Nefanasa Yahoo IM
Update:This app doesn’t seem to work any more. It just hangs displaying “Request Key” when you try to connect.
If you use Yahoo IM, you have to try this great find from BoostApps reader, Tal. It’s the first IM client I’ve seen that really works well on my i776. It’s quick, all the keys mapped correctly and everything fits the screen. Too bad it’s Yahoo IM only.
Nefanasa Yahoo beeps when you get a new message, but unfortunately only when the app is in the foreground with the flip open. If it would notify when the flip was closed it would be perfect.
This is version 2.1.0. The latest 2.4.12 version doesn’t work due to a required certificate that is missing on IDEN phones. The instructions on the Nefanasa site say that if you are using 2.1.0 you need to change the server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com but that doesn’t actually seem to be necessary as that is the default server.
One quirk about installing this app is that the download appears to contain two apps called “Nefansa Yahoo”. The first one installs and works but the second one gets an error. You can safely delete the broken one by highlighting it, pressing Menu and choosing “Remove”.

Installed flawlessly on my Motorola i465 Clutch. Sends and receives Yahoo IMs instantly, which is really impressive, and all the keys are mapped correctly (using the Motorola keyboard layout in Settings, but default Symbian seemed to work also.)
At first, there were no sound alerts when I received a new IM (even though enabled in the Settings) but after cycling the power on the phone, heard a loud sound alert every time. When Yahoo Messenger friend sends a Buzz, the phone vibrates. Only drawback I find so far is that when the app is suspended, will not hear/see any alerts, so almost pointless to keep it running in the background unless you’re actively chatting. Still, pretty nice app!
installed on my i465 but when I sign in it gets stuck looking for ‘request key’ then keeps going and doesn’t log me in? any ideas?
Thanks Dennis, this works fine on my i465
does this really work on your i465? I dl’ed it and the program gets stuck after I sign in saying ‘requesting key … then it just keeps doing that?
It worked when I tested it a couple of months ago. I don’t use Yahoo IM so I didn’t keep it on my phone.
OK I just tries Nefanasa again and it now hangs on Request Key for me too. I tried the newer version and they failed with an Encryption Error. So I guess Nefansa is now broken. I’ll update the post to warn people that it doesn’t work anymore.
yeah what’s a good alternate prog/app for yahoo messenger?
See: http://boostapps.com/tag/im/ Try eBuddy, Nimbuzz, MQIM or Mig33, they all support Yahoo
