Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Hi!

Awesome work with Wazapp! I really appreciate the developers who put their hard work into it. :D

Just one thing that's been bugging me. There isn't no manual refresh of connection.

When Wazapp is in a hotspot and I open it it connects (it doesn't give me the offline line at the top, naturally) but when I get away from the hotspot and return again, even though I have the wi-fi connection on my phone, Wazapp still says offline.

I'd have to quit the app and restart it in order to get the connection running again.

I hope for a refresh button or something. Just a suggestion!

A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DEVELOPERS OUT THERE!

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

First, would like to thank the devs for their great effort in bringing this app,
Second, this is the way I finally got it working in my country,

uninstall wazzap

Install wazzap v0.1.8 but don't launch wazapp, instead open "Accounts" - then Add accounts and select wazapp from there (believe me, I tried the other way and never got it to work)

Once wazzap is launched enter your country code + the first digit of your number. eg. if code is +23 and number is 1234567890 you should enter on the code box like this +231 then on number 234567890, wait for the registration for complete (don't enter any other wazzap code registration number if you already had one), once the registration is complete, close wazzap and open it from the launcher, now that is fully working you can go and download v0.2.4 from the website and install it (DO NOT UNINSTALL v0.1.8)

I hope this can help someone

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Well, its a little OT but, here is my analysis. If you get remaining 34% battery after 14 hrs, it means your current consumption is

1450 * 0.65 / 14 = 67.3 mA . The math is simple as 1450mAh is the battery capacity and you consumed 65% . This more realistic as without OC , with GTalk/Wazapp and emails the drain is ~40mA, with OC I can expect it to more than 40 . Sorry for my ignorance, but I never really understood how you can get better battery life AFTER performing OC operation.

Again I apologise for the off-topic post.

Goin on topic, I noticed that current drain with Wazapp on 2.5G/EDGE is 25mA, which is not bad .

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

I have a question: Do your contacts recognize you as yourself, or do they ask you who you are when you text them. Because, at least in my country there is an extra number that is added by phone operator, to recognize the cellphones from the local landlines.

In my country the international code is +52 then area is 833 and finally my number composed of 7 digits.

Official Whatsapp registers my number as +52 1 833 (phone number), so you can see it adds a number 1 between my area code and international code.

When I registered wazapp for the first time it asked my for my number so i just registered +52 and then 8331234567. This marked me an error, so I did the trick you suggest (in 0.2 and previuous versions). And registered as +528 then 331234567 and it worked like a charm. BUT, this created a new account number thats is composed as +528 as country code and 331234567 as my number, resulting in a new account, that is not recognized as me by my contacts, it would display for them as +528331234567

Official whatsapp registers mine as +5218331234567, it adds an extra digit between country code and area code (which is 1) I hope this gets to tgalal, so he can work on it. Later I will try using my dads sim on the new version, to see if it works. My account right now displays an error that says fail-too-many:: but only on wazapp, I can register correctly on symbian.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

I want to report a big bug regarding the registration process on Wazapp.

On previous versions I was able to change the country code.

On the first version of Wazapp, when I tried to register using the country code +52 and my number 833 (area code) 1370563 (local number) +52 8331370563
I got the "account expired please re-register" error, so after fiddling around, someone suggested to do the country code digit trick, which consists of moving one of the areacode+number digits to the country code, so I registered this way

Country Code +528
Phone number 331370563

Please note that the number 8 was moved from the phone number to the country code space. This led me to register succesfully, but when I texted my contacts they wouldnt recognize me, even when my number was +528331370563. Then I got to the conclussion that the digit trick created another account, using my numbers in different way. So, instead of being a mexican phone number, it was a country with country code +528 (which doesnt exist)

Then I took my sim to an official whatsapp client and registered succesfully, then I noted that all my contacts where under this format: +52 (country code) 1 (operator code to distinguish cellphones from landlines) 833 (area code) 1234567 (phone number)

i.e
+52 1 8331370563

(this is explained on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2B52#D...co_from_abroad)

Here, the cellphone operator assings one digit (number 1) before every area code number when trying to call from outside mexico. So, here in mexico I can call cellphones by dialing either 8331370563 or +528331370563. But if someone from the US or other country wants to call to my cellphone, they have to dial +52 1 8331370568 and this rule applies to every mexican cellphone, and maybe other countries.

When I try to do the digit trick on my N9 by typing +521 8331370563 or +52 18331370563 the app doesnt recognize my number as own, so it display error. On the official app I just select my country and my number 8331370563. This makes me think that the official whatsapp client sends extra info to the server telling it that Im living in Mexico and there needs an extra digit for incoming cellphone calls or SMS, and not just the country code number.

Also, this might create problems when syncing contacts. Because we dont usually save numbers on international format, when we save it to wazapp, it has to send it to Whatsapp server and "convert" it to international format, plus every other digit operators might add, such as in my case.

This is important, because our contacts might be sending messages to us, but we wont receive because of account variations. And if they save it on their address book, they wouldnt know which one is which when trying to text us. So we wont receive every message, killing the purpose of Whatsapp

This mesage was sent to tgalal for review, but I think he's already aware of this!

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Minor Bug - Lauch the app from Task Manager Screen and go to contacts, contact's list scrolls down by it self

Version: 0.2.4
Meego PR 1.2

Repro steps:
* Lauch app from scratch (all closed and splash screen appears)
* When Splash - Loading screen view appears, swipe it.
* Do whatever you need to do
* Go to Task Manager Screen and open Wazapp
* Click Contacts tabs

will automatically start scrolling down whitout even make a swipe.
Not important issue, but just to put it in the backlog.

Great job!!

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

On people who are getting fail-too-many, Whatsapp support won't help you. I got the "fail-too-many" problems too and I emailed them 7 times. Only 1 automated reply and nothing else.

On other questions abt what i did on overcoming my "fail-too-many":
i did not try restore settings as I am really sick of trying different solutions and clearing device was cleaner.

I also did not do backup. I am no developer nor someone who knows in-depth of how N9 works. I rather do everything clean from scratch, since something was not working and i do not know what.

All i know is that I have three devices, one android, one iphone and one n9. iphone and n9 failed in verifying and android has no issues, and that led me to think that clearing my device will work. And it did and I am happy and am not too bothered with why it worked and if I could do it in another way or not

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Could you help me answering one question?

Under Wazapp account manager, the number that you are registered with is it the same one that you typed in when registering? Or is there any added digit?

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

same numbers but without the "+" sign. I registered with a "+" sign.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

To the people having the fail-too-many error, I suspect that we have reached the montly SMS registering limit, which I think its around 5 or 8...

So I deeply regret to say that we may have to wait until the counter resets back again, which could be until end of month. Starting July, unless Tgalal finds a way to register using internet only.

This registration process is available in official whatsapp clients, in example, symbian.

To prove this, you may switch your sim card to your symbian phone and you will register without issues. Try it and tell us.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

here in mexico we have a different issue, because telephone operators add one digit to cellphone numbers. You dont seem to have this problem.

The fail-too-many displays when we run out of SMS monthly registration requests, this to prevent excesive SMS losses for whatsapp company, every SMS means money, and its more when it's international messaging.

I dont think clearing device helped you, instead I guess whatsapp team manually resetted your counter back to 5 or 8 whatever is the initial limit, after the 7 mails you sent them. And the clear device you did was just a coincidence. But just my thoughts, and Im sure tgalal is already aware of this, and realeasing the new version with internet confirmation-

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Intially, I thought Whatsapp has a counter on their end. But I have 3 devices. Iphone and N9 failed. But android never fails in verifying. How can the results differ when it is stored on their end?
Besides it might be too much of a coincidence that they clear my counter right after i cleared. Plus, i think the Whatsapp team is based in Mountain View and I cleared my device at 11am GMT+8.

Besides, I think you might have 2 issues compounded. Firstly, you have the number difference issue. Because the numbers do not match, and you keep trying, and resulted in "Fail-too-many". As for my case, my number works fine but i tried too many times in verifying due to my own hobby of playing with mobile phones.

Anyway, like I say, I am just sharing what worked for me.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Well, please confirm me this, but on symbian, I dont need to receive an SMS, its an internet-only method. I dont remember well, but as far as I remember the iphone uses internet only method too, without SMS, unless you have issues.

Android not sure also, but I think its internet-only. Please share your experience

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

I do not think i have a sufficiently complete experience but i will just share what i got.

iPhone: does not ask me for code when the SIM card and my whatsapp number i am registering for matches, it just registers automatically. But it asks me for code when the SIM card and the phone number does not match.

Android. So far I have only tried with matching SIM card and phone number and it registers automatically in whatsapp, so it never asks me for any code, just like in iPhone. I have not tried SIM card and with a different number. But i think it is not internet only. It does not allow registration with WIFI without SIM card.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

it does need the sim card because I could use obama's phone number and hijack his whatsapp account, but its different to only need to confirm the sim number, than using SMS to send a code and enter that code.

so my theory still remains, not sure why your counter reset, but Im sure you depleted your SMS limit before, and thats the reason of the fail-too-many

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Hey, Tarek Galal is already aware of this problem, I'm from Mexico as well and I was lucky to report him this problem while he was online two days ago, he said the next update version will fix it. I guess trying too many times won't make any difference, it is just a matter of being patient!

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

yes, that is also what i am guessing since the first time i post, so your point is? It is just that I think the information is on the phone. But I might be very wrong.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

my point is that we have to wait, and want to make it clear, since there are more people out there that might have this issue too. Patience is the key here

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

yes, good to be patient and get a solution that address the root issue.

Like i say, i was just sharing what worked for me, it was not meant to be the solution to the issue.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Might be, but I don't think a ping check will cause the longer load times and heavier use of resources.

BTW, what's this ping check for anyway? When switching from wlan to 2g/3g there's a chance it won't connect, forcing you to restart the app.

Still it is a great app and I'm pretty sure we'll get it just right in no time.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

still a little OT.
i will provide the values through the today (battery usage app).
i unplugged the phone right now. here we are:
discharged from 94% to 88% in 6h05m
avg current 13mA, average active 142mA, averge idle 10mA.
of course the phone was completly idle at night, so in the afternoon i'll tell you the "day"-values.

cheers,
no_nuke

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

I had it all working nice before...but then I installed it in Nitdroid too. I regret that because now I can't get it to work in Harmattan anymore. I've uninstalled it in Nitdroid, but it won't help. Tried reinstalling it and it registered without any problem again in Nitdroid, but in Harmattan I constantly get "Fail too recent XXXX" all the time.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

wow, i don't know how is that even possible. I have 2 push email accounts and 1 facebook account. My average idle current consumption is between 30-40mA. Once I am logged onto skype chat, it increase to 50mA :(

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Just wanted to say a big thanks again, can't believe how many updates have already been brought out!!! You guys ROCK!!! Sending lots of love to the AMAZING development team!!!

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Well, they did help me.
I also had the "fail too many" problem.
I send an E-Mail to whatsapp support and asked to unblock my account.
They answered and unblocked it after on day and everything worked fine afterwards.
I guess it would be wise to not mention the 'N9' or 'Wazapp' in the Mail, though. This should only complicate things because they cannot provide support for Wazapp, I suppose.
I just told them in my E-Mail that i switched my smartphone and got blocked somehow.
You emailed them 7 times? In what timespan?
You should keep in mind that whatsapp has probably a quite small development and support team and I'm sure they get LOTS of Mails right now.
Spamming the support probably won't accelerate things.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

First and second was a day apart. But their silence makes me fustrated and the rest were quite close.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

an excellent work, devteam!!!!! superb!!!!

I installed with the voice call trick, because the "fail-too-many" and can logged in, but now, I recive messages but can't send :S. Any clue?

I'm from Argentina, with Personal.

Thanks again for this great port!!!

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

@nokiac

ok, after 16h i'm at 29%.
avg current 48mA, average active 354mA, average idle 25mA.
this was my day: 1,5h surfing, 2 chats with wazapp, about 30 emails, about 20 min phone, 1 sms, 4 pics, 1 panorama pic.

that's it.

cheers,
no_nuke

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Yea those numbers all add up correctly now . Cheers

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

sorry not beeing precise the first time.

cheers,
no_nuke

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

I have tried every possible combination. This does not work.

As far as I know they just ignore our emails..

Sadly I cannot do that since the SIM-card for the N9 is smaller than my previous SIM so that will not fit. 

I did every step perfectly, but sadly still registration failed.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

Any word from the N900 version?

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

New version released, gonna try, and hope it fixes my problem :)

EDIT: nope, didnt. still have the fail-too-many error

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

I prefer the previous look (0.2.4) :P

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

if you get fail-too-many then ur problem is with whatsapp server not wazapp. it's a direct message from server..

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

thx tgalal for rapidly updating, i alsk like the keyboard-hiding-text bug being fixed...but it would be nice if keyboard would not disappear everytime you send a message...

scrolling in conversations.overview seems kind of laggy too...
everything else - just magnificent :)

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

me too.....i think we must wait this month, the limit of reg. is reached.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

looks like filebox? :rolleyes:

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

And... Now I can't see the text while writing in landscape mode (ok, already said! kb61).

PS: when someone is texting you while you are writing, the Send button disappears, and you have to pull up the top of the keyboard so as to send the text.

Re: [Announce] Wazapp Public Beta for N9
 

So for everyone with the failed:too-many error just have to wait until the 1st of June? That is in about a week, hopefully it will work then.
