You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. It would be great if users could change the master password which was set during install.

    After the installation, it's not possible to change it or turn it off.

  3. Fix disconnection issues

    I run ChatSecure and it seems to disconnect me frequently. I have "Use Foreground Priority" checked (and get the icon in the notification area), and have the Heartbeat interval set to the default (1 minute). Yet still it disconnects frequently. This makes ChatSecure really unhelpful. Is this an Android background process limitation? A bug?

  4. Pics or Files

    Either with or without Orbot activated (on one or bith of test devices) we are unable to send pics or files. We did not have this problem with Gibberbot but with the new Chatsecure upgrade we are now experiencing this issue.

  5. More user friendly UI

    I am of the opinion that a more user friendly UI would move more people to use "chat secure" or XMPP in the broad. The UI could be affected by already successful software such as whatsapp.
    If the need arises, I can gladly provide some mockups.

  6. Better OTR compatibility to other messengers

    ChatSecure’s OTR encryption is not compatible to that of IM+ for example (and had also sometimes problems with the Cyberpunks’ OTR plug-in in Pidgin).

  7. Sync conversations across platforms?

    So I'm testing switching my IM needs all to ChatSecure for my Android devices, and Pidgin with OTR on my desktop systems, getting away from using the standard chat within Gmail. I notice I can IM just fine from either Pidgin on my desktop or ChatSecure on my Android devices, however the conversations do not sync between the devices: Whether that is ChatSecure on two different Android devices, Pidgin on a desktop, or any combination. The conversations are all "islands".
    In Contrast, when using google's Hangouts on Android, and the web-based chat inside gmail on a browser, those conversations remain…

  9. Work with Kontalk.net and other XMPP based messengers to improve push

    A solution to the disconnection problems would be a push service as far as i understand. Developers of Messenger Kontalk are proposing a XMPP Extension to realize just that. Such an extension should support using different push services, for example Apple, Google and Mozilla's.

  10. Enlarge chat font size, please

    Please enlarge chat font size or add option to enlarge it. Because default font is too small and I can´t read it.
    Thank you very much.

  12. Voice chat

    Hi.

    Nice app, but it seems not to support voice, right? Do you plan to implement voice support soon like Line, Viber & al.?

    Regards.

  13. reopen the chatlog on after closing a conversation

    So sometimes i need to close a conversation, cause there a WAY TO MANY open Chats.
    The problem: After reopening a conversation with someone, the log of the previous conversation is gone!
    This is especially bad when want to continue a conversation later.

  16. Make the app show verbose connection details

    An app that relies as much on security as ChatSecure should show more technical information for a server-connection. I want to see encryption- standards, strengths, mechanisms and all sorts of nerdy tech-stuff.

  17. Creat account an 'other' server

    Within the Creat-Account option,
    you can choose between 6 diffrent domains.

    I've got my own server, that's why i wanted to create a user on that one.

    I did notice that it's possible if you do it like this:
    username:
    username@myserver.tld
    server/domain: whatever

    that way chatsecure 'ignores' whatsever selected within the domain list
    and creates the user on my server (myserver.td)

    -> Add some sort of 'other' to the dropdown menu, where you can enter your own domain name :)

  18. Sorting contacts like in Pidgin

    Possibilities for sorting the contacts like in Pidgin (favorites, alphabetically, by status, by activity and/or manually) would be fine.

  20. More IM protocols

    It would be fine if ChatSecure supports more protocols like Pidgin or IM+ in future.
    * https://www.pidgin.im (AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk/Hangouts, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MXit, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo!, Zephyr)
    * https://plus.im (Neighbors, MSN/Live, AIM, Google Talk/Hangouts, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, Facebook, Yandex, Mail.RU, Odnoklassniki, Renren)
