Hi, I need help!
I've tried many chat client on my mobile, for example, Fring and Palringo. But I can not send file. Palringo works very well but it can't be use to transferring file.
Can you say what is the best program to be able to send file and concomitant to chat.
Thanks advance!

Yes and it's a good one but it's too expensive.
$39.95 for IM

I used to use slick on S60 and it supported file transfer. Been using slick on my x1 but I havent try to use files transfer yet. You could try that, just google lonecate games slick.

I'm using BeeJiveIM and fring occasionally....but BeeJive seems to work best so far.

I kinda want a IM app thats finger friendly. But it's rather hard to find

today I checked new version of Fring(3.3.4) which has file transfer.It has real
file trasfer not just as a link! but I can not transferr MP3 with that.
Have anyone tried the new version on XPERIA?

None supports QQ?

Same here,
If you use msn you can even send offline messages.
The downside is that the font is too small for our resolution but still usable.

I would be interested in locating a mobile version of QQ (english preferably..)

I've been using Palringo.
Works alright for me, could be better.
Sometimes I need a soft reset for it to log in, wont log in other wise, dont know why.
Also, do the other apps make the Instant Message LED indicator flash? I know its there in the illumination settings, but palringo doesnt trigger it :|

I like also the EQO Messenger http://www.eqo.com/.

i use slick. a bit slow on some menus but i like it better than nimbuz as it does not require you to log a web server to use.

I use Live messenger and Skype, just as on the laptop.
I have tried fring but it wasn't quite it...

IM+ FTW!!!

I too second IM+. It simply works, while many others simply did not. I use ICQ, GT and Jabber protocols.
And skype for skype, sure, but it's constant data flow and thus constant battery drain. Good if it's cold outside and you want to keep your hands warm

I like fring

logmein works on all wm phones, eespecially my 8525.
I have mine set to widescreen at home, and it looks great w/my rectangular screen (as opposed to treo).
Where are you having a problem?

If you want to stick strictly with VNC, go for the new PT Pocket Office.
BTW, I'll publish a BIG roundup & article of all these issues in the near future.

What does exactly happen? When does it refuse to run? Please elaborate - I know everything about all these services and remote access.
i seem to remember reading somewhere that it only works with an unmodified pocket internet explorer. It certainly works on my vario II.

It's indeed faster than other free VNC viewers but still consumes about 3 times more bandwidth than commercial solutions.

bandwidth for me isnt a concern, unlimited data plan plus a 6megx768k dsl line into my house... but do commercial solutions offer the same amount of control as VNC? just curious cause i do run a private FTP server out of my house and like the ability of total remote control over my pc when i am away... i believe i tried logmein.com about 4-5 months ago and dumped it, dont remember why, maybe cause i had to pay, but thats when i found a beta ppc version of RealVNC and have used that ever since.

PT offers built-in file transfer in the latest Pocket Office version and the author also promises clipboard synchronization. It's also much faster and consumes about 3 times less bandwidth.
Hopefully, I'll be able to publish my roundup of all remote access solutions the day after tomorrow - I'm still trying to hack the H/PC .NET RDC client (it's WAY more advanced than the native one on the Pocket PC) to the PPC.

What's exactly the problem? Do NOT trey to use it with RealVNC servers - it won't work. Use PTeSVNC instead.
Also, the config options are a bit overwhelming at first - I'll, of course, elaborate a LOT on them in my forthcoming roundup.

What browser to use

Hi all
Got my first windows phone and was wondering what browsers you are using with it ?
Thanks
Robert
IE, the built in one. Works fine for me. Only thing that'll make me switch is if Firefox is realeased for WM Wouldn't that be great? Oh and throw in Thunderbird too and It'll be the best!
I hear Opera is very good for mobile devices.

Have a look at minimo http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
Not forget Deepfish :
http://labs.live.com/Deepfish/default.aspx
Hi,
The better one is Netfront wich allow javascript, textbrowsing and many functions.
I use it on Universal since more than one year and I installed it on P3600 with success...
Have a try
Could anyone provide an invitation to download deepfish (or post it on rapidshare?)...
Many thanks...
mfg OK

Thanks tried it for an hour now and I'm loving it!!! (writing this with it ) Nice!
Opera Mini is amazingly fast. The fastest browser I've ever used. Too bad it need to run in java so entering text there's no autocomplete.
ThunderHawk is the most similar to a desktop browser and somehow their technology manages to fit about twice as much of a page on screen while still being legible. You pay a subscription of about 5 dollars a month, but after being away recently and having to use the PDA browsers a lot I was getting a headache using Pocket IE and Minimo, and the only browser which didnt make me claustrophobic was ThunderHawk.
They really should do a trial version of thunderhawk, because i dont believe many people would want to pay them before trial so its a very bad business model.
The problems with ThunderHawk are that it tries to usurp your operating system and it isnt like a normal PPC program. So, for simple short tasks I still use Pocket IE since it is less regimental.
I found Minimo to be pointless, Opera bloated, Netfront was ok, but pricey for not much advantage over an expanded PIE.

MSN + Other Software to get?

Recently got my Touch Dual from TMobile and wanting to know what software is worth having on there?
So far i just use Pocket Controller Pro, and CoPilot.
Wanting an MSN Client that is fairly quick, and as full of a MSN Client i can get really.
Also wanting something else to browse the internet, although IE is quite good i think.
So what is the sofware to have?
Can anyone recommend something to keep track of my internet activity, mb downloaded etc?
Thanks for any input guys .

There should be a copy of spb GPRS monitor on one of the CD's that came with your device.
hello,
First of, as for msn, i use windows live mobile, its quite fast, and doe have most of the features the normal msn on pc has, but i sometimes have trouble signing in, wich is quite frustrating:S
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
As for browsing, i reccomend the new opera mobile 9.5 beta, it is really fast and very user-friendly, altough it crashes sometimes..;(
For tracking your download speed and usage, you should try spb gprs monitor (altough it is not free)
Hope this helps

Text messages handler on (PC-) screen (like Soti pocket controller)

Is there an application where you can send text messages from your PC' monitorscreen while the device is hooked up via windows mobile center (active sync)?
I often use soti pocket controller (lets you view and acces your xperia on screen, great app for installing cab files and editing your device), but its just nog stable enough, sometimes the connections just failes on me...
W'd be a great help... (especially unlimited text messaging, you'd be texting like its e-mail!)
Btw, great site with tons of info... find myself checking it every day...
I know you can do this with Jeyo Mobile Companion, but I'm not sure if it works with the x1 yet.

Any other suggestions?
When I had a C902 I used an amazing application called My Phone Explorer, but unfortunately they don't work with Windows Mobile Phones. I know that hasn't answered your question, but will be watcing this thread as I am also interested.
I currently use:
MyMobileR

Looks ok, but works rather slow, when typing messages in the screen, the application often skips some letters, but still testing.
There must me other applications out there that can handle this. So ill keep searching!

Mobiola Web Cam (paid app) is what I used to use, but now I've started using QIK on my phone...it streams live vid from the phone to your account's webpage, which can be publicly visible, or only available to people you authorize to have access. It also archives the vids there once they're streamed.
It doesnt work with hspda ( 3g ) right ?
thanks for the hint !
I assume it'd work, I know it worked on GPRS in the past (on an older WM6 device). I haven't tried it with the TP2 yet, but I assume it works on any internet connection (3g, wifi).
The only thing I found, is a program called "Qik". Google it. This lets you stream live video from your cell phone to their site. They do give you the code to paste into you website. I have been using it for about a month and had no problems. Hope this helps.

didint work with 3g on my tp2.. only works with active sync, or wifi..
to The Pinhead:
Qik looks nice, i am going to try this out !
Looks like it is eating much data, so i have to watch out.
QIK works great for my ATT Tilt 2. There is something called Tinycam. It is pretty cool. Not sure if it is what you are looking for but I think it will do the job.

Mobiola or QIK? Mobiola works over BT, wifi, USB, not 3g. QIK works on 3G as well, I use it all over town
Octro Video
It is a bit basic, but works well.
http://www.octro.com/index.php
Just a thought
If the above mentioned program works with activesync then "theoretically" you could use it on 3g if you were say, activesynced to your Google account?
