[ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla [UPDATED 29-03-2016]

[nodevel]

I don't use Whatsup, but seeing how another app is going the "non-native UI" way, please have a look at these two apps:

Friends
Quickddit

Both have many more options than is needed for Whatsup, yet they both have an elegant and native solution.

On a related note, I know of two apps that had gone the same way as Whatsup (Sailimgur and the IRC client) and both are pretty much unusable for myself (not even talking about the aesthetics) and it is also absolutely unnecessary in both cases. If I didn't mind apps with non-standard UI controls, I wouldn't see why I couldn't choose an Android app in the first place.

It's just my opinion. I hope that more developers will look into native ways while searching for the solution to the 'too many options' problem. The combination of pulley menus and most importantly attached pages is crucial.

[kibet85]

cepi...a feature request,on the notifications...add an option to select all...when one wants to delete all notifications at one go...

[itdoesntmatt]

its already possible to cancel all notificaztion with pull down menu but i be'ieve you want to delete only all whatsup ones, dont you?

[kibet85]

yes...jus whatsup notifications in the app itself...

[HtheB]

When I try to download Beta3 I get error 404 from dropbox. Are the files down intentionally or can you please fix it, CepiPerez?

Can't wait to try it out! :D

New version will be out on OpenRepos very soon :)

[Mikkosssss]

I hope really soon as my whatsup just broke. :(

Edit: Okay reboot always fixes everything. I even killed whatsup and tried start many times but didint help. Anyways happy to see new smooth ui soon.

[Thaodan]

Fastscrool is system feature, it doesnt require developer implementation. In my application i have none of this problems, using latest unreleased sailfishos also.
CepiPerez, i can tell you what problem with your code if you describe it.

Which version is the update that cepi mentiored, is there an nda for this?

I thought its an application feature as I read the qml code of the messenger app.

Cepi do you have an idea whats the reason the voice message bug?

[itdoesntmatt]

what voice message bug? have you got a nexus 5?

[joshinho]

New version will be out on OpenRepos very soon :)

Great news! :)

[Thaodan]

what voice message bug? have you got a nexus 5?

That sometimes the voice note of the last person you made a voice message for the voice message of the person before gets.

[itdoesntmatt]

sorry i cant understand ,could you rephrase ?

[Thaodan]

When you send a voice message to person x and send a voice message to person y afterwards there's a chance that person y gets the message from person x.

EDIT: still happens, I think sending two voice message too the same person before sending one to an other triggers the bug.

[Boxeri]

Do others sometimes get a blank screen when clicking message notification? I am getting this behavior more and more. Killing and restarting whatsup always helps.

After getting the blank screen nothing else than restarting the application seems to help.

CepiPerez is aware of this bug, he is still investigating why this is happening

[CepiPerez]

I'm aware but I can't reproduce.
Can you tell me when does it happens?
Did you swipe down?
Is another chat opened when this happened?

[Boxeri]

Reproducing it is difficult. It does not happen everytime.

Last time it happened I had no other apps running, phone had been idle. I receive message and swipe up to get to notifications. I click whatsup notification and it shows only the glass effect background, nothing else. However, whatsup is loaded since I can long press on the screen and get input and also can awake the drop down menu from top and bottom. Noticed this because I once managed to delete conversation history...

After this happens there seems no other way out of it than restarting whatsup. You can swipe it down and click whatsup open again, bit you still get to same screen.

Could there bee something in the logs?

[Thaodan]

I'm aware but I can't reproduce.

Do you got any success on the voice message bug? its a bit awkward to tell people a voice message wasn't for them.

[Thaodan]

since the new preview update the notification icon is wrong.

[carepack]

since the new preview update the notification icon is wrong.

edit: new sailfish version

[HtheB]

Thats a Sailfish OS problem.

[coderus]

Thats a Sailfish OS problem.

I have no any notification icon problems with mitakuuluu, so i don't think so ;)

[caprico]

Great update. I like the UI a lot! Everything is well-arraged and the app is a joy to use :-) The extended-settings sidemenu makes sense to me and I prefer it over long pulley menus. Pulley menus are still used where it makes sense (options in conversations).

Thank you guys, this is a fantastic & beautiful piece of software, I'll donate soon =)

where is an updated version?

edit:
was irritated because of the version number which is still 0.1-4 like last released version. In the app itself is 0.1-5. So it's clear now

[caprico]

where is an updated version?

First page, Dropbox link :)

[Saurus]

0.1-4 is still the newest version?

[cvp]

i try today the 0.1-4, looks very nice!, but the app disconnect ofthen. i think i go back to 0.1-3 and wait for a new version.

[CepiPerez]

I have no any notification icon problems with mitakuuluu, so i don't think so ;)
Notification picture is missing. Using default icon works but it doesn't show profile pictures anymore

[mdosch]

I have a bug when writing a long message.

- Send on enter is not active (I like the possibility to make paragraphs)
- Write a long message
- After a certain length the message is displayed over the send button
- If trying to press the send button the cursor is placed in the messages part which is displayed over send button

Workaround:
- Go to settings and activate send on enter (messages didn't get lost when I had this behaviour and left the conversation window).
- Go back in conversation and send by button on keyboard


Happend in 0.1-4, didn't checked if it also happens in earlier versions.

[phillow]

Same here.

updated first post

[itdoesntmatt]

just tryed o.15. i like the reorganizing of menu, and i think it recall the button on stock browser. A suggestion : if you want to make it more sailfish like, why don't put that menu swiping left? after contact and conversation it could be settings menu! similar to mitakuluu as concept but more beautiful as menu.

[foufoutos]

lock the phone and dc 70% of the times 0.1-5

I have a question for @Cepi .In the harmattan version i remember that we had an option to sync photos of contacts in whatsup into the contacts every where and not only whatsup.Is that possible in sailfish as well?

[CepiPerez]

Sailfish version sync pictures when you sync contacts.
Anyways, this is not need since whatsup sycns all contacts, including not in phone book ones. It's for prevent a possible ban from whatsapp.

[baboo]

okay i guess you didn't get me right.what i meant is that the avatars of the contacts will be the same as those profile photos of whatsapp contacts,and updated as people update theirs on sync.i did not mean sync contacts individually.For example i remember that for each contact there was an option from whatsup to put that same displayed photo in phone book of phone(contacts app).i dont know if this is related to the syncing of all contacts and banning though

ps: that was on the old versions before you restarted development again

[kibet85]

hi,...all of a sudden ,whatsup crashed and when i try to re register,i get registration error,server response was bad param,

[snowman74]

Guys anybody has found a good way to hear the voice notes I installed several libs without any success.

[itdoesntmatt]

install ultimate code from openrepos~

[SKyd3R]

Sometimes I'm not able to access to whatsup from a notification. This really break the app, I have to close it by killing the process.

Is there any solution?


Thanks for all the work done in the project.

I had similar issue. Application just does not show anything when it get stuck. It seems like this is something to do with screen orientation. With fixed portrait mode I haven't be able to reproduce issue.

[explit]

Thank Cepi for 0.1-7 in the OpenRepos. 1 small bug: The About Page still show 0-1.5

[Thaodan]

would be nice there was a changelog.

[DrYak]

Thanks, it works great!

I missed WhatsApp since mojoWhatsup stoped working on my WebOS.

Questions:

- Where are the data of Whatsup stored ?
I would like to transfer my old message from mojoWhatsup's sqlite3 .db file to whatever Whatsup uses.

- Where is the source published ?
Obviously not on GitHub any more given the tendency of WhatsApp to whack DMCAs on anyone publishing interoperable code...

[emgaron]

Anyways, this is not need since whatsup sycns all contacts, including not in phone book ones. It's for prevent a possible ban from whatsapp.

Does that mean that in whatsup I have no control over which contacts I make accessible to WhatsApp just like in their official app? :( Pity - that would be such a killer feature IMO.

Can someone explain how to switch from android whatsapp client without troubles ?
And is it possible to import db (chats, groups etc..) from android whatsapp client ?
Thanks

[DrYak]

- Where are the data of Whatsup stored ?
I would like to transfer my old message from mojoWhatsup's sqlite3 .db file to whatever Whatsup uses.

And is it possible to import db (chats, groups etc..) from android whatsapp client ?

Okay, I noticed (lsof) that whatup stores its messages inside "~/.whatsup/{phonenumber}.db".
But I'll need to make sense of the schema
CREATE TABLE messages (timestamp integer, status integer, content text, key text,type integer, media_id integer, media text, conversation_jid text, author text, delivered text,readed text, count integet, comment text);
before I can write an importer.

I'll probably need some (read-) access to the source.

@Cepi, where can I find your source, please ?
I need to understand the format/content of these columns.

I'd like to write an importer, at least for my self and mojoWhatup, and maybe a starting point for official WhatsApp.

[djcrash1981]

Hi All,

Cepi once again great, great job I missed your app, It works great on the Nexus 5.

[Schturman]

Doesn't matter, already installed and started to use without starting of Android whatsapp..
Thanks Cepi! Work very good.
A little question, can you add additional window to the "forward" option? For now it show two windows (contacts and groups), maybe you can add also the conversations window, it will take less time to find the needed contact.
Thanks.

[Mikkosssss]

"Groups" window is conversations. :p

[Schturman]

"Groups" window is conversations. :p
No... this window show only groups, I mean window like "conversations" where you can see active groups and contacts that you already spoke with them. Same functionality like in android whatsapp.

[HtheB]

No... this window show only groups, I mean window like "conversations" where you can see active groups and contacts that you already spoke with them. Same functionality like in android whatsapp.

What do you mean?
The conversations list already shows all chats.... :confused:

[Schturman]

What do you mean?
The conversations list already shows all chats.... :confused:
Ok.. I will try to explain again...
Go to chat with one of your contacts -> long press on the one of messages -> choose "forward" -> choose "Share with:" -> and here you will see two windows:
1. Contacts list
2. Groups

I mean adding window #3 "Conversations" where you can see all ACTIVE chats and groups instead to search specific contact in window #1 especially if your contacts list is long.
This way work android forward option and I think it very convenient ;)

[Yeum]

So, I just installed this. Nice to have a native client, but a few caveats:

1) Is it possible to archive conversations/chats? (eg. remove from the active conversation list without deleting them completely)

2)Any line breaks (enter) i put into my messages are not transmitted for some reason. Is this a bug, or a "feature?"
(Edit: Ok, noticed this only happens when I try to circumvent the below issue and have "send on enter" turned on. If it's off and you send by pressing the send button, line breaks are included in the message, as they should).

3)Likewise, if I have "send on enter" turned off, and write a really long message, the "send message" button gets scrolled past the top of the screen, and thus I can't send the message at all (without going into settings and turning on "send message on enter") due to the send button being off-screen on the GUI.

...And If I try to circumvent that problem & click on the message window to turn off the keyboard & be able to scroll the message list, the "send" button frustratingly changes into the microphone button... :D

And lastly, something less critical, It would be nice if there'd be an option to chose the size of inline-displayed image thumbnails (eg. small-medium-arge). Coming from the default android client, the current one feels a bit small in comparsion - you always have to separately open images in order to make out anything of them.

[droll]

btw, does anyone notice that when you start typing and switching chat windows quite a bit, Whatsup seems to slow to a pause?

[Schturman]

it's only me or it's known issue ? I can't send video that I did from stock camera. When app opens list of available videos, I can't see my videos.. I see only videos that I got from other people in whatsapp...

[phillow]

Working here.

[Schturman]

Working here.
very strange... for me it not show just now recorded video.
Alredy tried to quit and start whatsup again, but still can't see recorded video.

[rooster13]

I can't also send video taken with Jolla camera.

[willi6868]

I am not sure but if I remember it correct cepi already told several times that you are unable to send videos bigger than 40Mb with Whats**p protocol.

[phillow]

That must be the reason. Small videos are shown in the app, bigger not.

[Schturman]

I am not sure but if I remember it correct cepi already told several times that you are unable to send videos bigger than 40Mb with Whats**p protocol.
Ahhh ok... It should be on the first post ;)
Now I did a small test. Recorded small video (15mb). Now whatsup can recognize this and add this. But it can't send it... It show me "Sending" and when it finish, message show me "Retry"... This on my home network (wifi). On 3g when I press on "Retry" it just show me "Queued" and don't do nothing... :(

[Schturman]

Ok, I did some tests..
1. app CAN'T see more than 15mb.
2. like I said before even 15mb recorded with stock camera, whatsup app is didn't sent. Don't know why...
3. Found a way (it's ugly way) how to send. I downloaded MediaConverter and codec for this app from Google play. And converted recorded video to 3gp format. From 46mb I got 11mb and whatsup sent this video without any problem.

[HtheB]

That is what I always do with videos :)

By the way, the same MB limits are also on Harmattan version as well

[Schturman]

Sad... Maybe we should offer developers to add new option in the camera setting for changing recording format ? (mp4,avi, 3gp...)

P.S. Vote on TJC: https://together.jolla.com/question/96857/request-additional-recording-format-in-the-camera-app/

[Schturman]

I have another question. Why whatsapp app automatically take the online nickname instead real name of contact?
For example I linked facebook contact to the real contact in the phone and him facebook name appears under "nickname". Now when whatsapp sync my contacts, it automatically take this facebook name instead real name and you can't change it..

P.S. also it have a little problem with right-to-left languages... see pic (text and emoji is mixed).

[Schturman]

Noticed about another little problem.. Sometimes whatsup is closed from background process. And when I start app again I get many messages that my friends sent to me when whatsup was completely closed :/

[TMavica]

do u think it is caused memory killer? Jolla got this feature if low memory

[Schturman]

do u think it is caused memory killer? Jolla got this feature if low memory
Yep, maybe... but whatsup can continue to work without opened cover/ui on homescreen. It happened to me many times when killer is killed whatsup, but it still work in background and I can receive messages.
And in this case it completely closed and I don't know if by memory killer or not...

[baboo]

this always happens with me when im low in memory

[vistaus]

I have that too sometimes. But I don't think it's due to being low on memory 'cause I hardly open any other apps than Whatsup :/

[Schturman]

It's only me or gallery window for choosing images/videos is taking ages to be opened? (with notification "Whatsup is not responding")

[vistaus]

It's only me or gallery window for choosing images/videos is taking ages to be opened? (with notification "Whatsup is not responding")

No problem over here.

[Schturman]

No problem over here.
any suggestions what I can do to fix this lagg?

[CepiPerez]

@Schturman:
Video size limit is 16MB, but maybe server rejects some videos (I can't confirm without logfiles)

Gallery works even better than meego version.
How much pictures do you have in gallery?

[Schturman]

Hi Cepi.
I tested with some vodeos (16MB+) but without result. 15MB+ work, app can see it but can't send it if video recorded with stock camera.

About lagging - I have something like 10GB pictures and 1GB videos and all of them on ext. SD card.
And I always get lagging with notification "Whatsup is not responding" when I want to send video or pic. It takes about 15-20 sec :(

[droll]

it's not just images causing lag. when I get chat messages and have to switch between chatting with different friends, whatsup also lags. and yes, I do see the "whatsup is not responding" message appear too.

it's a daily affair and it happens quite frequently. easy to reproduce on my side.

[droll]

btw, where are the messages stored? in a SQLite db (which folder / file name)?

[Edit]nvm, I found it.

[Schturman]

What new in version 0.1-8 ?

[vistaus]

It's always a joy to find out that a dev doesn't post a changelog, even if it's a compact changelog... [/sarcasm]

[MacManus]

Hi, sometimes i got problems with whatsup so that i got a blank display if i start whatsup. If i close the app now, and restart it, i still got this blank display (i think its because the daemon is still running). So i could only restart the phone.
Is there a way (via terminal) to restart or stop the whatsup daemon?

try killall whatsupor get the PID of the process with ps -ef | grep whatsup then kill the PID

thanks - great - and jep, i have installed the latest version

[peter-berlin]

At the beginning I used whatsapp and it worked, then I changed to mitakuuluu and it also worked.

I uninstalled mitakuuluu and after this I installed whatsup - now I'm banned.

After registering (whatsup) I got the whatsapp code via SMS, but I had no way to enter it somewhere. After that whatsup has tried to connect and I got the status: Error - continues to be a message: (my number) is no longer approved for our service.

I tried several things: uninstall whatsup, shutdown the phone, new installation of whatsup, but nothing helps.

I hope someone can help me and give a step-by-step instructions to solve the problem.

Thanks in advance.

your only solution is to mail support of whatsapp, but DO NOT even mention about whatsup or mitakuuluu, or else you will be banned for life :)

Don't now, maybe not.. It worked for me once when banned with mitakuuluu.

[Saurus]

Is it maybe only on me but when availablity is set to "automatic" other people in group chat can't see when I'm typing a message. Sometimes they can't see it even if availablity is set to "always online". Is it kown bug?

Note that you have to send that email straight from WhaysApp appliction. So: Install android WhatsApp. In app there is somewhere button "contact support with email". You have to press that and then write your email (where you say you have never used any unofficial whatsapp client and you are very confused). Because if you just send email from your Email app or browser, they will never answer or unban you.

When I forwarding message for example to 2-3 people, app creates broadcast list with this peoples. Message delivered to all this contact, but it not showing this message in the private chats with this contacts.
Sometimes when this persons answers me after some time, I don't understand for what this answer because can't see my message before.

Normal behavior, this is also like this in the official client. (It's to prevent getting banned)

[Schturman]

Not agree... in off client when you send message to a few people via broadcast, after this if you will open private chats with this people one by one, you will see your message...
But if you say it's to prevent getting banned, I get it..

I only have my JOLLA...

Just install K-9 Mail from F-Droid or some other android app store and setup your email account there. Android version of WhatsApp will recognize this and you are able to send e-mail with automated attachments with this method (used myself with similar situation with mitakuuluu2). Hopefully this helps you.

Thanks a lot for the great tip with the k-9. I got a mail from whatsapp with (un)usefull tips and I answered that this tips won't solve the problem. After that I received no answer...

Can anyone tell me, if there is an answer of WhatsApp for the new activation and how long it takes?

The mail that you get is just some confirmation. You need to wait for a reply now... usually takes like 4-5 days :(

Ehm... Did you write your phone number in that mail? I think it doesn't need anything else... So, just wait few days

[malerocks]

Hi Cepi,

In the other app that you have released (filecase) it is possible to directly save files downloaded from the cloud drives to the phones SD card. Can you implement something similar in whatsapp i.e. all media received gets saved to SD card if present?

[PatsJolla]

In my case it is impossible to send a message from whatsapp appliction. I got the message: "it seems that you have no email client on this device"

You need to use an android mail client. Since the app looks only for an android mail account.
I used K9 mail to contact Whatsapp when I was banned. make sure to always start the request from the whatsapp client so they can see you are really using the official client.

Edit

You need to stay persistent (hartnäckig) go on writing them through the client till they answer you. I wrote an TLC thread about how to get unblocked. You can use the same approach to get your problem fixed, maybe.
here is the link:

Is that with the latest version 0.1-9? I somehow was convinced that it is nearly impossible to detect this client as unofficial. Did you do anything special that you got caught?

[deiv]

I was convinced too!
Cepi could you explain me how whatsapp finds, and then ban, those who use unofficial applications?
How whatsup, and/or the other applications, prevents to being found?
Thank you very much!

I'm trying to keep everything updated to official s40 client, and it seems it working fine. I'm using 4 accounts (of course not all by me) and 3 of them has more than 2 years.

Maybe people migrating from android client forgot to close that client before start whatsup for first time, maybe they talk to contacts not in phonebook before sync, maybe they noticed wrong in code and I'm missing it...

[Kake41]

I have the log files but I am not willing to send them because they contain phone numbers. What's important with the logs, what can I look for?

You share your contacts with the biggest shitty company of the world, but not sending a logfile for help to the innocent awesome developer of Whatsup...???

*facepalm*

[HtheB]

Be aware guys, i got banned as well. I think that the reason was that I turned on both of my clients on (Jolla and Harmattan)

[Kake41]

Well.. Whatever...
We are busted.

Did you reboot after uninstalling Whatsup?

Isn't it possible that the Whatsup daemon was still connected in some funky state, then when you installed AWhatsapp, you made a second connection and they banned you?

[HtheB]

Did you reboot after uninstalling Whatsup?

Isn't it possible that the Whatsup daemon was still connected in some funky state, then when you installed AWhatsapp, you made a second connection and they banned you?

Neh, the reason why his connection went gone, was because he got already banned

[Schturman]

Isn't it possible that the Whatsup daemon was still connected in some funky state, then when you installed AWhatsapp, you made a second connection and they banned you?
It possible.... When I installed Whatsup, I tracked a little bit for AWhatsapp and found once it run (com.whatsapp) in the background without opened app on the homescreen... It's happened after lipstick restart or homescreen crash (red/green blinking led) don't remember now.. I immediately killed this process and not banned :) After this I just uninstalled official whatsapp to prevent banning..
But now I returned to use official whatsapp because of laggs when you want to send image... :/

[itdoesntmatt]

they simply cannot ban forever because if number have been recycled from mobile operator, the new person who bought that sim wouldnt be allowed to use the service without a valid matter

Number will be unbanned automatically after 2 months if i remember correctly.

Luckily my Samsung camera has a "3G" option, so the screenshot has an antenna indicator icon at the top, which makes it looks like a normal phone :P

Ok, i've got another reply from them:

Now how the hell did they see that the camera that I have is rooted!?!??!??!

Does the green or white background has a slightly different color when it's rooted!? (Some sort of root check??)

[strobovalo]

With this reason they can ban to someone using official whatsapp on jolla (if they want).

No rights for users, no privacy and they are the leaders on messaging applications, very sad.

No, the WhatsApp screenshot was taken on my Samsung Galaxy Camera, and yes it indeed rooted.

I just compared it with (non-rooted) Jolla. And guess what, the rooted device has a black line underneath the country code, while the non-rooted device is gray!!

That blackline is a very sneaky way to detect if the phone is rooted or not!!

Edit:
Added picture for comparison

Edit2: tmo compressed the pictures, making it harder to notice though

[DeadHorseRiding]

... got another reply...
(??)
Great customer service by WA Never have seen that by telegram.
Telegram do not waste time with communication to customers.
But .... there is no need to use a (special) smartphone at all. Receive SMS on very old cellphone is enough to register new device/yet another client.

[malerocks]

Have there been any further incidents of blocking? I must admit that after hearing about the ones that happened here I disconnected whatsup and downloaded the android app to prevent a ban myself.

I do prefer native apps and would love to go back to whatsup. Is Cepi planning any more updates for it?

[phillow]

I am still using it everyday and haven't been banned yet.

[Mikkosssss]

That blackline is a very sneaky way to detect if the phone is rooted or not!!

You sure its not just android version that makes it different color?

[HtheB]

I'm unbanned now.

I will do some more tests with a couple prepaid simcards that I have over here, so maybe i can figure out what the reason might be why we are getting banned.

Hi Cepi

I reinstalled Whatsup due to a problem I thought it caused (it was not its fault after all) and forgot to save the database. I guess the uninstall scripts doesn' t save it anywhere?

I checked the .whatsup, but only found the current database there... The old is gone for good?

[droll]

btw, is cepi still actively developing this? :)

[CepiPerez]

Yes, but nothing to change lately.
I'll make some stupid changes this weekend to check memory usage.

[TMavica]

I have a suggestion if you can consider implementing. Have an option to always save media to SD card. You have done it in filecase where the default download location from a cloud drive can be a SD card.

[itdoesntmatt]

hey cepi, whatsup on nexus 5 seems not to work cause it use .ogg file wich arent supported. can you make an alternative implementing .aac file (supported on nexus 5 ,confirmed by some guys working on codec in general). or is too much difficoult to do? thanks

Thanks for your kind words ^^

[itdoesntmatt]

i tryed to contact cepi, but nothing... however i think the problem is that .ogg arent correctly encoded by nexus 5 when recording in this extension. so it would be good to have a version with .aac wich is supported (as told me by some sailfish-os porters guys)

[wilson]

Started gettin "Server response was: old_version" on my 0.1-9 on my Sailfish OS (1.1.6.27)/Jolla. Any hints how to be able to continue using this excellent Whatsup?

[droll]

Yes, but nothing to change lately.
I'll make some stupid changes this weekend to check memory usage.

thank you. also, my experience with whatsup is a bit frustrating. it's fine moving around navigating etc but when I start replying messages, the whole whatsup just hangs (and I see "whatsup is not responding") quite frequently.

I should probably video record this....let me do that.

[fin2cv]

Since yesterday whatsup can't connect at all, status is at first "disconnected", and after a while "error". There are several Jolla users here in Finland having same problem. Old conversations and contacts are still available.

Just wanted to report that since a couple of hours I'm getting the exact same error... Having been using Whatsup for a while now, only registered once with my Jolla, never had any problems.

Love the app, thanks a lot for creating and maintaining it Cepi! Hope it gets fixed :)

Check this out, maybe this could help?
(github) (https://github.com/davidgfnet/whatsapp-purple/issues/295)

Seems like a proper fix to me, however, I have no idea where to change the 'resource' line for Whatsup. I checked out ~/.config/cepiperez/whatsup.conf but it's not in there. I guess it's hard-coded into the application itself?

[cvp]

same here, today i use the app, no problems, but 2 hour ago i cant connect anymore :(

[localhost]

+1 'trying to connect'

[PatsJolla]

I have exactly the same problem with connection.
Till 12:00 CEST or so it worked all normally.
Then Im suddenly disconnected.
I try to log off and restart the app nothing...
I try rebooting the phone...nothing...

Then I switch to Mitakuuluu to see if Im banned (again *sigh*) but this is also not working the app either crashes or tells me no route to verify registration via sms..thats a Mitakuuluu problem..and I currently have no time for investigating...

So I install the devil..the android app.. to understand whats (h)aAPPening - PUN! haha - so funny I know!
and.... It works!?!!! No ban. I can normally chat and edit contacts etc.

So back to Whatsup...and here I can't now not even re-register, clicking on connect does nothing and I can only see old chats.

Any Ideas? I preferr the native clients over the android they are smooth, nicer, less "hungry", mor intuitive...just better

[cvp]

funny... now i can connect and use the app. without regist again.

[AMD]

funny... now i can connect and use the app. without regist again.
I can confirm, it's working again :)

I was even too lazy to try the android one. Been staring at it trying to connect since the minute this issue started :D

Edit: it's connecting and disconnecting. Perhaps the fix is on its way

I haven't heard anything since then !

My old Whatsup 0.1.9 on Jolla 1.1.7.24 works like usual. Also updated to the new 0.1.9 test release. Also working like a charm. German Number +49.

I don't really know the WA Protocol good enough, but my strategy for not get banned is simple:
- Dont register the same number on different devices / clients
- Dont change Sim-Card on the Jolla, which is alredy registered and working
Thats all. I was never banned. After Mitakuuluu 2.x has stopped working i got to the Android WA, and now i'm on WhatsUp since the first public beta from Cepi. (Thanks Cepi for your Work, btw. alredy donated twice).
This is also the reason, why i don't use Mitakuuluu 3.x.
Next week i get my new Jolla, because my old (The first one) has a yellow burn-in on the display and the battery is almost on the EOL. I will try to register my number on the new Jolla over WhatsUp again, on the old one i can than try Mitakuuluu 3.x

Can't connect since two days: "State: error" (before it says there's an error it tries to connect a few times, so it changes from "State: connecting" to "state: offline" a few times).

Already tried to hex-edit reported protocol version as suggested here (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1477628&postcount=810) but that didn't help.

Started whatsapp manually with "killall whatsup && whatsup > whatsup.log 2>&1" - full log: http://pastie.org/10307796 - important part:

Can't connect since two days: "State: error"
Tried to re-register:
http://picload.org/image/iiwccww/screenshot-23-07-15-18-19-02.png
I don't really know the WA Protocol good enough, but my strategy for not get banned is simple:
- Dont register the same number on different devices / clients
- Dont change Sim-Card on the Jolla, which is alredy registered and working
Thats all. I was never banned.

Well, I was banned pretty quick (around a month of usage). Didn't change SIM nor registered the number to anything but Whatsup.

[HtheB]

It's weird to see that some users gets banned very quickly, while others never even get a ban hammer....

Edit: Guys, if you got banned, please share your settings with us!

like, were set Always offline or have you turned off the blue notifications etc.

[V10lator]

Guys, if you got banned, please share your settings with us!
I don't remember all settings right now but at least I disabled read notifications.

Another thing is that I wrote to whatsapp support. They unbanned me with the following reply:
Hi,

It appears as if you are using a device that is running a modded and/or jailbroken operating system. Unfortunately, we do not support these operating systems, even if you are using our official client. They may contain source code which WhatsApp cannot guarantee as safe. Your private information is potentially being passed to 3rd parties. In addition, these operating systems may not function correctly and may cease to work at any given time. Furthermore, your device may send false messages and may lead to a ban by our system.

Please use the official operating system for your device and the official version of WhatsApp. Please also note, we do not provide support for unofficial clients or for jailbroken/unsupported devices.

What version of WhatsApp are they using?

[droll]

the slow down in whatsupp is likely due to some kind of swapping. i switched off my mmc swap partition and relied only on zram. whatsup lagged noticeably less and if there were lags, they were also noticeably shorter.

Realy thank you for this hint. I can confirm. After swapping off mmcblk0p24 whatsup is noticeable more responsive!

I noticed whatsupp uses the wrong name for contact, instead of the real name it uses the name of username of one of my im accounts (skypweb in this example), so that the name of contact in whatsup is looool93 instead of Katja K.

Is the rest of the system still stable with swap off and ZRAM on? On my laptop it's still stable but I'm not sure about it on the Jolla phone.

[CepiPerez]

Do you got an idea why some whatsapp clients don't send messages that whatsup can recieve?

[CepiPerez]

libQt5Location.so.5 is provided by the qt5-qtlocation package.

You can install it from the terminal with the following:

pkcon install qt5-qtlocation

I'm sorry, this may have been asked and answered lots of times before, but I can't find it right now. Is there any way to backup and restore Whatsup messages/threads? I'm asking because my Jolla is going to maintenance quite often, and I will lose my logs every time...

/home/nemo/.config/cepiperez/whatsup*.conf
/home/nemo/.whatsup/*.db

After your Jolla reset, place them to the orginal folder, then u no need register again and wont lost any msg

[fin2cv]

I have been struggling couple of weeks with whatsup connection problem. I've installed latest (0.1-9) version, but whatsup can't connect to server. . Neither I can't register, feedback is "old_version". I guess I got banned by whatsapp, any ideas how to solve this problem? Send a mail to whatsapp?? I wouldn't like to install the android support and android version of whatsapp to my jolla..

Resolved this issue and got Whatsup running in my Jollla. For anyone who may encounter this issue in the future this is what I did ..

Did a pkcon refresh after which following error was returned
'Fatal error: Authentication failed (is SSU set up correctly?)'

In order to fix the above error, changed the SSU release from 'Latest' to '1.1.6.27' (Sailfish OS version of my device) . This thread posted in together.jolla.com was really helpful in sorting this out - ssu status Release (https://together.jolla.com/question/87506/ssu-status-release-latest/)

Then pkcon refresh was run sucessfully and Whatsup was installed along with it's dependancies from the Warehouse App.

@CepiPerez, thanks for this wonderful App.
@mrsellout , thanks again for your help.

I can't add new member to a group. The member gets added but actually not added since checking another conversation and coming back to group doesn't reflect the new member added. Please fix it, Cepi. Thanks

this usually happens when the user has blocked you. Can you talk to the person itself?

[purplewakanda]

I can chat with the person individually. So I'm not blocked.

[PatsJolla]

I also have now the problem that I don't receive messages.
All people to whom I open a new chat get my messages I can see their status like ...is writing a message... but I never receive something.
This happens to Apple and to Android users. Sailfish users I don't have.

The only place where I can still receive answers is within groups. strangely.

I tried shutting down the app including disconnecting, restarting the phone etc. nothing helped.

Additional Info: I also see that the app constanly loses the connection. Should I send the log? or can I somehow reset the app somehow?

[Thaodan]

Never noticed this. Please tell your friend that send you some messages again and send me log files.

you've got a pm.

do you think they can hit you? I mean its us law and you live in eu or not?

[coderus]

They only can delete facebook page, delete instagram page and delete whatsapp account. All main devs i know are received similar messages, most of projects are closed. Devs who ignored this case, desist and demand email got removed their accounts.
