I use a translation software the reverses and you can read what it is sending. VERY important. If you read my posts you know the story. I am having a problem with mobile QQ on my blackberry. I installed palringo but it is having problems establishing QQ. i do not know of any other English version of QQ for mobile phones. i would appreciate if anyone knows one.
I think there is a Blackberry version of QQ available, the interface is Chinese though, although it's not hard to figure out how to use it by trial and failure. QQ keep their protocol closed as opposed to other IM providers like MSN and Yahoo. That's why Palringo had to stop supporting QQ, iMove doesn't work and EQO doesn't either and stopped operating. So the only solution I found was to use a Chinese client.
You can see the available mobile versions
here.
Select your phone brand (the pull down is Chinese but the logos are displayed once you select something so you should find your brand with a little patience.
I am using QQ Mobile on a Windows Mobile Phone, WM6 to be precise on HTC Touch 3G (T3232). The older version of QQ mobile 2008 could not connect other than on GPRS, so it worked fine in China with my China Mobile prepaid SIM but not over here in France where I have 3G/Edge data access. The most recent build n°92 fixed this for me, I upgraded today and now have QQ Mobile 2008 running fine here in France, how cool is that?
There is a version for iPhone, and on the side, for people in China or planning to go soon, you can find the Chinese copy of the iPhone 3 GS with Wifi (the official one doesn't have wifi in China), of course GPS, Bluetooth, 3G HSDPA, Edge ... with the original iPhone software on it :icon_cheesygrin: and capability for double sim card for 850 RMB and probably less if you can't be spotted as a tourist. The phone seems to be on par the original, I played with it and the processor seems faster, it has the gravity sensor and all the nifty zooming panning and what have you on the screen, and battery life is supposedly better. Maybe it's not quite as neatly manufactured as the original, maybe the screen is not quite as good as the original, but it looks excellent all the same, I might get one to play with next time.
Maybe it would be interesting to start a techy thread on this? I'd be glad to help build a neat topic to introduce QQ to forum members. This could all go in a forum subsection like telecommunications, information would be much easier to find than right now.
Any mod opinion on this? How a bout a techy section in all about China?
Cheers,
Frank
On the subject of QQ, I keep getting people wanting to add me to my buddies list. My lady wasn't at all pleased when a random lady added herself to mine when I was in China. Are these people likely to be scammers, women in search of husbands or rogue computer viruses? I used to get a similar thing with the AOL IM thing but the same doesn't seem to happen to MSN.
:huh:
Brett,
There is a privacy setting in the control panel where you can adjust settings so nobody can add you.
