My phone was starting to get extremely laggy at times. I had thousands of text messages, so I deleted them all (it took hours). And now my phone is fast as hell. Not sure if this has been said before, but it might as well be repeated because I was getting really frustrated and didn't realize storing texts could slow my phone down that much.

And call logs too.
BTW, there is a free market app for deleting text messages in groups called "Delete Old Messages" - snappy name, eh? You can tell it to "delete everything older than 60 days", 30 days, etc. It works pretty well, even on stock Sense phones that are choked with text messages. If you have thousands and thousands of them it will go slowly, but in an unattended fashion - that's way better than deleting them thread-by-thread. It also has a progress bar so you can tell whether it is making any headway.
every try installing a task killer or memory app?

yep, didn't help much.
i had probably several thousand texts in there though, with pictures sometimes too
Is it me or anyone else having issues with whatsapp.
Sometimes it just does not notify me of a new msg, until I open the application (whatsapp). Probably, I guess its a glitch on the application side and not with Windows 7.5.. just comfirming, if others too are facing the same problem?!
same here with kik (whatsapp like)
if the lumia is on standby mode I receive new messages only when I unlock the screen and open the app
hmm.. seems like windows stops the installed application on standy mode... as the integrated mail system works fine.
I don't know if it's right or these apps aren't mango optimized
I have spotify streaming great even with the screen locked
same here ... i also think the start up is very slow
I have noticed this problem after the whatsapp update for group chat...
alright so its almost confirmed its the problem with the software and not our windows mango.. hope the developers tries to fix it, if its fixable..
how is the battery drain after installing whatsapp.
I had installed whatsapp sometime back on my Nokia E71 and it completely trashed the battery (I mean 100 to 0 in 2 hrs without even using the phone sometimes)
So is the version of whatsapp for wp7 better to battery
well Haven't noticed any significant drain..
I didn't notice battery draining but i have some issues too. It does notify new message also when the application is closed but when i open it i can sit down and wait till the next day to see the new message. I can say after a month experience that it works very bad.
WhatsApp for WP7 is glitchy and I think it does impact the battery. The developer really need to fix and optimize it better.
Yes, it seems to eat up the battery like crazy. My Lumia has pretty mediocre battery life already, but WhatsApp makes it even worse. Today I unplugged at 100%, sent 5 messages, received 7, and then left it alone. Less than an hour later I came back to find that my battery is now at 85%.
Not to mention that messages (on EDGE, mind you), take at least 10 minutes to deliver/receive. On WiFi it's almost instantaneous.

battery is still great after whatsapp.
have you ever used an android? battery does not last more than 24 hours.
anyway lets hope dev fix whatsapp asap. some times i do not receive new sms till i start application.
Not sure about the battery issue. But I did notice a few things about WhatsApp.
1. It does receive messages when its lying on my desk, if you have the tile for this enabled. Not sure if works with Tile disabled.
2. It only picks up Windows live phone numbers, and not FB phone numbers, even though both numbers are visible in the contact list and available in other apps, e.g. Voxofon, etc.
3. Battery issue, yes it does seem to consume a little extra battery with this app.
IMO, the app is not really optimised for WP environment, and is just a quick place-holder port onto this OS.
I really hope they update the app to fix the issue with accessing the FB numbers from Contact list.
EDIT:
Another suggestion for WhatsApp developers will be to use an IM service gateway, so that the WhatssApp messaging can be integrated into the beautiful messaging system in WP by just adding an account into the email/accounts menu.
This will allow users to seamlessly switch from text to WhatsApp to FB and so on, without losing the thread.
There's a new update for Whatsapp.
Another Problem.. dont know How did i missed to mention it, the first time...

Yes, pictures send/receive works fine. If on G it takes forever, fast and seamless on 3G/WiFi.

1.6
I did uninstall/install to get the update as it refused to prompt me although I had 1.5 installed.
Hi I normally only use my smartphone for Facebook and whatsapp and first I was cool with that, but since I got in a whatsapp group that statusbar is annoying me as hell.
Whenever I get multiple messages on whatsapp it is always showing ''2 messages from 2 persons'' (or more) and I hate to just be on whatsapp to see who has been texting me. If its someone important I will open whatsapp to see but since whatsapp groups only talks about **** I just want to click it away.
Also something I hate but never really caught my eye before was that whenever I click away something in the statusbar it always pops back (why the **** is that?) later the day. I didn't clicked it away for nothing and my android phone really starts to piss me off (I run 2.3.5 on samsung galaxy S+ ) .
So what do you guys think is the best solution for me? Buy a new phone (heard apple shows who's been texting you on whatsapp on statusbar) , is there an hidden option in settings I didn't know off? Hack my phone or something else? I really hate being always online on my phone anyways, got better things to do.
Thanks in regards,
Dafoq

I have the same Issue. cleared all txt msgs, once I get about 10 msgs or so in a convo it takes between 10-20 seconds to load the txt msgs. NOT to mention it takes about 20 seconds to SEND a message (MMS take even longer). I txt all the time, im quick at it, replying to a lot of ppl fast since the 4.2.2 update takes FOREVER.
I cant find a lot of people with the same issue just a few comments here or there on the stories about the update coming out.
what I did, and I don't like doing it is downloading a free SMS app. lighting fast. better then the stock. I love the phone it worked great before the update, I don't understand why it changed.
Hello all.
I think a lot of people had some kind of problems with whatsapp in windows phone, but ultimately they were just a minnor annoyance.
However, since the last 2 updates of whatsapp (the ones which adds Status), the backround task stops working after a small while.
I have marked Whatsapp to run always under lockscreen, but this doesn't seem to be working.
For instance, I enabled and watched the phone' web portal looking for the WhatsApp.ServerHost.exe. After a while, it disappears and Whatsapp Web just says "Phone not connected".
However, if I go to the "Apps" in the same web portal, and launch whatsapp, it of course comes back to life, and Whatsapp Web works again.
Is there a way to make it work ALWAYS?
I mean, anything else besides that setting that I've mentioned. I guess I could write a simple c# in my PC (or even better, in the phone) doing this, but thats a waste of processing power.
Thanks in advance!!
PS: My phone is a Lumia 1020 @ 14393.448, it has 2GB of RAM and I dont think it closes the applications because ram is low...
is global problem for all WP/WM devices and OS. be patient...
Yes, I know since I used WP phones for about 4 years or se. But the last update was a real killer, thats the point of the post.
notification seems working again
looks like it was a server problem cz it's working very good without an update
Um here seems to still quit working randomly. It works for about 10 or 20 minutes when the phone is locked. I've developed a small tool that launches whatsapp if it sees the service is not running (using the web portal of the phone). That makes the whatsapp web happy for a while, but im getting tired of this.
Oh and by the way, the notifications seems to be working OK, but the problem resides in the whatsapp web, which shows "phone not connected" (as I stated in the first post)
