Someone already got WhatsApp (whatsapp<dot>com) working on their Archos Gen8?
I have downloaded the apk for Android and installed it on my Archos 70, but I get an error that the application does not recognise my Archos (or something similar).
It seems that it doesn't work on a WIFI only device, GSM module is required I think.
Maybe someone has found a workaround for this?
BTW, I have already contacted WhatsApp support via email, waiting for their reply...
WhatsApp needs GSM because your mobile number is your login credentials/identifier: no GSM -> no identifier -> no WhatsApp
edit: to get around the missing gsm problem, they would have to implement real credentials (phone number + password) so not everbody can just type your phone number in his whatsapp and send messages as it he were you.

He wrote they have to change this in the application
Im sorry but i think they wont doing it, just because one archos user want it.
(nearly) all other android devices can "handle" whatsapp because nearly all android devices are phones
(so gsm module is included)
Hmmm that sucks... Because I almost always have WiFi so it would save me like 10 euro per month. But there are way more Tablets like Xoom, how do they do it? Or does the Xoom also have an data plan? Maybe there are some hackers who can fix/crack it?
Yes the Xoom has an data plan
You can try mjoy.com, its pretty the same
Hackers would have to change the apk, and thats much work
sorry, but i think no one will do this

Thanks for your answer. I live in holland, and does Mjoy.com mean that I can text anyone anywhere with my Archos (WiFi) and my normal mobile number? That's crazy. thank you.
EDIT: But do I get the message's on my mobile phone or on my Archos? Because if I get them on my phone it is rather useless.

You get the messages not on your Archos, you get them on phone
Because mjoy should actually use on phone (on your archos you have to change user gent to iphone) but then you need a data plan

it's the same whatsapp as it uses the same phone # , the same contacts , the same mesages and the same status
you have to take a backup from a working whatsapp because whatsapp needs a cell phone # to authenticate .
Well that sucks.

dude try to get your whatsapp running on any android phone then just take your backup it's too easy
does that mean you could change some parameters in the user data of whatsapp and login as a different phone#

Hi, i just got the S2 a couple days ago and it's an amazing phone coming from an Iphone3g.
I was wondering if it is possible to install 2 whatsapp program on the phone? the reason for this is that i have 2 cell phone numbers, one personal and one work. i switch sim cards on weekends. i have separate work and personal friends, i don't want them to interchange and know about my other numbers.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
from what i understand
when u switch the sim card whatsapp starts again like u just installed it
Yes i understand whatsapp still works when install new sim card in the phone, but the phone number does not change with the sim card. That's my problem and i hope an expert here can let me know if it's possible to have 2 whatsapp or advise me an alternative solution.
You could try moving the apk to /system/app and then installing one from the market (/data/app). I've never tried anything like this so I'm not sure if it'd work.
Why don't you mail the developer...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
So i guess its not possible to install 2 whatsapp, i'll email the developers to see if they have a solution.
Thank you everyone.
From experience....
I switched sims....and whatsapp thought i was still on my old number...until I was bothered to re-install it.
There have been a lot of whatsapp updates since then.. don;t know if it still works like that
I have 2 numbers and 2 phones and that works becuase each phone has its own gmail account therefore its own apps market.To have 2 WhatsApp on the same phone with different numbers probably might work if you put another gmail account in "My Accounts" and see if it can sign in and open its own apps store account but 2 WhatsApp on the same phone wont work if they share the same gmail/market account.
Ironmit,
Yes it's still the same, switching sim cards does not change whatsapp number.
Thank you everyone, i have emailed the developers and waiting for their reply. i will post results as soon as they get back to me in case anyone has the same problem as me.
Same problem need two whatsapps in one phone

TB's App Profiles Feature?

Titanium Backup has a feature called App Profiles which basically allows you to have "two (or more) instances" of an app installed on your device. So you would create a new profile for WhatsApp and sign in with your 2nd number. Then if you want to go back to the 1st number, just switch back to the first profile. I'm not sure if that would work as I haven't tried it but that's an idea.
EDIT: I tried this out and it worked. You can even have a widget on your homescreen to easily and quickly switch between profiles.
Yes, the Titanium Backup App Profiles feature is a very good workaround, thanks for the tips halogen_guy.
Just one thing is when the profile is changed, the other phone number cannot receive messages. It would be great if we can make both numbers able to receive messages at the same time (dreaming).
Not complaining, at least I can use Whatsapp with my secondary phone number once in a while. I'm very happy now

Hey Friendz can we really hide "last seen" on WhatsApp..??
.
.

Yes there is a small trick, which i found out yesterday..
For me i have a samsung galaxy 5 and no internet on my phone(but it also works on phone data plan) i use Wifi, the trick is for me to have wifi on so i can recieve messages and once i do, i just turn off my wifi and then open the whatsapp message. after that you can even type a reply if you want send it, close whatsapp completly and start your wifi again. it wel then send the message but you wont have come online, my friends still think its freaky that i was last online 3 days ago while im still talking to them the only downside is that you yourself then cant see when someone else was last online cause to get that information you need to be in the message and online. hope this helps.

But it would be better if it can automatically connect whatsapp again when I return to homescreen, so that msg can be sent and last seen can be hid as well!:fingers-crossed:

yes that you can just take another phone add a contact that you want to see and you can spy their status without being seen! I'm surprised you didn't figure this out obviously you can do many tricks for this. one is saving multiple data profiles for whatsapp and it requires root
another way for anyone, stock unrooted phone, is installing and uninstalling or clear data, change sim etc etc

you need to use titanium backup, make a backup of whatsapp. Then delete whatsapp data and create a new account with a new phone number.
You might need to move the old backup from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup saved as .tar.gz to some other folder and then you can swap whenever you need to change profile.
I hope you can understand what I mean!
maybe I'll try it
thanks! It's much better than the previous method!
