Hi!
I need a messenger that doesn't need wifi to connect. Im using Palringo right now, and its VERY good but it looks like it uses wifi. I dont have any data plans, but on my old SDA i was using the actual OZ messenger, and i was in a car, and i connected to it, i was like "lol weird" and then i was talking to my friend for like 25 miuntes while moving around throughout brooklyn. Now i bought a wing, and the OZ doesnt do that. In fact, it cant even connect while im standing next to my router. Palringo can but, i need somehting that can connect anywhere. I dont care if it uses SMS or whatever, since i got a 400 message plan. So yeah, is there is a messenger like that?
THANKS!
Anyone?? Seroiusly why doesnt anybody ever reply to my threads?
people dont like you. ^^
nah, just kidding. I use OCTRO, it's free and works with MSN, ICQ, GMail and so on. Whereas IM+ and Agile Messenger both are NOT free (Agile is not free anymore!).
Noo, i tried octro but all i managed to get was "MSN Port offline" or something, and im talking about something that can doesnt need wifi to connect. you know if im in a car or a train (no not underground one) and its moving throughout the city, i cant use a wifi all over you know, it will disconnect within 5 seconds. I need some messenger that either uses SMS (i got a 400 messaging plan) so i dont need wifi, or connects to like tmobile's sms network, i dont know whatever, so i can use it anywhere and even if im rapidly moving throughout the area.
I'm looking for a IM as well. I manage to find one but it doesnt connect with the T-Zone Proxy Settings. So far the only thing that works is the IM from the original TMO RUU. It would be nice if someone anyone can provide one.
I found the original TMO IM App. I hope that helps.

it actually uses SMS (text messages), so i wouldnt recommend using it if you dont have an unlimited txt plan... i have unlimited txts but i hate that messenger.

When I used the original one, it wouldnt connect at all so i uninstalled it. But eh, let me try this then too..
EDIT: Thanks, it worked now. Too bad it uses my SMS messages. I dont have unlimited, but I got 400, but thats alright. I'll only use it when I really need to.
BTW, is there is an app like that for msn messenger?

I have unlimited txt as well, Aw messenger no good so just stick with what i alread have, thanks for the info
This is weird. At first the TMO app worked. My wing was connected to my PC through a usb and everything, and it actually connected.
Then later in my room it said communication error. Just like before.
Aw what the heck. Is there an app that can normally connect to something besides wifi so i can use it anywhere...urgh...because this one is acting weird.
Ok, you might try Agile oder IM+ Messenger, but you have to pay for them. You could also try PALRINGO, seems pretty stable and cool. Of course they all work with GPRS!

the OZ im app needs internet connection inorder to connect to the service. It uses sms for the messaging part.
At times there is a ton of delay when you receive a message.
The other messengers out there (im+, octro, etc) is on internet connection. When you get a phone call or lose service, it drops your connection and you will not get those messages.
I know AIM has about 9mins from disconnection to actually take you offline. so there is 9minutes of lost messages, using IM+ you don't lose the messages, but sometimes it takes forever to receive it.
I had to constantly manually refresh to get messages.

i have palringo. it uses wifi. I dont have a tmobile data plan though.
bowlopho - then why was i able to connect to the OZ app from my old SDA/HTC Tornado and talk to my friend on it while moving thoughout NYC in a car for like 25 mins until i signed off?
Don't know how much help this will be, but after reading the thread, I'm seeing a bunch of IM clients mentioned that need an internet connection, and no mention yet, of Fring (www.fring.com).
If I understand correctly, I believe that the OP was looking for one that worked without the GPRS / WiFi / Etc... connection types, and to my knowledge, albeit limited, there aren't any. My suggestion would be to get a data plan...
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

Hi
I got my HD2 yeasterday flashed it to 1.66 before I even put a sim in it and its been working really well. O2 even sent me a phone I could flash from HTC's website.
One is is that after maybe 1 hour or 4 hours windows live mobile will fail to connnet to msn and pull down emails. Restarting the phone is the only fix.
I have unticked the proxy setting just for it to retick when I click OK. Everything else will work fine just WLM will stop working.
Any ideas why and how to fix it as it is a very helpful feature?
Same, WLM is just useless. It will crash after about an hour starting by "the wireless network is currently unavailable" even if it is, at which point it's impossible to force it to disconnect, to close it, and it will hang task managers that try to enumerate the running processes so no way to kill it. After several long minutes it will finally say "you've been disconnected" stops hanging everything and can be closed, but relaunching it and trying to reconnect will only give a "network is unavailable" popup straight away before it even tries to connect. Usually it will cause lockups to other programs too in its wake, forcing a reboot.
I'd really appreciate a solution or alternative. Slick crashes with memory errors, IMPlus only manages to connect to msn half the time even if other protocols always work... I just can't find any msn client that actually works.
hmmmm guess ill have to wait for an update to appear. Meanwhile im going to unsync my email and do hotmail via pop3/imap.
Please post which version of WLM you are using (or is it just the one with the stock rom?).
I`m using an updated version and it's working flawlessly here (although it had problems syncing in the beginning).
OK:
try this one
http://rapidshare.com/files/333732216/WindowsLive.PPC2005_arm.cab
or
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L4VOCVG1
ive tried the updated version from the market place and it still does it.
I have loaded your first link onto my phone and we shall see how it goes. I have noticed if i leave MSN signed in it seems to do stop syncing and when i sign out msn the email works again.
10.7.0061.0500.2000, which is cooked in the ROM i use (see below).
And they really could make longer version numbers...
OK, downoading yours now.
tried both of them and the fault still shows. I have created a post on the windows mobile forums which I hope MS will see and will get to the bottom of the issue.
Here is the post for those who wish to contribute: social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/5c420f13-001e-42d6-924c-7385b0274221/ <<< Copy and paiste into your browser as im not allowed to post links yet.
i have the EXACT same prob! my life wud be SO much better if this prob didnt exist. its so frustrating i cant stand it anymore!!! come on ive solved EVERY prob on xda-developers somebody MUST knw the answer
I met the exact same problem. So I have to find a 3rd party IM software Beejive IM.
But it's pretty strange that in WM system, we even can't use MSN.
Hope some one could fix the problem.

does the nudge feature work with mobile msn.or do i need to update the version.where can i get the latest version of wlm
I don't use this software, but have you attempted to edit the registry?
EG what is the proxy it defaults to?
Whenever I install a clean ROM, I *must* go in the registry to HKLM/Comms/ConnMgr/Providers/(something)/(something)/Proxy and clear the key - otherwise youtube NEVER works.
The reason behind this is because everytime you load youtube, Youtube assumed ^that proxy was the one you needed, so it copied the value to HKLM/Software/HTC/Youtube/ProxyName, and nothing worked.
I'm assuming similar behavior is happening here?
So my question is: WHAT proxy is it automatically using?
It can't be a proxy issue, because as mentioned msn works, just that it will "crash" after about 1hr of use, and only then won't connect anymore until the next soft reset.
Hi there!
Same problem with windows love here. At best the service is reasonable....most of the time its just not!
Anyway; instead of just complaining I want to make it better and try the new version in the supplied link above. There is a notification however about deleting the older version existig on the phone before installing the new version. Question: how to delete the old version?? It's not in the programlist...
Anyone?
It asks if you want to uninstall, just answer "yes" and it does (or does not, but who cares, it does install the new one afterwards )
The one in the link was the same I already had though, so no help. I'm using IM+ lite now. Not perfect, but at least it works.
HD2
Ok i dont know if this is anything to do with this thread but got a hd2 but msn doesnt work on wi-fi? does anyone know how to get this fixed? it only works on Data
Thanks
Has anyone found a solution for this yet?
Just wondering, why dont you use the default mail client on WM(setup the mail account) and for messenger, use parlingo? I too had my run with Windows live messenger failing me. I actually did what i've typed and became a happier man. Maybe you like to try that?
i use only exchange email sync and that works perfekt. Lets me have gmail on outlook exchange. But it sux that we cant use a microsoft product full out on a windows phone, makes no sense. All rom cookers seem to given up on msn messenger. But setting hotmail only to sync "as ithems arrive" works great.
Yeah I use Palringo but WLM has much better visuals, ah well I'll give up on it aswell.

I think there isn't, you could get the Windows messenger app instead of the web version, just search Google, that version is great, looks like pc and is fast.
Well for gtalk
ie only gmail chat
i use fring
google search it
runs in background
also has twitter,yahoo,msn n more things but doesnt have facebook instant messenger service
for tht i use fim (facebook instant messenger)
fring needs u to register first
its free, so register a fring acc
im from india, gprs (edge) isnt very reliable here
if my connection goes, i dont know why but fring crashes
even fim crashes!
check them out
they arent troublesome
can be removed without any pain
i use Parlingo its cross platform
Used it on my Elf was great ran in the background and popped up like a text message.
palringo.com
Nimbuzz
You can try also numbuzz. Its freeware , it can connect to Yahoo! , Skype, Aol, Windows live and much more. The only problem is that is kinda slow on my Touch.
palringo
I like Palringo.. Really nice app.. supports multiple accounts log in. Using 2 yahoo with it.

yeah.. i agree. use parlinggo, i already try all but parlinggo is the best for chat.
Palringo is definitely the best. It also works with a push server, meaning your messages get received by the palringo servers and then sent back to you when you're available. This is particularly useful if you're using an unreliable data connection (IE: Third world country)
It would always crash on my elfin under winmo 6.0. But after I upgraded to the Onyx winmo 6.5 rom it works like a charm.
I cannot found IM.apk or IM native, cause i wanna use Yahoo Messenger from IM native, i've already tried Ebuddy (Sometimes the message haven't received), Meeboo (Problem connections), IM+ (Problem Connections, it makes active chat close)...
anyone have IM.apk? that work on X10

i'm using IM+, it works very well for me. IM+ Lite is free & also good
I installed the native im but every time I logged in , it would crash or something on me. I don't remember exactly what happened when I started it but I know it didn't work, so I ended up using ebuddy and haven't had any problems with it. Try msn droid.. that's my second favorite msn app.
i use meebo im.. it's sometimes get sign off automatically
but it's ok for me.. because no need to online all the time...
