I've found a small issue - if the status menu is restarted, yappari's icon disappears from it and the only way to make it work again is to kill it from console and restart it back again.

Sometimes the UI gets stuck and killing its processes is required.

Since I bought the N900 years ago I haven't ever feel the need to restart the status menu. Why are you doing that?

When the Yappari applet is loaded its mode is always hidden. Only the Yappari application can make it show itself. If you restart the status menu, you'd have to run Yappari again (so the main window appears), go to the menu, press Quit, and then run it again. You don't need to kill it, thought that works too.

You should never restart your status menu. If you're doing it often, then you have an application that's faulty, locate it and uninstall it.

Or you can do it with filebox.... Install filebox and go to this folder, delete it and re-register to yappari.......

Scorpius 2012-07-17 17:47

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
He needs to enable "Show hidden files & folders" setting in filebox to do that.

"Optimize N900" app restart all the hildon ui (don't remember now the name of the process) and other procecesses. It solves partially the problem of N900 being slower after some days of use. But it solves the problem (at least for me) just for some hours. And the problem is most probably due to swap fragmentation. We are improving solutions for swap fragmentation and they are working fine :).

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

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


http_proxy with username and password authention

If you don't send me the logs I can't help you.

If you don't know how to send the logs, you shouldn't be using Yappari.

Well it seems you tried already to register that number way too many times.

You have to wait like 24 or 48 hours to try again.

You can't register the same number in two different devices in the same day, or week, or month (I forgot).

Just like you uninstall any other application in the N900. Go to the Application Manager and uninstall it.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
I'd like to add something, I have said it several times in the thread but people just don't listen:

You CAN'T use the same number in two different platforms. Don't register in Yappari, then boot to Nitdroid and register again using Whatsapp, or take the SIM out to another phone and register it, and then go back to Yappari.

If you do that you will GET BANNED from Whatsapp and you'll have to send them an email crying all over it to get unbanned.

If you're getting errors that you tried to register too many times, you might be already banned. You might have to wait a whole month to re-register, or you might have to send an email to Whatsapp.

So please, if you're gonna use Yappari, JUST USE YAPPARI AND NOTHING ELSE. DON'T USE ANOTHER FORM OF WHATSAPP WITH THE SAME NUMBER.

814d3 2012-07-20 22:46

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
So what's the difference in deleting yappari.conf to re-register and to register again with a second app/device? Or is it the same and shouldn´t be done too often?

Scorpius 2012-07-20 22:53

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
It's NOT the same.

When you start Yappari and there's no yappari.conf then it first asks Whatsapp server if you are already registered, using your phone number as login and the IMEI crypted as a password using the "Nokia S40 method". If it's already registered then it doesn't try to register it again.

If you register again with a second device/app, it will ask the same question, but with a different password (IMEI is encrypted differently in Androids, Symbian Anna/Belle, Symbian S40, iPhone, etc). Since your password will be different, Whatsapp servers will reply that you're not registered and ask for a new registration. You can do that only once a month.

So far a Nokia S40, Yappari and the Java Whatsapp port uses the same IMEI encryption method. I don't have a clue what's the Android encryption method or the iPhone encryption method.

Why would anyone want to use the same number in two different devices anyway? If I have two phones, then I have two different SIMs!

I just don't get people sometimes...

figaro 2012-07-21 04:27

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
What if I want to temporarily use different SIM to my N900 (with Yappari already installed and registered with the current SIM number)

Are there any precaution step I need to do to ensure that Yappari would still be working properly next time I switch back to my current SIM? Or simply by not running Yappari when I'm using different SIM is enough?

Scorpius 2012-07-21 05:23

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
Just don't start Yappari while you're using a different SIM.

SimplyDan 2012-07-21 07:28

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
well.. i feel it touched :P, my yappari was working fine, the problem with me was... i can not send normal SMS to other phones, since i come back to Perú from BOlivia and of course i change my Bolivian's SIM for my Perú SIM, idk why.. since i change phone in x terminal ( i dont remember how i just did), so i just decided to uninstall yappari and try send SMS but its the same.. i still cant send normal SMS =).
conclusion im screwed :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
SimplyDan, (this is kind of off topic though) you must had been messing with the SMS settings.

Go to Conversations menu, click on Settings and check that the SMS center number is "Use from SIM Card". That's assuming your cell phone provider set the correct number in your SIM Card.

If it was user defined then you need to look for the SMS center number of your cell phone provider and set it there to make it work.

Hi Scorpius,

I registered my phone on Nitdroid and now I am try in Maemo. Would it work fine if I uninstall Nitdroid or I need to send an email to Whatsapp?

I get the same error as mentioned above.

Scorpius 2012-07-21 09:00

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
Nope it won't. It wouldn't matter if you uninstall Whatsapp in your Nitdroid (or the whole Nitdroid for all that matters). The damage was already made.

I guess you need to send an email asking to unblock your account or wait until the first days of the next month.

Scorpius 2012-07-22 04:53

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
Ok, here's an EARLY release of Yappari. There are several things that didn't work that I had to disable, and the things I left in this release have some issues too.

That's the reason it has took me a while.

But I wanted you guys to test this release and get a preview of the contact synchronization.

Features:

* If the sync is fully enabled, It will sync every number no matter if it has dashes, parenthesis, spaces or if it's local or international.
* You can read the status of your contacts in the contact list.
* Also you can see their pictures.

Known Issues:

* Automatic sync is disabled in this release (why?, keep reading).
* Contacts will be only sync'd when you connect to the Whatsapp servers or when you click on Sync Now
* Yappari lags a little bit when contacts are sync'd. This irritates me and I'll do my best to fix it.

If you have one of those weird phobias like paranoia or persecution phobia you should go to a doctor but to avoid a panic attack in the meantime you can add this exact line to the yappari.conf before starting this version:

(NOT RECOMMENDED TO MOST PEOPLE):

Code:

sync=intl
That will make Yappari only load the numbers in international format from your address book and sync those. Also numbers must have a plus sign and only digits, no spaces, no dashes, no parenthesis, etc.

Even though there are some people here that will claim contacts synchronization is a privacy issue, it is not. No private information is uploaded to Whatsapp servers. The numbers in your address book are queried in a pseudo-anonymous fashion (they could link them to you by your IP address but I'm sure they don't do it). It is safe. The names are not uploaded, nor any other information like email, pictures, etc. Also remember that if a number is in the address book of a legit Whatsapp user it'll be queried every hour so it's very useless for you to avoid querying the ones that are in your address book.

Also you'll be amazed that +95% of your contact list uses Whatsapp.

You can also load Yappari once, let it sync, and then quit it and put the line above in the config file. This will work a little different: contacts that have been reported as Whatsapp users will be sync'd forever in addition of the new ones you include using international format.

The deb:

http://uppit.com/evgjyn5qsrsr/yappari_0.0.17_armel.deb

Lemme know how it goes. This release could have several bugs so I'm not updating the first post until I get some feedback from you.

figaro 2012-07-22 05:52

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
Cool. Testing it right away.

BTW I recall that you stated that Yappari use Other Notifications settings for its LED.
Will you consider to change it to IM Notification LED instead? Thing is, I use Opera a lot, and for unknown reason Opera also use Other Notifications when there's an active connection. So I need to disable the entire Other Notifications LED.

Or maybe you can let users choose their LED preferences (or disable entirely) using the .conf? That would also be nice.

llucax 2012-07-22 06:02

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
Seems to be working here. It takes a lot of memory and time to start but then it works well and the resident memory usage is not that high.

Good work!

BTW, only new features were disabled, right?

Scorpius 2012-07-22 06:03

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
Sadly I can't. Maemo has something I hate called libhildon-plugins-notify-sv.so which is not open and it takes care of the LED and sound part of the notifications using groups called "categories".

Maemo defined categories are "chat-message", "sms-message", "email-message", etc. The category is linked to the LED notification group and can't be changed. Yappari defines a new category called "yappari-message". Since it's not a predefined category, it uses "Other Notifications" for the LED settings.

If the Yappari notifications have the "chat-message" category (that's what you want) the icon will be the envelope and some other settings already chained to that. You'll lose things like notifications attached to the window, which is very important.

There must be a way to disable the LED notification INSIDE the Opera application.

If there's not, what you can do is verify the file /etc/hildon-desktop/notification-groups.conf and see if Opera has defined a group there. If it does, delete the "LED-Pattern" line in the Opera section, reboot, and see if it helps.

Yes, of course.

Actually I didn't notice the high CPU during sync and kinda high resident memory so I guess I'll work on that for the next release.

Anyway like I said it's an early release so it's supposed to suck a little bit.

Unfortunately it seems that I can't find either of them. But that's okay, I can live with it :)

Back to Yappari. Contact sync works perfectly now. Yes it does hang the application during sync, but it only take a few seconds and I don't see any reason (at least for now) to force it to run automatically.
I mean, I can just sync it manually every time I add new contact, and that's it. No need for unnecessary hangs like if it's run automatically every now and then.

One thing I notice, the old chat logs are not synced with the main window. So I still cannot see my old chat history. Is this the expected behavior (for this version) or not?

Scorpius 2012-07-22 06:49

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.16
 
Well you also need to sync manually if you want the status of your contacts refreshed. That's the main reason for synchronization (to get other people's status).

Open chat windows persistence is not implemented yet, but it will be for 0.0.18.
