ddoes anyone know if there was/is/will ever be a whatsapp program for WP7? i used to use this a lot when i had android on my WP7 and i do miss it. the website mentions that it is cross-platform, but doesnt mention anything about wp7 (or windows mobile for that matter) i have read a few articles about adress book integration being the issue, but may other things such as whatsapp not having any wp7 developers, and a beta versions with no contact integration, but i dont trust any of the sources
so i am wondering if the good people at XDA can clear things up
According to the developers of WhatsApp there are no plans to support WP7 until various aspects of the OS are changed/updated. It's to do with the way apps are run on the OS.
Because WP7 apps are run in a 'sandbox' style environment WhatsApp cannot access the WP7 built in contacts app etc so the developers are waiting for that level of functionality before creating the app.

that was what i had read elsewhere. there were some suggestions about pulling the contacts direct from windows live via a http request, but not being a developer i dont know how this would work. i guess i will just have to wait and see
The Mango update should sort that all out, so i guess we all just have to wait.
Yeah we waiting Mango and Whatapp both
after that its boost wp7 market share
I just saw on the Whatsapp homepage that they are looking for a C+ progammer/debugger. So that could mean they will soon work on a version for Windows Phone!
Here is to hoping
The missing piece for me on the Window mobile platform is only Whatsapp. Once this is sorted, and I hope that Mango does what it needs to for the developers at WhatsApp, I'll then ditch iOS and Android.
Does anyone have "connections" to any of the developers at WhatsApp? I wish they would communicate their intent.
Yes, Whatsapp should provide some updates on whether a WP7 app is being made.
Also Microsoft should pull their socks up with WP7. It's been utterly disappointing. I've thrown more money to Apple to use the iPhone because of Microsoft's poor execution of the WP platform.
i am also waiting for Whatsapp for wp7 i have seen new cross platform app Pingme its nice its support for wp7 is coming soon
u can check the site www.pingme.net
WhatsApp is definitely coming and sooner than you think!

Whatsapp In Market Place
check this link http://wmpoweruser.com/whatsapp-now-in-marketplace/
i try but its not done yet but its matter of 1-2 days
Whatsapp is hera man
Whatsapp for all
unfortunately The reason many of you wont be able to see this is in marketplace is because your Windows Live ID hasn't been added by the author to the permissions page.
But good news is that it's coming sooon
I am attaching a file if any one interested. Happy Xapping.
works perfect on it i found it in the windows 7 phone section
Works perfect, i installed the .xap! Great to have it, more reasons to stay on WP7!
its working Fine on My HD2 Mango
Works great however it has some issues with push notificiations.
When I get a new message, instead of a contact name showing with the message, I get "Phoenix". Ah well its a BETA, after all
Installed and quite satisfied ... maybe this beta it's at an early status of development, missing many functionalities already present in the other available platforms, but I think that beta 1.0 is surely better of ... nothing, isn't?
BTW, has someone tried to add a sound effect when receiving a message?
Is it possible to change in any way the status message?
whatsapp is out but only for wp7.5 devices and the wp7 devices that will be upgraded to wp7.5.

Well
I think Chrome even if it´s not a beta anymore, it´s a very young browser, fast in fact but very limitated in other functions, maybe in a couple of years is going to be a great option, but by now I´ll stick to the majestic Opera!
nice browser ... shame its not on mac yet
Oh well,. yeah,. thanks for the info guys!!,. i am downloading now,. hehe,. last time i download before i format my PC, it say Google Chrome BETA,.
Some issues I run into (I've used it since day one of it's release to the public):
Flash videos work off and on. This seems to be consistent, I will go to play a youtube video and will need to restart the browser because the audio or video will not play.
Spellcheck sucks.
Very few add on's. Add on's are what make firefox so great.
Some pages just do not interact well with Chrome. If you go to a lot of message boards you know what I mean.
Highlighting anything is a PIA. Many times you will will try to highlight one individual word and end up with long blank fields. When you copy and paste it then just comes up blank with the whole field minus the word...WTF??
Other then those few things it's a great browser and I use it full time for work and play.
Ive got a portable version if anyone is interested and doesnt want to actually install it.
Send me a pm if you fancy it
I.M.O not enough to it yet, security wise i can beef up Firefox, don't like Google policies & i need a browser that works efectively on UMPC so Firefox 3 it is...
One of co workers installed chrome on my computer at work so I gave it a try. I started using it more and more since it starts up in half the time IE, or Firefox does. Since then I've been using it ever since. I don't need the fancy plug-ins from firefox and IE just plain sucks. Easy choice IMO.
Also its no longer in beta.
I would recommend switching to "SRWare Iron" as it is Chrome without all the Spyware Crap that Google put into the Browser (Unique ID, constantly running updater and stuff like that).
It is based on Chromium, which is the base for Google Chrome.
It even looks and handles the same as Chrome & Chromium...
I used Chrome since the beta because I preferred the look of it.
Thanks to this thread - I'm now using SRWare Iron which I'll keep an eye on too..
Cheers.

Oh, thankyou, so now i am not wrong if google chrome ever have a beta version,. lol
After I using Iron for a week I switched back to chrome. Spellcheck doesn't work, and its slower to load pages. The privacy issue isn't a problem because there are programs which remove your unique ID and you can simply disable sending google your browsing information in the options menu. The only thing that Iron has going for it over Chrome is a better looking icon.
Chrome Rocks!
I to have been using google chrome since the earlly beta.
to clear things up, There are two version available. Stable releases and a "developer" version (which is like a beta version.)
Personally i love the broswer for its speed but like already mentioned, it doesn't like all websites. I can't stand IE so i keep firefox around incase i have problems. Things are getting beter all the time for chrome though (for example it used to be almost useless for facebook and now its basically fully compatible) I'm proud to say its my default browser
This became a POLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See the top if you know any other tell me! to include it!
Ok, voted already,.
What da...????
Who includes the Internet explorer 8 beta that dont includes the link to the download?
Come on guys... share it share it share it....!
Does anyone know of an app where my g1 can track another g1 via gps? Basically, if Latitude would actually update for me, that would work. Im still playing with it to get it to work but it seems to have problems updating regularly.
Anyhow, I'm just wondering if there was an alternative to Latitude so my wife and I can see where each other is. No I don't suspect cheating, I just hate having to answer calls on my way home from work to hear "Where are you so I know when to start dinner?" If I share my location, she knows right where I am and I can continue streaming pandora in the car.
Anyone wanna try to tackle this if there is no good alternative? I need to find a "Android Development for Dummies" book.
You could try Glympse. It's concept is a bit different though: It allows to send a text-message or e-mail with a link that one can use to track you. You would have to do that every time you start your way home though. It also is more real-time than Latitude, therefore draining the battery more quickly. Either way I recommend you to give it a try.

Glympse is very cool, especially the browser app that goes with it.
It was exclusive to android i think with iphone coming later, so its a quality app, no question.
According to the website of GLYMPSE , the app is available for Windows mobile phones too.
It says you can download it on the marketplace for windows mobile
I am looking half an hour now for that program, but cant find it..
Can somebody / anybody please sent me a link ???
Your help will be appreciated !! thanks

( looks like I am the only one who can help ME )
Version 0.9.0 beta (2010/12/19)
http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_phone_7/wifi_remote_access_7/
This version of WIFI Remote Access 7 will expire on 2010/12/24.
WIFI Remote Access 7 is the Windows Phone 7 version of WIFI Remote Access, a HTTP/FTP server designed for Windows Mobile 6.X that allowed users to take complete control of their device using their web browser, through a WIFI connection.
Unfortunately, since applications on WP7 are sandboxed, you won't find features such as Remote Control or Text Messaging in the WP7 version
Also, because of the sandboxing model enforced in WP7, WIFI Remote Access has no access to private data such as your pictures, musics, and other apps data.
However, it is possible to copy your personal pictures manually to the application Storage so that you can access them using this app.
To do so, click on the "Copy a picture to Storage" button on the application main screen, and it will be copied to the Picture folder.
(you can only select 1 picture at a time because of a WP7 API limitation, so you will have to repeat the operation for every picture you want to get access to! sorry).

I am aware that this WP7 version is much less useful than the old WM6.X version. I will try my best to add other features, but don't expect Remote Control or Text Messaging to come back in the WP7 version.
Also, you may not be able to use this app in the future if Microsoft publishes an update for WP7 that breaks Chevron WP7 sideloading utility.
You also won't find this app in the Marketplace (because it uses native code, which is not allowed to developers like me).
Installation:
To install this application, your device must be "Developer unlocked", or unlocked with Chevron WP7 (search on the well known "XDA Developers" forum to get this tool).
You must use the Windows Phone 7 SDK Application Deployment tool to install the .XAP file to your device.
Known issues:
-You can't change the password in this beta version
(just click on Connect without typing a password when the login page is displayed)
-FTP server doesn't work yet in this beta version.
-Folders can't be renamed.
-Pictures are slow to load because they are not "thumbnailed" yet.
-The user interface is ugly ^^
Could you possibly make a similar program but able to access over USB? I only have a wired connection at work so I can't use WiFi Remote Access.
I'm still trying to find a USB Mass Storage solution that doesn't need Zune installed on the PC. I'm not allowed to have Zune on my PC so I'm not able to utilize the registry hack that I can at home.
This app looks very interesting is there a new beta online, cause the current beta has already expired.
Thanks a lot, exactly what I was looking for.
sweet , thanks for sharing it
UPDATE : it has expired
the version on julian site has expierd
Zune is a wonderful application for finding and installing Windows Phone 7 applications on your phone. The other alternative is to use Market Place application in WP7 handset. If have an HTC HD2 which doesn't support WP7 officially, but thanks to XDA Developers and DarkForcesTeam, I am running WP7 on this handset with no issues.
Initially, when I upgraded, I couldn't connect to Windows Market Place and browse or install applications because of Windows Live Services Registration (which I later resolved). So, I wrote an app to resolve my problem.
What this application does is, that it allows to browse for free apps on the marketplace, and download them to your hard disk which you can later use to deploy to your handset manually (developer unlocked phone or ChebronWP7 unlocked phone). The interface is pretty simple and serves the purpose. The only pending thing is automatically deploying the downloaded application to the device, which I will leave for a later date (anyone to help me out with this).

Oooh noooo!! Same here...so sad, happily downloaded lot of promising apps...none of them can be installed.
EDIT: The first app listed in the first post is claiming that the device has to be unlocked. The second app listed in the post above is claiming that the app hasn´t a valid license.
Any ideas?
marketplace
It seems that PPCBOY has something done right on his 7008 rom wp7 my hd2 has the full use of marketplace and zune so you might want to check it out your activation key will still work
SciLor's GrooveMobile Alpha 1 (2011-05-29)
I am currently working on a version of my GrooveMobile for WP7.1, supporting background listening.
Due to I have no phone for testing, is there anyone who likes to test the current state of the application? You will need an "open" phone, because this app may only find its way to the market if it is nearly bugfree.

Just downloaded it; will install and try out later. What info would you like?
Just interested in, how stable it is, especially how fluid the stream is.
It will cache all songs you have played in the Apps Internal Storage.

Same problem here, on my Trophy...
On the emulator it runs completely fine though.
Edit: Is it possible the crash occuring because our phones have OS version 7.0 and not 7.1 ?
I know the problem its for 7.1
Hi Scilor, nice to see you developing for WP7
I am have a HD2 running NoDo and it fails to load also
Its for wp7.1 maybe thats the problem.

i guess its programmed with sdk 7.1 which are the mango beta tools
so actually its for wp7.5
keep up the good work.
but keep in mind, i think musicshark got deleted of marketplace because it didnt had a licence to access the grooveshark libary
the xap was available for quite some time but now it not workin anymore
One thing I noticed when playing around with this in the mango emulator: if you start a song and go back to home (so background music is playing), selecting the program again opens a new instance and the old instance keeps playing the music
Now that Mango's out for devs, we'll be able to test your app
Will try to install it as soon as get Mango
It doesn't seems to work with the last WP7.1 tools.
Doesn't work on my Omnia with Mango. When I tap a song it crasheds
And on the emulator of the beta 2 SDK, keeps loading then crashes :/
I think its due to I have built it with the Beta 1 SDK. I will rebuild it with the Beta 2 SDK soon.

I also suggest to include a Exception Popup, which displays the Exception (and maybe an additional button to send the exception to you via email). I could send you a sample how it's achieved if you want.
greets toolsche
Can't wait for further development as I used your old app. Seems to crash upon trying to play a song. Sign in and such will be nice! Thanks a lot!
Similar experience on my mango phone, crashes when selecting a song. Looking forward to this app!
I asked access to the API on their website. But they said no because they are working on a WP7 app. Can I use their API by other way ?
