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

But you also need a phone that runs whatsapp... I don't have a phone with whatsapp. You also get your whatsapp messages on your Archos?

But that would mean that you have only ONE whatsapp on two devices? Or are they different from each other?

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#
Does anyone have Google Voice working, or should we wait for the 3.1 update?
Thanks!!
Google Voice doesn't work. I even tried a modified apk from the Xoom.
I don't recall where I got it from, but there is a version out there that works pretty well. I'm pretty sure got it from another thread on this forum, so try searching and you should find it. It is kinda dated, it doesn't support the push notifications for text messages (so fastest you'll get texts is every 5 minutes), but it works.

I've had no luck finding this version. Does the Gtab need rooted for it to work?
I think this is the file that I have installed right now: htt p:// db . tt / T3Svb4A (sorry, not enough posts to post the full link, just remove the spaces). Let me know if that one doesn't work and I'll do a direct pull from my device. And no root is needed.

Groove IP works on gingerbread, can anyone confirm that it works on the tab/honeycomb?
Fyi groove IP allows for voice calls from a tab using your Google voice number.
I copied the Google Voice APK from my Nexus S to my LE Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it installed and ran without any of the configuration file trickery described in other posts. Neither device is rooted.

Are you able to make calls or just text? My texting works fine, but still need GrooveIP to make calls.

That will always be true for any WiFi device. The official Google Voice app is not a SIP client. You need some other SIP client like SipDroid, CSipSimple, SipAgent or GrooveIP.
I got Google Voice working by using Titanium Backup. I used the backup files from my SGS4G. It Took a while for the batch operation to finish but it worked! No calls for the time being though. Texting is great though!
Latest Version
Here's the latest version from my Infuse. Supposed to be easier on your battery.
Also, GrooVe IP is on sale at Amazon. $1.99 vs. the regular $3.99. http://www.amazon.com/snrb-Labs-GrooVe-IP/dp/B004Z1P53W/ref=zg_bs_mobile-apps_1

Thanks, for that little, no reason not to pick it up. Actually seems to work quite well (on my one test call so far!).

yes u can make and receive calls. all you need is Groove IP which is a paid app worth all the money. install the app, follow the setup, and start making and receiving phone calls with your google voice number. no root needed!!! yes u need to b on wifi
I noticed if you text on a wifi only device with google voice you dont get the text instantly, you have to wait for google voice app to refresh which its lowest setting is 5 minutes.
Is there anyway to get texting instantly?

Is google voice not available on the touchpad? I have the app installed on my nook color but would like it on my touchpad too?
I've used GV to send text on my TP, as far as calling goes, I think GV will connect calls to a phone number that's been previously setup with your account. Have yet to try and ,make calls with GV.

Ah, no. App is Not available w/WebOS.. sorry..
Well poop. Looks like I am going to have to get around to putting adroid on it. Was going to wait for ics....thanks for the help
I'm using the alpha version of ICS. it's fairly decent with the exception of a few bugs but its my daily driver for my TP given WebOS is greatly limited on good apps.
Its up to you but I recommend giving it a try.
Has anyone successfully gotten their kindle fire hdx to work correctly with google hangouts? I can hear others, but the mic doesn't seem to work correctly with it so they can't hear me.
I'm on an Apollo rooted kindle fire HDX 8.9" with gapps.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

You must have a different version of google hangouts for android than I do. The default version that comes with the amazon gapps doesn't have this setting. Did you sideload it?

Yes. It would help if you list the settings. For example, in my hangouts app, under settings, I have
- my email addresses
- SMS
- About google hangouts
No hardware/audio settings.
Within each email address, its just notification settings, and nothing about hardware.

HDX 7" with the ThorGapps ROM. I also can transmit no audio on a Hangouts video chat. I think this is, literally, the only thing that's not worked perfectly for me on this rom.

When you go to settings->advanced you have an option to automatically download MMS but I don't think it can save them automatically, give it a try

No it isn't, just open a file manager, go to Android then Data and search for "com.google.apps.messaging".
And how in the world deleting the .nomedia file will help anyway ? Are you trolling or am I missing the point ?

For now I think there's no way I know, you'll have to click the save button every time.
But the latest Google messages apk hinrs manual saves and restores for SMS/MMS (https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...google-fi-integration-manual-cloud-restores/)
So your photos could stay in messages anyway :l
