Managed to install successfully the Whatsapp Messenger over my 10.1 HTC JetStream which means that i can send/receive Text, Pictures, Videos from & to my tablet, either over WiFi or Cellular. This is great as i can photo with my tablet and send it to any mobile phone that run's whatsapp and its FREE. Same goes for receiving Text or pictures.
Its a great way to communicate FREE from my tablet.
Didn't managed to download the apk file from the market so i googled for it and just installed it, registered & it work.
BTW - The HTC JetStream is SIM Unlocked - was locked to ATT when i got it and easily managed to have it working on ORANGE network. see other thread in the forum.
As stated earlier, whatsapp works great on the Jetstream.
One small issue is that i do not able to see the contact list wheni want to compose a message to someone who didn't text me earlier. The contact list in the "compose message" is empty. anyone got the same issue ?
Any idea how to resolve it ?

I'm using text + which lets you send a text to anyone in your Google contacts and also shows you the list. Not to thrilled about the randomly assigned number when you sign up, but it does work for SMS and MMS.

Sent from my HTC PG09410 using XDA App
I've been unwillingly receiving some advertisement sms which charge my account once the sms is opened.
Is there a way to delete an sms message without opening it?.
TIA
Ur best bet is figuring out how to stop the msgs in first place i think

yes, maybe some kind of code you can send to your operator/advertisement-sender which can stop the automatic messages, i know that kind of msgs sucks just find a way in google, i know different users experience that alot
You can download "SMS Popup" from the market. However you will need to manually configure it into "Privacy Mode" (or something similar). Once done, you will get a popup everytime you get a message, along with 3 options to "Open Message", "Delete" (without opening) or "Go to inbox".
I had the SMS POpup on my stock ROM but don't need it now on MIUI...
Thanks.
Are you sure it doesn't open the sms?
The android market page for this app reads:
NOTE: SMS Popup does mark message as "read"
so as far as the mobile carrier is concerned, the sms has been received & read, so it will still charge for those spam sms.
@mike,
pls refer to my previous post - the app opens the SMS by default - but once you go to settings and enable privacy mode, it won't read the msg. A message is not marked as 'Read' as long as it's in privacy mode and you don't specifically open it. (Even the LEDs will continue blinking till u don't open the message)
It's a free app, so u can download and check that out.
Thanks for the info
If your with vodafone phone the operator and they will ban the number from your sim

SMS popup is nice, but does it show a history of all the sms, like the stock sms app on A2.1 does?
Also, to avoid duplicate notifications I've unchecked the "notifications" in the stock sms app, but it no longer shows incoming messages in the messages log. is this a bug, or is this related to sms popup "hijacking" the sms?
TIA
Is anyone else having this issue. My emails and text message are all read, but the home screen email and messaging shows I have unread messages.

I am having the same issue, i restart the phone and it fixed it but i dont want to do it all the time.
I am playing about with Hangouts, nd have set it as my default SMS app.
I have a group contact on my phone called "Team". I would like to send a message to everyone in Team through Hangouts. However it doesn't appear in the contact list?
I was able to do this with stock app.
Running CM11.

You can try to add them to a Google + circle and then you can group message them.
Every Android user is having a Google account so it would be easy to just hangout a circle.

Ok I was able to add everyone to a circle called "Team". BUT not everyone is an android user, I had to add some people via email address.
When I open Hangouts and try to send a SMS to this circle, it is creating a hangout. It doesn't appear to be using SMS? There is no "SMS" in the bottom left of the screen beside where you type your message. How do I know if it will text everyone?

Hello Guys
Can you start communicating with someone in WhatsApp without him being in your contact list? Some people are claiming it's doable. I know you can talk with them if they happen to be on the same group.
I don't want to go through the hassle of creating a contact just to talk to him in WhatsApp for one time
The claim is that there is a button somewhere in the phone call history to select whatsapp as a messaging app instead of sms. All I see is a sms button that links to the messaging app
I found the below instructions but it doesn't work on my phone.
https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-way-to-send-WhatsApp-messages-to-someone-not-on-your-contact-list
From the link
"This is possible only in certain mobile phones.*
Type the number in Keypad
Press the Menu button
Click Send message option
You will get a menu, saying Send via WhatsApp, Message, Hike and other such apps which you have installed in your device.Click on WhatsApp.
Now you can send message through WhatsApp to the number which is not in your Contact list.
