Re: Ebuddy XMS is out now
 
after reading the comments by the xms users, the current version of this app is unusable.

thank you for testing eBuddy XMS for Meego.

I wanted to let you know that we're going to do bug fixing in the nearest future. Unfortunately, I can't give you more precise information on the dates.

Please keep an eye on our updates.

Best regards,
Aleksandra

Dear Aleksandra,

Fully appreciated you are perhaps only here to communicate with the Harmattan community (which is appreciated) but the real lack of updates and fixes has hurt XMS's reputation.

I will be moving onto another OS - one which has multiple choices of messaging services and I'm sorry to say XMS will not be my choice of use. I say this with no malice but only to point out that while i was exclusively using Harmattan, XMS was my only real choice and I valued it quite a bit. With a sizable user base, the N9 should really have not been put in the back seat in terms of development/fixture.

Thanks again

Hi!
Your app can be closed but push notifications will still be working.

Can you please install the app again and see if you can see the icon?

Thank you in advance,
Aleksandra

nope. Reinstalled but still no icon at the app view. :/

Try the following:
Uninstall again
Reboot
Install

If no icon, try this:
Reboot

fire up terminal if still no icon
get root (devel-su/rootme)

Download both attachments and copy to your mass memory (MyDocs folder)
Rename
Code:

xms-qt.desktop.txt
to

Code:

xms-qt.desktop

On the phone, in terminal:
Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
cp ./xms-qt.desktop /usr/share/applications/xms-qt.desktop


Check your menu, if there is no icon, type into terminal:
Code:

cp ./xms-qt80.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps/xms-qt80.png
Everything *should* work as long as the program is installed - if not, reboot and try again.

@Aleksandra - I think many of us in the community are more than willing to test this beta version and provide feedback if you would be kind enough to post it on the beta link or upload it to tmo!!

Re: Ebuddy XMS is out now
 
It seems even WP has become a higher priority than Maemo6x, unsurprising I guess.
In the last few days they released the same update they released for BB 8-days before.
This still doesn't get BB/WP up to parity with Android/iOS...
As eBuddy added a new feature that's not yet included in BB/WP/Maemo6x.
But it leaves Maemo6x way behind everyone else.... :(
This WP update may be a sign that the same update is about to come to Maemo6x, but I have my doubts.

xms was a good option since we did not whatsapp, they should have taken advantage of that with some killer features. But unfortunately, it has never been updated while all other platforms has. Now that wazapp is out, I fear that when they finally update, it will be too little too late.

Xms should've focused on platforms that doesn't have whatsapp on them. They could've gained a bigger market share that way

Even though Wazapp isn't an official app but at least it has the support of the community.

XMS is really disappointing. I will just use Wazapp or Google Talk. - XMS uninstalled.
