FAQ

Q. Why am I not getting sound or vibration alerts?

A.  Make sure they are enabled in the settings screen. In addition for sound alerts, make sure the silence switch is not turned on.  Finally, both sound and vibrate only occur when the screen  is locked or the app is running in the background. In other cases it is assumed that you are looking at the monal app and dont need the additional notification of a new message.

 

Q. How do I remove contacts?

A. Swipe on them on the contacts screen and then tap remove.

Beta Testers Wanted for 2.0.4

If you want to test 2.0.4, please send an email to bugs@monal.im with the subject line “BETA: 2.0.4”. I want to make sure everyone who has had connection issues can use Monal.

In the body of the email you will have to include your device ID (UDID)

Locating a Unique Device ID with iTunes 7.7 or later
To do this, connect your device to your Mac and launch iTunes. In iTunes, select your device in the ‘Devices’ section and navigate to the Summary tab. Click on the Serial Number label to reveal the Identifier field and the 40 character UDID. Press Command+C to copy the UDID to your clipboard. (from Scott Means)

When you receive your beta, drag it into the Applications  folder in itunes and sync.  When you open Monal check about to make sure you have 2.0.4

 

XEP-0078 : Non SASL login

After discovering that jabberd14 servers ship without SASL support enabled, I have enabled non sasl login. Monal will try sasl login first and will fall back on legacy login if and only if that is the only way left to login.

I have tested with jabberd14  running on ubuntu 10
