Someone already got WhatsApp (whatsapp<dot>com) working on their Archos Gen8?
I have downloaded the apk for Android and installed it on my Archos 70, but I get an error that the application does not recognise my Archos (or something similar).
It seems that it doesn't work on a WIFI only device, GSM module is required I think.
Maybe someone has found a workaround for this?
BTW, I have already contacted WhatsApp support via email, waiting for their reply...
WhatsApp needs GSM because your mobile number is your login credentials/identifier: no GSM -> no identifier -> no WhatsApp
edit: to get around the missing gsm problem, they would have to implement real credentials (phone number + password) so not everbody can just type your phone number in his whatsapp and send messages as it he were you.

He wrote they have to change this in the application
Im sorry but i think they wont doing it, just because one archos user want it.
(nearly) all other android devices can "handle" whatsapp because nearly all android devices are phones
(so gsm module is included)
Hmmm that sucks... Because I almost always have WiFi so it would save me like 10 euro per month. But there are way more Tablets like Xoom, how do they do it? Or does the Xoom also have an data plan? Maybe there are some hackers who can fix/crack it?
Yes the Xoom has an data plan
You can try mjoy.com, its pretty the same
Hackers would have to change the apk, and thats much work
sorry, but i think no one will do this

Thanks for your answer. I live in holland, and does Mjoy.com mean that I can text anyone anywhere with my Archos (WiFi) and my normal mobile number? That's crazy. thank you.
EDIT: But do I get the message's on my mobile phone or on my Archos? Because if I get them on my phone it is rather useless.

You get the messages not on your Archos, you get them on phone
Because mjoy should actually use on phone (on your archos you have to change user gent to iphone) but then you need a data plan

it's the same whatsapp as it uses the same phone # , the same contacts , the same mesages and the same status
you have to take a backup from a working whatsapp because whatsapp needs a cell phone # to authenticate .
Well that sucks.

dude try to get your whatsapp running on any android phone then just take your backup it's too easy

Hey,
I have a weird problem.... Sometimes (like 2-3 times since i bought my phone in june) i search for something and then a pornpage shows up instead of the searchresults. I use chrome. Believe it or not, but i have never searched for porn or watched porn on my phone....
Anyone who can help me troubleshoot this?
PS! Please, if you cant control yourself and have to answer something stupid, then try to ignore this post.
Thanks
Could looks like network spoofing, do you trust your network provider ? I mean, are you connected to a free hotspot ?

It will be linked for the search results that you have used on your pc whilst logged into your gmail account
The tabs are linked between your chrome browser on the PC and the Chrome browser on your phone whilst logged in with your gmail account

So how can i get rid of that?
You'll never hear me complain about that!
Does an actual website show up? And if so, same one every time? Or are the search results returning porn sites?
Assuming it's an actual site. So you type in the search bar, hit "search" and the site just pops up?
Are you absolutely sure you are on Google when searching? Maybe it's a spoofed web address made to look like it that you somehow bookmarked... Or are you searching in the chrome address bar?

Doesnt have to be a suspect app could just be one that has an agreement with an ad company to make more money from the app
I had some free moving wallpapers installed for my children.
But there actually is a lot of "extras" installed and not always cleanly removed when removing the app.
I ended up wiping the phone and start fresh.
OK thanks guys for quick responses Most probably an app that's causing it. Weird that they can overrule chrome's searchresults...

Nop, you are getting search suggestion on what have you searched. That's why I have the web search history turned off: https://history.google.com/history/?hl=en&ctz=-120
you can also out-out here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ or remove the porn websites from your "interest" list
are you logged in to your google account on your PC or laptop? and is someone else using it? If so maybe chrome synced search results from pc to your phone

In my case i got the result page before "hitting enter" So it was really annoying, but it did not happen all the time.
Could be your search provider??
Is there an option to change search provider in chrome?

Search history i turned off years ago No way google is tracking me! I have also opted out.
Hello friends,
I wanted to alert everyone regarding what I discovered.
After latest firefox update I found out that-
Whenever I run Firefox app, it also runs Facebook app and facebook messenger.
Here is how I tested-
1) Kill the Facebook & Messenger totally by using the Force Stop option. For better, also Force Stop the Firefox .
2) Run Firefox again, and then check both the Facebook apps. You will see both the Poop-bags run back from the grave.
How? Why? I guess Firefox is sold out to Facebook too.
Now they are tampering the core too.
Yes I tried these steps, 3 times while writing this topic, to make sure whether my suspicion is valid or not. Yes it does exactly what I said.
Any one knows, how to stop this? (I know the solution some of you might give- Uninstall the Facebook apps.) . But before doing that
lets alert everyone and find out the solution, because this time Firefox is involved(sold out).
Which app permission should I disable to prevent this? (I am using Xprivacy, permission pro, app settings).
android 4.4 , Samsung 10.1 .
Thank you.
Anyone, noticed this? and know any solution?
You're accusing the Mozilla Foundation of possible illegal behavior. You'll need more than the odd behavior of one device to convince me.

Hello,
I am not here to accuse, I am here to get solution.
I use firefox since years, because of trust. But what I noticed after recent update is evident.
I have checked this several times. I mean everyday, before I run Firefox on my android tablet, I check which apps are running in the background. I kill them if they are there. Then I run firefox and check the running apps immediately. There you see Facebook+messenger, sitting in the background like thieves.
Did you try what I am saying? You will notice its not the "odd behavior of the device". but its the "obvious behavior of Mozilla Firefox".
You will see the same with Spider Solitare. Facebook is Targeting popular apps, or rather possibly Commissioning them.
What more should I test to check or prove that, or prevent that? is there any log or something that I should show here?
Thank you for reply, see you soon.
A lot of apps does that...
Even system apps..
Ex. In Samsung device's when you receive sms, Viber will also run..
When you use Camera, Gallery will run..
I think Firefox is using Facebook services, so if you use Firefox to log in facebook it will also sync.. not sure.
Separate note
Though im wondering that why its banned in XDA

As being banned means that it doesn't get mentioned. As for why. Because it's used to rip off devs, making it warez which xda is against.
As for the OP. Run a log cat and see what it is calling. This user maybe right. With everything so connected these days it is not odd for one app to start a service of another app.

This is the accusation. The Mozilla Foundation is registered as a tax-exempt organization under US law and as a charitable trust under California law. Selling out to Facebook jeopardizes that standing.

Ohh... what is banned/or not being mentioned, on XDA ? The firefox?
What does OP means?
I already sent them email. I also used the option they give "take a moment to tell us ........" thing.
I came here because its obvious activity that I am seeing everyday, and if they are involved, they wont give any solution. You people only can.
And, login using Firefox is totally different than the Facebook apps login. Not related. I am sure this activity is no where near to helping us.
Do you know any Xposed framework module, or something that will prevent this from the root?
See you. thanks again.

I use neither Facebook nor Firefox on my phone ( i do on my pc) but loaded them up. I followed your instructions. Results: Facebook had to boot from the splash screen each time. I'm deleting the apps not and moving on.

Woww,
this is getting serious. Every popular app Spider solitare, Etsy, ESfile explorer are sold out! Their latest updates are starting services for Facebook. Woww!!
The Greenify and xprivacy mods given by users, isnt working.
Seriously needs a solution for this. Anyone?
I thought it's because Facebook is just set up to run all the time? You kill it and it'll restart on its own, regardless of whether you start up other apps or not.

It is. To be honest there is not much that can be done. Mainly with android M new feature of allowing all apps to check for root and disable features or the app if root is detected.

Hello, hey no. (I guess you are a non-root user). Actually I removed Facebook from the root with the help of Titanium backup and installed it as a user app again. I have also removed its startup. It never starts by itself. Until i updated these popular apps. Now they are rigging even more apps. I know, I keep checking the running apps through ForceStop it or app settings. And I have tried several times, when I run these few mentioned apps I immediately go check the running apps again. There the facebook rise again.

What are you using for taking vids? Stock or a downloaded app? Google asst. has been giving issues lately. Try updating the asst. via Google play. If that doesn't help, try uninstalling and reinstalling it. If that fails, grab an older version from apkmirror.

Why not try a factory reset before reinstalling stock firmware. It's easier and in a sense achieves the same as a reinstall.
First of all, just so you know this a religious app, and I won't be discussing any religion on this thread so please don't
The app is supposed to download images and show them. but the problem is, when running MM I was able to use it perfectly but when upgrading to N after the splash screen the app shows a white screen.
Tried to downgrade to MM and use the app for a couple of house then upgraded to N and the same problem happens.
If anyone could help with this.
This sounds more like a problem with the app not working on N, so your best bet is to try and get in contact with the developers of the app and have them fix it.

that's what I thought, but when I had the P9 lite running nougat, it was working perfectly, I also asked a friend to test it on 7.1.1 and it did work
So I think the problem is with Vulkan API;
I can't see why you went through the trouble of downgrading for that app while there are plenty of way better alternatives.
