In the mean time I need you all guys to vote for 1.1.40. Even if it still has that little bug of [voice note] instead of [image] when you send one (and should happen with video and audio too), let's vote so 1.1.40 can reach extras and people that are struggling to register can register easily and enjoy Yappari.

Vote here

I would vote.. But I can't for some reasongs log in... : (
Sorry!

And where is the log?

Try first: rm -v /home/user/.yappari/chats.db

If it doesn't work then I need to see the log.

i typed in the string in xterm and this is what I got:

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso31+0cssu0) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ rm -v /home/user/.yappari/chats.db
rm: invalid option -- v
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso31+0cssu0) multi-call binary

Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE...

~ $
Yappari does not start at all so where can I get the log please?

Anyway that's weird, but try:

rm /home/user/.yappari/chats.db

Without the -v option (I thought BusyBox supported but Maemo SUCKS SO MUCH that it doesn't really surprise me)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY

Several times I found Yappari eating the CPU, this happens when my n900 connects to a wifi router I have in bridge mode, that sometimes looses it's connection. In the log file I found the following lines repeating many times:

Code:

Connecting to c.whatsapp.net:443...

There was an IO error: Can't resolve server address (DNS problem?).

Connection closed.

Stopping timers.

Freeing up the connection.

Freeing up the socket.

Yappari will retry the connection in 10 seconds.

Normal. If Yappari detects a connection it will try to connect, but if your connection doesn't really work it'll retry forever eating your CPU. You should address your router problem, which may not support the N900 power saving mode, disconnecting it (this is a common problem, try leaving the N900 without the power saving setting to see if it loses the connection, if it doesn't then it's time to buy another router).

The thing is I don't think I can do anything about it.

If your router supports DD-WRT you should try that with at least kind of recent builds (>19000)

I tried to reproduce this error removing the gateway from the routing table, but the app works as expected. I also look into the source of yappari and I think it may be Qt or Maemo related too. I let you know if I find something, thanks!

Your log shows you're trying too often to register. Just wait the time it tells you to wait and stop trying every minute. Leave it alone for like a day.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY

Scorpius - a question:
it happens very often to me that yappari stops sending messages (the "v" sign stays grey). when that happens, i have to open its main window and press the quit button and relaunch it - then the messages are working again (sometimes for just a short period of time).
It only happens to me when i'm on 3g network - never when i'm connected through wifi.

The 3G network is pretty stable - i don't have any disconnection issues with other applications.

is it possible to add a "reconnect" menu item to the the conversation windows to be used when this happens?

If you quit you lose those messages and have to retype them again. Also a gray check doesn't necessarily means a disconnection, might be a slow connection. Just let it be.

In the meantime, well, just don't send pictures over 700 KB, right?

I recall reading in the Wazapp thread that WhatsApp images now have a size limit of 512KB.

Ah, sounds like only JPEG has the restriction:

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY

I just sent an image of 1.2 MB without any problem at all. Here's the server response:

Code:

Reply: {"name":"99a09045a76d3d16438410016668954e954736bf.jpg","url":"https://mms836.whatsapp.net/d/Am46177dRskY4VM1dQLnbIHuadGG4QBOvJOH69hYNSHv.jpg","size":"1327417","mimetype":"image/jpeg","filehash":"rOD/wMBeC4foXQWa603jK0o5bL55oGdVCvIPwQUhiic=","type":"image","width":"2560","height":"1600"}

But I sent it to a dummy account and I don't really have a way to verify if it's actually received by the other party, but I would expect an error from the servers and I didn't get any.

EDIT: I connected the dummy account and I still don't see any restriction. I received all big images I sent.

http://whitesoft.dyndns.org:2222/whatsapp_sms

It works for Wazapp, so i'm pretty sure, it should also work for Yappari.

What about the log Scorpius (clearly) asked for? There is little point otherwise in responding....

Not here.

You first have to delete your log. Then start Yappari, reproduce the problem (that is, try to send a big image), wait it to fail or something, leave it there for like 10 minutes if it's stuck in the "please wait might take several minutes").

Then upload your log somewhere, pastebin, uppit.com, sendspace.com.

And then post there the link.

Error=1 es "Remote host closed the connection" así que tiene algo que ver con tu conexión. Probablemente usando WiFi no te pase.

Wrong permissions, happens to everybody because they mess with the root account when they shouldn't.

This has been addressed in the thread like a million times:

as root: chown -R user:users /home/user/.yappari

And don't use root unless it is strictly necessary (normal Unix rules).

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY

It would be better if you upload it to a server and send a link to Scorpius in a private message. Now everybody can see wich is your phone number and some of your contacts' ones.

Ofuscate the mobile numbers could be a good idea too.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY

That was a disaster, you should have not posted your log here, I told you to upload somewhere else so please edit your post and delete it.

Anyway the error you're getting is:

Code:

{"error":"Invalid Media Type"}

That seems to be that even though you're uploading a file with extension .jpg, it's not a real JPEG file, and WhatsApp servers reject it because the format (whatever it is) is not supported.

To verify if it's a real JPEG file (example):

Code:

user:/home/user> file MyDocs/DCIM/20131001_001.jpg 

MyDocs/DCIM/20131001_001.jpg: JPEG image data, EXIF standard

EDIT: If you don't have the file utility installed:

Code:

user:/home/user> sudo apt-get install file
