AIM for Windows Mobile.

Who's tried this? I think it just became available recently. A friend of mine told me about it and he liked it, so he told me. Cause we're both trying to find an instant messenger program that works good for AIM.
Here..
http://beta.aol.com/projects.php?project=aimwinmobile&loc=2

I think it f'ed up my phone. I uninstalled it and now the phone crashes every 20 minutes and needs a hard reboot. The app was cool though

I don't see how it can **** your phone up, lol. But yeah, it's probably the best AIM app i've used so far.

is it better than JiveTalk? because that is the best one i've used, i haven't tried this new AIM one though

Yes, I think so. I used JiveTalk too. Just before I tried this new AIM.

it seems really slow to me. and my buddies aren't alphabetical. i guess i'll stay with JiveTalk.

What? Your buddies appear in the order you add them in. That's how AIM is.

i know it is. i haven't used AIM in years, the ads, spyware, near impossible uninstalls have left me using 3rd party clients. every single 3rd party client i have used organizes your buddies alphabetically. AIM still lacks this feature. i love it, i know where all my friends are and where to find them no matter who is online.
and i don't know how exactly AIM work, on my phone it had my friend that i added in december listed first, over people i've had on there for years. i personally think it is just random, or is in order by signup date.

actually, if you right click on a buddy group, you can organize groups alphebetically

when did they add that? i've been trying to do that for years and never found an option.

hi
well i havent tried the AIM beta version.But I did run into this, PALRINGO,vocal IM for mobile phones...Has anyone used this. It says its also free, is it, because i dont have no text plan nor internet plan, the only thing thats connecting me to the internet is thru WiFi
TIA

palringo is good. uses data, unless you connect to wifi before running the program.
i prefer jivetalk over palringo, but palringo allows you to send pictures.

Palringo isn't bad. It disconnects ALOT though, which I hate. That was the MAIN reason I stopped using it. Other than that, there's really nothing wrong with it. I liked Jivetalk better than that though.

always connected program
so is there any program to stay connected to your wifi all day long???because i hate when my phone goes on standby the wifi turns off with it. I know it takes up battery but it will be okie... i want to stay logged into my parlingo acount all the time!

adding to my comment above.. Is there a IM program that can have an 'always on presence'???thanks guys!

I have used slick by Lonely Cat Games
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick
It works great with maybe an error here or there. I did have issues using it with a UI program.. I think it was UL

beta 3 is out

Try Jive talk or Palringo. work well.

Leo Impressions

Hi Guys, just thought id post my thoughts on the Leo.
Ive been using mine now for over 2 weeks having come from an N95(and several failed attempts at finding something I liked inbetween including various iphones, N97 etc etc) so to the thoughts.,
The screen for me was a bit tricky as many have said before, I have huge hands, but decided to persevere.
Has to be said that after about a 10 day period typing messages etc became much easier, after 2 weeks it was brilliant, but then came the eureka moment, which it has to be said was'nt good for me, but telling all the same.
After flashing the ROM, the typing experience became similar to a fair proportion of others on here, infuriating!
Now thinking logicly about it, I decided it couldn't be the screen as was fine before, only thing changed was the ROM, so was software, tried a screen align, hmmm, worse still, did it again, slightly better, but still no cigar, went and checked settings and set to how id had it before, no vibrate(seems to fubar typing), keyboard click on, screen click on, correct as you type on, complete words in both XT9 and ABC both on and did screen align again, now zoila, its better than before(after another screen align) no more false inputs although xt9 has to learn my vocab again(annoying) but it really is a revelation.
Now the only thing annoying me is the long sms list issue (although partialy sorted by selecting all messages and going in through WM)
Can I just add, absolutely epic site guys and thanks to all those that spend there own time making the WM experience better for all!!

Noooo! you've got it all wrong. You're supposed to try typing for 5 minutes, throw your toys out the pram and go buy an iPhone.. *then* come on to xda developers and post a nice long rant about how poor the entire phone / windows mobile is (bonus points for expletives and spelling mistakes).
Fixing problems in an intelligent, logical manner? whatever next?!

I just got my HTC HD2 from Royal Mail. Everything seems to be working flawlessly. The screen is just gorgeous and the navigation is really smooth and snappy. The videos online really do not do it justice.
I've just got a few of questions. I heard that Opera does not support flash, is this true? and will this change in the future?
I tried using IE to open youtube but it doesn't seem to play anything. It has the flash 9 logo and that's it. How do I play videos via the web browser?
Also, when I open up IE it says that it connects using my data plan and I may get charged. Does it not work over WiFi?
I'm just uploading files onto it right now but yes, this device has had my jaw on the floor since I opened the packaging. By far the best phone I have ever owned.

Opera doesn't support flash.
Use the You Tube app already on your handset, it works perfectly.
For playing videos within your browser, download the Skyfire browser for free. I don't like the interface and therefore only use it when I have to but it supports flash and you can play videos and surf for porn on it lol.

gamma500. looks like you still need to find the return key (aka as enter key) as this is the only thing missing in your message. Or did you type it on a PC keyboard, and is the return key (aka as enter key) broken?

I don't have the youtube app, where can I find it? I got my phone from T-Mobile UK if that helps. And I thought IE did support flash?

Opera doesn't support flash and IE only has 'flashlite' which isn't suitable for playing video. You will need to download Skyfire but the You Tube app will be in your start menu - press the icon at the top left of the screen or the windows button in the middle at the bottom - then scroll through the icons.

I don't have it pre-installed, is there somewhere I can get it? It's wierd that they didn't include it. Is anybody here on T-Mobile UK who has it pre-installed?

Dont have a HD2 ...yet! But from what I have read Youtube is not included on the T-Mobile handset.

Thanks Christonabike, personally don't see the merit in ranting, seldom effective in sorting issues and htc-hd2, in an effort to be cloggy friendly have inserted a few returns just for you!

Fantastic! Disabling the vibrate response was one of the best things I could do! I can actually type for long periods of time with little errors and the XT9 and ABC is working great now, I didn't realise it could learn... so have been typing in all of my Northern Irish phrases that we use over here!
I'm happy once again, I'm really starting to love this phone; was a bit doubtful at the start and was thinking my N95 8gb looked like a good option to go back to but my faith is growing in this device by the day!
Once again to OP, thanks!

It Just gets better with time Rossimac, which only became apparent after having flashed the ROM and thereby losing two weeks of it.

Google Buzz

Anyone got buzz.google.com working on the Nexus One? I always get the desktop view when I go to that site.
and I have Cyanogen 5.0Beta4. I seem to lost the ability to use mobile websites like espn, instead i get the full desktop version.
Thanks

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.

You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!

Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?

I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.

update google maps in the market

Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?

heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol

I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

After a few tries I got to post a buzz both from the page in the browser, and from google maps.
But, now I can't delete the two posts...
Lots of spinning wheels. Seems unfinished.
But I like the idea. Hope it will work better in the coming days

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess

Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.

I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?

The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?
Anyway I'll wait and see how it goes.

Skyfire 2.0 for Andorid is out!!

get.skyfire.com/dl_android.php
I can't get/find it on the market (in UK) and the apk download link on their site does not work.
Anyone manage to download it, can you please post the apk on here.

tried buddy not working when you go to the market or website it doesn't bring up nothing. They must have pulled it.

tried hard but not getting it in Germany also
even the download page is not working on my computer also
they have put up a barcode also

I'm going to hope this was an indication of it coming later today or tomorrow.. Windows Mobile people seem to really enjoy this browser, and Im hoping it can be enjoyed all the same on Android.

Anyone in the US tried getting it from the market?

Skyfire was the best browser for WM. It had flash before flash even came to windows mobile. I'm in the US and couldn't find Skyfire in the market.

That's because of the abomination that is the stock browser on winmo.

Again, i am from new york and i tried its not up on their servers.

Skyfire is the ****! Full flash support on my old wm phone with skyfire. Im sure it will have full flash support just like the wm version. Cant wait to test this out.
Edit: It does support flash
Supports Flash web video with patent-pending adaptive streaming technology for smooth playback
Pinch to zoom (on Android 2.0 and above)
Multi-tab browsing - open up to eight windows and browse simultaneously using visual tabs
Choose to load full desktop webpages or mobile optimized versions
Clear session history easily upon exit to maintain anonymous browsing

well it kinda does, according to the video the new skybar feature allows you to view vids on a great number of sites, the one they mentioned in the vid was espn.com.
Still very promising and looks great! Hope their download server will be able to handle everyong trying to grab the file at once as word is spreading about the page being up.

It supports Flash video, as they seem to wont say "Flash" without saying "video" after it. I'm hoping though I'm not just thinking too critically, full blown Flash would be nice.

I don't know how reputable it is, but midsofts dot com has some links for skyfire up. The site seems a little shady to me.

skyfire has replied asking to check back in an hour and they are in process of building latest version

Installed ok and testing now.

Google Music beta - Outside US access :D

Hey Guys
Woke up this morning to an email from Google saying my invite for Google Music beta has been accepted! In the process of uploading all my tracks now..
Thing is... I'm in New Zealand. I did request an invite with a proxy browser but I never expected to actually get an invite as it's currently closed to US only right?
Unless they've broadened their reach in response to iCloud, otherwise the proxy was all I needed...
I should note that I have a Google voice account by the same means (proxy browser), maybe that helped trick them.
Either way I thought I'd post to see if anyone else has gotten access besides our American ...friends.
So far it works great, but all my album art is the same image, and it's taking a very long time to upload, also the upload program has skipped 4000 songs due to an error.....
And what happens if I change the filename or meta data of a song, does it upload it again as another song? I'd also really love the ability to delete a song from my harddrive if I delete it from the cloud, as I have a lot of music that I haven't yet decided if its worthy to keep or not.
This is really great because I have unlimited 3G access with my employee plan @ vodafone

I got the invite too this morning and I have access to google music without a proxy. I'm in Romania. Still, because of this, I can't download the music app from the market.

Try this m8...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.notenking.mf

Or rather this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler

I got mine last night too. But I am beginning to question how much I'll use it as I don't have an unlimited download plan...oh well, it's always nice to have

I did the same thing from the UK, got an invite a few days ago, have uploaded some music but not quite sure yet on their policy of making sure it's all legally acquired....
Streaming seems to work well though
The client works fine in linux using wine 1.3.

Gosh...... after uploading 400 songs I realised they all had the same lame album art image because of a stupid JPG in a root folder.... I've now spent the better half of my day off trying to get album art for all my songs @[email protected]". Discovered the hard way it's best to just put all ur music into album folders and update with WMP...

I got one too. And I am from China.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Just to clarify, you guys all used a proxy server to do this, right? I'm going to try this at home tonight. I don't know how to set up a proxy/VPN so if someone can kindly post a link to a very simple instruction it would be great. Otherwise I can do a Google Search I guess. Thanks!
And I'm from Canada. Yesterday the new Music app update shows up on the Android Market. I didn't use market enabler or anything. It just showed up. I updated and this new music app replaced the stock one.

Just requested an invitation via VPN, hope I get it

How long it take to response after the request send? I requested 2 weeks ago, but no response from google yet. i m from Malaysia, i used proxy to request.

I requested about 2 weeks ago using hidemyass and haven't heard anything either, so you're not alone.
According to Paul @ MoDaCo you can speed things up by editing your build.prop so it looks like you're using a 3.0.1 Xoom.

I used the HideMyAss extension to the Chrome browser (probably also available for FF) to request an invite. I'm based in Ireland and got an invite after a couple of weeks after signing up. Started uploading my 5000+ songs yesterday and so far about 650 are done. The upload speed on my internet connection is rather slow.

Hidemyass.com worked for me I think, if that fails and you need software I recommend Hotspot shield.
Here's my blog for initial experience, if you're wanting to make sure your music collection is tidy before committing it to the Cloud, check out http://jamesyb0i.blogspot.com/2011/06/album-where-art-thou.html

Thanks! I also came across hidemyass.com after some Googling but wasn't sure how reliable it is. Since a couple of you have tried it, I think it should be safe

Doesn't really matter how reliable it is, just that it thinks you're in the US

I got the invitation several days ago. I only use proxy to request the invitation. After I agreed the term and conditions, I can access my music account without any proxy.

no I mean, logging in with my username and password through a proxy. Is it possible for the proxy to eavesdrop? But either way, I used it to request an invite
