Can you get an itemised bill from your carrier? they usually list all the out going calls you have made

Vodafone Romania provides all your calls and sms info if you have an account on their site, if your provider has this option it would be easy for you to identify the number, but i guess you don't have that option, since you would have already though of that.

i recently changed my network. i am currently on prepaid plan(was waiting for a next gen nexus to come to the network before i sign a contract). I think asking them to send me a bill would be too much hassle(the number is worth the hassle but i was looking for a more immediate results) that is if i successfully manage to get through to a human being on what they call their 'customer service'.
Hi everyone!
Is there a way to make Whatsapp usable on our device? It gives me an error saying "not supported on tablets".
I already googled a bit but found no workaround, anyone got a tip for me?
regards
banane
There may be a workaround, but I think Whatsapp requires a phone number, therefore only works on phones.
I have been able to get this to work but I cant add any more
contacts. The contact list here just wont update my google contacts.
I had a galaxy tab. So I just used titanium back up. Made a back up copy
of whatsapp and put it in the sd card. Moved the sd card and used titanium
back up to restore whatsapp. It worked but I cant add any new contacts.
nice, thank you. I´ll give that a try!
i already tried to copy the databases from my phone so it wouldn´t check for the device type but that didn´t work :/
I´ll report back
Thank you BryanSo it worked!
Maybe its worth noting that one should delete the whatsapp folder on the sdcard and reboot the device after uninstalling whatsapp (if you tried before like me).
have you been able to update your contacts?
unfortunately not
Ah well same problem I guess. I least its working.
How do you backup and restore the app? I tried with titanium backup but when it was restoring on the noon it started but then appeared to hang. Any suggestions, chaps?

I haven't android phone, how can do this done?
Thanks.
Hmm i couldnt get it to work via installing any .apk, i would upload you my titanium backup but then you would only have my contacts and that would not be that good :/
I tried several methods to get it to work without backing it up and restoring it from an other android device but none of them worked.
Maybe one could try to edit the contacts database (data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/wa_contacts.db) via commandline. Otherwise you would need an Android device that has your contacts to backup from.
I´m on holiday at the moment so you´d have to try it yourself or wait until thursday next week.

Thanks for your help. Wishing you a Beautiful Holiday Season.
So, can someone post the apk or backup from titanium, I don't know, is there ay way to get this to work for the community?
I have no idea how to make it for community. Because during activation you need your phone number to be there. What i did for my wife NT is
- on SGT with simA ti backup my whatsapp, then move it somewhere else.
- uninstall whatsapp on SGT (just to deregister)
- change to simB, reinstall whatsapp, and activate whatsapp with simB
- tibackup, copy app+data to NT
- restore in NT
- cleanup SGT and put back simA along with its whatsapp app+data
And now i can whatsapp SGT-NT with my wife using my and her own number.
Drawback is my whatsapp contact get carried along to my wife's, hence i said i cant make a community shared apk.
but as long as she can still populate her own whatsapp contact it doesnt matter.
She uses go contacts btw.
LINE is applicable in the same manner.
If you want easier, use VIBER. Activation by sms doesnt need to be in same device.
Too bad mic audio routing needs to be fixed first, otherwise i can call my wife for free on VIBER.
. . . i use xda app for gtab. . .
hi guys
Just heared some news about whatsapp. They say it is possible to run and let whatsapp work on the prime witout fonecard
Seems to work with copy some files from a rooted fone inmycase htc sensation.
Since i use most of times whats app would be a nice thing.
Also a remark hen installed whatsapp on the htc with a dutch fone card and went to china whatsapp say working under the dutch number al the time. Probably whatsapp onlylook to the number for first time install. And when change card allkeeps working.............
Has someone solutions for this rumour. And howh about the contacts?
Thnx in advance
That would be nice if there is an opinion to get whattsapp working on the prime
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
yeah would bevery nice but must be a trick when iitial instalation and copy and paste some files from the fone as i heared but have no idea how to do it.
I've read that someone has got it to work by backing up Whatsapp from their phone using Titanium Backup then just restoring it on their tablet (not a TF201 but in theory it shouldn't matter).
Obviously this would require that both phone and tablet are rooted.
Can this be tested by someone?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I did it with Titanium but have no one to test it with.
i can give it a try. Have a htc sensation.
And the prime
did a back up from whatsapp with titanium on my htc.
Found 3 files-
In de titanium backup folder.
1. Com.whatsapp with a number.properties
2. Com.whatsapp witth a number.star.gz
3. Com.whatsapp with a number.apk.gz
Put the files in dropbox andere put them in the titaniumbackup folder on prime.
Titanium see the backup but when try to set it back half way super user is refused when try set back the data
Also when try set back data only superuser get refused.
Set back the program works oke.
I tryed to make a back up from the not working whatsapp and used those numbers to change the gz files from the sensation and gave them the same number. Also here it say super user refused.............
Maybe do something wrong? It keeps coming cant find unique identification code?when start up whatsapp!!!!
The problem seems how set the data or we need another trick.
Any other smart ideas?
Whats next?
Doesn't it whinge if you try to run it over two devices though? I tried running it on my Galaxy S2 and a Windows 7 Phone, telling me I had to uninstall and reinstall it on my S2 for it to work properly again.
well it works on the htc fine but cant get it working on the prime!!!!!!
So have no clue for next idea to try.........
got it working!!!!!!
Well finaly got it working.
Like told above make a back up with titanium from running whatsapp from ur rooted android fone
Upload to dropbox
Get it down on prime
Install whats app on ur prime
And make a back up with titanium
Write down the numbers of the gz file.
Delete the back up gz files from theprime back up and put the changed files in the titatium back up folder.
Then set back up back.
In my posting above it not worked because i forgot to restart the prime!!!!!!!
After restart it start working when my gf send me whatsappssssssss
It seems wich used the last prime or fone is the master......
Still testing.
So both devices need root. I will Test this in an hour and post what happend
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
works oke but in my case only few whatsappcontacts are in it. Not all wich are i to my fone.
So seems needs some more experiments.
Also seems when send messages from one fone or the rime one of them takes over although i had miments when testing both rcieve messages same time.
For now only few contacts are in the prime. Not know hownti het more contacts in it from the fone.
Deffenitly whatsaap not refer to the fone card but to the number of the gz files
Hope some smarter guys will find out more
Grtz
It works but i don't have any Contacts
well just found out out you can put in new contactsyourself.....
contacts
Did some tests with contacts.
When set back the data with titanium all contacts are visible for a few seconds when start up whatsapp.
After few seconds only about 10 15 contacts are left cant find the answer on this.
Someone knows?
On the other hand when i do a testbwith my other phone number which has whatsapp, de number comes in on the prima and i can ad it by hold on the number into the whatsapp contacts with a name.
So its possible ad contacts but have to wait untill someone sends you a message. For the rest i tested it for few days now and it works perfect.
Hope someon has a bright idea to ad contacts without wait untill someone send a message to you.
Also sometimes get the whatsapp message on both fone and prime but in general on wich i am typing the messages come in.
Some people like to do some testing with me? Or can find out more?
NOTE: I would have preferred to post this in the dev thread, but alas, I am new to the forums (as a poster, not a reader)
[EDIT: To be clear, I know this wasn't caused by the ROM. But it did happen after flashing a popular ROM, and I thought it was relevant to mention which one. I'm very happy with SWG 2.23.]
Just wanted to warn people who are flashing Stock w Goodies or other ROMs and attempt to restore their SMS. I tried to restore my SMS data via My Backup Pro after flashing Stock w Goodies 2.23. My SMS stopped working altogether. I spent a significant amount of time on with Sprint tech support to resolve this issue after doing the following myself:
Update PRL
Update Profile
Factory Reset (via TWRP)
I then searched the web for this problem and found this solution (search for "cant-send-an-sms-on-your-android-ics-custom-rom-read-this" among others that describe the same process. Basically, it says to dial *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer to access a test mode (Phone Info) that lets you see your SMSC number along with GPS, data, and packet info. Mine was blank, and displayed an error when I selected "Update" and "Refresh." In any case, this didn't solve the problem.
So, Sprint had me do a data reset (##72786#) and enter a password. Didn't fix it. Then they did a bunch of crap on their side that also didn't work.
The solution that eventually worked was for them to reassign my MSID# (##261514# to edit on your phone), which had previously been my phone number (but usually isn't according to the tech). I checked the SMSC number afterward to confirm that this fix didn't just replace it via another method. The SMSC was still blank, so no change.
I can't be certain which process I did that screwed this up, but I'm near certain it was my attempt to restore SMS data after flashing the ROM. Either way, one should avoid restoring SMS via a backup app.
ive always restored sms
never had a problem
You should remove the name of the Rom from the thread.... Since this is a popular Rom known to be stable you're just adding negative feedback that isn't deserved... As well, backing up sms with apps has usually been painless for me.. But I've never used that particular app so I guess I can't be sure

I have never had an issue restoring sms messages when using any custom rom including flex's so you must have managed to screw something else up yourself.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I've never had an issue restoring sms or mms via mybackup. Except that it takes a lot longer than the built in backup, but that is not Rom related.
I know you probably tried a lot of troubleshooting, but to conclude that it was Stock with Goodies and publicly warn people was premature. Did you try flashing radios or some other update that if interrupted could damage phone?

I don't think that was my conclusion. But I edited the title and post to avoid confusion.
Since none of you have ever experienced this as a result of restoring SMS data, have you ever experienced an apparently spontaneous change in the MSID during a ROM flash or data restore? The thing I can't figure out is how it happened. Logic would suggest it was one of the operations I performed along with flashing the ROM. This is what I did:
Backup Data via My Backup Pro
Dirty Racun
Flash TWRP
Backup
Factory Reset
Flash Stock w Goodies
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Reboot
Restore Data (I restored SMS, MMS, etc. separately rather than as a batch, just because I didn't want my phone busy for that long.)
SMS was the only thing that broke. Anyway, I'm glad to confirm it wasn't the ROM and to know that I should be able to restore SMS just fine in the future. I appreciate the responses and the feedback. I thought maybe I had a problem others would want to avoid, and couldn't find this problem anywhere in the forums.
You should just use sms backup pro, its a seperate app, but it never gave me any problems, and titanium backup is good too.

I usually don't trust or like any of the root-enabled utilities to backup my text messages (TiBu, MyBackup, ROM Toolbox, etc). I've stuck with this since my first ever Android phone and it has never failed me. Ever.
I still have every single message from my original HTC Hero (not that I restore that backup, I don't want 50,000+ messages on my phone, I just keep it for backup purposes).
Stick with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
You can even set it on a schedule to make sure it backs up every x number of days/hours/minutes/whatever.
That's the one I'm talking about, its the best.

I'm on Stock w/ Goodies and never once had an issue backing up and restoring SMS/MMS using Titanium.
You said you used dirty racun for S-off before flashing ROM. I suspect that's what broke your data and required reprovision. Most everybody that used lazy panda for S-off got broken data and had to call sprint to reprovision, myself included, both times.
And I agree with the others , SMSbackupRestore is the best for this function.

How does someone get a restore of their Android ID? I am wanting to update to Build 14 of Jelly Beans, and Titanium Backup (which has been awesome for backing up my ID on previous phones) has borked and will not give me the 'we noticed that you have reset your phone, would you like to restore your old ID?'
I need to restore my old ID or Slacker Radio tells me I have registered a new device and I have to wait a month before I can start storing music channels on my phone, basically wasting a month's subscription (~9.99).
I found an app called 'Change hostname', but it doesn't appear to be able to add a specific hostname, but to randomly generate a new one, which is crap...
I would appreciate any help on this issue.

I let it go for a couple weeks.. pain in the ass... If there was a work-around, that would be something. Like another app that would allow me to modify the ID.

I found "Android ID changer" but I'm a little leery to try it. I copied down my existing hostname, and made a nan backup... Guess I just need to jump in with both feet...

I think you will find that you do have a backup. It's just in a different folder than where Titanium is currently looking. Check around with a file manager and look at the dates the backups have for each file. Then make Titanium look there. Well, at least that is what worked for me when I went from Novella (an AT&T rom I was running on my Verizon Note 2) back to Beans14.
Good luck.

Why would titanium backup make a backup, then not look in the proper directories when restoring files? I did a top-level search of 'settings.db', and other than the one I found in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, there is not another one anywhere...
BUT... it wouldn't be the first app that cant figure out the difference between /mnt/sdcard/ and /mnt/sdcard/0...
Does anyone have a bugtraq for Titanium backup? All I found was their Google Plus page, and while I did post there, I'm not expecting an answer...
