Hello! Welcome to the eBuddy blog. Here we talk about our passion, the team and our products.

Colorful and faster: a new eBuddy Mobile Messenger

Posted by Vincent G. on July 9th, 2009

eBuddy Mobile: Buddy ListYou have been waiting for it, you have been asking for it, but the day has come: A new version of eBuddy Mobile Messenger has just been released. eBuddy Mobile Messenger version 1.3 includes some nice improvements which make chatting on eBuddy even more fun. Here is what you get:

Faster login

We have been working extensively on speeding up the login process and made it three times faster than before. You will especially notice this when you have a long buddylist, are in an area with bad coverage or have a slower connection.

Less data usage

Some of you you told us that eBuddy uses too much data out of your mobile data plans. eBuddy Mobile: ChatAlthough eBuddy was already pretty data efficient, we took a good look at it and found some more things to squeeze. Now eBuddy even uses less data than before.

Choose your own colors

Last, but not least, we also built in a brand new feature. You can now choose the color theme of eBuddy, to make it look the way you like it or match the color of your phone. And there is plenty of choice: blue, pink, green, purple, red, orange or black.

As usual we also made eBuddy compatible with more phones. :-)

    I wold really like it if ebuddy made a messanger like msn hotmail because i really like that one but my computer wont let me go on it. So that would be great.And make ebuddy so you can download it on your computer so you dont have to go online for it, it take to long. Ok thank you.

    P.S. Make it fast trying to repair it to make it better:)

    I go to get.ebuddy.com from my phone (android) and it gets me to choose a brand of phone, i choose HTC but then it does not have android.

    I really would like to start using it in my mobile phone. I also cant find it in the Android Market.

  3. James Says: July 10th, 2009 at 1:17 pm

    @Marta

    Androind is the operating system your phone has on it. If its HTC then its probably the HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) or HTC Magic.

    @Ebuddy
    Updates to the messangers data usage are always useful , although the data footprint was always pretty low anyway. On the LG Renoir I still can’t get sound to work on T-Mobile, which is a shame as it makes an otherwise good IM app fairly useless…

    On P1i, when I use “Type directly in chat screen”, the backspace key closes the chat window ! The chat history is not maintained I reopen the chat window with the contact. Please do fix this. Love the colors.
    TIA.

    I have been using e buddy for a year now and all I can say with their service is excellent. Now that they keep on updating their features, what else can we ask for?

  8. Abzzz Says: July 11th, 2009 at 6:01 am

    when viewing a contacts profile. we cannot view the personal message
    please fix this..also the ‘close chat’ button is a lil confusing
    also…when i delete contacts..they appear again once i log in the next time..this is annoying
    otherwise gud step
    i like the loggin in speed very much

  9. Jack Says: July 11th, 2009 at 5:30 pm

    Wow, nice to see ebuddy developing with time, looks coller than ever now :)

  10. Lilie Gracia Says: July 12th, 2009 at 7:42 pm

    my phone is huawei u626. and please, it is not listed in the type of phones/brand. I really want to download the latest version. currently I’ve been using the 1.2 version so far it is satisfying. please email or reply me if huawei u626 is supported or not. thank you, you’re highly appreciated.

    hi, I have a Blackberry Curve 8310, blackberry appears as my brand when I try to download on step 1, but I have no options to select the type of model on step 2, so it doesnt download…. do I still have any change of dowloading any of the versions of ebuddy on my phone?
    Is there a phone that is compatible with BB 8310 to download any other phone version and use it?..orrr there are no more options for me just to open ebuddy on my browser every time I would like to chat :( ..THANKS!!!

    I’m using Nokia E63 and i can’t find the backspace button when i chat directly on screen.I see people facing the same problem please fix it ebuddy..love the colors though

  33. Paul Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 9:25 am

    I Like all the new changes u added but why there are some options have been removed such as let me see the personal message of my contacts…second when i select to review my contact list into groups it divided them to another contacts and it did not show me all the groups that i have on my windows live messenger…

  34. Elly Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 11:11 am

    I like the new colours but I hate how it works on my LG. I’m downloading the old version - 1.2

  35. Elly Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 11:14 am

    It’s probably just my phone but I can’t minimize it like on my friends phone, I can’t read texts or do anything when I am on ebuddy. Also I am unable to upload display pictures or send photos. My phone is a LG KF510. I REALLY LOVE ebuddy and this application rocks! I especially love the vibration and sound alerts, this is what sets it apart from EVERY OTHER app. THANKS! (but I am going back to version 1.2 coz my phone is dumb). Can you fix this at all?

  36. Elly Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 am

    Damn I can’t get the old version!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :’-(

  37. nina Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 11:53 am

    sorry but where i can find ebuddy 1.2 please !

    sorry i m french :)

    good day

  38. deranged Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 3:46 pm

    I’m on an e71, backspace doesn’t work too, are there any workarounds besides not typing in the chat screen direct?

  39. nina Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 8:37 pm

    @ fou : how did you get it to work ? i use E71 too

  40. nina Says: July 22nd, 2009 at 8:38 pm

    sorry it’s a traduction !!!
    @ deranged : how did you get it to work ? i use E71 too

  41. Hanny Says: July 23rd, 2009 at 11:36 am

    I’m using e71, the problem is the same with others. Backspace doesn’t work!! akhhhh I can’t delete my wrong words. my other problem with ebuddy v 1.3 is all my contacts become double. it’s so disturbing. it didn’t happen like that in v 1.2. pleaseee can i have the old version back? or please fix it soon. thanks..

  42. christian paramon Says: July 23rd, 2009 at 12:13 pm

    do you think the e-buddy personnel really read our comment here?
    I dont think so…

    I bet it must be hundreds of mail they accepted through the feedback@ebuddy.com, but we all havent got any solution yet.

    I hope this is not because the ebuddy developer think it’s a freeware, so it’s up to us if it related to customer satisfaction…

  43. Hans Says: July 24th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    The file downloaded isn’t compatible with my SE W302 because It’s .jad and not .jar
    My phone only work with .JAR not .JAD Please Ebuddy, can u fix it?

  44. dr_spoiler Says: July 24th, 2009 at 6:43 pm

    gr8 version ,,,, I HOPE E.BUDDY WILL SUPPORT SENDING FILES SOON ,,,

  45. guixiang Says: July 24th, 2009 at 8:18 pm

    why so hard to look ebuddy mobile older versions???

  46. hafez Says: July 27th, 2009 at 3:35 pm

    will the upcoming version have “File Transfer”? i wish it does because it is to send any file, music, pic or documents to my colleague, which also i can receive even when they used computer. i really would be happy

  47. jdcr Says: July 27th, 2009 at 4:36 pm

    Same here, it seems that E63 and E71 has no backspace, so it would be quite impossible to chat with the chat direct. Fix it please….

  48. hafez Says: July 29th, 2009 at 9:36 am

    yeah, that’s right..fix the chat direct to more specific

  49. Alex T Says: July 29th, 2009 at 11:22 am

    Hi, for anyone who needs to rollback, the old version 1.2 is here:
    http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/820453/
    May be worth asking the uploader to hang on to it for a while!
    Works better on my phone too, SonyEricsson W300i.

  50. Carleen Says: August 4th, 2009 at 5:59 am

    Would be great if it works with my T-Mobile G1. Also, will it have some sort of notification when buddies sign in and out? Thanks !

  51. Ivar Says: August 5th, 2009 at 11:58 am

    @Carleen: eBuddy is also available for your T-Mobile G1 :). Just look for it in the Android Market or download it via http://www.getjar.com/products/10717/eBuddy

  52. monsterkitik Says: August 12th, 2009 at 3:35 pm

    I think skin not realy nice, because background display for posting still white.. color line only.. hopes next version will be great !

    Oops!

  53. monsterkitik Says: August 12th, 2009 at 3:38 pm

    We’re working on a fix for the eBuddy app for the iPhone/iPod Touch, but in the meantime you can just delete and re-install it, this should solve any issues you might have… We apologize for the inconvenience!

    I tried it so fast login.. but chat on facebook always disconnection.. support take a picture in memory phone. but still difficult to put numeric and symbolic when using direct fast writing.. i think ebuddy must be edit it. no diferences about beta version with current version.

  82. helena Says: December 9th, 2009 at 4:12 pm

For uppercase like &, !, etc, i use the bottom left corner key in my hp instead of the shift key. Wondering why. And i tried to uninstall and install but failed. Please tell me how to delete ebuddyID and try again? Thanks!
