Hi there,
New user to Android/SGS2, enjoying the phone very much but one persistent problem I have been experiencing:
I am trying to logon to Windows Live Messenger through either Social Hub / IM app. When I try to add the account, the error "Error Occurred" keeps popping up but gives no details. Does anyone know how to work around it?? I've been searching for a solution but really couldn't find anything...
If I've posted this in the wrong section or if someone has already asked the question on here, I apologize.
Regards,
MW
Don't you need a Samsung account to log in?
I could be wrong!!
I did set up the samsung account...
Although I never got any communication on activation from samsung for activating the account but I have the account on the phone.
In order for the IM and push email feature to work, you need to have an active Samsung Social Hub accout. I found out the hard way after having done a hard reset.
First, what country are you're at? I'm in the USA on at&t, if you are in the USA (bad news):
In the USA, samsung social hub is not supported, so I had to download a 3rd party app called "enabler codes" and it changed the market app world region to fool my Galaxy SII to think I was in Australia, and the samsung social hub feature did finally work "perfectly", until I found out my market app would not download any (none) US compatible app as simple as paypal, eBay, Soundhound and so on...so I had to end up doing a hard reset to restore.
I used MarketEnabler (must be rooted) to switch to AU (Telstra) to set up my google chat account. I have since switched back to my original Market and the ability to create other accounts is still there.
FYI Also, running on the AT&T network.

I'm having the exact same problem in Canada using an unlocked phone from the UK. I called samsung's social hub here in Canada and all the said was do a factory reset, which I don't advise as it made no difference. I tried making a social hub account online and I get another error message saying my IMEI can't be used. Anyone have other suggestions? Perhaps I may to resort to rooting and follow the method outlined previously.
thanks
I had a horrible experience in which I switched to the same Australian market and could not go back to my US at&t settings. Last time I had to do a hard reset b/c for some reason my market place was not showing no USA apps at all, simple apps like paypal, fb, eBay and so on...
In the end I had to do a hard reset. and I'm back to step one.
Will give it another shot today.
Woo Hoo!
This worked like a champ for me.
1. Download MarketEnabler
2. Back up your original settings...
3. Switch to Telestra (AU)
4. Input your IM settings.
5. Restore your original regional settings.
All is working great!
Thanks for the thread.
Hey did you experience the market apps for US disappearing?

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 ^_^

Try TexTab...sends and receives over Bluetooth between your phone and tab. Works really well

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.
- To regret one's own experiences is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one's own life.
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)

The version from the Whatsapp website doesn't support custom roms?
Its great to know it by your sharing thanks a lot

Long time I was looking for that
Thanks jorisvdende !
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

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks

OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.

Hi,
I've just purchase Huawei Mate 10 few days ago and had used Phone Clone to restore all apps and files from my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Initially, i've no problem using any apps until yesterday, the 4th day of using it,when i opened my email, i can only see the list but when i click to any list to see the the body of the emails, it will only show the header and empty body content (i used BlueMail & MyMail). This is also happened with other apps (e.g. news in Meta Trader 4). Initally, the body content appear on & off but starting today, it does not appear at all.
Please help on what should i do next. So far, i've uninstalled and re-installed the mentioned apps and restart my device but the issue still not solved.
Thanks & regards,
Ally.
Same for me...
Besides, i had problem with gmail (forceclose sometimes) so i configured email app from huawei for now...
Same with my device, my workaround:
close the app, then open chrome browse 2 or 3 websites and then open aquamail or other apss that did not display correctly, they work.
STRANGE behavior I hope they will fix it soon it's really annoying. B
It works
