Not right now but soon.

Because of things like that, and things like want to add participants in a group and stuff like that were the reason that I had to implement some contact persistence and that's what I'm working on right now.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Great :)

Yes, it is a privacy violation. Whastapp violates my privacy getting AND saving all my contacts numbers. If Yappari send all my contacts too, sadly, I won't use it (or won't update it). I need something to to tell Yappari I just want to send to Whatsapp Inc. data of contacts I know they are Whatsapp users. If only contacts with the international prefix are synchronized I could somehow control it, if not, I'm f*cked.

Happily someday will be a Wazzap N900 version and it will respect privacy better than Whatsapp. They will add an option to sync only the selected contacts: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1343

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

If you friends have whatsapp, they already have your number uploaded in their database. Nothing you can do about that :(

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

I asked Whatsapp Inc. to remove my number from they databases and they supossely did it.

I registered whatsapp with an alias number from fonyou.com. Not all my 1161 contacts (some repeated or with just email/facebook-chat/gtalk/msn address) uses whatsapp. I just added the ones wich I know they uses it.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Yappari doesn't upload any of your private information to Whatsapp servers. It just queries "what is the status of number +x?" and the server says "status is y" or "user not registered". You can even do it manually using curl or wget. That's not a violation of your privacy, Whatsapp can't save the numbers there's not way to relate them.

And like I told you before each one of your 1161 contacts is the contact of somebody else that use Whatsapp, which is querying those numbers anyway.

Also and as a final note, if you are really making a stand that Whatsapp Inc is violating your privacy then why are you using it? That's double moral standard what you're trying to do (cheating, registering with a fake number, etc). You should try to convince other users not to use it, instead of trying to cheat Whatsapp. Don't you think?

Hey Scorpius.
Thanks a lot for the app
I successfully installed it but when i tried to register it always saying failed but i recieved sms from yappari about the authentication code.
Still the registraytion status is failed.

&
for log, i tried to locate file with 'filebox' but there is no such directory
The Scorpius folder is not present in
/home/user/.config/

Reply Soon

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

The .config folder is a hidden folder so you need some kind of Unix/Linux experience to get into it.

One way is to go to settings in FileBox and check "Show hidden files and folders"

Another way to get it is to open a terminal and type exactly this:

cp .config/scorpius/yappari.log MyDocs

And then a copy of yappari.log will be under MyDocs.

Also check you're running the latest version (0.0.16) because some previous versions had the log somewhere else.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Thanks For Your Reply.
Installed ver. is 0.0.16 Build 1729

here is the xterm response

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Then try this. Open terminal, type:

mkdir -p .config/scorpius

Then try to register with Yappari again and tell me if you see the log this time.

You can also check "Show hidden files and folders" in Filebox so you can browse into .config and other hidden folders.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Yes, this thing worked.
Here's the log file

http://uppit.com/txsxozicbjqu/yappari.log

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

It says you didn't get the SMS in 2 minutes so it timed out. Did you receive it before it timed out?

What does the SMS say exactly?

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

I received sms two days ago when I tried to register for second time after installation.
"WhatsApp code 279"

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

But it only works if you receive it before two minutes after you request it. If you receive it hours later it won't ever work...

So, if every time you try to register you don't get the SMS before two minutes Yappari won't register it. If you receive it later there's nothing you can do, until Voice Method registration is implemented, so you can type the code manually.

ANYWAY: I registered your account manually so you can try running Yappari again and it should be registered already. Try it.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

That means I have to wait till the next release of application?
Thanks for Your responses, I'll wait till the feature to be implemented.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Read the edit: I registered your account. Yappari will ask you for your country code and phone number one last time and then it should log you in.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

I think Whatsapp is not for you!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

@Scorpius:

Did you manage to read my feature request? Regarding Yappari showing all stored/cached conversations so that we can delete them.

Also, can the app do a version check so that users are notified on new versions being made available.

Just asking... Thanks for your efforts...

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

ajack you can delete the conversation through the menu of a conversation window.

You can also go to /home/user/.yappari/logs and delete files individually.

Yappari is alpha. When Yappari is ready it'll be in the repositories so there's no need for an external server to notify about your updates. I do need people read this thread all the time. You guys are supposed to be testers, not users, and this thread is our method for feedback. Yappari shouldn't be used by final users yet.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Yes, I don't mind doing it manually... Didn't know about the logs being kept there...

You have a point about the repos... Thanks. :p

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Scorpius,
Thanks for the great app. I've been using if for the last 2 months and never had any problem.
God bless you and your boyfriend!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

My boyfriend?!? I'm male!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

i have one Q ,,

is there is any way i can copy something from the chat ?
cuz some times i do need to copy a couple of lines !!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Nope, no copy/paste yet.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

I dont much to say besides thank you again.

There are 2: "I'm using Yapari!" which i just found out today :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

wow
I've installed now this app and I say you "Thank you"
My only request is the possibility to send photos!!!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

Sending multimedia messages will take a while to implement. Receiving pictures (without sending) will be implemented soon (in like 2 or 3 weeks).

Right now I'm working in contacts synchronization, after that I'll dedicate exclusively to smileys I guess, and then reception of pictures. Sending them is another topic, which is a little bit complicated (I still have to hack the method of uploading a picture to a Whatsapp server).

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

you are doin a great job pal, much thanx, cant wait for the coming updates.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

If you're wondering how to pronounce Yappari...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CtxW...tailpage#t=17s

When was the last time you had a Yappari moment? :D

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

yes, you do a great job :)
I'm waiting for the future release!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

In fact I can't see all the contacts in my address book who have WhatsApp
I'm waiting :D and thank's a lot!!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

abchobby , you must add the contact in the international phone number format...as in +COUNTRYCODE before the number..

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

For example your friends number would be:

0612345678

Then you would have to change this to:

+39612345678

Not sure if this will change in the future when contact sync is made. I'll leave that for Scorpius heh.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

oh... right!!
I've read about it but I forgot to modify my contact number!!! thank's for reminder me!!!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

I've add the international country code and now I'll see all my contacts!!
thank's

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

I know, i found ruby script for asking about a range of numbers. Whatsapp Inc. does save that data as said in privacy policy, and all the data obtained could be selled in a future. That's a privacy violation and Whatsapp might be banned in Spain because here, Whatsapp privacy policy is incompatible with privacy laws. No way to relate them? I suppose they have a great tree of human mobile relationships.

Maybe, maybe not. I want to do my best respecting my and others privacy. I know my friends don't have that respect for it, but if they throw themselves from a window, I won't do XD.

Because I can use a number not easily related to me (first I tried to register with an absolutely fake number) and add only contacts I knwo use it. If in a future my N900 broke and I have to get and Android, I won't use the oficial Whatsapp client. I prefer to pay for SMSs and continue using only Google-talk (That's what I done until Whatsapp Java por arrived to N900, while friends tell me to buy a new smartphone).

I tried, I even argued in various forums about that and another 15 reasons for whatsapp being worse than other Instant Messengers, being maybe google-talk the better.

But sadly most of my android-user-friends even deactivated google-talk and only use whatsapp.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

You are scared of privacy of whatsapp and yet you use android. :O

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

I don't use Android, selected Maemo :) Did you read google privacy policy? I don't know about Android particular privacy (if it is different from Google general's one). Which are the privacy problems you see on Android?

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

malkavian, I think you should start a new thread against Whatsapp and stop whining about their privacy policy on any developer thread you can find!!!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 

@malkavian if you want to use Whatsapp you should comply to their policy. I should not give you a way to circumvent it. If you feel the friends pressure, then you should just give up.

If I add a way to avoid sync, it'll be just because bandwidth utilization (which is kinda big) not because a privacy violation. There's no privacy violation, Whatsapp is not wrong here, YOU are. The privacy policy says they save the status information, that's it. They are NOT saving who's querying who.

I just don't feel right when you say you want to use Whatsapp under YOUR conditions and not theirs. What's that? If you are a man of principles just don't use it. I'm a man of principles and I don't really want to give you a way to use the service they are giving you for FREE under conditions different than the ones Whatsapp Inc proposed.

If you're concerned about privacy then don't use a cellphone, because every time you make a call your cell phone company will save that number as your contact. Don't use the Internet either, every time you type an URL dozens of computers are saving everything you do. Don't use Google Chrome they save your passwords so if you use Chrome in another computer you don't need to type them, etc.

... and I'm sure after a year you won't pay for Whatsapp anyway so you should just give up now.

Have you ever used an Android? the very first thing it does is synchronize all your address book emails everything with every detail to Google. Nobody cares about that but you.

I might be able to help with this.

@tonypower88 & ahmadamaj: What proxy server do your institutions or companies use?

@Scorpius: Will Yappari honour $http_proxy if it is set?
