Alok (a mobile developer at Loopt) made a special build for his N95. Email me at (my first name dot my last name)@loopt.com and I'll hook you up.

I'm sorry your phone was lost/stolen :(

Unfortunately, it's only possible to use Loopt to locate a Boost phone if:

1. Loopt has already been installed (requires you to have the phone in hand)


2. Loopt is actually running on the phone (you have to start it each time you restart your phone)

If you call Boost and report it, I think they can move your number and remaining balance to another phone.

A comment on the idea "Windows Mobile support for Loopt" in Loopt:

To be honest, for various reasons, we're stretched pretty thin when it comes to mobile development resources. We don't have the resources right now to write and maintain a native windows mobile client, but JVMs have just recently made it to the point where our J2ME client might work on Windows Mobile in a JVM. Our latest J2ME build works really well on the Tilt, and may eventually be released. – Nick Sivo, on September 18, 2008 19:23

The cause of your problem is a corrupt root certificate store on your Blackberry.

You can find instructions on how to remove Loopt, and (if you wish to) how to fix the underlying problem HERE.

Please let me know if you need more help. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

A comment on the idea "Windows Mobile support for Loopt" in Loopt:

While our API is secure and could theoretically be exposed to the world, it's not particularly pretty. We're also in the midst of making some big changes that will make a client written using today's API obsolete within the next 6 months. Perhaps some time in the future? – Nick Sivo, on September 12, 2008 07:11

Back when we first ruled out WinMo the Sprint Mogul had just come out and didn't yet make GPS available to applications. J2ME support was also pretty bad so it looked like we'd need to do an all out port (too much work).

Now it looks like we can get a J2ME version working and actually get GPS from some devices.

I'm not making any promises, but we've had limited success running our latest (currently under development) client on the HTC Tilt and Samsung BlackJack II. We're going to assess how much extra work it would be to really support them, and revisit our WinMo decision. Even if we decide to support WinMo, it's unlikely we'll release anything this year :(

Sorry about that. We're still looking into why it happened, but it should be fixed for now.

Hi Marty,

If you can give me a little more information I might be able to help. Where are you seeing tis message, what carrier are you on, and what phone do you have?

Nick Sivo replied on August 13, 2008 04:21 to the problem "My journal entries have stopped showing pictures." in Loopt:

Hi Bill,

Can you please contact support@loopt.com with your phone number so we can look into the issue? We aren't seeing this generally and would need to look at your account specifically. In your email, please tell them to ask Nick.

Thanks.

Nick Sivo replied on August 09, 2008 04:22 to the question "What service does Loopt use to send SMS messages?" in Loopt:

Loopt uses various methods to send SMS messages. Sadly, on AT&T Loopt's messages will count against your 200/month.

Nick Sivo replied on August 09, 2008 04:18 to the question ""Pings" Not Being Sent/ Received on 3G iPhone" in Loopt:

As of last night, the Ping/Pong SMS issue should have been resolved. We were having trouble sending SMS messages to users who had ported their numbers from other carriers to AT&T when they bought iPhones.

Nick Sivo replied on August 09, 2008 04:12 to the question "will loopt use apple's push notification features?" in Loopt:

We agree! We plan to make full use of push notifications as soon after they're available.

A comment on the problem "iPhone 3G SMS notification problem." in Loopt:

We changed the way we send SMS messages last night, so things should work for you now. Users who ported their numbers from other carriers weren't getting SMSs. – Nick Sivo, on August 09, 2008 04:09
