i don't have a big consumption, but i realized the fact that we're the only persons who are online all the time... is it maybe possible that this will be fixed that we are just shown as online when the app is open and not when it runs just in the background?

Edit: just to be sure i make myself clear.. Whatsapp takes into account the device IMEI during login and not the sim card presence. And as it can use wifi to send and receive messages, sim card is actually not needed for anything but receiving the sms during register (and 3g, if you really need it)
just to share that this is not true for symbian belle. Whatsapp on my N8 require a sim card to initialise. Once initialised, you can use wifi to send and receive and remove the sim card.

once the app is running in foreground or background you will be shown online as the app is on, quit the app to go offline.

why would you want it running in the background doing nothing but consuming power.

What do you mean with "Initialise"? Is the simcard needed even to open the app itself? Then I guess it's a "drawback" Android version doesn't have, otherwise you wouldn't be able to use whatsapp on android emulators on a pc.

Just in case, What I meant on my post is the following:

1) You turn on the phone with simcard inserted.
2) You open whatsapp and register through sms or whatever you want.
3) You turn off the phone and remove simcard, then turn it on again.
4) Use whatsapp as usual, through wifi only, since 3g/2g/H/Gprs need the simcard.

Of course, doing this would allow you to use the simcard in another phone, while still using ONLY the first phone to use whatsapp. However, if what you say it's true, i don't see why it would need the simcard just to open the app.

I don't see it as a bug or something to fix, but as a fact.. if you have the app running on the background is because you're "online" at the time.

As you've been told, "Quit" the app when you won't use it, and the consumption will be gone, that's a exclusive feature wazapp provides.

It's not doing "nothing", it's open so you can get new messages, that's why you appear as online. If you quit the app, you won't get any messages until you open it again, at least that's how i see it, correct me if i'm wrong.

@Faku1810
My point was what would be the purpose of having the app offline running in the background it would make no sense. You have taken it upon yourself to answer (out of context) a question which was only ment to make Snooky think.

Yes, it's better to be shown online! I was just wondering if this could reduce the power consumption. I mean: If we're aways online, does it means that we're aways having communication? If not, fine! But if yes, it's not so efficient, right?

The whole purpose of being on line is so the app can communicate.
The fact the app is on in the background would mean it is consuming power, if you have battery usage installed you can check and see what the consumption is.

@jpetrise, Oh, i see... sorry, i didn't realize that was your intention. And yeah, i have a bad habit of sticking my nose.. My apologies.

@Brudhu, just like jpetrise said, the way the app works is indeed efficient because it allows you to stay communicated as long as you don't quit the app.

it was not my intention to attack you, there is no need for a apology if anything i should apologise to you which i would like to do for my abrupt tone.

The battery consumption thing is probably one of the things Wazapp manages best, if you check your average idle consumption using the Battery Usage App you will see that Wazapp hardly even increases the Idle.

Maybe by 2-3mA which is not gonna affect your daily run time, maybe reduce it by 10-20 minutes or so.
