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 everybody i have a real noob question and i have no idea on how to go on about it so if i could any tips or help it would be great.
i have a vibrant but im switching over to hd2 now i want to know how to get all my stuff off my vibrant to my hd2 ?
like my contacts messages etc etc pictures.
it would be great help if somebody can let me know
thanks alot
The easiest one is the contacts. You should save all your contacts to your gmail so when you sign in on the new phone BOOM! all your contacts are there waiting for you.
The messages can be backed up using any app off the market. Of course you will have to find the file on your internalSD and move it to the new phone then install that same app and restore using it.
Same for pictures and everything else you'll need to move them manually from one phone to the other. Good luck!

and what about all my super nice apps that i got for free using illegal ways that i will not i repeat will not want to give up and must have them?
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
Lol dude,
Hehe it seems i was mistaken. Apologies and tell your girlfriend that yous arse a smart dude
Now tell me how this will work for my ipad ^_^

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.

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)

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?
I I was wondering if there are any programs where I could do GREAT backups.
Mainly 1 for phonebook, so that I can safely copy all my contacts and modify them from the computer. I have like 300 numbers but want to erase 200 of them while still having them on computer if I need them. I can't find a reliable app to do this so am wondering if anyone has any experiences in it.
The 2nd backup I'm looking for is an APP one. It doesn't hve to necessarily backup the apps, but at least be able to queue all of them I want RE-installed and download them all from the google play store or something. I want to get into flashing ROMS, but I have like 7 pages of apps already that I don't want to lose, as I'm still sorting through trying to find the ones that work best for me so I can remove all the extras.
First off, I think these could've been answered by searching, so please do that in the future.
If your contacts are stored as Google contacts (as they should be), you can edit them from GMail. On the top left corner of the page, there is a menu that says "GMail." Click it and select "Contacts." I've found this to be the easiest way. It'll also always backup your contacts, and you can restore old versions of your contact list if you need to do so. (Since you talk about wanting to delete them from the phone, but keep a record of them, if you delete them from GMail and remember the date when you had them all in there, you can always restore it back to that date and they'll all be back.)
Also, from the People app, you can go to Menu -> Manage Contacts, and export the data.
Regarding backing up apps, this is the main reason I don't think you've done any research at all. There's a very-well-talked-about app called Titanium Backup that will backup and restore every app on your phone. You have to buy the key for it to restore all of them without your involvement--the free version requires you to give permissions to install each app.
First off, I did search prior to asking the question and could not find what I was looking for. There is no need to be rude, as searching was obviously the first step anyone would or at least SHOULD take before asking such a question.
As for your replies, I have chosen sync in my contacts, but they will not show up in Google for some reason. I've tried tons of ways, and it shows like it is syncing, but when I check... nothing there. I don't know if something is wrong in my settings or what, but I've tried many times... it just won't work for me for some reason. Maybe it's because I have 6 google accounts attached to phone, and even though I'm only syncing 1, it is mixing them up or something.
And I already have Titanium Backup, it keeps crashing on my phone for some reason, which is why I was looking for an alternative. I have over 300 apps on my phone right now. I know that's horrid, but I downloaded a ton of them for the same things so I can test them and find the ones I liked best, in which I plan to mark them all, re-flash the phone with whatever ROM (later once full rooting with S-off and everything has been tested more thoroughly), and only install those apps I liked, which should bring it down to maybe 100 apps or so.
I do understand I might SEEM like I didn't search, but trust me... I did.
Anyways, I thank you for your response (both the neg and the pos), and your time was greatly appreciated. I am about to toy with my settings and see if something is blocking the sync or something. I didn't know you could export from the people app though, so thanks for that especially.
UPDATE:
Man, thanks! That export feature is NICE! going to see how easy it is to modify it shortly, hopefully it's readable in Excel.
Regarding Titanium Backup, you are rooted and have granted Titanium Backup superuser permissions, correct?
Yes, I used that 1 click .bat file (from the first method that was shown). I think my superuser app was corrupt, so I re-downloaded it and it's working fine now. Thank you.

I ran into an issue with TB when I tried restoring from my OG EVO. I am rooted in the EVOLTE but not running a custom ROM. the ROM I was running was deodexed. Stock EVOLTE is not so I was unsuccessful in my restore. I bought mybackup pro and WA able to restore SMS and .MMS this way. Not sure I'd you are having the same issues or not though

I agree, all contacts should be on google...then theres no worry about backups (ive had 3 android phones and a tablet and they all auto sync the contacts instantly).
Editing them on the computer is a breeze, the duplicate find/merge feature is simple and works very well.
What exactly are you all doing to make them sync though?
I went to Accounts & Sync
> selected the one GMAIL that I want the numbers synced to and hit sync now, but it doesn't do anything.
Hi, I have the stock ROM in my phone I am considering installing Cyanogenmod. My question is how should I uninstall and then install Naver Line in the new ROM. I don't know if it is enough to uninstall the app without deleting my account and then register in Line with my email in the new ROM. The program help says that if you do it wrong you may appear with two accounts to your friends. I have heard that installing a backup with Titanium Backup may cause problems.
Many thanks for your answers!

You do not need to uninstall first. You should have an email account associated with the Line Naver. It will be under settings/accounts/email account registration.
You just reactivate your Line account on your new rom. You will lose your chat history. Titanium Backup does not work with Line Naver. I have tried multiple times. It only makes a difference if you want to backup and restore your chat history, which cannot be done. Otherwise just flash away.

I passed from Samsung ROM to CM10.1 yesterday, and restoring Line with Titanium Backup causes Line to Force Close.
BUT I tried letting TB restore the old device ID (gives you message when you run it for the first time on a new ROM), and after that Line worked again, restoring all the settings, Chat history, photos, etc... seems it binds itself to the Android Device ID.
My titanium backup never ask me to restore device id, and I flash different roms every other day.

How did you restore the old device ID? I only see restore app/date in backup, and I don't see anything in the Special menu either...
Nevermind, I found it. Need to backup Settings Storage.apk, then if you flash a new ROM, go to Titanium Backup menu, and choose the Manage Android ID to restore the ID on the new ROM...
Interesting...
New version of Line Naver "supposedly" have the restore chat history function. From what I can tell you have to backup each chat session individually. I'll install a new rom later and see if the restore option really works.

Just installed it as well and saw the import button. Backing up my chats and installing a new rom to see if it works as well. Hmmm
It's too bad this version of Line loses the option of "choosing a photo from app". Now when you want to add photo, it brings you straight to their own photo album app. Before I can choose my emoticons photo app, but no longer.

In my case, the number of chat sessions are almost 100. Is there any way to backup whole history chat of Naver-LINE without rooted permission.
