Whatsapp in Nexus 7 (Different Method) - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

Hi,
I'm new to the forum, my name is Efrén and I really like all related with android, whatever.
Go to the point this morning seeking ways to communicate through the tablet and the reference point is always whatsapp but as we all know is not available for tablets, I know the different methods for install amd make it available including create a new cell number, which seemed really boring, so I decided to try something different.
I take my Galaxy Ace and made a backup of Whatsapp in Titanium Backup, then copy the files to my Nexus 7, after this I installed Whatsapp without opening the application, back Titanium Backup from my Nexus 7 and with the files there i use the option "restore app and data" and ready, I have all my conversations and Whatsapp in my Nexus 7, well I copy the contacts information to my Nexus 7 to see the names in the conversations.
And now I have Whatsapp in my Galaxy Ace and Nexus 7 with the same number and same contacts, the the lnly problem is that if you open while in your two devices, the server gets confused and receive messages on your smartphone while you send from your tablet or
vice versa, but just a matter of not having open whatsapp in both devices simultaneously and it work perfectly
I hope you find it useful and sorry if I made many mistakes when writing.

did this 2 months ago and i decided to remove whatsapp completely from my tablet because of the mentioned reason. Only 1 device receive the message and it's a random at that, sometimes i receive on my phone, sometimes i receive on my n7, couple of times i need to open both and play puzzle with my messages so i can understand the message. it's a good way but i believe it's not worth the hassle.

Why SMS on ICS (Galaxy Nexus) Can't handle big data?

I am big SMS/Texting lover and currently have 16600 SMS Messages. On our previous iPhone we have thousand SMS, iPhone Message still respond very good and quickly.
But why on my Galaxy Nexus after we reach 16600 our Messaging App really slowly and random refresh. Each time we need to write new SMS Message the application will be freeze for a while. :crying:
What's a problem? Does Ice Cream Sandwich can't handle huge SMS data? And why there are an option to AUTO DELETED when some amount of SMS/MMS data reached?
Another problem is... why I can search SMS Full Text? Search Box on Messaging App only search SMS data but not the sender. Any clue about it?
Any solution to Speed Up Messaging UP and keep our SMS data? Please Help
Put this in the Q & A section

Weird issue
Usually you're one in a million users who has that many texts going in and out on the phone.
Try another SMS app? Go SMS?

Sorry for wrong section.. But I can't move this tread... maybe some Moderator or Admin able to do it?
In my Country Texting/SMS is really cheap so we still use it for daily communication, beside that fact that our country Smartphone not popular yet. So.. many of my friends and family using Texting/SMS as my daily communications...
And again.. on iPhone with same size of data (16600) Message App still running smoothly... and that only on iPhone 4 with iOS 5 of course.
Any clue how to fix it? Does there any Backup SMS app that can handle period time? example I want to backup my SMS data 1 month ago and before it and only keep the fresh one on my phone...
Its slow because the read speed of the flash memory can't keep up. The app hangs until all contents been read.
The iOS messaging app probably indexes all messages as they come, preventing an initial rescan every time the app is launched.
That's just my guess.
Try deleting some messages though lol
Titanium backup backs up messages.
Gosms works well, as does Handecent messenger.
Try finding that sweet spot of message overflow, then set your auto deletion to that

I don't understand why people keep thousands of SMS messages.
Sure you use it as daily communications, but how many times do you go back and read messages you sent a week ago? I bet you NONE. Go delete your messages and stop being a digital hoarder.

How to: Install WhatsApp on your Nexus 7

METHOD 1
What your need:
Your mobile phone
Titainium Backup * Root
Steps to install WhatsApp to your Nexus 7:
Use TI Backup to backup WhatsApp on your phone
Copy the 3 backed up files (properties, tar.gz, apk.gz) from your Titainium Backup folder from your phone
Install Titainium Backup on your Nexus 7
Copy over those 3 backup files to your Nexus 7 (into Titainium Backup folder)
Run Titainium Backup and restore WhatsApp (App+Data)
Titainium Backup will first restore the app, and might self open
When WhatsApp opens up just close it
Titainium Backup will resume to restore the data
Now run WhatsApp again, and it will prompt you to follow the initialization procedures
It will fail after you submit your "mobile phone" number and Force Close
Run WhatsApp again, and you are good to go
:laugh::good:
Edit: Please note that my TitaniumBackup was done on a custom ICS ROM (ParanoidAndroid) from my Samsung Infuse 4G phone. ICS is the closest thing to JB... so perhaps if you back up from Foyo or GB, it might not work. But give it a try.
METHOD 2
StrangerWeather said:
This is my method. Might work with an landline if you don't have a mobile at all, I haven't tried. I have an ordinary mobile (not a smartphone), and I managed to get Whatsapp to work on the N7 using Bluestacks.
Start by following this:
Install Whatsapp apk: http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk
Install Appguard - details here for the next few steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=17
Now if you fail verification for both the SMS and Voice methods like I did, and if you don't have a smartphone, the following is an option.
You need: a pc, a mobile phone for texts (an ordinary mobile phone is fine).
1. Download and install Bluestacks on your PC http://www.bluestacks.com
2. Select "Social" and install Whatsapp on your PC.
3. Input your mobile number. The SMS verification should work this time. Be patient, it can take 10 minutes.
4. Once you have your code go back to your Nexus 7 and input it.
Hope this helps!

and the Nexus Whatsapp will use the same number as my phone?
So... if my phone gets a message, both phone and nexus will get it?

I've tried this before.. apparently it screws up the entire system. Some messages get send over to the phone, some send to N7 and some both! I wouldnt know if any of them didnt get sent over though..
But since this confusion started, i decided to take another number and use whatsapp along with it.. At least both my devices can chat with each other

Yes, it has the same number as your phone. But think of it like this, is not really a "number". WhatsApp treat your "number" like the account name (username).
It will go to your currently active device. I don't have issues with the messages, I used Nexus 7, all the messages went to my Nexus 7. If i start using my phone, messages will go to my phone. However, it MIGHT cause confusion if BOTH of your devices are active.

Think of this as Microsoft MSN Messenger... you only receives message towards your active client...
Anyhow, I'm using my mobile phone right now with WhatsApp, zero issue, since it is the currently active device.
It doesn't screw up anything, WhatsApp server just delivers to the whatever active device, and there is no sync just like MSN Messenger...
THANKS for this, I was a little disappointed when I can't install Whatsapp at the Play Store. :good:
Didn't work for me. Install went fine (restored from TB), but on running, it says that it can't identify my device, and that tablets aren't supported. Thinking that maybe it was my DPI, I changed to 160 and tried again. No dice.

That's normal, just hit cancel when it says can't identify your device, let TB restore the data as well. Then launch it again, the restored data will trick WhatsApp to bypass the initial device checking. It will "think" your device is supported (because it thinks it was from your mobile phone).
If it failed, just uninstall WhatsApp completely from your Nexus, then do a restore completely from your TB (MUST BE APP+DATA).
PS: My TB backup was done on ICS from ParanoidAndroid ROM for Samsung Infuse 4G, so, MAYBE there could be some conflict if you come from Foyo or GB. ICS is the closest thing to JB.
Thanks for sharing, working beautifully on my 7 now!

Edit: I used my Galaxy Nexus running JB for backing up the apps. They both run great without errors or fc's.

Technically, you can, if you can swap the iPhone SIM card into an android phone, setup Whatsapp in your android phone using the same number, then use TitaniumBackup to back it up and restore it in your Nexus 7.
didnt work

Works great. Thanks!

I had the same problem, kept saying not compatible with tabs. After a few dozens of tries I got it working. Uninstalled everything whatapp related (from N7)and just used the 3 files from titanium back up (from Gnex) placed those 3 files in back up folder (titanium) and restored from there. I can assure you it works. Follow steps posted om some earlier post here.
Messages do not syncronize between devices. What I write on Gnex stays there, same for Nexus 7.
Good luck.

It needs to be YOUR OWN android phone, what's the point of taking your friend's backup? You will end up having his user data and Whatsapp number, which doesn't match your Nexus 7's user (you). Of course it won't work. The point of taking the TB backup from your own phone is that when you restore it in the N7, everything would remain more of less the same, including the user profile etc.
Unless you can add your own Google account + Whatsapp account to your friend's phone set it up, run it, then do a TB backup under your own accounts, otherwise i highly doubt it will work.

Is it possible to use WhatsApp on Nexus 7?

Hi, since getting my Nexus 7, I'm loving it.
So much so that I have ignored my Note 2 when I'm home.
Which leads to this problem. I would like to install WhatsApp on my tablet, but at the same time sync whatever messages I have coming in on my phone.
I know there are ways to get WhatsApp on the N7, but I'm wondering if they actually sync. Meaning if I reply on my tablet, my phone gets it as well.
I know one way to get WhatsApp is to TB on my phone, then transfer the backup file into my N7, and restore it with TB again. I would like it to know whether it genuinely works before I root my N7.
Anyone in a similar spot?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
It works, but only on one device at a time, you cant use what's app on your mobile and N7 simultaneously,
you install what's app on N7, enter your mobile number, instead of verifying through SMS go for the call, you get the code on your mobile through a call from them, enter the code on N7 and it should work
no need to root the device for this.
1. download the apk of whatsapp from the net (or u can extract the apk from ur phone using es explorer.).
2. transfer the apk to ur nexus7 and install it.
3. enter the cell number u wanna use, u'll get the pin code on tht number via sms.
NO, it wont work on two devices simultaneously using the same number.
then again, almost everyone has two numbers these days. so why dont u just activate whatsapp on ur tab using ur secondary number. after tht u can IM ur contacts via whatsapp only telling them abt the new number on whatsapp. obviously they'll send u msgs on either of the two nos.
thts whta i hav done...............
Man, that's unfortunate.
I don't have two numbers. How did you come up with almost everyone has 2 numbers these days? Am I the only one still rolling with a single number?
Anyway, it's a shame they don't sync. Cos it's more convenient chatting when you're out on the phone, then continuing when you're at home with the tablet.
When you say it won't work simultaneously on 2 devices with the same number, do you mean I can't be online at the same time? But separately I still can?

Way to sync my texts?

Hello,
I have a wonderful nexus 5, that is my current cellular device. And I also have a wonderful nexus 7 2013. I tend to carry both with me all the time, considering the nexus fits perfectly in my jacket pockets.
I sync there files countless ways that it's as if my nexus 7 is simply an extension of of the 5. One thing that has been bugging me is the fact hangouts does not sync conversations via text messages from my nexus 5. Which makes sense considering there is no cellular plan on the nexus 7.
But that shouldn't make this impossible.
Couldn't there be a way I can sync my text messages some way or another. I know there is countless internet texting services that are completely free. Couldn't I forward my mobile texts to one so I can respond on the 7? Even if it took another number that's fine. I could just use a text app but I haven't found one that can forward my texts from my mobile.
Maybe I could figure out a way to use a combo of features. Maybe send the push notifications to my nexus 7 from the 5 but have it allow me to respond.
Heck maybe even if I could finally get a VNC server working on my nexus 5 that would be prefect too as I could just jump to it to respond and go back to nexus 7ing.
I don't know I'm at a loss so I figured id ask the collective intelligence to maybe help spark some ideas.
Or yet maybe someone's done this before with other devices.
Just thought I'd throw it out there, as I'm sure others would appreciate being able to do this at times too.
Thanks for your time guys.

Tapatalk will do what you want. Your N5 and N7 stay in sync over BT or Wi-Fi and is what I use. Funny enough sometimes the text shows up on the N7 first for whatever reason. Nice app.

I've been looking into this app as well. Do you have to use Mighty Text as your primary SMS app on your phone for this to work with your N7? Or would I be able to use this with Hangouts (since that's what I use for my SMS and MMS messages) on my phone?
^Pretty sure you can use whatever you want. I never used hangouts just the aosp message app.
The one you install on your phone isn't even an sms app it just links to the tablet app through your google account.
Try it out.

It works perfectly for me. I download the .apk from the whatsapp website though since i have the Wifi only version.
Don't think I get you right but in terms of using Whats app on the nexus 7 you have to match sertain things:
- use a number which is not connected to a whats app account. (since you can only use one handset per number)
Therefore you can use your home number
- download whatsapp from their site over here: http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
- install it and use phone activation
- Whatsapp will call the number you have provided them
- answer the phone and enter the number you get
- now its done
Then of course you only get the messages which are send to the new number. To workaround this problem I made groups for all of my contacts with which I often write. In this group there is my Tablet and my phone and my Pc :laugh: and the other contact of course. So you get the notification on all your devices.
The dark side of this solution is that you have to pay 3 times for (more or less) "the same account" and that you get the notifications on all your devices.
I know the last point is also a positive one but you must realise that you have to read (or at least open) the received message on all your devices.
But I am perfectly fine with that.
I hope this was what you are looking for and I have helped you.
What am I saying? I need notification badges on my WhatsApp icon on the home screen. Does any app do this?
