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

Testing right now.. Thnx :)

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

Completely understood, please don't take it as as complaint but as a beta testing report, which I thought it was the point of making an early release, to test it and report issues :)

Still waiting for the source to be released to help out ;)

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

Wow.. It worked great... Now yappari shows me only who use whatsapp.... Thnx a lot... But it is a bit slow, isn't it.....

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

working fine , but still no multimedia msgs? when will we be able to send and receive photos audios?

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

In a couple of months I guess, maybe even more.

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

Superb!
Everything is working fine. Is it possible to use the picture's you already have with your contacts? For example Hermes grabs the pictures from Facebook.

If I find any bugs would you rather have me post them here or in a PM?

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

I use Yappari weeks ago, really good and I'm glad.

But my question: how can I use with "Emoticons" on Yappari?
Only I can saw "Emoticons" from another (send an message to me)

Can someone tell me how?

Thank you!

read the front page :rolleyes:

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

Great update, thanks! What do I have to do to preserve message history from 0.0.16 over to 0.0.18? (Sry when I missed that on pages before, haven't found it)

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

Thanks for the update, now I can send message to anyone in my contact without modification of contact list.

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

Well, I'd like to have it as I travel often. I use a prepaid SIM when in a foreign country. It's a *lot* cheaper to use data plan from a prepaid SIM than to do data roaming. While using a prepaid SIM, unfortunately, most messages only go to my postpaid SIM #. The prepaid SIM # would change over time & I'd prefer not to register it in whatsapp.

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

@Scorpius:

A suggested feature...

I have 2000+ contacts in my phone and they are all in international format. May I suggest that you place a progress bar when doing a sync with whatsapp server?

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

Yappari uses the pictures of your contacts from your address book, so I don't know what you mean.

Don't worry about that. When you click on a contact if it has history you'll see it. When you close a chat the history won't be deleted.

Contacts synchronization should be transparent running in background like in the original Whatsapp application. Contact synchronization can take a long time, if I put a progress bar then you couldn't use Yappari every time it syncs for 5 minutes.

Right now it makes Yappari laggy but the idea is to work on that and fix it so even if the synchronization takes 20 minutes you don't even notice and keep working with Yappari with no issues.

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

Not everyone agrees with you.

Is there any chance that we can all just agree to disagree and you can stop insulting people who have a different opinion to you?

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

Scorpius, maybe it is asked already but is it maybe possible to show only the https-link to a picture in the chat-window?
For now I keep searching in the log-file for urls but it should be easier as it is shown in the chat-window...

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

I just happened to reflash my device 24 hours ago to test CSSU and hostmode-gui on kernel-power-flasher. So I installed everything after reflashing and found that mscim didn't work on yappari again (remember me, Scorpius?). This had happened before with some other apps that I wanted to try (e.g. jspeed, cell-modem-ui, etc), even with mscim-bridge-client-qt4 installed. In order for me to use mscim on yappari, I have to choose not to use those apps, which is fine as they are not critical. So now I'm reflashing again and installing yappari first, then installing other apps one by one to find out which app is crashing mscim/yappari (and I have to reboot after installing each app!). I hope it's not one of CSSU, hostmode-gui or kernel-power-flasher because I really like to have them.

Anyway, the above is just a side story. The following is what I'd like to report.

Since I just reflashed my device, I installed afresh the 0.0.17 deb instead of upgrading from 0.0.16. After installing 0.0.17, I could not register. The progress bar just kept going for 2 minutes, before the main window showed up with the message "The verification SMS was never received. Please try later." showing in the status area. No logs or yappari.conf were created. So I uninstalled 0.0.17, installed 0.0.16, registered, and upgraded to 0.0.17. And things seem to work fine so far.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

contacts doesnt sync. i clicked sync now and it lagged a bit after that but nothing happens. although there are many contacts in my list who uses whatsapp

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

1. Have you reboot after installing Yappari?
2. If your contacts are not in international format, did you use the correct country code while registering? (you might want to recheck your .conf file)
3. Are your contacts using non-digit characters/spaces? (Although this supposed to be supported on this release as well IIRC)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

I updated from v0.0.16 to v0.0.17 today and everything is working as proposed. Good job Scorpius ;)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

Contacts sync works better than the original whatsapp, you rockz man! Thank you very much!!!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

sync work like a dream, but i have a question do we still need to change our contacts to internatiaonal format because after sync some contact didnt appear but when i changed em to international format and re-sync they appeared, do we need to do this again or not?

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

is it safe to downgrade from 0.0.17 to 16? either 17 is doing more stuff in background or the higher memory comsumption is making it being swapped out and is making my phone more laggy

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

If the contact is an international contact, you have to do it anyway. If it's a local contact you don't need to.

If it's a local contact without an area code, you have to at least add the area code.

0.0.17 is not doing anything in the background but it keeps more things in resident memory so the memory consumption is higher. I'm working on optimize that to have the same memory consumption than 0.0.16.

It's safe to downgrade.

People who doesn't agree with Whatsapp principles and STILL want to use it DO have problems. Make your stand and stop using Whatsapp at once!

Yes, I just confirmed registration stopped working in 0.0.17. Thanks for the report!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

For version 0.0.17, is there a significant difference in 3G data usage with the new feature contact sync ?

I didn't upgrade to v0.0.17 yet

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

Depends on the number of contacts. A good number would be the number of contacts you have times 90. So if you have 1000 contacts you'll be consuming ~85 KB every time you connect to Whatsapp servers.

In an official Whatsapp client would be that number every hour, so if you have 1000 contacts you'll be consuming around ~2 MB each day.

I have this idea about "Smart sync" to optimize that a little bit. Something like sync your whole address book once a day, and every hour sync just confirmed Whatsapp users (so people's status would be refreshed every hour). Maybe code a GUI to configure it even more. There are some people that just don't care about people's status and could turn that off or set it like once a day or something like that.

Other people just LOVE reading people's status like every minute and would love to sync even more often than an hour. That's why the option "Sync Now" was added, for those status freaks :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

Great Job Scorpius. Thank's a lot. Sync works very well.

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

It's really needed to insult other opinions and decisions?

Thank you very much Scorpius :) I known there was a good person inside the insulting one XD.


I don't know in your country but in Europe the law consider that a mobile number is a private data. Some business have been fined here after accidentally disclosing mobile numbers of their clients.

How? Do you work at Whatsapp Inc.? The numbers could be linked to other numbers making a social relationship tree. Status messages are recorded too. Images and multimedia are maintained in servers for some time.

With the actual (improved over old one) privacy policy I think that no more data is gotten. But privacy policy could change in the future without notification.

I am sure that it is not my case, but yes, most of young people and lot of older one use it.

Re-read the use terms of whatsapp, you are violating at least one of them.

Thank you again :)

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

If you ever work in a corporation you should know there's not time to do that stupid stuff. That's what I mean when some people have paranoia. They just DON'T DO that, it's a WASTE OF TIME, and that would mean NO REVENUE. Corporations just exist because of REVENUE. A bunch of random phone numbers don't create any REVENUE. NOBODY wants to buy a bunch or random phone numbers even though you think they will. IT IS NOT THE SAME that a bunch of random email addresses (why? "block" is the key word).

Status and images are in the policy. Actually that's the ONLY thing they put in the policy that they save.

There was an effort here to contact Whatsapp and ask them for an N900 version. We did it, they refused it. If they come here today and say "We'll be making a Whatsapp for the N900", I would immediately stop developing Yappari in the spot.

Actually I'm amazed you use Yappari. It could have a backdoor, I could be stealing all your private info and sending it to me. Why are you trusting me but why can't you trust Whatsapp Inc?

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

I think you have the wrong phone, wrong OS and you are in the wrong community. Go and buy a Android phone and get out of here...

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

I have just upgraded to v0.0.17
I noticed that while synchorization if I click "create chat" it closes I think this happens because of high memory consumption plus I have opessh-server which takes huge portion of RAM.

I hope in addition to memory optimization of sync in future releases that you allow sync to be completely disabled.

I have a question. What happens if a contact with same name is saved but with like 2 or 3 numbers fields, which number will receive messages?

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

I don't receive messages since v 0.16. any hint?

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

Please explain me how Whatsapp Inc. get revenue. None of the android users I know payed yet anything (and they use it since more than a year).

In whatsapp is possible to falsify your mobile number. And anybody could add you to his/her phonebook and write you through whatsapp, because you haven't to accept him/her as contact (as other IMs require).


It will be sad for me. I will have to use the last version of any client that do its best for my privacy or not using whatsapp.

Because there is Wireshark for N900 and you want to stay in this community ;)

No I'm sure that I have the greatest phone and mobile OS I could have now. Hope Jolla get us a more modern great phone :)

Now, with contact sync the one registered. Whitout it, you will see the contact two or three times and you won't be able to difference wich is every one.

Upload your Yappari log ( /home/user/.config/scorpius/yappari.log ) to uppit or somewhere and send the link in a private message to Scorpius

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

I also use OpenSSH-server and it never closes when I click Create Chat. I have around 100 contacts though. How many contacts do you have approx?

About the other question, like malkavian says, with Contacts Synchronization only the Whatsapp registered numbers will appear. If you have a contact with two mobiles and both are registered in Whatsapp, then there's no way to know which number will receive the messages so far.

Eventually I'll code something like if you keep your finger pressed above the contact a little menu will appear and will show you the phone number.

I said "eventually"....

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

Very weird you don't know this: Even if you haven't heard of somebody who has paid for Whatsapp service (you must be surrounded of linux/opensource people), it already has sold millions of dollars. MILLIONS. *MILLIONS* (read it again).

It was the top selling application in several countries with revenues even bigger than Angry Birds! YES: PEOPLE PAID FOR IT.

There are 2 billion of Whatsapp messages PER DAY, Whatsapp Inc never reveals the number of users, but it must be like half of what Facebook has... I don't know a single person that uses Facebook and don't use Whatsapp. I actually know a lot of people (from work actually) who uses Whatsapp and will never have a Facebook page...

Just use Google. Example: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/30fd99a2-0...#axzz21W46XTT1

Actually now Whatsapp Inc has a newer strategy that might end without charging anymore: Whatsapp Inc is talking directly with the cell phone companies all around the world to include the software preinstalled in cell phones. Cell phone companies see Whatsapp as a boost of the data consumption, and doing so will really increase the data consumption. Why almost everybody uses Windows? because it's preinstalled in every PC out there. That's the strategy.

People think Whatsapp hurt the SMS traffic but that's not the case, since the great majority of cell phone users have low end cell phones, and just a few percentage use smartphones.

In conclusion, they don't need to sell your number to anyone. They are already millionaires.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

I think, this is the wrong place for discussions like this. Therefore I will come back to the topic, because I need some help: I changed my N900 and flashed an image with BackupMenu. When I am opening Yappari (actually Version), I cannnot connect and shall send my number for registration. After sending the number I have to wait some seconds. Then I get the information, that I have not received registration message. What to do?

And again: Many, many thanks for the development of Yappari. I will donate this work.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.17
 

Acurus_ like somebody said before, registration is broken in 0.0.17. You have to install 0.0.16, register, and then upgrade to 0.0.17.
