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

But you also need a phone that runs whatsapp... I don't have a phone with whatsapp. You also get your whatsapp messages on your Archos?

But that would mean that you have only ONE whatsapp on two devices? Or are they different from each other?

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
does that mean you could change some parameters in the user data of whatsapp and login as a different phone#
Does anyone have Google Voice working, or should we wait for the 3.1 update?
Thanks!!
Google Voice doesn't work. I even tried a modified apk from the Xoom.
I don't recall where I got it from, but there is a version out there that works pretty well. I'm pretty sure got it from another thread on this forum, so try searching and you should find it. It is kinda dated, it doesn't support the push notifications for text messages (so fastest you'll get texts is every 5 minutes), but it works.

I've had no luck finding this version. Does the Gtab need rooted for it to work?
I think this is the file that I have installed right now: htt p:// db . tt / T3Svb4A (sorry, not enough posts to post the full link, just remove the spaces). Let me know if that one doesn't work and I'll do a direct pull from my device. And no root is needed.

Groove IP works on gingerbread, can anyone confirm that it works on the tab/honeycomb?
Fyi groove IP allows for voice calls from a tab using your Google voice number.
I copied the Google Voice APK from my Nexus S to my LE Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it installed and ran without any of the configuration file trickery described in other posts. Neither device is rooted.

Are you able to make calls or just text? My texting works fine, but still need GrooveIP to make calls.

That will always be true for any WiFi device. The official Google Voice app is not a SIP client. You need some other SIP client like SipDroid, CSipSimple, SipAgent or GrooveIP.
I got Google Voice working by using Titanium Backup. I used the backup files from my SGS4G. It Took a while for the batch operation to finish but it worked! No calls for the time being though. Texting is great though!
Latest Version
Here's the latest version from my Infuse. Supposed to be easier on your battery.
Also, GrooVe IP is on sale at Amazon. $1.99 vs. the regular $3.99. http://www.amazon.com/snrb-Labs-GrooVe-IP/dp/B004Z1P53W/ref=zg_bs_mobile-apps_1

yes u can make and receive calls. all you need is Groove IP which is a paid app worth all the money. install the app, follow the setup, and start making and receiving phone calls with your google voice number. no root needed!!! yes u need to b on wifi
I noticed if you text on a wifi only device with google voice you dont get the text instantly, you have to wait for google voice app to refresh which its lowest setting is 5 minutes.
Is there anyway to get texting instantly?

I keep having to login throughout day or after reboot.
Anyone remember if there is a service or something I may of frozen that would cause this? I'm rooted and deodexed.
I'm going to start unfreezing everything tonight in hopes of determining what is causing it.
have a solution for you.

Is it difficult to setup?
I don't want another phone number; don't want someone calling me through google number.
Is there a way to just use Voice as the voicemail service and still have people call me at my normal phone number?

I did; tested it from office phone and it went right to it.
I love how I can listen to my messages or read transcript from web or phone.
This is awesome.
Nexus 4 CyanogenMod 10.1.0RC2
I'm loving the Google voice. The only issue I have is that transcript is not instant. I have to click on VM and wait for it to load. I'm going to probably disable it because it's not very good. I don't really care for it. Overall this is awesome. I can't believe I never used it before.
Google Play store says it's not compatible; I've tried various APKs and when I go to install they also say incompatible.
That sucks. What might be the cause? I know the S8 can install it.
I'm also having the same issue... The LG phone app is horrendous

This is the dialer I'm using...https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-android-apk-download/
When you go to the link, scroll down to "Download APK". Don't install a newer version, because it probably won't work. Or if you do and it does work, let me know.
It's the stock Google dialer, and everything works. I've used it on several phones lately. When you install it, make sure and go to your settings menu, then apps, then Configure apps, and then set the new dialer to be your default phone app. Easy as pie

As per the notes on the thread, this older version is the only one that fully works on Non-Nexus devices. The newer patched versions may install but are often buggy and lack the necessary framework for spam call rejection and other features.
oh wow...i didn't realize the dialer required framework and such to use those features. kind of second guessing my ordering of the V30 now...
Perhaps this

Does your dialer have the voicemail tab? I'm on T-Mobile and have to use T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app on my unlocked phone. I couldn't get the voicemail tab to show up and there was nothing in the settings that could activate it. I tried a SIM card pulling trick I saw on Reddit but that didn't do it either. Thanks!

I can check when I get home tonight. I’m using my iPhone right now. I’ll let you know later.
Edit...I'm home now and looking at my V30 with the Google dialer, and I don't see a voicemail tab anywhere.
How did you enable call screen or dialing screen to stock one? On my v30 only the dialer screen showsup and the calling screen is LG one.

You have to ensure that the Google Phone app is actually properly set as your default Dialer/Phone app. I had a similar problem until I did that. Under settings, go to apps and then click on "Configure apps" under the three dot overflow menu on the top right. Make sure the correct app is listed under "Phone app".

Been searching for days to find an apk that works on my LG V20, and this works perfectly - even location search.
I got a weird problem in my device 3/32GB.
No matter whatever nougat ROM I install, I am not able to send or receive SMS.
MIUI and Oreo ROMS are working fine
Tried flashing different firmwares with no luck
Any help from anyone would be appreciated
Add your number in SMS settings
On SMS settings, there is a option that must say "phone number". For me, it work put my number with the country code (like in whatsapp +1). Install Google messages too.
Not working
Tried it, still not working
