I can confirm that the indicator problem is not gone yet. However, the "is writing a message..." problem happens if you are in chats view while the opposite starts writing and go to conversation view without prior reception of onPaused(). One interesting thing is, it seems like iPhones dont trigger the onPaused() when a message is send from them. Android and Symbian whatsapp does so. This means if an iPhone user writes you a message, youll get "is wirting a message..." but for the view to revert from "is writing a message" he needs to wait a few seconds after stopping typing for the onPaused() to be send. If he sends before this time has elapsed "is writing..." will stay forever. This does not happen with android or symbian whatsapp since these clients seem to trigger the onPaused() also when sending a message. Though there seems to be a difference between the clients, it could also be related to a messed up UI =)
