[MeeGo Harmattan] Wazapp Public Beta is live !

Wazapp (Whatsapp port for the N9) 0.1.6 for N9 is out as a public beta. Get it from http://www.wazapp.im

Enjoy testing and please report any bugs to tarek[at]wazapp[dot]im

Some FAQ:

How long do I have to wait if registration fails?
Registration failure error has a number like "fail-too-recent::X", X is the number of minutes you have to wait before trying again.

Will I still receive notifications when I close it?
-If you close wazapp by swipe down or from tasks window, it will remain running in background and you will receive notifications normally. If you close wazapp using the "Quit" button, it will totally exit and you won't be notified about new messages

Does it support media sending (images,sounds, location ..etc)?
-Not yet. If someone sends you media it will not show up on wazapp, and the sender will not receive a "delivered" receipt from you.

Does it support group conversations?
-It supports group conversations partially. If you already belonged to a group, you will be able to send and receive messages on it. Buy you cannot create a group and yoou can not join new groups. Oh and you won't be able to identify the message sender in a group as well :P

Does it create an internet connection by itself?
-It uses the current internet connection and does not issue a new one automatically. If you disconnect, reconnect, Wazapp will restore its connection automatically.

Does it support emoji?
-No. And if someone sends you an emoji (smiley face), it would appear most probably as boxes. You might have seen similar behavior if you used Whatsapp on Symbian before it supported emoji

How does whatsapp fee and account expiry work on wazapp?
-Currently if your account expired you won't be notified. Wazapp will not be able to connect without giving a reason.

Can I choose or change my password?
-No

How do I edit pushname ?
-From accounts settings in accounts manager

So here is a list of missing (and upcoming) whatsapp features:
Fully functional group conversations
Sending and receiving Media
Sending emoji
Blocking/unblocking

Known issues with this version:
Splash screen is not swipable
Auto registration code handling doesn't always work
Notifications won't go away until you click it
Chat item text max length is according to screen orientation where it was initially calculated
Received duplicate messages are not discarded
Chat bubbles don't scroll correctly on virtual keyboard open/close

WiFi SMS : Answer and Send SMS From your Computer !

WiFi SMS forwards your sms to your computer over wifi or usb-networking so you can answer them with your usual keyboard at home.

It consists of two parts :

- The client application on the N900 which connects to WiFi SMS on the computer

- The server application which will actually run on Windows with .NET 4 installed. (Usually this should be no problem)

The application features are:

- Sending and receiving SMS to and from the computer
- Transfering your phonebook from the phone to the application on the computer where you can choose the people you would like to write to.
 - Sending one sms to multiple recipients (Just hold down ctrl and choose contacts)
 - See who has written you an sms (it shows the full name from your phonebook)
 - Supports every TCP/IP-based connection ways.
 - You can start an accesspoint and connect your device to it or use MAD Developer to get a network over usb.
- Client works in portrait and landscape mode! (Although portrait might be useless because of debugtext wrapping)

Ps : i think this is more reliable than ovi suite (with bluetooth) which often don't recognize the N900...

SMScon : Control your device with SMS !

Smscon is a n900 complete control utility by sending sms messages to it. This is handy in case you can't find your phone (it's lost or stolen).

Smscon is a two part Python script running in CLI; smscon & smscon_daemon. Smscon is the CLI control part and smscon_daemon is the "running in the background" part.

Smscon can:

• autoload at boot;
  when device reboots it loads smscon_daemon in the background.
• creates a log file (on the device)
• detect SIM card change and sends new phonenumber and IMSI code (return SMS) to other known mobile number;
  if somebody has stolen your phone and put his/hers own SIM card in it.
• send current GPS location coordinates (return SMS).
• reboot the phone;
  only works if your SIM hasn't a lock code.
• shutdown the phone.
• open a reverse ssh connection to your own server (WLAN/GPRS connection);
  control the device at CLI level from you own home.
• ftp a frontcam picture to your own server (WLAN/GPRS connection);
  to see where your phone is or who is using it.
• send the current remaining battery charge (return SMS).

Future ideas:
- record audio (with phone mic) and ftp the file to your own server (WLAN/GPRS connection).

Smscon is triggered by an SMS message with a predefined known command and then will execute the task in the background.

If so it will send a reply SMS with the information.

FlexiSPY : Very First Spy Application For Maemo 5 !

So far there hasn’t been any spy phone vendors willing to allocate the resources needed to create Maemo spy phone software due to the small number of handsets in the marketplace.

FlexiSPY is able to secretly capture SMS, Call Records, Instant Messages, GPS Locations, listen to surroundings and intercept live phone calls.

-  GPS Tracking: This will enable you to secretly track the N900.
- Text Message Logging: Using Maemo spy software, you will be able to view incoming and outgoing text messages sent/received from the N900.
- View Call History: Find out who the person you are spying on is calling. Call duration and number information provided.
- Remote Monitoring: This Maemo spy feature will enable you to secretly listen in on the immediate surroundings of the Nokia N900.
- Live Call Interception : This Nokia N900 spy phone feature is most requested, but also the only one that is less likely to be available when Maemo spy software is released. Using ‘live call interception’ you will be able to secretly listen in on live phone calls placed using the N900.
- Remote Picture Video Grab: This Maemo spy feature enables you to remotely grab pictures and videos stored on the N900, so you can see what “secret” photos are on the phone.

Scout : Search tool for contacts, conversations and calendars !

Another very cool and usefull tools from the developper of Calendar Home Widget !

Scout enables you to search for :

- Text in Contacts for names, nicknames, usernames, addresses or phone numbers.
- Calender entries with summary or description text.
- Text in your conversations.

The search result category is indicated by the different icons on the left side (contacts, calender, sms). I use two different kind of icons for sms and chat conversations and for each two different icons (with and without the blue arrow) to distinguish received and outgoing messages.

Selecting a search result has different actions:

-opens a contact details dialog for contacts
-opens the calendar app for calendar entries (agenda view)
-opens a new window with the full message text for conversations.
