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

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.

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)

Hi, I recently dropped my Vibrant and the screen is broken. Now I don't need to get it fixed because I already ordered a new phone a few days ago, but I do need the data on the Vibrant. Is there any way to extract the data like contacts from the phone? And I think usb storage is off
edit: was able to blindly enable usb mass storage if that helps
You don't have your contacts sync'd to your gmail?

apparently not, it looks like it hasn't been updated in while since it's missing a lot of contacts

Do you have the Android sdk installed on your pc?
Can you recall if "USB Debugging" was enabled on your phone?
If you meet the criteria above well here is your answer.

This little handy program will allow you to control your phone via your pc. This should help you navigate through your phone and sync your contacts to your gmail account.

Give the phone to me and I will switch the MB on your phone to my phone and get the information for you. (my phone has lost the capability to use SIM card so currently I use it for a music player.) PM me.
I have a vibrant with a wonky connection somehwere, but perfectly functioning screen. If you sell the phone to me then I'd be happy to pull whatever data I can off of it and send you a CD/DVD/Flash drive with everything on it.
Ideally, I'd like to use your logic board to get my vibrant back in working condition.
Hi there, a long time reader of this forum. First time posting and grateful for any advice please?
Will keep it brief, Galaxy S3, phone works but black screen. Cannot see or do anything with it but can hear it working and see notification light etc. About to send it in to be repaired by Three UK. They have advised me it will be reset and lose all data. I obviously don't want that to happen but I've been either too (a) stupid or (b) lazy to back up before, take your pick which one.
Question is, is there any way I can back up now without being able to work the screen? Can I view the screen and control the phone on the PC somehow? I've searched other threads and found a mention of androidscreencast but it seems that is for rooted phones only? Mine is standard stock Three UK firmware, never been touched etc.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated folks, thank you.
Teamviewer quicksupport. You'll have to kind of guess the location of the notification and the app etc though. I know there's yhe adb backup option if you wish to try it.
Lemme add to this when I get home. Will try figure out whereabouts you need to touch to get the app set up. Don't try downloading it yet.
[Edit] tried it and it won't work. Too much typing and sharing code involved to see it work properly. I guess you have the adb option left.

Hi folks,
i just googled my ass off, thinking someone must have had the same idea that I just came up with. Unfortunately to no avail.
Is it possible to run some of the stock kindle apps on other devices?
The reason I'm askin is that I just saw my dad usin his KFHD7 calendar application and I liked it better than any other calendar app I've seen for Android.
Could anyone provide me with an apk? Does the kindle even use APKs for its stock apps? My father is unfortunately not a root-guy, so I cannot get the files from him. I'd really like to try it on my Asus tablet and on my HTC One X which both have similar display resolutions.
Thank you very much in advance guys, really appreciate your efforts.:good:
EDIT, see below: Answer is No. Apps do FC instantly. Please close topic

i simply deleted all my kindle apps, not deleted, moved to sd card them all and backuped them all without anty problem, my tablet work without them, but i think they dont work for other devices
Don't know but I've zipped up a few (Calendar & Email) if you want to test them, not sure if they rely on other resources or APKs?
http://www.mediafire.com/?8zfxhb8v94j5cra
@persano: I'm afraid I don't really get what you're trying to bring across - are you saying you backuped your kindle-apks and could provide me with the calendar? I'm not sure...
No offence intended - might be a langauge thing...
edit: @Gilly10: Thanks, I'll try them out right away!! :good:
edit2: Jeeeezz, seems as if my provider is slowing down media fire on purpose. couldn't even load the webpage on my pc. had to use my phone to get there. now the download of 10ish mb is taking ages. i hate it. 81% and pending /rant
OK. The file finally arrived.
The good thing is: My question's answered now.
The bad thing is: The answer is 'no'.
App FCs instantly, no matter if it's installed by tapping it or if it's put into /system/app with appropriate permissions.
Tried it on an HTC OneX with a custom Jelly Bean Mod. Could install it, couldn't start it.
Tried it on an Asus Transformer TF101 with Stock ICS. Couldn't install it at all (package name already in use).
Thank you for your quick help guys!
Thread can be closed!

no no and no, i said that my kinlde work without them but other device wont work with them,
Hi, basically the glass smashed on the front of my S3 so i decided to try and fix it myself. Stupidly I managed to break the amoled screen underneath so I now have a phone (that works and turns on) with just a black screen. I can still answer calls by pressing one of the volume buttons but that's pretty much it.
I could really do with finding a way to control my phone from my pc so I can install apps, check emails etc (just until i send it off to get repaired). But this seems to only be possible through rooting the phone.
Reading through some of the tutorials on rooting it seems you need to give permission to go into download mode etc, and you need to be in usb debugging mode (which my phone isnt).
Im just wondering if there's any workaround to this, or if there's any software out there that will give me full control of the phone without having to launch an app or touch the screen at all. I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try!
Thanks in advance!
There are a number of broken screen posts use search.
A clue use ADB
Root will void warranty .

i think airdroid does not need you to be rooted... but since you cant see your screen... thats gonna be hard

Yeah that's the problem, I can install the app from the web store, but it needs to be opened before it'll work - although I do have a hdmi output lead which could make things easier?
oh if you have hdmi out, then it will be so much easier.
or you can use
Code:
adb shell
am start -n com.sand.airdroid/com.sand.airdroid.ActivityName
not too sure about the activity name though
