troubleshoot BHIM

To ease cashless transactions across the country, Govt. of India released BHIM application in a recent event. The app stood as the most downloaded app in the Google Play Store in a short period.

People facing a lot of technical issues while trying to register their bank accounts through the app and also because of a sudden spike in downloads the server itself causing connectivity issues.

The most common issue people are encountering is “device binding failed.” Few people are getting other error messages such as transaction declined message, unable to generate OTP message while using the BHIM app.

Few of the above-listed issues are associated with poor server connection, and sometimes corrupted configuration itself can cause the above-mentioned errors. So we can’t do anything on the server side, but following the below procedure, we can overcome few problems while using BHIM app.

First, you need to log out from the BHIM application. If you can’t log out from the app, go to Settings>Applictions option on your Android phone and find the BHIM app from the installed apps list. Clear data for the app.

Now place another SIM in the first slot of your dual SIM phone and use the second number to configure the BHIM app. Make sure to have 3G, 4G or WiFi, and the BHIM application needs at least 3G.

Whatsapp SMS Authentication now became easy

Whatsapp SMS Authentication now became easy with the latest change. Whatsapp tweaked its SMS authentication system while setting up the account on the new phone. This tweak helps us in the following scenario.

Imagine that you two phones. One is 1234 and the second one is 5678. Consider that your primary number is 1234, but you are willing to use Whatsapp on 5678 number phone.

So in this case, if you are setting up Whatsup on 5678 phone with 1234 as the primary number, when you entered 1234 as your Whatsapp account number the account verification SMS will be delivered to the first phone and the 5678 phone right now you are using fails to auto verify the code. Alternatively, you have to wait for 3 Mins time to verify through a phone call.

The latest Whatsapp verification tweak stripes away the whole problem. Irrelevant of what number you are using right now on your phone, Whatsapp provides “verification code box” immediately along with auto verify mechanism. So just you need to enter the verification you got on your primary phone instead of waiting for Phone call verification.

This tweak will be more helpful for those who are using dual-SIM phones and maintaining two separate phones.
