Right yous aren't gonna believe this, I have a tune paused about 20 mins and now trying to play it is bringing me into whatsapp but I resumes fine when I press the volume rocker and hit play, so it's not completely scrubbing the song , what's the deal there???

Correct! On my lumia 800, the audio API is no longer messing up with the playing songs !

Lumia 920, it doesn't mess up the song but sometimes if I go into the music app when it's paused and play it,it opens whatsapp,the only way to resume is to press the volume rocker and hit play there

Haven't had this happen to me on my 620

I have noted a marked increase in battery life with the new version, phone was going for 17 hours yesterday since last charge with 43% battery left which is way better than the 12 or so hours I used to get out of a full charge.

I hope the next update gives the ability to choose background wallpaper and faster app loading time on 512mb devices !!

My loading times are a lot better with the current update, but there is still room for improvement. Using a 620

When I hit the volume button, I noticed that the audio API icon showed up, had to restart my phone, and started having whatsapp issues with notifications and warnings leading to app crashing and not opening, it fixed itself after a few restarts. I think they didn't remove audio api completely, it's still there, just operating differently.

So, is there a way to change your Status from "Hey There, I am using Whatsapp" ?

yes. In "chats", the third icon on the menu bar is "my status"

Is there also a way to get my girlfriend's Lumia 800 to work with WiFi instead of only through 3G?

A new update for whatsapp is out:

New Update For WhatsApp




Version
2.10.506.0

 

[Fabrizio Zerlini]

T-Mobile in the Netherlands requires just the word "internet" as APN. That's all I know. Perhaps that'll fix your issue.

Hello both,

It really is an API issue. For some reason the default settings dont work on some cases and you have to set up manually. I did this in my Lumia 820 and it now works flawlessly.

Regards,

Fabrizio

Re: New Update For WhatsApp

I noticed that wpp is more smooth and faster, whatsapp for wp8 is finally getting good..

 

[vitorrloureiro]

anyone encountering notification issues? sometimes they come, sometimes they get delayed for about 30 min

 

[lumiauser]

So any further changes or improvement in version 2.10.506.0 ?

 

[uopjo6]

After the update I had the new icons, though a bit slow in scrolling.
After a while the icons went back to the old one.

Anybody have the same issue?

You need to use the new smiley icon on the bottom right not the one on the keyboard to access the "new" icons
