I have fallen in love with whatsapp as I use to see my blackberry friends bragging about their black berry messengers (BBM) to chat with their friends, share photos and videos and audio notes while I used my iphone struggling with nimbuzz, ebuddy and other heavy apps to chat with friends.
When I first bought it there were only 3 users in my contact list but now I have 51 and counting.
Since the app is new I was expecting some glitches and yes there are some small ones.
One of them is the issue when connecting through wifi on iphone and ipod touch. It works fine on Blackberry and nokia phones. Most of the time it worked fine but there were times when it tried to connect to whatsapp servers and would go on trying to connect for hours until somehow it catches the connection. Googled it and found the solution in a corner even though I am not sure what the real problem could be.
Enough said, Follow the steps and whatsapp would would work like charm:
- Go to Setting -> wi-fi ->
- Touch the blue button along-side your wi-fi connection.
- Select DHCP.
- Type in the DNS: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
That should solve the problem.
Let me know if you face issues.
For those of you who don't know, whatsapp is a social networking app by which you can chat with your friends, share pictures, videos and audios with them in seconds. Whatsapp finds your friends for you by searching the phonebook contacts. So if a friend using whatsapp is in your phone book, he is in your whatsapp contacts and you can start chatting with him/her. The best part is that your friend could have any smart phone, be it Blackberry, Nokia, iphone or an android.
There are many more advantages which you would get to know when you use it.
After almost an year from your post... THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI remember having this issue; it was really annoying being forced to use the new iPad, only in the same room as my wifi router because of the poor range. After looking for a solution to this issue for quite some of time, I was just about to give up, and RMA the iPad. In the end though, I found a couple of reviews of Pong Research's cases, that convinced me to give it a try. This case is built with an antenna in between layers of the back cover, which redirects and boosts the power of the signal and increases the range of the wifi antenna on the iPad. After getting one, I couldn't be happier with my new toy! This finally fixes my problem with the new iPad 3 poor wifi range . I also enjoy a lot the Origami Smart Cover it comes with, which besides providing the classic sleep/awake function, folds and allows you to stand the iPad on 5 different positions.

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm facing this issue today. It was working fine till the last time, maybe 2 days back, when I used. After I add the DNS entries, it changes from permanently showing as "Connecting" in Network Status to being "Not connected" and showing as "Waiting for network" when I go to my chat window. Your help is appreciated. Close to 3 years from your post and I'm facing the same issue again :D
