JonnyChat


A free J2ME based AIM chat application.

Release highlights

1.22 - 04-15-09

A pretty experimental, but seemingly stable release that fixes a bug where bots with spaces in their name could cause fits. And tabbed chatting was added as well. Enjoy.

1.21 - 07-14-08

I made a fairly minor but major change to the networking code, which should make the application a bit more responsive to network traffic and yet, easier on the battery. Don't you just love situations like that? It's also possible that the buddy list got a little faster on some devices.

1.20 - 06-30-08

Updated to the newest version of J2ME Polish, which should fix a lot of issues. Also fixed a bug with the settings form.

1.19 - 03-30-08

The settings screen has gotten a facelift, and shouldn't be so craptastic anymore.

1.18 - 03-10-08

After nearly a year, we've got a new version of J2ME Polish, and a new version of Jonnychat. New features include the fix for the 'left/right after ending a conversation' issue, and a great new framed chat window. Once you see it, you'll never know how you used the old version.

When you report a problem, please send me the following information:
  • What happened.
  • How you made the thing that happened happen.
  • What phone you are using.
  • Your carrier and your data plan. I won't always know what you're using, but it's more helpful than not.
  • Where I can find an emulator for your phone. This item, when combined with items one through three, really increases the chances that the bug will be fixed.


And finally, I can't say this strongly enough... If your phone doesn't support J2ME Socket connections, this won't work. You'll know if it doesn't, because you'll get a connection error the instant you try to sign on. There is *nothing* I can do to help you with this! Adjust your phones settings.

What's new
  • Bugfixes.


Known issues
  • None at the moment

Screenshots:

Here are some random screenshots of the application in action. All shots were taken with the Sun J2ME emulator.

The ever so important buddy list.
This is the revamped chat window. The text input field is now always visible, and the chat portion scrolls independently of the text input window.
This is the settings window. It looks much better and just makes way more sense.
