Another way to read the long messages:
1. Take your curser to the starting of the long message.
2. Press Key1 and select the option Message submenu.
3. Select the option Copy from the menu. Now the message has been
copied to the clipboard.
4. Open the messaging application press Key1 and select the option
Editing submenu.
5. Select the option Paste from the menu. The message has been
pasted into your messaging application.

Now you can read the message with Up, Down, Left and Right arrow keys.

 @ Payal. i've figured out a bit lengthy way to turn off the packet
 data and thus stop the consumption on the battery. its not perfect but
 works like a charm in a pinch. you will need to install an app called
 M guard which is free from nokia store. run a memory check post
 installation, and disable whatsap from starting automatically. now if
 you want whatsap to stay completely off and not use packet data, just
 exit it and reboot your phone. whatsapp is now not enabled and thus
 ensures your packet data stayhs off. if only i could figure out how to
 do this without re booting my phone ..
 thanks

 I second Hozefa though do not have a C5 handset but N79. A couple of
 options
 that have become accessible include:



 * Contact Info

 * Names of group members in Group Info

 * Status options

 * About screen



 Also it's installation program is completely accessible now. However,
 there's still room for improvement in the following areas:



 * Smilies

 * Contact name in long group chats

 * Line-wise scroll in chat window



 Here's a lengthy workaround for reading long chats (group as well as
 individual):



 * Open the chat window.

 * Select Options (using [key1]) and then Chat History  Send.

 * Press [key2] when it presents various sending options.

 * A text file is created which can be found underMemory
 Card\WAExport folder using the File Manager program on your phone.

 * Press the [Send} or green key, it lists various sending
 options.

 * Select via Message which is generally the first option, the
 file
 content appear in the body of a new text/multimedia message (depending
 on
 content) with a blank To box.

 * The chat can be read now like a SMS.

 * This message can be closed using [key2], while closing the
 message
 you can decide whether to discard it or save as a draft under your
 phone's
 Messaging program.



 If someone knows of a better option then kindly suggest. I'm not willing
 to
 shell out on IOS/Android for now (lol).

 Hi Divyanshu,



 Nope, no luck there. i had also expected to see some more

 accessibility on whatsapp but am left wanting.

 There is no other version of whatsapp that can be used but the one you

 might have. in any case it forces you to upgrade everytime there is an

 upgrade available. i have tried endlessly to be able to get better

 information on a group chat, to no avail.

 In fact there is a strange thing happening when i look at contact info

 of any contact. once in a way it flashes all the details a contact

 might have put up like status, last seen and so on. but, this is not a

 regular occurance. i am in fact looking for a solution to this as

 well. have you noticed this ?

Note that the trick is good for reading a single message not a complete chat
if one desires to.

@Payal: I checked on my phone and found that It's behaving weird - it reads
contact info of the selected contact from the chat list while it doesn't do
so for the selected contact from the Favourites list. This too is not
certain. Thanks for the mention so that I could discover this.

[Mobile.AI] Alternative to whatsapp, but only on android.

2014-02-26 Thread Divyanshu Ganatra
http://www.kontalk.org/
What is Kontalk

Kontalk is an effort to write an instant messaging system - primarly
designed for embedded devices, especially smartphones. Though currently
there is only an Android Client, it aims to be cross-platform compatible.
iOS, Symbian and even a desktop client will be developed (developers
wanted!).
The network

*Kontalk is not owned by anyone*. The network is run by the community for
the community. The network of servers can virtually be expanded to an
infinite number. You can also set up your own server! We believe
communication is a human right. Therefore, anyone on the planet should be
able to connect freely and for free. Kontalk is designed to be free and to
remain as such *forever*.
Distributed network

The Kontalk network can continue running even if just one of the servers is
up. The network itself is designed to not allow any single point of failure
and it protects itself from broken servers.
Security

All data exchanged inside the Kontalk network is *encrypted*, and user IDs
are always hashed, so that even the server owners cannot retrieve the phone
number of a user.
Web of Trust

The Kontalk network of servers is public: anyone can join with their own
server. A server is untrusted at the beginning. By means of a voting system
- based on strong asymmetric encryption - and by working actively in the
network, it can become a trusted server and get more privileges.

Subject: [Mobile.AI] BlackBerry Q20 with 3.5-inch touch screen,QWERTY
keyboard announced

good for those who prefer the qwerty phone over touch screen phones.
since it has blackberry10 OS,  should support the screenreader as wel.
the new blackberry screen reader is not very good though as it is
still in developing stages.
the news follows:
 BlackBerry has also announced the BlackBerry Q20, the company's
latest BlackBerry 10 smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard. It has
hardware keys for Menu, Back, Send and End and a Trackpad, similar to
the BlackBerry Q10. It has a 3.5-inch touch screen display, that is
the largest display ever on a QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone. Commenting
on the new phone John Chen, Executive Chairman and CEO at BlackBerry,
said Today, we're delighted to announce the new BlackBerry Q20
smartphone, which is designed to give you the distinct experience that
every BlackBerry QWERTY loyalist and high-productivity business
customer absolutely loves. With the BlackBerry Q20 smartphone, you'll
get the familiar hard buttons and trackpad that you want, along with
the best email service, the best keyboard experience and the best
battery life possible. The phone has all the BlackBerry 10 features
such as BlackBerry Hub, enterprise connectivity with BES10. It has a
large battery for superior battery life, says the company, We don't
have any other specifications or an image of the phone yet. The
BlackBerry Q20 smartphone would go on sale in the second half of 2014.
No word on pricing or launch date yet.
