this looks like a whatapp-due problem, which is not solved (and probably womt bcuz android 2.X.X is outdated ) (my friend had problems too with whatsapp and facebook-msgr, when he tried out old-fashioned cm7.2 on his galaxy.. ) we switched back to ics and it was gone , he use mobile networks...
maybve u try friends sim, to look if whatsapp works better on mobile networks?
if not come to 4.X.X
BTW! MAN THIS IS WRONG THREAD!!! IT'S Q&A!!! help keep xda clean and say it also others who post questions/reqeust/etc. to themes and apps!!!
thank U!"
peace, bejunk

ok. and yes i understand u gb is simple and good in games :good: no comparement to 4+, and everybody should use the rom that fits him as well
hmm, the problem is look: like u say u try diffrent kinds of GB rom's , we can say its not software-due, also u installed whatsapp more times(not restored from titanium etc) and may in app data ? so we can say its not a apk-problem, last what can be were provider problems but u using wifi so i cant be.......
... i have really no idea...
did have gb synchronization? and did u wipe also /data on fresh install? did us e use any apps like taskillers , greenify etc???
.. dont kow more at this tme:crying:
and for the Q&A: if think ur wrong bcuz
1. read the rules (also in Q&A) if u tick ''this is an answer'' /requests for somewhat --> it belongs to Q&A
2. i think u missunderstand the forum title as this is an development forum 'apps' is meant as: ready developed/modified/or in devolping APPS!
in this section u post only 'new' stuff u maked/modded - QUESTIONS are forbidden ; ONLY THREAD-related --> so if ur on an thread about an mod there u can post questions!/requests.
.. some people also post requests here bcuz they havent read the rules or simply dunno '

lolzzz....check this...
ME to the developers: I have a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i) with android 2.3. My
whatsapp works very slow, it seems like my whatsapp gets internet
connectivity after every 2 minutes, because all my messages are sent after
every 2 minutes, and I even receive messages after every 2 minutes. In
between these 2 minutes I can't check anyone's last seen or their display
picture and can't even update my status.
And if I use android 4.0, my whatsapp works very well, there is no such
problem. But due to some reasons I want gingerbread on my phone, so please
fix this problem.

Hmmm...have you ever wonder if this problem is more related to custom kernel rather than whatsapp or the ROMs itself????
Some user forget that the Custom Kernel is also related in internet connectivity...some Custom Kernel (i won't mention which one) have a problem in synchronizing with FB, Games and other social app such as Whatsapp...i know this cause i have been using a couple of Custom Kernel on the same router just to see the different and i can confirm some of them do have synchronizing problem....

maybe u r right...bcoz i used the same kernel in all roms (miui,joyos and other cm7 based) as all those rom developers recommended that kernel...but right now i am on fxp kernel, and it has the same problem...and what about stock kernel?? as far as i remember, it has the same problem (i didnt use stock for a long time)...so can it b a kernel problem?

---

as iPusak Gaoq™ said it can be a kernel problem, i tried stock kernel and stock rom again...and yes there is some improvement, but yet sometimes there are connectivity drops...stock rom+stock kernel has better whtsp than cm7 based roms and kernels..but not yet as perfect as 4.0...but anyways its manageable...thanks everyone for help
EDIT: i noticed something..in stock rom...i cant check anyones last seen or cant send message...but, as soon as i go in my contact list and click 'refresh' evrything wrks fine...
