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

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!

This trick works also with viber... Thanks OP for sharing!
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
tried, 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.
Hi everyone,
I am not good in english but i will try my best to explain the problem i have
The fact is that last month i did the 4.1.2 maj on my note 2 but after doing it, a reccurent problem appear. Sometime, while i am sending a message, the message didn't send and when i try to return to the conversation list, it is empty with only a picture of a letter, telling me that i have no message, and choose "+" to create new one...
This problem often happened and the only choice i had was to reboot the smartphone...
After a time, i try to return on 4.1.1, makes a reset factory and all.
The problem seems to be resolved but this morning it happen again...
I don't use Handcent of Chomp, or GOsms.
But i tried and when the problem happen, Handcent sms can't send any messages too. ...
I am desesperate... how could this happen for a thing that cost 600€ and for the most simple thing that sending message... ?
Thank you for the help
Hi,
today i got the problem again.
I made a screenshot in order to show you
OP,
Unfortunately as this is not a Sprint model it would be difficult to help.
I will ask the mods to help get this to the right section.

I have the same problem and I dont know how to fix it.
I am glad that i am not the only having this problem
I asked on another forum and they told me if I did't activate the mode which delete message when you reach the limit.
So I desactivated it and the problem seem to be resolve.
But after 1 month the issue appared again even if i made a full wipe and installed the rom Omega.
I have the same problem on both stock and omega.
Only fix I have at the moment is rebooting

It be possible that there is no solution...
Did you activate the message auto deleting?
Are you people rooted ?
If yes then make sure that in suspersu settings trust system apps is checked. It looks like messaging app sometimes use su. Strange.
It popped up once in my suspersu logs.

Hi guys! i'm facing a problem everytime i flash a 4.2.2 ROM..
when i try to import contacts from sim to phone it says that there are no contacts on the sim card (data, everything else working fine..)
i've searched around forums, google, etc.. can't find a solution.
Maybe i have just asked something very stupid or already said somewhere and then i say sorry for that, but i really can't get out from this!

From SIM?! Transfer your contacts to your Gmail and no need to worry anymore. It's much better,as you can lose your phone/SIM along with contacts. But with contacts on your Gmail all you need is just log in to your Gmail from your phone and all contacts are ready to use with any Android phone...

Hi,
Has anyone ever had any trouble with not receiving text messages? They send fine and I have tried the sim card in another phone and I have received them then so it makes me believe it is something to do with the actual P8000.
Thanks.
Which rom & kernel are you using? Did you try downloading an alternative messaging app from Play Store? There are some good ones out there, and also freeware

Hey I am from India and here something called as Msg centre which is a number and can be configured in the settings from the default messaging app. After a dirty flash I too faced the same problem as I was aware about it. Check your settings and if the message centre is blank, then you need to google your service centre number or contact your service provider for more help.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards

I done a factory reset and this fixed the problem. Something must have changed along the way but I can't pin point it. All working now but had the inconvenience of a full wipe

Hey I came back with good news!
I've just figured it out with some help from a friend of mine
First you need to go in there: id.realme.com
Then register your phone number (It's weird that actually you can't do that with the phone itself)
Then register your email address
After that you good to go
Just enter your email and pass in phone
Up in settings there is a pop-up.
Cheers!
