Hi all,
Since I was (very) disappointed that Whatsapp couldn't be used on my Tab (10.1 WiFi), I couldn't stop thinking about how to get this thing working after all. This morning I had a brainwave, but didn't think too much about it, since I guessed I couldn't be the first one thinking about this?! But after searching the forum this afternoon, I actually couldn't find any post mentioning what I just did. But I must admit, my search-qualities may lack (as does my English)... So sorry if this is already well known / spoken of.
I couldn't get Whatsapp installed on my SGT the normal way(s), so what I now did was Titanium Backup Whatsapp on my Phone (where I was already using it), copy that Titanium Backup files into the Titanium Backup folder on my SGT and then restored that App+Data for Whatsapp on my SGT.
Now it did install on my SGT and when I sent a message to someone, it arrives immediately!
Only thing is the message history on my Tab+Phone isn't synced (of course) and if someone sends me a message it only arrives on my Tab. It arrives on my phone again as soon as I power down my Tab (or when I would kill the Whatsapp app that's running in the background on my Tab I guess).
Again, I'm sorry if someone mentioned this before. I hope this information can be of use for some of us!
Excellent suggestion!
Thanks

When i try to restore from my back up files, do i first have to install whatsapp on my tab and then restore? Sorry i may sound dumb
OK Figured out thanks and it works ,
Well, something isn't clear...as I know whatsapp can only work on one device (with the same number), I tried to install it on my tab, but when I start it, it kills whatsapp on my iPhone.
Also I have another problem, installed whatsapp on my tab, and registered it with another number, but I don't have any contact imported...contacts are synchronized with gmail account...anyone knows a solution for this?
hey joris, did this backup/restore thing a week ago on my tab. whatsapp works on my tab too, but i first get messages on my phone none on the tab. i admit that i have never sent a msg from my tab as for now.
but its working - main objective reached
When WA is running in the background of your phone, the messages won't get to your Tab. That's right. If you kill WA on your phone and then start WA on your Tab, the message will come through.
It's a shame messages won't sync between the two devices though...

The reason it works on android tablet is same back up is restored from android phone to android tablet, so WA assumes its the same device, its a different situation with iphone because you can not do as did with android phone and tab combination
i think the solution so "synchronize" the messages is to use another phone number to register the tabs whatsapp backup (backup from a phone with a different number and restore on the tab) and keep all conversations in a group chat.
For example, if i use whatsapp to talk to my girlfriend, i will start a whatass group chat, add my girlfirend and my galaxy tab whatass number, so "the 3 of us" can communicate. Its like having a threesome i guess.
I got it working through another method..
But just nativly installing whatsapp, after using a certain modem.bin
It also enabled text messaging on the tab..
Btw..
Everyone should try JaxtrSMS, this sends messages through internet which the receiver will receive as a normal text message
I got the modem file from the forum here but I don't know where exactly..
Ill attach it here for now, flash through ODIN..
First unpack it with winrar or anything..
i have been using this with my Galaxy tab 3G GT-p7500
I'm using a custom 3.2 rom with Riego kernel
texting & whatsapp work bot, as does JaxtrSMS

Whatsapp on Galaxy Tab 10.1
I am really new to this, I have just recently purchase a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi only (model : GT-P7510) using build Android version 3.1
I have downloaded the .apk file and try to install it on my Galaxy Tab, I am able to successfuly install the file but I am not able to run the application, getting error "We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone, take out the battery, restart it and try it again. (Note: tablets are currently not supported).
I can see the previous posting suggested using Titanium BackUp for Whatsapp and transfering to the phone, (if i am not mistaken, that will means rooting the phone, is there any option that doesn't require rooting the phone?)
Please advise, what can I do to use Whatsapp on my Galaxy Tab 10.1
Many Thanks in advance.
- To regret one's own experiences is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one's own life.
I dont use the App but I read your method and I must say it is pretty creative solution. It probably would work for most apps that arent compatible with the tab and your phone (and perhaps vice versa)

Update: TexTab has been released in the market! Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta. Download links:
- Full Version
- Lite Version
TexTab is an SMS app for Android tablets. It allows you to connect your Android 2.1+ tablet to your Android 2.1+ phone over Bluetooth and send/receive SMS messages on your tablet as if you were sending them from your phone.
I've been working on this app for some time now and I feel that it is ready for public beta testing. I encourage everybody to download and install the app on both your phone and tablet, and please provide feedback here.
App Features:
- Honeycomb optimized, though not required
- Push menu button to connect devices via bluetooth, with option to select a device to automatically connect to in settings
- Conversation threads use your Google contact information to display contact info
- Widget with button to enable/disable service, and displays connection information
Known Bugs:
- Messages not saving to outbox on some devices
- Sometimes unable to connect from one device. Seems to fix after turning bluetooth off then on, on OTHER device.
- Delivery reports are not always reliable, when messages are sent or received very quickly
- Visual issues/ghosting when using Swype keyboard in portrait orientation
- Performance issues on Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
Future Development/Requested Features:
- New layout for 7" tablets
- Wifi functionality for increased range
- UI improvements
- Option to sync contacts with phone rather than cloud
- Sync sms history with phone
- Option to mute phone notifications
- Mark incoming messages as "read" on phone
- Popup dialog on received message when app is not in foreground
- MMS support
- Ability to use existing SMS app (GoSMS, Handcent, etc) to send/receive messages on ANOTHER phone
- suggestions?
Installation and Use:
Download the attached zip file and extract it somewhere on your computer. Copy the extracted file, TexTab.apk, onto both of your devices. Find the .apk file using File Manager or your favourite file browser and run it on both devices to install. Once installed, you can access it like any other app, and you can long-press on the homescreen to add the widget.
Once in the app, push the menu button to connect to a paired bluetooth device. If your devices are not paired, simply make one of them discoverable using Menu Button > Make Discoverable and then on the other device use Menu Button > Connect a Device > Scan for Devices to pair the two devices and establish a connection.
Once a connection is established, the devices should show their proper views. If not, click the settings button and change the Device Type. Under settings, you can also select the option to automatically connect to a paired device on startup. You can also enable or disable the bluetooth service under settings, or by using the button on the widget.
To send a message, either type a phone number into the Phone Number... field, or tap the Send To... button to choose a contact from the cloud. Type the message in the Enter a Message... field and tap send. Received messages will automatically show up as long as the app is enabled.
I look forward to any feedback/bug reports/praise/insults you may have!
Changelog:
See attached text file
This sounds awesome! Thanks a lot man.
Could you maybe throw up some instructions for everyone...
Edit: works great so far. Looking foward to the updates!
I updated the OP with installation and usage instructions. Let me know if they're not clear!
Cant wait to give this a try! Awesome
Will deffinately try this, sounds like what I've been looking for!
You say Future Development for WiFi, 2 ways I could suggest to have that.
1) If the tab is tethered to the phone for data (this is how I get my WiFi only tab to have data at work)
2) If they are on the same WiFi network, say I'm at home. Phone is connected to home WiFi and tab is connected to home WiFi.
Just some thoughts
*Edit*
Ok, tried it out and thats pretty cool! I like how the message shows up on the phone and the tab. Is there a way to pull down recient conversations (say from the last 24 hours) incase you wanted to continue a previous conversation? Also, if read on the tab or phone, could it show read on the other device?

This is exactly how the wifi support will work. It will still require the connect to device step, but the range will be limited by your wifi network rather than your phones bluetooth signal.

I've toyed with the idea of syncing sms history with a contact, unfortunately though any operations which involve using sms history are unsupported in the Android SDK and could break my app in the future. Marking a message as read is subject to the same problem. I'll look into it some more.
I appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!
I wanna suggest something, look at the app called texter, and the chrome app, then take a look have they work. They work by signing in on your google account on an app on the android phone, and the signing in at the same account on chrome, npw you can sms from chrome throw your phone and recive them, no matter where your phone is, it just need 3g connetion. This is like chrometophone. If you could get it working in this way it would be awsome! And the ofc still the bluetooth or something other when the tab not have internet connection
Loving this app so far, just wanted to report a bug. When a new contact sends a text, it seems to duplicate the view of prior conversations. I have one conversation that's up to three alternate views!
Edit: After a reboot, the duplicates disappeared.

Thanks, added it to the list. As a temporary fix, tapping the settings button and then tapping back will reload the contacts list and they should disappear.
Also I can't seem to delete conversations by long pressing. Is there another way?
I haven't implemented this. I'll consider it a feature suggestion! Are you wanting to delete specific messages within a thread, or whole thread for a contact?
I was actually working on something exactly like this. I did not end up getting much work done though. If you would like any help, just let me know.
Dude, your App is awesome ! ive searched for days for something like this. the only other option is syncsms and that one doesnt support "push", only "all 5 min sync". But your solution via bluetooth is just awesome
ive allready installed it on 5 different transformers for my friends. we are all very happy and would like to donate for your work.
As soon as your App is final, you should totaly put it on market for 1-2$ or more. you will be rich buddy !
Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work. ive allready bookmarked your thread =)
PS: Could you implement the function to mute the notification sound?

I won't name any names, but there is at least one other implementation of this idea. My app goes about it a little bit differently.

Just a contact thread. Specific messages would be a good option if you want this to be a full fledged texting app, but then the deletion wouldn't propogate to the phone without some magic. If this app is intended to be a messenger though, an extension of the phone when the tablet just so happens to be around, I'd like the ability to keep that interface clean and current so its not bogged down with out of date texts.
Edit: Keeping with the 'extension of the phone' idea, you could have an option to clear the text database after a certain amount of time disconnected from a device.
a friend of mine just told me that his phone is acting wierd.
he installed the app and send me 5 texts over his pad and i got them all. but his phone wont show what he wrote and in his phone there are only the sms from me and not his. we both use the lg optimus 2x.
and also his phone send 2 sms to the number "555555555" with text "default body". right after he installed the app and tried to send texts over his pad.
any idea?

I have an idea about what's happening here. As I mentioned in an earlier post, any operations that involve your phones SMS history are unsupported in the Android SDK. It sounds like your particular phone model doesn't access SMS history in the same way as other phones, so the app is unable to save sent messages in your phones SMS history.
The number "5555555555" and "default body" are used when there is a problem saving the data to your phone. The phone was told that a message was sent to that number; but no SMS was actually sent.
I'll try and find a workaround for this phone.
Do other people using this phone model have the same problem? Or any other LG phone?
No one else have that issue.
we both use the same lg and we both use a modaco rom. the only difference is, iam using modaco version ~16 and he version ~19. so the problem should lie in the difference of that roms. he just got furios because he tought the app had send 2 sms to a pricy number...
after reading your explanation we saw that everytime he sends a text to me he got a 55555555 sms with default body, so its realy the fact that his phone cant save the textmessage into the threaded sms history. its send, but not saved. on the other hand it flawlessly work on my phone. i can send a text on my pad and see it almost directly on my phone in the threaded history. funny tho =) now we're gonna flash his phone to another rom.
i'll keep an eye on this thread. it would be realy cool if you would mention it somewhere when u think u found a workarround. we will test it then =)
ah and we found another bug just now. when i want to write a new sms to contactB i have no choice to choose the number to send. so my girlfriend for example have 3 different numbers, and the app want to use the first number of the contact, in this situation its her home number.. no way to send a sms to that one ^^

Thanks for the clarification. It must be an incompatibility with the rom then.
I'll repeat for clarity: when you see a message to the number "5555555555" its simply a problem with the phone not saving the information properly. An SMS has NOT been sent to this number.
Please let me know if flashing a different rom fixes the problem!
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

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

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. . .
Hey everyone. Whatsapp keeps force closing on me when I try to share an image from the gallery application. From within whatsapp it's fine. But only while sharing from the gallery application.
I wrote Whatsapp over a week ago and as usual they don't answer. So I'm not sure. I doubt it's the phone because I've tried 3 different ROMs and I've had the same issue with all of the roms. So I don't know what to do. It's not that big of a deal, but it is kind of a bother. Sometimes I just get a black screen and I have to back out completely and just go into whatsapp itself to do it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved: Whatsapp wrote me back today and the woman pointed me to the updated version they had on their website which totally fixed my issues! Thanks whatsapp hehe.
It works for me just fine...dont know why you have the issue..
infact i never had this issue in the various stock ROM's i have used in the past
I am on whatsapp version 2.7.431
If you are rooted try fix permissions , ROM manager has it... CWM recovery has it..might be few other ways too...
also check the settings in whatsapp, if the system status is showing working OK...
check if it works when you are on wifi...

I'm not rooted, that's the thing. All the roms have been stock (either an updated or not updated OS). Everything else on my phone works except this! It's strange. If I am not rooted can I still check permissions or anything else that you said? I'm also not interested in rooting. Thanks for the help
SOLVED! See first post

Hi um trying to open my whatsapp but is just keep on forcing me out.please help
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

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?

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

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?
