BetaLabs

Well, in any case, at least a minor version number change could have been included, I mean, I still had the previous release installed, and it just asked me if I want to replace 1.00(0) with 1.00(0) :/

Please add Russian support to your great application.!!!
Thank you for your work!

All I really want is the DATE AND TIME in the standard messaging. It is unbelievable that a N95 in this age does not show the date and time of a message (without having to go into menus and viewing details).

As far as this app, I think it is good but I wish the interface were different. There is so much wasted space on the screen, only showing 3 messages at a time. I think a smaller font, showing full messages without scrolling (multi-lines), with a small date/time stamp would be good. Yes, I love the date & time but it really does not need to be as big as the message itself. Show incoming and outgoing messages in a different color or different background color. Smooth scrolling up and down like Channels or a web browser. This is all I ask. :-P

Thanks.

on the n95 8gb, for it to work, you need to install Nokia_Internet_Services_Support_Package_1.sis

Hello, i just installed it on my N95 8gb. The installation was succesful but then when i go in "Applications" and i click on the icone nothing happens.... Is the new upgrade works for n95 8gb?
Thanks

I just have to jump the bandwagon - please please please don't abandon this application, and add Croatian as well :)
And yes, N95-2 and N82 are not listed as supported devices?

I have a problem sending SMS with cyrillic characters in it using Conversation input field.
When I type it it looks perfectly ok, but SMS is received with question marks (????) instead of cyrillic letters.

I can send cyrillic SMS using "Messaging" application without any problem.

Nokia E90, firmware 07.40.1.2

I'm using an N82, after installation nothing seems to happen. The Conversation icons appears in my apps folder, but nothing changes in my contacts menu, no added tabs etc.
Is it compatible with the N82?

I hope that you can have more language in the software, such as Chinese

using on e51- buggy. i have 827 messages in my inbox and 478 in my sent folder, and i dont know if thats why but whenever i open my contacts it crashes back to the "home" screen. also when i try to write a new text message it crashes back to the messaging - new message, inbox, my folders, etc. screen. and when trying to reply to a message in my inbox it crashes back to the inbox. i had this many messages before without this app installed and never had this problem, so i believe its related to the conversation app. it started doing this yesterday, and i deleted some messages and uninstalled and reinstalled the app and fixed the bug. but now its back!

N75 says "Menu: feature not supported"

giving me error message after installing it.... menu:Feature not supported..
i install the Nokia_Internet_Services_Support_Package_1.sis first then compatible sis for my decvice..
i install both to my phone memory
V4.0735.3.0.2

Well, we can hope that something based on this is cooking in the S60 software. If that happens, no need to have a separate application.

Of course, all of the built-in applications (and why not the whole OS) should be independent installable applications, but now I'm getting carried away..:)

And, if you *should* happen to develop it a little more... How about some more languages... :-) Like *cough* swedish *cough* maybe?

Agree. Threaded SMS is essential and this should be continued as a standard app.

If you are typing a message and hit the d-pad to go right or left, in arriving back at the conversation, the text you were typing is lost.

Very frustrating!

Please keep developing this app. It's almost there!

Cheers

Last time i tried it i had to flash my phone. It would be brilliant if the final version could be included under messaging instead of contacts..

Also get the "Feature not supported" error on my N73. Reinstalled the previous version & miraculously the "Change contact icon" feature now works, although "Add thumbnail" in the phone book still gives the dreaded "Memory full" error. Oh well, as long as development of this GREAT app doesn't stop, I can live with it! :)

it doesn't work on my 5700 XM V03.83.1.

The required firmware for E65 should be 2.0633.65.01 not 3.0633.09.04 as listed... right?

I can't seem to find any improvements, works on my E61 and supports Hebrew as it did in the previous version, but none of the features\fixes suggested by feedback were implemented, no smilies, no integration with the new message dialog, no ability to display entire content of message on the screen (like SMS Chat on the Treo) etc..

I really hope Nokia will continue to develop Conversation, either as a separate product or as a feature in the firmware.

UNICODE plz
Russian are waiting
Great app
like iPhone's SMS Chat
So plz fix it

after installing this on my n95-3 i started having randomly text input problems. It was like it was ignoring key presses every few keys. Only a reboot fixed it. I never had this problem before installing conversation and have not had it since removing the app. (i also posted above about the sms sending problem i had after installing this). Seems the bugs were not completely fixed. Good try though! Don't give up :)

By the way, does anyone know what's changed in the new version. i can't see any different at all.

I think this is a great application and I also hope you can add Unicode support (for sending of messages). When I first installed this application and saw that it could display my non-English SMS' without problem, I had high hopes that it would have full Unicode support. However, I have tried sending numerous messages with non-English text on the first screen after clicking on a specific user, and what actually gets sent is garbled.

The only way around this is to click on a specific message in the "conversation view" which takes you to the messaging app. From there, go to "Reply" and compose your message.

I installed this on my n95 8gb and it appeared to be working fine, except for a few niggles:

- access to conversation threads after power up took an unreasonably long time, even with very few messages.

- it somehow caused my phone to hang for minutes at a time when browsing through my contacts and clicking on a contact.

- I

I also made sure that Conversation is set to show all conversations

-ray

Please add Russian support to your great application.!!!
Yes!!!
Yes!!!
Yes!!!
Yes!!!
Add Russian support!
Thank you

Please add Russian language support.

I used to have a LOT of the stuck outbound messages but since I upgraded the firmware on my E90 and re-installed Conversation, things are massively improved.

I've had 1, maybe 2 stuck messages since...in a period of 3 or 4 weeks. Previously I had several each day.

i tried installing on my n95-3 a couple of times, even with the new firmware (20.xxxxx), but it crashes as soon as i load it, any help?

I think this program is amazing, but unfortunately ever since I updated my N95 with the latest firmware (v30) i am unable to open the application! I've uninstalled and reinstalled it...installs fine, but just won't open at all. Anyone else having this problem? (yes, i am installing the correct version of the app) :)

Does this application run on FP2?

Many thanks,
David

Firstly, you guys/gals have done a great job bringing this to the S60. But, I feel this should be further developed. Coming form a Palm Centro, I really do miss the treaded sms feature provided by my Palm, and do know that there are some of us out there how refuse to move to S60 purely because of this.
--cheers

Love this application!
Would be great upon receiving a text and going "View" for it then to launch Conversation.

@Leonard - Using an E61, I have the same annoyance using Conversation, but not quite as frequently. I'd say it happens to maybe 10-15% of my outgoing messages.

Just upgraded my phone's firmware for my e61i and thinking abt re-installing 'conversations' again. Had the earlier version installed and it only really had one annoying problem. Really love the program and i'm glad that u decided not to abandon it. Been reading through all the submissions and only really saw 1 entry that was experiencing the same thing as me.

Problem:

90% of the time after composing and sending a message, the sent message stays in the outbox, where infact the message has already been sent to the recipient. The only way of getting rid of it is going to the outbox, and deleting it manually, or else you'll start getting a build-up of 'already sent' messages piling up in the outbox. Is this still happening for some people using an E-series?

Would appreciate your soonest response.

Cheers!

@ nw. Have u installed the latest version available now? Do you still get the same thing happening?

any chance of porting this to the e71? thank you :)

just loaded Conversations now and I must say I am impressed! I do hope tweaks and optimizations continue, as this is how ALL sms interfaces should be organized/designed.

I guess Nokia's next generation of devices will have this integrated already.

A question for you long-term users of Conversation - does the app lag noticeably when you've got lots of messages/threads in your inbox?

Hi everyone, I carry a nokia n 95 8gb, I live in delhi(INDIA), Let me tell u honestly, I m an absolute new user to such technologies,current firmware that my phone has got is v15.0.015,I clearly see the icon IM in menu-app-media,if it is built in there then what application to dowload from nokia beta labs and why, to use this service what is the server name, web adds, what is user id and password for logging to IM, how, and where to get them from. What is the complete proceedure to first set it up and then how to instant messages and is it possible to make voice chat over my nokia n95 8gb, I'll be as thankfull as I can, I'll never forget ur this help pal if anybody can tell me in a proper, correct and easier way. I m eagerly waiting for ur reply. THANKS BEST REGARDS.

Great app! But please do the russian language support!!!!!!!!

Phone: N73 Music Edition

First installed the newer version of Internet services pack 1.06 and not the 1.01 given on the downloads page.

Then installed Conversation

It doesnt work - Error: "Menu: Feature not supported (-5)"

Anyone know how this can be fixed?

Hi Tommi, thank you very much for answer to my question concerning FP2.

It is a great shame that it does not yet run on this platform!

I have a Nokia 6120 which I have been very happy with, and as a heavy text user, I run the Conversation application the *whole* time - many, many times a day. It is by far the most used app on my phone, and greatly more useful than the inbuilt texting facilities.

I would really like to upgrade to the Nokia 6220 classic for the camera and GPS; however my usage of the Conversation app is so great that I cannot give it up even for the hardware benefits the 6220 brings.

So, essentially, Nokia is losing a sale here because Conversation doesn't run on FP2. To be honest, I'm astonished that it isn't embedded in the OS already.

Alright - enough of a moan. Obviously one sale is entirely insignificant to the company, but I did want to let you know what a great, almost essential app I think Conversation is.

Cheers,
David

Oo, Tommi, you're a sneaky bugger :) I do hope that any possible update will fix the lockup issue on the N95-3. Conversation worked so great until this year's firmware update and I hope to see it working again soon.

i want a conversation for my n78... pls help me...

Aha! That's where I was going wrong, completely skipped that part, don't know why - thanks very much kennibal! :D

Pastel: You can prevent the app from refreshing everytime it's invoked by choosing the softkey "Exit" option to exit the app, rather than using the red hangup key. "Exit" leaves the Contacts application running in the background, and under these conditions there's no refresh lag. (Annoying, I know, but it's the only work around I've found).

To the Nokia development team: Please, I implore you guys not to give up on this application. It's the only decent text messaging app available for S60, and is far superior to that provided by S60 firmware. If development really has stopped, then please consider releasing this app as open source so that we can develop it further. Nokia hasn't lost out by using an open-source browser, after all.

Nice app! But can you make it a little more flexible on showing the messages by omitting the date and time, and the option to omit the thumbnail picture for every individual, maybe formatting of view as well. And also, the incoming and outgoing symbol is not that conspicuous. Simple arrows with their respective colors might help our quick eyes. Mark it as 'read' if cursor is hovered on the new message, or shifted the highlight away from it.

I had this app installed on my n95 and now have it installed on my n95 8gb. I encountered many of the same problems I had on my previous phone. I love this app and generally works fine except for the text message in use message, which I can live with. However, as with my previous phone there came a point when I couldn't even send messages. I didn't realise it was due to conversations but my friend said it was. I installed it on my new phone hoping he was wrong but now it seems he wasn't.

I have been able to send any messages for over a day now as sending keeps failing. So I tried to uninstall the app and it won't let me. I get the same message repeatedly saying file cannot be deleted. I deleted all my messages on my phone, in case this was the reason I couldn't remove the program, and still no joy.

I have no idea what to do next with this. I love this app but I use my text function massively and need it to be reliable. It's really a shame that they still haven't ironed out the bugs on this one.

I'm really hoping there will be some updates for this app in the future. There is a very good foundation here but it desperately needs to be built upon. First thing I'd like to see done is to have Conversations become part of the Messaging app instead of Contacts or at least make it possible to open a text message from the standby screen with a single button press instead of having to close the new message alert then open Contacts. The app cannot handle conversations with a lot of messages (anything >500 is a problem) and it causes problems if you decide to go back to the Messaging app to send a message.

@Thomas - This is beta software from Nokia's Beta Labs. Some things become supported products, some just sort of die off. It's sort of their development playground that they let us come into and play :)

> How many comments does it take for Nokia to care?

Just one.

Here at Beta Labs, it's not about the number of comments. If we would implement things just based on how many comments want something, things would go wrong quickly. It would be too trivial to game the system by repeating yourself.

In any case, I think you have made your point - I fully understand there is demand for this app.

I only discovered this program today only to find its going nowhere :( NOKIA This is how Text messaging should be on Series 60, i love it! Just look at the comments everybody loves the concept.

Still having problems sending cyrillic messages from the input field, all messages coming as "????? ?? ?????".

Nokia 6290

Fix it, and I'm a fan :)

What about support for international charsets/languages like Russian? my recepient got ??????????? instead of text message.

Would be a shame if this is not going to be updated for future phones, i had an N95 and app worked well.. used it for general messaging. Have now changed to N96 and there is no version of this app for the N96, this would be a great app to keep on all future phones.. please please keep this up to date

COME ON UPDATE FOR FP2 PLEASE!!!!

Still no update for the N96, whats happening here? Keep your software up to date! ... (please)

@Juan - within the past week there was an update to Conversation! I have it working perfectly on my E71 now.

I'm using N95. I had this problem when I open the contacts, it will jump back to the standby menu. I tried uninstall the Conversation app, the contact can be opened again. Then I followed the instruction, install the latest Nokia Internet Services Support Package into phone memory. Second, go to the "Application manager" to find and uninstall the "Nokia Contacts Service Support Package". Third, install the Phonebook Extension Manager. Finally, install the Conversation application. But the problem happened again.

So I did a backup of the sms and deleted them all, 400+ of them, and the problem went away. Not sure if it will come back later on. But I had more sms last time, before Conversation was installed and everything went well.

Nice app though, keep it up!

Why doesnt it work with my n96?

Whats the deal!

Thanks Robert!!... saw the update, only want to know another user's experience on same phone with this update :). I'm downloading it right now

I like this application but is not available for nokia 5800 XpressMusic this will be a great app for the S60 v5... hope is on the way
