Now available - Lotus Notes Traveler for Android
December 14 2010
It's here!
Today, IBM is shipping Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.2.1. New in this release -- the Notes Traveler client for Android OS. The new client provides support for mail/calendar/contacts on any Android 2.x-based device. Yes, it works on tablets as well as mobile phones -- there was a draft technote prior to ship that seemed to indicate narrower support, but we've corrected that in the final release notes.
A couple of things to note about the final release:
- Your Notes Traveler server must be running 8.5.2 to support the Android devices. This has the nice bonus of supporting the Traveler mobile installer, so that the software on the device side is always up-to-date.
- Having said that, the Traveler client for Android still cannot be installed on AT&T devices. This is due to their approach to device security; apps can only be installed from the Android Marketplace. AT&T has indicated they will have a solution available in early 2011.
- If you have been running the beta, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall in order to run the final version.

Nice thanks :)
Out of subject :
Is there a release date for Notes 8.5.x with Symphony 3 included?
Tomorrow the company's managment need to make a choice between M$O2010 and Symphony. Can I be optimist for Symphony future after the buy by Oracle?
Thanks for your light.

@2: You can upgrade the Symphony in the current Notes 8.5.2 package yourself. Instructions are available somewhere in the wiki's.

So if I understand this correctly this is only the server component.
Android users have to download the client via the Android Marketplace and not as usual via our on travler website?

Lars Berntrop-Bos | 12/14/2010 3:08:05 AM
@Fred: but keep in mind you then LOSE the SmartSuite compatibility. A major oversight imho. I regret having to reverse, I rather liked Symphony 3.0.
@Ed: Please, please please, I would like to ask you to reconsider. To make Symphony more universally useful I would like to be able to at least read/view/import all the file formats Symphony 1.x supports. Can you respond and/or forward this request to the appropiate person(s)?

@3 @6 : I know the methode of Application/Install new component and select updatesite.zip BUT the bookmark bar on the right (= Open Button) is no more customizable after that :(
I'm very curious about Symphony Road Map and hope that this nice product exist in the futur.

@Harald
No the users can download the new client directly from your Traveler Server. If you update your traveler server it will autom. update the installer on the server itself. BUT the user MUST update there devices, the traveler server will not push out the software updates.

I sure hope that it's not "the last piece that completes our leadership equation in the business mobile collaboration space"
I'm holding out for a Sametime solution for Android, or should I be using the Sametime proxy?.
Still a bit sore that I can't have 2+ Traveler accounts like I can with the iPhone, Seems like a missed opportunity, I'll either continue with IMAP for secondary accounts or get an iPhone in future.
Good effort otherwise though!

Markku Hänninen http://www.netwell.fi | 12/14/2010 6:58:48 AM
Great upgrade, Android is very popular client base nowadays and should be good upgrade to any customer.
I have few pointers though:
1. Linux server still needs GUI or silent install to upgrade the server. Why not offer the command line interface for upgrades.
2. Why does the installer upgrade itself every time when Traveler gets upgrade. It is bit cumbersome for users to upgrade two programs when Traveler gets upgrade.
3. Why there isn't config file available for installer like there used to be for the client. We have made install instructions with screenshots for Traveler users because it cannot be preconfigured when new mobile phone is taken in use. It would be much easier just to throw config file to the phone and then user only fills up username/password and what he/she wants to sync.
Has anyone else had problems with these features? What kind of solutions do you have?

I saw a chat client (beta) demo from Lab folks, which integrated also the cam (chatting & posting live pictures from your phone..very nice) at ILUG recently. Don't know if and when it's going into production...

Finding things on PartnerWorld is always a painful experience for me, but today was amplified by my anxious desire to have the long awaited Androild client! I've searched by part, description, etc. I don't hate on IBM, but ever since I got on the Lotus train 11 years ago, the IBM site has been very frustrating to use.

The Edge | 12/14/2010 8:09:01 AM
One thing that constantly confounds me is why IBM makes software acquisition so complicated. Most companies would put a link to the software in their blog post. But IBM makes you search for it on their servers. "If you don't know where the link is, then you don't need to know." That seems to be the attitude.
Similarly, finding the Notes Mac client updates is practically impossible as well. If your organization doesn't support a platform directly, but users Notes and has all the proper licenses, IBM should make it easier for users to get updates and upgrades. Links should be readily available on the website and in blog posts. Similarly, there should be a "check for updates" menu item in all their software. There is not.

Chris Whisonant http://lotusnut.gbs.com | 12/14/2010 8:51:36 AM
@18 - I can't say that I disagree with most of your comment. I would like to add that I'm confused as to why this Traveler fixpack is not at FixCentral but is instead a separate download.
That being said, I was surprised that the product page for Traveler ({ Link } ) has already been updated with the information regarding the new release. Also, it does let you know how to download the software. Go to PA and type in Traveler. Worked for me the first time and the download speed got over 2800 KB/sec.
Regarding Mac client updates, same thing - I went to PA, typed notes mac 8.5.2 and there were the files for the various languages.
Regarding "check for updates", there IS that functionality in Lotus Notes. It's under "Tools > Notes Smart Upgrade" and it works well. But what you would likely point to s being a problem (i.e. it won't go download the file directly from IBM's servers), it is an Enterprise solution that works great. But in a corporate environment, you can't just have anyone grabbing the latest version because they want to. The apps you have may not support it or you may not have had adequate training opportunities, or a number of other reasons. But Lotus software isn't just an Adobe Reader or Firefox update. Furthermore, I don't believe that most corporate environments would allow end users to just upgrade their MS Office suite. That's just the way it is and I think IBM have many more things on which to focus than making it easier than typing a search string in a search box on Passport Advantage. They already have implemented an ajax-y lookup feature at PA.

Chris Whisonant http://lotusnut.gbs.com | 12/14/2010 9:05:01 AM
@21 Thanks Ed - no worries from me. I think that any admins who would be installing the software should probably already know where to go in order to download it and probably already HAVE downloaded it!
Like you have said. It. Just. Works. :)

@24 - The Sametime Proxy Server, which provides a web-based Sametime client for browsers and iPhone will also work for Android. But I agree that it would be nice to have a fully-functional Sametime client for iOS AND Android.
- 27
Drew Blitz http://www,csci-va.com | 12/14/2010 9:48:07 AM
It is now visible on PAOnline. I suppose it was taking them some time. I've been so anxious to have this, my patience was thin.
Thanks so much for the followup!
Since we're all talking Android, I read a post somewhere a while back about a possible Notes Client for Android? Is that something real or was it simply the Traveler talk I misconstrued as a full client?
Sametime app would be great!
Admin Console Shell app?
- 28
Oktay | 12/14/2010 9:59:47 AM
Great News,
too bad that the android client doesn't seem to work in our environment (that is used by our Iphone-Users). It seems to have Problems with the ssl-connect to our server. The installer can't download the Traveler and a manually installed Traveler app gets an unknown error(8) while ssl-connect.
Any known problems with apache based reverse-proxies or thawte certicates ?
- 29
Rita | 12/14/2010 10:14:07 AM
@Remy Make sure you are using the field labeled "Find by part number" and not the field labeled "Find by search text". If I enter that part number in the correct field it comes back with a download link for the Traveler 8.5.2.1 for Windows file. If I enter it in the field labeled "Find by search text" then I get the same thing you're seeing (No search results found).
See the image below for a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

@28, I had this with early beta's but it is fixed now. As a work around back then I installed the client over a non-SSL connection. YMMV

Upgrade done. Looks good.
I find it a bit unclear: Should you really uninstall both the Mail/Calendar apps and then the installer or is it enough to uninstall just the Mail/Calendar apps?
To avoid issues I removed the lot, it just seems a bit much...

Greetings from Germany.
Today was a good day as we'd been looking forward to the release of Traveler4Android for quite some time now. After some problems concerning unsigned documents (opening all of them seemed to help) and problems with certificates for SSL access (created some new for a new virtual host), we finally finished all configuration tasks and made it work!
It's working fine on Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and HTC Desire.
Thumbs up and keep up with the good work!

JR | 12/14/2010 5:51:34 PM
Got it up and running on my AT&T Galaxy....functioning great so far, love everything about it and works as it should. Hopefully it stays that way and weird little issues dont pop up.
- 39
Kevin Mort http://www.flagshipsg.com | 12/14/2010 10:12:10 PM
@38 So that conflicts with the note that it won't go onto AT&T devices...I know on my Sprint HTC EVO I can tell the device to allow installs from other locations, so I am not limited to the Market. I'll usually turn that feature off when I'm finished with it.
This was the way to install Tweetdeck while it was in beta before it was in the Market.

What ssl-certificates do you have ?
- 43
Kay Farin, TwentyOne AG Dresden, Germany http://www.twentyone.de | 12/15/2010 5:03:22 AM
Hello again,
regarding "error (8)": we had to create some new self-signed SSL certificates, the Lotus Installer and the Travler .apk file wouldn't work over HTTPS with the certs from RapidSSL used by our external iNotes server.
HTTP worked quite well, anyway. But that's no option for business usage, of course.
- 44
Michel | 12/15/2010 5:08:43 AM
Testing Traveler on Android, I have to agree with #11: The client installation is a bit cumbersome.
Log in to Traveler website, download installer, launch installer (If you can't find it in your apps, look for an app with the very generic name of 'Installer'), type in server hostname with port again + username + password, and you're finally done.
A few improvement suggestions:
1. Give the app a proper name, not just 'Installer'.
2. Register some kind of URI scheme (traveler:// ?) to the installer and add a second link in the Traveler web interface that uses this to push the server config (traveler://hostname:port). That way, the user would install the Installer and then, by clicking the second link, trigger the rest of the installation automatically, only getting prompted for his/her username and password during the process.
- 45
Oktay | 12/15/2010 5:12:54 AM
@43 this is funny. We pay for real certificates and now we need to use self-signed ones ?
Anyone can tell which ssl-certificates work and which not ?
- 46
Kay Farin, TwentyOne AG Dresden, Germany http://www.twentyone.de | 12/15/2010 5:19:53 AM
@45: Yes, it really is. The idea that the error could be about the certs was the last that came to us. But on the other side, every top level cert at the root of a chain of trust is self-signed, isn't it :)?
Now it's working like a charm!
- 47
Michel | 12/15/2010 6:15:13 AM
Another issue I noticed during my tests:
Encrypted e-mails can't be read. The Traveler web interface states that the ID is available in the ID vault, but the Android app states that 'This document is encrypted and requires the use of a Lotus Notes or iNotes client to view the content'.
- 48
Kay Farin, TwentyOne AG Dresden, Germany http://www.twentyone.de | 12/15/2010 6:24:56 AM
@47: That was the next thing to test. It's a pitty. Is it possible on iPhones or the other platforms?
- 49
Oktay | 12/15/2010 6:32:11 AM
@47,48 This is documented, if you manage to find the right doc
It is indeed possible with iphones, but a pain. There is a companion app, that does the decryption. But you need to enter the id-password each time you want to see an encrypted mail. This might be caused by the poor multitasking in ios.
- 50
Kay Farin, TwentyOne AG Dresden, Germany http://www.twentyone.de | 12/15/2010 6:51:38 AM
@49: interesting to hear that. But to be fair... did iNotes support reading encrypted mails right from the first release? Reading encrypted mail should not be the *main* use case for mobile workers except one does not have access to a PC with a browser or Notes client at all, writing all his mails via smart devices.
Supporting encrypted mails makes up a good feature proposal for coming releases of Traveler :)!

Jürgen Stübing | 12/15/2010 7:35:48 AM

but one question:
why are the events in an seperate calendar?
and not in the standard android calendar
because now you can not use any calendar widget to show the next events.
- 52
JR | 12/15/2010 8:43:20 AM
@39
Well, it doesnt conflict with the no AT&T note at the bottom, you just have to know how to sideload apps with a AT&T phone. There are a couple of ways to do this, the easiest is an application called the sideload wonder machine, the hardest involves hacking your phone up a little bit to get it to work. Obviously, use at your own risk.

Dwain A Wuerfel | 12/15/2010 5:14:33 PM
Ed,
Our Admin team has been using the beta version for the last month or so, but the NAB on the server where Traveler is installed needs to be updated to show the Mobile tab information. I have been working on a project that is requiring me to pull specific data from our Mobile servers, BES & Traveler, like UserName, PhoneModel, PhoneNumber, PhoneCarrier, and ServerName. The method I am using to pull this data is via a LEI Direct Transfer Activity.
My issues are that the Device form doesn't have a field for the UserName and it doesn't appear that Traveler is collection the device PhoneNumber or PhoneCarrier. So, am I or IBM missing something?
I realize the User form has the UserName field which seems to get added to the Device form during either the WebQueryOpen or WebQuerySave event; however, I am also not seeing the agents that these events are calling.
Any help and/or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Dwain

@58 DD:
You can grab it from the server, you *must* upgrade to 8.5.2.1. If you're running 8.5.2 and you have the .apk manually installed then it'll give you an error on the phone and won't let you continue.
If you install 8.5.2.1 on the server, just search the directories. There's "LotusTraveler.apk" which is 1.4MB, it's the main mail / calendar app etc
There's also "LotusInstaller.apk" which you really only need on the phone if you're going to uninstall Traveler (It won't uninstall without the Installer being on your device).

Will Swetnam | 12/16/2010 5:07:57 PM
Ed - great stuff, our staff here are big fans of Android Traveler - one consistant response from the group - why such a limited signature? This product has (imho) better flow and ui (esp for subscribing to folders) than competitor's products (such as Touchdown - a lot of us were using that)... To be given a signature area that is only one line in the display; and that (if you paste a longer sig into it) strips out any cr/lf characters from the field when used...
I know it seems small, but I like having the same signature that I have in my desktop and iNotes email with just a (from his phone) added.
Thanks in advance - and it really is a small (but still nagging) nit...

Jesper Sørensen http://www.fragt.dk | 12/17/2010 3:22:20 AM
Well it works, but there are a few issues.
SSL certs have to be self signed. And for some reason the hosttag on http is set to host:80, the previous version set it to host - this matters if you do any url / domain switching.
You cant retroactivly change the client from http to https, and you cant lock clients to https (this is important).
There are no widgets (very annoying).

Karen Andersen | 12/17/2010 6:09:04 AM
We can't seem to get this working.
We have used the 8.5.2.1 Beta version for Traveler for about a month, and it has worked well on our Android smartphones.
We have now uninstalled the Beta version on our home server and installed the final version - this worked okay, the server is up and running again.
We then uninstalled the Beta Lotus Installer and Lotus Traveler on an an Android smartphone.
We then logged on this address: "<server>/servlet/traveler", downloaded the installation file for Lotus Installer and ran the installation.
We then tried to download the Traveler installation file through the Lotus Installer, but this time we failed.
After logging on the server, we got this message:
"Lotus Traveler was found.
Would you like to download and install it now?"
Meanwhile a download preparation message was running in the foreground - after a while it returned: "Error connecting to server."
No ssl certs are involved as far as we know.
It has worked in the Beta version.
Any ideas?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we finally have a client for Android devices. However its missing many items available on other platforms which I assumed would be included given its taken so long to even come to market.
For instance:
1. Unable to take any action to calendar items or create invites
2. No Month view for calendar
3. No out of office notice abilites using Traveler.
4. No Single application for it. ie why is mail and calenadr two seperate applications. Why not just a Lotus traveler application with eatch function rolled into one?
5. No Task Sync
Seems to me to have to jump thru alot of hoops to install an application which is very limited. Considering an application like toucdown which although is not free seems to handle many of these things with the exception of editing calendar entries.. better. And they don't even offically support traveler.
By The Way.. Any idea on a sametime client for android? Lets hope we wont have to wait for 2012 for that.

This may help some:
when performing the installer download and set up through your android device, DO NOT use the stock browser, or even Dolphin browser. due to the above mentioned certificate issues the download of the apk file will hang.
use Opera Mini.

I could not yet analyze the data but i hope i will find a solution for this. i so, i will post it here.

We are in the process of upgrading Lotus Notes and Domino. Our provider steered us away from 8.5.2 because of kown bugs in the software and suggested going to 8.5.1. For this reason, I take it I still won't be able to do anything more than read my email online because it appears Lotus Traveler 8.5.2 is the only version that provides compatibility with the Android operating system. Is that correct?

The only thing I still dont understand is why and or how is there no "inbox" shortcut when your viewing an email. In addition why would there be no preference setting on what to do when you delete an email, for example go to your inbox or the next email.
Either way...good product and thanks for the updates.

Hello.
I have an HTC Desire HD with Android version 2.2.1.
My question / problem is:
I have Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.2.0 Beta on my HTC Desire HD and it works as it should.
I try to find an application that can display the calendar entries which are in the calendar from Lotus Notes Traveler in another calendar, such as the HTC Android calendar or calendar lying on my HTC Desire HD.
The problem there is with Lotus Notes Traveler calendar is that you must open it to see what lies to contracts, etc. You can not see them on the "desktop"on its Android or I can not make it do so.
Hope that there are some who can help me.
Regards Rasmus.

Hey again.
I have been told that what I am looking for is a ”widget” and not an app. for my Android.
I am still trying to find a “calendar/agenda” widget that can show the “posts” which is in my calendar from Lotus Notes Traveler.
I hope that somebody can help me.
Best regards.
Rasmus.

I've successfully ran Notes Traveler on Android 2.2 @ Desire HD, but I cannot uninstall it! I can uninstall Lotus Installer successfully, but not for Notes Traveler, reboot android or kill the tasks cannot solve the problem, any special procedure to uninstall it ? Thanks again

Sorry, just follow this can uninstall: { Link }

Teoman ONAY | 1/13/2011 9:46:53 AM
@86 You're absolutely right ! It hasn't been well developed. I'm really disappointed by this product ...
You have to open the calendar app to see your appointment of the day and no widget is able to display these calendar entries.
I hope it's a beta version you have released !
It was hard to install (SSL doesn't work during setup).

When will Notes Traveler through ActiveSync be supported for Android?

Patrick | 1/20/2011 9:03:54 AM
Why does Lotus Notes Traveler not merge/exchange the data with the standard calender on the Android phone? I think this works ok on the iPhone, so it should also be possible with Android or not?
Also it works for the contacts, which is nice.

Re: Traveler on AT&T devices. I got it installed on mine after hacking the phone to allow side loading. But I'm sure not prepared to support this for my users.
Waiting for AT&T to change their security is ridiculous. Why can't IBM/Lotus just make the app available on the Android Market? Surely if the creator of an Android Fart Machine can do that, the folks at IBM/Lotus could figure out how to make that happen?

Hi Guys,
Am planning to get the HTC Desire.
I am currently using the iphone 3G and have 2 lotus notes email accounts working. Both are on different servers.
Is it possible to do the same on the androids as well.
Can I get 2 Lotus notes email accounts to work with traveler.
Tried it on the Nokia Symbian phones but that supports only 1 lotus notes account.
Please advise.
Cheers!!

Just installed today. noticed no widgets as well. There's a missed opportunity....No actually, it a big flaw. How can the developers of an app such as this, for a device such as this, for a company such as IBM miss the necessity for a Calendar widget?
Stunned....

Wow! As a marketing/product manager, I can't imagine using my own website for direct feedback from my customers - because people usually don't use the internet to praise, you know!
Anyways - suppose one was running a rooted Nook Color, essentially running B&N's implementation of Android 2.1. And suppose the user had loaded Notes Traveler (as supported by their corporate IT, with all the right switches thrown on the domino server - hey, I'm not a programmer, but assume the account was setup to handle Traveler), but had issues with it fully implementing the required security?
If you have someone who is interested in this challenge, I'd love to get this working. Potential upgrades to 2.2 or later might fix, but trying to decide if I should spend 3x as much on an iPad2 instead.... I'm also worried if I'll even be happy with the android applications - which I've installed but can't access without the security setup correctly.
Details here:

I rooted an AT&T Captivate and have it running 2.2 Android and Traveler. With AT&T you have to root it in order to modify a database entry that is in a protected file. Once able to edit it you can say "yes" to allow "side-loading" of apps.
You can google if you really want to do it but I guess you void your warranty. Risk of 'bricking' a phone is actually pretty non-existent once you figure out how to root. You just need to get your phone to allow installation of that .apk file! ;p

Ron S. http://www.burnpc.com | 3/7/2011 11:29:24 AM
And you can 'de-root' a phone in case you had to send it in under warranty, insurance etc. :)

Anyone else having problems with Traveller losing login details when phone is restarted. Then not being able to resync. I am trying to roll out a coupla hundred phones and this bug started. We have to clean out all email and resync, start from scratch. It may be because the program is automatically put in start up and misses the 3g connection.
The users have to then spend 10 minutes re-enter all the login details and resync the phone. for some reason the system also defaults to secure protocol when we were using HTTP port. So user have to know to reset this as well.
Damn frustrating. V8.5.2.2.

Has anyone had issues with battery life after installing?
I have gone as far as turning off auto-sync and I can't get more than 3/4 day from an extended battery after installing.
The functionality is great, but if it makes my phone leak Lithium then it's not functional.

Bill Brown | 3/30/2011 2:51:39 PM
@110 You might need to upgrade to the dilithium crystal battery.

KFrayne | 4/7/2011 7:41:46 PM
I did get Traveller to work on my Nook Color by installing it on 2.2 Froyo. Someone in another forum noted that coworkers had issues with 2.1 on their phones.
Anyways, it's not really usable - most of which I'm blaming on running the OS off an SD card (but a fast one). The calendar week view also doesn't' take advantage of the larger size of my tablet, but I guess that's to be expected for a phone ap.

Hi, one question that I hope has not yet been answered yet. At our company we're are running IBM Lotus Traveler 8.5.2.2
We would like to get the Traveler client to work with Swedish language with Android Smart phones. At the traveler server there is is only one client LotusTraveler.apk Lotus\ Traveler.Android.version=8.5.2.2 201103081654 available. We have tried to change locale settings in the Smart Phone, but the client remains english.
Is the Android Traveler client multilingual, if so how do we setup the Smart Phone to be Swedish or are there separate clients for different languages, if so, how to we get them?
Many thanks in advance..
- 115
Jonny | 6/7/2011 6:13:52 AM
Hi,
We have exact the same question as Mikael regarding the Swedish language in the Android Client. We have the same version as Mikael and have tried just about everything to get a Swedish client on the Android. We are using a ZTE Blade with Android 2.2 with all Language and Regional settings set to Swedish. We have used the Multiling. version of Traveler and installed the Swedish version. We can see that we have the Swedish version cause the Traveler Homepage (client config. page) is in Swedish. We've tried to change Default.xml on the server and set the perferLang key to "se" with no luck. Would be really thankful if you could straighten out our question marks.
Is there a Swedish client and if so, how can we get it running?
Regards, and thank you in advance
