Did you notice the whatsapp bug ?? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did you notice the whatsapp bug on nokia lumia phones ??
http://www.hackinthus.com/2013/01/windows-phone-whatsapp-bug_26.html

Yes, happens the same with me. Also, I'm unable to share screenshots via whatsapp.

Apparently it is due to WhatApp using a music streaming agent to keep the wifi connected when the screen turns off, this allows messages to come in when you have no data connection. This is what causes the bug with the music player.
It is really annoying and hopefully they should remove it now that the portico update allows users to force wifi to stay connected while the screen is off.

Yes its really annoying !! Is Microsoft or whatsapp even aware of this bug ??
I don't think so but its a real serious issuw which they should fix fast !!

It is not a bug and it has been there for months! Before even wp8 came out

Download Stop the Music app, or just play some music.
It is really annoying though, and WhatsApp has promised an update a long time ago.
Hopefully the update can bring the app partially close to what it's like on other platforms.

for the guy complaining about not able to share screenshots via whatsapp, download from the store the png2jpg converter

Whatsapp is full of bugs and flaws and i've already sent them about everything.
here's what bothers me:
- Can't send screen snapshot
- Can't send a broadcast
- When I want to forward a message, i have to search all over the contacts from the start (no recents chats)
- Can't open personal pictures.
- Can't set different ringtone for single contacts and groups.
- Can't creat a notification shortcut on lockscreen.
- Wuld be great if i can maximize the live tile so i can read the message without opening the app or just to know who's the sender.
- I can't send the videos I shoot.
- if the message is too long, the last part of it is unreadable because it's out of the bubble (black font with black background)
but everything else is good

Ha ha, , everything else is fine !!

I'm slowly starting to think WhatsApp is abandoning WP8 or so? There is no news nor updates on the ton of bugs WA for WP has, the last tweet from them from mid January stated we would see something in the upcoming weeks... Still nothing yet while the iOS and Android versions are in full swing.
WP is such a great platform, Whatsapp seems to ignore it. Shame on them :crying:

Ohh thats great but this is a serious issue dnt know why are they not taking it seriously !!!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

is not a bug. They use music api in order to be in background and do not miss notifications. This is more part of microsoft. Facebook for example do not use music api for notifications but those are way so bad, whats app in other hand works better. This will be fixed when Microsoft fix it.

Line wechat without the music API are working ok with notifications.. Whatsapp is using the music API just to keep the WiFi alive. With portico update the music API hack is not need it. Its whatsapp fault.. Don't blame Microsoft

thats probably not the right playce to ask but, is it possible to use the mobile facebook site from iPhone and Android? I mean mango has html5 support I think it should be possible ...
@cydroid
Much improved, dunno about cache
@circleofmega
Not that I can tell. Although there is a 'Mango' color there I don't recall seeing before.
@arsenalfreak
Yeah, although with the integration into the OS itself + the official Facebook app, you won't find yourself using it a whole lot. he integration is pretty awesome.
这么多的更新呢,好想试试。希望微软能快些放出正式版吧!

Facebook Notifications?

I already know this is a problem in almost all phones, but I was wondering if you guys have the same problem with your phones? From the beginning, when I first got my Nexus S, I have never received a single notification from the Facebook app until the recent updates. Even then, I'm only getting notifications from groups and lists, no likes, comments, tags, etc. What about you guys?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
I used this tutorial: www .androidnz.net/2011/11/how-to-enable-push-notifications-in.html (remove the space after www )
You will not receive notifications of "Likes".
i always thought about this too. i never get facebook notifications.. ever. but emulating a blackberry just to get this done? seems overkill
Yes, I'm not getting all my notifications.. We must wait for the real Push on Facebook !
try update fb to 1.9.1v ( today update ) ( not tested for me )
Oh yes ! I try this version now.

heyy guys.. have you tried to see the parameters of the facebook app??? because i have never had this weird problem... however, i had to stop the notifications for all the apps because i never liked that..

Get Viber 2.2 with voice calls.

Viber today updated it's app to v.2.2 with added calling feature which was missing. It might be an obvious solution but just wanted to share with those that might not remember. I used WinTT tweaker (got it from Bazaar) to set marketplace to Nokia Collection because it's available just for nokia. Restarted and than used this image with bing vision to get it

Tell us about call quality.
Hi all,
This is a member of the Viber R&D Team. I'm here to provide direct support and information
Viber's new update with the calling option was indeed released recently. We would love to hear your feedback and reports so we could improve the app and service.
If you have any questions/problems, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
the Viber Team.

Sometimes 3G reception could be low, and this is something we cannot control. Naturally this affects Viber's call quality and results in disruptions and broken sound.
We are continuously trying to improve our handling of 3G, so you can expect better performance as newer versions of Viber are released.
Meanwhile, WiFi- WiFi calls on Viber should generally be very clear and are free of such disruptions.
Call qualty was the same over 3G and wifi. Hope new versions will handle this. I would like to hear from others if they have same problems with call qualty.

There shouldn't be any special problem registering at the moment.
Please try removing Viber, wait 24 hours, reinstall and try again (make sure you try both the SMS and the automated call options).
In addition, you may try to register to Viber with a different number (for example - your home landline number, a friend's number, etc.), in order to determine whether the problem is specific with your number, or a general one.

Finding reasons for reboots

Hi,
Im just curious how to track down the reason for reboots with stock ROM and stock kernel, not rooted. I had one random reboot yesterday (when watching trailers in the IMDB app) after almost a week I own N7. I know that one reboot in a week is nothing, but its my new toy and Id like to know how to track down the reason for that in case it happens again.
I found out some threads about this and generally it says I should use LogCat - but I dont know how to use it. So I please ask for help! For now, I started Stability Test (CPU+GPU) and wait ...
Happy New Year, Y'all !!!
EDIT: Ghardashyan a bit lower mentioned hes been having reboots when watching youtube videos. Anybody else having this kind of behavior? Also, I had my reboot when watching trailers in the IMDB app - its playing via youtube, right?
The ONLY reboot I have ever seen, is when the default lockscreen widget gets updated by the marketplace. It's guaranteed to reboot on 4.2. It does it every time on both my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7.
You will only ever see it, if you remove the default android 4.2 lockscreen time widget and put something else there from the marketplace, and only when that widget gets a marketplace file update.
Perhaps you are seeing this? Do you have auto-update apps enabled???

I dont have auto-update enabled. I added another time/weather widget to the lockscreen but I dont think it got updated yesterday ... I will remove it and hope it wont reboot again. I sure think it was some app as the stability test goes for 2 hours without problem.

Its to do with location based services, HD Widgets is a major culprit and stated they were talking to Google to try and resolve the issue, it is also as stated before mainly because of the new lockscreen widgets, which HD Widgets also provide, so the stock widget could also cause the same issue?
Mine have pretty much stopped with the last update of HD Widgets, but it does still occur.

Just for your information, I dont use HD Widgets
Since you're on stock rom and kernel, I think the best way would be to reset your device and keep track of what applications are installed, one at a time.
My guess is that one of the installed apps are causing it..

I know that, but as it was one reboot only in less than a week, it could take months to track the app down ... :laugh: Im about to restart the device myself and then use alogrec to continually record stuff.
EDIT: Alogrec is not recording a thing, so I rooted my phone. In case of restart, I believe it should be enough to save last_kmsg. Am I right?

Correlation does not equal causation and it seems some are eager to go barking up the wrong tree. As has been stated here, as well as confirmed by Google, it is a bug at the OS level. It has nothing to do, per say, with HD Widgets, YouTube, or any individual app. It affects all products running 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Until Google fixes the issue, there are only two guaranteed workarounds- disable location services or downgrade to 4.1.2.

Thanks, never heard of that. How do I disable Location Services? Should I just turn off the Location access menu? Or is it a service under running services? In that case, which one?

Settings › Location. Bear in mind that the tradeoff is that, among other things, Google Now will no longer be functional.
For me, the reboots haven't been annoying enough to warrant disabling it on mine just yet.

Great, thanks. :good: I disabled that for now and will turn it on only when I need navigation. I dont use Google Now anyway.
BTW, when Google finds a solution for this, should I expect a full system upgrade?
Just experienced my first random reboot while streaming a flash video on Firefox Beta..
Random reboots are annoying me as well with my stock unrooted n7
Mostly though its during wifi/network activity not just in one app, have had reboots while in youtube, ebay, chrome etc. I have also seen it reboot while in standby
All started from 4.2
Would be interested to know if these reboots are reported back to google?

[Q] Native HTC Mail App Question!

Hi. My wife is a new HTC One owner....and is having a hard time.
She wants to use the native email app...as its good with using more then one gmail account...but it wont scale down to fit the screen. Is driving her batty. Is there a setting she is missing. I know the gmail app does that perfectly but isnt good with more then one account (or is it with the new update????)
Please someone....help
CSW
This frustrates me as well. While it does auto scale text emails it doesn't work on images. I've done quite a bit of searching and found no solutions for the stock mail app. And no, there are presently no settings you're missing. However the solution is coming; 4.2.2 has an option for this which will hopefully translate to sense 5
Best you can do for now is switch to a different app or rotate the phone.

My solution so far is a mixed bag.
Ive tried just putting my three gmail accounts in gmail and forgetting the native mail client. It solved the scale problem perfectly....but it doesnt have an All inbox..and switching from one e-mail to another was a pain in the ars.
I then went to aqua mail.....and so far thats the one im using.
Can you please (please) tell me more about how the e-mail will change in 4.2.2? That sounds interesting....have you heard when its coming (to the states and at&t)?
Thanks

Hmm good to know, thanks, maybe I'll try that client!
Here's some who find 4.2.2 has helped them with this issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/178937-converted-ios-frustrated-email.html
Now that I think more about this it could be that 4.2 specifically improves this for Gmail, while the manufacturer apps may not (like HTCs)... But I still maintain hope that the added option in 4.2 will translate into the other one too. But to answer your question specifically the change is just a toggle switch.
It seems kind of stupid that this is even an issue considering how basic it is...All because android doesn't seem to play nice with HTML in email apparently
