  3. I use Nimbuzz daily with both iPod Touch and iPhone and I am very pleased with the design and functionality. My only problem is that too often it takes forever to log in via WiFi and sometimes the connection is simply nor made and I must restart. Once connected it is stable, and the extra push hours are very welcome. I imagine you already know about the unfinished text in buttons and pull down menus in this latest version. Overall a top notch App, well designed and very useful. Thanks and congrats!

  9. Hi, I’ve installed nimbuzz on my iphone and connects well but not receive incoming message notifications, although notifications have been enabled. Could someone tell me what i’m doing wrong?

    Oscar April 9th, 2010
  10. Great software. I have the dutch version and it doesn’t display correct text on some buttons, like mentioned by others in earlier posts.
    Furthermore, if I close nimbuzz and get a facebook message with push, the name of the sender is not diplayed when I open nimbuzz. Only a number. After that, if I close nimbuzz and open it again, the message is gone.

    Robin April 12th, 2010

    Could you let us know which notifications are you not receiving?
    Are messages sent from which community?
    Let us know
    @Robin
    The issues with the txt in some buttons will be changed in the next release.
    In regards of the Facebook push messages, we will investigate this issue and fix it as soon as possible.
    Thanks & regards

  12. Hi guys

    Nice program works good. But what i need to know more is when my iphone goes to sleep mode and works with normail inncomming and sms function the nimbuzz push system does not work. If im using the wireless internett or manuel started the safari or nimbuzz the push notification work.

    Will it not work if the phone is on sleep modus ? Or do the iphone always have to be online with the ingernett using wifi? Or can it use 3G even in sleeping mode to get the push notification ?

    Shezad April 12th, 2010
  13. Wow it’s seems great. I already did the update ! I really like Nimbuzz on my iPhone 3G, it’s a cool app :) .
    But I would like it even more if :
    » It could show a picture of the person we are calling in the background, just like when we make a normal call with the iPhone.
    » We could add Fring users.
    » The Desktop version (PC) could support Skype.
    Oh and by the way, I personaly think that Nimbuzz collects a lot of personnal information and keep it too long, according to the Terms of use :(
    Anyway, good work ;)

    To be able to use the Push notification, first of all you need to make sure you have this function enabled on your Account settings.
    Once you have it enabled and you exit the application, you will require that your device is connected to the network (via Wi-Fi or 3G) to be able to push the messages.
    Let us know if you have more questions.

    Thanks for your feedback and comments.
    In regards of your suggestions:
    1. We will consider this to be implemented
    2. We do not have plans to implement this in the future.
    3. Skype is not supported on the Desktop version due to some technical limitations.
    4. Could you be more specific? What exactly do you disagree with the Terms of use?

  16. Hi, I wonder what settings are needed for 24/7 pushnotifications. Via Instellingen, Pushmeldingen I have Push Notifications ON…and then it says “txtSignOutIMAccounts”…what settings are there needed for 24/7 push….is that “lblImmediately”?? Other options there are “txtAfter30minutes” to “txtAfter4hours”…
    Please help!

    Rene April 13th, 2010
  17. @Rene
    First of all note that the 24×7 Push is available for your received Nimbuzz messages/calls not for other IM communities.
    If you enable the Push notifications to ON this will automatically make it 24×7 for Nimbuzz, the other timing you choose 30min, 1hour… etc will be applied to the rest of IM communities you have registered.
    Let us know if you have more questions.

    Due to some changes in the MSN protocol itself calling MSN buddies is not possible right now.
    e are working in order to adapt to those changes, as soon as we do the calling feature will be working again.

  26. I had nimbuzz on my iPhone some months ago but after a total cleaning I lost it. I still have it, though, on my Nokia E51. Now that I am trying to redownload the app from the Greek app store it is just not there. Any ideas?

    Dimitri April 22nd, 2010
  27. Hey,

    Ok.. please do explain me why there is only 4 hours of push for the IM’s??? This is seriously the only annoying thing about nimbuzz compear to EBuddy.. The 24/7 push for nimbuzz messages… hmpf.. no use for it since almost no one is using Nimbuzz in my surroundings ;) . Untill the 24 hour push is there for IM.. Ebuddy will be the one to use.. even that they don’t support skype which is also a pain … ;)

    Alex April 22nd, 2010

    We will consider increasing the push time.

    As you might know 3G calling is not allowed in Greece yet, since our application allows 3G calling it is not possible to be found in the iTunes Store from Greece.

  30. Hi, I love Nimbuzz but I think there might be something wrong with my push notifications. Whenever I get a push notification and open Nimbuzz the time displayed on the message O received is exactly two hours ago. So it seems there is a two hour delay on the push notification on an incoming message! What could be wrong?
    I live in the Netherlands but I think I might be using an English version. could this have something to do with it? Time zone wise or something?
    I really only use the gtalk account (if that’s relevant)
    hope you can give me some advice because it’s really annoying :(

    Jasmijn April 24th, 2010
  31. Ps. I just found out that the language in Nimbuzz is dependant on the language settings for the entire phone so that there is no Dutch or English version. Knowing this makes me wonder even more what might be the cause of my exact two hour delay on push notifications… :s

    Jasmijn April 24th, 2010
  32. @Jasmijn
    Indeed the language on your device will be the one on the application.
    Could you please be more specific on your issue with the Push notifications?
    Are you able to see the push message but when you re-open the app you cannot see the chat message?
    Let us know

    queralt escrich April 26th, 2010
  33. The problem I have with the push notifications is really that the chat message displays the wrong time. So I’ll get a push badge for an incoming chat message (say from google talk) and when I open Nimbuzz it displays a time for the incoming message exactly two hours ago.
    So I wasn’t sure whether the time displayed was just incorrect, or maybe the push notification had a two hour delay. By doing some testing I found out there’s no delay, the time is just off. Like the app is set for a different time zone than I’m actually in. Really weird. (So at 11am I receive a message, but in the app it’ll display I received the message at 9am)

    As a consequense, when I open up chats from my chat history, the messages are all scrambled up, because they are placed in the order of time, but since the time is off, the messages are not in the right order anymore.
    You have any idea what could cause this?

    Jasmijn April 26th, 2010
  34. hi, what does in settings/notifications mean:
    lbllmmediatly
