Doesn't this affect battery life on all devices running official Whatsapp as well?

Not really because now they are not connected all the time. For example Windows Phone doesn't support background sockets, so if you switch to another application it disconnects. They use something called "background push agents" for this, that I don't really know how it works.

I don't know either. But I think both Windows Phone and iOS have some sort of central notification server, so I assume that even if Whatsapp needs a keep-alive every second (or 5 or whatever), it is the server that responds to that. Whenever the client needs anything, the server can wake him up (using a long-lived connection, probably with a wake-up every 10min or so to prevent NAT from killing the connection).

In any case, iDevices, Androids and Windows Phones probably have a much shorter battery life than the N900 (don't have experience with any of those, but friends report charging every night..), so the effect is not so significant..

In any case, Scorpius, you've done what you had to do (read: what people here wanted you to do!

and your new implementation works flawlessly, so no complaints here

Hi

I've had problems with connection in yappari since wednesday. The bug showed is: CONNECTION TIMED OUT.

Please if someone knows the solution, publish it.

He won't be able to help without any further information. Please provide the following:
1. The yappari log file (if you have no idea where that is, then please read the first post of this thread)
2. Whether you have CSSU, and probably which version of it.
3. Which version of yappari are you using (though this one is obvious, however, just to make sure).

Because it also contain your conversation(s) log.
I don't know why it also logs convesation, because Yappari already have dedicated conversation log on /home/user/.yappari/logs
