tmobile wing and aim..... its really frustrating..can anyone recommend....

a good aim client to use?
i recently moved from the sk3 to the wing and the aim on the wing sucks.. it lags like hell.. i send an "im" and it takes sometimes up to 2 min. for someone to answer me. on the sk3 its instantaneous. is there any aim client that will work faster and allow for me to leave my own away message?
i use the program that came with the wing and it doesnt let me leave custom away messages/..
thx for readin..

IM+
AIM 2.0
Agile Messenger
i use IM+ mostly but it's not free
Hacked AIM 2.0 is free and lets you use custom away's and you can even view people's profiles!

where can i get those programs at?

google them.

There really isn't any great ones out there. I have used OZ Client that comes on the phone and all 3 mentioned, (AIM 2.0 I couldn't even get to work right on the Wing, it's to outdated I guess) Honestly after trying all of these I went back to the OZ Client. Possibly when Trillian Astra is released the anywhere chat will work on PDA's but we shall see.

for some reason with a 6800 and multiple roms dcd clean 2.09 and 2.16 i can im anyone on a computer but if i im a mobile client that uses sms i cannot see theri reply just the time stamp this is with the modified and original aim 2.0 not sure if it applies to data clients from cells because had issue with someone on a blackberry pearl as well

i've been using imov software as my im. it's internet based, instant, and u can log into msn, yahoo, aol, and icq at the same time. it's got a free version with ads, but it's been pretty good. it's a straight im though, no bells and whistles like voice, photo, etc. like some of the other apps. it's free so why not? imov Messenger
oh one more thing, u get offline messages also the next time u log in
update: i found the new version 2.27 and made the zip available. for some reason handango isn't working and softpedia gives u ver. 2.25 although it states it's 2.27

check out www.palringo.com
it's free and you can set up AIM, MSN, YIM, ICQ, Gtalk
That's what I use and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

the aim 2.0 client is soo gay sometimes because you cannot configure the enter button to be a send button, so everytime you finish typing you would have to physically tap the screen in order to send your message

aim 2.0
actually under preferences you can uncheck the enter key acts as return and it will now send when u press enter

It uses your data plan or wifi (although I've had a bit of trouble trying to connect via WiFi)
I'll have to agree with Duprade.
For me this is the best free IM software out there. Its quick, not easily disconnected, uses data and voice IM works great.

sorry double post

I really think this program is good even thou it doesnt use any smily faces or anythin like that ...But its really fast and works perfectly on my wing

How do you get this to work for YIM?

i personally bought the IM+ and was worth every cent, i do have the aim 2.0 hack on my phone for use with a second screenname
and you can make your own away msgs with IM+ also
status manager under each program - make your own in there

Palringo is nice and yes free, but you get what you pay for. to go back the contact list or another conversation you must close the active conversation and then when you return everything typed is gone. it does stay connected better than IM+ but not much.
IM+ is grossly over priced and full of bugs. Not to mentiont he fact that it is the only IM program that will NOT work with touch it rom.
AIM 2.0 just plain sucks but again you get what you pay for.
I will stick with palringo just because it actually connects and stays connected better than IM+ but losing conversations just to switch between conversations or go back the contact list just plain sucks

Finally found a decent MSN Client!

Hello! I found an MSN client (also does AIM, Yahoo, etc.) it works nicely and actually CONNECTS!
I've been using it for the past few days and have noticed that like most MSN clients this one disconnects when the phone goes into sleep. Not sure why. (My Sidekick LX never disconnected from MSN. NEVER.) But at least it stays connected when you're using the app, unlike Hi MSN, and it doesn't get all slow when you scroll your contacts like Meebo does.
It can be found at www.mundu.com
It's got a 15 day trial period and I believe its $11 USD to buy a life time usage.
There's a pretty intense set of features. Give it a try, maybe you'll like it.

Trying it right now, looks promising. Is there any way to minimize groups? I don't want to see all the members in some groups.

maybe I should've kept this a secret. When I went to load up my list I only could see my blocked contacts. I disconnected then re-connected, still only blocked conta... oh, wait... there are my contacts!
ODD. I guess this isn't perfect. I still have a week and a bit on my trial, so we'll see how it goes.
As for collapsing groups... i don't think you can. I just set mine to show only online contacts.

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.

Recomendations for Best IM client?

Hi, first, before anyone jumps on me for not searching existing threads, I did but found that there were a bunch of old and possibly outdated ones as well as many which only talked about one client.
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a multi-protocol IM client for the Touch 2 or if any of them stand out as being clearly superior to others.
I'd like an IM client that offers always-on support for major networks (AIM, Yahoo IM, Windows Live, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber etc), is not buggy, has good features and so on. If it can do other things like send files or even start an audio or video chat, that would be great, but is not necessarily that important.
I'd be more than willing to pay for it if a payware client stands out as being supperior to the freeware clients out there.
The ones I'm aware of are:
Mundu - I've tried it, it's okay. It's payware, but seems to work descently, although it gives a lot of alert messages I don't want, like every time it gets disconnected. I wish it would just reconnect on its own and not bother me about it.
IM+ (haven't tried it)
Octrotalk
Nimbuzz
Agile Messenger
BeeJive
Palringo
fring
talkanaut
Fring
Slick
Webmessenger
Any recommendations? Are any of these stand-outs?

Since I'm not anal like others, I'll answer ya. I use Palringo, works perfectly on the Tilt 2. Nimbuzz is okay, I just like Palringo better personally.

Palringo rocks but Fring is nice with the VoIP/Skype integration.

iPhone-ish sms app
has anyone seen an SMS app that has a similiar UI/functionality to the one that's on the iPhone?

Hey brotha, My choice of IM client for the TP2 would be Palringo. Its pretty sweet and I love that you can send pictures through there aswell. Anyways PEACE BROTHA!

I 2nd Palringo... I"m sure once 2.5 comes out for Win mobile it'll be even sweeter.

Bejieve and Live messenger are quite ok for me

BeeJive gets my vote its very quick, I find others to be very slow

+1 for Palringo

I've tried a few of these and their all pretty good, but my biggest worry is that the ones I've tried are hosted by some unknown company. Not a big issue for chat, but if I send a photo to someone how secure is that on their servers? I stick to Live messenger; it may not be the best, but at least you know Microsoft is pretty secure.

BeeJive user here, love it.

Palringo and its not even close.
I've used almost all the other ones.... Palringo blows them away.

I used Parlingo, and while it was cool, it drained the hell out of my battery because it was ALWAYS connected.
I don't really use IM too much on my phone, the only reason I used it was to contact someone who can't receive texts at work. When I closed it, I was frustrated to find it was still open.
I had to close it via the task manager.
If you want something that is connected 24/7, it's great!

Palringo worked like a charm in mine, BUT from some time an on it does not show all my MSN contacts. I have literaly tried every single thing there is but with no use. I have even downloaded the PC version and again the same thing.. Does anyone have a solution or even encountered something similirar? I really liked that IM mainly because it permits me to chat while "appearing offline" which I find very useful. Or mybe suggest another client with the same feature?
The other one i liked was Beejive which i use on Ipod touch, BUT it keeps crashing my device every time, so it's a bummer for me.
Now I stick with Slick, pretty decent with the feature I mentioned above, the only drawback is that it doesn't have a FB chat support.

Honestly I have not had battery issues which would be a major concern of mine. I used beejive a while back and I thought that was an issue with beejive
Some of it may depend on the version of palringo that was used as I believe they made inprovements but I have used palringo for about a year now and I've had it run in the background with very little impact to my battery life.

Hey hani1,
It is not staying connected all the time, you can adjust it in the settings if you like to close it or keep it active. Its the best one there is, meaning lots of protocols, including facebook...
Give that a try

oh so i can make it not run in background? meaning when i exit the program, the process is ended? if thats the case, then i will definitley use it. i just dont like things running in background.

I'm using Beejive here whenever I've to contact someone I can't reach otherwise, it's pretty sweet and fast.
Most of all, I love that the Passwords (MSN, etc) are stored locally and not on some remote server.

the best client imo is Aimtxt which is aim thru text msg it doesnt use battery like other programs...just text 246246

[Q] which is best msn messenger

I'm looking msn messenger app, which one does best job of it?

I use MSN Talk, and like the way it works, but the 2 most popular ones are Trillian and eBuddy. Try them out, see which one works best for you.

+1 for MSN Talk

Ebuddy is the way to go
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

MSN Talk all the way, the cleanest and the fastest.

MSN Talk for some reasons FC's when I had the animation widget for my home. Weather & toggle widgets. ;x
Annoyinggggggggg

ebuddy has the most boring interface
so msn talk

IM+ is the best

Does anyone find with MSN Talk when you're typing text, that the last word you entered in the previous sentence reappears in the text box? I have to delete the word everytime before I start a new sentence...

Honestly I don't feel there is any good msn messenger yet. But I use trillian

My son installed HiMSN on my phone for me, I think mainly so he could sit in his bedroom on the Playstation and ask me for drinks and snacks. Quick, get me a mirror... do I have 'mug' written across my forehead

thanks guys
I start installing suggestions and which one work for me
Does anyone if any official one coming from Microsoft?
