dear whatsapp service after 3 or 4 updates you do not install will stop supporting your older app with the service, so if you do not update it will stop working as a messenger, the new whatsapp app has a far better ui, very much eye catcher, is much faster and much bug free and richer in features

Yes
Now whatsaap comes with lots of new features it also include delete button , now you can easily deactivate whatsaap from your mobile phone.

same problem

thats true but i understand his problem cause it gets to me all the time..im using the app on a non gsm tf300t and the newer app doesnt work..so everytime i start it i get that annoying notification..i definitely need help with that.I know its an old thread and all but i still have this problem.

I know, this is an older thread, but it fits to my question.
Is there a way to disable the automatic Update check in Whatsapp Plus ?
There are to much updates for things which are uninteresting for me. I just need the stealth mode
My Partner uses the whatsapp stock version, so i know about new and important updates if the Playstore Version got Updated.

[Q] Whatsapp force closing when trying to share an image

Hey everyone. Whatsapp keeps force closing on me when I try to share an image from the gallery application. From within whatsapp it's fine. But only while sharing from the gallery application.
I wrote Whatsapp over a week ago and as usual they don't answer. So I'm not sure. I doubt it's the phone because I've tried 3 different ROMs and I've had the same issue with all of the roms. So I don't know what to do. It's not that big of a deal, but it is kind of a bother. Sometimes I just get a black screen and I have to back out completely and just go into whatsapp itself to do it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved: Whatsapp wrote me back today and the woman pointed me to the updated version they had on their website which totally fixed my issues! Thanks whatsapp hehe.
It works for me just fine...dont know why you have the issue..
infact i never had this issue in the various stock ROM's i have used in the past
I am on whatsapp version 2.7.431
If you are rooted try fix permissions , ROM manager has it... CWM recovery has it..might be few other ways too...
also check the settings in whatsapp, if the system status is showing working OK...
check if it works when you are on wifi...

I'm not rooted, that's the thing. All the roms have been stock (either an updated or not updated OS). Everything else on my phone works except this! It's strange. If I am not rooted can I still check permissions or anything else that you said? I'm also not interested in rooting. Thanks for the help
SOLVED! See first post

Is that yes or no?
Meaning most likely not. Those budget Samsung devices seldom get updated

O thankz. Should have got moto G 3rd gen instead. If I knew Samsung not going to update they budget galaxy.
Sad news
I believe that it would get one. That is the policy of samsung, as much as I can tell.

I rooted my device, but when I check for updates, I get the message:
The os on your device is changed in an not authorized way. Try to download software updates with smart switch on pc.
Does anybody have an unrooted J5 who can try to update it?

How did you rooted it?
There is an very easy way to do it ... with kingoroot. It took me like 3 minutes totally and no issues up to now. I even got an stupid /security/ update which f**ed up some things with an adware inspired by facebook messenger so whenever i`m trying to read or send a message trough browser i get immediately redirected in play store where I get offered to install the app.
However i just want to say that i`m still getting some updates even with my rooted j5.
I rooted with odin

It's related to facebook changes. Search internet and see.
As a solution, you can change the browser to desktop mode and then you won't have that annoying problem.
There are also some slim facebook alternatives, search on xda / Reddit / Google.
I'm using facebook on browser as well.

As a solution i switched to the CM 12.1 build 9 and the phone is not just working .. it is flying
well there are some issues: camera , and when i speak on the phone and it is next to my ear suddenly i notice that some things happen ( by pressing somethings on the screen) so i have to speak carefully; the themes don`t work but it is not bothering me at all
However i won`t go back to stock !

This is a common bug across EMUI. Will be fixed by upcoming update.

Yes there is. Make sure you have updated to the latest ROM (EU is B380)
1 - Backup all your stuff with Huawei native app
2 - Factory reset and let it boot
3 - Setup your google account and nothing more. Also don´t restore any apps yet.
4 - Test incoming calls when screen is off.
5 - Setup Huawei account
7 - Install Skype and it will restore itself call and chat history
8 - Test Skype (I have problems with it but I have 2 additional devices with the same account at the same time that rings at the same time so it might be just me)
9- Install fresh remaining communications apps like Whatsapp. From my experience when you restore from backup they will bug the notifications, so it´s better a fresh install while just restoring the chat history from backup.
10 - Setup maximum priority for communication apps notification
11 - If you feel it´s necessary you can also set those apps not to be closed and be automatically launched at startup.

No,
just open Telephon Manager
Enable Notification Manager and then check the config
you also have to allow the apps in autostart manager
and protect them

I think its a huawei-wide problem, No Fix as får as i know
So there is no solution, just to wait and hope they will fix it. And how about rooting and putting some other ROM? Is there any stable ROM for PLK-TL01H?

Ive Just updated My device so now i am on b380 stock Rom unrooted but with twrp.. i Will try it now
I don't have any notification problem with B380 and B190 and I use 2 whatsapp accounts along with Slack, FB and other social media apps.
You are using it wrongly.
In my B351 update, i dont have this notification problem.

It's probably cuz these are third party apps
It's from Play Store.
I also tried with b170 and b360 update. I dont have the notification problem in my Honor 7 Indian Version..
Most notification problems comes from restoring those apps from backup.
If you just install a fresh app after factory reset and then ONLY restore app history (if needed as Skype doesnt need) you shouldnt get any notification problem.
Well phone is new, there is no any backup. I tried factory reset, same problem. I am waiting 14 days for huawei unlock code, i will root phone and then move apps from data/app to system/app, that should solve the problem. I am on EMUI 4.0.1 so that's all with marshmallow, everything else is working ok.

Blocking/Disabling EMUI update

EMUI updater keeps popping up randomly requesting to update (usually once in morning and once at night) even though I've turned off :
All permissions
All notifications
All data usage access
Advanced write system settings
I've done this for the following:
Software Updater
Phone Manager
Even though I force stop Software Updater, it starts up again after some time (and does the popup)
Have I missed anything?

You realize that's for firmware updates right. You want those. Especially to fix bugs that people claim exist.

This being my first non custom rom and rooted device I still want to have full control when to search for update and not have it randomly popup.

Good luck. You can deny everything but it is programmed to check as they want you updated.

Same boat my friend, except I tried the new pie update and it has terrible issues with Bluetooth so I rolled back to Oreo,I don't want it to update ever again but I really want those notifications to stop!
I contacted Huawei support, they were useless, I will send a letter of complaint and see if that helps at all.
In developer options....turn off automatic updates

Man that sucks =( I feel for you
Every time they roll out a new update I have to cancel update prompt and force stop the the app every time I plug in my USB to charge.
Eventually the prompt will stop coming after like a month of rejecting it - until a new update is released...

Yup, it might come to rooting, but I hate the issues that surround it with apps hating it, googlepay, some games etc. Handy if Huawei just gave people a leave me a lone option

Notification issues

Have any of you guys had issues with this?
For example I use Hangouts a ton and it's been hit and miss. For every message I do get I miss like 9. I've gone though the settings and turned on autostart, set all notifications to yes, and no restrictions on battery saver and still nothing.
How have you guys been dealing with this issue? I'm loving every other aspect of this phone except this lol.

Temporary Workaround :
Goto Special app access -> battery optimization and select google play services and google framework services to Dont Optimize. I will work,,
Dont reboot the device after the setting to Dont optimize otherwise it will revert to Optimize..( It wont stick to Dont optimze if reboot)..

How did you convert to global rom? do you get OTA updates? also could you screenshot the about phone section?
Would also like to know how you went the global Rom too.
