If not, re-open WeChat and log in again with your account and password.ģ. Check whether your WeChat account is logged in. If you find WeChat is not running all the time, check whether any installed security apps have blocked WeChat, or check whether WeChat is closed due to insufficient storage.Ģ.

If WeChat is not in the 'Running' list, you must re-open it.

Check whether WeChat is running in your phone's 「Settings」 -> 「App Management」 -> 「Running」. I can operate via VPN but that is pretty much it.Troubleshoot this problem by the methods below:ġ. I had a NextCloud server running in Germany on a fixed IP and eventually the “Great Firewall” got hold of it and shut it down. There is a top layer application that rides on WeChat while hiding the communication, but again, that is something that might get you into trouble ( check out LeakZero ). So if you want you would need to do that illegally. Every operator who offers web services in China needs to have a permission by the Ministry of Safety and Security.Īlthough not slavishly enforced, but using and owning messengers like Signal without a special permit is technically illegal too. VPN’s do exist but they are either owned by Chinese companies ( approx 30-40% ) or it is a constant arms race.Īpple was only allowed to operate their iCloud with the caveat that all the servers saving iCloud data from Chinese users, are actually IN Mainland China. They started decoupling China-Net from the Internet years ago and they are just increasing the process lately.Ī Nextcloud service that is not under direct access by the Chinese security services is absolutely not in anyones interest in the current administration. The government aspires to have 100% control of most data on the web in China. I would like to remind that this answer should not be considered as a troll (sorry if it is so), I am just informing about the deplorable situation of this application (which without Google, would have a very strong advantage over other Messaging apps).Īpart from the fact that in China there is no political desire to enable such a service EVER. And there is no information on the progress since April. People were happy when the Nextcloud team member informed that they were working on a solution and that it was taking a little time, but since then, no news at all despite reminders or other duplicates trackers (newcomers who discover the bug). You can easily understand that the Talk application is useless in its version without Google blobs. If Racheed send a message to Jin, she is not notified, she shall open by herself everytime to check if Racheed has contacted her. There is an open issue tracker in the github to use an alternative option for the F-Droid version however the issue tracker is opened since 1+ year.Ĭurrently in the FOSS version, let say Jin and Racheed both must call each other at the same time to allow a call, otherwise one of them will never know that the other is calling them.

Hello, thank you for your feedback, I would like to say that you are right with Nextcloud Talk as it is officially integrated, however, the Android app uses Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) to work, and as it is suggested in the first post, China don’t use Google. But the Chinese user will always use anything from WeChat now. I suppose that for for security, the chinese entreprises could make a good use of NC.

Hardly no one use the paper money or the plastic cards today. WeChat is becoming a world giant as it is now in China one of the 2 ways (the second being Alipay) of paying even a single fruit in the street.

So yes a client that would work within Nextcloud could be a strategic move toward the Chinese community. One important thing they pointed out is that no VPN is needed as opposite to Google Drive. But I saw several people and enterprise in China showing interest in the file management of NC. This is about 1 billion people who will not switch to the chat and communication solution of NC. But Weixin (WeChat) is so very popular in China that nearly everyone use it. I like the way NC makes chat and communication from the real work at the opposite of Slack that is not well synchronized to the working files. Thank you I know Talk and plan to use it.
