Nexus 5 & whatsapp issue

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.

Are you on Art or Dalvik?

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

Hello!
I think with root You will able to clean the bloatware from You device! Type in google search: ,.ME173X root" There must be tutorials how to root Your device! Or sometimes it's recommended to clean the memory if You have a task manager on You device! If there isn't. In settings You can find the running processes and You will be able to ,,kill" the processes what uses a lot of RAM.
I hope I could help You!

A tip: I always used Titanium Backup pro/free to remove the factory bloatware and that was always successful! But be careful do not remove the system apps because Your device easily can be unstable! For example: It won't boot as You said.
And the most important thing! Always create a backup before remove apps, if You don't You won't be able to restore the removed app.

Thanks for the tip. Yeah i really wanna root but im kinda worried it may happen again . Dont know if it was because of the deleting system apps. My brother said he deleted the default launcher. When i was using the tablet it always said "Unfortunately the Launcher has stopped." So Im not sure if its becuase of this or it was becuase i rooted it.

Willingly! If You root Your device there is a small chance to brick it, but if You know how to restore the original stock ROM there's no need to panic! That was a big mistake to delete the home laucnher. I don't blame You. Your Brother did it. As You said ,,Unfortunately the Launcher has stopped" error message appeared because You device wanted to start the launcher again ,but the launcher has been removed from Your device. If You doing the removing carefully Youre device must working perfectly!

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

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!!!

First check you have full root or not.

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.

Unable to change GPS joystick as a system app

Hello Everyone,
I have rooted my phone and am using GPS joystick Fake GPS location app from the play store. I am using a private mode within this app which helps me to create a copy of the app with a different name so that POGO does not detect it.
Everything works fine till here. I am using Lucky patcher to change the installed cloned app as a system app and it asks for a restart, after restart the cloned app goes missing.
I have no idea what is gng wrong and would need some light and help on this.
I am using a Xiaomi Mi Max
Android Version : 7.0 NRD90M

You can't use Titainium backup that does it but other then that I don't know. I don't mess with things like that.
Also just be careful. They are banning people caught cheating. To the point of banning the device itself.

Use titanium backup. Saw the auto correct was a mistake. That is really the only way but even then it has been detected by the game.

Can we not make an app a system app without using any of these apps?
IF i am right does it not just move the data/app to priv/app folder?

It does but it requires root. You could try just moving it with a file explorer but no promises it will work. Normally system apps only work when flashed. Also they tend to code things to look in the data partition. So moving it to system can cause issues.
You can try a few but no promises.

The phone is rooted for sure, but moving the data/app to priv/app then when I reboot it.. the files go missing! As if it was never pasted there...! That is what is causing all the issues!

That's most likely due to the signature. All apps in system need to have the same signature. Without it the apk won't run at all.
I can't help any more then that. People here don't use multiple versions of the same app.
