BBM Group Chat Question

BBM group chat question - from time to time, additional chats show up in our group that have no messages in them. When someone posts in one, the whole group sees it and the admins can delete it, but otherwise they tend to be localized to one or two members and we can't remove them. Is there a way for a non-admin to get rid of one of these chats? My understanding is that if I had started it that I'd be able to delete it but since I'm not the creator I don't have this option. Thanks.

Z10 BBM Group Chat Disappearing

Hi,
I have a z10 its the first time i joined a group and everytime i close the chat window and then reopen the window i do not see previous messages. I have all settings switched to save chat history, i've even changed the setting within groups to save chat history for a month. When i open windows for my individual chats the history comes up.
Does BB10 allow you to see the history of the groups conversation evertime you open the window just like individual chats? if so can you tell me how to do it.

Hello cashami,
Thank you for your question regarding BBM group chat history.
You need to tap on the group in BBM and select chats to see your last months worth of conversation within the group. Are you unable to see this? Does the Chats box display as blank?

Sent messages can not be seen by other members in BBM Group Chat

Hi,
Need help to overcome my current problem with BB Messenger .... My sent messages cannot be seen by other members in all BB Group chats, but I receive all chats from members ... I can still chat with the same members on one-on-one basis (not in group chat) .... Does anybody know what goes wrong?
FYI, I am using BB 9550 Storm2 with OS v. 5.0.0.607 with BBM ver 5.0.1.41
Thank you for any inputs.

Hi there,
Try leaving the group and then have someone reinvite you again. In most cases, this resolves these sorts of issues.
I hope that helps!

BBM Group Chat Loggong

I was able to log the peer-to-peer BBM chat history for some users after set the Disable BlackBerry Messenger Wireless Synchronization IT policy rule to No, but realised that the Group Chat History is not logged, is that true? or any setting can capture the Group Chat history as well? Thank you very much.

BBM Group Chat Message Retrieval - Help Make a Mother's Day!

Hey folks,
I recently returned from a trip abroad and while away I sent to my family various messages to a little BBM Group my younger sister help set up of what I had done the previous days. For some reason that remains to be seen, the default setting on BBM Groups is keep messages for 3 days. Needless to say, there were a few messages that my mom really liked and wants to save, but she isn't technologically inclined and they have since disappeared from her phone.
Is there any way to get these messages back? Perhaps a phone restore to a few days ago or something? Or is there someone I can call at BB or my carrier (Rogers) to get them to retrieve it? Surely it's saved on a server somewhere.
My mom woke up this morning stressed beyond belief that she's lost one message I sent in particular (the one reflecting on the trip as a whole) and she would love to be able to save it.
Thanks, and to the mothers out there: have a happy mother's day!

BBM Groups - conversations in group chats are always missing!

Hi, I'm a relatively new BB user. I belong to 2 BBM groups. All the group members are my contacts. In every single BBM group chat I miss parts of the conversation. It is very random what I miss and how much I miss. I can't follow the chat generally there is that much missing. There isn't a pattern, ie somedays I can see say contact x and y and the next day x and z. The chat never catches up, ie the missing conversation text never comes through hours later. I own a curve 8520 and my BBM group chat screen looks different to all my friends, they have later version BBs. I have version 5.0 software. I did an update for BBM via appworld, removed battery, left the groups, have been re-added and still no luck. I have no problem ever with regular BBM chat one-on-one with any of my contacts, only group conversations. My service provider have been no help despite multiple phone calls. Any ideas?

Send /get name chat command to this particular group chat.
If the returned name starts with #name, then this group chat is the old P2P group.
If the returned name starts with 19: then this group is the new Cloud based group.

Bbm group message problem

Hi, I am new to this forum so please excuse me if some of my questions seem odd. I have two questions about using bbm groups. A group previously set up and used frequently for past year or so now no longer is working.
Specifically, when I go to the group I show up as 'available and there is an icon of a key next to my name. The other members of the group show up as 'unreachable' and when I highlight each individual the message is 'you are disconnected from John in this group'. Each of the other individuals are able to chat amonst each other but can't connect to me.
Each of the other members have been re-invited and have accepted the invite but I get the same error. Any thoughts and help would be appreciated? Also is there a list of the various icons that blackberry displays anywhere to be found?

The 'key' icon indicates you are an Administrator of the Group.
You need to assign another member as an Administrator of the group, and then you leave the group, Wait a couple of hours or more, and have the remaining Admin re-invite you to the Group.

BBM Group on Playbook

Hi BB,
Serious question, when I am able to get the BBM Group on my playbook?
Is there any update for this feature? Or it's already exists and I can download the update.
And also for whatsapp, is there any group chat feature for Playbook like in BB handset.
Looking forward to hear the good news from you.

There is no official update on this. But there is a rumor that with BB10 OS for PlayBook MIGHT hake that happen.
Whats App andriod app ported to BlackBerry PlayBook is available and it works quite well. I'm afraid I can't comment of group chat feature.

Persistent Chat (Lync Server 2013) with Lync 2010 Group Chat

I have successfully deployed Lync Server 2013 and both 2013 and 2010 desktop clients connect and function as expected.
The problem is with Persistent Chat. It works perfectly with the 2013 desktop client but - whilst 2010 Group Chat connects - I receive the error message "The [LOGON_DOMAIN] is not available". No chat rooms are available and I am unable to search.
I have been unable to locate anything on the web which discusses the problem.
I do not know whether this makes a difference but the 2010 clients use terminals rather than dedicated workstations.
Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be?

Have you created a CsPersistentChatEndpoint to allow the Group Chat client (2010) to connect to Persistent
Chat server? Please take a look at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204901.aspx

Jabber 9.2.3 Group Chat Will Not Start

We're having an issue where about half of our Jabber installs cannot start a group chat. When you right-click and select "Start a group chat", you receive the message that you are about ready to start a chat with x number of people and to select continue. Once you select continue, nothing further happens, whereas on the installations that function, the group chat window then launches. Error message from logs below...
2014-11-10 14:34:37,252 ERROR [0x0000cf50] [sets\adapters\imp\components\Log.cpp(35)] [JabberWerx] [IMPStackCap::Log::log] - [XmppSDK.dll]: #0, CXmppMUCRoom::GetGroupChatServer , no MUC_SERVICE is available, please check the configure of server, bPersistent:0
Searched online and only found a few solutions that talk about enabling multi user chat on Presence... which of course it alreay is since half our client workstations can start group chats successfully. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and removing the user/groups and readding with no success.
Thoughts?
Cordially,

Is there a decent and newbie-friendly group chat solution available?

The problem: we want to move away from Skype for our group chats, but can't find a satisfying alternative.
What we do right now: we use group chats a lot, for various purposes, but mainly a) discussing certain topics, or b) planning activities/inviting people over, etc. People use all kinds of different operating systems.
Currently we use Skype for that. The advantage of Skype is its ease of use: users can create group chats by simply clicking on a few names. Chats are persistent: if you go online and come back the next day, you'll still be in the chat, and you will be able to read what was discussed in the meantime. If you add somebody to a chat, they are in it immediately, without having to enter a room address, or a password, or something like that. The participants of a chat control who gets added to it, and you cannot join a chat without being invited.
The disadvantage is its closedness, which makes us depend on a single vendor's client software and their monetary interests. Plus it has been bought by Microsoft, so the future of the already lagging development of the Linux version is unclear - and users of other OSes have been generally unhappy with the recent versions. Also users can not integrate Skype into already existing multi-protocol-messengers like Pidgin, they have to run the official Skype version at all times they want to chat at.
Quite a while ago a couple of us made an attempt to move our group chats to Jabber, but the acceptance was really low - opening a chat room was a hassle, they had to be password protected to be private, invitations weren't automatic, or the invitation features of clients were buggy, and by going offline you left a chat room, meaning people had to rejoin the next time they were online, and didn't automatically get to read the conversation that was held while they had been away. IRC is out of the question too, because it lags nearly all the features mentioned above.
Now I am wondering if anybody here knows about a free, open Chat software, that makes group chat (nearly) as easy as they are in Skype.

Well, IRC does not meet quite a few of our criteria. A typical chat lifecycle might look like this:
User A decides he wants to play football the next week. He starts a chat, adds 10 contacts that he knows might be interested, and makes a suggestion for a date and time. People come online, instantly see the chat and everything that has been written, answer, etc. Others join the chat later, see what has been said, and leave. Somebody might invite a couple of others to the chat, which will be immediately added. People play football, have a bit of postgame discussion, and then either plan the next session, or the chat dies.
I just do not see how this is a workflow that we can easily achieve with IRC - at least not in a way that people will be happy with.
- you can not automatically add people to a chat afaik
- chat history is not persistent afaik
- you do not necessarily want everybody to be able to just join a chat, but you also do not want to do a lot of configuration to restrict access to a chat/channel, when it might be about tonights event.
- people do not want to type /join #birthday_present_for_xyz, they just want to be added
I don't know why, but the openmeetings demo just doesn't really work for me - I get a lot of connection errors, it's painfully slow and hangs itself.

Lync 2013 Group Chat not working

We have a 2010 server and when I move people over to 2013 group chat does not work. I can select the people I want to talk to, but they don't see any of the conversations. When I move the back to the 2010 it works again.
We are running office 2013, lync 2013 and exchange 2010.
Any suggestions?

Have you installed Persistent Chat in Lync 2013? You'll need to migrate the group chat data to the Persistent Chat pool and setup a Persistent Chat Endpoint for the legacy 2010 group chat clients, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204901.aspx

Is there a way to leave a group chat on Imessage?

Don't get me wrong the group chat was a wonderful addition/feature to the Imessage app. After a while of being in the chat and the messages send back and forth no longer pertain you and you get 100+ messages and every second your phone is vibrating or your ipod music or live TV app is dimming and you cannot barely enjoy the basic functions of the ipod. That's when it comes to a point it needs to end. IS THERE A WAY TO GET OUT OF A GROUP CHAT? No offense to anyone to whom this may relate to but it feels like a gang that the only way out is to be killed. If there's no way out I think everyone with this same issue or agrees with me should post below and make a petition and complain to apple to update this because it is really annoying.

Hi,
It should be that in the list on the left of your Messages window that the conversation is question will show an x when you mouse over it.
Use this to end the Conversation.
Alternatively use the File Menu > Delete or Close Conversations options.

Help with BBM Groups

Hello all,
My question pertains to BBM groups which isn't specific to either BlackBerry 10 nor BlackBerry 7 and earlier, and I was not sure which one forum location would be appropriate for this question, so I opted to post it to the Downloaded Software section in both the BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry 7 and earlier spaces. My appologies if this was not "the right way to do it".
My question is one that I also posted on CrackBerry.com forums but after some time it seems I may stumped the community over there with this one.
Here is what I wrote over there:
"I recently created two BBM Groups and posted them here on CrackBerry with minor fuss. Yay for me. In each forum post I included a QR Code / Bar code of each BBM Group so as to make them easier to join. Yay for me again.
What I realised thereafter was that though this makes joining easy for anyone reading the posts from a screen other than their BlackBerrys, it does NOT make it easy for someone actually reading the thread from their BlackBerry and thinking to themselves "Oh hey, I want to join that group". At least, not that I can tell. I don't think it's possible to scan a QR code on your BlackBerry screen from the same BlackBerry, right? That's my assumption. If someone knows otherwise, please let me know, that would solve my issue.
SO, if I am right in my assumption and one cannot scan a QR / Bar code from one's own BlackBerry when said code appears on the BlackBerry's own screen, I am looking for another way to make it easy for someone reading the post to just "tap or click here" to join the group, to make as easy for someone who would be scanning the QR / Bar code from another source.
I tried getting the text URL for the group from the code and pasting it into a thread, but when it comes up in the CrackBerry app on the BlackBerry, the link is not clickable / tappable. I then tried adding the CrackBerry post editor tool's "Link" too to make the URL text an actual URL, though the only effect that had was that the URL appears clickable / tappable in the BlackBerry's CrackBerry app, but tapping / clicking on it has no effect. After making this change I tried to view the same thread post in my browser both on computer and on the Z10. When I click it DOES react but on the Z10 browser I just get a message "Unable to open bbg:<yadda yadda>".
So I've shared a lot of detail but the point I am really focused on is "is there a way for BlackBerry users to be able to join my BBM Group, on their own, as easily as if they had scanned the bar code, when all they have access to is the phone itself, and no outside media from which to scan the code"?
I am trying to avoid things like "Send me your PIN" and such because that just creates so many more steps and acts as a barrier to entry. Similarly, I don't see myself telling the reader "Just take this bar code you see here, and arrange to print or display it somewhere other than on your BlackBerry screen and then scan it".
Any input on this would be most appreciated!"
Essentially, I'd like to be able to post something that a BlackBerry user can look at on their BlackBerry, and tap / click on it, and boom they're done (i.e. they are at the same place they would be if they had instead just scanned the QR code).

I think there is a case for it. With any luck someone from BlackBerry will see the suggestion and will pass it along.
