I’d like to see Skype Chat Channels. Its annoying to see every message typed into a chat room as a private conversation.

Ruapho February 3rd, 2010
How can I tell if my version of Nimbuzz should be updated? There doesn’t seen to be any information I can find which indicates the version being offered

Patrick February 3rd, 2010
This is great! Waiting for this for a long time.

Love the app but without SkypeOut and the fact that it kept reconnecting kept me away from the app. Much better than Fring which is VERY buggy!

Good job to the team.

One complaint – If I am having a conversation with person X on my computer (on skype) and then I leave my computer and switch on Nimbuzz, the ENTIRE conversation is replayed on Nimbuzz. This is VERY annoying if the conversation was long.

Haven’t tested this on the updated version yet so it may have been fixed.

abhiroopb February 3rd, 2010
I’d also like to add that there is an annoying “feature”. Basically, when I make a call the ringing sound is VERY loud and it seems to be pegged to the “in-call volume”. However, the ringing occurs over the speakers. Similarly the tone signalling a connected call (the BEEP – BEEP – BEEP) is also very loud.

Could you please make sure that this isn’t played over the speakers as it is an annoyance.

I have to reduce the in-call volume before making a call and then increase it once the call connects to ensure people around me don’t get irritated.

Thanks for the quick response I have another small problem.

I noticed that there is a new option in the settings to “display contact picture”. I have this selected, however, the photos remain greyed out. I don’t really need the photos per se but I thought I’d note it since it does not seem to be working on my phone

HTC Magic (Android 1.6)

Thanks for reporting this.
In order to investigate this issue, could you let us know which device (model and brand) are you using?

HTC Magic (SingTel – Singapore)
Firmware 1.6
Cyanogen 4.2.14.1 (Rooted ROM)

NB: I was having this problem on stock 1.5 (previous version) and on the updated HTC Sense UI (also previous version).

I am running this particular version of Nimbuzz on the Cyanogen 4.2.14.1 custom ROM

Nuova versione di Nimbuzz per Android. Arrivano le chiamate SkypeOut, la segreteria e la suoneria personalizzabile | Le notizie February 3rd, 2010
Hi,
Well done and thank you so much!

Issues:
1) I’m not able to delete any of my contacts (ICQ, yahoo, skype).
2) I have stored IM’s for each contact (google.contacts), when I press this (e.g. ICQ) contact I’m expecting to open it in IM client (Meebo has it but… N is better ) but nothing happens.

I have Android 1.6 on G1.

Regards.

moob February 3rd, 2010
Once i login on my HTC Hero it is straight into trying to reconnect. And it fails. This is even worse than before the update. This is the real problem the app faces -stablity. Everything else is grand (nimbuzz out would be nice, but skype out is grand), but it’s all useless without stability. I love this app on other phones, just want it to work well on android. Come on guys.

Cian February 3rd, 2010
Let it Sleep!

I love this app but I have two issues that prevent me from using it:
1. It prevents my phone from sleeping. This kills the battery very fast. I know it is possible to have an app stay connected while the phone is sleeping, both Sipdroid and Fring do this.
2. It does not show caller ID on SkypeIn Calls.

Thanks for an almost PERFECT app! Fix those two issues and it will be.

DarylW February 3rd, 2010
Figured it out: doesn’t seem to work on WiFi. Can only login on 3g, if i turn on wifi it goes into perpetual reconnecting and never connects. Maybe it’s just this wifi spot, i’ll see later on. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas for a fix?

Cian February 3rd, 2010
@moob
We currently do not support deleting contacts from other IM contacts.
For that you will need to delete the contacts directly from the IM client in which they belong to. After that they should not appear when you login on Nimbuzz.
In regards of your second query, could you please be more specific?
Do you mean press on contacts on your phonebook or on your contact list once you are logged in?
Let us know.

Thanks for reporting this.
In order to investigate this issue, could you please let us know your location (country) and your network provider?
Which type of connection are you using?

queralt escrich February 4th, 2010
Hi,
Ok, it does seem to be something to do with the wifi connection i was on yesterday, as it’s working fine on my home wifi. And, it seems to be stable, which is absolutely brilliant

Yesterday i was on the wifi in my university, (University of Limerick, Ireland). Maybe some ports or something are blocked. But i think it worked pre-update, and i know fring works on it.

Let me know if i can help in any way, getting more info from the university or anything. Feel free to contact me directly too.

Cheers,
Cian

Thanks for your comment and feedback.
We take it into account and we expect to improve our application in regards of battery consumption.
In regards of the SkypeIn calling, we will try to reproduce this issue at our offices.
Regards

queralt escrich February 4th, 2010
Maybe I should clarify….if the caller is in your Skype contact list it shows. If they are not I would expect it to show the number of the incoming call, it does not. Also a missed call notification would be nice.

DarylW February 4th, 2010
@queralt escrich
On my phonebook.
To reproduce this feature you can install Meebo. Than go to the phone contact list (by google) and edit some contact. There is an option to add IM clients. Save. View that contact and press e.g. icq. It is opened by meebo.

This is great because you don’t care “how” but “who” at the first time. I mean: I want to tell my girlfriend I’ll go to pub. I’ll find her in contact list. Ahh, she isn’t online so I’ll send SMS or make a call.

This idea is not mine. It comes from Synergy.

Regards.

Nimbuzz aggiornato e supporta SkypeOut | Nexus One Italia - Il blog italiano sul Google Nexus One February 4th, 2010
I have the same problem as abhiroopb, as far as contacts photos are concerned. They remain greyed out (in Skype contact, for example).
Strangely enough, until yesterday, I could see them (and I had already updated my nimbuzz release to the latest available, version 1.3.0 release 4607.4615).
Simply, they desappeared…
My phone is a HTC Hero.

jack000 February 5th, 2010
Also, the “Nimbuzz” sound for incoming calls is really really low even with cell volume at maximum. Could you raise it please?
And, VERY IMPORTANT, the phone does NOT vibrate on incoming calls (while it does on incoming text messages).
My phone is a HTC Hero.
Thanx.

jack000 February 5th, 2010
Sorry, I’ve got to correct myself! After a day of absence, contact pictures are misteriously back! )
Dunno why all this!

Check the no-vibration-thing on incoming calls, though (and low volume for Nimbuzz ringtone).
Other than that, it’s great! I dumped Fring!

jack000 February 5th, 2010
@jack000
Thanks for your feedback and comments.
We will have a look and investigate this issue with the display pictures.
As well as with the sound.
Cheers!

I’m curious to know what update the new Nimbuzz brings. Just updated today!

I can not access nimbuz from my service operator. I am from india. I use tata docomo. Please help nimbuz. Yesterday i could access it from today it started this problem. Of connection lost. But connection is correct please help.

@Rajeev
Do you get any error message while trying to login on Nimbuzz?
If yes, which one?
Does it appear before or after introducing your account details?
Did you change any settings on your connection?
Let us know!

queralt escrich February 15th, 2010
The latest release (don’t know if it’s a coincidence) gives me problems in logging in with Skype: Settings > Accounts > Skype most of the times keeps trying to log in, the grey/green circle keeps turning around forever and doesn’t turn into the grey check mark, and all Skype contacts remain offline even if they are actually online (checked on my pc). It happens often

On the contrary, I didn’t notice the same problem for MSN (even if I use it rarely, so I can’t garantee).

jack000 February 19th, 2010
My nimbuzz cannot connect via wifi but 3G. I am using nexus one. Location: Singapore. Please help.

Please check that the wi-fi network you are using is not restricted and does not allow you to connect to some applications.

Hi, I’m experiencing the same problems as rizzly, that the Huawei u8220 doesn’t work with nimbuzz. there is no sound on both ends of the call. I’m trying to call my nexus one which works well with nimbuzz. It’s the same operator so that shouldn’t be the problem. The Huawei u8220 (t-mobile pulse in the UK) is currently running android 1.5 if that helps.

Erik March 23rd, 2010
…have tried both 3g & wifi. Same problem with all nimbuzz releases incl todays new version.

Erik March 23rd, 2010
@Erik @rizzly
Are you still experiencing this issue after updating to the latest Nimbuzz version available (1.4)?
Please let us know!

queralt escrich March 23rd, 2010
Dear Nimbuzz,

I also have the same issue with Huawei u8220 (T mobile pulse).. there is no sound on both sides. Even after upgrading to 1.4, problem is not solved. There is other voip software which works fine.. but i like to have nimbuzz working … it has android 1.5…

Many thanks

Ravi March 25th, 2010
As ravi says, the problem still exists in version 1.4

Erik March 25th, 2010
@Ravi
Do you experience this issue when calling Skype contacts or any other community friends? If yes, which ones?
Could you please send a mail to support@nimbuzz.com with that information?
