Weird sms problem.

Hi there,
Not sure if this is the right place to be asking this question but i'll give it a try.
I am running handcent on my incredible for handling my sms, I have this odd problem where handcent just stopped recognizing messages from one of my contacts. Is there anyway to get it to start recognizing it again?
This happened to me back in june and I ended up resetting the phone to get it back working again. I really don't want to do that. My phone isn't rooted or anything so everything on it is stock. any suggestions would be great.

I had a similar issue once and it was caused by the area code. I didn't have it listed as part of the number for my contact, IIRC.

I do have the area code listed, i also tried deleting the contact from my phone and recreate it.

Could you have possibly "blacklisted" the contact? If so, none of the SMS's will show up in the main screen until you Check off "Show Blacklist" in settings under Security and Privacy.

That's what it was. i have not idea how he got on my black list, looks like i had a few other contacts black listed as well. Figures it was something so simple.

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."

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?

[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.

Installing Whatsapp on Nexus 7

Noticed nobody has asked this yet.
I've done a bit of searching and there seems to be a clunky way to do this involving an old SIM card (so Whatsapp doesn't throw a hissy fit when it has two clients connected to the same phone number) and using TitaniumBackup after rooting the device.
Is there any way to do it without rooting our Nexus 7s? As an owner of a Galaxy S2 with CM9 I have no issues rooting my device, I just wondered if there was a way to do it without?
Thanks for any help people!

Bump, also very interested!

That would be a me too...

I had to kweak the process a little bit because WhatsApp wouldn't let me use the CALL option.
I had the confirmation code send as a text message to the phone number (to another phone).
Now it works like charm! :highfive:
I am really HAPPY with my Nexus 7 now! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I actived it by another phone. Just find any phone got text n call function. I entered number of that phone to whatsapp on nexus 7, then take code from that phone n input it to nexus 7. It work for me.
It work with Viber n LINE too.

based on betamale link to the android-hilfe.de forum.
I've got it working without root.
Required apps -
1. Whatsapp apk (must be the absolute latest from the play store - to download the apk from the play store, see http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
[UPDATE: Step 1 - NOW, may not work and you will have to source for the apk...just request in this thread, someone will most likely put one up or there are other "locations" to consider!]
2. Appguard apk (see http://www.backes-srt.de/produkte/srt-appguard/)
Install whatsapp.apk
Install appguard.apk
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"
Setting up Whatsapp
You must have gotten a 3-digit verification code from whatsapp. I got this by using a mobile phone, setting my landline as the number and got Whatsapp to call me with the 3-digit verification code.
With verification code and the phone number (my landline) ready -
Now open/run Whatsapp.
Enter the phone number (used to get the 3-digit verification code).
Select the three-dots tab to enter the code.
Enter 3-digit code.
Whah-lah! whatsapp on Nexus 7.
Additional info.
1. With my mobile phone (with a working whatsapp installation), I made a backup of the whatsapp application and data (data backup is really all that is required). From settings clear whatsapp data. Started whatsapp to register with my landline for the 3-digit verification code. Once I got the voice message, I reinstalled my mobile phone whatsapp data to reinstate my daily whatsapp installation.
2. When registering with the "new number", whatsapp will attempt to "text" the number. It'll time out and offer the option for you to be "called". You'll need to wait 1 minute to activate the request for whatsapp to call with the code.
3. With Appguard, I believe, you can install appguard then install whatsapp. Appguard will then detect the "new" application installation (whatsapp) and offer the option to set the permissions for newly detect application installations.
4. After everything is working, I'd gone on to remove Appguard and test sending and receiving with whatsapp. Whatsapp still works (I uninstalled application did not clear appguard data).
5. Not tested - Hope this is persistent after restarting the Nexus 7.

I'm assuming you want two differently whatsapp identity.
You can use your current sim but will need a different number with which whatsapp can text or call you with a 3-digit verification code (I used my landline number).
You should make a backup of the whatsapp data (I used mybackup). Then in Settings, clear whatsapp data on your HTC Desire. Open whatsapp and you'll go through the process to register a phone number (don't use your HTC phone number...use a landline number or use another sim) and have it text or call you with the 3-digit verification code.
When you've got the 3-digit verification code, you can restore your whatsapp data and you'd now have restored your HTC Desire's whatsapp data linked to your HTC Desire simcard.
Next is the Nexus 7 installation process - follow my detailed process posted to this discussion.

I had some trouble too
First of all ... Thx ultrawires for the work/help! :good:
Everything regarding the installation and preparation steps is described perfectly.
I had the same issue with Whatsapp like some others described it here. When I did hit the CALL button (after the verification via text didn't work) I got an pop up telling that I had to many times tried to get an activation code and so I can not use the voice verification and I should contact support via email ... bla bla bla
It took me a while to figure out a workaround.
What I did...
I signed up for a n online phone number (one that you can receive txt messages with!).
I had this online phone number homepage open on my laptop in front of me.
I have an old, no longer used, android phone (with a german :silly: prepaid card in it and connected to my home Wifi).
I uninstalled whatsapp (clearing data) and reinstalled Whatsapp.
I started the setup of Whatsapp on the old phone using my online phone number up to the point when you send the data the first time....
Next to me I had my Nexus 7 (prepared like described by ultrawires).
I started the setup of whatsapp on the nexus using the same voice phone number up to the point when you send the data the first time....
FIRST I started the verification process on my old phone....
THEN I received the text message with the verification code on my online phone homepage...
THEN I started the verification process on my nexus... it failed (of course)
THEN I used the three-dots tab (right bottom - took me hours to find it!!!) to enter the code.
and WhatsApp is working perfectly WITHOUT ROOTING the Nexus 7!
If you don't have an old phone I guess you can do it like ultrawires described in his Additional info. 1. by making a backup of whatsapp on your actual phone, ... do the process ... and re-install the original version.
It might even work with the CALL option on a regular working phone without having all this online phone number thing.
to sum it up:
- you need a phone to do a new WhatsApp installation on it
- you have to use a different phone number, on which you can receive calls or text messages
- prepare, install and setup Whatsapp on your tablet (nexus 7) using the code you received via phone call or text message
Hope this helps!
I haven't uninstalled AppGuard yet.
@ultrawires
Did you restore all the permissins for Whatsapp before you uninstalled AppGuard?
I know it is a little bit confusing...
But you can be sure it works ... somehow...
... and for me this makes my nexus 7 really PERFECT!
ENJOY!

I have a small question expect people to respond. Applications installed on the android phone will run in full-screen mode so install them on the Android tablet specific here is Nexus 7, the application can run in full-screen mode?

Big problem with IM's (viber and whatsapp) and push notifications

MY girlfriend bought this phone a month ago.
There were problems from the start - sometimes, but rarely, she didnt receive notifications from both IM's she is using, Viber and Whatsapp. Only when she enters the app, she sees that there are actually new messages - I checked Emotion UI settings for Battery manager and both apps are protected from the start (should work in the background). It wasnt such a big deal until today when she noticed that not a single message (7 viber and 2 whatsapp messages) didnt "go through" and only when the app is opened, she sees the message received. On top of that, problem got even bigger in the evening - in the middle of chat session, she doesnt even receive messages, until certain delay. I checked, it was not mobile data/wifi issue as everything else was working fine, one phone next to another, I send her a message and her's phone doesnt receive, while her phone is pretty much able to run a 1080p video from YT
Any solution to this .. ? she needs Viber very much as her work group from her job uses Viber extensively and she cant afford to miss new messages
tried: restarting, checking for EUI blocking apps, checked data/wifi for always ON on sleep, checked everything there is ..
pls help XDA!

Have u allowed notifications? Go to settings/apps and find whatsapp there.Tap on Notifications and Allow Notifications.

I have this same problem with others apps I tried ever everything, I think it's problem with Huawei optimizations (same says others, maybe this will be fixed in Android N).

i had a similar problem with my other apps...i just made them system apps... you need root for it, but no problems since

I Dont have any such issue.I Have tried sending Whatsapp message on my phone from another phone and it gave me notification instantly.

I'm using Viber, Telegram and whatsapp on this phone and I don't have such issues.... I'm not using any of the battery management or optimization apps by the way.

I have the same problem and still found no solution... In WhatsApp, you can see the when it goes off on your mobile - just open the desktop WhatsApp version on your PC and wait until a message saying something like "your mobile is not connected" appears.

What battery profile are you using? It looks like Smart is affected by this problem, while Performance is not. I guess it somehow breaks the GCM service used to deliver push notifications for those apps.

Guys found a solution for the problem but need somebody to test to confirm. I connect VPN with opera max or other VPN app and then i get notifications as normal with mobile data. Anybody who can try and see if it works for them too?

I've had the same issue with mine since I got it. In my case I'm not using WhatsApp but Ebay and Amazon Seller apps. So that means that the problem is the phone, not something specific to any app. I often get a backlog of notifications when I unlock it, all at once.
I've tried every bit of advice offered in this thread and elsewhere. I'm now trying the Opera Max app - it could well be a useful work-around. I suppose if something changes the way it communicates by adding a proxy then it may be enough to bypass whatever thing is causing the problem, hopefully just until Huawei get round to actually fixing this widespread problem.

Hello!
Regarding push notifications issue i have some news.
- on P9 Lite, VNS-L21, new stock with B114 firmware, whatsapp, skype, gmail - works fine on both profiles (smart and performance)
- after a few days i make update from B114 to B120, B131 and B151 firmware and that issue appear only at whatsapp (skype and gmail work fine)
- first workaround was to maintain active whatapp application when device enter in sleep, simply start application and notifications appears.
- second workaround is to revert firmware to B114 version on wich my device work fine with whatsapp.
- final workaround is in Huawei yard....
PS: if whatsapp is closed notifications appear when i open application, not when i wake up device...

My firmware is VNS-L31C432B130 which I installed manually, using the procedure on this forum. I did this to enable the second SIM, as for some stupid reason they disable this feature on UK phones, and Carphone Warehouse don't tell you about it when you order one.
It looks like it's pretty widespread though - there seem to be lots of reports on the web, so I don't think I've caused this problem.

I got a notification from the eBay App over 2 hours late this morning, after I installed Opera Max the other day. It's possible that this was an error at ebay's end though - their IT systems can be quite random sometimes anyway, so I wouldn't take this as evidence that Opera Max doesn't fix the problem! There are far too many variables in the chain to conclude anything really.
However, I've just manually updated the firmware from VNS-L31C432B130 to VNS-L31C432B151. I've checked and all my app and performance power settings are still set OK.
If my phone now starts working properly then I won't know whether Opera Max or the firmware update fixed it. If so then I'll try uninstalling Opera Max so I can report back here on it.

Update: after a few reinstall of B122, B131 and B151 firmware, notifications of whatsapp works again properly, but now i have problem of syncing yahoo mail account (sync error)....
