Nexus 5 & whatsapp issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I recently got my Nexus 5 and tried to activate whatsapp in the device.
I'm able to install the app, but when I type my number and click "OK", I'm getting an error message saying that
"Unable to connect. Please check that you are connected to the internet and try again. Please reboot your phone if your connection problem persists"
I tried rebooting the device multiple times, uninstalled and installed the app and also tried installing the app from the whatapp site, but the issue still exists.
I tried sending the SMS to my own number thru Hangouts and i'm able to receive it successfully.
Please let me know if there is anything that I'm missing here. or let me know any other troubleshooting steps.
Thanks in Advance!

No worry mate..
do this.
Uninstall the whatsapp and install it from play store, DONT OPEN the app.
tether your friends data(internet)and then open the app and do the settings.
This happens due to bad signal or poor internet connection. I faced the same issue.
Press thanks if I helped you.

If he'd be on ART the app wouldn't even open and it would FC. So I suppose he is on dalvik.

I have tried ART & Dalvik as well,
In ART, I'm not even able to open the already installed whatsapp and update from Play as well is getting failed.
In Dalvik, I'm getting this problem.
Also, My data connection seems stable as I'm able to browse and update apps from Play store.
Lemme know if I'm missing any thing here.

Whatsapp isn't broken anymore on ART. You have to uinstall it first and install it fresh from the store.

Yeah man I had that yesterday... Even the older versions of whatsapp (50) didn't install after I had read that they worked. I had to hard reset cause when I switched back to dalvik the install was still giving me problems.

This problem only occurs for whatsapp ? that's strange..

yep strange, have over 80 apps installed and whatsapp is the only one witg art issue
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

It's because you turn on the developer option
The format is solution for your problem
اللهم صلِ على محمد و آل محمد

anyone want to use art and whatsapp, try purity rom. whatsapp works with art enabled, even all my apps that previously didn't work now working great. (md.emu, snes9x)

authentication done, but...
Now the whatsapp login issue is fixed on my Nexus 5,
I used my friends 3G as hotspot and was able to perform authentication.
But still(on 2G), I'm not able to send or receive any chats.
Any feasible solution for this?

It must be your carrier blocking it? Because it works fine on 2g here, I just checked.

Can u tell me how to send mp3 files or songs on watsapp through nexus5

not able to update apps from play store

Hi all,
I've recently started to face problems while trying to update apps from play store. when I hit the update button the downloading bar comes up on the notifications bar and then nothing happens.. it stays like that forever.. I then have to "clear data" from download manager to remove it.
I've tried clearing the cache & data from download manager and play store but it didn't work.. removed my Google account from my phone then cleared cache and data then did a reboot and registered the account again and even that didn't work.. I also tried a lot of silly stuff... so after many failed attempts I've come looking for help from u guys..
if anybody has a solution to this then please share the same.. this one's getting into my nerve.. :banghead:
btw, I'm able to install new apps, just not able to update the existing ones..
please help..

Youtube Problem

Hello! I am on pure Kitkat 4.4.2 with franco.kernel r34 and have installed some mods via Xposed Installer. Problem is that my Youtube app doesnt work. Everytime I try to start Youtube app, it gives me an error "Unfortunately, Youtube has stopped". This is exactly the same problem I am facing in my Nexus 10 with the same ver of Kitkat and Franco Kernel and mods. I have tried uninstalling Youtube via Titanium Backup and reinstalling a fresh copy from Play but the problem is still there.
Now is this a problem with the Kernel or have I messed up something else. Please help.
It's not you, it's them. The YouTube app has been wonking out for a few weeks.
You have the YouTube ad blocker module and it needs updating

not completely sure but do a factory reset,
and before doing so make a backup of your important data like contact etc.
Thanks fot your reply, but i'd tell u that i've just installed CM11 so i did factory reset and cache format and dalvik. After i installed the ROM and installed "whatsapp" for example i got this bug while using the camera to send photos, after taking the photo the screen goes off and freezes. Even in some other apps like "google camera" i got the same issue when i want to exit the app.
I think this ROM is not completely compatible with some apps and needs fixes.
I hope there is some fixing methods that can help me. Otherwise i will regret of installing a custom ROM.
thanks in advance.

Bloatware

Hi guys,
Quick question... I got this phone three days ago... I rooted it mostly to delete some of the bloatware... The thing is, I tried to delete the apps on the system folders, but it won't allow it... It returns an error message saying it is not possible to delete the files...
Anyone knows why this is happening and if there's a workaround?
Thanks!!!

why uninstall system applications,it is not recommended either one developers that is risky.
try this application work good.Make sure the app you are going to uninstall is not a system app.
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.systemappremover&hl=en
install and Open Root app delete on your android phone and,Tap on System apps and tap on Pro when prompted to choose from Junior or Pro mode.
Scroll through the list of system apps and tap on any of the apps which you want to be removed from your phone.
Next tap on Uninstall to remove the unwanted app and again tap on OK to confirm your selection.
In case the app cannot be remove properly, you will see the following error. Tap on OK and then tap on #1 to force uninstall the app.
Now the unwanted app / bloatware will be removed from your android phone.

What version are you running? How did you get root?
Hi guys...
First of all, the "What???" wasn't meant for this post, for some strange reason when I replied on another forum post it did here... I'm really sorry about that...
Anyway... The phone was bugging and the root wasn't working right, that's why I wasn't able to delete the apps... I wasn't trying to delete system apps, but things like Google+ which I don't use at all...
Anyway, I'm on a D2306 from Brazil... I flashed the 4.4.2 global to get rid of the carrier apps, but I probably did something wrong while flashing and rooting it, so it was't working... I reflashed it yesterday and did the root again and it worked flawlessly...
I deleted the integrated apps I don't use and the phone is perfect now...
Thanks for all the help...
That's first thing I also do after rooting. There is so much delivered with the phone, and not few of it completely useless to me.
I think the advice not deleting system apps, hmmm .... what is a system app? Sony Home? SystemUI ? Or Google+, Gmail, Maps, Sony Select, ... all in system and unremovable without root. I understand that we need to be protected from doing harm to the phone we bought. But still I think the phone should come with a kind of admin function or semi-root to remove what is not needed. As it is it has more the smell of forcing people to using certain things.
For other apps I have different needs than what is supplied. I am lucky I can change things. As examples, for email I can use a normal email program such as K9, for sms I can use an sms messenger that actually does give repeat notifications, such as Evolve, QuicPic to me is the superior Album at 1/10 of the size, for navigation and maps I use Mapfactor bcs it has real offline navigation, and so on and on.

Whats wrong with the sharing apps ?

Hi, one day, i was editing an image with messenger, and the sharing got stucked on ''messenger'' so afer i open a photo and want to send it to someone , just messengers opens. No menu with all the apps where i want to send it (like bluetooth or whatsap , mail ecc)
So i uninstalled messenger and reisntalled it again. It did the trick. So the manu after sharing appeared again.
BUT NOW, yesterday i wanted to share some images with my pc. after i finished sending the photos, the phone got stockued on ''blutetooth'' , i mean, whenever i want to send somethine , just bluetooth opens. Doesn't give me anymore the option ''where to send'' .
I tried to freeze the bluetooth with titanium backup. And themenu appeared again, but when i active the blueooth app from titanium, the menu of sharing disappear again and just bluetooth works.
Edit : can anybody please give me the "Bluetooth share apk" as mine was blocking my sharing options and I freezed It, but now it won't restore. So I can install it again!
Thank you in advance :/

My pictures used to send to messenger and I uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixed the problem but now they share to google keep. Different apps share to whichever app of their choosing. It has a mind of its own so if anyone finds a permanent solution please tell me about it. Also my tl-10 model won't download from play store or get 4GLTE
Can anybody please give me the default bluetooth apk. I have the Chinese version of the MT7 TL 10 (3x32gb) please, is so anoing, I can't send and share things directly. I have freezed the bluetooth apk before b3cause I had a problem with it and now it won't restore.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can have some time to help me!
