Whatsapp is driving me insane.. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys i downloaded and installed the lates XXELL4 BTU stock ever since i installed this i can't verify my whatsapp it fails. Then it says call me to verify i click it it says failed.
I've tried changing roms, changing modems still no luck it is driving me nuts i need my whatsapp for group chats i have on there. And i know my you guys will say uninstall and re install but i tried new whatsapp old whatsapp. I just want to get back on whatsapp.
Does anyone else have a similar problem Please help me i have not been able to get on whatsapp since yesterday..

This happened the first time I transferred my sim to my new phone. For a few days, Whatsapp just wouldn't verify. Then it got automatically sorted out. I have no idea how. Maybe you could just wait it out.

Oh man so there is nothing i can do. I guess i will have to wait it out.. Thanks for your help..

My net must of gone retarded. and double posted sorry..

You might want to check out Whatsapp's FAQ pages. I'm sure they'll have something related to this error. Many other people have experienced this. Maybe it's just one of their server errors.

Yeah it didn't help i was on the whatsapp website for hours. Looking at FAQ's. Related Problems etc. I checked my connection's i can make calls and receive calls. Also can send and receive text messages. I checked to see if my roaming was off. I manually selected Vodafone UK. Requested Vodafone settings from Vodafone. I tried to use my mobile internet then my wifi.
I guess i will have to wait it out. It just sucks that all my mates are complaining that i have not been on all day etc.. And my gf and i are having to resort to using ****y kik messenger lol.. I hate texting i just don't know why.. But do like using messengers just feels better and you can backup your convo's easily..

Yeah.. I can understand. It sucks when WhatsApp gives trouble.
You can contact them and ask for a direct solution if it still doesn't work.

messaging service stopped working

[solved!]
hey guys.
something weird happend on my athena. all of a sudden, the messaging service stopped working. "messaging" wont open. even the sms feature of spbdiary wont load. i cant receive sms. i simply cant send/receive sms. even if i use different applications for sending sms. i dont do rom upgrades. and i havent installed/configured anything today.
anybody knows what i should do first? im hoping there might be a workaround other than a hardreset. i already did softresets a couple of times.

Try flashing Mitchy's rom.
the thing is, after reading all through the horror stories here at the forum, concerning flashing roms, im still hesitant to do it myself.
unless maybe you can guide me through all the way tootalk?
i have x7501 bought from the states. also, in a few words, what are the best things that mitchys rom have?
im surprised nobody else had experienced this problem before.
ciao!
if you installed any of those "lost and found" tools, then that's most likely the problem
since i had exactly your problem, until i removed those programs.
those programs might be good,
but unfortunately, it takes your SMS hostage, and wont release it.
making your SMS useless.
so i opted to have SMS, and well too bad if the phone gets lost, then it's lost.
yay! time to buy a new one the perfect excuse
hey allgamer,
what do you mean by "lost and found" tool? you mean like those security apps that sends messages to the owner just in case the phone got stolen? i have two of those installed, but i installed them a couple of months ago, and i never had any problems concerning them.
i'm now researching on how to flash my rom with mitchy.

Sorry for the delay dude. Shoot me a PM with your yahoo or AIM/AOL id and I can walk you through the steps to flashing with his ROM. To be honest, it's way faster and better than any factory ROM. I'm at the point now where If I don't even want to touch any PDA's with factory ROM's anymore lol.... I suggest you read up on how to CID unlock the phone first before you anything else.
messaging comes back if i remove memorycard
the messaging service works whenever i remove the memorycard, so i'm beginning to think that there might be an app that's messing around with the system.
another problem though, after i put back the memory card, the system created a "memory card" folder on the root file system. and the real memorycard now is called "memorycard2". the inbox folder has been created inside "memory card" folder.
anyway, i'm trying to muster up my courage and am going to accept tootalk's generous offer of helping me up with my very first rom flashing.
UPDATED:
i renamed the folder "memory card" which the system created, to "memory card err" and then rebooted. the messaging service is now back to normal.
but i'll still check out on the flashing.
ciao!

[Q] Missing Google+ notifications

So ever since I first rooted my phone I havent been receiving google+ notifications. When I was running stock, I got them just fine. Now I am running UnNamed and I dont get them. Ive put up with it for weeks now but Its really annoying and ive been searching everywhere for a fix. Anyone else have this problem?

rooting by itself has no bearing on any application data. i really have a desire to get this drilled into people's brains.
ROM and ROOT are 2 completely different things. everyone says, 'ever since i rooted.....' but actually they rooted THEN flashed a ROM....and they want to blame the act of rooting to be the cause of the problem..... i apologize, but its a pet peeve of mine that so many people have no effing clue what rooting actually is.
after you flashed the rom, did you go into your accounts section and verify that G+ is set to sync? by default it is off
Well im glad you got that rant out of your system. I never once thought that rooting it caused my notifications to stop. I was simply stating that they worked before, and now they dont.
Ok, when i first got the phone i didnt have sync on either and i still got the notifications. I just enabled it and had a friend send me a notification and still no luck.
Update: I have no idea why this was happening but i manually synced my google account again and now the notifications are working. this is really odd but im not complaining
if anyone else has this problem, try what i did
Update 2: so another thing it could be. i had the gmail app frozen with TB because i was tired of getting duplicate email notifications and now that i did the re sync, it unfroze the app. could be something there

like i said, its a pet peeve. when someone starts off by saying, it was working before i rooted....it indicates that they think the root somehow caused <insert random problem here>, or are just trying to somehow link the 2 items....this is because so many people have no idea what root actually consists of and what it does. they just think its the cool thing to do....
if you freeze gmail, im pretty sure a lot of stuff would stop working properly that ties directly to your gmail account.

[Q] sms sniffing

Greetings to everyone
I have question about security. I have to know what options are there to find out sms conversation. I use Handcent sms in which I use privacy box with one person to determine that noone else except me would know what we are texting about. But one thing happened. Third person know what exactly we are texting about, even if I constantly deleted sms everyday. I can't imagine the way how he find out this.
I study software development so about security I know something. I know that handcent saves database of sms even if they are deleted or not. I used sqlite to find out what is exactly in the db and find out, that this is not right way how he find out. I also find out that in handcent autobackup option was checked, but noticed that when you delete sms, backup file changed and there were only sms i intented to be there. I also tried antivirus programs to find out if there is some kind of malware or trojan, nothing found.
So my question is: what options of finding out sms conversation are there? Even if third person can access mentioned mobile phone or not?
I will appreciate any good advice

Was it a known person? Or a random person? If he was a friend/person you know, then he either heard through the grape vine or got your phone or the person you were textings phone. I dont think there is a way to "hack" your phone from a computer and view the texts you sent. Unless he got them from your carrier.

Yes, it was person we both know. He had access to the phone, but with deleted sms with no backup.. It's possible to get this informartion through mobile operator?

Yes it is but would need to go through tones of red tape and have to be a Cop of some kind.
Most likely it was who ever you were texting. There are also other ways that it could happen. Apps that forward all texts to another number used to be a big one back in windows mobile days. Not sure if there is an app like that for android

It's probably the problem that this person has a friend which works for vodafone which this phone uses. Forwarding all texts is not possible i think, because this person would catch up on this earlier..

There used to be an app that could be installed that did all this with the user even knowing about it. Once installed it was hidden away and it never showed that the messages would be forwarded. It was a proof of concept app that someone made for learning. If they had someone working for the company it would have to be a higher up to have access to the cached data bases the company keeps which are encrypted.
I have a feeling the OP was ratted out by the one they were texting.

Ok, thank you for your advice. So if there is hidden app registered as service it can be seen through logcat when I intent to send sms, am I right?
About the company, this person works here on higher places, dont realy know what is his position some kind of IT specialist, gonna investigate this..

WhatsApp problem

I went from a LG P500 to a Xperia S and even tho the battery on this thing is useless i love the phone.
I only got the phone recently and i have ICS 4.0.4 / 6.1.A.2.45 and i had everything working perfectly.
However whatsapp out of the blue stopped sending messages i just get the little clock next to the message and i dont get the two arrows.
So then someone sent me a message and all the messages i had with the clock next to them finaly sent out.
I have reset the phone but whatsapp is refusing to send messages also refuse to get them now also, the weird thing is viber works fine as do the rest of my apps and net works fine.
Any idea of the cause please ?
WhatsApp had/has issues today with the service. They didn't inform anybody about it, but people all around the world are effected. That doesn't mean every user.
