How WhatsApp treats users of Ubuntu Touch.

So we all know alot of people use whatsapp, and that many ubuntu touch users would like to see whatsapp on there. But be careful when you ask about it from whatsapp devs. This might happen to you too.
[Would have been pic here but was not able to add it, look at the attachment]
Personally i like Ubuntu Touch on my Aquaris and i find Telegram great software. Just wanted to bring this incident to everybodys attention and hopefully people choose the better one.

WoW their response says it all.

I stopped using it some time ago.
You gave me a good reason to never go back.
Thank you.

Followup. Question if this is way to treat customers has been sent to whatsapp support including the picture on 19.5.2015. Still today there haven't been any answer.
Only response from them was the automatic system apologizing nobody taking contact.

That's sad, but are there any popular alternatives to what's app?

Follow-up
Late follow-up to the situation.
Whatsapp support is unable (or unwilling) to do anything.
On the situation, where only email address is banned from their support they are asking for number to be associated to the ticket.
Hard to see any reason why they would need number for anything. So the situation remains unresolved.
Also. Feel free to share the word.

Whatsapp
I asked a similar question, the reply was that they will not comment on development status/issues...

i am not surprised.

yes, it's about how many people use it.
i like what i see on telegram.org, but i'm always wary when it looks so professional & claims to be 100% non-profit at the same time...
also, their user base probably doesn't include my and your (non-nerdy) friends.

How about we get a device for a developer?

Hey guys!
When it comes to getting AOSP/CM ported to the P9 Lite,we are "attached to another object by an inclined plane and wrapped helically around an axis" because we don't have an actual dev who owns the phone itself.
Well,how about this cutesy suggestion?
What do you guys think about making a sort of a kickstarter to get a phone for an excellent dev? The same thing was done for my previous phone,the Alcatel Idol 3 5.5,and it will get a pretty much fully functional CM13 build despite Alcatels disguisting modifications which broke many things in CM(similar story with Huawei and CM).
I already have a few devs in mind,but I think it is better to first ask if we can actually make it.
And I bet I am not the only one thinking it is a much better idea to actually put our heads together and get a phone to a capable person than to give donations to individuals(like me or others) who smack into a wall in every turn while trying to get CM/AOSP to work.
I made this thread just to see if there actually is a good number of people who are interested, soooo...whoever can contribute,feel free to drop a reply!

Good idea!
That is such a good idea! I would love to see CM13 on the P9 lite since I love CM more than EMUI, I would donate and I hope it's gonna work out!

+1! I'd love having Cyanogenmod for P9 lite. I'd donate but for under a few conditions such as full support, debugging, etc. I'd love to see Resurrection Remix for P9 lite, that would be amazing!

first we need a dev who will accept this... but i don't think people will donate... in the old days, maybe... but now users just take the devs for granted and they want everything free... like they deserve it... but hey... maybe I'm wrong... count me in

I have a few devs in mind,they are all extremely capable,but we need to get the fond of around 300$,right?
Even if we don't hit 300$,if we gather even 150$,it will make it easier and more compelling for the dev to buy the device.
We can also ask the Honor 5C owners,since they can literally use the CM source of the P9 lite(the p8 Lite uses the cm builds of the Honor 4C,they are identical inside). They will probably be willing to help as well.
EDIT
There,made a thread there as well!

Love the idea. Would donate too but how do we know that the money really goes to the dev?

I did it for the Idol 3 users and it worked fine.
As far as I know,the fund raiser is linked to the receiver,and when a sufficient amount is gathered,the money can be pulled.
The Recognized Dev is Meticulus.

Ok, as far as I can see we are now 4 donators: Thijs van Hal, The Marionette, Memovic and me. Ten donators who spend 30 dollars would be ok in my opinion. How can we arrive more people here. I saw this topic just per coincidence.

This is a good idea afterall. I will contribute if needed

So are there only four persons who want tho donate?? If we gather 6 persons it would also be nice.. so everyone would have to pay 50 euro. We need two more persons

I hope the Honor 5C users decide to help out. They can use the cm source for the p9 lite, everything will work and vice versa.
I think the Honor 5c is cheaper,so we are better off getting it instead. They are the same phones on the inside,they just have different outer bodies.

Hello everyone,
gofundme.com is not going to work for me. I prefer to use paypal and gofundme does not work with paypal. I suggest that you just use the "Donate to me" button and I'll keep a public tally until the goal amount is reached. About $260.
Looking forward to working on this device...

If it's possible to be done also by paypal, why not? That could more compelling for some more people.

Yeah,since Go Fund Me doesn't work with Paypal anymore(people can donate over it,but the funds can't be withdrawn over Paypal),so it is far easier to just donate through the "Donate to me" button.

There is still no answer in the Honor 5C forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5c/help/how-device-developer-t3455496
First we need enough persons who donate. If the users Abdulla7 and Nomatrix want to spend too we are 6 donators. That would mean 50 dollars for each person.
My suggestion is: Each User spends 50 Dollar over PayPal. If the other users are not donating within one week everybody takes his / her money back (Buyer protection of paypal). But is it even possible to claim your money back in paypal after one week?

I'm not going to take your money. :laugh: I will refund the money if the goal amount is not reached. :good:

@Meticulus
You're signing up for an awesome (???) experience with developing on Kirin SoC. Wish you good luck!
And why people hit the CM forum for development requests. They just act like if the developers are getting paid by them to develop ROMs.

Huawei Mate 9 vs. Huawei Mate 9 Pro video comparison

Fellow XDA members I just uploaded my latest video of the Mate 9 vs the Mate 9 Pro, I have loads more videos coming up for case's, accessories, comparisons, tests and tip's for both devices. In this video I discuss the difference between the 2, enjoy
Mod Edit

Dude I've just found your Chanel yesterday by "accident" looking for some good cases on YouTube. MAN hands down, one of the best tech channels out there! Not a lot of people do high end and Huawei, Xiaomi, etc.. reviews! Also other tech, nice to have someone like that on YouTube tech field.
You're really good. Honest, detailed, No bul** Sir, I am impressed.

Your video comparison was very helpful for me. Now i know which one is suitable, mate 9 pro.
thanks man

Great video. Tempted greatly by the Mate 9 Pro, but I'll wait until we get more info on the P10 specs. At the moment the camera on that looks like a step backwards.

I was in the Honor 5X USA beta test group for some time when the phone was announced in the states. I would say consumers are always listened to by Huawei. I reported bugs and complaints during the time, and everything was fixed quickly thereafter. The team leaders really wanted to know every aspect of how I feel about their products. They chat with me and other testers through Google Hangout and through personal emails. But there always be some limited resources and dedicated time for the team to talk to so many customers. In reality, if you put yourself at the position of the company and the developers, it is almost impossible for the team to keep track of every post here, at least.
I think it is a good chance to exchange information with the Honor team by applying to the beta test team if you really care about the development of Honor phones and software. If you cannot join the beta test team, let us know on the forum, I'd be more than happy to forward your word to the Honor team to improve the products and services for the future releases if I get accepted as a tester for the Honor 8 product line. I hope they will be reaching out to people in a broader region, but if not, XDA is a good interconnecting region.
Cheers!

I applied, we'll see. I somehow made it into an online beta focus group for AXE products (which I despise) about a decade ago, I enjoy doing that type of thing.

Why should any body on XDA do anything to help Honor ?
Honor made an aggreement with XDA saying that the Honor 8 was going to be a great phone for us when you know that what we want in a phone is updates and prompt response to releasing kernel source code.
You guys have done neither.
I'm running my Honor 8 on EMUI 5 with it's stock 380 update.
This update is terrible.
It's buggy and the battery life is terrible.
We have been asking for you to release kernel source code for months now and have received no answer.
Were stuck on an outdated version of EMUI 5.
You have released EMUI 5.1 but won't give it to us.
It's now April and were stuck on January security patch.
Honor you do your bit and then you can ask us to help you.
John
If you looking on XDA then you must have read just how unhappy people are.
You must have read the ROM's and kernel's thread and must have read how close we are in getting a fully working Lineage 14.1 and must have read how if you released your EMUI 5 kernel source code.
If you reading all this why are you not helping ?

@op that survey has nothing to do with the Honor 8. Stop spamming and get to the real matter as others have advised, we need quicker turn around for updates and Hotfixes be it Honor/Huawei or Google Hotfixes. Kernel source CODE is badly needed ASAP we need at least a engineer from Honor to help out in the Freedom of building Roms which install and run properly..
All in all its a great phone but socks like many Honor / Huawei devices for support...

Seems like huawei are in race releasing new devices rather maintaining an updates for their devices.
I think now they're only cared about how much of their devices sale's.

That's exactly what's going on.
All these manufacturers want is to sell phones.
If they just took a step back and looked at what Google do different that sell so many phones.
Release source code and updates promptly

Start making good on your promises and maybe you'll get some help. It would be one thing if Honor had never promised anything, then it would just be an unfortunate delay. The problem is that Honor said that certain things would happen and they have never happened.

Doing the path of Xiaomi. They went from n.1 seller in China to down the table. Only pleasing the stockholders is a short term vision. They had probably the lowest customer retention in the last years.

Nope, one way communication.

Whatever, honor and Huawei don't actually care about the north American market other than sales.
Well, that's fine. We'll show them the same dedication by simply not buying anymore Huawei or honor devices.
Lots of other great manufacturers out there making excellent devices, and actually stick to their promises.
