QUOTE(lOrDjAbU @ Oct 3 2010, 02:14 PM) I think whatsapp is cooler though. i use it to chat with my gf. She's on iphone. Cross platform rulezz! Hi, Thanks for introduce this great apps. i just installed and it looks great. If you dont mind, would like to ask few queries on this apps. 1) Do we need to close the whatsapp or just leave it on? Will it take up data usage while we leave it on? 2) How do we close whatsapp? 3) If whatsapp closed (stop running), will incoming message be prompt? I check my data usage and it keep increasing even i do not download anystuff. So i suspect that it's cause by whatsapp (did not send any message via whatsup) Cheers, Danny |

QUOTE(Harddisk @ Oct 4 2010, 11:45 AM) If you click on the sync entry, it says sync the contact on WhatsApp. If you notice, in your phone's contact display option, there's a new entry for WhatsApp, which will automatically linked to your current address book's entries on related people. I guess if you don't sync them, if any of the new users, which happen to belong in your address book, won't shows up in your WhatsApp. Hence you can't start a conversation with them. This is just my guess, but you can try it out and let me know. At least this program's contact detecting works much better than Tango's. Thanks, my guess is the same. I disable the sync and go to Whatsapp --> Contact --> click on Refresh, it will auto enable back the sync. By any chance you know if we did not send/received any sms, Whatsapp still using any data (it's running though)? Cheers, Danny This post has been edited by dannyng: Oct 4 2010, 12:00 PM |

QUOTE(Harddisk @ Oct 4 2010, 11:58 AM) Only 1 solution, keep checking your WhatsApp Network Usage info, after you disable the sync.  Sorry if this doesn't really work out. My data utilisation is still way below, despite just 500mb package. So I don't really bother if it use or not (at least for this month).  Thanks again. I do that (checking on the Total bytes sent) and found that if I did not received/sent any sms, the total bytes will remain the same(this show that Whatsapp is not taking any data usage). But when I checked on the 3G watchdog, the kb keep increasing (only around 20 - 50kb every 30 minutes). Note: I disable all the email push (I set it to manually retrive) I really like Whatsapp alot and hopefully it did not takeup too many data usage when we did not sent/received any sms. Cheers... |

QUOTE(hihihehe @ Oct 4 2010, 01:25 PM) actually im not quite sure on this WhatsApp from what i know,if u disable the sync of the app,u wont get push message from the app..but u can get the message if u access the app but in this WhatsApp,it looks like it sync the contact only... maybe u can try disable the sync then reboot ur phone and go to phone settings>applications>running services and check whether whatsapp service is running or not Hi, I disable the sync and reboot the phone. After the phone restart, I recheck again to ensure that the sync is disable. Then ask my colleague to send sms to me, yes, I'm able to receive. So I can confirmed that the sync if only for the contact and the Whatsapp is running all the while. The good news is, if we disable the sync and dont received/sent any sms, I think no data usage for Whatsapp (according to Network Usage in the Whatsapp). Cheers.. |

QUOTE(guppy @ Oct 4 2010, 03:01 PM) I *think* WhatsApp uses the sync setting to auto discover people in your contacts list who are using WhatsApp. It doesn't sync messages over, that's done over a data connection be it Wifi or cell. You might get away with disabling sync, then doing manual refreshes to your contacts list every now and again if you intend to scrimp on your data usage. Yup, correct, once you installed Whatsapp, it will be running and you can send/received message anytime as long as Data/Wifi is on. (doesnt matter you disable sync or not). Just hope that it will not take up too much battery (as of now, I dont see any battery drain) and data usage. Cheers. |

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Oct 4 2010, 05:39 PM) I think battery consumption depends more on what you do with the connections. I just know 3G uses more battery than 2G. I recommend all of you use 2G and only turn on 3G if you wants to surf or download data. After surf/download data, switch back to 2G for normal voice/sms call. The reason 3G take up more battery life due to when certain area got no 3G coverage, it will keep on searching for 3G network and this will speed up battery drain.
