Question WhatsApp not getting messages until I open it? - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Hey Guys,
My WhatsApp keeps getting killed in the background.
I don't receive messages until I open the App.
What else to set other than what's mentioned below ?
* Set Data - to Allow even in Data saver Mode
* Battery Usage - Unrestricted
* Turn off Battery Optimization altogether (That list doesn't show WhatsApp)
Anything else?
Any idea is much appreciated.

Try to put that application into Never Sleeping App section ( Device Care / Battery) and see ..... mate.

If the battery usage is set to unrestricted like below ;
It wont appear in the deep sleep list. So I guess the independent settings supersedes the deep sleep list.

Solved the issue.
If you Titanium Backup a WhatsApp,
Make sure to delete the *.gms files from the data folders. This will reset your GCM Push ID which is being carried from your previous device. Once a new ID gets assigned, You'll be fine.

You need Root access Bro.
Go to Root / Data / data / com.whatsapp / Inside two folders you'll find 2 x GMS files. Just delete them,
Then clear PlayServiices Data and Restart the phone.

Clean Install and restoring data with the local method or Google Drive method is the only solution.
This notification goof up happens if you do a Titanium Backup restore which requires root.
Nothing else should mess this up -- except for aggressive battery settings.

Ohh, Clear.
Damn .. I've got no clue how to.
Google on GCM Push reset, GCM ID reset etc.
Your GCM ID is from your old device, and new Google account has a different one.
That's why you're not online always.

On Plus / GB / FM editions - Local backup doesn't work anymore.
It will trigger you to exit all your groups as if your number was deleted.
Only the In-built titanium like backup will work.

i uninstalled and when i install back, there's an option to directly restore, seems to work. i just tested, however, when im watching tiktok, youtube for a long period of time, the notification seems to come in silently, doesn't have sound or popup, vibration etc. but you can see the whatsapp icon at the status bar.
if it's just a short period, the notifications will still appear. im so lost right now, issit a samsung thing?

[Q] Saving game progress (full unlock)

Is there is a way to store the progress of a game (full unlocked) and restore it after flashing/etc?

Well... You could use an app that tells the game's name and its id (i.e. 1ccc6b7a-4985-4eb9- etc etc), like app Siege.
Since this id is also the directory's name, you could use a file explorer (i.e. wPhoExplorer) to loo into it (you will find it in \Applications\Data\1ccc6b7a- etc etc).
I think that the progress should be stored their.
Then you can use a backup application like WPV App Data Backup and you should get back your progress.
I have to be honest: each time I changed a new custom ROM, I never got back my Bug village progress....... Don't know wether this backup works only for sideload app or not...

is that a question or statement?
if it is a question, i would advise not uninstalling anything that is included in your phone and google related for the most part. Of course you can remove hangouts, calendar, calculator, gallery blah blah blah, but its never a good idea to uninstall the email application that google uses for authentication on the phone itself.
from what you listed, if any one thing in that list caused your issue, its removing gmail

factory reset. also, delete the folder on the internal storage called "android". That folder contains app information and isnt formatted during a flash via TWRP or even in Odin. Itll cause app crashes left and right. Delete the folder from within the file manager in TWRP, reboot to download mode, flash whatever firmware youre wanting on it via Odin, let it boot, reboot to stock recovery, factory reset (at least once. i always do it 3 times, and no, im not kidding), reboot and it should be fine from there. The problem youre facing has been experienced by countless people over the years and phones. Ive seen issues VERY similar to this over the last 8+ years, and this is always the easiest fix for it

Hi folks.
I did only backup the parameters as suggested by the app, but what a pitty....
The main file only weight 468 Bytes (attachement)
This method is clearly unrelialable. As it doesn't backup my whole parameters.
TitaniumBackup appears to be my last shot, but I still have to determine what to backup...

You won't be disappointed. I freeze apps with icebox. Swift backs up more than just apps.
Of course, it's individual choice but I rely on OP Switch as my backup solution. I was a big fan for TB during my rooted days. With excellent Oxygen OS and OP Switch, I have no desire to root the phone anymore.
I haven't used Swift Backup app, but it might be worth the try. It's available on play store.

There aren't many apps on Oxygen OS that I consider bloatware. I use most of them. If I don't use a particular app, I simply disable it. If it still bothers me there are many guides online to debloat using adb commands.
I use paid version of AdGuard and have no issues with blocking ads. One license fee covers all 3 phones in my family.

can I use modded WhatsApp without root/unlocked bootloader

Hello,
I use a modded WhatsApp for years on phones with unlocked bootloader.
Now on p40 pro it's impossible to use root rights.
Is there an option to get this working?
I use fouadsmod.
Thanks in advance
what is wrong with the usual whatsapp? it one of the rare apps that works perfectly.
None of the Modded WhatsApp APK's need root access. (Unless your WhatsApp can check other users other conversations as well).
If it's asking for ROOT, Get rid of it.

Question Root without phone resetting? Or backup app+it's data via adb or similar?

So I'm changing phones, but there's one app which I would have to backup including it's data. If I'd be rooted I could use Titanium Backup, unfortunately I'm not rooted.
Is there a way to root without wiping the phone or is there another way to backup the apps data (and restore) via adb or something else?

How to fully backup and restore your Android device without root
One of Android’s little-known tricks is its built-in backup and restore process that allows users to save their private data...

For that I'd need a way to remove everything from the backup besides WhatsApp though. As that does a backup and restore of everything, all apps, all file system etc IIRC
Trying adb backup now, there seems to be a java tool that allows you to open the backup file on pc

Unfortunately WhatsApp wasn't included in the full backup for some reason
I just tried an app on play store called Swift Backup and it worked!
I made a backup of just whatsapp then deleted it and it restored it without signing in

Is your phone rooted? Because all it does for me is apk backup, no data
hmm.. yep I'm rooted
why can't you sign in to whatsapp on your new phone

I'm living in the UK for a few more months, but still use my German number on WhatsApp. The number has since been retired so I can't get SMS/calls on that one anymore, so I'm unable to sign in.
I wish I would've rooted the phone....

So I'm changing phones, but there's one app which I would have to backup including it's data. If I'd be rooted I could use Titanium Backup, unfortunately I'm not rooted.
Is there a way to root without wiping the phone or is there another way to backup the apps data (and restore) via adb or something else?

Is that the Samsung moving phones thingy? Does that move apps including it's data so you don't have to set them up again?
I usually avoid the moving data from phone to phone during setup, because I take setting up a new phone as an opportunity to clean up data/apps. So I only reinstall those I actually need
EDIT: Just tried it, sadly not:

Backup with ur whatsapp. Its too easy. Anyway, in case u cant do it, think u have to reset only single app (whatsapp - like ur screenshot), so u cant?

As mentioned in here, using the backup inside WhatsApp still needs you to sign in again on the new phone which isn't my goal. I want to backup ALL of WhatsApp including the sign in, so I can just move it to the new phone without logging in.

Then u have 2 options:
1 - Root your phone.
2 - Ask dev of Whatsapp to do something for u (for all too.lol). But i think it'll never come true. Its too risky for any apps.

Yeah thanks, I know it's possible with root which I don't have and doing it wipes the phone which makes my whole reason for this pointless.
This whole post was just asking if there's any way to do it without root. If you can't help don't reply?
