Hey guys,
Im sending my OPO to RMA soon to fix the unresponsive and broken screen and will be using my Note 3 for the time being.
My note 3 is locked to a different carrier though so when I put my OPO sim card into it, it wont recieve any texts.
Is it possible to back up my whatsapp with out requiring reactivation? I use whatsapp a lot so it would be great if there was a solution.
I realise Titanium is a possible way to do it but my opo isnt rooted and im sending it off tomorrow.
Thanks!

Titanium Backup does it. I have my Whatsapp restored every time and it does not need verification.
Just copy the WhatsApp folder from your phone to the other phone.
Ultimate Backup Lite from Play Store... It's like Titanium but easier to use

That wont stop it from asking for verification though will it?

Hi.
Im current using Asus Transformer wifi model with PRIME 2.0.2 kernel.
And i also hv a Samsung Galaxy S and hv WhatsApp installed.
How can i install the WhatsApp on a non 3G Asus Transformer so that i can use WhatsApp on wifi?
How can we fool WhatsApp into thinking Asus Transformer is a phone?
Anyone can help?
TIA
I manage to install whatsapp after enabling 3G, with a 3G dongle inserted. for some reason my TF manage to get the sms send from whatsapp, and activate the application.
However there are problems with the contacts, due to the fact that I cannot view their names other than numbers.
For information on how to setup ur 3G dongle into your wifi only transformer

How did you install whatsapp on the wifi only Transformer? A friend of mine tried it on his, but got an error message saying it can't recognize the device. I have an Acer Iconia A501 which accepts a SIM card, and it installs properly even though I didn't insert a SIM card, I think it only detects the device capabilities, not whether it physically has a SIM card. Anyway, I was able to use the Call Me function in the Iconia, but my friend can't even get it to install on his Transformer. How'd you do it?

Same here! I also get this message...
Maybe Titanium Backup can be used to restore the data from an mobile phone.

Yes, Titanium Backup is the way to do it, that works. You must backup and restore WITH data!
What if the device isn't rooted? Ti Backup wouldn't work then would it?
u must have root acces
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 wout1976.
Titanium backup and restore worked great. Thanks.
Do you have any ideas in regards to getting whatsapp to recognise contacts. they all just show up as numbers so far. Thanks

Thanks for the instructions. I've tried it and it works. The only thing I noticed is the wireless connection at WhatApp aborts more often than on the phone

I dont have a problem with that.
What is the wifi disconnection setting set at?
never? screen off?
I found that i will only receive messages on one or the other device. which is fair enough.
but the contacts thing is a little distracting. you can tell by what they are saying in the conversation. plus its also a great way to learn your firends numbers.

Worked this one out:
Long press on the conversations and add to your contacts. For some reason the saved contacts format is missing the 0 in front of the phone number, so you just have to save it to the appropriate and or existing contact/s
edit. actually.... nope. not working...
Re:
I'm using Asus transformer only.
So you need to have transformer prime rooted for this to work?
Hi,
I have ASUS Transformer TF101 which is not rooted! When I try to install whatsapp; it doesn't go beyond "Agree & Continue" page. It says device not recognised.
I have a working whatsapp on my android phone and I just want to use it on my ASUS tab. I don't want t9 root my phone or tab only for this!
Any other option?

If you don't have a mobile line in your TF, its imposible to configure Whatsapp, since it sends a message to your mobile phone to confirm your number. The only way to have Whatsapp in a WiFi tablet is as described above. And you will need root.

I'm sure the initial setup process was carried out on another android device, and then backed up, restored to the prime. (as the process has been mentioned)
However, I wasn't sucessful in getting whatsapp to work. It is working, but messages aren't being sent or received (I've remove whatsapp from the original phone, its only on the prime)
Still to know if this is a proxy server issue or I did something wrong.
i have a samsung galaxy s captivate rooted and running cyanogen mod & miui. i've had whats app installed on it since july. i change my simcard to another phone (htc) for work coz i dont want my samsung to get damaged. it also has whats app installed so when i put it in i have to reverify.
likewise when i get home from work and put the sime back in my cappy i have to reverify whatsapp again on it.
i do this mon-fri and have for the past 2 months.
today i went to work with the simcard in htc and was propted to reverify whatsapp. fine. come home and put sim back in cappy. it propmted me to verify went through the process got sent a code text then it said "Initializing" for ages and i keep getting message "failure. sorry unable to complete initialisation"
i've tried rebooting the phone, i've also tried unistalling and reinstalling the app itself.
any ideas whats caused this and how to fix it?
I AM FULLY CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (WIFI)
it seems there is a problem at their end
sync contacts dosent work thats a problem
if u have backup restore it which i did able to send msg but not able to refresh contacts
lets us hope they fix it soon
so there is an ongoing problem with the actuall app just now?
it said something about previous msgs detected do i want to restore then i clicked yes but again it wont get past the initialization.
Yes ongoing probs
now it seems solved my contacts is up but status msg is shown as error
Restore the whole app if you had backed up with titanium backup or similar apps
WhatsApp status functionality is currently not available. We are working on resolving it soon-ish...

Hey Folks,
The story starts with this:
I started my whatsapp in Sydney when I was studying offshore. Obviously it is a +61 number with my GNEX. Now, I have graduated and now back to my home country using a new +852 sim. I have no issue using my +61 number for my whatsapp with my +852 sim.
But now, N5 is coming I will be one of them to rush for the phone.
The problem is:
Once I get my N5, I will have a new phone but not the +61 sim (at least not functioning), I would not be able to get pass the verification later on even I root the phone and uses titanium backup...
Seemed not too related to N5 itself, but just wondering any workaround from the great XDA members and developers =]
Cheers,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time I tried restoring WhatsApp with Titanium Backup, it doesn't asks for verification anymore. This was several months ago though, so I'm not sure if it still works just fine now.
Just make sure the app is on its latest version from the play store before creating a backup, and cross your fingers :fingers-crossed:
If all else fails I guess you can use your Galaxy Nexus as a wifi only device?

This only works if you're using the same SIM card / number, if not it will ask for verification.
The only way is to make a backup of your messages from within the app, then copy the folder "whatsapp" from your sd card to your new phone.

Actually, when I did that it was from an old Nexus S to my Nexus 7 (2012, WiFi). So I don't think it matters if I'm using the same SIM card since my Nexus 7 had no slot for it. Also I didn't copy the whatsapp folder on my /sdcard. Just a simple backup and restore using Titanium Backup did the trick.
Nonetheless, like I said it was several months ago. Not sure if it'll still work, but I think it's worth a try
If it still fails maybe try copying the whatsapp folder like adam1000rr suggested :fingers-crossed:
Thanks guys, I am now thinking of how whatsapp is detecting the verification need... if I am able to bypass this, titanium backup should work.

Hi mate, got your Nexus 5 yet? I am in the same situation in that my whatsapp was originally registered in HK (+825) on a Galaxy Nexus and I don't have access to my SIM card right now while I'm travelling. Tested today 03/11, it all worked fine for me on the Nexus 5, just make sure both phones are rooted so you can install Titanium Backup for this to work.

Hey buddy thanks for that, I managed to use titanium backup to get my whatsapp back online...
Nexus 5 just as sweet as kitkat (didn't have 32gb in hk tho)! Now I have Force close on wechat "people nearby" and go keyboard. Other than that, it is just perfect =]

Hi guys,
I have a new issue. Continuing my story... I managed to get my +61 number whatsapp account on my N5 via titanium backup but now I HAVE LOST MY N5! My heart broken and got one back immediately (32gb haha). Now the issue is, I do not have a titanium backup of my N5 (of the +61 whatsapp account data) but only my GNEX one (which obviously outdated). When I am trying to do the same trick, it asks me to verify my new N5. Obviously the sms verification does not work nor the "call me" verification.
I don't care about the whatsapp conversation anymore (as it would be impossible to retrieve as the history is stored in the phone itself due to the whatsapp nature). My little wish is to have my +61 number back as my whatsapp account....=[
Please, my fellow XDA Developers and N5 buddies, give me a hand... I could buy you guys a bear if there is a fix..
Thank you...

I only just started using Whatsapp -- I'm curious, what does it matter which phone # you have? Is the only reason to "recover" a phone # you don't actually have anymore the convenience of not telling all your friends about your new #?
I'm on OB4. It has been this way since 3, and yes I've tried a factory reset.
Seems like people who send me texts never get their messages through.
I've tried just shy of everything. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using Textra Pro btw
Yes it is happening to me too.. Many a times i wont get the otp. I thought it was carrier issue.
makes me feel a little bit better. i was beginning to think all my friends started hating me

Same here. I was on the Official and had to go back to Android 9. Really sucks because I really liked 10
I installed carrier services from the play store, and it seems to be making it better
I wasn't getting them in the google messenger app and couldnt' download attachments (oneplus messenger or whatever it's called is disabled). I just installed this, looking forward to my next mms.

did it fix it?
I have had this issue on Android 10 only.
I've pinpointed it to when the phone is inactive for I don't know how long.. I work third shift, so sleep in the am woke up everyday for 2 weeks to texts **** down calling worked..
Only fix is reboot.
Temp fix is a scheduled shutdown and start up while I sleep and phone charges. Haven't had issues in a week now. I'm running atnt and Verizon side by side

Did you find a fix for this?
I was having issues with the stock messaging app, did not get a lot of text, or have them send either. It did not matter what network the recipient/sender was on. I switched to google messages and have not had the issue repeat itself. I am on tmo, and this happened to me months back.

I'm not the one with issue now. My issue a few years ago was the backup was on G drive was corrupted resulting in WhatsApp not restoring. Since then I've moved on to a more robust messaging system called Telegram.
