IM+ 4.28 issues

Hey i just upgraded to this version since the upgraded AIM protocols made previous versions nonfunctional. The enhancements are great and all but the problems overtake its once greatness. It's tons of times slower and even locks up my wizard. The notifications are disfunctional and you cant have spaces in your screenname anymore -__- . I was just wondering if anyone else had these problems. I emailed Shapeservices and hopefully they will/have a solution. IM+ is a great program and it hurts me to see it like this =/

I noticed a major slowdown the first time I launched the new version. Every other launch since then has still been slower than previous versions, but it's definitely usable.
Probably something to do with their "full status" support (e.g. you can set a custom away message with AIM now and away messages are automatically updated and shown for your people in your buddy list).

I've been having a problem on mine where it won't let me go to the Desktop while the program is running. I can open other programs and have it show up on top of IM+, but I can't view the Desktop.

I'm using 4.23 and it works perfect.
No problems with it, and the notifications work fine.
Maybe try 4.23 out?

***EDIT***
This has been edited due to discussion of warez. This is not the board for that. If you want to give instructions then do it via PM, NOT ON THE PUBLIC BOARD.

Are you recieving IMs in AIM? Because AIM/ICQ supposedly changed their protocol which led to people not recieving IMs, including me. This issue is fixed in 4.28. If you recieve IMs in 4.23, then can you send me a cab? thanks.

yea same here i used it once i didn't get a chance to play with it some more just yet but i noticed a major slow down in my first time use also along with it locking up after i started using it for a while and i had to soft reset my phone
i upgraded from the 4.23 because i was no longer able to recieve messages but i could send them

i had the same problem with 4.23 but 4.28 works fine

4.28 is horrible.. the most annoying thing is that if i am typing an IM and an IM comes in that it moves the cursor back to the first postion of the box. so if was trying to type "The lazy brown fox" and an IM comes in then it might look something like this "own fox The lazy br"

4.29 is out now.. that problem is fixed

it doesnt move the cursor back.. or at least i havent noticed it.

thanks for the update, i will test it out today!

no problem.

all versions of im+ are slow when using them to Y!M handles...especially if your friends has above 200 contacts..over 2 minutes of preload time.agile messenger is better!..sorry for the offtopic

I still get the cursor jump with 4.29

IM+ 4.30
Terrible, Cursor still jumps, phone now locks up when switching from portrait mode to landscape mode when you goto your contact list. Random lock ups. Will turn your phone to standby and come back to check IMs and your phone wont come back from standby, ie: has locked up, and you need to soft reset.Switching from 1 IM to another is also another hassle in itself. You need to touch the screen and select from the menu to see the other IM boxes, as said before, agile doesnt have any of the these problems and pressing the down button in the message window box then left or right fast switches from different conversations. Problem is, 1. Agile isn't free anymore, 2. Agile sends your Login and passwords through their website, many accounts have been hacked and important information stolen because of this. Sorry to jump off topic, just throwing in my 2 cents for the newest version of IM+.
BTW im running Windows Mobile Black 1.2 on my Cingular 8525 (Cingular Edition)

can u change the ugly icons on this program?
i hate how everything is neon green looking.
thanks

i used 4.30 but i have over 200 contacts and the phone freezes and have to remove the battery. i've installed im+ 1.38 and it works fine

Sent from my X10a using XDA App

I've had this happen occasionally since I got my X10 running the original firmware (014). I tried for quite some time to isolate where the problem was coming from but to no avail.
I did start a thread about it about a month back: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724746
The phone had been good for a few weeks (I was running mostly 023 at the time), but then had this happen again yesterday when my fiancee called me.
I think it may have to do with the caller ID in some way, because I've never had it happen when I received a call from someone not in my phonebook. However, the majority of calls I receive are from people in my phonebook, so that may just be coincidence.

You just gave me a great hint. i only have this problem with people calling from my phonebook. I don't have the roger caller ID since 12 bucks on top is pretty much robbing me and it never show me the phone numbers.
I don't think it is that, but i will give a few tests.

I do have caller ID through Rogers, so I don't think it would be the lack thereof causing it.
I did try in the past deleting all my phone contact's photos, but that didn't seem to help.

look like only you and me having this problem.
You mind listing apps that auto run and ran before it happen ?

[Q] Flashed Froyo on MT3G 1.2; a couple of concerns

I finally took the plunge and rooted/loaded a new ROM on my wife's phone. Everything went smoothly and I figured that the best/easiest choice for a new ROM would be the CyanogenMod ROM 6.0 that just came out.
Since I loaded the new ROM, I've noticed a few things that I hope someone can help me fix.
First, one of the main reasons that I wanted to load the ROM is so I could get rid of that Amazon Mp3 app. The Froyo ROM I installed still had it
Also, I've noticed that when I try and rotate the screen, it takes several seconds (some times close to a minute) to actually rotate. This mainly happens right when I unlock the phone.
My wife says that the option to have separate tones play when an e-mail comes in vs an SMS has gone away. I haven't played with it, so IDK about this. She just wants to know if the message received was an email or a text.
There were some other things, but I don't remember what they were, so if I remember I'll post. But those are the big ones. If there is anything I can do to fix them, let me know please! Also, if there is a better, smoother, faster ROM for MT3G 1.2 than the CYGN 6.0, I wouldn't be opposed to reflashing.
Thank you for any help!

Let's start off by moving this to General.
The best way to remove a system app (Yes, Amazon MP3 is considered a system app) is by installing Titanium Backup and using that app to remove any system app that you don't want installed. I used it recently to remove Street View (Street.apk) and I was able to install the newest version from Market after a reboot.
There should be no reason why it would take any more than a couple of seconds to rotate your home screen. How many widgets and shortcuts do you have? Try locking the Launcher app to memory. That may help.
SMS notification:
SMS app, Settings, check Notifications, Notification Settings, Select Ringtone
Gmail notification:
Gmail, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone
Email notification:
Email, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone

Thank you! Sorry for posting in wrong forum. I debated General and Android... should have gone General!
As per the homescreen, I believe she only has 2 widgets: Analog Clock and some task killer widget. IDK if the task killer widget is the root of the problem, but I will have her remove it and see if that fixes it. I also don't know how to check if it is using a lot of system resources. Is there some kind of Taskmgr app that will tell me if that app is a resource hog?
Thank you for your response!

That Task Killer Widget. Oh My, that is one resource hogger. I tried it on my Tilt with Froyo ... it hogged up badly . I gave up, and got me a new myTouch 3G 1.2 off ebay.

Ok, I got the sound thing all working (really easy. Should have looked b4 I asked) But the rotation is still really slow
I was given a Droid to help develop a mobile application recently, and even though it has similar specs to the MT3G, and the same OS version, there is not lag in the screen rotation. I've installed most of the same apps on the Droid and still there is no lag.
Is there something else that could be causing the lag? Any thoughts?
Thanks

Have you uninstalled task killer yet? they actually do way more harm than good.

Froyo on Mt3g 1.2?
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I thought the only Froyo images for MT3g 1.2 were buggy at best and didn't support wifi or camera, among other things.
A guy I work with just put Froyo on his G1 and says it works faster than Eclair. I want in on that action!

As a MT3G user, I've found that the 6.0 Rom from CY is horrible with a Mytouch sadly. It's the rom not agree'ing with the Mytouch that is the problem, not the phone.
I'd suggest the 6.1 RC1 Mod from Cy, or this linked Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814142
I've had no problem with the linked rom working for me. I had some minor issues with the RC1 not recieving all my texts, though honestly I upgraded my radio at the same time as changing over to the new Rom, so I'm not sure if it was the ROM or the Radio.

[Q] Picture Mail

I have a problem. Whenever someone sends me a picture mail i receive the message but the picture does not come up. the only thing there is a button that says download and you click on it and it says downloading but nothing happens. Any thoughts on what i should do?

So I'm guessin your running one of the Cyanogen or AOSP roms. I've found these just don't do picturemail all that well. I can get static pics but no animated gifs on these roms. I've never had a problem on any of the Sense roms (Not sure about Sense hd).
If your having issues on a stock Sense build, this may be a phone problem.

yeah its cyanogen. i dont even see the static picture. do u know a good sense rom to get? i would love to try one that is good.
Thanks,

fresh evo 3.5 is pretty good. i just switched from that to cm because i want to used a bt keyboard and wii remote on my phone.
fresh is pretty quick.
i think you will like it

I get the same problem with Myn's Warm. I think it may be a phone issue.

I have the same problem and made a thread if you want to check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10197958
basically the only fix i have found for now is when you get the download button, open a task killer and kill the "messages" and "message uploader" processes then go back into the message and hit download and it will come up. From what I can tell it is for sure a sprint issue. I have had the problem before i even rooted and its continued no matter which rom i use or which wimax/radios either.

OP, are you running handcent? i have the same "problem" but i thought it was just a setting in handcent.

I have the same issue, of course my cell phone provider told me to do a hard reset, I can send picture messages, but can't recieve them.

I get this sometimes too. Usually dropping to 3g will fix it. If that doesn't work, a reboot will do. It tends to happen when I've gone a long time without rebooting.

I"ve had the problem on different phonies, different ROMS, different MODS> Sprint says there's a ticket out the MMS problem.... for what it's worth

Noticed changes in DL30

I don’t see a thread like this so I would like to start one
I have noticed a ton of changes in the stock DL30 build and there are still some i probably haven’t ran into yet. I think it would be fun to see what changes people have noticed. . I know a lot of these are in the original leak thread but that thread is too saturated with questions and issues people are having.
I would kind of like to keep it clean so I would like to see lists of changes only and not a ton of questions.
I will start off with a few things I have noticed so far. I have left out some of the obvious things that comes with froyo but feel free to add them if you wish
-Facebook syncs contacts automatically. No need to get friends and then check the ones you want from Facebook
-You can now manually join contacts. Maybe you could do this before?
-You can now use custom ringtones for contacts that aren’t local on the phone
-You can use media files for ringtones
-Can now use multiple exchange accounts
-Can now use out of office for exchange accounts
-Can use pin unlock even though it doesn’t work because it says you need a symbol
-New theme which I actually like.
-Has new e-mail and text counts on the Touch wiz icons
-Can use media or voice tones for alarm
-The sliding thingy when you are typing, makes it much easier to correct spelling mistakes
-Can change fonts
-Media hub added
-Includes Samsung keyboard which I prefer over the others now
-Dock now works!

Only thing I don't like is that you have to enable background data in order to do anything related to data. Never had to do that before.

Anyone got yahoo email setup on the new DL30? I tried to read email (HTML based) from like amazon and other spam I usually get and now it say message too long, cant not display.
Anyone getting that too?

Pinch to view home screens.
Email count on the home screen is awesome....

Few things I noticed so far:
For exchange accounts it lets you choose seperate peak and off peak sync times which is cool.
The notifications has an auto-rotation on/off button along with your wifi, bt etc. But it doesn't really work with your homescreens unless you install laungher pro or something.
Signal strength has definitely increased.
Also, after I got DL30, I was asked to update camera firmware, and that added a couple of minor changes to camera.

Also forgot to mention that while in Car or Desk cradle the home screen now is landscape. Also when you get calls when on either the call screen is landscape!!! can you say "Awesome"!!!!
jv

And I am sure everyone is dying to know this, they replaced blockbuster with media hub.

Couple of things, keep in mind I was rooted running a custom ROM previously and now have LP running:
1. I like the changes to gmail (I was used to 2.2 gmail from my droid, took me a sec to figure where the send button moved to)
2. For whatever reason, after flashing and restoring apps with Titanium, I was debinged, however, that applies to voice search and all functions of the car dock aside from basic search. Hence, none of those functions work (voice search, navigation, maps. Not a deal breaker..just an observation.
3. The battery icon seems likes it's not even tied to the actual charge amount. Again..no big deal, I use simi clock and I check my battery there.
4. Gallery renders FAST..
5. Market still on old version...hasn't updated yet.
Haven't had a chance to really check any flash websites but will get around to it.

Issue with back button from contacts
Has anyone else had the back button stop working when in contacts?
It worked fine when I first got done with the update, then sometime after sync of facebook it stopped working. Not sure if that was the cause but something made it stop.

Be sure to open up the camera app. New firmware there.

I also noticed some of the bloat apps I had to remove when I first got my phone are gone. CityID immediately comes to mind (which I thought was the worst thing ever!), but I also noticed the Kindle app is missing and someone already mentioned Blockbuster. I thought they were more, but my memory is escaping me now.
The stock music player is also different, but this is my first Android device and thus first experience with 2.2, so this might just be a froyo thing. When I'm playing music and turn the screen off, when I turn it back on to the lock screen, there's a piece of CD hanging from the top of the screen. This can be pulled down to control the music. I never noticed this before, but I also may have never used the music player with the puzzle lock screen. Anyway, it's a cool feature that I dig. If I change to the AOSP lock screen (which I like way more than the puzzle lock), will this feature still be present?

I found a workaround for the Exchange pin issue.
If you setup a PIN before you setup your Exchange account from settings-> location & security-> screen unlock, it will work. You'll still see the message about device security needing to be setup at first but it will start syncing and not ask again.
Hope this helps!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
This was the main thing that bugged me on this rom and i was able to get around it. If you have the security policies already pushed you can go into Device administrator and remove the one for your exchange account, then go change your PIN, after a while your e-mail account will tell you that you need to enable the security policy again.
Thanks again!

Glad this worked for you. As an Exchange Administrator and user, this is one of the best features of Froyo!!! No more full keyboard to enter PIN.

Love this new update.

How can you tell if its the new market? What changed? Also, tried some web sites for flash but doesnt want to play. I'll have to try with a different browser.

Yup, CityID, Blockbuster, Kindle, the demos for Need for Speed and Tetris and a few others.
I'm wondering if this was an early version of 2.2, before they had a chance to add all that crap in. Would be nice if Verizon listened to their customers and actually choose to leave that stuff out in 2.2.

you have to go to the market and download adobe flash player 10.1
i have noticed SIGNIFICANT battery/signal strength increase.. I was barely able to get 16 hours out of my battery before and now mines been on for 14 hours and its still at 60 percent.. my time without a signal was at like 30% on DL09 or DJ05 and now its at 4% without a signal. much more memory available.. could be because im using super clean tho..
