Tried reinstalling? And what kind of phone number did you fill in at the start of Yappari? Did you use your country's prefix number?

I have no idea what happens if you don't fill it in correctly so I think your best plan is to react to the Private Message Scorpius send you.

this is the output::

Not sure how smart it is to share your IMEI number.

I noticed that some contacts in the original Java port did not show up in the selectable Yappari contact list for me, so i edited the xml file and they showed up just fine.

Does this mean i must choose to run my contacts all either on whatsapp or Yappari ?

That's very crazy. Yappari and Java port are two different programs. Yappari shows you the contacts from your address book that have the phone numbers in international format.

In every version of Whatsapp for any mobile phone (iPhones, Android, etc) you must edit all your contacts. They have to have the mobile numbers in international format.

You should have sent me that through a private message (yes please delete that output in your post).

It says login failed and if your Java port works then it can only be two things:

1.- You registered your Java Port with a different IMEI, but you said it's the same in both.

2.- You typed a different phone number for Yappari than the one you used in your Java Port. Remove this file:
And type it again. Also check in the prefs.xml file of the Java port which phone number you used to register.

Meeeeec! XD. It saves all the phones of contacts you ask for their status messages (it's all of your phonebook the first time) and a lot more information. Go to Whatsapp privacy policy webpage and search there for "The Information WhatsApp Collects". That about your contacts data is on "Log File Information:" part.

Yes, I won't give my phonebook to a business wich uses so bad privacy policy. I prefer to pay for SMSs and phone calls, or talk with people that use google-talk / MSN Messenger / Facebook-chat.

Well, I suppose that I have to remove all the prefix ( "+34" for Spain).

Well, you have not sync now, so you can, but obviously add and option to activate or deactivate that (and something to add or remove contacts manually) will be more work for you. Thank you for thinking about it. I will be safe while Yappari doesn't send to Whatsapp servers any number without international prefix (and while I don't need to add it to the number of a no whatsapp user).

@malkavian Even though I do understand your concern I think it's already too late for you. Your phone number is already in several legit Whatsapp users' phonebooks that have synchronized your name and all your information millions of times with Whatsapp servers already...

Also every time you message somebody is also already too late for you and for that person.

And if you think "ok it's too late for me but let's save my contacts' information". Every one of your contacts just need to be in a phonebook of another Whatsapp user.

What I mean is, if Whatsapp saves people contact information, let me tell you this: they ALREADY have EVERYONE IN THE PLANET then saved. Nobody can escape that. Every one knows at least ONE person that uses Whatsapp.

All numbers are sent with international prefix. Every time you send a message, your number and the recipient's number are sent with international prefixes.

It's already too late for everybody.

If you're so concerned my suggestion is to avoid the software at all costs in any of its forms (Yappari, Java Port, Wazapp, etc) and use another IM.

Hi,
after one day using yappari i can tell that it basically works very fine.
I left it running in behind and used AutoConnect to connect to the internet once every hour and then received the messages that were sent to me.

What i noticed is that sometimes, when i click on the yappari statusbar icon, the program won't open. When checking on the terminal i saw that the program isn't running anymore, although there is still the icon in the statusbar. When starting the program again it continues working as it should and the status bar icon opens the program then.
So i just wanted to let you know that yappari is crashing sometimes, but unfortunately i can't tell you the reason because it happened always randomly.

Cheers,
DerCommander

@DerCommander, thanks for your report. I'm expecting bugs and crashes since it's alpha software. I'm already working in a new version with registration (so more people can use it) and some bug fixes.

I'm also thinking since it's alpha let it write logs in a file like MyDocs/yappari.log so when it crashes you guys can send me that. It'll be a helpful feature that will be turned off when we move to beta/final release.

Well, but I refuse to be set as a user that have given their phone to Whatsapp and to do that to any of my contacts. I have registered with an alias phone from fonyou.com and not with my real phone number. And I asked friends I added in Java Port, to add that number in another contact and not the one with my real number. I want to only add numbers of people that already given their number to Whatsapp inc. If in a future Whatsapp give privacy problems I would be safe, and who nows, maybe I save somebody. I could also try to ask for removing my real number from their databases, as I am not an user with that number and didn't accepted their privacy policy.

Maybe is futile, but I must try.

Yeah, I now, but if no international prefix, number is not synced and then not sent to Whatsapp servers, is it?
