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.

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.

You can give this one a try. It came with my ATT Tilt. It has all three messengers in one. AIM, Yahoo, and MSN. Hope it helps
Does the OZ IM program that comes on the Tilt use data or SMS?

I've found and begun using palringo. Nothing else I've found so far really compares.

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.
Hi,
I have recently switched back from using AgileMessenger to using OZ IM, which is the "Instant Messaging" program bundled with T-Mobile MDAs. I did this because I hate how I miss messages when I'm in an area with poor service using AgileMessenger. OZ IM uses SMS messages, so it doesn't have that problem, but it does have one ASTOUNDINGLY annoying feature - it constantly shows a notification entitled "AOL Instant Messenger" that seems to just serve to tell me that its available and let me switch to it. I think this is a convenience for people who aren't using a replacement task switcher like Magic Button, and in that context I can see it being good, but personally I find it quite annoying. Is there any way that anyone is aware of that I can disable that notification? I'd prefer to use Magic Button to switch to OZ IM and use the notification feature for what it was intended for.
I've been having the same problem on my new MDA and just searched to find this single thread about it. Anyone have a solution?
ANNOYING AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
i also agree
on another note i checked the oz.com site and it shows that they have a version that does msn messenger too, i would like to get one that does them all wonder how i can get that version??? also would like to get it with google talk...
hey i just found this on HowardForums, I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but am going to right now will post results in a few
"Posted by: goombalife
As for Agile Notification options, there is some bug that appears to constantly be neglected, at least for our wizards. To remove the annoying balloon notification run the client once, look inside of \program files\agilemessenger... and using a text editor (total commander for example) open preferences.xml look for the dual entry of <text_balloons>, remove the first entry and notice the second entry is the option you have chosen inside the client... OFF! "
dumbass me, this was for agilemessenger
sorry jumped the gun..
Does anyone know if T-Mobile OZ works with any other provider? I am with Fido and cannot get it to go.

I have been using this program for about 3 days now and I must say that it is pretty good. You really have to follow the setup to get it right. I did not select to do the transcribe feature but I am thinking about it now that I like the Visual Voice mail side of the program.
My only downside now is the program is not giving me a notification that I have new emails. They say it is supposed to work......but! The way I overcame this is that on the setup screen, I have notification set to send me a email to let me know. This is a work around but still a great app.
Anyone else using this..........if so let me know what you think and how it is working for you.
CallWave does this too...
...and it is free.
i saw this on boygenius.com. but i also read that the .cab file is only for the smartphone and not for pocket pc.

I use callwave as well...it's so awesome! I LOVE IT!
Been trying to sign up for callwave but it doesn't recognize my phone number format and I'm in Canada.
How should it be written?
as for simulscribe, yes make sure u follow instructions or it wont work
I tried callwave.....it seems pretty good, but there is not a program for the PPC that will allow you to see each voicemail that you have. It does send to your email. If you have push email turned on, it is ok. SimulScribe still seems to be a little further in with its PPC Visual Voice Mail. Maybe someone will come out with something better quick!

You mention you were having problems with email notifications. Does this work with your email, or is it a standalone app (there's not too much info on the simulsays website). Also, the website mentions it's compatible with a few Blackberry devices and Windows Mobile Smartphones (not Pocket PC's). You didn't have any problems installing it?
It is a .cab file that you download. After you do setup on their site and download the cab file, it will update itself with a new .cab. The second .cab is for PPC not smartphone. I have no trouble with anything but it's internal notification. As a side note you can setup a notification via email and this works great. I just hate having to apply this fix! Anyone out there without this problem.
What does transcribed do?

You can get your voicemails transcribed and sent to you via email or text message. You have to pay for this feature.
Tomcat - have you noticed any extra battery drain using this app? I'm wondering if it works sort of like push email, where it's constantly checking if you have new voicemail, or if it only works when you actually get a new voicemail.
I'm removing this. My phone doesn't alert me when I have a voice message. I have to go to the program to check. Also the voice mail volume is really really low.
This looked quite cool, but it seems to require a monthly fee for the service (which is fine, but I wouldn't use it enough to make it worthwhile).
However, I am wondering something now....
I have a wizard and it was said that a wizard is not capable of accessing the audio for the phone, but I see that you can "record" calls on a Hermes. I'd guess this is limited to you recording your side, but if you could record/monitor the incoming signal and I have free voicemail, would it be possible to transcribe messages on the phone when the program is activated by an incoming voicemail notification?
Ahhh pipe dreams...
PT Barnum was right
Hello,
My company (corporate phone) is too cheap to allow me to txt. So I was thinking Ill download an AIM client and jsut aim instead since I have the data plan. What is the best aim client ?
Any advise?
Phil
agile messenger is by far the best i've used, too bad its 45 freggin dollars. if you want one that is free search on google for aim for mobile/ce devices. its free, but i really hate it. when you're using the free aim, to send the message you have to tap send on the screen (unless theres a trick way around this that i haven't found in the last 2 years) and sometimes when you tap that send key, u actually resize the chat window instead, and gettin it to resize back w/out a stylus is a pain.
anybody else know of any other programs? i'd love to switch. quite honestly it sucks that aol hasn't released a FREE version of aim for mobile devices
Aim 2.0 ... use THIS one ive attatched.
It places the Menu bar on TOP
If you go to Edit > preferences, you can uncheck the box that says "Enter key inserts return" ... and you can then SEND your messages by pressing the enter key.
displays everything you see on the desktop version of aim as far as Profiles, and away messages. People using mobile devices however ... do not appear on your list.

ohhh man, mucho thanx...im glad to get rid of that older version
i had aim 2.0 uk version installed and i was able to connect with this. installed the flipped version and now i can't connect. is there anything i can do to fix this?
um.. AIM messages count as TXT messages. At least through AT&T they do.. not sure about other carriers.
nvm it just randomly worked. and how can aim count as text through any carrier? if you connect through wifi, it doesn't even go through your carrier. if it doesn't go through your carrier, how can they charge you a text?

. . . only if you're using an "onboard" IM client provided in the carrier ROM. Any IM client that you download and install uses data.
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

Whats Is OZ Pocket PC? Just got my wing and I'm looking to trick it out.

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.
