I really wonder why when android version has no such limits and im able to scroll through the entire conversation without waiting for cpu/software. Its a buggy software in wp hope they fix this bug soon!!

yeah..exactly.Its a pain to get through the chat history smoothly on WP. On android it doesn't even take fraction of a second to load previous chat pages.What's app on WP need 1000 more updates to catch up with the android version and we're just started.

Too hard?? Take the example of 6tag.Rudy is defying every restrictions of this OS and that too in a speedy way.The thing is most of the devs give their spare time to WP after they are done with iOS and android.

Exactly, I think it all began after they fixed the stupid audio api(atleast it normalized the battery drainage issue, and interfacing with music playback). Now they need to keep adding in features and bugfixes so that we will finally have a stable build in WP8. For now, I would not recommend WP to anyone who's a hardcore Whatsapp user, there are better alternatives(like LINE, Kik, etc).

I have tried letting Whatsapp/WeChat/Skype switched on (at idle, not using them) and off and don't seem to see any difference in battery life.

On a side note. Skype used to be terrible in receiving messages with message either not received by my phone or took hours or days for messages to arrive. But since an update last week, it has been very reliable in receiving messages. Having said that, Whatsapp messages usually arrived instantaneously and the longest delay on Skype now was may be 1 minute instead of hours/days previously.

Has anyone noticed when sending photos via whatsapp, the quality of the photo goes down the drain?? Whenever I send a photo from my 1020 (or even the 920 I had before) the recipient always received a compromised quality photo. Anybody experienced this?

 

[pankaj981]

^^ that's how it works on other platforms as well, videos and photos both quality is reduced to reduce file transmit size

I don't think that is the case with whatsapp on IOS and android.

Yes it is, I tested it now with Android and it also reduces the quality of the images when sent to reduce the size

Both video and images are reduced in size !!!

Whatsapp should accept local payment such as pay with phone credit like windowsphone store did.
In my country(Indonesia) there are a lot of people not using Paypal as primary nor secondary payment.

They want to use whatsapp but they don't know how to pay next year payment. It cause they are move to other "free" messenging eventhough they want still using whatsapp but like I said they don't know about paypal. I feel that because from (around) 60 of my friends, now just left 5 using whatsapp because the rest of them don't know how to purchase via paypal.

If whatsapp accept payment via local credit, even charge it $2 or $3, they (for sure) buy it. There are millions people using whatsapp in Indonesia but they don't know how to purchase it.
So I hope Whatsapp can model what windowsphone store did.

you don't have to pay anything to continue using whatsapp. The subscription renews itself automatically. So whatsapp is actually free.

no it isn't. My brother had to pay, and so did I. We are in different countries, using different OSs, so that didn't make a difference. We waited till the validity date, but it didn't renew. Besides, its only $1 a year, and considering how much we use it, its quite reasonable.

yeap the price is nothing to complain about, too cheap lol
but the way to pay is the problem
eventhough I know paypal is the universal payment in the world but in my country paypal not so popular
hope they can do something about it or they will lost 20 million people in Indonesia

In Indonesia we can buy apps and games windowsphone via local phone credit, supported by 3 biggest networks provider. So no need credit card, debit card, no paypal, just a cash(via phone credits)
