Hello Guys,
First I just want to say I love the forum, read many threads on here last night and despite being a total noob to flashing, developing etc I thought I'd have ago and flashing my G1.
Well it went well, love the new software, but I have one problem - I can't download from the Market place - whatever application I choose to download just stays as 'downloading' but nothing actually comes down - my data connection works just fine, with normal internet browsing working normally.
I wonder if anyone could make a suggestion - please find my phone set up data
HTC G1/Dream
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband version 62.505.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version 2.6.34-cyanogenmod
Mod Version CyanogenMod-5.0.8-DS
Build Number EPE54B
Thanks again!
Also noticed that despite inside the notifications menu, I have the LED turned on - when I receive a text the light doesn't flash?
Thanks
Ok, thats one problem fixed - the issue with downloads looks like a Marketplace issue - so that's all good!
So, just one other thing - when voicemails or texts are received the light doesn't flash - even though I've got it set up correctly in the settings....
Anyone else with this problem or have any tips?
The notificaton LEDs only work when the screen is off. You really don't need them when it's on.
Sure, but even when my screen is off and I get a text the LED doesn't blink.
Try checking that the missed call LED is checked under call settings.
All of a sudden without doing anything at all, it's working now - very odd.
This new OS is pretty Juicy on the battery, but not sure if its the fact I've been getting to know it all day.
A bug found by the looks of things - none of my contacts will save?
I've added the same person 3 times and it says saving contacts but when I got back in to contacts it isn't there .......anyone offer some suggestion(s)?
I've tried to synch with google and nothing happens - why doesn't the contact save to the phone or SIM? I'm not overly interested in storing contacts on Google - the standard firmware for the phone stores them on the phone/sim - where in the settings does it dictate where a contact is stored to ?
Thanks
Solved, the contact wasn't displayed as some of the boxes under contact settings weren't ticked - why on earth would I want to "hide" my contacts?? Oh well ......thanks

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 ,

Hi,
I have rooted my Nook Simple Touch using the latest version of touchnooter and also installed the latest version of WhatsApp from Android Market. Everything went smoothly, from installation to verification of my mobile number and subsequent chatting with friends even. However, the problem is as such:
When I turn off my wifi router, thereby cutting off internet access, a pop up will appear and the exact quote is as follows: "Connection failed! This usually occurs if you have installed WhatsApp on another device with the same phone number. Please reverify your number." It then gives me the option to reverify my mobile number again. I would then have to reconnect to wifi and reverify.
Also, if I were to start WhatsApp, then switch to another app (e.g.: Opera to do web browsing), the pop up will appear after a while of using another app, but not immediately though.
Another case is if I use a task manager to kill WhatsApp, and restart it again, it will also request for me to reverify again.
Just to clarify, I have never registered my mobile number for WhatsApp on any other device except my Nook Simple Touch.
I don't mind having to reverify my number everytime I disconnect and reconnect my wifi, but I have read online that if reverification is done too many times, the WhatsApp servers might permanently block you from reverifying again. Also, if you try to reverify more than twice in a short span of time, it will ask you to wait a certain number of minutes before reverification can be done again.
Does anyone have a working solution to this problem? Anyone has a working WhatsApp on a NST that doesn't ask for reverification constantly?
Thanks a lot.
i had the same problem while ago, then i stop to using it. it would be cool to have a solution for that..

It's gotta be about IMEI.
I don't remember for sure, but AFAIR, nook generates new IMEI every time.
There is fix to make framework to return same IMEI.
Try to search Nook Color for IMEI fix.
Mali100 ported it to NST, I think...
I suspected it was the IMEI causing WhatsApp to ask for constant reverification too, but come to think of it, when WhatsApp is installed on the computer using Youwave, or on the iPod touch, somehow it doesn't happen. Computers and iPod touch do not have IMEI numbers too, but WhatsApp seems to be able to work flawlessly on them. Any idea whether the IMEI numbers generated by them are always the same number? Also, this problem happens whenever I turn on and off my wifi connection or switch to using another app for too long a time, so does it mean that the Nook randomly generates a new IMEI when I do the above actions? Thanks.

I really don’t know if it’s IMEI or not, I thought it might be.
It’s possible WhatsApp uses different methods on different platform to detect device.
If you switch to using another app for too long a time, it’s possible WhatsApp got unloaded completely.
When it starts again it got another IMEI.
If you feel to investigate further – ddms may shed some light or you can try IMEI patch.
Don’t forget to backup your nook.
Thanks to everyone! I finally got WhatsApp working perfectly on NST and WhatsApp indeed determines whether you have changed your device based on your IMEI number. The NST randomly generates a different IMEI every time it is being asked for one, causing the need to reverify constantly. The only problem now is the inability to add contacts. But a simple workaround is to get your friends to add you on WhatsApp first, then you can chat with them.
I would appreciate if anyone could teach me how to enable contacts.apk to work on NST, instead of social.apk being run whenever I hit the contacts app in my app drawer. This would allow us to add our contacts as WhatsApp friends and start a chat with them.
These are the steps I took to get WhatsApp working.
1) I downloaded the latest version of IMEI fix from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766
I must say that it is a really neat program, a big thank you to DizzyDen for this app!
2) I enabled adbWireless on my NST.
3) I ran the !IMEIme.exe on my computer and selected "Update Device", followed by "Generate".
4) Just follow the instructions onscreen and try to reverify (hopefully for the last time...) WhatsApp after everything is done.
5) Enjoy!
wow thats nice. also try go contact ex. it shows my google contacts there and u can add contacts..
edit: i did it, worked but after reboot, it asked to reverify again. did i do it wrong or is it general behaviour?
edit2: now im sure, i got an imei but it changes instantly. i checking with android system info and whenever i open it, it shows a different imei, cant we force it to use same imei on every time?

Nope, mine works perfectly fine with no more reverifications, even after I reboot, turn on/off my wifi or run other apps. I even installed CWM just now and my WhatsApp still remains. Yes, I think your IMEI wasn't fixed properly. To check, you can go to Android Market and search for the app "Show Me My IMEI". Install it, and when you run the app, you can constantly tap on "Show Me My IMEI!" button and see if it changes constantly with each tap. If it does, that means the IMEI fix isn't working. For mine, when I keep tapping the button, it shows me the same IMEI number over and over again, even after rebooting, killing all tasks using tasks manager and running the Show Me My IMEI app again, my IMEI still stays the same, although my IMEI is a weird 17 digit number with dashes at random places in between (ie: xx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxx).
Try running the fix again. The version of the fix I downloaded is "!IMEIme(2.1).zip". Unzip it and run the program following the steps in my previous post, and you should be able to get a fixed IMEI.
Just to add, I've tested WhatsApp functionality by going to different places in my country and logging to to different wireless hotspots and so far I have never been asked to reverify again. I am also able to chat with my friends and receive their messages just fine.
About the contacts, i've tried copying GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk to system/app and installed GO Contacts EX but I still can't get contacts to work after following one of the forum threads online.
still no luck on imeime. tried bunch of times with all different program settings. it says your devices already has an imei, it will use that etc, but its changes. i tried to clear the dalvik chace, didnt go. even i roll back my 1month old restore and tried again. the program is keep saying your device has imei. really annoying.
may i ask which firmware version do u use? maybe something about it.
This only started recently, but I can't send SMS through Google Now voice commands, which is nice to be able to do while driving. So maybe Google is trying to kill me? Anyway, whenever I tell it to text someone, it tells me "No SMS app installed" I couldn't find anyone else who had this issue.
should I roll back to a previous version of Now, find a new SMS app, or find a new way to send text using voice commands?
UPDATE: Using a different SMS app does not work, I installed 5 different apps and even tried Hangouts, that isn't the problem
same here
I just started having the same issue on samsung gs3. watching this post to see if anyone resolves.
I've got the same problem here with note 1
Someone please help! Having read the very little amount of content I can find so far, I am extremely concerned that somehow some or all of my text messages are being relayed to an email account via the Service (SmsRelayService) that is running under the app Exchange Services.
I don't seem to be able to find anything conclusive, but what I have found is that it is likely to be relaying text messages to an Exchange Account?
I can stop the Service and it stays 'stopped' until a text message is received and it starts running again.
Now have a Note 4, having upgraded because my last handset appeared to have been tampered with and was also behaving in this manner, as well as my Google Location History recording me in places that I never was. On that handset there were even more questionable apps running, one of which appeared to be some form of spyware when searched in Google!
Is there any way that you can dig deep into the operating system of the device and see what is going on?
Is there any way of identifying is my suspicions and those of others that I have seen post similar stories are correct?
One of the reasons I started to question it initially and then look into it was because I was receiving overly descriptive and some unnecessary text messages from someone and at the same time, another device nearby was demonstrating email notification sounds!
Not only that, but certain things that I had not discussed with certain people, but had discussed over text with others (in no way related or connected) were being brought up!
Help please.... is SmsRelayService under the app Exchange Services something to be worried about?????
I was also shocked by the lack of information on this "SmsRelayService" There are tunz of questions out there about it.
After much research and messing with my phone I feel the service is stock BUT can be hijacked by some unknown application to send all texts to a 3rd party. My x was getting my text messages somehow. In her email account i found she had set up a service on her own phone first to test and she would receive every text on the phone and also location. I assume she set it up on her own phone first to figure it out then she put it on my phone. I have a rooted phone with a custom rom. strangely the SmsRelayService had permission for EVERYTHING on my phone. From sms to photos and every single admin right possible. I doubt this is normal for that service. my custom Rom has a "App ops" menu that shows what the service has used or not. In my case it looks like she was only accessing my sms messages. Killing the service did not help as when a new text came in it started back up and accessed the new messages. Once i removed all the permissions for "SmsRelayService" in the "App ops" menu i no longer had the problem of the service accessing the texts. Without this menu option i don’t know how i would have stopped it. I'd assume there is an app or process killer out there that would have been able to shut it down but it'd take someone else with a normal rom to let us know.
in my case I’m lucky it was only sms's. It looks as though whatever she put on my phone was only getting sms's. the app having access to all rights on the phone a better or more in depth spy app/program could have accessed much more. Only spying my sms activity i did not notice ANY extra battery drain. Also this app is known with Microsoft exchange and that messes up a lot of the research. I have never setup any other account but a gmail account so without a link there i don’t know why else it'd been activated in the first place if not for a spy app. I'll try and post back in a few weeks after i'v been able to see if she suddenly doesn’t have information that she shouldn’t know.
