How can i use whatsapp on transformer prime ??
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I had a quick look and it wasn't in the market when using the TP. From what I remember it requires you to add a telephone number when installing so requires a phone/3g element.

bump bump, great question! wondering the same thing too and hope there can be a solution soon...
This is what I did when I used WhatsApp on my Prime (Don't do it any more, but used to work fine).
Download & Set it up on your phone, so you can log in and chat etc etc (make sure everything works as its supposed to), then back it up with Titanium Backup, and transfer the files to your Prime, Titanium backup again to restore it, and voila.
I personally used Titanium Backup Dropbox sync to get the backup files from my phone to Dropbox, and then just manually downloaded them to my prime and put them in the right folder.
Would probably be good to do a reboot after you restored the app on your Prime, to make sure it's working as intended

Exactly! I been using whatsapp on prime since I bought it. One thing though, if you receive msg on prime, you won't see it in your phone and vice versa. And when both devices are connected to net, you never know which device will get the msg. Totally random so far.
And boom, this baby is faster. It was weird, apps would load pretty slow, internet browsing SUCKED, general slowness and battery drain and whatnot. Now, it's SUPER fast. Everything works great, except my shortcut keys for the dock, which is weird. But even the battery last so much longer. I was able to do root again, then did voodoo rootkeeper. Then I installed titanium backup (after moving the folder off the SD card along with whatever else you want to keep) and restored the apps, but app only, not data (except for a few key ones). It seemed to work for the most part and this baby works like a charm. I had 3.2 and updated to 4.0 so maybe a wipe is something you might consider if you're TF is feeling slow, even in performance mode.
Thanks. Helpful for me because I've been considering doing the same thing after the. 19 update that's supposed to be coming. I feel like all of the past updates which were more designed for bug fixes have been putting more of a damper on the performance. With this upcoming update, it looks like they are now actually focusing on features and user experience, so I want to make sure that I don't associate those 'improvements' with lackluster behavior I've noticed since a couple updates ago.
For the first time ever, I experienced 3 random reboots in the same day a couple days ago. I hugged Optimus and told it not to worry. Everything will be okay.

Pretty much. It's a factory reset. It's a real pain because you have to reinstall everything from scratch.
UNLESS you have root and a good backup utility like Titanium Backup.
Then you wipe, get root (back), install Titanium, and restore you system settings, apps, and data.
I am going to take the chance on posting this and getting flamed because people already know, if you don't know I would appreciate the thanks.
Titanium is great for keeping important data but a better and easier way to get a real fresh start after wipe is appbrain.
Do Titanium full backup
install appbrain and fast web install
sync
login to appbrain online and rename your prime list to old
wipe/factory reset
reinstall appbrain and fast web install be sure to enable fast web install
sync
log in to your appbrain account and copy the apps from old to your new device
open appbrain on device
sync
install
watch a movie while all your apps download without needing you
restore data from titanium where needed, restore programs that are not in the market
????
profit
The difference here is that you don't restore any corrupted programs from Titanium
Doesn't anyone know how the built-in ASUS app backup works? Is it affected by the factory reset?
^ im curious on this also. im willing to try this.

I'm going to say it does, since it wipes the SD card. But if you put a microSD or regular SD you should be able to save to that instead, then restore from that after. It might be as good as Titanium, or app brain, I think part of the key is not restoring data, apps only.

Works a treat. I used it. The only thing is if savedata (like levels in games) is saved on sd, you are going to loose it. But it can be always manually copied. Any other app which saves logins and such in /data (i think it's /data will be fine). And no root needed.
To OP, done it before. No difference. My TFP never been sluggish, just suffers from occasional browser freeze, well, more than occasional, and reboots when certain apps fc. Wipe didn't fix that.

so after factory reset, i can go google play and reinstall all my old previously bought apps? or i need to pay for it again?

Lol yeah, you can re-download your apps It keeps up with everything you pay for and even with most of the free stuff you install. Easier route may be to use ASUS's App Backup or if you're rooted Titanium Backup (Pro is worth it).
After doing a full wipe at lunch i can confirm my prime seems much snappier. Also my dolphin browser works flawless finally. Asus back up did not work for me.

Me neither. Can anyone explain in detail how you use Asus backup? I'm almost tempted to root just for Titanium at this point
How is your prime after the fresh wipe?

Asus backup looks fairly simple. Just open the app, then choose the apps you want to backup. There is a check for data only or data and application near the top right. Choose data and app if you want both, but for some reason you can only do 600MB, not sure why. But if you have it under that (I unchecked all my games and got it low enough) then you can hit the backup button on the top, which then has a (Checkbox) option to also save to the microsd or SD card plugged in
ic. Very informative.
Haven't played with the SD slot on the Prime so I guess I have a reason now =)
You also have an option to save a copy to the MicroSD, card if it's mounted. I'm in the process of a wipe now and will let you know about the restore using the ASUS backup. I've used TB in the past but haven't rooted this unit yet and so can only speak to the ASUS backup.

To be just a little more precise, the ASUS backup app creates a file in the ASUS folder that can be copied to a PC, USB drive, to the cloud, or whatever, and then copied back to the same folder when the wipe is done. Then apps and data can be selectively restored. Works well.

The past few times I've done a full titanium backup (All apps and system data), it will reboot immediately after finishing. It has done it on 2 different ROMs (Flex and Mean). Anyone having this issue? Did I miss the change log for TB and this is now supposed to happen?
You should avoid restoring system data, especially across different roms. Only user apps/data.

Thank you - yes, I typically do not restore any system data, but I do back it up just in case and also - I am a pack-rat.
Just to clarify - I am getting the reboot after the backing up of apps/data - not on the restore.
Ah, my mistake. Did you try un installing and then reinstalling titanium, then run the backup again. Or maybe creating a new backup folder?

Titanium is reinstalled whenever I flash a new Rom, so at least one of these instances it should have been a fresh install. I have not done anything with the backup folder, I like that idea. I think I'll dump all by backups and create them all again. Thanks for the idea.
Yea, I've had to do that before, it sucks, but sometimes things get corrupted.

Update: one backup in particular was causing it to bring the while phone down. It was the wifi access points saved by titanium.
I noticed this was the last thing it was backing up before the reboot, and also ran the verify backups batch run, which turned up the bad backup.
Deleting that one particular backup did not make a difference. Had to manually go into the wifi settings and "forget" all the networks I don't use daily, and then it would make the backup just fine without crashing.

Nice, glad you figured it out
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Searched high and low and couldn't find this thread, so figured out essentially the same solution on my own after couple hours of running batch backups and reboots. Backing up the xml version of WiFi Access Points and only if WiFi was actually on was the culprit, but the reboot usually happened 1-5 apps after it, so it took me a while to pinpoint the exact cause.
Figured I would just uncheck it every time I run a full batch backup, but your solution of forgetting unused APs in WiFi settings did the trick for me. It must have been some public AP with a weird name that Titanium didn't like. Thanks again.

BIG thanks for figuring this out - was having the same problem with HTC One S, and it was driving me mad - I have a PIN on my SIM card, so every time it backed up during the night, the phone sat at the PIN entry until I entered it in the morning...meaning my phone was "offline" for a few hours!
In my case, I found it was actually a duplicate SSID that seemed to cause the problems - not sure how it got in there, but was probably when migrating backups from one phone to another. The duplicate only seemed to cause problems for the XML backup - deleted it, and all is well!

I've had this problem for awhile now myself, have written to Titanium Backup support twice now and they still haven't responded. How Rude! Especially since I'm a paid customer and I told them this was causing my backups to fail.
Like y'all I was able to determine it was the XML version of Wi-Fi Access Points that was causing the crash, but since there's no easy way to exclude just a single file, I had to create a FILTER I named "Not Excluded" and added everything except the Wi-Fi XML file to it. I then used that Filter in the scheduled Backup job. The only problem with this method is I have to remember to manually check for new items I've installed and manually add them to that filter group myself or they won't get backed up.
I can't believe they won't address this issue for us, particularly when their release notes say they did so for another model phone.
Oh and unfortunately, I did try the suggestion here about removing/forgetting the open Wi-Fi networks saved in my list but that didn't help. It still crashed on that one file.

Hey guys, I just ran into this problem and I figured out how to workaround it without having to add new apps when needed. Instead of creating a filter that includes the XML WiFI Access Points, I excluded it. After I created label, I think it wasn't until I backed out, came back in, then (maybe) created filter did I see the invert option in regards to the label. So I checked it and the label, then I noticed XML WiFi's weren't even listed in main list as I had it filtered (excluded), then I selected the filter (didn't try label) in the scheduled task, then voila! It worked! I just wanted to share so anyone with this problem can utilize this solution.:good:
This solution actually worked for me on my Galaxy note 2. I Could not figure out why my phone would reboot after running TB every night. I deleted both WiFi entries and ran the backup with no reboot. Thanks
Did a recent factory reset a little while back and to be honest it seems l lost everything even though the backup function was supposed to be active .
Anyway, been considering a new factory reset and with that in mind looking for backup solutions etc. Note I'm not rooted or anything...
suggestions?

titanium backup all the way. its the best backup solution so long as you are rooted. you dont have to be unlocked to use it, just rooted.
If you are unlocked id suggest a nandroid backup.
hope this helps

On JB, App Backup ( which also supposedly backs up app data as well ) is a factory installed program. Since you agree to the Asus bound EULA upon starting it up, im guessing its an ASUS app too

Well, If you can unlock your bootloader, Id suggest TWRP to create entire dumps of your current setup. If im not mistaken, titanium can pull the data from cwm / twrp dumps and restore pretty much everything. If you need a hand with unlocking and installing TWRP, you can pm me and ill walk you through it. Its not terribly difficult although you will need a computer nearby.

No problem My understanding is that ASUS , while a pain in the A$$ with warranty issues, will still take care of hardware ones with an unlocked / modded tf201. They just wont cover it if you brick it yourself.

I use Apex Launcher which is damn close to the stock launcher. It has a backup settings / desktop content setting built in. Im not sure but check to see if there is an entry in the app backup program for "Launcher2". If so, you are good to go as thats the program name for the OEM launcher

No, it doesn't take a backup of your home screen.
It does a pretty good job on backing apps and data, but you'll need to "rebuild" your home screen.

no it doesnt, it only backs up apps and app date (some games wont work - i found this the hard way).
best thing to save home screen layouts is just take a screen shot and re-do.

i wouldnt rely on this from Asus, ive seen people with things which are clearly hardware issues and they wont fix or they have really had to fight for it. basically if you unlock id take it as asus wont support you, anything on top of that is a bonus. ive insured mine.
As has been said, no the ASUS app doesnt backup home screen layouts. My cell phone camera however does.
I just went through this 3 days ago when exchange stopped synching and all the removing and re-adding of the account did not help.
All my apps except ironically the stock browser didnt have favorites I had set and bad piggies was at square one.
It also didnt backup my VPN settings, pictures/videos, screen timeouts and most basic OS settings (weather loc, temp in F etc..). The cam stuff I copied off via USB sync.
Basically after the restore I got my apps back, but no icons. I then used the pics I took with my cell phone to redo the homescreen. Then I set up email, VPN, basic OS settings. Had to log in to many of the apps that were restored. Chrome saved bookmarks so I loaded those and copied the URL to ASUS browser to restore them.
so in short a very manual job one way or another. But seriously lads thanks for the tips... been considering RAM of my tab the past few days , and have tons of custom settings and apps that I'd like to keep. Kinda sad that no auto solution has poped up.

Suggestions on how to save vpn settings?
Salaam,
Please help me as I made a little mistake that is costing me a lot.
I moved from Galaxy S4 to Galaxy Note 2.
Everytime I take a new phone, during initial setup it gives me to restore my settings from Google which when I enable I get all my saved wifi-access points.
This time however by mistake I didn't allow Google to restore that data in my Note 2 so now I haven't got any saved WiFi passwords.
I had backup of all user and system data from S4 via titanium backup and I tried to restore WiFi access points in Note2 which wont work (maybe compatibility or something, I don't know)
So,
how can i re-enable or force a re-sync that Google to restore my WiFi access points to my mobile or what can i do to get all my saved WiFi profiles back.
Please help as I don't know the passwords of most of them.
Thanks.
same problem
The same thing happened to me and I found this thread trying to find a solution. There has to be a way to force a re-sync of connections from Google. Doesn't anyone know how?

I don't know how you can force resync your connections, but if you haven't wiped your s4 then in a root file browser go to /data/misc/wifi/ and open wpa_supplicant.conf. All your WiFi points, the SSID, passwords, security type, etc. Is stored in there. You can't copy the whole file over directly but you can at least use the info in it to manually enter your WiFi points. Hope this is a good enough work around
Yea, I had a nexus 4 that had my files on, unfortunately I just wiped it like 2 days ago. I'd Google would normally automatic, can I hypothetically login with the wiped phone, have it sync, then transfer as you suggest?
