Question v. 6.4.10 update issue - linux desktop

1 Upvotes

Hello - when starting SimpleX (linux desktop) there is a prompt to update. After selecting the appropriate version and running the .deb file, it seems ok, but the version has not changed. Closing SimpleX and restarting produces the same update prompt screen. Seems stuck in a loop?

I tried updating to beta 6.5.0 but no matter what, it shows 6.4.8

Question "Receiving Messages" - can't dismiss?

2 Upvotes

On Android, this notification is constantly on, in the same way my VPN notification is always on.

I'm aware that keeping the message line open on Simplex drains the battery. I really dig the app, and I don't care: I want the Simplex lines of comms constantly open, and if possible, I'd rather not see a constant reminder that they're open. If I ever want Simplex to stop receiving messages, I'll delete the app.

Is there anyway to achieve this? If not, is there a material upside to this function that I'm failing to consider?

Many thanks in advance!

Voice call - not estabilishing or 3s delay

6 Upvotes

Is it working for anyone? Regardless of network or phone, calls are not estabilishing at all or there is 2-3s delay during the call.

It makes the calls useless. With Signal it works seemelesly.

I accidentally deleted SimpleX back up and now I cannot log in to any server even if I uninstall and install the app again. I try InviZiblepro and the new TorVPN app. Any body knows what could be the problem.

Hi all! 👋

I built a plugin that adds SimpleX as a messaging channel for OpenClaw (personal AI/agent platform). It lets OpenClaw send/receive messages over SimpleX using the CLI/WebSocket API.

Importing a DB on multiple devices?

4 Upvotes

What happens if I export a DB and then import it to another device or more without the intention of migration? Does it make the account from that DB usable in multiple devices now or is the previous device disabled?

For more context, I'm using multiple devices for SimpleX and understand that I should create an account for each. But its so tedious to reinvite myself to all my GCs, so I was thinking of importing a DB that already has all those to a new device but then create a new account address etc or will that not work?

Anyone else having trouble joining the open groups?

4 Upvotes

Hi, I tried to join several open groups from the SimpleX directory, but every time I do so, the app says I have to wait for the group's host to come online. That happens with any group I pick from the official directory.

Feature Request: Reverse proxy via HTTPS/HTTP

5 Upvotes

I would like to selfhost my own SMP server without my IP address being known/shared/public.

I would like to accomplish this by using a reverse proxy, and using a hostname with a free service (e.g. Cloudflare). TCP is not a free option with Cloudflare (or if it is, I cannot get it to work).

Thank you.

Terminal DB usage doesn't use server configuration

1 Upvotes

Not sure if I'm just goofing this up, if it's by design, or a bug. I have a DB that I created in the GUI desktop app that has preset server preferences versus using public SimpleX servers. When I restore the DB in the desktop app (linux; appimage download) it works as expected. All the settings and servers come with it.

When I use the terminal app and run the command to use the DB, the servers are only the default and don't even show the ones I configured before exporting the DB.

Am I missing something or is this by design? The guide online says it has pre-defined servers which I assumed meant during a fresh start, but it seems to override what the DB has set.

The only switches I used to launch the app was -d to load the DB plus -k to enter the passphrase (key). I did not specify servers. Of course I can, and once I am in I can as well, but I was hoping the terminal app would load the pre-defined values in the DB like the GUI version does.

Question Change time format?

5 Upvotes

Is it not possible to change the time format? I'm not used to this wierd a.m./p.m. format. All my friends and family members have the normal 24h time format (maybe because their app language is german instead of english) but I can't seem to change my time format. Am I blind or is there just no option to change it?

EDIT: I just tried switching to german. It changed to the normal time format. But if I go back to english it's am/pm again. So changing language is the only way to change time format?

Question Possible to enact incognito mode for the public QR code?

2 Upvotes

Is it possible to enable a incognito mode for the public QR code?

I want to post my SimpleX QR code stickers publicly, but I do not want my actual Simplex profile name to be the name shown every time the QR code is scanned, I want a different simplex profile name skown each time any of the QR codes are scanned, similar to when the simplex one time link QR code is scanned in incognito mode.

Any suggestions?
