I’ll do my best, for now I still need to do some rewriting for the next version. If you want to make sure I don’t forget your suggestion, please post it on: http://code.google.com/p/firc-chat/issues/list . That would make it easier to keep track of feature requests

Hi! I like fIRC but can you please make it support ISO-8859-1 too?

Fantastic! That’s all I’ll need for a 5 star rating for fIRC.

@Laurence Muller
“DCC file transfer is already working in my private build (60 kb/s over 3G).”
Should I take this to mean you’re going to add this feature into the public version of the app eventually? That would really bring me over into using your client!

Please add the /quote option for BNC users, this otherwise great app is now useless for me.

Hi. I just want to ask you to add operator commands, for some users they are extremely important. At least the most basic ones, /kick, /mode and /topic.

And by the way, firc is my most used app on my phone.

I once had this work, but now (since I had to reinstall after rooting my G1), I get nothing but a varied list of failures..

I usually see “not enough parameters” in the server trace followed by a disconnect. Sometimes it looks for a while as though it might have succeeded but the ier list is 0 users and the channel screen stays blank. someeimes it say ssomething liek “not registered”

I just type in irc.efnet.org as the server which should return dozens of IP addresses. I have tried just typing in one IP address from teh list but I get hit by the “not enough parameters” problem.

it’d be nice if the format for “default channel with password” were shown as an example (what is it?) name[space]password?

I’ve seen it run once. It’s so frustratingly close.

Yes. T-Mobile and the IP address trick worked. I pinged chat.freenode.net, grabbed the IP and it connected first time. I even waved at myself from my XChat on my laptop. Thank you very much. Now my wife has another reason to call me nerdy!

Thanks for the cool program.

Joel: Try downloading the log collector and run it after firc stopped working. It should create an email with a reason why firc stopped working. You can email it to the address found on the about page.

Hmm if you’re American (Tmo), don’t use chat.freenode.net it doesn’t seem to work properly (just hardcode a freenode server IP).
