It is possible to install Whatsapp on a Asus tablet.
But you must have Whatsapp already working on your Android phone.
Just make a backup All apps and data with Titanium backup from Whatsapp on your phone.
Go into the TitaniumBackup folder at your phone and copy the three files starting with com.whatsapp to your Asus tablet. U have to put these files in a folder named TitaniumBackup.
Then download Titanium Backup on your tablet.
In settings, applications, Development enable USB debugging and allow mock locactions. At applications enable Unknown sources.
Go to Titanium Backup and scroll to the com.whatsapp file.
Restore app and data.
Now you should have working Whatsapp !
Hey it works! Great and so simple
Only although I have all contacts on my TF, only the phone numbers appear at my whatsapp chats. Any fix for this?

do i just put the 3 files straight into the titanium back up folder since i had it installed before or do i need to make a new folder and search for it with titanium back up?
the .comwhatsapp files are not showing up in titanium backup after i put then in titanium back up.
It works!
Yeah, just put those three files in titaniumbackup folder and restore with the app (app + data ofc.)
The contact problem can be solved in app by pressing a contact with only a number and clicking "add to existing contact" and selecting the right one from your contacts.
Hope this helped!

Great, I'll try it tonight.
Another question, I resumed an existing chat with a friend and all replies returned in whatsapp on the TF but not on my phone.
Next I asked my GF to send me a message in an existing chat, and the messages came on my phone and not the TF.
So, can I conclude only replies to a message initiated from the TF get returned to the TF but when someone apps me it always appears on the phone?
*edit* well, I just noticed that when I was away today I received some apps on my TF which did not arrive on my phone so as long as I cannot synchronize this it nis not very handy...
Just to add to this and hopefully make sharing with your phone easier.
1) Install Droidwall from the market on phone and tab (assuming you've got whatsapp working as above).
2) Change to blacklist mode on Droidwall and select both settings for whatsapp (3G and WIFI).
3) Save rules
4) Then just turn on the firewall on the device that you don't want to receive messages.
You can switch in seconds between the two. I've been using this for a couple of weeks with no problems. You obviously need to be rooted but Titanium requires that anyway.
Hope that helps.

Hey there,
is there an option to use whatsapp like gtalk?
what i mean:
i use an samsung galaxy i9000 and an asus transfomer tf101. so when i text a message on my phone, i see it on the tablet und also when i write on tablet i see it on the phone. i mean it synchronized itself
can whatsapp do it similar?

Not at present unless whatsapp change something fundamental. Failing that you'd have to keep swapping files with titanium but that would be a real mess.
hm. ok. i thought this already :-(
another question:
if i install it on both, i can write from both on same time?
example:
i receive an message on my phone, but i answer from the tablet.
sure, i can't see the messages from tablet on the phone, but my fried receive the messages?
or rather: receive both devices the message, or do only one?
background:
it' s only interessant when i'm @home, because tablet has only wifi, so i text @home with tablet and "on the road" with the phone...
u now what i mean?!
( sry for the bad english, i'm from germany )

You can send from both devices simultaneously but, unless you firewall (with Droidwall or similar) the device you're not using, the replies could go to either phone or tab. They won't go to both. Droidwall is very easy to set up and as you have to be rooted to use Titanium it's no hassle.
Your English is fine, had no trouble understanding you
hm, ok.
i think i'll test it and then we see if this is practicable for me
thank u for helping.
and btw: ok, i tought my english is bad, but obvious it's better then i mean

Let's say that I have a Google Nexus S and I accumulate a bunch of SMS messages. Over time, I switch to another Android phone like the Motorola Atrix. If I do that, are there any programs that will seamlessly move the SMS messages including the threads over to the new Android phone?

Have you tried this before? Does it really work as intended? Will the SMS time stamps and everything migrate over like as if the SMS messages was sent to the new phone?

Yeah it should. Backup to sd (or internal storage for ns) and just transfer it to the root folder. not that hard
it's extremely easy indeed, sooooo many free apps to do so
Holy thread resurrection.. For the record: Titanium backup - save to XML works pretty good
Fastest method: Nandroid backup -> Copy the whole backup to other phone -> Nandroid Manager -> Restore SMS
yes

you can backup them by using any sms backup app(etc GO SMS PRO ).
and copy the file exported to new phone. and restore。
that's all.
I'm pretty sure that it is not available yet, but anyone with any news concerning this? I use whatsapp quite alot to keep in touch with my friends and family, and having the availability to use it on the TF would just make things alot better.
I previously use it on a SD version of android on my HD2, but it crashes often and the backup is a pain, needing to switch back to windows and transfer to prevent data corruption and have faster transfer speeds.
Thanks.
Just received an email from the developer 2 days ago...tablets are not supported for the time being...
Thats just sad. Hopefully they'll develop it soon. Thanks so much.
what I did, I had made a backup from whatsapp with titanium from my HTC desire. installed titanium on the Eeepad, copied the backup to the TF, put the program and data back, and voila! A working Whatsapp. The message you send from the TF, will offcourse not be vissable on your other device, answers sometimes comes double (if both devices are online). I recommend to only use one device at the time
I tried a similar way but once I installed then opened the app it said device not sported

You did the titanium backup way? It wouldn't work?
Drnizeguy, if its a sure work thingy then I might just root my TF. More confirmations anyone?

I got the TB restore way to work, but I can't get any of my contacts to show up. I have the same contact list on my TF as I do on my phone, so it should still see their phone numbers (or whatever it uses to match up contacts to Whatsapp users) in their contact info on my TF, but it doesn't.
It is true that you don't see the contact list in whatsapp.
Because I restored the program data, I only see the contact in the "chats" screen, I have talked before, from the moment th backup was made. So I can not send a message to anyone I havn't send a message before.
I also don't see the contact names, I only see the telephone number.
So I don't know what will happen if anyone sending you a message who is who hasn't send a message before (someone who is not in the chats list already).
Hello all,
I am looking for a way to back up a bunch of text messages (either in 1 string with 1 recipient) or a bunch of texts to different people, to my PC (windows 7).
Whats the best/simplest software to do this? (I already have Android Manager WiFi, but it doesn't seem to do texts/SMS's.
Thanks!

go sms backs them up for you in settings and gives you the choice to save only to disk or to email them as well.
Sorry, forgot to mention: I don't want to back them ALL up, just copy certain ones I choose onto my PC.

heh, i was close. i just forgot it could do that too
Alright i have 2 other threads made but not all my questions were answered and i have a couple more
1) I wanna know how to backup my stuff so its not all lost just in case... Like a good app that at LEAST gets my contacts, sms and perhaps some app data? Only because i have ultimate password manager and it is a pain putting them all in
2) Im having trouble getting the drivers for my phone on my computer... i know i can press install driver in kies to get them but my computer keeps failing at that... what mode does it ahve to be in? Samsung ezupdater, media or mass storage?
3)can i just get a download link so i can install kies mini because i guess that is what i need... Correct me if im wrong
4) the main thing i want from rooting is the under/over clocking thing and i wanna get rid of the sms messages from my call log... Does the infused gingerbread kernel from the thread in the link below help me get that or do i ahve to find a rom first?if so what is a good rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248
5)Any help is much appreciated... thanks a bunch
Download the drivers from Samsungs web site.
Contacts - open contacts, tap menu, tap export. If you have an external micro card save them to that.
Once rooted, use Titanium Backup to back up your apps & app data.
Not sure how to save sms messages.
Overclocking can make your phone unstable.
I like Infused 2.1.0. Very stable and gets rid of the sms in the log.

Try SMS Backup and Restore for free in the market. Works like a champ
Contacts - I strongly recommend syncing contacts to a Google account. If you do that, backup/restore of contacts is seamless and automated.
Apps/app settings - Titanium backup. Don't use it for system apps/settings. Note that you still need to manually copy the TiBu backups from the SD card though.
SMS and Call Logs - There are two apps, SMS Backup and Restore and Call Logs Backup and Restore. Just like TiBu, you'll need to manually copy the backups off of your SD card periodically.

As far as drivers go just download samsung kies on your pc and install it. Then you can uninstall it if you want.
Infused should have some instructions to flash in the op. Just make aure you read through them a couple times before going ahead with it.
And honestly syncing contacts with google never worked for me lol. So i couldnt help you with that one

It doesn't work when i try and install the drivers... It keeps failing... hope my phone isn't screwed. Is the infused gonna work on my canadian infuse 4g on rogers? and ill try the contacts another way... maybe an external sd card... thanks
I would recommend going to the market and searching for "contacts to SIM", it will backup all your contacts to your SIM Card so you can just pop it in if you get a new phone.
Also, Titanium Backup is great for applications (and their data).
For the drivers I'm not sure, I would say uninstall Kies and plug your phone into mass-storage mode, if you're on Windows it should download and install the drivers automatically...
Alright contacts to sim worked perfectly... Titanium says I need to have root access so maybe I will need to copy those pws... And for the driver situation... I'm on windows 7,and when I plug in my phone on mass storage, it comes up with the windows that has like browse files and that stuff, kind like when you put in a dvd, it has play and in all the programs you can play it with... Does this mean I'm all set?

The SIM is very limited in terms of what contact info it can store for each contact. I'd strongly recommend syncing to Google, as it should backup nearly everything.
If you want a "non-cloud" backup, GMail supports exporting contacts in multiple file formats.

I wanted to do that but it doesn't seem to work... the check mark is there to sync them in my gmail app, but it doesn't actually show up on my gmail. i just bought an external sd card so i guess that'll do...now one more thing... If i want to root my device and have infused 2.1.0, do i still need to do the root that i had linked to below?http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1197248
Like what i am thinking has to be done, correct me if im wrong, i would root the device with taht, then that allows me to use the rom, im thinking in the rom downloader?
Hi. I just arrived to HD2 world, and I can't find any info about some way to backup WhatsApp. I say WhatsApp not because of its data (conversations), but for the activation SMS, that means every time I reflash I have to reactivate paying for a SMS
In Android I had Titanium Backup so I just restored. I hope there is some way here in WP7, or a Registry key to save the code and restore or something.
Thank you very much, waiting for some light here.

I was thinking more of a specific thing, not all in a pack, but I don't really care. Thank you very much! I'll try. Hope it works.
LOL I just installed WhatsApp after reflashing, updating, reset and reactivation, and it didn't make the SMS step. Just from input cell number to chats.
Sorry. I guess I was way too farsighted!
Sorry to bump this thread, but where does whatsApp actually store the messages? It doesnt seem to use Isolated storage so there is no way there is just a data file that we can download..
anyone else have any idea's?
trying WMDC/ActiveSync launcher as I post this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23064872#post23064872
EDIT:
WMDC/ActiveSync launcher allows me to go to the app directory
Microsoft Windows Phone\\\Applications\Data\218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79\Data\IsolatedStore
where 218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79 is the application ID (might not be the same for everyone but I assue it is just to make this easy
There is a file in Isolated Storage called messages.sdf. In my case its about 640k in size but I guess that varies with the amount of messages stored on the phone.
I havent tried my device and copying the files back, but at least I can store them on my PC
Opening the file with Notepad shows messages and they are unprotected/not encryped. There is a lot of wierd caracters inbetween the messages, but it also shows whatsapp IDs from the recipients.
As soon as I reflash my rom (if new HD2 rom comes out soon) I will see if I can restore the messages.
So if you have acces to the Isolated storage dirs, you are able to copy the messages to your PC.
Note that WMDC/ActiveSync launcher requires a fully unlocked device.
