[Q] Whatsapp force closing when trying to share an image - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

have the same problem with galaxy s2..but not with my old galaxy s..
what phone do you have??
i think the reason is fb app is not updated for all devides yet..
That happens on my Nexus 1 as well; if I get a notification or something it will take me to the menu but it won't update.
Try opening the App itself and going to your messages from there.

Same problem for me. The app is very slow in updating. The message does come after a while but it's *after a while*.
I'd give -5 stars for the facebook app. I'm using the latest version on the market.

update you app or reinstall and install it again
just try to reinstall it
When trying to comment on something, the app stays with the image, adding comment and does not add the comment, even after closing the app and opening again i am brought to this screen, usually a reboot fixes it, but i think that should be necessary to in such an app...smh
i always get the problem that my fb pics dont sync with my contacts

What Android have you???
PS here are official firmwares >>> http://www.samfirmware.com/fwandroid.htm
I am also getting problem with this application , I thought its my phone problem but now it seems that its an application problem.
I don't get this particular error, however from time to time if I attempt to view a comment with media (video, picture, ect.) I get an error. Can't recall what it says right now, not sure it has happened since I installed NSCollab.
yeah.
1. When viewing albums photos the pictures load backwards.
2. The messenger and messages are pushed correctly/on time.
2 major problems
I've encountered this also in the Web page, I'm not surprised that's in the Facebook app too..

Has Facebook v1.8.2 broken your push notifications?

Mine are dead since the update...
How can I fix them? Maybe using an older apk?
Thanks,
TD
Nah mate mine still work, just make sure refresh is set to never but notifications are turned on. I get em roughly 20-30 secs later than the actual website

Yes that is how they are set, as they were pre 1.8.2,and they used to work flawlessly. I also tried rebooting, and logging off and back on in both Facebook and Facebook messenger, still nothing
Got the same problem.I stopped getting notifications after the update.Only get them via google mail but super late.Reading the comments on the market it seems that its happening to many people.Guess its a hit and miss thing weather the update works or not.Some people are also uninstalling the update and going back to the previos version untill its fixed.

I went to http://www.apktops.com/ and downloaded v1.8.1, then I placed the apk into my phone via kies air, doesn't really matter in which folder. I went into application management, cleared data and cache (just to be safe), uninstalled facebook. Then I went to the folder where I placed the v1.8.1 apk, clicked on it, and installed it. I haven't received a pm yet, so I can't say yet if it did fix push notifications.
Still not working anymore.... I'm so mad at this....
I went back to 1.7.1...current versions are too buggy.
I tried everything, I
Cleared cache and data for Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Go Facebook Widget
Uninstalled those 3
Reinstalled Facebook only, different versions, v1.8.2, v1.8.1, v1.7.2. Tested with FB only, nothing
Reinstalled the latest Facebook Messenger, still nothing
Reinstalled the latest Go Facebook Widget, still nothing.
I'm out of ideas really...
PS: my mate with GS2 with official XILA2 (android 2.3.6) says that his galaxy's notifications are also dead, but he has them just fine on his Transformer tablet with honeycomb
Facebook app is pretty bad period tbh comparing it to the iphones . Sometimes randomly it would give me nasty wakelocks.
i heard ads are coming to it soon :-/ lol
looks like an iphone but powered by android!!!
Noone else has any idea about how to fix these?....

Have you tried this?
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/how-to-enable-push-notifications-in.html
I just uninstalled it all together. will try an older apk.
I must say I got push notifications to work by logging into my facebook on my mums blackberry then logging off. Maybe thats whay I still get the notifications? Wish I could help mate but if you know someone with a blackberry then try the idea posted above
Yes I did that trick with the blackberry emulator like 4 months, ago, and it worked just fine till the last update. I've since tried to revert to an older facebook apk, and redo the blackberry simulator trick, but they still won't get back on
So...refresh interval slould be "never" and notifications "on", ok?
That's my options in facebook aplication. I deleted app data in setting, but still no push working.
If anybody have a solution, please help.
Thank you...

[Q] Messaging and phone problem

Hello, I recently got a problem with my Xperia s. When I try to open Messages or phone app, the app wont load the contacts or messages, only shows blank screen/keyboard. I haven´t had this problem before, but now it suddenly appeared. I have tried to reflash the firmware (ICS) but still sometimes the problem exists. I sent even a mail to Sony support who said that i have to go to service. I am pretty sure that as it is software problem it could be fixed without service. I have unlocked bootloader.
Thanks if someone could help.
May HELP

I got the problem again, this time i installed the apps you provided. Lets see if it stays working, because right now it is...

Well Try Using Other Market Apps,Dnt Use The Stock!!!:good:
Still does not work , the contacts are loading slowly and messages notification appears after 5min but message arriving time is almost the same as it was when i sent ti. Eg. Send "Test" 01.01 arrives 01.06, but shows arriving time 01.01
Solved the prob I guess. Disabled mdssages , contacts and contact storage apps. Now messages arrive in time at least. Also some third party apps still show contacts. Think these apps were corrupt. Have to find new ones...
Edit: Contacts app isn't working, others work as they should..

[Q] Jelly Bean donwnload notifications won't go away

Hello,
My wife's Galaxy S3 just got updated to Jelly Bean and an very annoying issue has started to occur: download finished notifications of all files that have ever been downloaded on the device (I assume, there's a ton of them) have appeared in the drop down bar. If I press clear all they disappear, but reappear after a short while.
Any idea what's wrong and how can it be fixed?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hiya mate, I've updated my S3 only moments ago and the same problem occurred on my phone. So I did as what you did and searched Google but nothing came up so I tried a few differebt things, including delete a few pictures I didn't need and taking out my SD card and evening stopping a few applications through the app manager but none of them worked. I then proceeded to go on Facebook on my phone and I saw a pic I found funny so I downloaded and the bright idea came from that. Would deleting my download history work and thankfully it did. To do this, click on your app button and the download app should be on the first screen, click on it and delete everything that is in the two tabs. If this doesn't work then I'm sorry but I don't know what else to try. I would provide pics of where the download app is what to delete but I'm on my phone at the moment and navigating on this page is so hard due to it not being mobile friendly.
IT WORKS!

WhatsApp not working

Dear XDA,
Today I've decided to upgrade my ROM on my rooted LG G5. Everything is working perfectly except Whatsapp... It's stuck on initializing after I have setup my name.
Because I thought it could be them I've tried a lot of different ones and even the old one that was on the phone. Sadly WhatsApp is still having the same issue.
Since I really have no clue anymore on what to do, I'm wondering if there is someone here that can help me.
I've tried a lot of different things like clearing the Cache/'reinstalling an older version of WhatsApp/ trying a different google account.
Anyone here that has any idea on how to fix this?
With kind regards,
MarshalSmit

Go into settings, then apps and go to WhatsApp settings. Click on permissions and deny contacts and then start app and login. Once you're logged in go back and allow contacts permission. You could also uninstall app and reinstall then just got deny when starting the app for contacts.
