The next beta might be handling this, nonetheless i'll look into this and verify

Now sending files seems to work BUT if you tap on the received file (Android) you can't open the file immediately. No issues before. You need to right click (using a mouse) and select save as.

I will update my issues soon.

However - still no green dot (newest beta-Version)

I'll try to replicate the bug with the received file, if it's persisting on your side @El4 could you make a new issue regarding this subject with some screenshot if possible ? ty

Have have ourselves added to the contact list and there is no green dot on the Android device; however, we are also signed in on Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon.

This Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon device does have a green dot.

This feature seemed to have broke when we upgraded to the swarm beta.

Thank you for all your work.

Thanks a lot to both of you for all the feedback it's really appreciated!

Could you give me the version used on both side from both of you (PC and android for example)?

Do this bug (green dot missing) happens with a swarm conversation / a non swarm conversation / both?

client-qt beta Version: 202109202016 deb edition from https://dl.jami.net/nightly

client-android beta version: 20210924-01 from Google Play

GNU/Linux version says Is swarm: False, yet since they are an intercom conversation and both are beta versions, should that mean they are swarm?

Thank you

If it existed, no, it's not replaced. As said in the article announcing the beta it's only for new.

Else, it means that a DHT message was sent and fallback triggered. Logs is the only way to know

Thank you Sébastien for your comment. Yes, it existed. When is it expected to work for existing conversations? Than you once again.

If we delete ourselves and then add ourselves is that counted as new?

probably not, at some point, old will probably be marked as archived and ask to be re-created. Migrating to the new structure will ask to much work and potential difficulties.

Deleting the contact from all the sides and start a new swarm will be ok

For ourselves, selected Remove contact on GNU/Linux.
Then added ourselves using Android
GNU/Linux now shows Is swarm: True

GNU/Linux shows green dot on the top left for the account and also in the conversation list.

Android still doesn't show a green dot in the top left or in the conversation list, even though we are online on both GNU/Linux and Android.

Thank you

For me: Android version of Jami never shows a green dot (newest beta, the last (stable) version of 05 did)

newest beta version (20211004-01): still no green dot

AND I think if your phone is going into to Power Saving Mode it takes longer to make a call (Android -> PC) although Jami is still running.

I did not test if it is swarm or non swarm: I just tried to call myself from the same account (but DIFFERENT network) and it worked. Before the last update sending files just showed "partner not reached".

In the past I was able to send files (PC-> Android) and if I clicked on the preview (NO right click, just single left-click) the file opened for example pdf in Adobe PDF (mobile). Although I think it was only temporary stored.

Now I had to right click and select save to open the received pdf file.

PC version (Windows 10): 202109211812 - so NO beta - and the should be no swarm (As far as I know the regular pc version does not have swarm - just the beta version?)

Android version (Android beta version: 2021092401): no green dot, I don't see my own account online, and the green dot of other person I call (in this case me (same account "Contacts") does not show up.

BUT: the PC version (NO beta) always shows the green dot

"partner unreachable" is a non swarm error. With swarm, the file will be synced across devices and retried automatically if necessary.

But the current "normal"(non-beta) version of Jami (Windows 10, 202109211812) does not have swarm?

Nope, not yet. Just Linux for now

Does the normal version of Jami for GNU/Linux now have swarm? Or is it only the beta version of Jami for GNU/Linux that has swarm?

If the normal version of Jami for GNU/Linux has swarm, we'll start asking people to Remove conversation and then add it again to activate swarm and help with testing.

Thank you

nightly (or edge's canal on snap) are swarm compatibles. Just that everybody is on nightly for GNU/Linux

still the case using the newest beta (issue regarding the green dot)

assigned to @mcallet

@mcallet it can't be in backlog + current iteration

using Jami Android (Version, 20211210-01 beta)

a new issue:

Now you can't see your own online status if you view the contact list. However, your account shows your online status.

Jami (version 20220121-01)

Now your own account is displayed right but your own online status (green dot) is still missing (Even if you remove your own contact and add yourself again).

@mcallet Can you fix this bug?

atm there is more important bug fix / feature under work.

Ok- Thanks.

@mcallet I just check this quickly. A dumb guess:

fun observeContact(accountId: String, contact: Contact, withPresence: Boolean): Observable<ContactViewModel> {
        Log.w(TAG, "observeContact $accountId ${contact.uri} ${contact.isUser}")
        val observePresence = if (contact.isUser) false else withPresence

it should just observe the presence no matter what. If it's a contact, the subscribeBuddy can be called and this avoid corner cases.

Also I see some case where withPresence is badly passed for contact.isUser. However, it's indeed not at all a priority, however it's a good first bug

changed title from Android beta: No "online" status (green dot), can't send file to "online" status (green dot) [of own user account?] in contact list is missing

@anaghshzan I saw you also created this patch: https://review.jami.net/c/jami-client-android/+/19894

Can you fix the last issue too?

Now your own account is displayed right but your own online status (green dot) is still missing (Even if you remove your own contact and add yourself again).

So the bug is that if I search myself and add my own account I should see the online indicator in the conversations list but it is not working now. Ok, I'll check it and see if it is a client-side bug.

Exactly. Windows 10 shows the online indicator of my own user account in contact list.

The Android app did show the online indicator in the past (Version 20210521-01, Non-Swarm) but was suddenly gone after one update.

EDIT: I'm not sure but maybe this issue is related: jami-project#1388 (closed)

But I think its a bug regarding the Jami Daemon?

Should be a pure UI bug of the android client: #1113 (comment 37196)
