kundalus 24 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 Hi! Frns, off lately i have seen wahtsapp creating a lot of issues with various mobile os. I can confirm that its not working properly on Nokia and Android phones. Have witnessed battery drain and also the phone takes forever to respond to a single button which is pressed. I was of opinion that it is caused by whatsapp on the accounts which dont pay after one year of free usage but i know lot of frns who have been running it since years and no issues. M wondering what it has got to do with the issue? Its probably one of the best app to chat and create groups which is a lot more interactive. I havent found ppl using custom whatsapp (available on xda) creating any such issues, as i personally use it. But with stock its giving lot of issues on nokia and android phones. Anyone knows y? can anyone help to solve this issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dev997 62 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 I use watsapp alot on my sgs2(android) and focus s(windows) extensively on daily basis, but didn't saw any noticeable difference with it recently. It runs very smoothly and no lags whatsoever. I sometimes see some lag while it posts something that I write after clicking send, but thats not something new/recent. Maybe clear data/ reinstall may solve the issue. Not sure though !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kundalus 24 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 It doesnt solve the issue. I have three nokia phones having same issue, E72 (x2) & C5. Photon also lagging for a bit of moment and takes a while to open. Working fine in BB though but too much issue on Nokia and Photon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmc251 73 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 I'm a regular user of what's app... using the stock app... No problem at all... Try uninstalling along with its folder created on mmc for media and other stuff and then reinstall... I've seen a few symbian users complaining that the device gets quite slow with it... But no complaint with other os... All the best buddy... Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snorlax 319 Report post Posted July 22, 2012 a glitch if i may say, i have been experiencing off late in Whatsapp... sometimes, the notification light does not blink nor does the fon vibrate even wen there is a new message. Also, if i have typed something and sent a message, that message still remains in the typing box instead of vanisg=hing after the message is sent.. dunno if it is a common problem due to the latest update from whatsapp.. @theking: not a bad idea...but frankly never found any major shortcoming wid whasapp that would make me look for other IM...will try in future if need be:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the biggest advantage/usp on watsapp is that ur users are pulled from the phone contacts list. So if any of my frnd buy a new smartphone and install watsapp among any os, that will automatically be added. No other IM provides this flexibility. This also shows that people still rely more on phone numbers then fb/gmail IM contacts in contact list. Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dev997 62 Report post Posted July 22, 2012 Also ability to send photos/notes etc seemlessly is inparalleled. So whenever I purchase a shirt online I just snap a pic of it and send it my frnds nd gf to get their opinion..

theking 35 Report post Posted July 22, 2012 That can be done otherwise also..my opinion.. For new contacts, we have sms right;) Whatsapp..just an additional resource instead of more commonly used ones..

Ya, u r right, but lot of ppl are not used to chat, plus if u have to send a msg to someone whose email-id u r not aware, whatsapp serves best... a glitch if i may say, i have been experiencing off late in Whatsapp... sometimes, the notification light does not blink nor does the fon vibrate even wen there is a new message.

So it starts creating issue or can be a bug but still unable to find any solution on internet Group chat in what's app is unique.best....

You cannot compare smartphones anymore, BlackBerry, Nokia, Palm or any OS may not be comparable to Androids' hardware and software offerings. Watsapp works flawlessly on devices packed with 1Ghz/512 RAM combination and above. Watsapp uses cloud messaging based on native device phonebook while others don't. Apps like Chrome beta, Mozilla Firefox, Watsapp are meant to be used on superfast devices. Take no offense, thats the power of technology.
