Nimbuzz push notification update

YOU asked we listened! [download Nimbuzz for iPhone]

While the next BIG update for Nimbuzz for iPhone is still in the works, we decided to release a smaller, but very useful update for all our users.

The badge push notification feature is available on the iPhone. Now you can close Nimbuzz on your iPhone and select to remain online via the push notification. Whenever you receive a chat message a badge will appear on your screen telling you the name of the person and the beginning of the message.

There are times when I receive a new message but I don’t know from who it is, and to be honest I don’t want to open the application in the middle of the movie or a game just to read some random message. That’s why I love this new update, now I can choose when to reply and when to continue to watch the movie !

[Update]

If you are looking for cheap international calling from you mobile and you end up here , I would like to introduce you also to NimbuzzOut. NimbuzzOut lets you make incredibly cheap international calls from your mobile, to landlines and mobiles anywhere in the world. To see how cheap it is and how much you can save take a look at the NimbuzzOut Rate Calculator .

If you want to connect with us you can find us here: Twitter, Facebook and Blog!

Thanks for your feedback and enjoy the new feature!

Please add this “push notification” feature to the Symbian version too.

The link takes me to the old version with just 30 mins of push.

A big update for symbian and java mobile would be nice… Sigh

@All This is only the first upgrade to the Push Notification feature and it is Apple only at the moment.

However, we are working continuously on making this feature even better and the next improvement are already underway, stay tuned – also all you Symbian fans out there!

Glyn August 7th, 2009
Atleast the Nimbuzz Version 2.0.3 limited to bugs. Which was nice indeed. Thats was a great version compared to the older. This version was an answers to our problem. But i know there’s on going work still, and the team seems working hard on it. Every new has version has an improvement, hope for the next…

Anonymz03* August 8th, 2009
I agree with others, would be great to see a part of the message on the main screen of the N97 too! Also for s60v3 .

Jaimietje August 8th, 2009
Is the time also longer than 30minutes or do we need more patience for that?
Thnx

Jru August 9th, 2009
@Glyn
The update has been done on our side, you do not need to update the application to update the Push Notification feature.
Let us know if you have more questions.
@Jru
We are still working on increasing the time period to stay connected.
We cannot provide you with an estimate date for that to be updated since we are still working on it.
Thanks & Regards

Are there any plans to support group messaging, like with Windows Live Messenger? This is the only feature missing from this app that made me have to look for other apps. I really like the look and feel of Nimbuzz, but I find I need to use that feature fairly often, and its absence is definitely noticed.

Meg August 11th, 2009
It’s very usefull

Minhthao August 11th, 2009

Thanks for your interest.
We do have the group chat feature for Nimbuzz Mobile and PC client. To try it you just need to go on your contacts and press “start group chat”.
Do you mean something different from the one we have?
Please let us know and we will come back to you.

Sorry I didn’t clarify. I have the iPhone version of this app, and I am trying to work with my Windows Live contacts. I am unable to start group chats from what I can see. I assume this feature isn’t available in the app yet. So if this is correct, are there plans to add it for the iPhone client?

Meg August 11th, 2009
@Meg
We do support Windows Live Messenger chatting and calling.
Make sure that you have your windows Live Messenger account registered under your Communities.
Are you able to see your Windows live contacts?
Click on an IM buddy from your contact list and choose Start Chat. This will open a chat window into which you can type. Choose Options and click OK to send your chat message.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Regards

Queralt August 12th, 2009
Just to confirm – does Nimbuzz now allow you to stay logged in and visible to buddies from all of the different protocols indefinitely, rather than the previous 30 minutes? And does it ork on the iPod Touch (first generation) for chatting (text only – I know it won’t work with voice)

? I’d like to be sure before I spring for an OS upgrade since this is the only app I’d be doing it for

Cheers,
Mark

Mark Hodge August 14th, 2009
@Mark Hodge
The Push notification allow you to stay up to 30 minutes online running on the background for all communities except for Skype due to some technical limitations.
We are working on both:
-increase the time you can be online
-make push notification for Skype possible
It will work on your iPod Touch as long as you have the latest Apple OS update installed.
Let us know if you have more questions.

Regards!

Hi, the update doesn’t work so well, when you receive a message sometimes it doesn’t says from who it is and if you open the app to reply the message, it apears something like name%address.com and you can’t reply it so you have to close the window and open a new one, also the picture that you can upload from you is not shown to your contacts, your chat windows are not saved and you cannot send files, also is to slow to re open athe app nd sometimes it never does. This app needs an urgent update, it’s been a month since the last update, I wrote to nimbuzz and never got a reply from them

Daniel September 5th, 2009

Hi I have a problem with the notification!! I can’t get any messages or people aiming me at all. I have all my notification turned in but it just doesn’t receive anything from anyone. I can send it to them an they receive it but when it cones to them writing back I don’t have nothing!! I wrote in here couple times regarding this problem but no one seems to reply back, why’s that?

Pak October 11th, 2009
@Pak
To have the push notification you need to make sure to have the latest OS update (3.0 OS) and to activate your notifications on your iPhone settings as well. Please remember that on Nimbuzz you have a push notifications of 30 minutes and after it you are completely off line to your friends.
If you have checked it all and your notifications still don’t work please check if there are any particular community which you don’t receive messages from or if you have problems with them all.
Let us know and we will check this as soon as possible.
Kind regards.

Nimbuzz Support October 12th, 2009
Yes I updated my itouch with the 3.1.2 software and I turned on all my notifications in my settings and it shows that it’s on but somehow I still don’t receive anything from my contacts. I use msn on nimbuzz and the first time I installed it into my itouch it worked well but after a day or two it just stopped reciving messages. I can still send them messages and chat but they can’t do the same to me. What is wrong?

Pak October 13th, 2009
I am running nimbuzz on iphone 3.1.2 and i have an iphone 3GS . I have push notification on and my settings to stay on for the 30 minute duration however when i close the app and go to something else my buddy shows me that i go completely offline on all communities: aim,yahoo,msn,gtalk,facebook and myspace. Is this a new issue?

I have the same problem with the push notification like Ali, so the Stay Online setting doesn’t work for me either.
I am really looking forward to the bugfix for that.

But just to give you guys a different feedback:
i would prefer if u would stick with the design/layout of Apple Messages.

And it is a shame that the history of a chat is gone if you close the app.

still a great tool. the best one i tried so far.

luhn October 30th, 2009

But I have no idea how to start a text. Or is there that feature at all?
I’m using a 3g iPod Touch.
And how can I send videos and music?
Also, when someone sends me a chat and I’m not on the app, will a window pop up showing it?

Please help.

Thanks.

In regards of your questions:
We do not support sending texting or SMS messages. We are considering this option in the long term.
You can send files to your Nimbuzz contacts, select the contact tab on his profile and tab on send video/file
The Push notification is currently being fixed, but will be working fine in the upcoming release.

I have another question.
Can I call someone on their landline or mobile phone for free? And if I can, how?
I’m on Skytel Srbija (from the VOIP list) and I tried calling a (my) landline, and it sounded like it worked (on the iPod Touch) but the phone didn’t ring. Am I doing something wrong?

Please help.

Thank you.

Push notifications are working for AIM, just not MSN.

Maree December 16th, 2009
Hi,

You just had a new update for Nimbuzz.
Good 1. Chat History ( FINALLY!!! ). 2. It tells me how long ago I sent a Chat. 3. Loads MUCH quicker.
The only bad thing, is that Push Notifications STILL don’t work!!! Like I’m also trying IM+ Lite, and they have Push Notifications for new chats, when a contact goes online, when you get a email and you appear online even when you exit IM+ Lite for 3 hours!!! If you added that to Nimbuzz, I think you’d have like 100 x more people using Nimbuzz!!! I mean except for the Push Notifications, I like Numbuzz WAY WAY better than IM+ Lite!!! Especially because you don’t have any adds!!! And I don’t want to buy the full version of IM+ for $10 just to have no adds and something with facebook ( I didn’t read everything )!!! That’s just crazy!!! And I also like your emoticons MUCH MORE than IM+ Lite!!!

PLEASE add the stuff I mentioned!!! Even if I have to wait months!!! I don’t care how long I have to wait, as long as I know you’ll add the stuff I mentioned!!! I’ll delete IM+ Lite right now if you tell me you’ll add the stuff I mentioned!!!

Thanx for reading

Hi,

I’m experiencing another problem!!!
When one of my contacts is Away, at first when I enter Nimbuzz that contact appears offline (when it’s supposed to say it’s away) and then I exit Nimbuzz and reopen it, and only then that contact appears Away!!!
So I have to open Nimbuzz twice to know for sure what status is a contact!!!

I think I only experienced this problem today.

Please fix.

Thanks for reading!!!
