question about notifier?
 

Is there any app that notify me when my friends come online . ( i mean coming online on a voip service like skype)

Re: question about notifier?
 

You can put a contact shortcut on your desktop. The availability
icon on the contact shortcut should change when the
friend goes online.

U mean that i should put all of my friend's contact shortcut on my desk top? Isnt it better that an app notify u by sound and a notification like that thing when an email arrives ? is there some thing or any under construction app?

Re: question about notifier?
 

No, I just wanted to be sure you didnt missed this option.
How can I know how many friends you have or that you
wanted to know the status for all of them.

Sure, it would be better. I don't know if there is an application. I do
remember that some users here already requested
an application for this.

I can take a look on how easy or difficult it is. Maybe a
statusbar plugin...

thanks a billion

Re: question about notifier?
 

I got a first prototype working.
For some reasons, listening on status updates stops after
the user starts and stops a conversation with this contact.
When I can solve this issue I can make a package for extras-devel.

thanks alot . im looking forward to see your app soon . thanks

Re: question about notifier?
 

That was more challenging than I thought. It took long time to figure out
why status updates aren't recognized anymore, after you recieved a
message from one contact.
(The rtcom-notification-ui statusbar plugin caused this).
It took long time to find out what happend exactly (The rtcom-notification-ui is closed source).
It took again long time to find out how to prevent this behavrior.

But finally it is working now. More work is to be done, as I don't have many
online contacts, I need some feedback from you.
What statusupdate you would like to see. Message about

-users going online?
-change statusmessage?
-go offline?

At the moment the notification shows this yellow bubble when a user changes the status.
I configured the notification to autodisappear after six seconds, that way it doesn't show the yellow
notification window in the task switcher view. I don't think we need this window, as long as
we only want to see this yellow bubble.

Vibration and/or Led-notification support?
What to do when the screen is blanked, turn on the display or skip
the notification?

Re: question about notifier?
 

this would be very usefull! But i think that just a popup is enaugh. When you let vibrate the phone you dint know or ur getting a message or its just a contact comming online.

bur vibration could be still an option...

Re: question about notifier?
 

Should be great if all those options can be set in a settings window! Looking forward to this app / plugin! :)

Re: question about notifier?
 

i agree with "having all options in a setting windows" idea.
thank u for your great work

Re: question about notifier?
 

Nicolai, thanks so much for spending time on this and your other apps. They've made the N900 a MUCH better device, and I'm sure many other users appreciate the work you've done. Great stuff, sir!
:)

Re: question about notifier?
 

Looking forward to it!

Re: question about notifier?
 

I would like to see in settings some options to chose from
1. vibration on/off
2. visual notification on/off
3 sound notification on/off

Also please let us know the name of the app so we will check from time to time if it's in the repositories :-)

presence-notifier

Ready for testing. Feedback is welcome.
I hope the settings page in the control panel is intuitive.
You can:
- enable/disable the notification
- enable for all status changes or only for "... goes online" notifications
- enable for all status message changes.
- configure the notification window (autohide notification after X seconds).

regards
Nicolai

thanks man . you are the best . thank you for spending your time on this project . I think its better to create a new thread about it or change the name of this thread ?

EDIT: I just installed the program and its really complete and it does all thing i want . thanks a lot :)

Re: question about notifier?
 

hello Nicolai
thank you too for spending your time to help us.
I have installed the app and I am facing problems with it.
it notifies me of online contacts as soon as I sign in.
it does not notify me when other contacts come online.
I have tried it with my 2 msn accounts. one on my N900 and the other one on my laptop.
status change does not work.
also I get the notification only for the first time and not everytime I go online with N900

Re: question about notifier?
 

Hello again.
I have installed version 0.3 and for the moment it seems to be working perfectly!
Online/offline and away, busy statuses are working for me
Thank you again :-)
