Question Can't restore Whatsapp backup - Google Pixel 6 Pro

It has restored the messages but will not restore the data (pics and videos) from a Gdrive backup.
So, it finds the backup and grabs all the chats but stops when downloading the media.
Has anyone managed this?

Yeah mine restored perfectly fine 733MB restored all back.
I didn't do anything special, opened the app, put in my mobile number, the it said backup found and restored it with all options, was on stable wifi at the time

I'm having the same issue on my six pro. WhatsApp backed up chats instantly but media has been stuck at 0 percent for 3 days

Full WhatsApp backup media restore worked perfectly first time and then a second.

I had the same problem. But was able to fix it by force stopping Whatsapp, delete the WhatsApp media folder, then start Whatsapp again.

I was using the WhatsApp beta. I did have the same problem as you (and I had no notification sound).
After I left the beta program and installed the stable WhatsApp I could restore the data with the new Pixel 6 Pro.

[Q] SMS/MMS acting strange

Hi,
after freezing and deinstalling a few apps my SMS/MMS app comes up, briefly shows my SMSes and then just dies silently. Handcent works fine. Are there any dependencies for SMS/MMS to work? What package would do a reinstall of this app?
thanks _Hans
I had the same issue. Didn't get solved until I installed another rom. I don't remember what exactly I deleted as far as apps go either.

[Q] Apps not restoring after factory reset.

Anyone know how to solve this? Sent my phone to HTC to get repaired. Got it back, logged into gmail iva the phone and only one of my apps is being restored. Only "mybackup" comes up as restored. Nothing else is showing.
I have my apps backed up on mybackup as well as my data but why isn't gmail doing it?
If i restore apps via "mybackup" then they do not show up in the market so i don't want to do it that way. Is there anything else i can do? I logged into the android market via my laptop and it had a list of about 15 of the apps i had but not even close to all of them.
Any advice appreciated. I thought this would be a simple process but evidently it doesn't seem like it.
Edit: Just been back to the a android website via my laptop and none of my apps are listed there anymore. Only the one that restored itself and the stock apps... Great. So i'm screwed now i take it?
I'm not sure about reinstalling from market. As far as I remember it didn't worked well for me either. If you have rooted phone you can use Titanium backup which will backup not only apps but the data too. So, if you set high score in a game or you set up some app to your preferances you will have them all back.
To backup up only apps for later reinstalling I use Astro file manager : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.metago.astro. With Astro you can backup all your apps for later installing after performing factory reset.
I already backed my apps using Astro and mybackup, however im pissed off that googles own inbuilt system won't restore my apps despite suggesting that it would. Plus anything i restore with Astro and mybackup will not show up in the market. Haven't got a choice now i guess.
They also ruined my contacts backup as well while we are at it. I saved my contacts to gmail a few weeks back, came back today and none of them are my contacts, they are however, half of the people i follow on twitter. Neither gmail or twitter are linked to each other so how the hell did gmail manage to get into my twitter account and then replace my saved contacts list with people i follow on twitter. What farce this all is.
I have that backed up in 2/3 places thankfully but what kind of service is this from google? Its worked fine in the past but the one time i need it, everything goes wrong.

Push notifications stop on Facebook app after switching ROMs

I'm having a problem restoring my push notifications on the Facebook app when I switch between ROMs on my GS3.
I have Paranoid Android installed now, and I previously had the latest AOKP build. I backed up the AOKP build via the recovery, then flashed PA, restored apps from Titanium, and here I am. But.. no Facebook notifications! I tried logging out and back into the FB app to "reregister" the device with the Google Cloud Messaging service or whatever, in order to hopefully restore the notifications, but no dice! I also disabled and re-enabled notifications within the FB app.
Strange thing is if I restore my AOKP backup, then I get flooded with all of the old notifications from FB!
Other apps seem to work fine for push notifications -- Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Voice, even Facebook Messenger. It's just the app itself doesn't seem to like to notify me unless I go back to AOKP.
Anybody experience anything like this?
It's happened to me before, did you dirty flash? I went from one rom to another without a factory reset by accident, usually do it. But most everything worked fine except for the facebook app messages so I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook app and it worked! I eventually did factory reset my device though just incase there were other issues I hadn't yet come across.
Silly me... I just uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and that did the trick! I assumed logging out and back in was as good as uninstalling and reinstalling, but I guess not!
I did do a clean flash initially, with wiping everything.
Thanks for the idea!:good:

Messages not showing up in stock app

I'm trying to backup my texts, but the app only sees my texts from the last few hours. Textra sees all my texts, but the stock Messages app only sees the same texts that the backup apps show (I've tried quite a few). I tried clearing cache (both phone and Messages app). I'm running a Marshmallow ROM, and it (like all the others) has the traditional "erase user data when phone unexpectedly dies" issue. But in this case, the phone died but kept all my data. Except that when it died, the timing corresponds with the timing of what texts are visible in the default Messages app (and what gets backed up).
Is there any way to make the default Messages app see all my texts again so I can back them up?

Whatsapp Microphone Bug In Pixel Experience

I have been using Pixel Experience PixelExperience_ginkgo-10.0-20201223-1313-OFFICIAL.zip for about 2 weeks now. But i am still facing one problem. Everytime im receiving Whatsapp Calls, my phone start lagging, hanging, and eventually crashed. Also happened when i try to record voice note.
I tried:
- Rebooting the phone
- Revoking whatsapp microphone permission and allow it again
Do you know what's the problem? I tried to not uninstall the app or doing factory reset because that will delete all my whatsapp chats. I do have backup on Gdrive but that will cost both my time and my limited internet usage.
Thanks to you all who tried to help me.
EDIT1: This problem only occurs in Whatsapp. I Tried to phone call on telegram, video call on gmeet, and etc, everthing works fine.
