whatsapp missing messages, expired old Version patch required - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since 09/2017 Chats are missing. About 40-50% under the Chats Tab. Cause of that i have to restore the old Version to access all Chats. But yesterday this working Version is expired.
I tryed patching the Version number but it dont help. Whatsapp seems to have somewhere an expired Timestamp build in.
The Bug is known since 09/2017 see here: https://www.androidpit.de/forum/755...liste-weg-nur-noch-unter-dem-kontakt-zu-sehen
That means Whatsapp developers will not fix it in the future. You must always count with it that chats random dissappear.
I know setting back the Date on the whole Android works in this way i can see my old stuff. But of course this confuse all other Apps&Calender and is not a solution.
Anyone an idea how to patch the Software expired away?

Help!! Can no longer make or receive phone calls after upgrade!

I have Verizion Wireless. I just installed BootLoader 2.40, Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.30, dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2, and dcd Verizon Carrier 20080706.cab. I don't know if I was supposed to, but also did *228 option 1 to program my phone and *228 option 2 for updating roaming cababilities. The internet works fine on the phone and I can recieve text messages without any problems, but I can't make or recieve phone calls. Thanks for your help and time!!
Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it's saying you're not authenticated?
You need to call Verizon and have them authenticate you. It's normal when you go from stock to a GPS radio.
I go with gc14 on this one. Just had the same thing happen to me a while ago after just doing a hard reset...no update ROM, radio, or anything. Just hard reset and no more authentication...what a pain. lol
Oh, yeah. I listened again and that's what she said. OK, I'll call them tomorrow.
I even got my TomTom GPS software working. I didn't need to use any 3rd party software to get it working either like it said on the forums.
I even got Opera Java working, but I got some kind of message when I was installing the Java software saying that Sprint couldn't guarantee something. I don't remember the exact message, but I don't have Sprint, I have Verizon. Did I install the wrong ROM or something? Am I going to have problems now? Thanks!
How come everywhere I go now it thinks my phone is a Sprint PPC-6800, when it's really a Verizion XV-6800? I just went to Yahoo.com and it's calling my phone a Sprint PPC-6800. Is this going to cause any problems with my Verizon account? Thanks..
OK, I called Verizon this morning and they gave me a new A-Key, and I can make and receive phone calls now. I got a couple of other issues.
When I go to Messaging only Text Messages are their now and MMS Messages are missing. So, I can't figure out how to Send picture or video messages anymore. Before when I clicked on a pic it gave me the option of sending it via MMS and that option is now gone. Now, if I click on Send it takes me to, "Select an Account" but only Text Messages and Setup E-mail acount is there now. I don't know if the new version of WM6.1 handles MMS messages differently but I can't figure out how to send MMS text messages anymore. Am I missing something?
Also, I installed the v5 of the camera software and I can't figure out how to turn on the Flash. I've been messing with it, but can't figure it out.
Well, those are the only two issues so far, so hopefully somebody knows what's up and if I get them fixed I'll be really happy. Thanks everybody for all the help!!

I don't use text messages, so I can't be sure, but I think there are other links about text messages. You likely need to install a program. Try searching and let us know if you find it.
As far as the flash with v5 of camera, I think you are out of luck. My memory is there is no flash. There is a way of installing the old camera back without doing a hard reset. I just don't remember how to do it. You can try searching for this too. Again let us know if you find it. Hopefully someone else will be able to help more.
Yes, I think I found the solution, I did what it said and now it says SMS/MMS, but I haven't tested it yet. So, I'll see. I just need to know about the camera now. That's the only issue..

You really need to read through a whole ROM thread to understand all this, but there are so many little "Got ya!"s that the pay off is there. The Wiki is also a good place to start.
These three pages explain a lot of the issues:

If you read the details of DCD's stuff you find that the kitchen/rom does not contain anything network specific and you MUST apply the OEMizer tool afterwords. The link to the verizon one is right in the post. That will solve some of your issues.
Also DCD has explained that the updated camera software was ripped from a phone that does not have a flash therefore it is not supported in the software. If you want the flash, you need to downgrade.
Here is the updated link to Arcsoft. Works perfectly. The only defect I see is that incoming MMS show the phone number and the name in your contact. But when you reply as a text it comes back.

don't down grade just reflash a cooked rom with the version 4.05 something camera has a flash
Reflashing ver 4.05 when you'd installed ver 5 IS downgrading in my book

1st - The camera you used is version 5, to have the flash again you will need to re-cook a ROM with version 4.X....
2nd - For the latest MMS, use GC14's 5.0.31.25 cab of Arcsoft. The incoming MMS issue where the phone number is shown instead of your contact has been fixed. Find that cab here MMS 5.0.31.25
Yes, I've already read all of those links many times. I saw the information about the OEMizer. It said it was OPTIONAL. It doesn't really tell me what it is, or what it's for. Since this was the first time I ever installed a new bootloader, radio, rom and VZW cab, and didn't really know what I was doing, I didn't want to make it too complicated and overwelm myself. I still don't know what the OEMizer is, but I guess I can run it and see what happens. I need to make a new ROM anyways for the camera. I still have a few questions.
- What is the OEMizer for and is there someplace that explains it's settings?
- I can't find OEMizer in the Kitchen's Tool directory or any of the other Kitchen's directories. Where is it at? I did a search on the internet and couldn't find it.
- What is PagePool Changer? Is that something I need to use?
- Now I have the latest bootloader and radio installed in my phone already, can I make a new rom via the kitchen and just install it without having to worry about anything else?
- I guess I will still need to run the VZW cab file after I install a new ROM, but that should be it, right? Just those two things?
- I need a free registery editor. It looks like to upgrade to the latest Arcsoft MMS I need to edit the registery since I have an older version of Arcsoft installed right now.
- WM6.1 is grouping all my text messages together, which is great and I love it, but the only problem is sometimes I want to deleate one text message and it seems like you can't and you have to delete all the text messages from the same person. Is that true, or is there a way around it?
Thanks everybody again for all your help!!!

There is no need for any registry changes with my new version of Arcsoft. Uninstall the old one, then install the new one.
To use this, uninstall any version of Arcsoft you may have installed currently. Once it is fully uninstalled, check your registry and make sure there is nothing for Arcsoft under "HKLM\Software." Next, install this cab. Once it is done installing, check your registry under "HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader" and make sure X-VzW-MDN is set correctly with your phone number.

Yeah that was just for testing purposes originally...to make sure the previous one was completely uninstalled, then to make sure the new one installed correctly. It's been verified working though for a while.

[Q] Viber & Tango - contacts not showing (S3 LTE stock JB 4.1.1)

Hi, i'm coming from the gio section and my father has a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305N with stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1
Poblem in details:
He got problem with showing contacts on viber and tango and both doesn't show any contact except whatsapp works great. It's the second time it happens and what i did at the first time, i fixed it by clearing the data on contacts (stock application) in settings (resetting) and same both for viber and tango and then restarted the phone. I have set to "show all contacts" in contacts (stock app) but still doesn't show any in viber/tango. When trying to sync viber for contacs, it writes "Syncing not completed, please try again" and for tango, still message "we didn't find any tango users in your adress book".
btw he bought the phone with JB already installed, so we don't know if the problem was same in ics.
So my question is if someone has similar problem and knows how to fix it, if it does conflict with other apps and if it's a bug in 4.1.1
Isn't a JB bug because I've been using Tango since 4.0.4.
[SOLVED] "contacts to show"
The contacts didn't show 100%, so i had to go to "contacts to show" in menu and pressed custom at the bottom then checked every boxes view my contacts/all contacts each on of the account registered on the phone, then it showed contacts in Viber and Tango. Sorry if spam, but i tried everything and i found at last the solution at Tango's support section and my father is now happy.
Moved to proper forum
Hi,
This is an official representative of Viber Media.
@tico96 - Please check the following link for possible solutions: http://bit.ly/UvNPuq and let us know if the issue persists.
Thanks,
Viber
Hi Viber team
I have posted a review on play store too. I am very unhappy with version 4. I use viber on SGSIII and Nexus 10. Most of my viber contacts before upgrade dont show up as viber contacts anymore; especially painful to note my wife is also missing in that list. Backward compatibility issues huh? btw wife is on iOS6(iPhone 3GS).
Wife and me used to love Viber. It really sucks now. All my wife's viber history also was lost once i upgraded her viber to 4.0 as well. Multiple issues are plaguing the devices post-update.
Please lets address those.
Cheers
Ravi
@ raviraviravi -
Thank you for the report of the problem. We are sorry to hear of these issues, and we will do our best to help you resolve them.
We thoroughly tested Viber on iOS6 and so we didn't expect any major problems with the new Viber version on it.
About your contacts: The source of this issue could greatly vary. Please read this short page in our HelpDesk, outlining some possible workarounds that will help reboot synchronization of the contact list: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/...st-is-not-showing-your-friends-as-viber-users
If the problem remains, or there's any other issue: we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum".
Thanks in advance!
@Viber R& D:
You guys and your responses as always are thorough and very considerate, much appreciated.
Looks like the recent upgrade in my SGSIII has fixed most of the issues around contacts synchronization.
I have an issue with my desktop version though, the 'catch' though is I use a portable version of Viber Desktop, packaged by some Fabianator folks using VMware. Can you guys not build a nice portable install of viber yourself. The problem with this 'portable' viber desktop is that the contacts dont quite synchronize well, even if they do i am only able to see the messages but the call and message buttons are greyed out for me.
Should i put in a feature request for a portable version? Also, something on the lines of Wechat which has web version would be awesome; even going a step further if gmail can have hangouts(which are voice calls and video calls) inbuilt into the browser itself, Why cant you guys.
For me the issue is also wrt the fact that i dont have admin rights on my work PC and I cant live without Viber since i contact my wife and my close friends through viber.
In fact i go a step ahead and recommend viber to all and sundry, since it just about is now operable on any device!!! which is as good as anything gets.
Cheers
Ravi
Thank you for all this elaborate feedback Ravi!
About the portable version you're using: at the moment Viber does not officially support running the app on the specific configuration you described. In this case I would open a support ticket (and not a feature request, though it's closely related for your issue) using this direct link: we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum".
Regarding the web version - this is something we are not planning at the moment. For this, I certainly invite you to submit a feature request.
The Admin permission needed for Viber Desktop is currently the expected behavior of Viber. We have received requests from some of our users to cancel this requirement from Viber, and we're looking into this issue at the moment. If we have news, we'll certainly keep you posted.
@Viber R&D:
I wouldn't want to raise a support ticket for issues in the unsupported packaged version of Viber desktop.
However, for having a 'portable official' version of Viber Desktop. Won't it be a feature request? I want to just add onto the numbers in terms of people requesting for it. Where do i formally do it?
The lack of a web version and you having no plans to put in place doesn't bother me much; its like I said the lack of 'official portable' Viber that gives me nightmares.
Does it have anything to do with the system limitation of only 5 concurrent devices at any given point in time; since a portable version would simply mean the ability to run in a portable manner in as many machines as possible?
I am only trying to understand why development towards something elegant like that can't be expedited.
Cheers
Ravi
@raviraviravi -
Well, every project of ours demands time, manpower and resources. The reason Viber does not have an 'official portable' compatibility yet is simply because it hasn't been officially developed to handle it. It could be a problem with the way Viber communicates with our server (for example - port/protocol issues when trying to deliver Viber traffic), or other sources of the problem. When/if we develop such a version, we will check all these issues thoroughly and only then we'll be able to tell 'what is not compatible', so to speak.
Yes, then it is recommended that you open a feature request ticket. One way or another, we see those tickets and will be able to consider it in our development roadmap.
Thank you again for your time!

Whatsapp issues

Having serious issues sending whatsapp messages and receiving. Just curious if anyone else is...
Same here ?
Sent from my 920 using Board Express
WhatsApp is not yet fully compatible with WP8. An update is expected to be available soon.
Curious, what region are you? Because is not showing at all in the Windows Store here in NY.
I got it before they removed it from the store.
I use it on 7.5 and have stopped updating it when updates come out as it keeps getting worse. One of the things I wanted to see in WP8 was the ability to revert to the previous version for when developers release ****ty versions of their app and you want to use the old one.
Ya it sucks. I wish there was an alternative as good as it. Also, when I get a notification, it doesn't show the name I have set for the person in my contacts list. Its like its picking up some other name from another app or,something.
I have numerous issues, which i guess everyone seem to have. Other than no Video support (I used send and receive videos from my family on my One X ..not any more), all other issues seem to have been identified by the whatsapp guys. See link:
http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/wp/21068167
They blame Microsoft..!
I need this aplication
Its not very useful anyhow. I hope we get a working version soon.

Whatsapp (root needed?) - delete old messages delete for everyone

Hi,
I need help please and I am willing to donate $5 to the person who will find the solution to my problem. I'm sorry, in case talking about money is against this forum, but it would be just a mere donation!
I need to delete messages I sent, years ago, on whatsapp to some people and I need those messages to be deleted for everyone.
Messages are dated years 2017 - 2018, and I need them to be deleted for everyone, so that, those people cannot see anymore what I wrote.
I use android os.
If I try to delete those messages I only get the "delete for me" option, which is useless. I want the "delete for everyone" option to appear, so that those messages will be deleted on the other people's phones.
I use an old android os, 5 (i think), but in order to have a bigger screen I'm now using whatsapp on bluestacks.
Can anyone please help me?
Do i need to root android? Or in this case bluestacks ( i know how to do it) ?
I found a method on youtube but I dont understand if it works. Am I allowed to paste the link here, so I can show you guys?
Right now I'm sending messages to my second number to see if this method works, but the messages dated two days ago have not been deleted, the messages dated today have been , so I am confused.
The other problem is that whatsapp detects when i change the date and time and i travel to the past, so it is tricky.
Donation will happen via paypal probably.
Please find a way to solve my problem.
Ask me for more details if you need more information.
This is not a race and I am willing to split the donation, so please let's all cooperate with each other instead of competing.
Regards

Dummy WhatsApp

Hello if any one can help me with a dummy whatsapp doesn't matter if it's not connected to servers.
There was a app couple of years back Whatshack modifier which used to modify the chat,time and date of the chats but that doesn't work anymore it shows database error. Tried in many different phones with root but didn't work. I am looking for something similar. Tried finding fake chat creator on playstore but doesn't do my job as only chats can be created.
What exactly I am looking for is i just need to modify the time and date of the chats,reply and in broadcast list too. It's ok if it's just on my side as I am looking mainly to take screenshots of the chat according to the time and date what I set. Please I request someone to help me with this I will really be grateful.
Anyone who can do it for me please I am really in need of it.
