Hi,

Ever since I'm using CM7 (which is great btw!) I have this strange bug when using whatsapp. When I'm in gallery and send an image with whatsapp it works perfect, but when I then open whatsapp again, it resends that same image. This also happens when i slide the keyboard in or out. Very very very annoying. I have conversations with more than 10 times the same image :(
Cancelling the upload is near impossible, you'd have to be as fast as usain bolt, and I'm not...

Anyone know a solution for this?

Thanks,

Hiskkkei


p.s:

I now see that this is my first post. Stupid. I'll say hi in the appropriate thread, but have to wait 5 mins :( ...

I do have the same bug. I've found a way around it, though. Happens to me not only with images or videos from the gallery, but mp3s from other apps too.

What I do is send the attachment, then as soon as it shows as uploading on the timeline, I start hitting the "back" button till I'm faced with the Homescreen again. I then open Whatsapp the "normal" way, instead of an instance from Gallery.
It then finishes sending the attachment, that is only sent one time, doing this.

It's very annoying but I ended up getting used to the workaround! =)

It's very annoying indeed, but I found that if I send something using the attachment knob in whatsapp, it doesn't happen. It only happens when I use "share" in gallery or astro or some other app. So from now on that's the way to go for me.

Thanks for your help anyway :)
