I am going to take this on personally.
xintros> hello, i am sorry to bother you but you just locked my topic on the forum.. is there anyone I can speak to or email about my situation?
xintros> #revoluti0n Cannot send to channel
revoluti0n> tmobile would be the only people
revoluti0n> i do not have any information beyond what i posted in the forum
xintros> so I need to contact Tmobile?
revoluti0n> it is not just you; it is all of tmobile
xintros> its one individual and all tmobile suffers or are there more involved?
revoluti0n> normally, when an internet provider fails to respond or take action, that is when the entire isp gets glined
revoluti0n> that is the only conclusion i can draw
xintros> so tmobile is not answering you regarding this? thats it?
revoluti0n> that is the only assumption i can make based on all the information i have at hand
revoluti0n> which is what i have given you
xintros> “assumption” i would like to contact someone who would know more about this please
revoluti0n> people way above me that don’t come online very often, and don’t check the forum
xintros> ok, well, do they have ANY contact info?
xintros> that i can use
revoluti0n> a) i don’t know who set it; b) i do not know who the individuals are that are authorized to ban an entire isp
xintros> well, i would like to find out. how would i go about that?
revoluti0n> i do not know. they do not advertise who they are
revoluti0n> not even to other ircops like myself
xintros> you have no supervisors or anything like that?
revoluti0n> i do, however, not even they know who can gline entire isps
revoluti0n> i am being completely honest with you
xintros> i appriciate that, but I would personally like to investigate this. I will call Tmobile and please just give me a starting point on your end
revoluti0n> my suggestion for a starting point would be to say something like this to them:
revoluti0n> “i used to use irc from my phone, but someone on your network got the entire network banned from the gamesurge network. you can verify this yourself and contact them to fix it”
revoluti0n> that’s about all i can think of
xintros> ok buddy, thanks for your help, sorry to bother you, but gamesurge is a big part of my life

So I guess it does not matter which irc app you use now.

force closes and not closing completely is an issue with many apps. I downloaded one of the free taskillers to close any app I don’t want running, then I kill the taskiller.

“I sent email with just three questions and never got a reply.” <– I was speaking about another Dev which was a "Pay" application I was thinking of buying.

Laurence sent me an email, just to ask how everything was going and I never even emailed him.

This works great for me. I was using gamesurge java browser, OMG!! and I was gonna buy one and download it. People in market apps claimed Dev answered e-mails, I sent email with just three questions and never got a reply. Good thing… firc is working fine once u get the hang of it.
GJ!

Seems to work great, once I got it set up properly. There is, however, one horrible problem. I leave it running indefinitely, and sooner or later it loses the irc connection, refuses to reconnect, and tries to force close when I try to close it, but never properly force closes, so I have to restart my phone to get it running properly again.

Barring, this, it’s fantastic. One suggestion, maybe it could automatically send authentication so I don’t have to pm every time I log in?

Nice app. I will definitely keep it installed on my phone – being able to connect to irc and talk to people is very important for me.

There are a couple of things that are a bit annoying, however:

* no auto-reconnect (possibly with configurable timer) – my phone disconnects a lot due to bad coverage in some spots I frequent.
* no scrollback in the input line (necessary to re-send stuff when the phone finds out it has disconnected after typing a long line)
* no configurable notification – I’d like to get informed when I get talked to, even on public channels
* App seems to get killed pretty often when I background it… (not firc’s fault, though… just either too little memory in the device or too heavy an application in the foreground)

But anyway – thanks for that great app!

Laurence Muller, Great job on this app. I really love it and like others have said i wouldnt keep my g1 without it.
Thank you so much and keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for this app Laurence. It really is the single thing that made me keep the G1. I love that I can connect to any server.
It took me awhile to figure out that the ‘realname’ wasn’t optional but other than that it’s very easy to use and i appreciate that.
Requests:: I don’t know what’s possible and what’s not so sorry about that.
The commands I need the most but don’t have are /oper and /gline I would be thrilled if the client supported Anope services i.e. nickserv, chanserv, and most importantly operserv. Also, a channel list would be good.

Thanks Again!

Thank you it’s working now. Leaving the realname and ident boxes blank is a bad idea. I couldn’t connect until i put something in them, and as laurence said dont use spaces, capitals, or numbers.

I dont have a support forum atm. Try changing your ‘realname’ and ‘ident’ to something without spaces, capitals and numbers. Gamesurge should work just fine.
