QIP does not work and does not connect: why what happened? ICQ problems are not connected via QIP.

Good afternoon, dear blog readers! As already mentioned in the previous article, ICQ at the end of last 2018 was waiting for the next fiasco - ban on using the OSCAR old protocol. In the new WIM protocol, the client-server communication format has become different - now the data exchange occurs by sending a POST request and receive an answer in JSON format. Thus, ICQ in 2019 entered completely updated and ... without a husk from old QIP 2005 customers, bayanicq ... In short, all customers who are no longer supported, went into oblivion.

In the performance of the official client ICQ, we will not doubt. Let's try to connect to ICQ using various informal customers. Immediately make a reservation that under this article uses Windows clients.

QIP 2005.

We load our favorite old QIP 2005:

Long wait for the result and, alas:

Connection error

Unfortunately, by many QIP 2005, they could not adapt to innovations, because It has become no one to develop it. Even behind the SSL certificate, the QIP.RU did not rule out - he was overdue at the time of writing this article.

Pidgin.

We use another multiprotocol client - Pidgin. We try to add an ICQ account:

Adding ICQ to Pidgin

We are answered by the answer "Received undexpected response from https://api.icq.net/aim/startoScarSession":

Reply Pidgin About Connection Error

As we can see, using Pidgin ICQ does not connect if the protocol is built into the program. However, the Internet is full of stories about how to add ICQ to the "pigeon" in the new reincarnation.

To do this, close the Pidgin program, go to the official LibicyQue library. For Windows Pidgin, download the libicyque.dll library from there, put it in the C: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ Pidgin \\ plugins folder, then download the libjson-glib-1.0.dll library and put it in the C: \\ Program Files folder (x86) \\ Pidgin. After that, run the messenger and add an ICQ type account (WIM):

Pidgin With Library Libicyque

We see that the connection to ICQ successfully took place!

Miranda-NG.

The reincarnation of classical Miranda has connected without problems to ICQ, it did not need to change anything.

Adding an account to Miranda

ICQ was added to Miranda

Transport ICQ for Jabber

To use the Jabber client, you could exchange messages with users of other systems (ICQ, Skype, etc.), special gateways were created, called transport.

Since ICQ changed the protocol, old ashtar transports were died, which did not allow the opportunity to continue to use with the help of terribly jabber clients. But not everything is so bad, you can take advantage of the LibicyQue library already mentioned in this article.

If you are raised by the Ejabberd server along with SPECTRUM2 to support transport, then you need to sequentially call the following commands:

git Clone Git: //github.com/eionrobb/icyque.git
cD Icyque
make
sudo make install

After that, the libicyqueque.so library with the realization of the WIM ashtage protocol should appear in the / USR / LIB / PURPLE-2 folder.

Next, you need to update Spectrum'a Spectrum2 packages, Spectrum2-backend-libpurple, optionally also Spectrum2-backend-libcommuni, Spectrum2-backend-twitter. After that, library support will appear with the implementation of the new ICQ WIM protocol.

Then it is necessary to replace the name of the protocol in the ICQ configuration file. It should be like this:

protocol \u003d Prpl-Eionrobb-Icyque

After that you need to restart Spectrum:

sudo Spectrum2_Manager Restart.

ICQ should re-earn on the Jabber client.

Instead of imprisonment

As soon as the network appears the question of whether anyone uses ICQ, the reports of "ICQ have long died", "ICQ R.i.p.", "Who is still needed?". However, even the prohibition of the Old Oscar protocol did not become the last milestone in the life of ICQ. In fairly short time, libraries were developed with the implementation of the new WIM protocol, which made it possible to connect to ICQ well-known messengers. Also, this topic was actively worked in early 2019 in professional forums. It became, someone else needs, this ICQ

This messenger, along with ICQ, was with us for many years, but due to changes in legislation relating to user identification, in 2018, a series of temporary shutdowns and failures occurred on his portal. Now QIP does not work at all, and in ICQ from December 20, 2018 only the official client is supported, latest version. Read more about why everything happened and what to do users of the program now - in this article.

The reasons for which QIP stopped working

So why did the QIP work in 2019? Previous owners QIP decided to sell the project instead of bringing it in line with the new legislation. It was assumed that the new buyer would hold the required reorganization, update the server equipment and after some time the messenger will again become a worker. Actually, in the fall of 2018 on the portal QIP for some time even hung such an ad:

The project was sold to Prestige Media LLC. We update server equipment. From October 1, 2018, the project will continue full work and development. Everything will be fine 🙂 All the world! 🙂

In fact, QIP (and from ICQ including) does not work in 2019. The official portal as it is functioning - main page. Loading, internal references are active; The "Download QIP" button is active - you can choose a version for download and install it. However, authorized in your QIP profile or register a new one will not work - the system issues an error. Therefore, while we wait and unscrew the available ways.

What can be done

Options are the following:

How to change connection settings in qip2012

You will need the latest version of the messenger. Download it on the link called or yourself Go to the QIP portal, click on the green button "Download" and select the 2012 version.

1. Download and install the program.
2. Run. In the original form, the QIP does not connect to ICQ. To fix it, and you need changes in the settings.
3. After startup, automatic authorization will occur, but your status will be "not online." Click on "Settings".
4. Go to the section "Accounts" And select "ICQ".
5. Click on "Set up".
6. Check the box in front of the string "Use new scheme authorization ".
7. In the "Connection" menu, replacing the server address to "login.icq.com", and the port on "443".
8. Press "OK". Now everything should work.

Important! This method works, provided that the QIP was previously installed on this device, you passed authorization in the program, and autologies were turned on in the settings ( automatic input, without requesting a login and password every time). In this case is created configuration file.stored on the device even after removing QIP. It is he who provides access to the program interface after its re-installation.

Clarification for our readers: Needed exactly the 2012 version, because QIP 2005 is not connected by the method described above, even if you used to use this program on the same device.

No matter how legendary was not one of the most popular messengers in Russia, this does not cancel the fact that it is a program, and therefore it is characterized by failures. Of course, the problems need to be solved, and it is advisable immediately and immediately.

Here you will need to enter the login used to login (it can be a phone number, the UIN code or address email), as well as check the checkpoint.

If a similar error appears in several people at once, it is worth it that at the moment work is performed on the service.

In such a situation, it remains only to wait when the service will earn again, and everything will return to its places.

Connection error

It is also not necessary to situations when the login and password of the system are accepted, the process of connection begins ... and that's all on it. The program persistently displays a connection failure, when you press the authorization button, nothing happens.

Cause 1: Internet problems

With any problem, you must first seek the solution to the problem on your device. In this situation it is worth checking the network performance.

Another option may be prohibited by the ICQ access firewall to the Internet.

After that, the connection is usually restored if the problem was walking in the user's computer itself.

Reason 2: System Uploadability

The reason for the program cannot be connected to servers, there may be a banal computer overload. High load may not leave any resources to make a connection and in the end it is simply reset.

So here is the only solution - to clear the computer's memory and reboot.

Cause 3: Technical Work

Again, the cause of the system failure can be banal engineering works. They are particularly often held lately, since the service is rapidly developing and updates arrive almost every week.

The decision remains the same - it remains to wait when the developers will turn on again. It is worth noting that this happens extremely rarely, usually access to servers is already blocked at the authorization level, so the program simply stops receiving data to enter the account. But the impossibility of connecting after the input also happens.

Crashes upon authorization

It may also happen that the program successfully receives data for the input, connects to the network ... and then completely turns off. This is an abnormal behavior and will need a correction or "repair" of the program.

Cause 1: program failure

Most often, this is explained by the breakdown of the program of the program itself. This can occur after the incorrect completion of the computer, due to fragmentation, the influence of third-party processes (including viruses) and so on.

To begin with, try to restart the process itself. After the initial independent closure, the process could remain in operation. Should be checked in "Task Manager", it is performed or not.

If the process remains - you should close it via the right mouse button, then try to start the program again. It will not be superfluous to restart the computer.

If it does not help, you should reinstall the ICQ client, previously deleting the previous version.

Reason 2: virus activities

As mentioned earlier, the cause of the breakage may be a banal activity of various malicious software. There are specialized viral programs that violate the performance of messengers, including ICQ.

To begin with, it is necessary to fully clean the computer from the viral medium. Further actions do not make sense without it, because with any number of reinstallations of the program, the virus will still be breaking it again and again.

All interlocutors are not online

A fairly common problem is when after authorization and login in ICQ, the program demonstrates that absolutely all friends from the contact sheet are offline. Of course, this situation may happen in reality, but in certain cases it may be a mistake. For example, if there are interlocutors in CL, which are 24 hours a day are online, and now there are no them, or if offline even shows the user profile itself added to friends.

Cause 1: Connection failure

There may be a violated connection protocol to the ICQ servers, when the program seems to be a connection, but the data from the server does not accept.

In such a situation, you should try to restart the program. If this does not help and the reasons below are also not confirmed, it is necessary to completely reinstall the messenger. It usually helps.

In very rare cases, there may be malfunctions on the ICQ server. As a rule, such problems are quite quickly solved by employees of the organization.

Cause 2: Internet problems

Sometimes the reason for such a strange behavior of the computer can be incorrect operation of the Internet. In such a situation, you should try to reconnect the connection. It will not be superfluous to restart the computer.

If it does not help, it is worth trying to test the Internet performance through a browser or other programs that use the connection. In case of detection of problems, contact the provider and report your problem.

Mobile app

With official mobile application ICQ may also cause their problems. As a rule, most of them are approximately similar to problems in the computer analogue - incorrect login and password entry, connection error, and so on. It is solved this is suitable. Of the individual problems, the following can be noted:

1. In case the user when you first turn on, you do not allow the application to access different services and components of the device, the functionality of the application may be violated. There may be no connection to the network, the ability to use third-party files and so on.
   • To solve the problem, it is worth going to "Settings" phone
   • The example is given for the phone ASUS Zenfone.. Need to go B. "Applications".
   • Here you should press the gear icon - the settings sign.
   • Now you need to choose "Application Permissions".
   • The list opens various systemsAnd also which applications have access to them. You should check everything and enable ICQ where this program is listed.

   After that, everything should work, as should.

2. The problem of incompatibility may be extremely rare operating system and phone model with ICQ application. The program can either work at all on such a device, or work with violations.

   It is best to install an application from Play Market.Since this service automatically defines and reports the incompatibility of the program model.

   In case such a problem manifested itself, only one thing remains to look for analogs that can work on this device.

   Most often, this situation is characteristic of tablets and phones of little-known Chinese companies. The use of official devices from well-known international brands reduces such a chance to a minimum.

Conclusion

There are also other problems that may arise with the efficiency of the ICQ application, but in most cases it is individual problems and are extremely rare. The main mass of common problems is presented above and fully solved.

Currently, growth rate information technologies Truly striking. A few years ago, people could not imagine that they could communicate through a computer or other any device, being in different ends of the world!

Today we will talk about one of the most common Internet instant messaging services - ICQ. The feature of the system is that messages between users are delivered instantly, so you can conduct a full-fledged dialogue with the interlocutor in contrast to email. Tens of millions of people enjoy this service daily.

The user sends messages to the interlocutor through a specialized messenger on the device connected to the Internet, then the messenger connects to the server and communicates with other clients through it.

How to join ICQ society?

The process of installing and setting up the messenger is quite simple. Now we will consider the main steps to implement this simple task.

To begin with, you should choose which messenger you like more. Now such programs are a great set:

• there are ICQ messengers for Windows;
• Miranda;
• for Linux-Ove Systems - Jabber, and many others.

Let's stop by qIP program in her new version QIP 2012.like on the messenger with the most attractive, in my opinion, interface..qip.ru/2012 / qip2012_nosms_7102.exe

After download installation File We see such a window:

Then click "Run" and select the Russian language to install. After that, we are invited to choose the installation type:

Select a standard typical installation. Next, we opens the form of entry:

In this version of QIP, we can log in through the social networks "Vkontakte", "Facebook" and "Twitter". Let's try logging through the Vkontakte service, enter e-mail and from "contact", in case the data is specified correctly, click the "Continue" button.

The default QIP 2012 appears in the right corner of the screen. Since we used login through the VKontakte social network, only our Vkontaktov friends are displayed in the contact window. A similar type of QIP 2012 will acquire and when authorized through Facebook or Twitter.

To add your contacts from the ICQ service, you need to go to the main menu by clicking the button with the phone at the bottom of the messenger, go to the "Add account"And choose ICQ:

In the form, enter our UIN and password.

After that, we can see all of our ICQs. This process of installing the ICQ is safely completed and we turn to another important aspect - this is the setting of the messenger for our needs and convenience.

The QIP messenger setting is needed

As we see, in the QIP top menu there are standard options: "Show / hide offline contacts" (press this button, if we do not want to see the interlocutors missing in the network), "Enable / disable the display mode" (here, at will, and by availability These most groups, you can not touch the button), "Enable / disable sounds", "private lists" (lists of invisibility seen in the mode of invisible ever ignored), "History" for all users and dialogs, general "settings" and New option - "Selective Sending", which allows you to choose specific users And send them the same text. By the way, a very convenient option for sending invitations and any news to friends.

Section of the qip messenger "Settings"

QIP messenger settings window

So, we begin to configure QIP to yourself from the highest partition - "General". By default, several ticks are installed here, leave the ticks as desired, I recommend to leave the following options: "Run QIP when starting the system" - In order not to look for the Messenger icon, "check the present of the new version of QIP", "authorized on the service in the browser", and "Store the settings of my accounts on the server."

The "Save Password" option can be noted if you use the computer exclusively and no one has access to the correspondence. Otherwise, by selecting the password saving, any person who goes under your user will enter the system under your data and can read your post history or write messages to your friends on your behalf.

Section qip "Contact List"

Here we are most interested in the window settings: I recommend choosing the location "over all windows", "normal window title" and closing the window on the Close button.
In the same section, we can choose the appropriate font and select various options - now you can not be noted, but leave the default selected.

Below "Contact List" is the "Events" section.

Section "Events"

Select the position on the screen - by default it is the right lower corner, which is quite comfortable, and the style of the pop-up. Alerts about status I advise not to install, otherwise you risk being tamed messages about who and when changed the status, entered the network, etc. Unless you can note the display of information that one of your contacts is gaining you a message. I also strongly recommend turning off pop-up messages - the first time it seems comfortable, and then it starts to bother and again makes it possible to watch your guests that they write.

In this version, QIP has a lot of settings for messages. Let's start with the name of the name in the Message window - here you can write your nickname or name. Next, choose the "style of communication". In my opinion, the optimal option is standard side tabs. In this embodiment, the message window looks like this:

On the right in the window displays the logins of those with whom we led the correspondence, as well as the message history. By the way, in the Message window, you can configure another important option: sending messages by pressing the "ENTER" button. To do this, click the most extremely button above the text input field and click the fourth left icon.

Consider what other settings offer us a message window. So, proceed to a detailed study. The first icon is emoticons, then the quotes option goes - it is also quoting the last message of the interlocutor for the most convenient style of dialogue, templates of ready-made answers (they can be added independently in the "Settings" section -\u003e "Messages" -\u003e "Ready Answers"), History messages sending files, then we see general settingsthat we have already seen earlier, sending messages by the "ENTER" key, turn on / off sending text set (if the option is enabled, the interlocutor will see that you print it a message), clean the dialog box, compact window mode (after clicking The upper part of the window and part of the bottom) disappears, and the dialog switch option in a separate window.

If we click on the second right button "T" with a tassel, we will see the appeared type tags [b] - these are so-called BB codes, a message markup language, very similar to HTML..wikipedia.org / Wiki / BBcode.

Next to the tags you can see the download option and other tags.

Also at the bottom of the message window there is the "Submit" button, which allows you to distribute the same message various types Contacts, the dialogue with which is reflected in the Right tab - on online contacts, in all contacts and selective dispatch.

The attention of multiple users should also attract the ability to spell spelling in the messages window; As in Microsoft Word., incorrectly written words are emphasized by wavy lines after writing. You can also add such a check in the "Messages" section in the "Spell Check Settings" by clicking the "Enable" button.

I am absolutely sure that this option will not leave indifferent anyone from QIP 2012 users.

Now back to the main menu and move on to the "History" section.

Section "History"

Here you can configure storage paths (for example, you can choose some kind of folder, avoiding the default - usually it looks like this: C: \\ Users \\ User \\ AppData \\ ROAMING \\ QIP \\ PROFILES \\ PROFILENAME \\ HISTORY \\) Here you can specify another path to store files - I highly recommend choosing a folder whose location is most convenient for viewing files sent from friends. In this section, you can choose the need to save history and service messages itself, as well as the number of shown messages from the correspondence when opening a new dialogue with the interlocutor.

All status settings are located in the "Settings" section of the same name, you can enable the answering machine and set the timer to change the status. I also draw your attention to the status image in the window of the messenger itself:

You can choose any icon you like and write a short message that characterizes your condition or thoughts at the moment. Your interlocutors will see a picture in the list of their contacts, and the message will be read when opening a dialogue with you. In the same corner of the messenger, you can choose standard general statuses: "Online", "ready to chat", "evil", "invisible", "not online" and others.

Section "Sounds"

Here it is possible to turn off the sound (as you remember, it is displayed on the top menu of the messenger), as well as the tincture of sound alerts - you can choose the sound you like in format.wav and install for a specific script. To do this, select a script, for example, "Run QIP" and click the "Change" button, then select your file, click "Apply" and the next time you start the QIP enjoy the selected sound. You can listen to this sound and in the settings window click on the green triangle under the events.

Now let's go to the interface settings.

Section "Interface"

The most interesting in this section is the "Color" menu and the "interface language" menu. When you click the "Color" menu, we are invited to select the color schemes for the messages window, the list of contacts, chat windows, general color settings and color background. You can choose different from the pre-installed color by clicking on the color window and selecting the color younger in the palette.

Next, we can choose hotkeys in the section below, then install various modules or choose already available (in QIP 2012 Postcards 1.1, Ogorod Social Network, QIP Radio, Win-7). The following section "Connections" will leave without our attention - everything is already configured and perfectly works.

If you have a webcam, you can configure it in the "Video and Sound" section, as well as a microphone and speakers for voice and video communications with friends on QIP.

The lowest section of the main menu is "accounts". In this section, you can add a new account and remove unnecessary. According to our settings, you should now have two accounts - social network and ICQ.

On this we will end with the settings in the main menu and proceed to a more detailed study of the messenger window.

QIP Messenger Panel

We have already considered the status pictures earlier, now open the main menu. Let's try to dock the list of contacts to the right or left edge. After that, the list will move to the right (left) edge and stretch into the entire height of the screen. In fact, as my experience shows, the location of the messenger on the right side is most convenient.

We can also change personal accounts of accounts. To do this, select the account in the "Show / Change My Data" item. Now we can change the common, personal and working information about yourself.

In the new QIP, the possibility of calls is implemented as we have already mentioned. You can make a call if you have funds on the QIP account in the bottom of the menu by clicking on the bell button. It is adjacent to the search button and add new contacts.

In the same place, we can try to find a new interlocutor on the user ID, email address, as well as trying happiness in random dating on the global search.
