Rseven Newsletter #3 – April 2010

Hisyam Halim — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:23:46 +0000

Our long overdue newsletter.

Hi Rseven User,

It has been a while since our last newsletter, we have been busy adding new features to Rseven, as you may have noticed if you regularly use Rseven; the most complete online mobile lifecache service.

1.Google Maps Mashup

We have added a map to show the locations of where you were at when you were making calls or using SMSs. The location is not precise, since we use the mobile network cell ID to determine the location and reference it with the database at OpenCellID, an open source project. However it should give you an idea where you were at on a particular day in your past.

2. Data Management

We have added an export feature to Rseven (in Settings) that allows you to export your monthly data in a CSV file (a text file with a comma separating the values) that you can download to your computer for additional safekeeping or further analysis.

3. Security Question

A reminder for users that have not set their security question, please do it as soon as you can by logging in to rseven.com and set it in Settings > My Account . You’ll need to be able to answer the security question if you want to reset your password in case you’ve forgotten your password.

We value your feedback to make Rseven better and we’d appreciate it if you’d take the time to email your suggestions (or complaints) to support@rseven.com. Thanks for lifecaching with us.

Rseven Newsletter #2

Rseven Newsletter #2 – January 2010

Happy New Year Rseven User!

As we roll on to the second decade of the new millennium, we are adding new features to Rseven, the most complete online mobile lifecache service.

1. Rseven Pro

As mentioned in the Rseven FAQ page, we are introducing the paid version of Rseven, known as Rseven Pro. The table below shows the difference between the free version of Rseven and Rseven Pro.

	Rseven	Rseven Pro
Monthly upload limit	50MB	500MB
Timeline window	Past 3 months	Unlimited

The monthly upload limit of files (images, video, audio & call recording) will be reset on the 1st of every calendar month at 0000hrs Central Time (US & Canada) (GMT -6). The timeline window limit of 3 months means that free users can only browse, view, search and restore items up to 3 months ago. Your data are NOT deleted from our servers, but to access the data older than 3 months ago, you have to upgrade to the Rseven Pro account. The timeline window limitation for free users will only be enforced at the end of January 2010.

The Rseven Pro fee is USD2.00 per month (cheaper than a cup of coffee!), payable in an annual subscription of USD24.00 per year. At the moment, we only accept payment via Paypal. To upgrade, just click on the Upgrade to Rseven Pro button after you login to the Rseven website.

2. Auto Backup

Due to requests from users, we’ve added the auto backup feature in the latest version of the Rseven application for Nokia S60 & Windows Mobile. Just archive as you usually do, and you’ll get a notice to upgrade to the latest version of the Rseven application (v1.09).

After installation of the application, you will be prompted to set a scheduled Auto Backup day & time. By default, all data are automatically selected for backup to the Rseven server.
Alternatively, you can also choose to turn off the auto backup feature.

3. Contact Manager

Based on feedback received from Rseven users like yourself, we’ve enhanced the way you can manage your contact by introducing the Contact Manager feature. With the Contact Manager, you can do multiple selections of your contacts to perform the following:

Delete – permanent deletion of the selected contacts. This action will delete the selected contacts from the Rseven website, as well as from your mobile phones.
Set To Inactive – mark the contacts as ‘Inactive’. This will delete the contacts from your phone to make your phonebook more manageable. However, the contacts are NOT deleted from the Rseven website. If you want to activate the contacts again, just go to the Inactive Tab and set the contacts to ‘Active’.
Mark for Download – force the download of the contacts even though no changes have been made to the contacts. This is useful if you’ve accidentally deleted the contacts in your phone, or if you just want to get a fresh list of contacts in your phonebook.

As we value your feedback to make Rseven better, we’d appreciate it if you’d take the time to email your suggestions (or complaints) to support@rseven.com. Again, thanks for lifecaching with us.

Rseven Newsletter #1

Hi Rseven User,

Firstly, we at Rseven would like to thank you for using our service, the most complete online mobile backup & sync service that caches your life. In this inaugural newsletter, we’d like to share with you what we’ve been busy with in the past few months. We hope that these new features will be useful tools in your daily tasks.

1. Call and Location Recording
Rseven can record all your incoming and outgoing calls, and have it played back on our website rseven.com. To activate this feature, open the Rseven application in your phone, go to Options > Settings > Record calls, and set your preference. You have the choice to record all calls, prompt to record, or turn it off. Rseven automatically records the location where you made and received calls and SMS. The location info can be seen in the details of those calls and SMS (in Timeline view at rseven.com).

2. Match your phone contacts with your Facebook friends
Do you know that you can match your phonebook contacts with your Facebook friends? You can do this by selecting a contact from your contact list at rseven.com, and clicking Match to select which of your Facebook friends this contact is. This will automatically set their Facebook profile photo as the contact photo in your phone.

3. Share contacts and items using Groups
Using Group features, you can create, manage and invite other people to join a Group. You can share contacts, images, calendar events and other items with Group members. A shared contact and calendar will appear in the group member’s phone when they next sync to Rseven.

As we value your feedback on Rseven, we’d appreciate it if you’d take the time to email your suggestions (or complaints) to support@rseven.com. Once again, thanks for lifecaching with us.
