how to turn off whatsapp

This post will show you how to force exit or close WhatsApp application running on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and other symbian s60 running phones. 

WhatsApp does not have a logout mechanism. The application is designed to always be connected so that you receive your messages quickly, even when you are not actively using your phone. This is similar to how SMS works and allows WhatsApp messages to be delivered almost instantly.

For those who does not have a data plan, running WhatsApp can be very expensive. It is also drains battery pretty fast while the application is running in the background. WhatsApp cannot be turn off. The "Exit" button in WhatsApp does not turn the application completely off. It will seems like it is turn off but it is still running in the background. WhatsApp will always maintain connection (by force!) by going through your available 3G, EDGE amd WIFi connection presets to connect without notification.

This is how i force exit or close WhatsApp from running (even background process) on my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

1. Install NetQin Mobile Guard 3.0 for Symbian and run the application.
2. Click on OS Scan and NetQin will display a report after scanning your phone.
3. Go to "Auto-start apps" to disable WhatsApp from auto start whenever the phone restarts.
4. Go to "Memory usage" to close currently running WhatsApp application.
5. WhatsApp is now completely turned off. 

Another Way: (working and tested)

1. Another way around is go to "Boot Manager Icon"
2. Disable the WhatsApp from there.
3. When you restart your phone you will find it disabled.
4. Turn off WhatsApp: Web Manager > connected apps > Options > Disconnect (or tap WhatsApp > Yes)
5. Each time you want to close the whats app you can disconnect it from the network like these steps.

To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Service Manager or Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

3. Right-click the Web site on which you want to install the certificate, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Directory Security tab, and then click Server Certificate under Secure Communications to start the Web Server Certificate Wizard.
5. In IIS 6.0, click next. If you are running IIS 5.0, go to   step 6.
6. Select create a new certificate and click next.
7. Select Prepare the request now, but send it later and click next.
8. Type a name for the certificate. You may want to match the certificate name to the name of the Web site. Now, select a bit length; the higher the bit length, the stronger the certificate encryption. Select Server.
9. Gated Cryptography if your users may be coming from countries with encryption restrictions.
10. Type your organization name and the organizational unit (for example, PLM and IMS). Click Next.
11. Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or the server name as the common name.
12. Enter your location information, and then click next.Type the path and file name to save the certificate information to, and click next to continue.

Submit a certificate request

1. Open a browser and browse to  : http://YourWebServerName/CertSrv/
2. Click Submit a certificate request by using a base-64-encoded CMC or PKCS #10 file, or submit a renewal request by using a base-64-encoded PKCS #7 file. In Notepad, open the request document that you created in the "Create a certificate request" section. In IIS 6.0, you can also click Browse for a file to insert.
3. Copy the contents of the document. The contents should resemble the following:
   -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
