haha, just watch, 6.0 is going to be released tomorrow and Nimbuzz will be incompatible once again! ;)

to late... i already purchased Beejive...oh well i guess

It's my first time with Nimbuzz and it was about time they get it fixed... it seems to work pretty well, way better than Beejive with Facebook contact management. I'm glad it's working and I think I'll stick with it until it stops working for another few months after an OS update...

As far as I know, it's working fine keeping connections with WIFI. I'll try it later with my 3G connection but that shouldn't be a problem. We'll see about long term.

Posted by damnyooneek Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

it doesnt push messages

 
 
Posted by zkyevolved Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

I thought I saw it on the appstore say that it was the first IM app to PUSH messages............ Did they remove that feature :S?

I have 5....423 on a 9700. Nimbuzz won't sign in, same problem as before.

Seems to be working well on a 484/497/536 verizon tour hybrid. Handy little program :)

Doesn't work for me.
Can't log into Windows Live Messenger.

Think they still need some bugs worked out .... Until then i will continue to pray for a FB chat app from RIM . LOL

It won't get to my storm via sms... why wont I get it?

I gave up on em & already bought IM Plus when it was 50% off. Totally worth the $$.

8330 support? I liked this app well enough because you could also run the nimbuzz desktop client at the same time and chat from either without logging in and out between phone and computer. The previous ver killed my 8330 with its constant data access and resource usage but I may try it again if its improved. Currently using the free IM+ Lite (ad supported) and it works pretty well.

Hmm. Not working on my Sprint Tour with the official 5.0.484, even after upgrading to the latest version.

 
 
Posted by w_bovine Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 703 days ago

I'd heard of this app before but never paid any attention. So I figured what the heck, I'll check it out. Not bad, not bad...especially since it's free.

 
 
Posted by TLS2000 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 703 days ago

Hmmm.. I like the price. :)

Have to get used to the interface though. I'm not 100% sure I like it yet.

I'm uninstalling this. My Bold 9000 was fully charged when I got home from work today and the battery was dead within 8 hours with ZERO usage on my part. The battery use on the phone was fine until I installed this.

Hi All,

This is Tobias from Nimbuzz.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback. Apologies that this took so long to fix.

If you want to drop us a line and send additional feedback or ask questions, please do that here: http://usa.blog.nimbuzz.com

Always happy to hear from you and thanks again for the patience!

We'll keep working on improving the app, which will remain free : )

Darn already beejive. Oh well

 
 
Posted by rj160202 Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010 703 days ago

I connected to facebook, did the birthday login, but the contacts dont show...anyone else?

 
 
Posted by dvalle Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Same here! Contacts don't show up. I'm on a Bold 9700 running 5.0.0.536 if that's helps...

 
 
Posted by rj160202 Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Yea, its strange, it shows im logged in, but all i see are my skype, aim, and yahoo contacts. the site they provided isnt too helpful in contacting them. This is a nice app, but if the FB im isnt working, im sticking with beejive and iskoot.

I dont understand this article. I have been using Nimbuzz on my Bold 9700 since it came out on ATT. (OS 5.0)

 
 
Posted by afropoika Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Nimbuzz was known to be problematic with OS 5.0.0.4xx, however it seemed to work fine with earlier OS versions like 5.0.0.3xx. Nimbuzz was updated from version 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 and this fixed the issue for me not being able to log in (I have OS 5.0.0.4xx). As it seems it still may not have fixed everything, a good amount of people are still having issues.

 
 
Posted by gpc Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

And you'll see that many others using OS 5 could not connect to the Nimbuzz servers. Glad it's working now.

 
 
Posted by Dany8907 Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Does nimbuzz push messages to bb?

 
 
Posted by TJM623 Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

love nimbuzz just hope they work on the battery suckage it causes, drains the battery super fast if u have a 10-15 min convo on fb chat

 
 
Posted by Barredbard Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

I wrote Nimbuzz about 3 months ago, advising them that their software was not working with OS 5.0, and that they were losing market share to Beejive and IM+. They didn't even bother replying. In the meantime, 3 of my friends switched to Beejive, one to IM+. I understand that Nimbuzz is free, but there is no excuse for such a lapse in service. Better to charge a small fee, than to have people quitting their service entirely. People who rely daily on programs like this will not wait 3 months; that is truly an egregious length of time.

Hi BarredBard,

I would like to apologize on behalf of Nimbuzz that you did not hear back from us and would like to kindly offer my help.

Please feel free to send me an email to tobias (at ) nimbuzz (dot) com

Hopefully I can help you out - and maybe you have tried the new version, which should be much more stable now.

Regards,

Tobias

Posted by Didum Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Posted by skipf3 Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

I have the same exact issue, with my 8900 OS on .509

wont connect. keeps trying to reconnect, but nothing happens

Please fix!!

 
 
Posted by Slapnpop826 Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Make sure you delete any previous version before installing. Also I had better luck downloading OTA from the Nimbuzz site as oppose to App World.

It takes a while after login for facebook contacts to show. It seems to still only be able to display up to a certain number of facebook contacts at a time.

I'm gonna alternate between Nimbuzz and IM+ Lite for the next week and see which one I like better.

 
 
Posted by inthefad3 Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

..for the few weeks that worked right before the 5.0 issue popped up. Because of this I've moved on as well and I am on another free multiple-IM app called IM+ Lite (it was posted on this site a few weeks ago). I recommend this app to anyone, especially those having issues with Nimbuzz. Battery life is good and from what I remember of Numbuzz, IM+ Lite handles FB contacts way better.

 
 
Posted by Str8Down Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Still can't send/receive files like you can with Windows Live Messenger.

 
 
Posted by jvictor77 Wednesday, Mar 10, 2010 703 days ago

Downloaded 1.1.1 after the long wait and with great anticipation. I’m on a Bold 9000 with OS 5.0.0.238. Nimbuzz still does not appear in the sound profiles. You cannot have more than one account per service. I do not see an option to send files or photos.
That’s it – I’m going with IM+ Lite. You can do all the above even on the free version. Might eventually upgrade to the full version.

 
 
Posted by chadman Thursday, Mar 11, 2010 702 days ago

I have my contact sorted alphabetically offline contacts hidden. It only displays to the M's for Facebook Contacts. It doesn't do this with Google, MSN, Yahoo, MySpace, or Skype. Anyone else having a similar problem?

I just uninstalled it because it literally drains my battery while i'm asleep at night
