I try to run the apk's I get an error message, or a "did not install" message (I am not with the Kindle Fire right now, so I'm going from memory).
I believe this should work because several others have posted its working on theirs.

Canadians: Using Rogers One Number on the N1?

hey everyone
As Canadians may have heard, a carrier finally did something nice for us, Rogers released their One Number service, sort of a poor man's Google Voice, which is great for Canadians as we can't yet access Google Voice.
You get txting/calling from your browser, you can ring multiple phones, etc.
Any experiences of using it so far?
https://www.rogersonenumber.ca
So far it seems OK, however the equivalent Android app doesn't seem to work on the N1. Anybody have luck with this?
I'm running CM7, and when I open the site to get the Android app the Rogers site says
Your phone currently does not suppor tthe Rogers One Number mobile apps. You can continue to use the service from your computer at www.rogersonenumber.ca

Bump? Any Canadians Rogers customers out there?
have you tried changing your user agent?
i have been running this on my samsung captivate.
the app is annoying as it gives constant birthday notifications for all contacts from email, social networks and phone. even after clearing the notification it comes back. a bug im sure will be fixed someday.
the pc app is not bad.. allows you to send receive calls on pc, though it operates through a web portal using web browser. though not needing web page open to receive calls because of try app doenst make it horrible.
even though the app runs on my phone, i am unable to transfer calls from pc to phone as is supposed to do. but does ring my main phone number on both my phone #s (and pc) at same time! *as long as pc client is running, as it uses client to ring all other numbers.
this is super handy when i forget my phone at home but have my 3g enabled netbook in my truck. i am still able to get calls, texts, and contact info wirelessly!
DISCLAIMER!! - using rogers one number on a mobile PC/laptop will give INCORRECT 911 location info unless you are at home or the address you register for one number service!
APK files
Could someone please post the apk files? Thx
I get the same msg from Rogers, but I think it's wrong.
However, it won't let me access the files for it.
So plz post them...thank you
I run CM7 on my N1 and everything seemed to work fine for me. I installed the app so that I could sync my contacts, but then uninstalled it as I didn't see the point of having it on my phone.
I can now use a computer to text and call... but I never really do.

Similar here, uninstalled the onenumber app on phone after sync.
Only tried to transfer call from phone to PC and it works seamlessly (essentially PC client is taking over the call)
Never tried to send a call from PC to phone, or ring multiple numbers of sorts.
Free call from PC using my number is the best use for me (and I think the whole purpose of this service for Rogers is customer retention & offload traffic to the internet) but I am still exploring.
On the side note... I dream the day IP calling will become mainstream and appropriately priced, for better use of the spectrum, etc. (See the article on the Verge "Phoning it in: the dirty secret of IP calling, and how it will change the phone industry")
i was having the same error as op when the One number first came out
APK would be nice if someone has time to post it.
The OSX app is good, I use it to find out about incoming texts. However, if I send out a text via the Rogers One OSX app then my phone does not show it in the "Sent" area.
For those with the Android app running, does sending from your computer get synced up with your phone?
Nope, doesn't sync back to my phone for me.

I haven't tried it but if it's VZW related I will not put it on my device, I don't trust them.
I have used it on my PC.
When you first run it, it takes a while to download the last 3 months worth of text messages to/from your account....
...which in itself is scary....
I used it as my primary Texting App because it makes it effortless to sync across to my Tablet, and also allow texting from my Tablet. I don't trust Verizon either, but this is a dang good program. Put it on my spouses phone and tablet as well. Plus, I flash my phone(s) often and this actually syncs all SMS and MMS.

I suspect it's when the other party is using the messages app vs. the stock SMS app. The friend that I was chatting with earlier when I spotted this is coming over shortly, so I'll see whether she's using the stock messaging app, or "Verizon Messages".

Thank you for the link. I was unaware that this even existed! Downloading it now to play with it - whoot!
So my friend is using an S5 with the Messages+ app set as default SMS app on her phone. They must've done that from the factory?
I'm willing to bet this is in preparation for the move to VoLTE. (The messges+ app uses the internet to send messages vs. SMS messaging which is carried on the 1x network)
