OK I just flashed my T-Mobile Wing to the Touch-It. I'm starting to like it, but does anybody have the IM app that comes with the T-Mobile original rom?
oz messenger sucks...
try ringo or fring..
if u don't mind paying or a trial, then try agile messenger..very verrry good one.
also jsut wondering does the OZ messenger run off the internet or does it take up each txt msg to send/recieve?
it runs off of text messages
that just explains why i just went over my txt msg....what else do you recommend thats free and reliable?
you should look into Palringo, it's free and it runs off the data connection so it's fast as hell... I've tried almost all the IM clients and out of the free ones I've tried this one seems to be the best for me.
There's an AIM client out there that does only AIM. I have it on my machine at home ... let me see if I can find it on here.
This may be it. If its not, I'll give you the one on my home machine.

aimwm.arm.cab (1.56 MB
i personaly have tried out every aim program out there for the ppc and they all have their shortcommings, since they are all trying to become all-in-one messengers most of the time the aim protocol gets gimpped and its not easy finding a cheap or even free alternative other than AOL 2.0 which is ages old. Ive been using Slick which is free and is updated often and considering its still fairly new it has TONS of features i havent seen before like it tells you when a buddy is typing and so on its pretty much as feature packed as aim 5 on the pc it has a few tiny bugs but you can ignore them, i believe 0.39 is the latest version. on a side note i hope they add themes, that purple look clashes with all my wm6 themes lol
good aim!

anyone got the proxy settings for this? im on a tmobile wing with tzones
thanks!
T-zones on a Wing?
With my understanding, recently T-Mobile made some changes to the availability of the full internet to those with tzones, Blackberry, or the Sidekick data (which was my case) plans on their accounts. Why would they let you pay 6 bucks a month for full internet access when you're supposed to pay 20? Sorry man, you gotta upgrade if you want to connect to AIM, or just about any other data program (or instant messaging program that doesn't have a text backend, ie: OZ IM that comes on the Wing and almost every other T-Mobile phone).
Trust me, i wish it was easier on me, too, cause i use a Sidekick 3 with my account too, and i have to have BOTH Sidekick ($20) and T-Mobile TotalInternet ($19.99 now, originally $29.99) plans on my account since i use both. But then again, i would need the unlimited txt/mms bundle ($14.99) if i was using just the Wing, whereas it's included in the Sidekick plan for $5 extra. The $20 a month really isn't bad when you compare it to such things as the iPhone plans, which aren't really able to be broken into separate billing options, like the myfaves bundles, messaging bundles, and data bundles.
Oh and remember, with that T-Mobile TotalInternet package, you get unlimited HotSpot access. If you use it, or have a laptop you may want to use it with. Personally, the nearest HotSpot for me is 25+ miles away at the nearest Starbucks, but it's worth it if you travel at all. Some hotels have T-Mo HotSpots.
End rant.
Sorry just figured i'd give you a look into why you can't use tzones with the Wing... and why it's a pretty good value in the end.

yea, just go to "connections" on your wing under "settings", click "manage existing connections"...there you should see tmobile data, click "proxy settings" at the bottom right.....make sure your both boxes are checked and under "proxy server" type "216.155.165.60" then click on "advanced"...make sure your "http" and "socks" are both set to..."216.155.165.50:8080" and your set! here are sum screen shots...im on Open Touch v4.0 Biggy Vista 2....
Can anyone still post the OZ cab? sometimes in areas where the data connection is dicey i cant connect to my aim programs (have a few of them, like slick and octrotalk and AOL aim ) so it would be nice to have oz that uses SMS to fall back on

Ok, so since T-Mobile and Cingular (here in America) want to ban the use of AIM 2.0 on the Pocket PC, and instead, use their service (which charges 10cents an IM), I was wondering if anyone has worked on a hack to fix this.
Basically, both companies have done something to the software, in which when AIM is installed, it will not allow you to sign on. Please note... I am NOT looking for a replacement suggestion for AIM, I am looking for the AIM program itself. There has to be SOME sort of way around this tweak, and I am truly hoping one of the many genius minds that browse this forum would be so kind enough as to help.
do you some sort of error or it just doesnt send
have you tried agile..? it has all the instant messengers
Hello!
This is what I use, and I don't seem to get 10 cents a IM.
Just unzip the cab and transfer it to your device and install!
*Edit* I am in the USA also, just so ya'know.
Agile messenger would be your best bet.
It acts a service and send text messages to your phone instead of the actually message. Just as long as you have a text plan you should be fine.
I prefer Verichat to Agile. The only draw for Agile right now is that it's free, but it's beta. The beta version of Agile likes to crash a lot. Verichat is on th expensive side, but I think it's worth it.
Go here, aol.co.uk and download the aim version for mobile. It's free as compared to installing the EXACT SAME VERSION from the U.S. aol.com which they want $19.99 for. The installer has capabilities for installing on a wide range of pocket pc's, as well as ones with MIPS and ARM processors.
The link once again is aol.co.uk
Good luck!
They charge $20 for that chunk of crap?!? That thing barely functioned under 2003 3 years ago. :lol:

I was under that impression also. Then I read around on the internet and people were saying that it does indeed act as a gateway to thier servers and sens txt messages back and forth.
Now after your reply and I checked to make sure, I'm finding both answers...So I'm not sure anymore.

Is the start bar inverted to get it to work here?
Because I remember trying aim before and the thing wouldn't work right but the start bar wasn't on the bottom like this one.
Is it hacked or something?
Very nice though. Thanks!

My son and I both use Agile on our 8125's with a data plan. Agile useage goes against the kb/data, NOT the text messaging. You have to be connected to the internet to use Agile -- either through WiFi or GPRS.
We've NEVER been charged for text messaging using Agile.
Great! I can cancle my text message plan.

There is but it won't work on WM5...
Unless some one can hack it like that above AIM program to move the WM5 start bar to the bottom when the program is active.
Let me break it down for you gentlemen...
Basically what's been happening (here in the east coast of the US at least) is Pocket PC phones have been becoming increasingly more powerful. Obviously, T-Mobile and Cingular are no dummies to waves, so they started to release some of their own. But in an attempt to garner more money, they've been releasing their own versions of AIM, which basically charge the user a text per message (sent or received). In addition, they basically disabled the old AIM 2.0, which was (and still is) highly popular amongst Pocket PCs that aren't branded, or simply don't have a phone equipped in them.
That button on the button that says "Sign On"? It's not there anymore. Neither is the File or Edit menus. There's something embedded in the registry that doesn't allow the usesr to use this version of AIM... which is why I created this topic to begin with.
Now as I stated originally, I wasn't looking for alternatives to AIM 2.0 on the Pocket PC... I like this version a lot. Back when I was using my unbranded i-mate Jam, I suppose I've gotten inclined to using this version more. I've tried Agile Mobile, but it is still way too buggy for me to want to use as my end-all be-all to AIM. And it's missing a lot of features I've grown used to with AIM 2.0. Other IM clients cost money for something I think should be freely distributed.
To anyone using an i-mate K-Jam, or a QTek 9100... this post simply doesn't apply to you. You picked up your phone unbranded, meaning you have no restrictions from your carrier. And I envy you because of that. But since I'm cheap and I'm getting my Cingular 8125 for $50, I'm trying to figure out some workaround to the situation. Hopefully someone can figure out a hack soon.
MightyMegit ... how certain are you that the program you posted doesn't use texts? Does it use data? I don't have a Wizard yet (hopefully within the next 24 hours), so I'm not able to test it out myself.
Anyway, thanks guys for your help, but I really want my AIM 2.0 back. I wish all you developers luck!!!
thanks for the clarification. i started using the aim 2.0 yesterday.
No wonder i noticed to menus or sign on options. What i do i select "stock quotes" or w.e and that signs me on.
It looks just like aim on pc and has aim sounds so i like the look of it. There just isnt options
Hey all,
I have been using Agile Messenger since june or so..so far I have downloaded "new version" of the app into my phone twice. The last one is really cool and I have been using it for about two weeks w/o any probs, but when I turned the app on yestreday, it displayed message "Thanks for trying this trial version, you have 7 days left". Is Agile Messenger not free anymore? And if it's not, do you think I could continue using one of the older versions? Thx for any suggestions Longlife
Having the same problem, the subscription fee is pretty high.
Don't know about the old versions...
Eelco
I think I have the old version of Agile. If you guys want, you can try it and let us know if it will work or if we actually have to pay after the trial period.
its not problem its normal agile done same thing with symbian version now they will ask you to pay for windows mobile version. it is undestandable because with agile u use their server but anyway i belive messenger live will be here soon and it will be better than agile, so no need to pay for agile
The old version I had stopped working
I had the old version and had been using that. I started getting messages when I would start it up that a new version was available. I kept saying "no" but eventually after saying that it came back and said I needed to upgrade to the new version if I wanted to continue to use Agile. That's when I finally upgraded, but then when I got the "You have 7 days left" message and looked closer to find that the new version had a monthly charge, I went ahead and removed it from my Universal.
I can somewhat understand them charging for it, and would have been willing to pay a one time purchase fee, or MAYBE a smaller monthly fee, but the rates I saw looked high for just one app. No thanks.

Too bad Thx eveyrone for your answers though I agree that the fees for using Agile are way too high, if it was like 20 USD for the app with all the future upgrades, I would probably buy it but this way... Anyway, just one more question: which free messenger capable of connecting to ICQ would you recommend instead of Agile plz?
No response from Agile
I wrote them a message via the address at the agile website asking if there would be any way to buy the software outright. It has been over a week and there has been no response. I really like the software. I would be willing to pay for it, but I do not like software subscriptions.
I am more bothered by the lack of response to my message though. It shows me that there will be no customer support for a program that they will continue to collect money for.
does the latest version look better on VGA? Still haven't updated my version... They shouldn't charge if it doesn't work well on our devices. I have no problem buyin it as long as it displays properly [I sent agile an email asking about VGA support but did not get a response *no surprises there*]
Good bye Agile
Been using Agile on my Symbian Nokias since 4 years and the same thing happened 2 years ago. Suddenly they asked for monthly subscription of 3 € via SMS or 19 € forever, but locked to the SIM card, I have 4 of them in different countries of Europe so I wrote to them then and they replied like they would let me on all for SIMs but I gave up Nokia as well as Agile on it.
Now I see that they have came up with something even crazier like monthly, HIGH, subscription, charging for the service rather then the software itself!?!
I am sorry, I like Agile very much, but I will never agree to the terms they are asking... and I think that their PPC version is far from ready...
Good bye Agile...
Ok, I tried to find a freeware alternative to Agile Messenger..and guess what? I found one. It's by ICQ.com and it's pretty cool, I didn't fully explore it yet but it seems to offer most of the latest Agile's features. You can download it from here:

I'm sorry, as I only use ICQ, I forgot to mention that this app only supports ICQ, not AIM, Yahoo, MSN or anything else..which is a considerable disadvantage compared to Agile as I now see.
About the CAB file - I don't have it and I didn't manage to find it anywhere, but maybe you will
Aynway, I played with the application a bit and discovered that it:
- doesn't support landscape mode (which is pretty sad)
- supports Invisible, Occupied, DND, N/A and Away statuses (without entering custom status messages though)
- works with groups
- allows you to change your account details
- doesn't let you close conversation windows (at least I didn't find a way to do so..but it's pretty weird I'd say )
- has a cool but probably not so useful feature that downloads latest stock-exchange rates
- has VERY ugly smileys (IMO)
But depsite it's several disadvantages, I'd say it still remains a nice (and free) way to chat with your ICQ contacts on the go.
Oh and btw, if you want an all-in-one IM client and are willing to pay, check this: http://mobile.lockergnome.com/product.asp?id=248
It looks pretty good and you can get it for 40 USD for ever, not like with Agile where you have to pay 30 USD every year. It's still too expensive for me though
I've tried Shape IM+ as well it seems nice but my provider has blocked it! Can't connect using 3G/UMTS/GPRS works fine with WiFi and Activesync passthru. Oh I only use the Yahoo component.
thanks for post up the info
new PPC-based freeware ICQ client on the scene!
Ok, so here's another update on the topic
A few days ago, I discovered that QIP (russian closed-source freeware ICQ client; www.qip.ru) had released a PPC version of their program. I have downloaded it straight away and I must say that it's by far the best ICQ client for the PocketPC platform..well..that's just my opinion but I'm pretty sure most people will agree once they try it out It supports most of the PC-based-QIP's functions including various statuses (incl. invisible, invisible for all, custom statuses with pictures and others), several sets of smileys (standard, animated, text), complete contact information etc. etc. Be sure to check it out on www.qip.ru

I have downloaded and Installed AIM 2.0. Is the messaging on it free? Like will I bet charged $.10 a message for a message on Cingular?
You're using either WLAN or GPRS for connecting to the AOL service, therefore standard GPRS charges may apply ...
based of of what he just said, then no. It just costs what it cost you to go on the internet regularly.
Well damn. I wanna use Agile, but I've already used all my 7-days trial on it and i dont wanna buy it :\

You didn't even read my 1st post? Lol.
The bad site on AIM 2.0 ... it is AOL only and has too much other junk!
Also:
AIM 2.0 from the US site is commercial - if you download it from the UK site it will be free of charge!
I did love the AGILE MESSENGER but this overpriced stuff now ... - ... no thanks! That killed my interest! IM+ is not running properly: I can send in a chat but I can't receive anything, so, this one just does not look save to me! Running several IM clients on my WIZ is not really comfortable and needs lots more recources too. The ICQ messenger won't connect! Even though I entered user name and password correctly it keeps telling me that there is a USER NAME / PASSWORD missmatch, so, to hell with this one too ... )
In the mean time:
I am sitting and waiting until something as good as AGILE MOBILE MESSENGER will appear on the market for a lower reasonable price ... and I wish everybody would avoid that overpriced product!
Yes. I loved agile also. If I was as good at programming as I am with the knowledge of computers, I would make myself an IM client that would be based kinda like gtalk or something. No adds, or anything.
But anyway, I was checking Cingular for their Text Messaging plans, and I found unlimited everything, text/picture/video to anyone for $19.99 so I purchased that and I don't think AIM 2.0 will be a problem anymore ha
Hmmm,
19.99 a month? For that money you would have paid for the AGILE MESSENGER within 2 and a half months, LOL. <just kidding>
I need help with aim 2.0...I dled it...and installed it and at first it was working fine...then I soft reset...and now I fo 2 it...and it has my sn already there...so I go 2 buddy list...and online is gray and I can't get that tab up but...list set up is on and I can access that...so how do I get online?...I guess that's the problem...

does aim 2.0 have an away ability?...were u can put a custom away? if so please let me kno
My operator (Orange UK) has decided not to include live messenger in their ROM. Is that something I can install easily afterward? How would I go about doing this? Do I need to app unlock the phone first? I don't have much experience in installing apps on WM6 so any help appreciated.
Thanks
Hey, i work for Orange and have a touch dual also. Im pretty disapointed that the 'Windows Live' services are missing from the dual, but are present on the Touch.
I was referred by a colleague in the web support call centre that he downloaded the file from a link on this site. (Thats why im here) He found it in the TyTn II forum, but the file is compatible on any Mobile 6 platform... if i find it, i shall post the link for you (if its allowed)
hey, thanks for that. It is a bit of a shame how they removed it from this phone.
As you work for orange, do you know if they are planning to introduce any data tariffs like web n walk? I wouldn't mind paying a tenner extra a month if I could get 1GB of data anytime..

Hey! No worries.. im having problems wading through 178 tyTn II pages... the search feature is utterly useless.
Orange has something called 'Anytime internet' on PAYM. Its £8 per month, and inclused 30MB iirc. When it first launced (back in August) it was unlimited usage upto 1GB.
The Wireless Data Card for Laptops tariffs have just been updated to compete with 3's cheap plans, but i hope the new data plans for handsets happens soon.
Although, i get mine all free
I'm on the £8 a month tarriff, but to be honest 30MB doesn't really cut it compared to Tmobile and 3's tariffs.
Would you mind keeping us posted of when you think these tariffs might be upgraded for handsets? You're lucky you get all yours for free!
Now back to MSN Messenger - i've got a feeling we may not be able to install it even if we wanted to ask the phone might be 'app locked', and as far as I know no ones got a hack for that yet.. or I could be wrong..
I found the application on this forum, just tested it and it works on my Orange Touch Dual!
in1234, i will keep you posted.

Right! Iv'e done it!
1. Follow this link HERE and download the Windows Live file to your PC.
2. Connect your device using Active Sync. And use the 'Explore' feature on AC and navigate to you 'My Documents' folder.
3. Disconnect the device and navigate to your documents.
4. Double tap the Windows Live install program. Install the program to your device and its done.
I also added a few other programs from the above link, inc the stand alone Messenger
Go with Fring ! And forget MSN !

Raid.

also wanting messenger, anyone got a cab?
Hi eveyone, I just got my HTC Magic a couple of days ago and have been finding my feet with it since.
So far so good only I have an issue with sending pitures to another phone via bluetooth.
All past phones I have had for as long as I can remember this has been a fairly straight forward process but I'm getting nowhere with my magic.
I can pair with other phones but it says "paired but not connected". When I select the connect option nothing happens? And if I select the photo and select Menu -> Share bluetooth just isn't an option?
Anyone point my in the right direction please?

Android does not support any bluetooth services other then "hands free".
This means that you can only use BT headsets.
Android (either G1 or Magic) phones cannot natively send files over BT, cannot use BT a modem, etc...
There is not third party tool so far to send files via BT to other devices.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Wow , no big deal I guess, I'm just tight so used to send pictures via BT rather than MMS. Perhaps one of you clever "app maker people" will see the hole in the market.
I'm missing this functionality too
Since you have the entire internet in your hand, I can't really see this being an important feature I'd much rather just publish the photo on Facebook, mail it or something (and if the other device is primitive and the picture necessarily has to be transferred, use MMS^^).
Isn't Google gonna release an update for the HTC magic U.K to have this feature???

It's not just about pictures, two days before I got my Magic I was on a business trip in Portugal, we had a long boring flight home so a colleague asked me to download his favourite Podcast via the hotel WiFi and Bluetooth it over to his phone for the flight (his roaming charges would have cost a fortune). I did that fine with my phone at the time but couldn't do it now with the Magic.
I have also used my phone as a sort of USB storage device, quickly putting files on it from my laptop and walking to another laptop on a separate (and non-connected) network. BT is easier than faffing with USB ports or wires
Just my 0.02 GBP

I found it under Bluetooth Fileshare Bluex. I bought it this morning so it is there. Try searching for 'bluetooth' and check though the list that comes back - there's not that many.
This app works a treat the only thing missing is Bluetooth from a PC to the phone. Phone to phone and phone to PC work just as hoped for. Developers site here Worth a few rating stars in the market.
Does anyone know if this app could be developed for non-rooted phones?

I'm also in denmark. I need this app, a phone withouth bluetooth fileshare is so... iphone ie, ridiculus.
This omission is probably due to Google being a US based company and I have never even heard of anyone in this country transferring a file over bluetooth. It's either a nonexistent feature on our phones or just one of those things that nobody takes advantage of. In the US, bluetooth is synonymous with hands-free headsets and little else. If you ask ten people you might find one who has heard of A2DP, but that's about as complex as bluetooth gets around here.
Most people use the word bluetooth as a noun to describe hands-free headsets. "I'm driving so I'm calling you with my bluetooth!"

What an odd world we live in Transferring files via bluetooth is almost an everyday occurrence here and a modern phone without this function is extremely rare. Just glad it's on the mend.
