WhatsApp Initializing issue

Hi,
I just updated to Jelly Bean 4.2, everything is running fine but my WhatsApp.
It keeps on "Initializing" forever. If i wait til it's over, a message will appear:
Failure
Sorry, WhatsApp was unable to complete initialization. Please check that you are connected to the internet and try again.
Please reboot your phone if your connection problem persists
I've uninstalled, reinstalled via google play or downloading the apk from their website/clear data/force close, tried with wifi, 3g and can't get anything different.
I keep receiving messages/notifications but i can't get into the app.
Anyone going through the same issue?
*(i'm all stock, rooted and unlocked. Viber is working fin, but i don't think all this will make any difference)

Whatsapp had in the recent time a lot of problems. Wait some time and try again. You did everything that I would told you to do(like wipe app data, reinstall etc.)

Myn is also not working same problem

thanks for the reply, guys
It's working now after several tries...
I don't know if there's something to do with it, but while my whatsapp was on "initalizing", a received a phone call. When i hang up shortly after, WhatsApp was already at the contacts screen.

Edit:
Installing and downloading the whatsapp.apk directly from whatsapp homepage seems to work.
Same, stuck for over 10 hours.
Fresh 4.2 Install.
Tried everything, most definite its whatsapp server problem.
There is a work around where you install an older version, try to sync and then update.
But you cant see the contacts.

same here... is getting stuck on initializing.... I was able to sync the contacts but I'm not able to enter to the app.... I'm waiting for an update....

server issue
It's a server problem because m facing this issue on iPhone aswell.

It's working well now

Thanks ! Worked for me too : I downloaded v2.8.7268 from Whatsapp website and initialization worked. I then updated from play store.

i was having problem with cm7.1.5 so installed cm7.2...
on 1st start of whatsaap it gave me msg about having custom rom can create problem as it does not support whats app..
then also i proceeded n i was facing same problem.it was stuck on initializing.
then after lots of different tries it worked on one trick...
what i did was :
1.1st backup all my contacts(mobile).
2.then cleared data in contact storage in manage apps.
3.installed whatsapp 2.8 which was backup earlier
4.clicked "Agree and continue" then entered my mobile no. but,it told me that whatsapp new version must be installed.
5.i then upgraded whats app from play store.
6.After installation was complete i opened it and it was started from same step of application of entering mobile no.
7. i entered no. , restored data from old backup of whatssapp, all messages were restored.
now my Display Picture , Name got appeared.
8.clicked next, shortcut of whatsapp was created. in 1 sec it got initialized, n continue button got appeared.
9. now i was having messages but no contacts(whatsapp).
10. now i restored contacts(mobile) from softwere i was using. and now after opening whatsapp m having contacts.
It worked on my phone... try it... best of luck...

[solution] "There was a problem communicating with google servers."

I recently removed knox and rooted my phone following the guide. Worked great... I got into my phone with CM10, except for a constant "There was a problem communicating with google servers. Try again later." error message. I thought it was a bad wipe, so I rewiped and reflashed the ROM. No joy. I did a full factory reset from the menu. No joy.
Searching on Google and XDA yielded a lot of messages about the Google servers going down a few years ago. Obviously this wasn't the case. Finally, I found something that worked:
Disabled 2-step Authentication (mostly to make it easier on myself)
Removed the account
Cleared the data on the "Google Account Manager"
Readded said account
This worked for me. I'm on CM10.2.1-dspr (stable).

It worked! I reflashed rom and did a lot of things but removing the 2-step verification worked! I love you man! Thx.

don't have 2-step Authentication enabled on my google account...

I did that on my m8 and could login but now I still have an error. When I open the store I get "check out connection and try again". If I click help it crashes. And If I search for an app it finds nothing : (
any idea?

try clearing the data on all your google apps

There is only one solution which worked for me: install Google Play Services.

Awesome! Fixed this stubborn issue with the APK, thanks

Google play services

papergarden invalid token 1001

I flashed a custom rom here and im getting a 1001 token error. Is there some other samsung service or something i may have deleted or froze that papergarden needs to run. My samsung account is fine and everything else is running great. I have cleared data and even reinstalled the apk with the same result.

T700 rom by EMSpilot

Ah I see. This happens when you have a debloated and deodexed rom. So that means some stock apps like papergarden do not work. I had this same problem with kids mode when I was running thunderom since its almost the same as emspilots rom. I would ask the developer to try and fix that or go back to stock rooted rom. Hope this helps!

I have a stock rooted 10.5 T-800 and I'm receiving the same invalid token error(1001). I have no idea how to go about fixing this.

I ended up flashing the stock tar and now my Papergarden is working.

Probaly people need to update their firmware to fix this problem. Guess that the fix

I have the latest firmware. All I've done is rooted and I'm getting this error.

Problem solved

[Guide] Install official ROM and Google Playstore

Hello,
I found a tutorial on how to install the google playstore on the Nubia Z17. It's to long to repeat it here. Anyway for me it worked. I first unlocked bootloader, then I installed the official ROM V2.44 and Open Gapps. After that playstore works until you reboot. To get it working there is a small workaround that takes only 1-2 Minutes and includes activating the airplane mode. Unfortunatly you have to do it every time you reboot your device. The good news is that the Google Playstore finally works. You can find the tutorial here:
https://www.china-phone.net/nubia-z17-playstore.html
Hope this helps other Nubia Z17 Users too

My phone is working normal.
1. Reinstall the original ROM 2.44
2. Unlock bootloader and install TWRP
3. Root the phone
5. Install Open Gapps Arm64 7.1 Full
6. The phone restart and do the Factory Reset
7. Open Google Play and insert your Google account. It will take several minutes for Google to work.
8. Press the circle-home button to start multi task. Pull down the Google Play until you see 'lock icon'.
9. You're done
Note: when your Google stop working, just go to Flight Mode for 1-2 minute and try to authenticate again.
Always keep your Google running by lock it on multi tasking.

Some aspects of Google apps still have bugs. For me, Google Calendar doesn't work and Photos doesn't sync. For full function we'll just have to be patient (or try a custom ROM maybe)

I tried today and i found that after updating to 2.48 we should do clean install after unlock botloader, root and installing gapps. If not the google play wont be working properly.

Can I install version 2.44?I have an unofficial "ENG".
Download package 2.44 update, I put it on a pen drive and then Choose Update Package? Or should I install it through TWRP?

Hi,
Yes I'm a newbie... We have to begin one day
I just received the phone.
After the first power on (plugged) and Wifi connection, the phone automatically did two updates :
original (2.39 ?) to 2.44
2.44 to 2.48.
When I bought the phone, it was mentioned that gaps are not available at that moment (GeekBuying)
Now, they do not mention this limitation on their web site (and the price goes lower )
Is there a new "international complete official ROM ?"
Thanks
Regards

Netflix does not run on rooted global rom 10.3.5

Hello all,
I have received recently an (ebay bought) Mi Max 3 4/64.
The phone is the China version and came with a global rom.
The phone immediately at first launch updated itself to miui global 10.3.5
I rooted it via TWRP (ignoring the password prompt) using the Magix zip and all seems to be fine. (I did not install TWRP itself, just used it to flash the zip)
However I tried to use now netflix and it does not work.
First the app was not showed in the app store: I found the apk at a different source.
But when launching the APK it now consistently crashes.
I installed the "liboemcrypto" plugin in magisk - but that made no difference...
What can I try now?
Thank you for any pointers

Hello all,
I have received recently an (ebay bought) Mi Max 3 4/64.
The phone is the China version and came with a global rom.
The phone immediately at first launch updated itself to miui global 10.3.5
I rooted it via TWRP (ignoring the password prompt) using the Magix zip and all seems to be fine. (I did not install TWRP itself, just used it to flash the zip)
However I tried to use now netflix and it does not work.
First the app was not showed in the app store: I found the apk at a different source.
But when launching the APK it now consistently crashes.
I installed the "liboemcrypto" plugin in magisk - but that made no difference...
What can I try now?
Thank you for any pointers

Hi, if you don't mind me asking. I have the lastest version also. 10.5. What was your exact steps to root your phone. I'm trouble rooting this phone. Thank you

It was actually quite easy (I assume your phone is unlocked, right?)
You need to download the ADB tools to your pc
Get TWRP for Mi Max 3
Copy Magisk ZIP to your Mi Max (most recent version)
Reboot Mi Max in Fastboot mode
Boot TWRP via fastboot on the phone (no need to install)
Disregard the password comment
Flash the Magisk Zip via TWRP
Reboot - you are rooted
If you need more details feel free to PM me.
PS: You may need to find a slow PC as some people (including me) have issues when using a current, faster PC with USB 3
