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
Hi all, I have been using Snapchat these days to chat with my friends so seems haven't been Real texting for long time. This morning I got a message from a VIP customer of his schedule to London next week. While I was about to dab on showing the text but what the hell!!! The phone crashed and rebooted automatically, not only my client's SMS but all messages stored on my phone vanished. No problem I can ask my client to send again his plan but what about the rest messages?! My brain stopped working at that exact moment.
I have been searching so hard for a solution to quick regain lost message from Android phone. Yes, forget to tell you that I am using Samsung GT-s5300. After reading and googling for ages, I find that "Myjad Android SMS Recovery" might be the most suitable tool for me at the moment.
So now I need advice! Whoever has utilized this program before is very much welcomed to post a comment coz your opinion would be a HUGE contribution to me. Urgently need reply. Thank you millions in advanced.
Sorry, you seem to be in the wrong forum.
This is for support related to the Themer App alone.
Try asking in the Android General forum.

Dear Friends , I just bought my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 MTL 10 32 GB, now with me for one week, I think it is a great device really, i call him the Father of my all mobiles before!. anyhow, I have two problems annoying me , The first one is that e mails reaches the inbox without notifying me once they arrived neither by sound, nor by icon in the notification bar. I have tried every possible setting that you can imagine. more i have searched online, but it seems that it is my only problem(or no one reported it yet)
The notification with sound and in the notification bar only happens when i open the e mail app. it happens mostly with the built in apps (that i setup for my Hotmail and Yahoo) otherwise the gmail app is doing fine.
My second problem is that My Volvo S60 Infotainment system is not fully compatible with the Bluetooth of my new HM7 , as i was able to use Kakao and Viber with my car speakers before with my Samsung Galaxy S5 but now I cannot with HM7.
I really appreciate anyone response about that.
Thanks
you are not a lone
Dear Friend,

Same problem also for P7 modell of my collegue...seems to be a EMUI problem with certain (customer) applications (Whatsapp also...).
For email I managed it by using GMAIL and application called UNREAD BADGES FOR GMAIL, in other words a widget designed for GMAIL app and available in the GOOGLE STORE (free) and it works. You have to set up well the energy consumption settings and the notification settings, and then it should work.
Well, thank you all for your support and comments, as a matter of fact, few days after i posted my problem here , i spent almost half a day searching for a solution in this forum and over the internet and my conclusion is , Do not waste your time find a solution because there is non, some people having notification with e mail only like myself, others has it with Whatsapp( more annoying) , i read a full thread here in this forum about every possible solution for the problem, from settings of notifications , power saving , Network settings for data and Always on Wifi. Actually reading that thread was extremely interesting, some people are trying to help the one who started the thread (Mr)(Microdog), others sarcastic and Microdog desperately wants to solve the problem as he likes the phone so much (just like myself) and then at the end guess what? the guy decided to sell the phone! and others persuading him to wait, it was so so funny. i loved it. although , i did not find the solution for my problem but i realized that we human beings have remarkable built in desire to help each other no matter anything( I am not religious by the way) , any how , i decided to live with the condition till the new update will come by end of January or February 2015 may be it will solve the problem, because trust me this is one of the best phones that i have ever had!
NB: for you who want to have a look on the thread that i mentioned above (may be it will work for you) please look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/push-notification-data-screen-off-t2985489
NB: I think in one of the posts , there is someone is doing some app to fix the problem, i tried it and it is not working , and unfortunately it delayed all the e mail notifications more , so i had to uninstall it and did hard rest, so please take care.
wishing all of you the best, thanks

yeah, i was one of those who tried to help.). i even persuaded @microdog to not sell his mate 7, but i guess i was too late.
I received b127 update a few days ago but there is still the problem with the e-mail notifications. I have the exchange notification in the panel and blinking led as well but without any ringtone.

Well, that is a disappointment, I was expecting this guys in Huawei will fix that issue with the new update. I think maybe the problem is in their EMUI . We have to raise this problem to Huawei again.
Same problem here !
I had to use 3rd party app "myMail" and it's working great !
100 % than stock email app !

It is the stock email app, although i do experience times where i miss sound notifications, when i have switched between vibration and silent modes. I can't seem to figure out the trigger.
As for email, I use Aquamail, but have also used , cloudmagic, k9, blue mail and boxer, all notifications worked (i tested a bunch to see which had best push times and battery usage).
The notifications worked on all third party email apps for me, so i think it may be an inherent problem with the stock app, but could also be a system wide issue as i do get sound drop outs for some apps randomly as I mentioned before. I have checked all the notification, power settings, screen off etc.. so i think it may be a system bug, corrects on reboot. Hopefully next update fixes it.
Huawei Support - Useless
i sent many emails to Huawei support team but i didn't receive any feedback from them since 10 days

Go to settings > protected apps and protect them. Otherwise they may be unprotected and closed when you close the applications. In order to receive the notifications, the application must be running in the background to work. It consume more battery but there is no other way.

Whatsapp Inc. has released a beta version for testing the calling feature. It just needs the latest version of whatsapp .531 which can be downloaded through official website. After downloading you need to be called through someone who has that calling feature activated. Answer the call for 2 sec that's it. The app UI changes to calls and chats. It will be activated. It has been tested and worked for many members.
UPDATE: The servers are down Please be patient I will call everyone as the servers are opened again.
UPATE 2: Come on folks do not post your numbers here. Personal message me. I have already got more than 100 numbers. I take no responsibility if you get any fake calls or messages. And please be patient I have contacted whatsapp they said it was a test feature which was released to test they will soon update it to all.
Thanx.
thanks
activate please

I have gone through the list of all forums and also the FAQ in this forum and to me it seems that this is the right place. Please feel free to suggest or move this thread to some other forum if I made a mistake.
I am unable to play whatsapp voice messages on a Lenovo a 7700 android 6.0 device. I also tested on another Lenovo device which is a tablet 8.
In both cases, after pressing the play button, the content is played for approximately a second and then it stops playing. The user has to press the play button again and it will play the content for approximately another second again.
This started happening almost simultaneously about a month ago. I am assuming that there may be a whatsapp update that happen automatically on both of these devices. All I can find is that a whatsapp had recently changed the voice file format. But I am able to play with the new voice file format on both devices if I share the content to my email and then download and play it.
I have tried a variety of after researching various links on the Internet but have not been able to resolve the issue. Since the only thing that is common between the two mobile devices on which I tested this android 6.0 version, I'm wondering if there is any problem with that specific version.
Thanks for any inputs
I only way I could communicate with the outside world using a computer in device. So this is very important to me.
Thank you
Are you sure that your WhatsApp Messenger is the latest version, Version 2.17.422? If not, upgrade it and try again, please.
I upgraded to 2.17.427
Thank you for your response. I upgraded to the latest version of the reading your response. The earlier version was in the 300 series.
I'm still facing the same issue in both the devices.
Here is a query that may possibly at least provide some kind of a workaround.
There's whatsapp rely on an external player or does it have an internal player? Can I somehow configure it to use an external player? If so, then I can download a player specifically for that file format.
When I send the file as an attachment in email and then download the file and then play using Google play music, it works okay. The problem is that it is difficult for me to do all of these steps with the problem in my hands.
Even if there is some way where I can share this whatsapp message with the voice automatically to a player which can then play it, that will be good. However, on android, we are not given that choice. We can only share through email, Bluetooth and share it. If I can somehow configure whatsapp to share the messages to an audio player, that would also work.
Thanks for any inputs.

Clear the cache of the WhatsApp and replay please
There is no cache available on whatsapp
Thank you for your response. I checked whatsapp but there is no cache setting available on whatsapp.
There is an option that tells you about the storage used for photo whatsapp and I deleted the storage for one particular contact and then tried sending a voice message through the same contact. It still does not work.
I have double checked the version. It is shown on the help/app info menu.
It is kind of surprising that I am the only one who seems to be having a problem and that too at multiple devices. I don't even own one of the devices which is Lenovo. However, it has been installed more than one year ago and has been working fine.
Please suggest if there is any way to troubleshoot this.
Is there any is kind of a whatsapp forum for bugs where people can report any of the problems that they find.
Thank you for your perseverance and continuing to respond on this thread. Highly appreciated.

Thank you for your response. I cleared the cache. It did not work. Ultimately, I uninstalled whatsapp. Then I reinstalled again (without rebooting the phone). Whatsapp was able to find messages from Google Drive and asked me if I wanted to restore them? In the hope to fix the issue, I wanted to do a completely new start so I did not restore the messages also.
It is still showing the problem. I'm really perplexed as to what can whatsapp remember after installation that the same problem is still being experienced. Is there something external to whatsapp that could because the problem?
