Any chance for a dark theme of Nelisquare for the AMOLED-friendly N9??

Something like in the application cutetube-QML

See below for screenshots

Also another example will be Gravity from Symbian.

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
I like this app and often try to use it.
But I have 2 problems:
1. often it is really hard to get it running. Then all the tabs (feed, places, ...) remain white and it says "please wait" for any time span. First I thought it might be a problem with the FourSquare server, but it is not: other apps connect fine. Sometimes it helps to stop and restart the app, sometimes the problem stays the same even after 4 to 5 restarts, which is a bit annoying...

2. if it runs, it is stable and the only app I know to be so clever to switch off the hungry GPS receiver when in background. But if I put it into foreground again and even if I click on "places" it does not reload the list of places, maybe, or it loads the list but clutters it with the places of my last position. Anyway, I do not see the new, nearer venues even if I scroll down the list. I suggest Nelisquare should reload the list of places when the user clicks on that button/tab.

Keep up the good work and many thanks for this app!

White lists and "please wait" clocks inditacates internet connection issues. If it happens alot - try run nelisquare from terminal console using the following command "/opt/nelisquare/bin/nelisquare" (or "/opt/Nelisquare/bin/Nelisquare" depending of version installed) and check if there is any connection errors or timeouts shows up.

application keeps last acquired position from gps and uses it if new one is not available atm. when application goes foreground - gps starts working again(as it has been switched off), and it takes some time to warm up.

actually it does. If you press any button("places","feed" so on) again, even if you are on that page already - content is reloaded from 4sq.

It's just take some time to warm up gps, you can speed up it by setting supl a-gps server to "supl.google.com". Gps lock time will be about 2-3 secs.

Thank you for your explanation, and this is just what I expected. Also I am using supl.google.com since some time. But my experience is different. I waited not only for seconds but for minutes, still the old list. Then I restarted Nelisquare, and voilą, I had the new list with near venues.
I also made that other experiment: when having old list with Nelisquare, I started other app (Ubersquare) and it showed actual venues. I switched to Nelisqare: still the old list. I restarted Nelisquare: updated list. (This all with much waiting and multiple clicking the "places" button.)

Other note: I have used the photo upload feature today for the first time. Great! Nelisquare is now the most complete app for the N900.

that's a weird behaviour. :confused: try launch from terminal as i wrote above. i'm almost done with some new features, and then logging support will be added soon, so we can polish the application :D

upgraded nelisquare to latest release (N900), but no more launcher-icon visible (even after reboot)...known issue?

definitely unknown. :o
nelisquare program name has changed as well as ".desktop" file.
If icon missing on your desktop - re-create shortcut and check if icon appear.

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
I had this too but it's just a small thing. just remove the old shortcut if it's still showing and then place a new one on the desktop.

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
often Nelisquare does not start up on my N900 showing only empty windows/areas. Sometimes it starts correctly. When I try shortly after failure it mostly succeeds. (Sounds like race condition to me.)

I started it in Terminal. Here is the output after many similar errors as the first one shown here:
Code:

... ... ...
file:///opt/Nelisquare/qml/Nelisquare/components/ProfilePhoto.qml:32: Unable to assign [undefined] to int sourceSize.width
hijackWindow() context created for QmlApplicationViewer(0xbec734cc) 1

file:///opt/Nelisquare/qml/Nelisquare/js/script.js:173: TypeError: Result of expression 'data' [undefined] is not an object.

Does this help? Only the last msg is relevant I think.

the last line in log makes me feel that something wrong with auth token and(or) request/response queue to 4sq api - responses from api are empty. i'll check startup process with low-(high-)speed internet connection and low/high background cpu-load.

Thanks for testing and using nelisquare :rolleyes: stay tuned! ;)

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
Good news, N9 users!

I have successfully submited nelisquare to "Apps for meego" catalog: http://goo.gl/iIUtt
Testing and reviews from N9 users would be helpful :rolleyes:

Also nelisquare is at QA process at official OVI store (currently only for meego platform, due to unresolved dependencies on maemo5(work in progress)).

I have configured and tested my build env for all needed devices, so... requested features are on the way! :D

check if nelisquare icon have been installed into correct folder:
Code:

ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/nelisquare64.png
If it not - check if it will work well using my build from my build server thecust.net

dependency changes
 
Due to upcoming updates, nelisquare has migrated to "libqtm-12" instead of "libqtm-11". (v.0.3.15).
Updated dependency list has been integrated into control file, so update should be flawless.

If you got black screen after updating, please PM me with log of nelisquare startup process from terminal
Code:

/opt/nelisquare/bin/nelisquare > ~/nelisquare.log 2>&1
.
run "apt-get install libqtm-12" to get it working again.

Bartcore3 2012-06-20 07:35

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
Updated without any problems (N900)
And you are the first Russian i know that doesn't like vodka :D

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
After pushing the icon, opens the first screen, which says the names of makers etc. Then "error loading the page" and then just white screen.

Remove and install didnt do anything.

What could be done here?

can you post me a log of starting nelisquare as i described above?

Have you tried install libqtm-12?
EDIT:
is this first install of nelisquare on your device?
EDIT2:
if your internet connection active at this time? If this is your first install, then nelisquare loads webpage from foursquare.com to get auth token (where you have to type your credentials)

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
All cleared, the date happened to be in year 2009 in my phone.
Realised since first entry in log was concerning the date.

Thanks anyway, and maybe this could be added to code "check if your phone is in correct time" etc :)

Edit: Thanks for developing/maintaining this great app

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
as I said in posting 126 128 in this thread I had problems with Nelisquare not updating the venue list.

Later I found out I had a dated version 0.3.11. After upgrading to version 0.3.13 the problem was gone. Always up-to-date venue list after clicking on "places".

Now I have a different problem: I can no longer upload photos. When I click "Add photo", regardless in which dialog, it shows me the image browser, I select an image, and it starts uploading.
In QNetMan I can see a short (less than the time I need to switch to that app) upload activity, but it stalls immediately. Afterwards Nelisquare shows "please wait" for minutes, hours, endless, nothing happens and the image never shows up on the venues.
I have tried this many many times, to no avail.

What could be the problem?
(Terminal output is not helpful here...)

Custodian 2012-06-21 05:50

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
The problem about racing conditions while there is "please wait" splash and no feed loads is solved at 0.3.16(just pushed to extras-devel).

Check if photo size is smaller than 5MB. and is in jpeg format (not only jpeg/jpg extension).
Currently nelisquare doesnt perform any checks of image, just sends it to 4sq.

rm53 2012-06-21 13:28

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
Today I got v.0.3.16
but still no luck with photo uploading.
My Pics are from internal camera so they are JPEG for sure and way below 1 MB in size...

try upload photo (select it and gain "please wait" sign), wait for 2-3 mins (dont close an app, but you can move it background).
Goto feed, find your checkin, select it, and check if photo has been uploaded?

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
two questions guys:

* is it possible to earn mayorships with nelisquare, after checking-in a lot of times in the same place?

* are the "specials"/ promotions supported?

Yes it is but Foursquare kind of sucks at this in my opinion. My girlfriend just started using foursquare as well and she checked in at her work. There allready was a mayor. He was there 2 times in the last 60 days.
My gf checked in everyday, but even after the 15th check-in the other guy was still mayor.

So to become a mayor you'll need luck or a new venue without a mayor yet :)

yes and I waited even much longer, to no avail.
But I see photos that other people have uploaded...

Photo selection works, photo viewing works, only the upload process stalls soon after transferring the first chunk of data...

i agree.

little OT: i found this perl script to game 4sq

http://mayank.lahiri.me/4sq.html

i run it with my login credentials and the coordinates of a venue and venue id but nothing happened...api is changed or 4sq is blocking this hack?
