PingChat! FOR ANDROID! (BBM-ish app)

[JohnnyBravo1000]

Your BB friends need to download PingChat and so will your iPhone friends.

Cheers, mate.

If friends of mine download this Ping business, then I suppose it could come in handy as an alternative to texting.

I'm having the same issues getting pings from iPhone users, taking hours. Running a Froyo based ROM here.

I played with this last night with my girl. she has an iphone and I have a HTC Inc. It works great except I wasn't getting any notifications. I need to open the app to see the messages. she sent a video too and it worked.

sucked uninstalled... ne idea how to clear the id saved to my phone?

Hi Enfick,

Thanks for getting back to me.

One more question. Are widgets planned?

Also I don't know if its a bug but when I send when I receive a message and Pingchat is already active it doesn't show the ping in the list. Only in the notification bar. So to see it I have to bring it down, click on it which reloads PingChat. Not the end of the world but nice to be fixed.

Check out the upcoming CrossTalk app...

NO WAY!? So I can chat with my old BBM buddies using CrossTalk??!?!?! They don't have to have it installed in order for this to work??? How much longer until it will be released?? Will it be a free or paid app?

Thanks!!!!

Should've unregistered ping ID before uninstalling.

I'm familiar with Google, thanks though. None of my questions were answered on the page for the actual app I'm talking about......

Here's a link

So, yeah

You sure about that? You asked 4 questions, two of them are answered on the link you posted (which also happens to be the first link Google comes up with in my reply).

From the link you posted:

Question 1:

So I can chat with my old BBM buddies using CrossTalk??!?!?!

That's right, your Blackberry friends are no longer out in the cold, message your BBM PINS from any of the other networks using CrossTalk

Question 2:

How much longer until it will be released??

CrossTalk should be available towards the end of August 2010 on the Android and Blackberry Market places.

My ping are received fine, just theirs take hours to reach me.

 

[kopkiwi]

Still nothing when ping ing iPhone users.

My gf has an iPhone, she gets my ping instantly, but takes up to 8 hours for me to receive her reply..

Shame cause I really love when this app works, sadly it's rather pointless when texting a mate during a match of 90 minute football and we can't reply for 8 hours.

 

[sookster54]

Yeah it's odd with the iPhone 4 vs BB/Android Ping'ers.

Anyways, would be nice if one day Ping got adjustable fonts, then it'd become my main text chat with other users on my contacts.

Testing with an iPhone 3G user... I do not get the notification icon on top of my Samsung Vibrant when a I receive a message

 

[Enflick]

[dctony2010]

I have a Droid X and I just downloaded ping chat last night. It won't let me link some of my contacts to the contacts in my phone in order to keep these people in my ping chat buddy list.

When I think I linked them and I tried to message them it told me "The conctact(s) you want to send message to contain(s) invalid ID(s). Message is not sent." So in my IM window I have to keep their messages open in order to message them and they don't recognize these users as ping chat users if I search for them.

Also, when I tried linking them I ended up getting 60+ linked contacts in their contact profiles but it never truly linked because I couldn't message them through my buddy list.

What is going on and how do I fix this?

I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the contacts and readding them.

 

[Enflick]

@ECS the contact issue will also be fixed in the next update! Please bare with us guys as this is only our 1.0

Enflick: Is there a reason why PingChat is so CPU intensive? I haven't received a single message in the past day, but System Panel is reporting that in the past 8hrs PingChat has accounted for 5.0% of my total CPU usage at 24m6s of CPU time (by comparison, the next highest usage over the same period was system, which used 2.7%).

Since the system is push-based, this seems odd. Even adding up all the system-related processes and Gmail (which is also push-based) together I only get 3.7% CPU usage, and that would account for alot more than just Gmail itself (from which I have gotten quite a number of emails over the past 8 hours).

 

[Enflick]

Will need to ask the devs and get back to you about this!

Is there a way I can get rid of the ads in PingChat!, im using an iPhone 4, do I have to buy something?

Well thats how they make their money if they're going to offer the app for free.

I think he was asking if there is a Paid version so he doesn't have to deal with the ads.

 

[Enflick]

Paid version will be available soon!
