New Nimbuzz for Symbian brings back Tabbed Chatting

Hey guys, Tabbed chatting is back on the latest Nimbuzz Symbian 3.3.1 which is now available to download. We had updated our Nimbuzz Symbian to 3.3 last month and introduced a lot of new features.

One of the first things I’m sure you will notice is the beautifully redesigned Home Screen. We made the icons bigger and rearranged them in grid view so you can access the most important functions with a single touch. Even more exciting is that we added three new icons to the list: Recent Chats, N-World and Groupchat

Here is the complete overview of Nimbuzz 3.3.1 for Nokia Symbian phones:

Three new icons added: Recent Chats, N-World and Groupchat
Block contacts that annoy you
New “Notifiable” icon – the green half moon
Change your password from the inside the app
30% faster login
Redesigned Home Screen for fast access to your favorite features

The icon with a half green moon stands for Notifiable and it will appear only next to your Nimbuzz contacts that closed the Nimbuzz app but can still receive push (on the iPhone and Android) or Ping notifications (on the Java and Symbian phones).

Get the new update now from get.nimbuzz.com and if you like the new features please RT the post .

As always we would like to hear your feedback in the comment section below.

The new version will also be available in Nokia Ovi Store soon.

Nimbuzz for Symbian updated to 3.3.1 : Nokia Innovation January 6th, 2012
This symbian update for me is A-OK!! Big up to that & i’d like to thank your team as well but a little bug is still there to be reviewed. The Twitter app which you offer with Nimbuzz is still unable to retrieve the ”trending topics” since a month or two. I reported this bug earlier as well but nobody paid attention to it. One of your administrator also promised me to come up with a solution but it never happened. My satisfaction with Nimbuzz and its services is 100% but the bugs or problems that we report on your blog should be taken into the consideration. Hope you’ll come up with a solution to this problem and i’m sure that this is gonna happen! Thanks.

I also bought the ad-free version from Nokia OVI.
when you will update the same?

Ajikumar January 7th, 2012
This version is stable but still got some not so serious bugs. For example, when you switch your contact view From Double Line to Single Line, some contact just disappear below screen. Try it you’ll see.
The grid view is useful, but you cannot rearrange the icon which makes it practically useless.
More features have been remove, like chat setting>text style chat. In private chat there is only simple, normal, speech bubbles, and text has been room.
In chatroom speech bubble and normal chat setting has been remove.
The favourite tab is useless this also can be remove. Otherwise it is stable and ok. Developer have done great job.

Blue Sky January 7th, 2012
Still no splitscreen input!? Are YOU KIDDING ME?! I have repeatedly showed you in mails how to implement it! It’s not a big deal, yet you refuse to do it!? What’s your goddamn issue!? I have read about 5 comments in this blog, that it’s a technical limitation under Symbian. It is not! It’s your fault for not fragmenting the installer or doing a clever installationscript that can check like any proper symbian coder would do the platform that you’re deploying on. Symbian^3 supported splitscreen from its very first release and since Anna Update has become even easier! This makes this nice app totally unusable!

Really

So sad and upset.

Sorry…

MoritzJT January 7th, 2012
Dear Nimbuzz team
You’re pretty well overloaded with sooo-many-times-repeated options, functions and entries – “settings” here, “settings” there, “settings” over there…”exit” here…and so on and so on. Please just consider it. I say you’re so close to give us the BRILLIANT application for Symbian.
Thanks a lot!!!

Igor January 7th, 2012

///I still don’t understand how “Group chat” feature works. In my symbian when i choose the option, an empty screen appears and nothing else. Please help///

group chat will work only when you have your nimbuzz contacts are available to chat. If none of your nimbuzz contacts are online, then you will not see any one.

Ravi January 8th, 2012
@MoritzJT you’re right! it’s incredible that Nimbuzz still doesn’t have Split-Scree Keyboard!
it’s really annoying to use without split-screen keyboard if you have a full-touch device!

i repeat, Nibuzz staff WAKE UP!

select January 8th, 2012
why status update repetedly appear on my facebook wall? At d interval of hour(s), i have to delete some. Think dis is another bug.

saniubah75 January 9th, 2012
Yes the group chat will work only if you have online available contacts in your list else it will not work. Group chat is made by grouping online users. So obviously if no contacts is online there won’t be any group chat.
The group chat section is only a facility Nimbuzz provided to easily group chat. The group chat was already their in any version of Java and symbian Nimbuzz.
Nimbuzz 3.2 is still better than Nimbuzz 3.3

Blue Sky January 9th, 2012
Nimbuzz remain the best!You guyz are just great. .Keep the good work going.More grace to your elbow.Thanks

WHAT THE HELL!!!

after updating to 3.3.1 all my online CONTACTS GOT DELETED. a message appearing in all opened chat tabs ” is not on your contact list anymore. you can’t continue this chat.”

just my phone book contacts are appearing and haven’t found any way to turn off showing phone book contacts. Even i can’t add my online contacts anymore…

Still have the same issue with chat sound notification.

I think i have to switch back to 3.2 again. Why do you guys release a version without proper test

Pilot January 12th, 2012
So instead of updating the ad-free version, you simply removed it from the store? That’s really low to threat paying costumers like that…

Patata January 14th, 2012
i like dis nimbuzz v3.3.1 is working perfectly with my nokia e6. Pls update ovi store version (nimbuzz ad-free) is still v3.2.2!

Ashley January 19th, 2012
A suggestion about all the clients: An option to import/export contact list.Maybe that is not good idea to save it on our computer then you can add a future that allow us to backup it into Nimbuzz servers like the phone book backup that was available in past.

Thank you.

why why why cant we make video call using nokia e 72
while we can using other app(fring)
and nimbuzz can make video call on i phone

why we need to use nimbuzz on nokia and stop using other app

saifdado January 24th, 2012
kindly i want to inform that um fed up wid ur policy of encouraging flooding and closing up the chatrum facility coz of whch nimbuzz got famous. Your chatrum search has got fucked up nd sooner yuh will realise what yuh lost. Nimbuzz is because of chatrum nt because of ur gmail, fb, etc facility.

galzpal January 24th, 2012
with due respect i want to know y ur chatrum search z so jumbled up. I owned a rum indian_pak_friends bt coz of flooding i hv to leave dat rum nd i made another rum wid fake words! Dz rum was working fine nd was on top evrytym bt in ur new chatrum search dz rum has been dumped to 86 postion in pak search. Why you doing dz. Do you want us to leave nimbuzz.

Where has my ad free version, that I payed for gone, its not in Ovi store

Andi January 26th, 2012
So, you update to a new version. Delete the paid version and give no info when the paid version will be updated.

Mmm, a little bit more respect for the customers who actually bought your program in the first place would be nice.

Could you provide us with some more information when we can expect the updated paid version or how to downoad it?

Robbert-Jan January 27th, 2012
Why Nimbuzz is not in Nokia Store anymore!?

APH January 29th, 2012
@APH @Robbert-jan @Andi @DJ
Due to lack of usage/downloads we have decided to remove the paid version form Nokia Ovi store.
The free version is still available on Ovi Store and on get.nimbuzz.com
Cheers
@rockurhearts @galzapal @Akhil
Our team is working inorder to improve our chatroom moderation system and prevent this kind of behavior.
You can always report a username directly emailing to us and we will investigate further.
@saifdado @ali @amre
we do not support this feature on Symbian devices yet, but we aim to do so in the future.
@Prensçarls

Nimbuzz has recently made an agreement with TurkCell to offer an official cobranded Nimbuzz-TurkCell mobile app.

This implies that both Nimbuzz VoIP calls and NimbuzzOut calls will be blocked for the TurkCell subscribers due to regulatory constraints.

TurkCell and Nimbuzz will notify you when anything changes in the rules on blocking

queralt escrich January 30th, 2012
Woohoo hold on for a second. So you decided to discontinue the ad-free version. Smart move init. How about those who bought that version off Ovi Store simply because they didn’t want to see those very annoying ads? Are you sorting this issue? Any plans in relation with removing the ads from the free version or those people better find another application?

Cheers.

DJ January 30th, 2012
@DJ
We will consider other options regarding showing or not advertisement.
If you have bought the ad free version and have issues with it, please contact Nokia Ovi Store.

queralt escrich January 30th, 2012
I don’t have issues with purchasing the ad-free version off Ovi Store. My concern is that you discontinue it still, in the same time, you don’t provide a solution for those who liked not being disturbed by ads.

Is there an option with Nimbuzz or OVI to provide ads free for those who purchased before? I have contacted OVI store support and waiting for reply.
kinldy arrange this ads free version for those who are interested regardless of the number of dowaloads.
It is really annoying these ads as we are used to enjoy the ads free feature.

Ajikumar February 2nd, 2012
Ok, where did the ad-free version I paid for go?

Not only did it not get updated to the newer version, Ovi Store auto-updated me to the annoying ad-support version without telling me, the ad-free version’s been removed from Ovi and I can’t downgrade back to ad-free!

I hope this is just a mistake…

P February 5th, 2012
So after reading the rest of the comments, I realise Nimbuzz have decided to just delete the ad-free version without telling anyone! So I can no longer re-install what I’ve paid money for and own.

That’s really quite disgusting. I hope you correct this.

P February 5th, 2012
@P
Yes, we have discontinued updates for the paid version.

No, Nokia Support say that Nimbuzz have made the decision to remove Nimbuzz Ad-Free from the store.

Even if you don’t plan on updating it any further, can you please restore it to the store so that those of us who have paid for the app can download what we’ve purchased.

I’m happy staying at an older version of Nimbuzz if it means no ads but at the moment you’ve made the choice to stop me from being able to use what I’ve paid for.

Alternatively, please email me a copy of the last version of the .sisx installer for Nimbuzz Ad-Free.

P February 11th, 2012
I also suggest the same. Please restore the last ad free version or update my username to stop those annoying ads as i am a paid customer for ad free experience.Hope that Nimbuzz will respect the customers trust.

Why hello there, again…
For some odd reasons the ads disappeared on my Nokia E72 a couple of days ago. I got my hopes up high but ehh today they reappeared let again. Guys, really, you need to find a solution for this concern. It’s getting extremely annoying. Fring offers their VoIP service users the option to turn ads off. A way to handle things here as well. Or just make the app ad free for those who purchased it via Nokia Store earlier. I’m sure you could keep track of those users running Nimbuzz on an ad free platform. My 2 cents.

Regards

DJ

DJ February 15th, 2012
hi,
we are waiting to get a response from Nimbuzz about this annoying ads. Make it ads free for atleast those who paid for it through Ovi store. This is some sort of humiliation on your customers after taking money even though it was nominal. Please find a solution for this.
Your earliest reply would be appreciated.
I have posted something before also but no reply. I dont know it is deleberate or not.

Ajikumar February 16th, 2012
When will NImbuzz respond to the many comments demanding access to the Ad-Free version that we’ve paid for that they have illegitimately deleted from our accounts? Ovi Store support say they cannot restore it and to conact Nimbuzz.

Either restore it at the current version or agree to supply the installer via alternate means.

You do realise you’re breaking many country’s Fair Trading laws, right?

P February 17th, 2012
It is really dissappointing that I have recieved the reply from Nimbuzz support saying that they can’t do anything and contact Nokia Ovi store,they only supplied the ads free. I have contacted Ovi store first and forwarded the email reply from them to Nimbuzz support.
This is not fair at all. Nimbuzz only withdrawn the application, not Nokia. So it is your responsibility and obligation to customers to provide an alternative.
Who is behind these ads, is it Nokia or Nimbuzz?
please respond.

Ajikumar February 17th, 2012
Really getting sick of the ads. If i see no improvements regarding this issue in the near future, i switch to another application and buy their services instead because this is just ridiculous to say the least.
