Whatsapp requires system update?? - Amazon Fire Phone

I'm unable to start whatsapp on my phone, it asks for a system update. There's an update available for the app as shown attached with new permission requirements.
See attachments for more information.
I'm on 3.6.6 in the UK.

If updating the system is not an option for you, I would try doing an update though the Google Play Store. (Assuming you have it on your phone)

It's not possible to get the google play store to work on the Fire Phone on 3.6.6 unfortunately.
I'll see if I can do it through 1mobile. Thanks for the suggestion!

Don't trust 1mobile!! I downloaded the BBM apk and had it scanned with the NVISO APK scanner and it showed it as suspicious. It detected 1mobile entries within its code.

It worked through 1mobile, updated fine and now works fine too.
I've not had any issues with 1mobile to be honest, I always make sure it's from the play store

Scrap that, it's wanting to update again and saying a system update is required ?

tried these?
Can't you just update to 3.6.8 and install the play store...or download what's app from the website, it updates without the need for a play store

Maybe downgrade is possible at 3.6.6 (somebody else downgrade to 3.6.2 without problems)
If thats possible you maybe can root your phone with downgrade to 3.5, too! With root you're able to install google services etc properly.

The app, even the latest version from google play doesn't work ? it won't even let me start it. I can't upgrade to 3.6.8 as that bin is not available, and a downgrade won't be possible because it's a UK device and not US. It launched here with 3.6.2.
That was me btw that managed the downgrade ?
I can only wait to see what happens. Something needs to be done by whatsapp or Amazon, other people have complained about it too on the Appstore. It might suggest an update is imminent?

Ok, i dont know
I have a German device (tmobile) and know I use 3.5 at&t without problems
You can use other carrier firmwares without problems!

Oh I didn't think this was possible? That's fantastic, I'd rather use 3.6.8 though

Is there a tutorial for 3.6.6 ger to 3.5 with root ?
Sent from my SD4930UR using XDA Free mobile app

i'm on 3.6.8 and the same issue happened to me with whatsapp, for the heck of it, i've even mayday with amazon tech support to try resolving the update loop. They were not able to resolve it but mentioned that they will write to the dev. I have downloaded whatapps from google playstore instead and it worked for me.

[Q] XDA android app is not foun in market anymore

XDA android app is not found in market anymore. From market I am notified that there is an update for XDA-Developers but when I go into its market page I get not found. Can someone confirm that problem?
I use SGS I9000 (PDA I9000XWJs5, PHONE I9000XXJPY, CSC I9000XENJS3). Thanks!
PS: Paid version is visible on market
I can only find the paid version now and the last update pretty much ruined the free version for me so I restored an older version.

Also I find (since the upgrade, still on free version) that when now clicking on threads I've participated in, that it goes to the 1st and not the last or previous page I'd viewed before.
Don't know if that's meant to encourage us subliminally to get the paid version
Think I'll just see if I can rollback on the udpate.

Couple questions.....does Play store say it can be updated? If so, what does it say when it fails? Have you tried uninstalling the app and then re-installing the new version?
I checked and have the newest version on my tablet already so must have updated automatically without issue.
Random ideas out of my hind quarters: clear app data on samsung account stuff; remove/re-add samsung account; search forum; reset device if nothing works.

Virgin TV Anywhere

Could anyone still running 4.3 on Nexus 7 or 10 or has another compatible tablet who has installed this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...dia.tvanywhere
please extract the apk and share it on here.
I have managed to sideload it and it works on 4.4 but I can only seem to get hold of phone version online which is stuck in portrait mode. The page says the version varies with device so there must be a tablet version which should install on a compatible device.
Thanks in advance.

You can't use this app if your device is "Modified"(Rooted).
Tried it on my S3 on 4.3
It allowed me to access my Tivo stuff but wont let you watch live TV.

There's an Xposed module that lets you hide root from individual apps.

IT WORKS on KIT KAT, thanks for the attachment and hard work. You've done a superb job.
On my HTC one, as I've installed a custom Rom I had to edit the build prop to make it the correct htc Europe model etc...
I built it with lucky patcher.
I used lucky patcher to install as well as it helped to remove the old version firstly and start a fresh.
I had to block root access as the app requested permission too.

Lucky Patcher won't let me remove the old version. I get 'restoration failed'. Strange thing is using the Android UI settings I cannot find TV Anywhere. Doesn't seem to be installed. Any ideas please? :silly:
Clear cache... of it's still being stubborn.. I believe the app stores itself in mnt/asec mnt RW and delete tva folder.

Thanks for your reply. I've been trawling through Root Explorer but cannot find anything TV Anywhere related. I'll probably just do a factory reset as I like to do this periodically anyway.

I'm just looking for some feedback on what the Virgin TV Anywhere app is like on an OUYA. It is easy to navigate using the OUYA controller? Are the programmes all displayed fullscreen? Are On Demand and Netflix and Youtube channels also available?
I ask because at the mo I only have the HD+ Virgin box. To use this app on an Android device you need a Tivo. This means having to pay an extra £5 a month, but more significantly, take out a new contract to get a Virgin Tivo box. So I want to be sure the app is any good before I splash the cash and signup.
Cheers
The app allows u to stream a select few channels live... You can't watch on demand or content in my shows. But you can remotely manage your recordings... IMHO... Not worth upgrading as you can use rcx for remote and other free TV streaming apps... I'll make a list of channels Virgin streams...

[Q] Virgin Media TV Anywhere (UK)

Hi,
I have just installed the Virgin Media TV Anywhere App on my rooted N2, it states you can't stream media on rooted devices does anyone know how I could possibly by pass this?
thanks
Yep. Unroot your phone.
I would say your best bet is to search the forum for s thread regarding the sky go app.
In there there's lots of suggestions on how to circumnavigate this non rooted phone requirement.
Hope you succeed

Do you mind uploading the app or giving a download link I can't find the app anywhere. I'm sure there will be an xposed module that will bypass the root check

Virgin's TV Anywhere app is at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.virginmedia.tvanywhere
I would like a version that lets me run it on a rooted device too. I don't plan to lose essential functionality such as ClockworkMod backups just for the sake of watching Virgin TV (TV Catchup does most of what I want anyway) but it'd be nice to have the option.
Andre
I'm the same would like to have the functionality of virgin TV anywhere but not at the expense of non rooted. The TV remote bit works nicely but not that bothered about that. It feels like virgin half assed this app doesnt work on KitKat either but the remote part does???
Hope someone can solve this cheers guys
If its anything like Sky Go its not going to be easy
Any solutions found to this? Have tried uninstalling SuperSU and re-installing the Virgin app but it seems to remember my device is rooted and blank out the Watch button. How would I go about clearing all memory of the Virgin app?
Thanks!
i found a way to do it! method is easy... it is working... pm for details... that is confirmed streaming channels using tv anywhere on rooted device...

Just to confirm, this works with Xposed framework & Root Cloak now. Just remember to remove it from SuperUser app permissions if you inadvertently clicked OK whilst tinkering.
Still not working on KitKat phones it seems

Once you've installed what you need to, try clearing the Virgin app's data, and then your phone's Data Chache and Dalvik, and see if that helps.

Will the app install? I've got one for you, see if you can get the walmart app to install (and work on your phone). There are several others I've managed to install, but they won't run or just go to a blank screen. Other examples I've installed but they don't seem to run are Dominos app (love ordering pizza) and Flipp (the most awesome weekly sales flyer app).
Thanks I'll try the 1mobile, error I usually get is like not compatible with your device.
