I dnt understand how come the sidekick has an AIM program that works flawlessly yet i cant find one that works good for the MDA i already have tried +IM, agile and a few others.. but they always malfuntion or lack something.. like something i would like to see is customerizable away messages.. u know wat i mean??
Look for a PPC version of AIM on AOL's UK site.
yea i already saw that one.. and used it too.. but i mean i know beggers cant be choosers but isnt there a way to make a better one.. one thats actually up to date??

Its free for now though, as its still in Beta.
OctroTalk is currently in BETA, and is available for download.
The pricing of the product has not yet been decided, and will be decided during the product BETA period. The product has an over the air (OTA) upgrade mechanism, and will notify you when a new version becomes available.
just downloaded it.. i'll try it out and let u know wat i think..
Edit: I cant post the link but a quick Google search of Motorola Offering Droid X Owners Free TouchDown Exchange Licenses will give you the webpage.
Sorry if this has been posted but anyone have any experiences?
My e-mail/ calendar/ exchange has been abysmal on the DroidX.
thanks
When Verizon themselves give an Android phone to one of their employees, Touchdown is what they use to connect to VZW corporate Exchange email. Probably the best endorsement there is.
got a link?
do a basic google search. "droid x exchange issues'. u cant lose

Has anyone else seen this or tried to get the free software?

The reply email said "You should expect a response from us within 24 hours", but it has been 2 days and I still haven't heard anything. I will let you know how it pans out.
They updated that to 48 hrs due to heavy call volume.
I downloaded Touchdown (its a free 30 day trial) and im loving it so far. Everything a spartphone/ exchange e-mail system should be.
I would have liked LED notification but ok...

Yes, my license should be arriving today. I was one of the first unfortunate X users to report the problem to Motorola. There are two problems with exchange on the X (both are the result of Moto messing with AOSP software as part of their Blur implementation)...
(1) If your exchange server does not require SSL, you will not be able to connect (true for Exchange 2003, possibly others)
(2) You may receive Exchange items, but notifications may not trigger properly
Bottom line is that Moto screwed it up with Blur, and they are offering Touchdown licenses as a stop-gap measure until Froyo is released.
FYI, you can also resolve the issue by rooting your device and pushing the AOSP Email.apk and CorpCal.apk to /system/app
I will sometimes get my notifications but then sometimes I won't. The other problem.I am seeing is that the push email is not always working for incoming emails. I will have to open the app sometimes before it will refresh he emails. Yet Gmail seems to get my phone right when it hits their server. Never had this with my touch pro 2.

I've recently uninstalled an app well within the 24 hour period, but there was no uninstall and refund button - only an uninstall button. The downloads section in the Market show the app as having a "purchased" status (not "installed"). Does this refund occur in any case eventually?

The best you can do is e mail the person our people that manage the app
Times never wasted when your getting waisted
Strange that the developer cannot be contacted. One of the comments alludes to this. The app in question is PlayerPro. It's just too clunky for my large collection and I'd rather deal with lists than images. It's not a fortune, but still a bit strange...
I guess buyer beware when it comes to PlayerPro. However, I wouldn't think this to be a dev issue, but rather a Market issue.
http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134336
Refund policy
You have 24 hours from the time of purchase (not download) to return an application purchased through Android Market for a full refund. You may only return a given application once; if you subsequently purchase the same app again, you may not return it a second time.
How to return an app:
From Market, visit the My Downloads page, and select the application you'd like to return.
* Applications that are eligible for return are marked with a 'Uninstall & Refund' button. Please note that after the 24-hour return period has expired, all sales are final.
* After 24 hours, selecting the "Uninstall" button will simply remove the application from your device. More about uninstalling purchased applications.
If you're unsatisfied with an application after 24 hours, we recommend contacting the developer directly. Learn more about refunds.
Ya, it doesn't have anything to do with the developer. The Market has its own purchasing rules that everyone must follow. My guess is that you went beyond the 24 hours even if you didn't realize it. Contacting the developer and having them directly reimburse you the money is the only way to get it back, but keep in mind that if the dev agrees, you would still be able to use the app because the dev has no way of monitoring your use. They realize this which may make them gun shy on replying to a bunch of similar requests.
Nah, I'm still *well* within the 24 hour period. Downloaded around 8pm last night. Email from market to prove it. Oh well, it's more a curiosity.

EDIT: APPARENTLY, ONLY WORKS IF YOU ARE BRAZILIAN. Sorry for the rest of you guys, I didn't know that =/
I'm not aware of any topics stating this, so I'll publicize my discovery. If everybody already knows, please forgive me for being the slowpoke.
If you register your product's IMEI on the site you get a coupon for Dropbox that, when inserted, gives you another 2GB of storage.
I'm not sure if other countries have this promo, so if your don't, go into www.samsung.com.br, it's the brazilian site, or chose the country in the location selector. In the lower left corner of the screen there is a big dropbox icon that is the promotion thing. The instructions should be easy to follow even in a completely unknown language, or you could use Google Translator. Here goes a quick run-down anyway:
The first stage (Etapa 1) simply teaches you how to download dropbox from market. If you have to follow those instructions, don't forget to jump out the window afterwars. So just click "avançAr" (next).
The second stage teaches you how to create a dropbox account. I don't believe a single being in this forum doesn't have one, so... next.
The third stage is where you have to create your Samsung account if you don't have one yet. After that, you'll have to register your product via IMEI, which is in Settings - About Phone - Status.
As a last step, you'll get your coupon on the Samsung site, then you have to go to www.dropbox.com/coupon and insert the code.
Enjoy and click "Thanks" if this helped you =)
the site did not recognize my existing samsung account, when i enter my email it wanted to create a new one. this was not possible because i dont have a valid CPF (brasilian tax number)...
I though it accepted worldwide accounts. My bad =/
I really want this to work, but it's not taking my dropbox email. I'm pretty sure I have a brazillian note.
If you want more space on Dropbox, just make virtual PCs and "invite" them to your account. You don't even need a real e-mail to register now. No need to give out your personal data to a brazilian website.
I've already hit my referral limit (with actual referrals). Who says I'm giving samsung brazil my personal information?
Edit: I've somehow made it to the part where it asks my IMEI, but it's not taking it... Oh well! I am 95% sure my note it Brazilian.

You could always use a site like http://www.geradorcpf.com/ to generate a fake cpf.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
well, it worked for me, using both the CPF and IMEI generators There goes an extra 2gb
I wouldn't be bothering with Dropbox since box.com gives out 50gb, but both Titanium Backup and SafeWallet both use it, so this is my everyday cloud service.
Next step - this weekend - is to bump up the storage another 8gb (depending on just how long each loop takes) via referrals on virtual pc's, as mentioned above. This link explains how: http://tippopotamus.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-get-525gb-on-dropbox-with-free.html
Don't see any dropbox images on the site :\
Heads up
This actually does work outside of Brasil.

Could anyone from Brazil PM me with a spare coupon? thanks.
Too bad that the link for the IMEI (step 7) is dead...
Its over. The site says that the number of avaliable cupoms has been reached.
Eww I missed this promo.
Thx god there're still 50Gb on my Box acc lolz.

Pretty sure I found a way they will work a lot of the time
Step 1. Go into the help app
Step 2 click on contact via email (they reply fast)
Step 3 click on problems with lock screen /notifications
Step 4 click on seeing notifications
Step 5 use this text in the describe the problem " I would like to disable the intrusive ads on the lockscreen at get in the way of seeing my wallpaper."
And then they will most likely disable special offers after that
Wrong. I got sick of the ads to the point I paid the $15. But what for? They don't let me uninstall the 'Special Offers' App after paying. If I had to guess, I would say they don't even turn the ads off and they just place wallpapers over the top of them. I totally had forgotten about this until I saw your post. I will be calling hem or emailing them to ask them to remove the app altogether or refund me my $15.

Why is the previous poster "wrong"? Understand you are fussed about the app remaining after paying $15 USD but most folks are simply happy to see the ads disappear even if downloads still occur in the background. To each his own - there is no "wrong" or "right".

You're right. I could've used better words. I can understand how most would be happy with that, but most don't understand or even know it still runs in the background or wherever. I just feel like it's a scam is all.

My Fire 7 screen died. I have a Fire 8 on the way. I'm going to ask if they'll transfer my 'ransom' payment from my 7 to the 8...given I only paid to have the ads removed less than two weeks or so ago.
Wow, something similar in german worked. And I got a reply within 15min at 10pm today, on a public holiday, wow
But the reply states that it is a 'one time exception from their policy' to remove the ads. As long as you only have that one device, it's ok.

It worked ! Sent your email before I went to sleep and their answer was there when I woke up:
I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've had with the ads on the screen of your Fire tablet.
As you requested, I have disabled Special Offers on your Fire.
Please understand that by unsubscribing, you'd have been charged $15.00 for the price difference between the device with and the device without Special Offers. *******But I made an exception and waived off the charge and unsubscribed the special offers on your Fire tablet.
Please turn wireless on, and the next time you connect your device wirelessly, it will complete the process of unsubscribing from Special Offers.
If you've further queries, please let us know so that we can help you in every possible way.
Please visit the following link to provide the information we requested:
I hope this helps! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the links below to tell us about your experience today.
Best regards,
My Fire 7 screen died so I got a Fire HD 8, used from Amazon direct for $51. Here is what I saved: Apparently when you unsubscribe from 'Special Offers' by paying the fee, it applies to new tablets as well. I didn't ask if they could apply the payment from my Fire 7, it was automatic. So -$15 there. Amazon technicians are either too busy or don't care. I was checking storage when I noticed it had storage on the SD card...well it doesn't come with a card. So -$15 again because I got a free card (retail about $13-15). In the end, a brand new Fire HD 8 is about $70. I pad $25 after the savings. Not bad at all.
I tried this, except I told them the ads were inappropriate. It worked and my ads were removed in just a few minutes.

Thanks so much! I literally sat there for about two minutes and then I turned my kindle on and saw that there were no more ads. Then I typed in my PIN and saw that my Special Offers app was uninstalled!!!
