Hi guys, I have a question.
What would be the steps to fix the media file issue if I am already using the android whatsapp?

We spoke about that several times you can search and read
It just link to another location for read & write become possible for WhatsApp

Hi all BB10 users,

I am blackberryIRAN user.



Is the question ‘What next?’ once native BB10 WhatsApp app stops working! post Jun 30^th, 2017
Attachment 423406

Worrying you!?
Also the WAAFixer is not working so well in the area of media sharing. So what can be done?



Fear Not! . The below mentioned fix will help you in solving media sharing issues present when using WhatsApp android app !.

best Video tutorial :



This looks complex, but it ISN’T. This fix is pretty SIMPLE!. Just follow the steps!

Be careful and make a backup from your chats in bb10 whatsapp and save it in other folder for restore it in android ver if you need them
i am not responsible for lose your chats

Suggestion: Don’t waste your money in buying third party apps when this issue can be fixed 100% for free !



If it works, please LIKE this post



Prerequisites:
1. Add a microSD card to your phone. If you don’t have, please buy one as this is a MUST for this fix to work!


2. Enable the developer mode on your BB10 before proceeding with this fix.
Settings > Security and Privacy > Development Mode
Turn it on, provide the password.


3. Download and install BGShellPlus or BG Shell from Blackberry World.
(This is a command line editor. You can use any other app which has ssh editor.)
Recommended bgshellplus:http://appworld.blackberry.com/webst...ntent/19204890


4. Download and install official WhatsApp android app on your BB10
Link: https://www.whatsapp.com/android/


5. Keep your phone in ‘Airplane Mode’ to avoid someone sending you message on WhatsApp during the fixing.



Known missing features:

1.Maybe You cant crop or resize your video by the whatsapp (also maybe you cant send video recorded by camera) however you need to change format or resize ( less than 16mb for official & less than 30mb for GBWhatsApp ) your videoes with another app like Video Converter or shrink for video in BlackBerry World they both free for video less 30 s or
Video compress apk its free and works perfectly on bb10 with no time limit !
Video.Compress for bb10 trusted 3.7.04


All other features work great in all versions without any problem


Note: I have tested this fix with developer mode and debug mode on.
Thanks to Ajith Raveendran. He has confirmed this even works when the developer mode is turned off!



If you need more information on how to create symbolic link read this post check the links else lets begin fixing! :

(Thanks you doctor-iddqd for make me aware about the availability of SSH on BB10 phones)



Please follow the steps carefully as mentioned below :


Step 1:
Go to microSD card location from File manager app and create a new folder named: (keep the "A" capital)



Step 2:

*Updated*

Force close the WhatsApp which is currently running on your BB10. You can follow the two steps mentioned below:
Got to Settings > App Manager > Device Monitor > WhatsApp and click the blue ‘Close’ key on the bottom of the screen. This should close the WhatsApp app (Don’t open WhatsApp until you finish with this fix!). (Thanks Jenserm for this)

Else, another way to do this is:



Install Android Assistants
Download : Link (or download it from any android appstore)
Open it : Go to WhatsApp and long press on it, select ‘Details’ and click on ‘Force Stop’. This should close the WhatsApp app (Don’t open WhatsApp until you finish with this fix!)

Step 3:
- Use File Manager app: Go to below mentioned path and find the folder by name ‘WhatsApp’.
Path: misc/android


- Then ‘Move’ (not ‘Copy’) the folder to the newly created folder Android on your external microSD card.
Attachment 423221



Step 4: Final Step
Open BG Shell Plus app and enter the below mentioned commands one by one:

$ pwd

Here you will see the path address for BG Shell Plus folder. You need change it.

$ cd /accounts/1000/shared/misc/android

Check the directory once again:

$ pwd

If you see /accounts/1000/shared/misc/android, then run the last command:

$ ln -s external_sd/Android/WhatsApp WhatsApp

Be careful its Ln -s ==> l=L ln means link
Not in -s

Done! Now you can send media to your contacts with WhatsApp android app !

Video tutorial for anyone if needed. :




Note:
Turning off the phone or uninstalling or updating the app ?doesn’t remove this fix .
Plugging out SD card and reinserting it and video calls and voice calls must be tested.
by dear kksirur88 testing
all features including voice call and video call works fine.
also I test Plugging out SD if U reinserting it again not affect

This fix also work for GBWhatsApp or WhatsAppplus
By changing the name of destination folder in the SD card from ‘WhatsApp’ to any named folder like ‘GBWhatsApp’ or ‘etc’
Links for these apps:
Download gbwhatsapp for Android apk last version
https://www.official-plus.com/
https://www.whatsmods.net/
if u installed GB you must type this commend instead :

$ ln -s external_sd/Android/GBWhatsApp GBWhatsApp

If you go right ,Gbwhatsapp work great without camera problem
Attachment 423644

Again I suggest don’t waste your money on buying Nemory WhatsApp or other paid apps. They charge you $$$ for nothing!
Use free apps like GBWhatsApp and WhatsApp+ for more features like theming.



The article and the instructions are for free use please don’t use it to sell your apps!

So so thanks from kksirur88 for spend time and make article clear

Boomberang crashes when the app attempts to write the clip you just recorded. Maybe if we can move it to SD card it wont crash anymore

I tried this method... but when i open status ... it affects my camera and says "camera couldn't be started"....

I installed Boomerang in my android phone then understand where it saves files, and go to my sdcard and create a Boomerang folder in my pictures folder same as android phone
But I try several time but don't create a true link
Link create but cant recognized where is other location....I have android rar for winrar and use file manager of that and easily can delete links,
I Tried this commands
$ cd /accounts/1000/shared/
$ ln -s external_sd/Pictures/Boomerang photos/Boomerang
Link create in photos but incomplete
I delet again and tried
I use this command
$ ln -s external_sd/Pictures/Boomerang misc/android/Pictures/Boomerang

Because pictures in android folder is photos in home file manager ,they are one folder

Again link create but incomplete

Can you try:

$ cd /accounts/1000/shared/misc/android/
$ ln -s external_sd/Pictures/Boomerang Boomerang
OR this one instead
$ ln -s accounts/1000/removable/sdcard/photos Boomerang

I believe this process will help us solve many issues with app running on top of the android runtime

[Wolfgan]

What, I understand who is he
But he ask a question and no one answered

Yes, my question was directed to DK to see if a workaround exists that they may incorporate on the Whatsapp android version.
But thanks for the replies anyways!

Boomerang folder location is in photos folder in home or pictures in misc/android folder
These commands are unusable
I tried a lot of commands but no results, no complete link created.

I think its because of pictures folder and photos folder both are same and both are a kind , linked .
And perhaps reason is we cant make link in a linked folder .

The actual video is 6minutes long. And you can edit the length of the video on WhatsApp itself. Otherwise it will send only limit 45seconds of video.
