One of my friends deleted his account and I always get some random notification but I cannot open it, or delete the chat. Is there any fix to this problem?

Try long-tap on the entry and choose "Mark chat as read". If this doesn't solve the problem, please open an issue describing the error on https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-fernschreiber/issues

Great app, running very smooth on my partners XA2.  We looked at a few telegram options and this is the best for us.  
Just one question.  She's not receiving notifications from messages I send to her unless the app is open in a window, is this expected behaiour, or should she be able to receive notifications from the app running in the background without the app open and running on her device?

That's actually an expected behavior. We've had some discussions regarding a daemon, see https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-fernschreiber/issues/21 As a daemon is not officially supported in the Jolla Store and there is also no dedicated support for showing on the UI that a background application is running, this is not implemented yet. So please keep the app in the background - the cover is actuall really useful. ;)

It would be great to add a cover action to enable / disable notifications.

Moin Sebastian. Ich habe ein Problem mit Fernschreiber unter 4.0.1.48 und benötige Ihre Hilfe.
Choosing 'Neuer Chat' results in 'Sie haben keine Kontakte'. How can i choose an entry from my contactlist?
Another issue is, that there are notifications, that someone wrote, but there is only one chat named 'undefined' without content.
Thanks in advance.

No idea about the "undefined" chat (maybe try a logoff/login), but the contact sync is no longer working in SFOS 4. I hope, Jolla will make the contacts available again to 3rd-party developers.

Days ago Jolla did the next step with Koli 4.0.1.48. Something happend so i can see my contacts in Whisperfish (as a 3rd party app). But Fernschreiber doesn't like to add new chats (by missing contacts). Is there an workauround? Best regards!

One thing keeps bothering me, in front of my messages it says "you" and not "I". I would not allow the app to have its own person, it should reflect what is happening from my point of view.

That being said, I have nothing but praise for the app. It works great and is constantly being developed. The translations are also good, except for the problem of not communicating from the first person perspective.

You're right, I agree, in Slovak translation I used 'I' insted of original 'You'.

Fernschreiber would be a good start point to start an official Telegram app in Sailfish OS. Thanks a lot to developers!

A nice feature to enhance security would be to implement the local password option that is available on the official Telegram client.

Hi! Sorry if it's a duplicate. I cannot navigate back after forwarding a message. It seems that the page of the destination chat becomes top-level.

It's not a duplicate - according to my analysis it's a bug in SFOS4, see https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/4-0-1-45-pagestack-find-not-working-prope...

Be sure to leave a like at this bug report. ;)

I can't open PDFs using fernschreiber since the new SFOS 4.0 EA update. Is this a bug in the OS or in the app?

Yep, I also get an error message from the Documents app that the PDF is broken. Most certainly, that's due to the Sailjail infrastructure in SFOS4. The app needs to be adapted to work properly in all cases...

Maybe I found a bug. It would be ok if others can test as well. It seems that my friend who owns an iOS device can't play a voice note recorded with this app (but can play a voice note recorded with an Android app normally).

Known issue - the required standard codec is not available on SailfishOS, the replacement codec is not available on iOS.

actually are you sure the codec isnt available in Sailfish?
The sailfish app 'recorder' allows to save 'wav' files using the pcm codec...
This creates voice notes that ios users can listen.
Thats also one (twisted) workaround for the time being: reccording the voice note with pcm codec with 'recorder' app and then sending the wav file with fernschreiber to the ios contact...

Yes, I'm sure - the codec is Opus, see https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1td__api_1_1voice_note.html - quote: "The voice note must be encoded with the Opus codec". And yes, of course PCM is there, but if we switched to PCM, other people would certainly complain about the file sizes. ;) Unless Opus is there or somebody contributes a working support for Fernschreiber, it's not an ideal solution.
