Does anyone have the oz cab that is compatible with WM6? I deleted mine off, but have decided that IM+ and mundu take up too much resources for the little I use them. I have unlimited text messaging with my family plan, so I would like to go ahead and reload oz, but don't want to have to do a hard reset in order to do so.
Any help would be much appreciated. I searched, but couldn't find it.
Thanks.

Thank you. Unfortunately, now I can't get the darn thing to work. It keeps saying communication error and to check my settings.

I had the same problem, what you need to do is uninstall it, and install it to your device. If you had it installed to your storage it will continue to give the error. If you install to device it will work just fine. Hope that helps!
If you want it to work you're goin to have to hard reset and let the T-Mo customizations run. Remember Oz IM runs off you're SMS and not a dedicated internet app, so there will be some settings that would have to be tweaked in order to sync it. I don't know if anyone has made it work or even tried to yet, but there are other options out there. There's IM+ and Agile but you'll have to purchase them after trial period, and there's also imov and palringo which are both free, but have their share of problems. All run on internet so it's much better than sms based.
I personally use a combo of palringo and imov. Palringo is better looking and more feature rich than imov but disconnects frequently even when there's service. Also, as of right now, there's a problem with switching between different chats. It doesn't save your conversion once you exit out and there's no workaround at the moment. Imov basically has no features, is very basic in looks, and has ads that take up about one-third of your screen, but it is much more stable. You can leave it running overnight.
Hope this helps
You don't have to do a hard reset and let the Tmo extras run, I am running my wing debranded with the cab re-installed to my device, and it works for me with no problems. Although you can use the other programs papito mentions if you have a data plan. If you just have a text msg plan use the oz cab.
how do i choose to install on the device? it doesnt give me an option. i use 8525 btw
or are you guys talking about miucro sd card cuz i dont have one

thx alot ive been lookin everywhere for this.
Whats Is OZ Pocket PC? Just got my wing and I'm looking to trick it out.
Thanks
Okay, I think I have this OZ communicator figured out somewhat. It seems that there is a registry key that makes a connection to a site that (I would assume) handles the IM/SMS exchange for the OZ IM Client (HKCU\Software\OZ Communications\Configuration\1\Network) which points at http://aol.cwmim.com:1171 I would think that it is the conversion here that creates the text message charge. I would think that t-mobile would have a similar site to put in here that handles conversion for their network. Anyone have a t-mobile phone with OZ, and can pass that out to us?

I have a t-mobile wing with a custom rom on it. I wanted to install Oz because i wanted to have the instant messengers. I do have unlimited text and the basic data plan. When I installed the program, it gave me a communication error and to check the settings but it also sent me a text message...which I didnt understand. How can I get the program to work? I have it installed on the device memory already.

There is a free instant messenger app that comes with all WM5 phones. SDA, etc. My Qtek 9100 only has the MSN messanger app. I am looking for a free aol im app. Also I use Mac.....so how do i get it to my phone. It seems you can only do it from a PC. There has to be a way around this. Does anyone know a download place for the aol im for WM5? Has anyone figured this one out....I know you can buy one, which is lame.....when it is free on most WM5 phones. Please someone out there......give the answers.....lol.
u can do this by using agile messenger
i dont have my wizard already, but i found in the internet this free messenger:
http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm
they say it is for WM 5.0
Agile says the WM 5.0 comes soon. (But i guess the 2002 Beta works too)
this agile messenger u can try it, i use it in my pda2k wm2003
Ahem...hello Alex. The T-Mobile messenger app is called OZ. It's actually pretty cool, but it only integrates AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo. Here is the Cab file.
Hey Yung. Thanx for answering his question and not giving him a whole bunch of alternitives. I was looking for this to, and every time I asked soemone would post; "use this, use that, I recommend this..." You get the idea. Anyways, thanks man.

I tried out the OZ program and it seemed to work just fine. What I don't like is that it appears to use SMS for your IM's instead of your data connection. I talked with two people at TMO Customer service, but they just kept trying to tell me about regular texting. But on the TMO site, it looks like all instant message programs that come on their phones use SMS.
That is probably true since th eOX program dosent seam to work on my cingular 8125. It installs and all but it never can connect.
Later; Lew
OZ does appear to use text messaging, since T-Mobile just charged me for 45 text messages after I installed and started using it. :shock:
The T-Mobile extended ROM also included the T-Mobile Comm Manager. It has the phone on/off setting. See attached Cab...
Your list of PDA/Phones is longer than any of your posts. Cool 8)
I may try that comm manager, but I am going to wait till I will have the time to do a hard reset, just in case.
Later; Lew
I installed the OZ messenger on my cingular 8125 and it worked fine. I also hope that it doesnt use SMS as I've been using it like mad and don't want to get charged... The GPRS/Edge icon changes to connected when I connect using OZ messenger, so i'm hopeful that it doesn't use SMS.
Wow. Are you on Cingular network? Please let me know what you find out about how it works, SMS or Direct.
Later; Lew
I installed the cab. Yet when I try to sign on, I get the sms yet it doesn't successfully work. Newbie apologies if I'm not doing something obvious.
Probably not, I tryed, not long, but I tryed to get it to work. It kept failing to connect. Meh... what can you do?
Later; Lew
So... I couldn't get it to connect. I uninstalled, but there is a ghost icon left in programs. How can I get rid of the shortcut?
It needs to be installed to the phone, not the card. ONce I reinstalled, it worked fine.
so has anyone been successful in runnin a free aol program from their MDA?? i hate the fact tmo charges 14.99 in addition to the 29.99 dataplan for unlimited text messages.

agile works fine, its not designed for wm5, but it still works. there is supposed to be a beta wm5 version coming out soon
I tried loading OZ on my Qtek 9100 with cingular and it will not connect. When I look in the registry under HKCU\OZ Communications\Configuration\1
Data: Network
Value: http://wirelessvillage.t-mobile.com
It appears to point to T-Mobile which is not my carrier and may be why I can't connect.
Has anyone been able to get OZ IM to work with Cingular? If so, what is this registrry value in your registry?
Thanks.
only when I have established a wap/connection? I dont feel like running up my text messaging and was curious if this is possible. Also im looking for posibly an irc client.
thanks a lot!
on a side note i just bought my mda last night and have been waiting to pick one up for some time now. ive installed the Registry wiz and total commander which works really nice
cheers!

Yes of course. WiFi or GPRS connections will enable you to use any instant messaging program that doesn't use text as a way to "IM."

I don't know of any good IRC client as I do not use any but this one has very good reviews on every site I see it on (And magazine reviews) http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=5713
but will i get double charged as this concerned customer wrote:
http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/681
If you use Agile Messener, or the new Windows Live Mobile, you WILL NOT be charged using text messages. the AOL program (and the protocol, in my opinion) is retarded in it's method of message delivery. The two programs I have mentioned above, send IMs using your data tariff ONLY, unless you are connected to a WiFi access point, in which case, IMs will be sent over that network, rather than the mobile one.
Hope this has re-assured you...

You DO have unlimited text messaging don't you? When I was new to my device, I used Oz, and it ate my text time (I am on the 400 message plan).

OZ for Blackberry Pearl Flip?
Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me...
I had the OZ messenger bundle on my Blackberry pearl, which allowed me to IM without having a data plan.
Upgraded to the Flip which doesn't have that capability. I don't want or need a data plan, but I do want my OZ instant messenger back - especially for AOL IM.
Can anyone help me get the OZ app on my flip?
Thank you!

This isn't a BlackBerry forum.
It's for HTC phones ONLY.
i currently have the UK version of aim on my fone and its a hassle to have to login by sending a message and even more annoyin to press the send button instead of enter. ive tried other free versions of Aim such as IM+ and didnt like them except Agilemessenger which was good but last only a week. I saw a link to this site that mods the uk version to work by pressing enter but idk how to install it? it just downloads the file and i dont know wat to do with it? can ne1 help me or give me sum other options for free aim messengers that work on the 8525?
here is the link to the file i downloaded.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29210&d=1153123292
thx in advance
I've attached is a modified version of the AIM I use that I snagged off a Treo site back when i had my 700w. Basically, it takes the File Menu that's usually on the bottom, and flips it to the top. It works AWESOME
To press enter to send a message, go into the Preferences and uncheck where it says 'Enter key sends return' or something along those lines.
Other people had problems with AIM staying open.. while using this version of aim and X-Button from HTC (task manager) and my connection 'Always On' in HTCustom AIM runs forever, unless you lose service, in which you have to re-sign on. The sounds and everything work great while it's running in the background, even with the phone off it works. I haven't noticed a big change in battery life either.
Only if there were some type of today plugin for this..
If you need any help feel free to message me..
EDIT: included a screenshot so you can check it out.

I've found and begun using palringo. Nothing else I've found so far really compares.
I just wish verichat had a wm version.
I Hard-SPL'd my Wing and threw Touch-It 4.4 on it. From what I am understanding, this means I can now use my phone with any carrier. Does this also mean that while using it with T-Mobile that they won't be able to charge me for AIM messages that I sent thru wi-fi now? They have a nasty policy of charging for AIM messages even if you send them thru private wifi.

You have tp PAY when you are using wifi????
when gprs isn´t connected and you are using wifi - that COULD not happen in my eyes.
BUT often when GPRS is connected AND wifi also the programs go through GPRS!!!!!! ths the problem. allways disconnect GPRS!
there is a liitle app "MoDaCo - Nodata" that prevents GPRS for connecting - if you don´t wish it to...
Trust me. I had the GPRS connection deleted from the connection manager. It could not connect thru there at all. I even called them and they said themselves, "there's a portion of the IM that travels thru T-Mobile" They wouldn't tell me for what, just that it has to. Bull**** because when I'm using hacked AIM 2.0 (they block the official AIM 2.0.), guess what? No AIM charges...
But I hate AIM 2.0. The software is ancient and therefore annoying.
How does Tmobile charge you for the AIM message? As data? As a sms?
Like the other guy, I dont understand how Tmobile would even "know" your aiming if you are doing so via WAN. Hmmmmm strange.

Tmobile's OZ instant messaging application allows you to use AIM, YIM and ICQ .. but the catch is, it uses the text plan in order to avoid having to use a data plan. So people use the IM application then get a bill for 1,000,000 SMS messages and they have no idea where it came from.

Yeah thats exactly the way I understand it. I figured b/c he was talking about going over wireless he was using IM+ or something.
hidavi, have you tried a third party program like IM+ ??
Doesn't matter, they still charge thru IM+. I know cuz for a whole month I used IM+ thru wifi and I got overaged $80 for AIM messages. I swear, if I'm not on data or wifi, my IMs won't go thru, not thru OZ not thru IM+.
This is from a product review
What I didn't know is that it is not a true online instant messenger application. Behind the scenes, it sends instant messages using SMS, and on the other person's end, repackages those SMS messages into the IM application. It seems like a novel idea, but the side effects are awful: OZ Messenger's ability to stay "connected" for chat, report the online/offline status of others, and report YOUR status as online/offline is hit or miss. Sending and receiving messages is also very unreliable. During the three days I struggled through this, roughly half of my messages weren't sent due to a "network error", despite having 4 or 5 bars and a full EDGE connection. (Side note - I'm also worried T-Mobile will bill me for SMS usage when I used this instant messenger)

Wow doode.....that sucks....
Well, I'm not getting charged nowadays since I'm using hacked AIM 2.0, but I really wish this program had a Today plugin and a easier to use interface...
From what I found in the guts of the registry, OzIM uses a T-Mobile server as a portal for the IM system. Since every IM you send filters through their server, they have full control to see where and what you are sending, saying, seeing, etc, even if you are on a WiFi connection.
I've seen several recommendations for alternate IM systems that Don't Suck. Slick was recommended by somebody, but I haven't personally tried it yet.
