According to their site, and a few other sources (along with their description on the Play Store), WhatsApp should charge an annual cost of $0.99.
I know there's hacked versions out there. I know iPhone users don't get charged per year since they paid up front. What I want to know, is if you have had to pay for it as of yet.
There are ways to get out of it, like switching ROMs and installing it again or switching phones so let's not count those either, mk?
Once I read the user agreement I think and it said the first year is free and after that you had to pay. Maybe I was reading the faq, I really don't remember

Yep. First year free. It even says so on the Play Store page for Whatsapp.

Really? I uninstalled the app because I didn't want to pay the $0.99... just assumed it would stop working.

I've used it on my n95 and now on my galaxy i9001 with the same account (it's linked to the number on the sim card right?) for more than one year but I did't pay anything, it could be because I changed device. Btw $0.99 isn't a lot of money... And you can keep installed, it won't take your money without asking for it
First year FREE! ($0.99/year after)

from the market, but reading on various forum it seems that nobody on android have ever paid for whatsapp, and some received a message from whatsapp that they extended the service so.. keep it!
If you check your WhatsApp account, they actually stated the expiry date for your usage and you will need to pay to renew. But funny.things is the expiry date keep on increasing once in a while like it will never expired I had been using it for around 3 years without paying a single cents...

It must actually change based on your phone not your gmail or number as I bought my latest phone on the 20/11/2011 and my expiry of whatsapp is 20/11/2012. Just if anyone was wondering.
my expiration date was extended about 3 months after the first year, let's see what happens when this time are over too.
That's like more than 1 year man.. and I think forever extending...

I usually just uninstall it then download it again. Did u try to clear the data with an app like Rom Toolbox or Titanium Backup? That might work too.

I dont think they have a database with all the timers. I think the timers are installed in the app itself because I've been using whatsapp with the same number for a few years now and I've never had to pay. I just uninstalled it and downloaded it everytime i got the the end of the free period. I hope this works for you too.

Nothing like that, I presume...
I've been given a total extension of a year, and apart from updating directly from play store, the app has been downloaded only once...
I use my TiBu whenever I delete the app for any reasin, so my app data still remains...
And I hadn't even asked for an extension, they just gave it away on the last date...

Flashing seems to keep it going from fresh, but a lot of people are coming to me asking about their WhatsApp asking them to pay. Perhaps this extension has stopped happening? My expiration is next May, so I have no idea.
What about just switching to ChatON?

Has anyone successfully installed Order & Chaos on the Infuse? Seeing as the Infuse is such a close cousin to the Galaxy S phones and most of those phones officially support O&C, it seems like it should work fine on the Infuse but I haven't seen any threads about it.

it appears to be one of those high quality game loft games. they code games for the hardware and they may check the build.prop for compatability, so even a compatible device might not play the game if they havent added the device to there supported list. if it is in the market it may work if it is gameloft website only you may need to register the phone number and claim what carrier you have, they haven't really been supporting att devices for some reason, i didnt have much success downloading there games by anyones instruction but others claim it works. good luck, let us know your results!
i hate that they have all the checks because anyone with root and chianfire 3d can run games for other chipsets just fine. why not detect the gpu and cpu and have one universal install that has coding for several different api's? would it make the game that much bigger?

lol @ WoW
dude you werent kidding! look at the screenshots..

Yeah, it basically is WoW for your phone. I've been playing it for a couple of months on an old iPhone 3GS, an HTC Inspire and on my ASUS Transformer. If an MMORPG is your cup of tea, I can't recommend Order and Chaos enough.
Anywho, Order & Chaos is not officially supported on the Transformer but I was able to get it to work by rooting it, downloading the game cache manually, and using Titanium Backup to install an "all devices" version of the game. I haven't rooted the Infuse yet and I was hoping there would be a way to install Order & Chaos without rooting but it sounds like rooting might be the only way.

If you're up to try it, follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159975
Download the cache file referenced there and unzip it to /gameloft/games . Then PM me your email address and I'll send you the download link to the Titanium Backup backup of the game (I would post it here but I think it's considered warez). Then you unpack the TiBu backup to /TitaniumBackup , open TiBu, and restore the game from there.
Edit: I should mention that I don't know of this will actually work on the Infuse but this is how it worked on the Transformer.

It is incompatible with the Infuse. I was looking at it yesterday and the market through the browser said it was a no go. I was disappointed, honestly.

It's not officially supported, but it works just fine. I don't understand why Gameloft does this with some of their games - they make their games available only for specific devices - but Order & Chaos definitely works with the Infuse. Use the .apk that zeus408 provided (I think it was the 9th post in this thread).

Guys
Dropbox is giving 48gb free space (for 2 years) for all samsung note 3 and s4 users who register and start using dropbox on their devices
Box.com is giving 50gb free space (for 1 year) to all apple devices users who register and start using service on their iphone, ipod or ipad
This promotions might expire at anytime but they are active at this moment. Once again, must register from device and using on those devices - not on computer
If you get it on time, hit thanks button

I myself have 74GB or so, the 2 year thing is that you can upload that much all the time.. After the two years your data will stay intact and accessible, you just won't be able to upload anymore is all.
There's a service that I use called Copy that provides 15GB for life as far as I can tell. There's also an insane referral program that gets you +5GB every time you successfully refer someone. PM me if you want a referral, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it. I'd appreciate it if you did use my referral link though, I'm running low on space T-T.
Edit: I believe you also get 5GB of space if you sign up using my link.. so that's 20GB to start
Ohhh ok. Thanks for the clarification.
mail.ru is offering 100 GB and if you install the cloud app on computer or phone, you get 1 TB of storage for life. I think the 1 TB offer is till 20th January.
and they are well known in Russia
So what if you already have a dropbox account? I'm using the app without getting the promotion... Do I specifically need to register a new account? How ridiculous!
Edit:
By some strange event, I just received an email that I got the 48GB storage space (weird timing..)...
Maybe because I changed my email?
By the way, you can get this promotion only once with dropbox... So if you are like me and got it with an other samsung device before (S3 for me) and your bonus is still active in your account, it's not possible to get it another time.

That has nothing to do with email, after several referral to friends looks like dropbox is giving that space to all users (existing or new) as long they start using application from note 3 (I heard s4 is included as well). To me even 2 years is very useful so I am trying to help for others who thinks same way as me.

(A). be new to the Spotify Premium Service. If you have subscribed to either the Spotify Premium Service or Unlimited service or have taken a trial or introductory offer previously, you are ineligible for this offer;
