are there any free IM's for yahoo messager that will alert you when you get an instant message?
mmmmm Instant massages.
Did you try Fring?
I am using Palringo. It's free and does some nice things, can quickly capture and send a picture (url to it), send voice files.
It also supports Google Talk, Hotmail (i think?).
goto beejive.com and try jivetalk. its a little buggy alpha but still pretty good.
the best one is Agile. it does all the messaging services, it has been around a LONG time, no bugs, very trimmed down but supports video, voice, and it's free...here's a link: http://www.agilemobile.com/

i must have downloaded an already regg'ed CAB file then, cause ive used mine for over 2 months.
#10, thanks for the info on Slick. I've been using it for a few days and I like it.
Best of all, for me at least, it supports custom status messages and "Idle" time on Yahoo.
Thanks again, I didn't come across it when I was searching for IM clients.
Id use slick but it has problems with away messages and does not play nice with clients such as trillian or pidgin. People dont receive your messages at all. IM+ seems to be the best solution. I tried jivetalk it crashed too much. Palringo was okay but did not support tabbed ims . My only gripe with IM+ is the screen flashes as you hit enter during typing. Almost like flickering. Slick or the others didnt do that.
But IM+ feature wise is very good, and has a today plugin for listing new received ims.
IM+ .Parlingo. Both very good programs.

my one gripe with IM+ is that when the person you are talking to is using the "official" AIM client it will randomly lock up when they send you a messege
i love that i can do voice chat over agile. it rocks. glad i downloaded a free version on accident, lol. works like a charm.

I've been using slick 0.38. I can explain to you how to uninstall .42 and install .38(it involves a reg edit). PM me if you want, or someone reply here if there's enough interest and I'll write up a quick doc for it.
On a more serious note. I am using Fring. But memory consumption is a problem.
Does anybody out there know if there is a way for you to be offline, and shown in your buddies contact list but in away mode, and then when they send you a message maybe it pops up a message on their contact list saying that you are currently away but if they would like to page you that the program would call your phone with an sms message to jump online and log into your IM program?
Confused yet? Me too.

I have uninstalled Fring and am now using Palringo. Much happier. The memory footprint is way smaller. I like the threaded messages and the ability to send recorded voice messages and photos thru IM. I dont use Skype so Fring is just more program than I need.
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.
I tried searching this forum without having to create another thread but I was unsuccessful.
I have a new Tilt 2 on AT&T(previously a blackberry user) and I was trying to get google talk on here?
Can someone assist on how to get this app on here...if it is possible?
Thanks,
While neither of these apps are just Google Talk, they both work well with it. I have been using Slick for several months without any problems, and recently started using OZ IM. Both work great with gtalk.

You can set up a number of different IM clients to use Google Talk since it uses a standard protocol.

I have never had a problem - I just install the cab, and sign in to Google Talk using my gmail id and password.
I usually end up flashing a new ROM every few days, and have never had a problem installing & signing in.
What is the specific error you get?

that would be google voice.
You can use a couple different google voice dialers to pull your contact info from google voice, and you can send and reply to SMS messages through outlook. That's what I do

go to -> options & enter you phone number ; now try to sign in - that should do the trick. Doesn't matter where you are or who you carrier is. Also it is data based & you wont be charged for text.

well i know about dat part n alreazdy tried it, but there is error 403 stated on screen every time i want to log in in each account. i try to re-install n also tried to re flash the rom ( official sea rom ) but i didnt help T.T
well i like the interface of OZIM though, still trying to get it worked but i dunno how ..<
I know there is already a thread on stuck sending text message, ive only had that happen to me twice and both times they turned grey after a few minutes and said "failed" I just hit resend and it works fine.
My issue is that emails, 5 times now have got stuck on sending and never time out.
Is there anyway to fix this quickly? The only thing I have got to work is unsyncing my account that I was sending it from and then resyncing it.
every time this has happened i was sending multiple files, and had an intermittent 3g connection.
If this is the same issue as the other thread feel free to move this post into that thread.

Excellent question, I have had this happen to me as well. Here is what I did to (I think) fix it:
Uninstall/delete the Gmail.apk from /system/app using Root Explorer or ADB. Next I pushed the stock Gmail.apk from a zip I had lying around and rebooted. Once the app is reinstalled I went to the market and updated it to the newest version, which ended up fixing the problem. I hope this helps, I know your pain

well i just updated gmail, i wish i hadnt deleted the sending email so i could see if it fixed it.
but i did try to send a couple more emails before updating and none of them would send. .. now they send fine.
before it would just happen randomly, so lets hope it was just a bug in the old gmail app.

Eh most likely it would have stopped them from sending anyway while it updated. Glad that fixed the problem, if the issue arises again feel free to post again in this thread.

cmon toppy nursey, do you really think, that you got people in here restarting their phone, deleting storage, deleting syncs... etc and nobody tried to exit gmail and wait a few seconds...
Going into airplane mode was also one of the first things I tried it didnt help at all.
Well I can confirm that the problem still happens with the latest gmail. even if you can delete the email thats stuck sending... if you try to send another one it will get stuck as well. the quickest solution works for me is clear data and clear cache of the gmail app. If it happens again Im going to try to just clear cache and see if that works.
I will update this thread in the future if I find any more information out.

Actually when I first noticed the problem I read a lot around here and people were coming up with all sorts of complex solutions. I tried those as well, but often the simple solution is usually the most elegant. Instead of focusing in on the problem it is better to understand exactly what is going on that causes what you are seeing.
Yes, the simple solution is to just exit out of gmail and wait for gmail to execute its programming and send out your email. Constantly "checking" just exacerbates the problem.
Sent from Bonsai 7.0.3
This isn't a Gmail specific problem. It happens with Yahoo Mail and the stock email app that came with the Epic. I switched to Gmail to avoid this problem but it did not help. I also will have outgoing email send multiple times which us extremely annoying. This happens on 3g and wifi, so its not a connectivity issue.

Can you please elaborate on "understanding what exactly is going on" all you said was its executing programming.. to me it seems like its not doing anything, or its stuck in a loop.
Ive had emails stuck "sending..." for 48 hours before... so if waiting is the solution, I cant wait 2+ days to send an email.
I really hope you can explain whats happening, Im interested and it sounds like you know what you are talking about at a coding level.
clearing data in gmail and clearing data in google frameworks did it for me when I have sending problems.
Truth!

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but had to have some leg surgery to keep some slow flesh eating bacteria at bay. I'm not a coder or even a programmer. What I do seem to do very well is looking at complex problems and coming up with simple solutions. You might consider me to be a systems analyst (aka a RN) so to speak.
Since we live in a logical world things happen for a reason. In the case of computers we can assume that every result is brought upon us by the action or inaction of a program. Thus the simple solution for this problem is to forget about it and check back with Gmail when we next need to use the app. It's not a fix per se, but an analysis of what is going on. Works every time for me.

Clearing data "cache" and force stopping works every time for me
So lately ive been having rather annoying issues while texting. To start im on T-Mobile. So ill be texting all day and then my texts will start to hang on the sending, little circle spinning forever, and then ill get a not sent error. However the text would have been sent so imagine how annoying texting me must be when im spamming the retry and its actually sending when it says it isn't. So I started cycling Airplane mode on and off and then I noticed something strange. After waiting close to a minute ill cycle airplane mode, magically the text is sent and a reply will load.
After that happened since im heavily using FB messenger anyways I made that the default app and I never had an issue minus one time. Im now using android messenger but I liked the stock app. SOOOOO the question is, has anyone else had this? is there a way to clear out and default out the stock app? I cant uninstall it it seems either.
anyone?
I'm on T-Mobile but waiting on my S8 to arrive so cant check.
I would imagine that it might be an RCS issue if you're texting other T-Mobile users on Samsung phones. If you're not and it does it regardless of who you text. I would try clearing the data/cache from the Messenger app.
I saw a somewhat similar issue when I had an HTC phone and used Googles basic Messenger app. It would frequently say a message wasn't sent. Yet the HTC app showed it as sent. I would hit resend and they would get spammed. Eventually I ignored it saying it failed.
If you tried other sms apps and it still does it then it's somewhere else on the phone. Maybe a glitch that might be fixed with a reflash. Or if it's in the network it self then Tmobile would have to make sure your Imei is being reported properly to their systems.
