Unable to hit "Back up my data" button #2

Closed ssk2 closed 9 years ago

For some reason on both of my Android phones, when I'm prompted to do a Full Backup, the Back up my data button is disabled (see screenshot here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/pushbullet-uploads/udeh2-VV1wXFpTn8IeGNWVzcUqer8foGroELMX/Screenshot_2014-12-08-01-01-24.png)

I tap it and nothing happens. Tapping the "Do not back up" button works fine.

Any ideas why this might be?

Latest versions of WhatsApp have set "allowBackup" to false in the manifest. This will prevent from backing up the key via adb method.

You can use a older version of WahtsApp (crypt7) to get the key, and can use the same key for the crypt8 version of WhatsApp.
