how do i get the free aol instant messanger app Qtek 9100

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.
Later; Lew

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.

Myfaves

Hello everyone.
Im a newb with the t-mobile wing, and I have a question, where can I download the myfaves zip or files.. The only file I have in myfaves folder is
ActLogMonitor.vol. If anyone can help me I will appreciate thank you.

My Faves
you realy do not need My Faves on your device. You can manage the on MyT-Mobile.com. I have MyFaves and i'm using HTC Herald and i manage my contacts online and it works fine. The softwear is just to get you to buy a new phone lol

Not working with T-Mobile UK. I'm gonna have to get a supported handset from the shop to setup numbers.

Oz Cab

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.

AIM for the 8525

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.

Windows Live Messenger network not available/try again

Hello all.The Windows Live messenger is not staying connected. This seems like an issue that has been around for years. I had it when I had an HTC Wizard ages ago. It seems to be happening alot on both of my HD2 phones. Also, messages are not consistently transmitting. I get the "try again" error.
Questions:
1.) I have even updated Live messenger from the Market and same problem. Is there a fix/better free IM app? I need Live & AIM.
2.) The OZ multi-protocol IM app is preloaded on the T-Mobile US HD2. Does this app use text? I have a feeling it does. The problem is that I do not have unlimited text because I kept our G1 data plans.
Thank You all in advance. )

OK. After testing this on T-Mobile US, I can see that it is using my text pool. I also called customer care and they verified this. I will stick with data only apps.

Thank You kilrah. I tried nimbuzz, beejive, and palringo. Nimbuz had weird code holes that caused crashing because of missing functions. Beejive is no-longer supported on WinMo and it regularly crashes. Palringo is working good so far(knock on wood). Messages seem to always arive in time. And it has the nice Push to Talk feature.
I think everything will be ok for now. Thank You all for the help!

Strange....I'm using that in Singapore, our networks don't allow IM via text, and it works just fine over data.
Of course, I have no idea what T-mobile does to make it different, I can only say that it works on data only for me.

Lucky for you
After testing Palringo a bit, it looks like the first message does not always make it to the phone. Also the audio and vibrate notification is not happening on the first few messages.
I am going back to Live Messenger. I called T-Mobile and hopefully there is something wrong with the network in my area causing Live Messenger to disconnect. If that doesn't fix it I am out of ideas.

After disabling Sense UI it seems to at least vibrate on incoming messages now. This will have to do for now. I will file a bug with palringo. I am just glad the messages send and arrive and the app always reconnects after loosing signal.
