searched but haven't found anything.
running JF1.5, wondering if the US RC33 app works and where to get it if it does?
i know there's meebo and stuff out there, but i have yet to find a 3rd party app without connection issues. i also don't have data plan but do have unlimited sms, so i'd actually prefer the use of sms on the native app.
otherwise i'm assuming we'll have to wait for the official t-mobile OTA release for a cupcake compatible app?
update: now looking for an IM app port from the US to ADP/other versions of cupcake

There's a stock gtalk app on JF1.5(and all the other versions of ADB 1.5). The new IM app is apparently modular, so people have to make the plugins for the other IM protocols(will probably be available in the t-mobile release)

well, at least not in our german update :-/
Germany is also so small that noone notice/care
*Looks at his address... Denmark*
Well, maybe .. but i think it's more due to tmobiles policies .. they also don't allow IM besides p2p and voip afaik.
I hope we see a plugin soon. The only reliable IM it appears is Hi Aim. Every other application on the market suffers from constant disconnects or other issues.
Meebo works fine and very stable for me! I connect via my meebo account to msn and icq.
Meebo disconnects often for me.

palringo for ALL your chatting needs!!!..in the market
the thing with 3rd party apps is that they get shut down by android automatically when you start using more memory for other apps. correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the built-in IM app has a service always running in the background that keeps connection.
anyone know if the RC33 app works with cupcake?
i tried parlingo, hi progs, meebo and ebuddy. i like ebuddy.

I tried Meebo but it kept disconnecting. I think the best one for MSN is Hi MSN. I love it because I can send nudges and winks too. Lol. And it seems if it loses its connection it automatically reconnects. Nice!
ok, so i tried moving various combinations of the following files from Jf 1.51 US to JF 1.51 ADP and none of it seems to be working...
IM.apk
IM.odex
ImProvider.apk
ImProvider.odex
TmoImPlugin.apk
anyone know if there are any library dependencies or some other way to get these working on ADP builds?

Even the native IM apps get bumped off when more memory is needed for other apps. It's sad because we can't find an AIM/YAHOO/WLM application for Android that can stay connected 24/7. This is the only thing I miss about my sidekick.

I have Hello IM but I don't like using it because it drains the battery really fast. Even Hello IM is not excluded from being shut down to make more memory room for other apps.

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.
Which app is it? Do we have to pay for this service?
its supposed to come out today as "visual voicemail" if you have the mytouch and the internet feature there is no additional cost.
It just came onto the market on my MyTouch - but it doesn't work, keeps claiming my account is not created, and tells me to sent my operator to m.web2go.com/dsb/vvmupsell
Once again, getting my phone early means things don't work yet. The manual also points me towards the marketplace for the apppack, which also has not yet been loaded

Good point - probably not, as I came from the G1, so I'm most likely still on the old package.
It's alright. Prefer Youmail for the email aspect.
Just had to have my data changed to get VVM to work.. The app crashed a couple times, but it does what its supposed to.. Also I noticed we seem to be getting both notifications instead of just the VVM one..
Just got Visual Voicemail hooked up too! Nice!!! I've been waiting for this functionality (on T-Mobile) for a long, long time... so it's really nice to finally have it.
All that said, the icon has the (typical) T-Mo "pink", which I could do without. Also, the app itself isn't especially 'flashy', but it appears to do what it's supposed to to.
Does anyone know why after I installed this app, that whenever someone calls me, voicemail never picks up and the caller gets a busy signal?
Sounds to me like you need to check your call forwarding settings. Set your time limit and forward to +1-805-MESSAGE

No, that is the official TMo app, weird and shady that it asks you to go somewhere else, but thats it.
Easy fix, is call TMo and ask them to enable it for you. You might have to upgrade your messaging plan however.

Has anyone been able to find a way to make Facebook update properly on the HD2 these days?
I cannot see any of my recent wall posts, photos etc.
Thanks.
I've also been having this same problem. I had to log out and re-log back in to refresh the updates. I don't know why it's been doing this.
log out log in again every time you want it to update or you can use the client build into the browser. Been fudged up for a few weeks now
Logging in and out does not seem to work for me oddly enough.
Seems like such a simple program.
I know they are working on new security, interfaces, certificates and the like, but...really...this is as rudimentary a facebook experience as one can get and I find it very strange that it has not been addressed with an update in the marketplace.
Glad to see that some others here have had their troubles start with this around the same time I did.
No, not happy for your woes...just nice to know I am not alone!
Install the version NOT from the Marketplace or the one that came preinstalled on the HD2. Its the same version according to about, but for some reason, this version for me has been working fine for around a week where as the others won't update and haven
t updated for me for almost a month.

You can get it directly from Facebook, or from Windowsmobile.com.

this is an older version of the app.. the current version is 1.1.0.17
Well that is the latest version that I could find. Its the same as the one here..but the functionality is basically the same despite the version number.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx
the version off of the market place is 1.1.0.17 the one on the phone was older than that by a long shot as it was 1.0.0.0.7 or something like that
Which is very true, but they both offer the same features and functionality so the version differenece seems prettty trivial to me.
while the features are similar the PQ is loads better on the new app....no more low res crap pix.......

Nothing seems to fix it. The ONLY way I can get on Facebook on my HD2 now, is to use XDA-Facebook...which is a better application anyway in my opinion. I think the problem is with Facebook itself, not the app but I cannot confirm this.

From what I've read it's a Microsoft issue. FB changed some **** and Microsoft has yet to develop an update to make their facebook app work with facebook. I guess FB let Android, Iphone, etc know the changes were coming and Microsoft just doesn't care about our Winmo 6.5 software enough to work on it. There are some threads on the internet about this where people are wigging the hell out over it. Saying they will never buy another winmo phone because of it. It's kinda funny.
The FB app on my phone hasn't worked for over a month. Do I care? Not that much. The FB app on my iphone 2G works just fine.

Ditto. The Facebook app has never worked for me. As soon as I enter my user information the app will update my news feed, photos, and status ONCE. Ever since, I have found that the mobile version of FB is excellent for what I need. I it doubt that the app will ever be updated.
Hi guys,
I am new here and forgive me if I am asking something that was already discussed before.
Is there a way to install Skype on this device? I tried to go to Skype android section and download it from there but it always requesting phone number and type....
Regards
I FOUND A WAY TO FAKE OUT SKYPE!!!!
1st off let me start, i have the 1.0c mod added to my A7, and i extracted the vending .apk for 2.2.6 marketplace from the update zip found here on xda, cleared out the cache and data, and FC the marketplace, then installed the apk like a normal program, so i have an updated marketplace as well...
but like most of us at this point, when we try and logon to skype it gets caught in a loop...
im very short on time, so ill be quick... ive also got an N1 running cryo 6.1
i get to the login screen for skype for both devices, i have my GF's account entered on the A7 and my account entered on the N1, both have WiFi turned on, i press signon on both devices at the exact same time, and the A7 gets pasted the loop and logs on to skype, i have to very quickly logoff of skype on the N1, and the A7 works!
it does cause a lot of FC's but atleast its progress, and maybe a direction for the devs to look into....
ill give much more detailed walkthru when i get back tonight, or maybe tomorrow...
Whats wrong with skype? I logged into skype and made a phone call to my house with no trouble except when i tried to end the call, it locked up.
My Skype sits at logging in forever. What version of Skype are you running fisher?
Where did you find Skype android version to download? ...and I believe that it is in Skype interest to fix the bugs and make it work on Elocity or any other android device using WiFi or 3G...
Regards
Help - Skype
Same issue - trying to use Skype downloaded from Marketplace (A7 using Dexter version 1c) - seems to be stuck with getting logged in - got it to work once, but I am not able to repeat - please advise ...........thanks - Love the A7 just wish I could address these shortcoming
Installed Skype 1.02 for Android build 1.0.0.659...cannot make it work ...whenever I try to log in it stops working ..sometimes it shows the message "logging in" but it cannot complete the atsk...Have anybody made Skype work on Elocity?
Thanks
as stated earliler i have been able to get skype running on several occasions...
skype currently does not have a valid electronic signature for the tablet, or the tablet the build.prop was copied from...
that is why when we attempt to logon to skype, its checking for the signature, getting caught because it is getting mixed signals from our device and getting stuck in the 'loop'
but my N1 does have a valid signature... which i think is why skype is getting faked out when both devices are logging on from the same wireless network... the signature is going out from my N1, and the tablet is logging on...
Interesting...Unfortunately I do not have phone to use it to log at the same time...and I am trying to do it over WIFI
I bet you Skype will fix it eventualy
Regards
just a quick note.
it has been written in forum for a long time, that Skype somehow is protected from being used over mobile data connections.. im not sure how that affect regular users, but they have done something for US users to protect against Skype use. but this was all primarily on mobiles, im not sure how this fits into a tablet being used.
You may be right...the Android so far was always connected with the smartphones...tablets are very new thing and have been coming out only in last 6 +/- months with latest version iteration of 2.1, 2.2 ans hopefully this summer 3.0.
Regards

thats explains it.. the build.prop of official rom is not approved by Skype so it fails.. you need a different rom install or "steal it from my mod", it will solve it you dont want the new version.

heya,
I've got the new 2.3.4 update for my Nexus One, and it seems that there's absolutely no voice or video support in chat.
Other people on the forum seem to have confirmed this as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061270&page=2
It seems like a pretty lousy move from Google.
On their blog post:
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/04/video-chat-on-your-android-phone.html
they specifically mention that Google Talk with video and voice chat will will launch on other devices in the future.
I can understand there not being video on the Nexus One, as there's no front-facing camera (although they could still support it, just with the rear camera...lol), but it seems like a pretty low move to leave the Nexus One in the dust like that with voice as well.
Does anybody know if this is perhaps a bug in the Nexus One update, or perhaps you need to do something to unlock the voice functionality?
Cheers,
Victor
Strange, because with just the normal gtalk app installed on my nexus one (2.3.3 CM7), i'm able to at least voice chat. A pretty lame move if it doesn't allow voice and video.
Seriously, no voice and no video. Google needs to just make a universal gtalk app and put it in the market. Oh well at least there are better alternatives on the market that work now like tango and yahoo messenger.
Has anyone tried manually adding the new talk/jingle lib? I doesn't seem like its included in the update. See here for a link/how to. I would start by copying JUST the lib (second to the last line)
Google just isn't going to bring video chat to phones without a FFC (they said so in the announcement which was pretty clear to me). It offers a pretty bad experience for the average user. Voice chat is certainly possible and there's no reason to not allow it. Hopefully they fix this in a future update and hopefully put chat in the market so they can update it more often.
Just use the app and lib from the Nexus S update. Problem solved.
I agree though that they should at least allow Voice Chat. The only reason I can think of for not doing it would be that it competes with Google Voice but considering that's only available in 2 countries in the world it's hardly what I'd call "widely available".

Yes, the slightly modified Talk2.apk and lib from the thread that we both linked to above works on the N1. There is no reason to only copy the lib as it would be useless without the apk since there is nothing in the old apk actually loading the lib and calling the functions it provides.
I wish I could say I used the Talk app and I cared about this... but I can't.
Yes! Who cares about gtalk I want bug fixes!!!

Cool! Do the 'other' things that didnt work in 2.3.3 work? Like being able to initiate a voice/video call from the pc? Or sending video?
Gapps 20110503 fixes everything. I can send video AND the other user can call me. Awesome!
CM7 nightly #60.
heya,
Hmm, interesting - so you're saying if I just install the gapps 20110503 package, I'll get Gtalk with voice/video support?
Do you mean the one from here?
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
I'm on stock Android, and I'd like to stay that way for now. This package doesn't have any dependencies on CyanogenMod, does it? And it's not going to cause any other weirdness or breakages if I install that package, is it?
I thought that package was just the stock GoogleApps package that's split off as a separate download due to licensing restrictions - what difference is it to the one that's one my Nexus One 2.3.4 now?
Cheers,
Victor
I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted. I'm running CM7 nightly #60.
So that means that the hardware is capable of video chat for sure. we should write to google and ask the nexus team to give it to us, the official way!
It is 100% capable. Confirmed working on my N1.
