Hi!
This week we released a whole new version (1.3) of eBuddy for Android in the Market. Here’s what we changed:
- - Faster & secure login: Login now takes you to your buddy list much faster
. Plus, it’s even more secure than before. - - Auto-login: Not only the login speed and security is improved, but you can also choose to automatically login when you start eBuddy.
- - Typing indicator: You can now see when your buddy is typing a message, right from the chat screen.
- - Back-key improvements: We added some new ways of navigating the app with the back-key. For instance: you can now exit from the login screen using the back-key.
We’re already seeing some really great comments from you guys about this new version in the Android Market. For example:
“Fantastic application would recommend highly!!
Terpischore @ 2009-10-08 – 5 stars”
“Best all in one now since i can back out of the app 5*s
mstee @ 2009-10-08 – 5 stars”
Thanks for those kind words 
!
If you have an Android device, such as the HTC Magic, T-Mobile G1, or the HTC Hero, you can already download eBuddy for Android from the Market or directly with your barcode scanner:
Enjoy!

i can’t find it from the MARKET~
is there any other way i can find it?
I am not able to locate??
I can’t upload a picture as my avatar, is it because of my g1 model?
hungary?
Qui parle français ?
I can’t up load my image
This program works great! One thing that would be a great new feature would be the ability to log on ‘invisible’. It’d be fantastic to be able to do that for when you just want to check messages quickly, without a bunch of folks all wanting to chat.
Can’t find ebuddy in the market on my galaxy ? anyoneee help
SUGGESTION - Instead of having to go to the menu to close conversations (3 steps: click into convo, click menu, click close conversation), we should be able to long press to have a dialogue box pop up asking us to close (with a do not ask again checkbox so we can just close a convo with one long press (1 step!!!).
FIX FIX FIX When I add my facebook account it is listing my .edu address as invalid. After testing, it is listing ANY email address as invalid and not adding facebook to the buddy list. Please fix.
Me2, can’t find ebuddy in market with my Hero…why?
i like this page
hello there, i have the same prob too!! does anyone know how i can find it on android market?
1.I can’t find eBuddy on my market. I use Htc Tattoo, which base on Rom 1.6.
2.The chat font is so small, can I change it to more big size?
3.I send my feedback over email yestaday, but I have not recevied any messenge.
I am using HTC Hero and I can’t find the ebuddy app in Android Market.
What is the name of the app? I have tried to search for ebuddy but no result.
Let me know.
Thanks
BTW, I have tried the above bar code. It said cannot find….
hola mi amor
We Droid owners are dying for you to fix up the display problems on Android 2.0.
I just purchased a new HTC Hero in Canada (TELUS) and eBuddy cannot be found in the Android Market.
got an htc hero… its great, but the font is toooooo small, there’s no option for fonts in settings… its very inconvenient, but the thing is i’m stuck with it as ebuddy happens to be the best im app in terms of reliability/stability….
2ndly, wish i could add a name to the im ids, so the names are displayed instead of the ids… as you know, people dont always use their names as id (many cases ids are completely different from names) … so if the names are displayed instead of the im ids, i know who they are… of course ideally, this app could link to the contact dbase, so when ebuddy detects a contact with an im/email id and this contact is already in the friends’s list, then it pulls and displayes the name instead of the id…
but the font is toooooo small, there’s no option for fonts in settings…
i am using htc hero bought from singtel singapore, ebuddy is not found in android market .. wats wrong???
It would be great if it supports invisible login.
any new ver? can set the font size?
Great app! It’s much, much better than any other IM app available for android.
It would be nice to have the option of connecting to arbitrary Jabber/XMPP servers. eBuddy must already have XMPP support since it supports gTalk, so it wouldn’t be hard to add a Jabber account type which lets you specify a server other than talk.google.com.
Good work. Thanks.
I would also like to vote for additonal Jabber/XMPP account support + the ability the be invisible would be nice.
I cannot for some reason change my display name from ‘ng’. I can change it while in logged in but when and if I log off and log in again, it reverts back to ‘ng’!
I even tried to sign up on a different account and it does the same damn thing!
Any ideas or suggestions?
I am using the new Motorola milestone and i am having connection issues when i use your e buddy application.
Although i am unsure if the problem lies with the firmware.
But i get no connection drops when i am using the browser on the phone.
Finally, names showing up for ICQ contacts integrated with AIM rather than numbers. Yay! BUT….
It constantly appears to be logging me off. Every time I switch back to it from another app, it has to log me back in.
If it can’t keep me logged in, and receiving messages, it’s not of much use.
I can’t seem to change my MSN display name. whenever i restart ebuddy, it goes back to the same old nick again. Is it just me or what? Using HTC Dream
Also would like the sign in as invisible feature, and an option to have the messages displayed more like the android messaging app. Talk bubbles are neat and all, but would rather have the space used for a bigger font. Seems a waste to have to use such small type just to have silly little cartoon speech bubbles.
And I also have the problem of it signing back in every time i leave the app and come back. Even if only out of it for 5 seconds. Then I get all of my messages 2 or 3 times. This makes the app nearly useless, and I really WANT to use it and like it.
Yet another request/vote for specifiying the XMPP/Jabber server to connect to!
Also, in FB Chat it doesn’t indicate if the contacts are idle or typing… would be nice to have that functionality.
Great app! Thanks!
I found the display name disappeared when I login eBuddy again. I was thinking where did HTC hero store the old name?
Also, I don’t like the “bubbles” as well, simple line spacing is good enough.
I get a missing e_password connection error when connecting using my mobile carrier but not using wifi.
Please correct
“I get a missing e_password connection error when connecting using my mobile carrier but not using wifi.”
I’ve the same problème since yesturday !
Before, there is no problem on my Samsung Spica …
Where’s the Jabber support? I see GTalk, which uses Jabber, but not Jabber itself.
i downloaded v1.5 to my htc hero recently and it seems to be full of bugs. i’m never online on other people’s contacts, i lose connection constantly (could be my phone) and things just dont get updated regulaly.
are there people experiencing the same problem? can someone please help?
Facebook chat very problematic.. i can send messages reliably but the recipient cannot reply. I’ve logged out/in countless times, deleted the FB account and then added it again with nothing improving the performance.
eBuddy reports who is online reliably but their messages are only intermittently coming thru, maybe 1 in 20, often nothing at all other than the first one. The FB page on the PC reports me as online if a message is recieved from me but as soon as that person replies, the chat box reports that i’m not there anymore..
my device is an HTC Hero on Vodafone UK and these tests were done with almost full 3G/HSDPA signal. the FB environment is reliable on the PC with all chat functions operating cleanly to other PC clients.
hope you can fix this… if you can prove its rock solid, i would pay for the App….
I can’t believe no 1 asked for this in the comments. I would like to be able to have group chat with this app like the Iphone app has. Most of my friends have the iPhone. So it would be nice to group chat not only thru droid phones but cross platform as well. IPhone had this in there app would be nice to have it on the droid and other smart phones as well. Btw I own the HTC Eris. Thanks
Another “need jabbers support please” request.
And yet another “Please add legacy jabber support”.
Great app otherwise
Great app - but need jabber to make it work for me - my company uses Oracle Beehive -
I love ebuddy, been using it for quite a while and honestly it’s an amazing app but i’d appreciate it if you’d develop ebuddy for windows mobile.
Another request for generic Jabber support. My company uses OpenFire which is a Jabber chat server. Any chance of an official word on this?
Also, auto start on the android app would be a bonus.
Jabber and delivery acknowledgement would be nice.
