[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

Nokia Pulse brings your everyday conversations to life by automatically tagging photos and updates with your location.



Every conversation, from pickups and drop-offs to meet-ups, is as instant, private, and simple as sending a text, but far more useful and engaging. Nokia Pulse is integrated with Maps, so finding people nearby, discovering new places, and getting directions is a snap.
Group Conversations:
Keep it Private. Keep it Personal. Keep it Real.
  • Private check in – All your conversations stay private and safe
  • Photo check in – Automatically tag your location to all your photo updates
  • Private by Default – No complicated privacy settings needed
Live Places:
One tap and they know where you are. Two taps to get you there.

  • Discover what’s nearby – Make and view recommendations of nearby places of interest
  • Getting there is a snap – Get directions directly from the recommended place
Your People:
Your Family. Your People. You Decide.
  • Instant: Receive instant on-device notifications of all new updates
  • Open:  Everyone with an email address can participate
  • Easy:  Sending and receiving messages with Nokia Pulse is as easy as SMS
  • Powered by the cloud: Your conversations are saved in the cloud for as long as you need them
  • Accessible from anywhere: Nokia Pulse is available on multiple touch-points - desktop web, mobile web, Windows Phone and Symbian devices


    Known issues on N9 * Nokia Account login can be flaky on PR 1.0 and PR 1.1, especially during the initial authentication. Possible resolutions to the issue: Ensure you have network access Restart the client Restart the device Remove your Nokia Account via the Account manager, restart the device, and add it back Try again later Updating to PR 1.2 when available will fix the problem entirely * Network latency can cause duplicate posts/comments sometimes * Device notifications of Pulse activity can only be sent to one device per Pulse/Nokia user. If you have multiple devices using Pulse with the same Nokia account credentials, then only the most recently registered/started client will receive notifications. * When sharing an image from the gallery only portrait orientation is available for browsing * Two sessions can be launched at the same time when one is launched via a notification and the other is launched via the menu

[MeeGo Harmattan] Nokia City Scene : Explore cities

Explore cities in 3D with Nokia City Scene from Nokia Research Center. Click on buildings to browse their stores and services, or use search to jump to what you are looking for. Connect to your social networks to find friends' check-ins or share locations. Now featuring about a dozen US cities with coverage expanding both in the US and to Europe.

The application combines NAVTEQ street imagery, building models and terrain data to create interactive panoramic street scenes. It uses building models to make buildings clickable, and to present information right on the building facade, so you can discover information just by browsing along a street.

You can use City Scene's location aware search to jump directly to a panoramic view of the place you're looking for, so you'll recognize it when you go there. The application lists your friends' Foursquare and Facebook check-ins so you can jump to where they've been. You can also share "postcards" of locations complete with street address (maybe suggesting a place to meet for coffee later). The Featured Cities list will grow automatically as NAVTEQ completes more drives.
