Our latest update for Android devices comes with two awesome features:
- Push notifications (for Android O.S. 2.2 or higher)
- Message delivery notifications
You can get the new version via the Android Market or Nimbuzz.com.
Now let’s talk a bit more about the new features.
A great addition to the new version is the push notifications feature. This will allow you to appear online to all your friends even if the application closed. This way the battery will last longer and will be less data consumed. If any of your contacts sends you a chat Nimbuzz will push a new notification in your status bar letting you know that someone is looking for you. Smart, convenient and simple. The feature is available for Android 2.2 or higher.
To enable push notifications go to: Settings->Notifications-> Enable.
The new message delivery notifications will display:
- 1 check mark (✓) when your message was successfully delivered to the Nimbuzz servers
- 2 check marks (✓✓) when your message was successfully delivered to the person you are chatting with. Please note this does not indicate that your chat was read by the other person but only delivered.
The new 2.0.8 version comes also with a nifty little feature called: Synchronize with device. If you activate it you will see all your Nimbuzz friends in your phone’s contact list and you will be able to start a chat or a call with them, right from the phone’s contact list.
We hope you will enjoy the new features and if you have any questions or suggestions please let us know.
in nimbuzz we want wall just like facebook. We want photo album .
very nice softwer…..nimbuzz
Great… I guess the Symbian update is on its way..
This push notification just happens when you send a message to another nimbuzz user? Or this is valid to the other IMs accounts too?
if I hit the “Exit” option, I will still be online in the other IMs?
please …we need a new version for symbian.Don’t let us down
well done. but to bring nimbuzz with inspirational life. we want nimbuzz chat on android …… please add it up…..

Whish the same comes to symbian soon and also QT implementation and also iron out all the bugs….else its the best…..

Okay

@ Khairullah Muradi, Yacin fb, kashif_pharmd
Chatrooms are just available on Nimbuzz Mobile for Symbian and Java devices due to shifting priorities.
We don’t have any plans on the short or mid term on other platforms.

It looks really like whatsapp. By the way, I am wondering why lastest Nimbuzz for Symbian only can transfer multimedia files now. If my memory is correct, it can transfer any kind of files before.
@nimbuzz4android
We just support send and receive multimedia files, is not possible to send other type of files like .pdf or.doc

Thanks for your response.
Why “Nimbuzz Ping” does not work for me? It says “Unavailable” or “Nimbuzz Ping is not available for your operator”. When push notifications will be available for symbian version?
I use Nokia E71, Nimbuzz version 3.2.0 rev 4573, Telecom operator “Mobily” in Saudi.
please reconsider about chatrooms on android platform.we android users desperately need chatrooms!
Hello,
I’ve playing for sometime with Nimbuzz and though I like it I have got a few problems.
Phone : Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Android : 2.3.3
Nimbuzz : 2.0.8
Network : NTT Docomo in Japan
I have enabled the push notifications and my gmail account is sync with my device.
When nimbuzz is exited on the phone, then messages sent from Nimbuzz Mac (another account) to my phone trigger the notifications Nimbuzz turns up all right.
However, if Nimbuzz is left to run in the background, it appears to be online, but in fact somehow loose the connection. When a message is sent from the mac, one green check appears (on Nimbuzz Mac), but the message never makes it to the phone. However, if I fore Nimbuss to reconnect (by looking at someone profile per ex), then the messages eventually get delivered.
Any suggestions ?
That realy block me from using Nimbuzz on a regular basis.
Thanks
@Mansur
NimbuzzPing is available for Indian and Indonesian users, not in Saudi.

I need video call in Nimbuzz and that too on normal 2G network if i have 3G then i would have gone for the video calling directly from phone itself correct so it should be also for 2G/3G/4G & higher ones but basic should start from 2G.
By the way i love Nimbuzz its the best messenger i have used i had tried many messengers and among all of them i liked no no no loved Nimbuzz. Its like a buddy next to u just a hand away…
Thank you for giving us such a good application.
@Shahabaz – Thanks for your suggestion and feedback. Video Calling is currently supported only on Nimbuzz PC version 2.2.1 and iPhone 2.4. It is on our roadmap, to provide this feature to other platforms as well, but unfortunately we cannot provide you with a fix date for it to be implemented. We will announce it as soon as it is available. Stay tuned to our Blog http://www.blog.nimbuzz.com for more related news.
It should have a option to notify with ringtoon when a buddy comes or go from Nimbuzz
@irfan – Thanks for your feedback. We will consider this to be implemented in our future release. Thanks!!
