Hi, i have an idea, i tried something, maybe can help someone. i don´t know if other had mentioned this before.
I tried to send other file, example: .doc (word).
I changed the .doc extention by .jpg, the galery show this file like a broken .jpg file, set wazzap to no resize image before send, selec that file and send.
In the other phone, find this file, in the image folder, rename the extention and open.
I tried only with .doc file and work fine.
It just an idea
Sorry for my bad english.

Perhaps I didn't understand what you wrote...

It would be possible to make Wazapp do the rename procedure, add some unique string into the filename if that's not renamed by whatsapp and parse that on another N9. It would only work interwazapp and I don't think filenames are untouched so, nope. Not gonna happen ;-)

Hi N9 fellows, I've been following TMO and this thread every now and then. Started to use Wazapp since August, went through Wazapp breakdown times as everyone here did. My problem was that it always failded to get the registration code on my N9 itself, but I had several successes getting the code from other devices then enter the code on N9, and it worked. I think some users here know exactly what I'm talking about...
But since this big breakdown on Nov 5. I never get back to my Wazapp again. I successfully got the codes from my old phone or my friend's phone, then register with the code on N9, but then it showed "remove your account from the account manager and re-register again", I deleted my Wazapp acount, got the new code and tried again, still it asked me to re-register, and the same thing happened three (or four) times (everytime with a new code)!! Super frustrated...
I updated to the lastest version everytime when it came out. Had deleted everything Wazapp related and reinstall it. Didn't work out.
Please tell me what to do... I don't want to just give up Wazapp with my beloved N9!!!
Thanks in advance!
