Hi
I'm a few days away from my OGWhatsapp app expiring and am desperate to find an alternative as I travel constantly between countries and having two active whatsapp accounts on my phone is an invaluable part of my life.
I've stumbled across some alternatives from this site:
http://faresandroid.blogspot.com.es/2015/01/4.html
Namely, i'm looking at ENWhatsapp and SAWhatsapp. I'm wondering whether these apks are ok as I fear installing any sort of malware or SMS trojan on my Samsung S4 Mini Duos i9192.
Many thanks
I use this one and think it is perfect, no isues in months. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339647
Thanks. Does it notify you of received messages from both accounts instantly or do you need to switch between accounts to pick up the messages?
Use this xxwhatsapp
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwqhldcwrdx350w/xxWhatsApp1.15-1.apk?dl=0
It's base on Ogwhatsapp mode last version. But it's still working. It's modified in order to not to be detected by the expiration of the 472 whatsapp server base.
Thanks MuD-GMZ. That seems to work well. Only thing is that I have to switch between the two accounts manually to see if i've received messages. A little bit annoying.
ppsa, is xxWhatsapp safe? I get the same pre-installation access warnings as SAWhatsapp and ENWhatsapp. What particularly worries me is the access the app has to sending and receiving SMS's (see attached screenshot). Not sure this if this normal though considering that I guess the app needs a whatsapp verification code via sms to activate it.
What do you think?
Many thanks!

I'm currently using the 2 lines for whatsapp until I investigate how safe the others are. Not getting much feedback regarding the xxwhatsapp, ENWhatsapp or SAWhatsapp....

Exactly. That's why I want to know if any of the other unofficial whatsapps are safe so that i can have two whatsapps active at the same time
In the end I tried ENWhatsapp + other variants and none of them seem to work. I get an error during the installation process that oddly states that '"the app expired on May 18th 2060"!!
I am, though, using a Playstore app called Disa Beta:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa&hl=en
It has a strange UI but it allows me to do exactly what I was looking for: have 2 whatsapp accounts simultaneously active on my dual sim phone.
I've used it, but it's not as friendly to use
It works again? Thanks.

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any app around that does the work of an answering machine. An app that will probably answer the call after a specific amount of rings and save the callers' message on the SD card. This was an idea I got from a few years ago when we were discussion open software for cellphones. I'd love to know if it's already been done.
Thanks.
Anyone know of such an app?
google voice ??
I would vote for YouMail.
It actually downloads your VM messages from the "cloud" and stores them on your SD card.
It also has other nice features.
Best of all, everything is FREE!!!
I also use youmail its the best app out there for voice and its free vzw charges 2.99 for their visual voicemail.

Airvoice, but it does not work on my desire... Anyone know of anything else?
I use Hullomail.. you can tell it to use your gmail account as storage which is handy because if I miss call when I'm at my computer I can just play the message on my PC...

I haven't seen any such app yet. The apps mentioned in this thread are different.
What is asked for is a voicemail on the phone itself, not any 3rd party who stores your voicemail for you, after which you can download it.
No, what is asked for is an actual app on the phone that actually functions as a voicemail/answering machine and stores the voicemail directly on the sd card. Without redirecting the call to a 3rd party, and without requiring an internet connection anywhere in the process from accepting the voicemail to playing the voicemail.
But there is no such app, to my knowledge.

A stand-alone app like this would be pretty sweet actually. I think the phone providers would be a little ticked if someone were to write an app like this. I would buy it as i don't subscribe to an answering service on my cell (separate monthly charge for my plan.) Most of these 3rd party (cloud) services don't work in my region.

Same here.
Waiting for some developer to answer our questions and explain if this is even possible or not :-s
Hi all
I'm looking now for 1 Year for this kind of answer machine.
the only one that do that is until now ---> Airvoice
But, the developer stoped developing this app since HTC Hero.
So it works only on HTC Hero.
Look at the Market for Airvoice,and send, like me, a email to the Developer. Maybe he will finaly start again developing this app!

Can anyone help me with this.
xperia phones have this feature integrated, so maybe with a port... tested on gf xperia m2 stock. i'm searching for something like it for months, i'll pay for this kind of app.
Hi there, I have searched, I'm sure the answer must be here, but can't find it.
Am I right in saying that the email (not Gmail) program doesn't download emails to allow you to view them when you might not have a connection to a network?
I can't find the setting for this for the life of me, is this one reason to go for a 3rd party program?
Many thanks...
Screen shot the email you want to view for later?
Not really an answer but an alternative.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Thanks, but the whole problem happens when I'm moving about my work which is a large building, I haven't opened up an email yet and when I go to I happen to be in an area where there's no network (cellular or wifi), so I haven't had the chance to screen shot it first.
Any other ideas? Surely others must have found it maddening too?
Sorry to be a pain, but is everyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds?
Many thanks

Whilst I'm at it, is there a way to stop the screen turning off when the phone is plugged in? I'm beginning to think I'm missing some settings somewhere, these are such basic things which I've had on other phones for years........

Not sure if you're correct. I suppose you're referring to the stock email program that comes with the SGS2?. This has been modified slightly by Samsung - but, either that, or the stock android email client both do download a certain amount of your emails from the server - Go into the mail program,clickon the options button,click More...select account Settings,select "Size to retrieve emails", and choose 5 kb as a start. This should cover most txt emails.
Riz
That's the problem-I have no option to change the size downloaded.
Any other UK O2 users out there?
Can any other O2 UK users confirm whether they have this setting option our how they've got around this problem?
Many thanks.
K9 mail allows you to set the download amount.
Hi all!
So I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.0 and its my first tab. I have a HTC Desire cellphone, so android isn't completely unknown for me.
Even though I do have a few questions, maybe you guys can help me with.
1)
I have seen many screenshots where people have different background for each screen. One homepage, one called music to the left and maybe one called games to the right (just examples). And it look really awsome, how do I get it to mine?
2) It says it can have different email clients synchronized, but I cant get my yahoo mail to cooperate with it - I have no idea why. When I try to add another mail than Gmail (which I dont use) then it wont accept it. I did wrote to Samsung but they have no explanation or what so ever.
I'm a new user and cant post any outside links. I found the guide at a site called androidspot - how to setting yahoo mail on samsung galaxy tab.
3) generel tips! I really love my tab and think it is a great machine and can, in some place, be a substitute for a laptop. And that is what it is. I do have the feeling I dont really use all its function or just half of them.
Hope you guys can help me
And btw, I'm from Europe therefore there maybe be som function I cant use, like Move Hub (Damn! This one would be awsome to have!).

Hi
I can only answer your first Q:
Get this App --> https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Maybe you should try to get an OTA update from Samsung to solve your mail problem.
Otherwise flash a newer ROM.
BTW: Good choice for the tablet ;-)

To get that app, should I get into the app store or should I go through your link, with my tab? I actually had no idea we were able to download direct from the internet, thought we had to go through the app store?
What is an OTA update? I recently updated the tab, so I suppose I have what we call touchwiz at the moment? I have heard the word "honeycomb", is that another OS or same thing as touchwiz?
According to this site you need to upgrade to a Yahoo! Mail Plus account.
Or try this

You can use the stock email app using these settings. I will post a video on my blog showing step by step soon.

opening this link on your tab will result in a question if you would like to open this like with the browser or the market, choose market.
OTA means Over The Air. but therefore you need to have setup an account at samsung. can be done under settings - about phone (or something - last option).

About a OTA, how do I get one? And mere important, what is it?
And yeah, hopefully it wont dissapoint me ;-) So far I'm happy for it. I have bought some games and for some reason it seems to have some problem playting them. Sometimes it suddently exit the game to the homescreen, and I have no idea why.
Hey,
I want to use whatsapp on my Galaxy player, but i'm unable to do so. I've downloaded it from the whatsapp site and from 4shared, but when I install the app and try to accept the terms and conditions, the following occurs:
"Unable to identify your device, turn out the batteries and reboot."
"Tablets are currently not supported"
But I don't get it, because my friend has a tablet and he is able to use whatsapp, even though he doesn't have a phone number or a prepaid card in it.
So my question is: Has anyone been able to use Whatsapp on their Galaxy player? And if so, could you please be kind to explain how to do that?
Thanks in advance.
I think you have to have a phone#, unless it will work with a Google Voice#. I can't see paying $2/yr for something you can just use GV for (although it does look like it does a lot more). From their site:
Why do you ask for my phone number?
We ask for your phone number because that is how WhatsApp routes chat messages between you and your contacts, similar to how the regular SMS system would. We value your privacy and we have not, do not and will not ever sell your personal information to anyone. If you would like to learn more about our Privacy Policy, please take a look at our Privacy Notice.

I have been investigating this matter and this app has the same problem as the XDA App(free version) and Tap Tap Revenge 4. I have created a hack that makes these apps work and I have released a beta of my next rom "Foreigner R5" that has the patch applied. However, this app will not function on the beta for other reasons. When foreigner R5 moves passed beta, this app will work.

So? What do you think i should do?
first, i wanna say THANK YOU to Meticulus for a fabulous rom. I am using it to my complete satisfaction. Thanks again.
second, i can prove that Viber works on beta R5 so i think half your whatsapp issue is solved, Rapydax. Until R5 comes out, u can use beta R5 with viber - message your buddies and all that + free calls worldwide.
third, google voice isnt available outside US yet.
and omg, fourth, keep an eye on R5 and trust Meticulus.
I will try the R5 as soon as it is finished.
Google is going to start charging to use their calling service next year. :'( So 2 bucks a year for whatsapp!!! I am going to get that. Also Groove IP is nice and Google Voice just got an update, and now you can call people from the Google Voice app. as well. ^^^Meticulus's Foreigner ROM^^^ is also BEAST!!! So if you are thinking about it, don't worry about it not working. Hope all goes well.

I was not very clear. Google is going to start charging next year for their calling service, as of now it is free. Whatsapp is only 2 dollars a year, so I am now going to get Whatsapp. I am sure Google will expand to Europe. Just give it time.
not giving "them" time is all this forum is about.
Does Whatsapp let you make/receive calls? I thought it was only texting.
GV has been saying it's going to start charging "next year" for a few years now... if they do I'm sure it will be very cheap, and hopefully they won't start until all the bugs are worked out, and other countries can participate.

well.. ever feel someone watching you over whatsapp last seen status and get a text from him/her saying 'hey you, why dont you replies my text.. i can see you now'.. or maybe you just meet this new girl and keep text her on whatsapp but you scared your girlfriend will notice that you are online at that time..or maybe similar situation.. you tell..
actually it is simple to make you whatsapp last seen status unchanged.. whenever you open whatsapp.. whatsapp server (i think) will detect your present and will display your last seen status whenever you friend open his/her chat conversation. so how to make your whatsapp last seen freeze ? to do so.. open whatsapp when there is no connection available on your cellphone. im using data connection. im using data toggle widget on my homescreen (data/wifi toggle, depend on what connection you are)..
1# disable data/wifi connection using toggle widget (notification toggle should do to)
2# open your whatsapp.. read, send, whatever you like to do so.
3# close whatsapp.
4# enable data/wifi connection from your widget/notification toggle.
and you're done.
pro -your whatsapp last seen status will never change until you open whatsapp with data/wifi connection are connected
con - you cant see your friends last seen status, unable to download files.
should be okay if you just open your whatsapp with connected connection few times a day and make your friends knew that you are online that day and keep the rest of the times invisible.. hahaha..
good luck to whoever try to cheat on his girlfriend.
Wouldn't it be easier to use another application specifically for your affair? Not cheating would be the best idea, but I'm just working in your framework. Don't use just Whatsapp, use Whatsapp and a second app specifically for your paramour.
use another home launcher, hide whatapp, then go to data usage, restrict whatapp data usage. When yr wife is ard u, u just use data connection. When yr wife is not ard u, use wifi to check the hiden whatapp whether there is msg anot.

You could have said that without sighting the example of cheating your girlfriend.. Could be useful when you don't want people to bug you and replying only to your girlfriend !!

lol Man you got the point
i was always looking for some kind of solution for whatsapp as some people can't understand that you may get busy with your own life and cant replay to them when ever they chat to you.
but what is the solution for others if you don't respond to them by whatsapp they call you asking why
Lmao @ the point of this topic!
Although I fail to see how you use whatsapp without a data connection?
I also (apart from sending pictures or messaging someone abroad) see the point in using whatsapp, doesn't everyone have unlimited free texts nowadays anyway?

It really works, thanks!
Also, you dont have to kill whatsapp, just hitting home after sending the message works.. then, with whatsapp running in the background, i enabled wifi/data and my message was sent, but last seen remained unchanged.

Yes. I used this trick most of the time. It does not necessarily be used to cheat on your girlfriend/boyfriend. I use it whenever i receive a whatsapp message from someone i dont want want to talk to that day so to clear the notification that i keep receiving, i turn off my wifi, open whatsapp and clicked the message.

nope. indian govt is retarded
can the whatsapp status 'last seen' be updated with 'real' connection?
Well, to make it a real life case: my girlfriend was supposed to be on the TGV at 20:37. But that was also the last time she was seen on whatsapp. She has a foreign SIM card so she doesnt roam on her smartphone (I know because i see the specifications). The TGV has free wifi in business class, but for the rest in 2nd class you have to pay to get access. Assuming that she didnt use the smartphone (which is running on Android 2.3 and i know it has some problems with whatsapp concerning wifi connection), could there have been some sort of connection that updated her status?
Thanks,
David
