This might not be the right place but I wouldn't know where else to post.
I recently got the new HTC One phone and want to use my old Whatsapp on it. I have a Dutch SIM that I used Whatsapp with while in The Netherlands, but I moved to the US and don't have access to the Dutch network anymore. I used my US SIM in the old phone, but maintained the Dutch Whatsapp.
Now I moved to the new phone and want to use my Whatsapp (with Dutch number). I backed up Whatsapp on my Captivate with Titanium Backup. I then rooted my One and installed Titanium Backup and restored Whatsapp. I start it up and get a message to verify the phone number. I don't have access to the Dutch SIM so I'm forced to verify using my US SIM and thus nullifying the entire process. I might as well have installed Whatsapp straight from the Play Store.
Does anyone have a clue on how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

If you have your Dutch SIM put inside your phone, choose your number and wait, you gonna receive one call from WhatsApp und they gonna send you SMS with activation Code, put 6 digits Code and that"s it.
After registering your Dutch number change the SIM with new one.
P.S. You need internet to do all this
Unfortunately I don't have access to my Dutch SIM. I have it with me here, but I forgot my PIN code....

Hi guys, I did have a quick search to try and find answers to these but couldn't find anything relevant.
I have an O2 XDAIIi and upgraded to the Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.03 yesterday.
The upgrade went fine and the restore seems to have put everything back except my contacts. It's not a huge problem (I can enter them again I guess) but I wondered if there was some way of getting them back more easily?
What's weird is if I look at my call list (which did restore ok) then I can see the numbers and names of people who called me recently, but if I go to add them to my contact list by clicking and holding the number, the "Save to contacts" option is greyed out. It's almost like they are there but just aren't being displayed.
Any ideas? Should I do anything differently next time in regards to how I back-up, like use something other than Active Sync?
Also I wanted the corporate install (as I heard thats more stable) but it prompted me for a validation code, where does one obtain one of these?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Anyone able to offer some advice on this? It would be a really big help.
Even if it's just how to backup contacts more reliably for next time. :?
I think that 2i has an inbuilt backup utility (at least my one has it) Settings->System->Permanent Save. There you can just choose what to backup.
Or, in Programs->XBackup, or you can just use Sprite Backup.
Ok thanks for the advice.
I'll try them next time. Seems odd that Active Sync can't do it. And weird that the contacts are kind of there (it lists names on my call register) but not listed in Contacts. :?
Hi everyone!
New to PDA phones! Im having trouble with adding contacts to my TyTN II, once added they don't show up in the contact list. It shows them in SIM manager and if i copy them to contacts from there they still dont show up! Also is there any way i can copy the contacts from my old N73 onto the TyTN II to save me hours of time???
Cheers guys!
Ok, so i have just bluetoothed all my contacts from the N73 to the TyTN II and saved them to my contact list but they still dont show up in the contacts!!! When i try to send the same contact again it asks to overwrite the contact already saved, same when i try to create a new one!! Its doing my head in!! Any ideas anyone?
sim
you need to go to your contacts in your sim and select all and then copy to contacts. that should help i think well thats what i did and all show up ok what rom are you using ie the origonal or have you flashed your rom with one like duty or alex ? as thire are a couple of cap files to fix bugs depending on which rom you use. i hope this helps as i know you have said you did that all ready.
I bluetoothed all the contacts straight to the phone, they are all there to copy to sim and when people call me it shows who is calling but when i go into the contacts list its blank. I have copied them to the sim card (they all show up in sim manager) and tried copying them back! No luck
I am running the original ROM
sim
sorry i cant help i know thire is an option to choose to use either sim for contacts or the phones contacts. but not sure where it is i think it might be in system then phone but dont take my word for it hope fully m8 some one on here who is more advanced than me might help you out. good luck
Cheers anyway buddy! I have had to put it down for now before i throw it on the floor! You cant get something good with no teething problems.

Did you do some type of back up? Using what? What Rom are you using? Under Diamond Tweak and/or advanaced Config click on hide sim contacts.
texting
hi,
i have already cleared the sim and contacts and then gone on to enter back on to contacts, it still doesnt work.
i have had my phone for a week now.
maybe tmobile will eventually update this on the next rom update if possible?
but is there not an application to sort this out that i could get hold off?

ill try the diamconfig method and see
UPDATE: IT WORKS!!
how'd you know?
thats so weird too because i have no contacts on my sim..
right on man thanks
Actually I have a similar issue.
Stock T-Mobile MDA Vario IV
All contacts saved to phone memory, in the 07 format.
Incomming calls show the callers name if in contact list, all text messages show +447 number instead of 07 number and no name.
If contact is changed to +447 then texts show contact name, but incoming calls only show number :S
Any Ideas on a resolution?
I had the same problem after I installed the official HTC ROM update that was released mid Feb. I noticed that for my contact numbers here in the US, if the number didn't have a 1 before the contact's number, it would not recognize the number in my contact list. after i went thru all my contacts (a MAJOR PAIN IN THE A$$) and added the 1 before all the numbers, all my contacts' names appear again. not sure if that helps...
there with you guys. also on tmobile stock rom.
all my contacts are in outlook. ( not sure if that is on phone or mem card.)
but texts come thru with +44 and my phone doesnt recognise them. i am currently haveing to save the new numbers but when i sync on my pc. it reverts to the old ones coz i sync pc to phone.
seems to be generically vbe a tmobile vario 4 issue.
I have the same problem and I'm on Orange but I decided to try the NEW SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 so this might be causing the same problem.
I am going to try the newer update from Orange to see if that will work.
Mines has been showing "unknown caller" along with the telephone number when I call my mobile from my home phone and the messages are just showing up with the number.
This problem has been bugging me from the last few months but I didnt realize that there may be a solution to this until I seen the amount of posts for tweaks on here.
I am nearly fed up with the phone...I just began enjoying this new ROM that I put on it coz my last Orange one was apparently an old one.
Will let you all know how it goes.

Just to let you all know that I updated with WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20764, Build 20764.1.4.3, V2.6 Full, UC Ready ROM and it seems to have worked a treat...all my numbers are showing names now and I have a much faster phone with additional positive tweaks.
It has a slider on screen on it too that you must slide to the left to answer or right to ignore...this ensures that it will not mistakenly get answered in the pocket.
Highly Recommended!
All Credit Goes to swtos and you can find the link for the lite and full versions here.
Peace.
been a while since i ran into this...
But I do believe there's a registry setting that is used to determine how many trailing numbers are used to identify contacts.. if you drop it by a number or 2 it should still work, and may solve that '1' not being there..
wish I could remember where I saw this registry setting...
Anyway, I don't really run into this issue, but I'm using ROMeOS... and all my numbers I went through and manually edited on my exchange account to always be in the (xxx) xxx-xxxx format, including formatting. Every number shows fine -- But I also have no SIM contacts (with exchange backup and spare phones with backups I don't see the need, it just seems to confuse things)
now showing all contaacts
i finally resolved this and posting back on the thread i read bb lee post.
that is what i did.
if you do advanced config there is an option use X number of trailing numbers to identify numbers i have set this to 10 this will then recognise regardless of +44 or 0.
anyone else try this and let me know if it resolves yours too.

I've been using the One for a few months, it's running the latest, unmodified OS.
Yesterday I noticed the call history is full of 'Unknown' blank numbers. To clarify - I take a call, when I finish the call enters the history as a blank entry, with name 'Unknown, and NO NUMBER showing for the call.
Looking through the list, it's happened to most incoming calls.
It never used to do this until yesterday.
I'm wondering what's changed! Why would it start to do this?
Any help appreciated!

which android version you are having ?? if it is 4.4.2 u will not face this Unknown ID issue.
only the 4.4.3 update made issues for caller ID which doesn't recognize the country code of that related country service provider. when you remove the country code it will show the correct ID but then the Viber/Whatsapp/Line will not recognize the number without the Complete phone number.
you can by pass this by going the Gmail > Settings > Phone numbers: Default country code: "put a country you will never visit"

Thanks for the responses guys - I actauly fixed this yesterday, but thinking what it was I recently installed when this started... and uninstalling it! It was the Klick app (Cheap eBay version of the 'Pressy' Button!)
Uninstalled it and now it behaves fine.
BTW The Klick button is sort of OK, you can set it to launch an app, ie the camera, but intuitively then you expect it to also operate the camera, which it doesn't. Plus setting it to operate even when the screen is locked (as you would probably want, for instant-access) of course means I was always finding I'd knocked it.
So a good idea, but not really that functional. plus caused a glitch with my phone history!
Also HTC headset fix app causes it in 4.4.3 - it adds empty number socdouble click doesn't recall on headphones!
Hello!
I Flashed few days ago stocky rom 5.0.1 and now i noticed that i can´t send any pictures using whatsapp, also whatsapp backup is imposible to do
Every time i try to do back up it fails even in phone or drive.
When i try to send pic using whatspp it fails and there is a pop up thet media not found.
I notice also that i cannot send sms messages to new number, only old sms topics are usable.
I tried to use my old rom which was cm 12.1 and everythig works.
What next??
Edit: i noticed that new sms message is impossible to send numbers with country code .. normal numbers whitout country codes works fine.
I would take a look at your APN settings, I was having a similar issue and found an updated APN to use, and that fixed it.
Are your images stored on the phone or an SD card? Maybe try the other one?
