looking for instant messaging software - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

im looking for some kind of instant messaging software that can be used with wifi instead of the networks... is there some crack to at&t's oz, or is there some software someone can recommend?

Fring is free
Don't ask for cracks in this forum...

Fring is cool, as is Palringo - both are free.
But I prefer, for now, Agile Messenger, and there is also the famous IM+, both being commercial apps.

Hi !
You can also have a look on OctroTalk, beta free for now,
or on EQO, free

All of them can be used over Wi-Fi...

Messenger
Hi,
I am searching for free Y! messenger. I tried agile messenger but its no more free to use. any ideas ?

sorry forgot to mention i have K-Jam WM5

also can try www.palringo.com

w/ palringo I'd get logged off every few minutes (no proxy?) so I dropped it quick
I think I'll try octrotalk or fring. Anyone know if they have proxy support?

Which IM software for the universal?

Hello!
I would greatly appreciate it if you could suggest any good multi - IM software for the universal (Yahoo, MSN, ICQ mainly)
agile messenger was good, but it has a lot of stability issues on the universal. So could you suggest something other than agile?
Thanks,
San
Hmm I'd be interested also in what people are using, at the moment I only have PocketMSN installed.
MSN via IRC
Hi all,
Well I own an MDA Pro (HTC Universal) so it doesn't come with MSN Messenger installed. I am waiting for the new Rom though which does include it. In the meantime I'm using an IRC client in combination with Bitlbee to get on the MSN network. It works like a charm. If you don't know what Bitlbee is you can go here (www.bitlbee.org) to read all about it and to try it out. Basically it's just a IRC Bot/Script that you can run on your computer and it forms a gateway to different IM networks like MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM etc... You can also use the public servers if you don't want to install it on your own pc. Ow and it's free also.
Agile Messenger for Windows Mobile is still free as far as I know, and supports MSN, Yahoo!, AOL, Jabber and ICQ.
I'm using it almost daily. Works quite well, actually.
It has crashed on me at times, but only after extensive chatting.
Omnichaos: Does the MDA Pro not come with MSN? The i-mates do, and it's a free download from Microsoft's site too. The problem with using IRC scripts and bots is that not one bit of it is encrypted, so you're opening up your data to some script-kiddie with lots of time on his hands (granted, I haven't read about your solution, so I don't know the details)
Even I use Agile messenger..it works fine also in Full VGA Mode :lol:
What about any alternatives for just an MSN? I'm not using any other communicators so don't need the all-in-one ones.
I'm quite happy with Pocket MSN, it's just annoying me that the chat window is so small and hard to read and there is a huge unused space underneath.

Click on your SIP to display it, and then hide it again to clear the huge unused space.

Also my Agile crashes now and then my Jasjar. Indeed you need extensive chatting first. It has never crashed just in stand bye mode.
Agile however recovers very well after being out of reach of the network, which, in my case, cannot be said about MSN.
And the MSN new-user-on-line warning can officially not be switched off. Very irritating.
Anyone tried IM+?
Huib
hey, Thanks!!!
@ snorbaard
No the MDA Pro does not come with MSN Messenger at least not yet (It's included in the next Rom update). I don't know why they haven't included it in the first place cause I now that the Imate's, O2's & Qtek's do.
You are right about MSN being a free download but you have to active your MSN account first for you to be able to use Pocket MSN and that costs 15 euro's.
But as I said it doesn't matter for me that much cause I'm using IRC to get on the MSN network.
You're probably right about IRC not being encrypted but you can run it on your own computer which does increase security alot than if you were to use the public servers. Besides I don't really care that much. It's not like I'm giving away passwords or creditcard numbers on MSN anyway.

Sweet!!!
Can't wait to try it out.
New Agile? Great. Used it on my Nokia 9500. Very nice and stable.
eagerly waiting for a testdrive.

IM+ is really good. Its WM5 compliant and does Google messenger also.
yo i tried agile on my mda pro, but it wouldnt work,
touchscreen doesnt work with it,and i could only select msn not logon to it
to bad, i just have to wait voor that t-mobile update i guess
P'z
Beta
The new version should support:
Push To Talk
Image Transfer
Emoticons
Group Management
Typing Notification
Support for AOL, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, and Google Talk
Amongst a number of other new features, and an entirely new interface.
There have ben a number of internal builds over the past few months, and we expect to be releasing a Beta very shortly.
For those of you that are requesting early Beta's it is simply not possible as we intend to provide it to the entire community as soon as our internal devlopment team and quality controll is satisfied that it is ready for public release; which we expect to be in the next few weeks.

I also use IM+. I have since i first got my old Nokia 7650 many moons ago.
I use an XDA EXEC at the moment and the built in MSN Messenger is really bad it claims i am connected when i am not and my gprs monitor reported over 400k usage in around 3 hours without any use.
With IM+ i use around 23K when connecting then a very small amount each time i chat.
AFAIK IM+ also connects directly to the services. I know some other third party ones connect through their own servers.

Dingo, that is good news. There is competition. I would love you to compare both Agile and IM+ as soon as the new, rewritten, Agile appears.
I use Agile at the moment. Apart from sometimes hanging my Jasjar, it does the job well. Especially REconnecting after being in the subway is very imporant for me. MSN just does not and Agile reconnects quickly.
MB consumtion of MSN is unacceptable. Very strange that MS delievered a product like that.

Hi guys
I have been using agile oin my T;mobile exec. It is very stable and i also find it recovers well on disconnects between cell sites. I regularly use it on express train journeys in the uk. But for these i tend to turn of UMTS and force gsm only. this really helps on speeding up agile reconnecting when the unoiversal is moving fast. The other big thing on agile is it costs less than 305 of the bw that MS MSN client uses. So on samll bundles it will save far more in bw costs than any licence feee will cost. If you are having problems on the t-mobile exec, then you are probably doing something wrong, or you have some other trird party sw installed that is messing thinbgs up. Personally i am really pleased that tmob did not install msn otherwise i would not have discovered agile. Can t wait till the new version comes out.
Keepup the good work at the Agile dev team.
Regards
Charlie
MSN Mobile is ... really bad IMHO.
Im also using IM+ as its the most stable for me. It also support jabber but it really miss some basic features.
Are they any other good jabber clients?
Agile was also not really working out for me, lets see how it behave on an new version.
If anybody know any other clients plz post them. Im also really ready to pay for them - 100EURO for a really ok client is no problem. Sources would be even better so i could fix the rest myself.
If somebody could provide sources, i would even sign an NDA or something and pay more.
Would love if somebody contact me

Forgive my idiocy, but was Agile at some point "free"? And when did it become not free?
agile was free for ages, they called it a trial but it never expired.
noticed it wasnt about 6 months ago or so i guess they decided to start trying to charge people for it.
also try http://www.ebuddy.com/ which is a web based messenger app allows MSN and yahoo on most wap enabled mobiles.
i still prefer IM+ but thats not free.

Search For Slicks Im
I think this is a good program to try
EQO Mobile. It's a messaging app that lets you connect with aim, msn, gmail, and I think yahoo. It's free, and it looks pretty nice. Again, it's called "EQO"
I've been using palringo and it plugs into 6 IMs, including msn, yahoo, aim and google
nice interface too.
Also does voice and picture sending
IM+ is a good application as it has all the usual suspects including MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, etc etc, and it works on WM5, WM6 & WM6.1
Last time i checked palringo isn't freeware.

I was curious about a couple of the programs in this thread, so I started looking, but haven't installed yet. I was also wondering if palringo was free. I hit their faq website and found:
How Much Does Palringo Cost?
Palringo is free and will remain free for non commercial users.
Commercial users may be interested in the benefits of an Enterprise account. See here for more information.
Palringo connects through the internet so if you pay for data usage, such as on a mobile phone, check with your network operator for pricing information.

But it looks like you have to sign up on their website http://forum.palringo.com/faq.php?faq=gettingstarted#faq_gettingstarted_signup
I might have to try it to see how it goes.

I loaded palringo, and it does seem very cool. I like it better than slick. And it has some features that look really cool. Like, groups with group chat and voice messaging. Now I just need to get some buddies to load it up on their windows mobile and blackberry phones so we can give it a good workout.

Palringo FTW!!

Messenger application

I know there was an old thread on here but I could not find it, so, forgive me to ask again:
What is the best Messenger application for WM5 / WM6?
I love the look and work of AGILE MESSENGER but the price is way too high for a program like this! Also: users get routed through their own servers to 'validate' the lisence. This causes time delay and additional data trafic each time you connect and in a long run you pay more than you would have to if you pay per data volume.
It would be great to find a program what does at least the main 4: AOL, ICQ, MSN, YAHOO. What do you guys use?
You could try Octrotalk.
Useful info here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323654
you can try look for IM+.
this messenger can connect to msn, yahoo, google, jabber, etc...
if i'm not mistaken they also have a version which can connect to skype. but i'm not sure with this.
fring does all of them with the exceptio of Yahoo. Very light weight and supports voice on all. www.fring.com
im using im+ i can send it to you just PM for me

Best Free Messenger for TD2

Interested to know the best messenger for TD2 that user in this group are using
MSN Messenger?
Beejive IM
I was looking for something like "Agile Messenger" or some similar varients.... But unfortunately Agile for PCC is not free .
Use Fring (http://www.fring.com/default.asp) the best I've ever used!
when I am connected by wap I use "ebuddy", because this is the unique software that I known for chatting with MSN contacts.
Anyone knowns other program that connecting with MSN in wap?
Fring is the best.
I will try FRING today. Thanks ALL for reply.
But the Fring site doesnt officially support any WVGA devices yet.
Has anyone tried running Fring on 480*800?
Try Nimbuzz, I use it, it has Skype integrated also.
www.nimbuzz.com
or directly from phone m.nimmbuzz.com and it's free
fring 480x800
I downloaded the fring CAB for the xperia for my diamond 2.
Installation was easy and fast.
Works fine with 480x800. No problems yet.
You can try also slick. It's alpha, crashes sometimes, but works.

This seems to be good. I have just installed the Fring... and will try this in a day or two. Looks like free, similar to Fring.
I think I need to choose between Fring and Nimbuzz
PS: Done some google for reviews of these two, and seen Nimbuzz is good
Thanks for the tips in this topic. Nimbuzz is working great indeed! I had been using Fring, but it doesn't work anymore with the latest Leo ROMs.
Nimbuzz is the BEST
Hi All,
I have been using Nimbuzz and found this to be the BEST with all IMs integrated for Chat and Voice Calls too .
Thanks.
Try Palringo. Integrated with Facebook, msn, yahoo, gmail. PTT (Push to Talk) also.
Since I have a wap plan I use ebuddy because it is the only instant messenger that works with this type of connection. eBuddy also connects to MSN, Skype, etc.

I agree. Palringo is by far the best IM for winmo
I like Palringo, although the interface is not as pretty as Beejive. I have problem with Nimbuzz keeping connect and alive on my phone.

any good messengers? how about fring?

has anyone used fring messenger? http://www.fring.com/fring_is/fringadd-ons/
i tried using nimbuzz, but i get errors and can not connect.
palringo seems a bit slow on mine as well.
are there others for IM + facebook + google chat + Y!?
try beejive messenger it support every instant messenger service except facebook instant...i think this is one of the best instant messenger out there for window mobile phone
cool thanks. eBuddy seems cool. haven't used it, but will update later.
Palringo
IMHO Palringo is the best multi-messenger application. It supports Voice and photo sharing as well. I use it on the desktop and my mobile. There are also groups that you can join. There are several smartphone groups like XDA, smartphone, HTC, Windows Mobile, etc..
You should definately check it out.
+1 for Palringo. Small on the ram usage, connects to everything, works great.
Palringo is good. Have tried the other but it is the best for my use. Too bad it does not have Skype yet
palringo is hands down the best out there. and they're very receptive to feature requests and feedback.
