"There was a problem trying to request the code."

[NeoGeneration]

After registered and the retrieved the password using yowsup I can't get a simple example to work.

I get "There was a problem trying to request the code."

$w = new WhatsProt($fromMobNumber, $id, $nick); $w->Connect(); $w->Login(); $w->sendNickname($nick); $w->Message($toMobNumber , "This is a test"); sleep (2);

I've printed-r the array from the response and this is what I really get:

stdClass Object ( [status] => fail [reason] => incorrect [sms_length] => 6 [voice_length] => 6 )

[NeoGeneration]

I've successfully sent a message by using commenting some lines and harcoding the password:

    /* $this->_accountinfo = (array) $this->checkCredentials();
    if ($this->_accountinfo['status'] == 'ok') {
        $this->_password = $this->_accountinfo['pw'];
    } */

    $this->_password = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';

So theres something wrong i guess in the check credentials?

Is this API actually working 100%? I'm finding problems everywhere... :S

Sue them and try to get your money back

[NeoGeneration]

Hahaha is not about being like that, I'm just curious, I'm making some tests and things fails, just because of that... whats the actual status? I saw you commenting practically everywhere..

If you find problems this is the place to report them, and if you need bleeding-edge functionality you'll have to check out yowsup. I don't run into problems in WhatsAPI myself, but I also don't really use it that much anymore, I'm currently using WhatsAPINet for my Windows application

'There was a problem trying to request the code.' - Sorry for the stupid question, but isn't the password anymore md5(MACMAC) ? What else is it now? Read that I need to receive a new password via yoswup but how to do that?

[shirioko]

md5(MACMAC) and md5(strrev(IMEI)) have been disabled for a couple of months now. Now you need to request a password through registration. First time you will need to verify using SMS before you receive your password, and after that you will get the password immediately.

@shirioko Sorry I'm new here and have a question...I used $w->requestCode to get a code for my number,then I received a sms,and I registered it.I send message to my brother and friends but after about 20 messages,then I unable to send anymore,and require to request for a code again.So I repeat the steps again...after 20 messages...again..but sometimes I will not receive any sms from whatsapp and unable to register,and have to wait for several hours to request for a new code again. Is there any different to request a password from yowsup and request a code through whatsappAPI? Both need to request new code after send several messages?

Thanks.

That seems to be a known issue that I wasn't able to reproduce myself yet. Kingk100 was passionately working on it

[IreneLing]

@shirioko Known issue?Sounds like it's the way should be,in this case I will have to deal with it.Just curious if I miss anything related to registration before this.Thank you so much.
