Hey guys,

So I just got my S4 and already ran into a problem. WhatsApp doesn't want to connect; I've been trying to verify my phone number with WhatsApp all day. Every time it says that it cannot connect with the internet. This is a bit odd because: (1) I know I'm connected to the internet (Chrome works fine and the wireless works on my N7 and laptop), (2) it wont let me verify by a phone call either and (3) using data does not work either. I've tried re-installing (multiple times), turning my S4 on and off, turning airplane mode on and off and every other thing that I could find online. Nada. Nothing. Still won't connect.

Anyone know what might be going on? Thanks.

Could it be possible that part of their service may be down? I would try contacting their C.S. if possible

Try to clear cache

Tried clearing the cache already. Still not working. It might be down but if it is I couldn't find anything online about it. I'll try to give their CS a call but was hoping someone here might know what's up. I thought I possibly had to change a setting or something because when I tried to download a language pack for SwiftKey, it wouldn't let me. Reminds me of not having the proper ports forwarded on a computer almost.

[blonde girl-eye]

If u have any problems at vedification... do clear at first the contact-memoy and stop it !!! The communication between wa and andriod isn't (its!!!) problematic. If its doesn't work.... be fastest!!!

[Lucy Davies]

Had trouble with my what's app too but it's done now & had a message come up saying it was free then after the year it's 69p a year. Is this true as I thought it was free no matter what? Confused.

Hi,
While I type my phone number for the verify for whats App in my Android HTC Chache. The numbers are not entering properly..especially I can't type the number 1 (One) while I type 5 it comes 8 (Eight), while I type 3 it comes 7...like that...

So , please help me to verify my number on whats app

Thanks,

Reji

I also facing the same problem in my HTC Chache

[Keyshia Understanding]

Hey Guys, I tried all the available options on the forums to get my whatsapp running on my Samsung Galaxy S4 but none worked for me. Finally I tried my own way which worked for me. Try if this works for you guys as well.

1. Once you get the Verification failed message
2. Clear cache, Clear Data and Uninstalled WhatsApp
3 Fresh Install WhatsApp again
4 Reboot the Phone
5. Important, Remove Sim Card Turn Off Mobile Data, Connect to WiFi (if available or try with 3/4G)
6. Start doing the normal procedure to run WhatsApp eg, Agree Terms and Conditions
7. Once the download started which normally takes 4mins or so, let it run close to 3 Mins or more and then remove the battery
8. Wait for a min then put back in your SIM Card and turn on the mobile
9. Navigate to WhatsApp again it will continue from the point where we removed the battery and it would hopefully send you SMS and a URL once the download completes to confirm Mobile Verification

Good Luck

[Tagir Taring]
