How to make Viber and Whatsapp work on an UNROOTED wifi-only tablet

Well I wanted to help all who's out there with their new wifi only tablet and wanted to make viber or whatsapp to work on them
so to start I have already seen threads here on xda that already do that but they need a ROOTED device (well I didn't want to root my new tablet just yet) so I found a workaround that helped me access viber and whatsapp without rooting
The things you need :
1- Viber.apk
2- Whatsapp.apk Sorry I can't post links who wants them pm me
3- A landline (or a mobile phone number you DON'T use or need)
After you mark that you can install from unknown sources (Settings/Security/Unknown Sources)
Install both apks in any order you please
Now when you install them they will tell you that they need a phone number to give you a special code to activate your service
Enter your landline number ( it will load for some time then they will ask you to call that number )
If you enter the unneeded mobile number ( you CAN'T use viber or whatsapp on that number as you use it on your tablet ) make sure that the sim card is in a device. They will send the special code in an sms to that mobile number.
If you used the landline method they will call you and tell you the code. ( Write the code on a piece of paper )
Now enter that code on your tablet.
It will be activated on your tablet.
NOTE: You can't add contacts on your tablet. So on viber you can use the keypad and call whoever you know (that has viber) and msg him/her on that number but you can't see his/her name ( May cause problems if you have more than one girlfriend ) .Same stuff on whatsapp but the problem is that whatsapp doesn't have a keypad so eventually you would have to tell anyone who has whatsapp that you know to send you a message so that you can message them . ( Tell them to put their pictures )
I would try to find a way to add contacts to your tablet as soon as possible
By the way this is my first thread on xda so help me out and press the THANKS button
Also I'm going to work on a ROM for the T-Mobile Comet ( aka. Huawei Ideos u8150 ) I'm going to try to get Jelly Bean for the little fellow so anyone that can help me out is welcome

Install GO Contacts and you are ready to go

And it's not necessary to use the size 5 for your post
Just use the normal size, we will see as good and it will be more acceptable

on whats app you can add contacts on the google contacts and they will be shown as your contacts!!

awesome, thanks for the tip!

Sorry I have read lots of posts on xda but I didn't know how to make a post at the first place and I didn't know it would turn out that big sorry

How did you know I am blind!
well, that method doesn't always work. (Maybe if they backed up and restored both app and settings)
It is nice of you to mention it for other people to know.
What is the advantage of using whatsapp over xabber (jabber), skype or viber?

Well I said I was sorry to make the post so big and still I say I didn't mean to make it that big
Anything may not work for a specific reason either you didn't follow the instructions or something is wrong you don't know about
And you're welcome for your compliment
Personally I love Skype it's the highest quality of sound and video and gives you im but whatsapp is more like BBM but for android. The only special thing about viber is that it uses your contacts directly and you have your people on your phone without adding (unlike Skype) I think if Skype uses the integration of whatsapp and viber with your contacts it will be the best app for free calls and msgs out there

[Q] Track a phone using the mobile #

I was recently told that there is an app that tracks any phone using the mobile number.
Apparently you dont need it installed on the phone your tracking all you need is to know their mobile phone number.
Is this even possible?
Can anyone tell me if this person is talking out of their A$$ or if this app ever existed? because it would be amazingly helpful in finding an Optimus G that was recently stolen from me. (I know who has it and know the # associated with their sim.)
If you can confirm this, can you also provide a link for download please? many thanks.
EDIT: I never wrote down my IMEI or serial #.. so Im kind of hooped.. Is there anyway to push an app to someone elses phone? or someway I can get this dealt with that I may not have thought of yet? My carrier has no log of the phone because I didnt buy it through them.

Tracking mobiles!

You can track a mobile using ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER which is pre-installed in mobiles if the play store gets updated.
ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER can be accessed through
SETTINGS --> SECURITY --> DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS
Once you activate ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER, you can track your mobile, erase datas from your lost mobile by logging in to ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER in a web browser by giving the email id and password which you used in your mobile.
However i dont recognize any app that tracks a mobile using IMEI number..

I'd be very very careful with apps advertized having this feature.
In theory, the mobile provider can track your phone, because they issued the SIM and phone number to you. But the providers don't supply this information to anyone but law enforcement/NSA/other three letter agency. Imagine the stalking possibilities...
Why I'd be very careful (as in: not downloading and installing at all...) about this is, that I've seen websites advertizing this service, and when you enter a phone number, you're asked to download and run an exe file. It probably won't work but infect your computer with malware.
I doubt it's any different with android apps.
If you install a tracking app on your phone yourself that reports to somewhere (e.g. google device tracking, "lost my iphone"), that's a whole different situation - you're voluntary giving your position to someone to keep, and that's sensor data acquired from your phone.

The truth
Everyone needs to know the truth that is sometimes hidden behind the most deceptive appearances. Everyone, too, needs to be certain of the sincerity of their relatives...
SpyBubble is likely to become the best smartphone application for that => phoneservicetracker.com

I don't think tracking a phone using the mobile number is possible for consumers, if you lodge a police complaint they may go through your mobile carrier and then track it (depending on how much effort the police in your country put in for a lost phone). But if you know who stole it and their phone number that's a good enough basis to talk to the cops, you're going to need some proof of purchase of the phone though...
Just in case the guy hasn't wiped the phone and one of your accounts is still active on it, you can push apps through that account on Google Play by going to the Google Play website on your pc and logging in with that account. Then you can push one of many tracking apps and figure out where your phone is. My personal favourite is an app called 'android lost' through which you can do the usual - track, wipe, ring, vibrate etc but you can also access the mic and the cameras.
Also, you can maybe play it smart with some social engineering. Get a girl to call up the guy and ask him out at some place and you'll find him there!

do u got a way for the Iphone too?

[Q] A few questions about rooting my Edge

Hi Everyone,
I have owned the T-Mobile Edge for about a month now. So far I am loving the device, but coming from a Blackberry there are a few minor things that bug me. I have found workarounds by installing third party apps but would like to know if I root my device if it is possible to do without these workarounds. Please note these are all my personal preferences.
1. On whatsapp save media to my SD card instead of phone memory.
2. When sending a text message press enter to send instead of the send button.
3. I had one more issue with the phone dialer but tospace2006 has offered a suggestion about that already.
Thank you for any responses.

I know there's an app that requires root where you can change default save locations for things, I'll try to find that. And I believe there's a setting in the messaging app that allows you to press enter to send. At least there used to be in older Samsung phones.

phicomm EX780L issue with Whats app
@stas30
I have seen your post on 4pda and you same to know your stuff on the phone I have phicomm EX780L.
I have managed to get rid of the malware and virus on the device and have updated with you firmware t24.
But I still have the problem with Whatsapp always closing down when I get a message. Have you tried this app on the device does it work for you ?
I have spoken with Whatsapp and they can't help.
Looking forward to your reply

Hi there
I don't have a fix but I was able to get rid of the malware by installing a app that deletes vendor apps. Do a scan with avg and it will tell you what apps are malware.
But for the issue with the what's app it's still not working for me.
Where did you buy from ?
I got mine from chinavasion and the are stalling on giving my money back.
Thanks

phicomm ex780L full tutorial
Two Phicomm ex780L arrived last week to a colleague, and after being out all weekend battling malware coming default (easy thing to remove), we have sought English, Spanish and Russian forums, but nobody had the whatsapp solution... but we have after being struggling with error adding contacts to google account and error whatsapp, we finally have found solutions.
The error of the contacts was somewhat easier to solve, also yesterday, the user "stas30" published a rom which already solved that error, but WhatsApp has given us more war .. but finally is solved!
We have written a tutorial in Spanish and English on our web forum, which you can see at:
androidparatorpes [dot] com/foro/dispositivos/42-buenos-y-potentes-moviles-por-menos-de-150#130
We hope you look easy steps to take, enjoy it as much or more as we look for a solution and at the end you may enjoy 100% of this device as we are doing now!

hello, excuse my English, I'm Italian.
I installed your good rom and followed your guide to getting whatsapp but unfortunately does not work. I created the "DO NOT OPEN" group and a friend of mine sent the message in the group but I have not read the message, then he sent me a message out of the group and whtasapp crashed! I tried several times but nothing. How can I do? it is possible that an application so used is not supported by the phone?

Hey there, I was just about to buy this phone from chinavasion, I've returned 2 phones to them so far and they do take a while to sort it out but they've refunded me each time thankfully! Can you explain to me about the malware issue as this is the first I've heard about it in all the reviews and that as in what kind of malware and are they system apps which need to be deleted after being rooted? I hope you dont mind me asking too but howcome you are getting a refund on the phone, did it break or something? Im just trying to weigh up my options before i invest in a relatively expensive bit of tech. I'd really appreciate a quick response as I need to get a phone off chinavasion soon (I have credit on their site because of the last refund),
Thank you

have signal but no calls
hi Hope you can help me
i can’t make or receive calls.
sim is ok.
i tried to update but with no success.
tried to change dialer.
desperatly tried do hard copy of root files from another ex780L .
all without success.
how can i do to resolve this problem?
Pardon my english and this noob.
thanks to you all

You can follow our tutorial to install a new rom without malware and to be able to run whatsapp without problems.

Used to flash custom firmware with gapps from stas.
Ok, so recently I've scanned the phone with CM Security, and there were 2 malware threats found.
Used whatsapp workaround from above post. Works, but trying to call crashes the app. Trying to use autocorrect text also crashes the app. Important! Do not setup band to LTE only, otherwise you will not be able to call! 4G is only internet. You still need 3G to make calls!

another phone to avoid.

Excuse me, I would like to know whether this official firmware is multilanguage which includes Vietnamese or not. And would you showing me how to flash it? If By using stock recovery, then do I need to rename it to update.zip or something?!
Thank you

Android 5.0
Hi, Any news about android 5.0 or 6 for this phone? Can somebody transform a rom from another device and probe it in this device? Mi device has the same problems (whatsapp and malwares) but i Install the rom from Stas30 and it works nice. i solve the problem of whatsapp with the unread message. But it still turned off whenever it wanted. I had a oneplus one before that has almost the same characteristics and same processor and it happened too. I think that it is a problem of the processor that gets heated.
But please I think that a newer version of android will work very good with this phone and could solve a lot of bugs

try porting yourself,

No one can port another rom for this phone?

Fix whatsapp problem
FIX WHATSAPP PROBLEM
- What steps should I take?
The problem of forced close for whatsapp appears when we receive a new message, appearing to number of unread messages in the contact that sent us the message, if we are quick enough, once entered whatsapp and in that conversation, it clears the unread message icon and whatsapp works again, but when we receive another message, whatsapp fails again, so we have found this solution:
1. Create a group called "DO NOT OPEN" and invite a friend or family inside.
2. As group picture, we can put the sign "NO ENTRY"
3. We go back, where whatsapp show us active chats.
4. We asked our friend / family to send us a message to the group saying: Do not open or delete this group
5. Now, whatsapp we will give us a "force close".
6. We asked our friend / family to send us a private message to our whatsapp (but not in the group)
7. Open whatsapp, it will fail, but when you close the error no longer give us more "force close" and finally Notifications will work again, because we will always have an unread message (inside the group called "DO NOT OPEN"), and with these simple steps we will be able to use whatsapp without errors.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ plus cannot migrate Wechat from old phone

Hi,
just got the Samsung Galaxy S8+/plus
found it very awesome,
got some app crashed such as the gallery, however after a few boots the problem is gone.
But the main part is i want to transfer or migrate the WECHAT from my old phone.
My old phone is Huawei Mate 9.
I followed, migrate all the chat from the chat migrate setting. I have 70 chats. I have a few chats over 400MB and probably 2gb to 3 gb in total.
When i try to migrate via the same WIFI network, it said "Network Disconnected" and then stop the transfer.
Are there other ways i can transfer all chats? I could be able to transfer those less than 2mb, but not those big files.
Please help!!

This is the way I have tried for those for may be interested.
I have a windows 10 surface pro. I downloaded the wechat for Windows and backup the selected chat.
Back up on pc.
Once this is finished, I log off and connect the new phone by scanning the qr code. And then select "restore to phone."
This is the way I made it for myself
All via WiFi.

Sorry mate, doing it now and it is going smooth as butter.
I took sim out of old phone (6P), popped it into s8+, updated software, messed around with a couple of apps, then simply went into chat migration on old phone and set up the scan code ready to go.
Then I logged into wechat on s8+, verified new phone with the code, then simply scanned code. Boom. all migrated.
Cheers
EDIT: Actually - wait - there's no bloody chat in it - lol.
