Yes, you can see activity here: https://github.com/QtGram/harbour-sailorgram/commits/0.9

0.9 is taking so long because I have developed a new library for SailorGram and I have removed the one used in 0.8 in order to sync its feature with the android client faster (0.8 is light years behind).

Also, I'm rewriting all the client's UI in order to have a clean start (again).

There will be a public 0.9 beta testing during the end of november.

Happy to hear that!

THX for this. App works fine but I have issues with notifications of new messages. After restart all is fine I hear the sound, LED blinks and I can see it in events when message is received. But that simply stops after some time and I can only see new message in cover.

Great app. Useful, stable and simple. But stickers doesn't work.

harianilchandran's picture

thanks for your exciting app. I am using it on aquafish. But I cannot see messages from the groups I am already present in the app. There is an option for adding group. But is that for creating a whole new group.Is there any way to see messages from the groups I am already present. Thanks in advance.

Dax's picture

It's a supergroup?

It's not supported atm

petros's picture

Stickers does not appear on aquafish! any suggestions?

Dax's picture

The sticker's page?

MoritzJT's picture

Yes, the button does not take a Jolla C / Aqua Fish user anywhere...

Hi! I'm using your app and its very good but I have some problems: I can't share my position and stickers (I install them but when I tap on "sticker" nothing is happening!), "images", "photo", "audio" and "other files" works very well! Sometimes when I open the app and read a message I can still find it in events view! Sailfish version: 2.0.2.43
Ps. Sorry for my english!

Dax's picture

Are you sure that you are using version 0.8?

I have tested again the app with some people and there are no issues.

NOTE: You can't install the default sticker set

alfatuma's picture

Yes, my version is 0.8-2 downloaded from Warehouse on Jolla C!

Jordi's picture

Thanks for this great app!

And I have a request:

I would like to be able to send pictures without losing quality, is it a planned feature? :-)

And something else:

When the phone lose connexion, CPU usage of Sailorgram starts increasing. Sometimes, it’s so severe that the app is unresponsive and cannot be closed normally.

Dax's picture

SailorGram sends image as it is, I think that they are compressed by telegram servers.
If you want to send an uncompressed image it should be sent as file. :)

About CPU usage, it should be re-tested in 0.9 because I'm using the new library.

Jordi's picture

Thanks, eagerly waiting for this new release.

monkeyisland's picture

hi on Jolla C 2.0.2.48 there are no notifications Sounds anymore.

Maledictus's picture

Thx for applications, but I have 2 questions:

1) How to add stikers to app

2) How to join to chat via invite link?

Dax's picture

1) Long press a sticker (no, the default set can't be added)

2) It's not implemented yet

Maledictus's picture

thank you very much. Application is awesome!

Dax's picture

0.9 will be even better :)

Hi, and thanks for this awesome app!

I tried to run sailorgram in my Jolla C (2.0.2.43) but unfortunately it cannot connect... An SMS with the verification code reaches my phone, I input the code in the app but then it gets stuck in the "Connecting" page forever.

I have attatched the relevant piece from journalctl logs here if you're interested.

EDIT: Also, do you know how I can stop it from running at boot? Apparently it tries to login (in demon mode) every time I reboot the device and telegram servers keep sending me sms messages with verifcation codes, it's driving me insane...

thisisme's picture

I think I figured out what the problem was... I had enabled additional password in Telegram settings, maybe the app does not handle this scenario yet? Once I disabled additional password I managed to login through my Jolla C.

I don't know why the problem hadn't occured with Jolla1.. perhaps I was already logged in before I enable this setting and Telegram keeps sessions active forever?

Dax's picture

The daemon mode keeps sailorgram running foverer, if the connection is stuck you can quit the app from the pulley menu (there is the "Quit" option), 2FA is not supported (yet)

SKD's picture

I'm currently experiencing the problem that I can't receive any files. I think it's since I reset my sailfish installation. Is there any dependency? Do I need to install anything else?

Dax's picture

No, SailorGram is standalone.

Try to reset the client

Aslanex's picture

I do not like the feature of showing Loading title instead of input button, when disconnected, because I could write a message when disconnected and send it after a while, when online. I would be very useful in the metro! :)

SailorGram is awesome! Thank you guys for your work, I use this app every day!

LucaCimmino's picture

Sailorgram is fantastic.

One question. I'm new of Telegram and Sailorgram as well. In your app I have to add contacts manaully, they are not imported from my Jolla contact app. Is it normal?

Dax's picture

Contact integration is not implemented yet.

In order to see your Telegram contacts you need to install the android client first (it can be removed later).

Hey  @Dax, I am experiencing an issue with Sailorgram on my Jolla: Since a random crash of rhe app I am not able to open it up normally again.

If I do the following the app will just crash every time while connecting:

1. The internet is on

2. I open SailorGram

3. It loads, until to the connection phase and then crashes/closes immediatelly

 

I have to do the following to be able to start and use SailorGram:

1. Turn off all internet connections (WIFI and mobile inet)

2. Open up SailorGram

3. It will stay on the 'connecting' phase

4. Activate my internet again and it will connect without problems

 

Do you have any clue how to solve and debug this issue?:)
