Presence and Status Indicators

SolSwitch Connect allows you to share your online status and phone presence with Buddies. When you launch SolSwitch Connect, your online status is Available.

You can also view the status and presence of your Buddies.

Status Indicators and What They Mean

Icon	Presence	Definition
	Available	People can call you and send you an IM. If no custom status note is specified, SolSwitch Connect automatically switches Available to On the Phone when you make or receive calls.
	Away	People can call you and send you an IM.
	Busy	People can call you and send you an IM.
	On The Phone	When you make or receive phone calls, SolSwitch Connect automatically updates your status to On The Phone if your status is Available and no custom note is specified. When your call finishes, your status goes back to Available. While you are on the phone, you can still send and receive IMs.
	Do Not Disturb (DND)	No one can call you; the call fails and your History shows a missed call. Buddies can send you IM; an alert comes up on the Messaging tab without any sound.
	Appear Offline	You can see the presence status of your Buddies but your Buddies see you as offline. You receive phone calls and IMs if your Buddies do contact you; they are unlikely to do so because your Buddies cannot tell the different between Appear Offline and you really being offline.
Any	Custom Note	You can choose any of the other status options. Your buddies see the status icon with your custom status note.

Changing your Status

You can change your status from Available to Away, Busy, On the Phone, Do Not Disturb, or Appear Offline. When you change your status from Available or specify a custom status note, your status remains as specified until you update it yourself.

File Transfers

With SolSwitch Connect, you can send and receive files from a one-on-one instant message. The receiver must accept the files for the transfer to start. If you send more than one file at a time, the receiver must accept or decline all of the files for the transfer to start.

Prerequisites

• An XMPP (chat) account must be enabled

• The XMPP file transfer feature must be enabled

Limitations

The known limitations for file sharing are:

• File sharing does not work on group chats.

• You can only send multiple files at the same time if they are located in the same folder.

• If you are using more than one SolSwitch Connect client with your XMPP account, the files are not synced between your devices.

Note: The first time you use the file sharing, you need to give SolSwitch Connect permission to access your devices external storage.

Sending Files

Send single files or files located in the same folder in an IM conversation.

To send a single photo, video or file.

1. Create an IM or open a chat with the contact you want to share with.
2. Tap “Attach”
3. Tap either “File” or “Image”, depending on the type of file you want to send. The file manager opens.
4. Locate the folder that contains the files that you want to send. You can only send multiple files at one time if they are located in the same folder.
5. Long-press on the first file that you want to send.
6. Tap any additional files that you want to send.
7. Tap “Select”.

A file transfer notification is sent to the recipient. Until the recipient responds to the notifications, the sender sees “Waiting...”.

Once the recipient accepts the file, SolSwitch Connect shows the progress of the transfer and when the transfer is complete.

If the recipient declines the files, the transfer shows as Transfer Declined.

Receiving Files

If you have an XMPP (chat) account enabled, another person with an XMPP account can send you files. The file transfer notification shows in the Messaging tab with SolSwitch Connect in the foreground and in a notification if SolSwitch Connect is in the background.

To receive a file transfer with SolSwitch Connect in the foreground

1. Open the IM conversation in the Messaging tab.
2. Tap “Accept” or “Decline” on the files. The file transfer does not begin until you have clicked Accept.

If you accept the file, SolSwitch Connect begins the transfer. If you decline the transfer, both the recipient and the sender see the file transfer status as Declined.

To receive file transfers with SolSwitch Connect in the background (from the notification center)

1. Open the notification center.
2. Tap “Accept” or “Decline” in the notification. If you tap “Accept”, the file transfer starts.

To receive file transfers with SolSwitch Connect in the background (from SSC)

1. Open the notification center.
2. Tap on the notification. SolSwitch Connect opens int he “Messaging” tab.
3. Tap “Accept” or “Decline” on the files. If there are multiple files, the transfer does not begin until you “Accept” or “Decline” all the files.

Once you respond to all of the pending file transfers, SolSwitch Connect begins transferring the files that you accepted. SolSwitch Connect displays the transfer progress and when the transfer is complete in the IM.

Cancelling a File Transfer

You can cancel a file transfer as either the sender or the receiver. As the sender, you can cancel the transfer before the receiver accepts the transfer (your screen shows Waiting) or while the transfer has been accepted but before it completes.

Note: Once the file transfer has been accepted by the recipient, the progress screen may be too quick to actually see the progress.

To cancel an outgoing transfer using Cancel

1. While the IM displays the progress bar, tap “Cancel”.

The file transfer is cancelled. The sender sees “Transfer Failed” and the recipient sees “Transfer Declined” as the transfer status.

To cancel an outgoing transfer using long-press

1. Long-press on the file while it is in the waiting stages or while it is in progress.
2. Tap “Delete”.

The file transfer is cancelled. The file transfer is deleted from the sender’s IM.

To cancel an incoming transfer

1. Tap “Cancel” on a file transfer that is in progress.

The file transfer is cancelled. The recipient and the sender see “Transfer Failed” as the transfer status.

Note: If you put SolSwitch Connect in the background during a file transfer, the transfer is paused until you bring SolSwitch Connect back to the foreground.
