- @spencerdl: there is one answer that you can try out. Check the AppStore for "Advanced OS & LED". That developer is much more honest and he answers your questions when asked. His app is also light weight, had a lot of extra features, and is also FREE as he is a real programmer who enjoys creating apps. He is not a marketing company like Bellshare who are just out to make money and steal our private data. Bellshare are being stunningly dishonest here - and it sounds like they may also be lying to their developers.
I had been happy with BeBuzz v4 until this abuse of privacy. As I cannot tell what else it is doing with my private information or my address book full of private client contact details I have had to remove it until I can get a straight, honest answer from the company.Last edited by Batter Pudding; 05-07-12 at 02:19 PM.

We are not a large company like you may think. Bellshare is a small indie app developer. I am both CEO and lead programmer. I take the allegations you make very seriously.
I can assure you that we do not collect any private information from your phone for any other purposes than running BeBuzz. This applies especially to the phone's address book. The data in your address book is never collected or transmitted to our servers.
The only place where we transmit your personal e-mail address is the place where we ask for opting in to our newsletter.
Please send me a PM with the three e-mail addresses. I will send you all information that we have stored connected to these addresses. I will also try to find out how these e-mail made it into our database. We store them with timestamps, maybe this can help finding out what exactly happened.05-07-12 02:41 PMLike 0 - pflugerDeveloper - BellshareOK you answered post #170, what about post #169. I since have removed BeBuzz 5 from my 9930, are there any plans to correct the problem that currently plague this device as stated by quite a few others. I really like BeBuzz 5 and would like to be able to use it on my 9930.evil.bunny likes this.05-07-12 02:43 PMLike 1

I really do not like being lied to. Do you store our data on your servers for other reasons? Do you copy the BeBuzz settings to your servers for testing reasons? Could it be that one of your over keen marketing staff has gone through that database and lifted my email addresses from there?
I will be sending a PM. but I am also going to keep this information public as you are breaking the expected privacy clients of yours would expect. Your other clients have a right to know that you are abusing their privacy.
If this has been an error on your part, honesty would help.05-07-12 02:49 PMLike 0 - pflugerDeveloper - BellshareIf you are both CEO and lead programmer, why have you not responded to my ticket? And just closed it?

To find out what exactly happened I will need the e-mail addresses. Should this be an error on our part we are definitely going to admit it, and more importantly, fix it!05-07-12 03:11 PMLike 0 -
I have also PM'd you. But at this point I cannot tell if I can trust you with my data. So I have left partial email addresses. This will not have happened to just me, so you can surely track this down without more of my personal data.
My theory is that BeBuzz uploads my settings to your Bellshare servers. As part of my BeBuzz settings my email accounts would be listed. So one of your over keen marketing guys who does not know the law and does not respect privacy has trawled this database and pulled out ALL the email addresses instead of just the registered email accounts.05-07-12 03:20 PMLike 0 - OK you answered post #170, what about post #169.

It is so difficult to know who to trust in this marketplace. Maybe BeBuzz have just made a human error here, but the way they have avoid my ticket and emails is noticeable. It is only by posting in this public thread have I finally got a response.05-07-12 03:25 PMLike 0 -
- I was hoping you could answer the question about how to stop getting 2 notifications after setting up a personalized alert for a BBM contact.
I get the sanguin alert & a millisecond later I hear the contentment alert go off as well. Is there a way to disable the sanguin alert & just use the Bebuzz alerts?05-09-12 01:03 PMLike 0 - pflugerDeveloper - BellshareI was hoping you could answer the question about how to stop getting 2 notifications after setting up a personalized alert for a BBM contact.

I checked your website under BeBuzz and the latest is v5.0.28 and my Mobihand account still shows v5.0.24.05-10-12 07:42 PMLike 0

spencerdl, what is the latest version? I thought the .28 was the one that was problematic, because I remember the last time I installed, I didn't download from mobihand the version .24 since there was a newer update on the website. I'm looking at this page, Bellshare - BerryBuzz for the updates. Thanks.05-11-12 09:17 PMLike 0 - spencerdl, what is the latest version?

- Thanks, that's the version I installed which gave me problems too.
edit: tried something, I uninstalled my version, went to App World, tried getting the BeBuzz free version just to see what version is updated. It installed and I guess it picked up my license code? Since I now have the full BeBuzz version and it shows as v5.0.35 in the 'About' section within the app and it shows my license as valid. I've scrolled My App World list and it shows BeBuzz Free v5.0.35. If this is the latest update that pfluger is talking about, I'm going to see if it solved the media card lock up issue.Last edited by evil.bunny; 05-11-12 at 10:06 PM.
