is there a way to replace the stock IM with IM+?
with the stock IM i can only connect to MSN or Yahoo when iam online with WLAN not over 2G/3G
but with the IM+ iam able to connect to all networks via WLAN/2G/3G
so is there a way to use IM+ as standard IM for the contacts app also?
I was actually just wondering which apk to remove to uninstall the IM app. I don't think it can be done without screwing up Gtalk.
i thinkss its the t-mobile im app included in CM ROMs

Yup, it's part of the core framework, just leave it alone.
is there a way to force the conection via 2G/3G (maybe like set 2G/3G as virtual WLAN) ?
back when I first got my G1 I used to use the default IM app on 3g/3g with no problems. But I stopped when I realized that EACH I.M. SENT is billed as a sent sms (I didn't have unlimited txting).
You can use a different IM app as the default. Just go to Application Settings>Manage Applications and find the default IM app and select "clear defaults". Next time you try launching the IM app directly from your contacts you can choose which app to have set as the default.
On a side note, I just tried this and although I have IM+ installed (among 3 or 4 other IM apps)I only had two options to choose: IM or Meebo. So maybe you need to contact IM+ about integrating their app or something?
Actually i would like to know how i can tell IM what the SIM's mobile number is ..
I can not use MSN because it can not read the mobile number
( I only have optus Data on SIM .. The mobile number that is bound to it was provided .. for using with MSN on an mobile phone ..)

On Unlock G1 with Non TMobile SIM Card i can login into MSN or AIM using my WiFi But in GPRS, EDGE or 3G it just dont get login flashes the following Error
Unable to sign in to the MSN service. Please try again later.
(Detail: Sorry, the phone number cannot be read from your SIM card. Please contact your Operator for help.)
that is because it uses tmobiles sms service... try a different IM client
i downloaded Meebo messenger from the market and it works just fine.
I have that same problem. It happened after I upgraded to RC30.

What? I am not following you here. Google IM is free and other IMs in the IM client that came with the phone use SMS, Google is the only one that uses data. I use Google all the time.

Not following you here... where did we start talking about the aria?
Just installed this, cant believe how nice it looks!
But yeah theres an option now to start and sign in when the phone does, which is appealing because it would be similar to blackberry messenger.
But would this cause a serious drain on battery? Surely its no different to having GTalk running?
nimbuzz does not have push notification like GTalk or the nimbuzz on the iphone so it will drain your battery like mad because its constant connection to stay logged in.
the closes thing to bbm is gtalk atm. or whatsapp when they release it on the android
that sucks, no one I know uses gtalk lol. is whatsapp being released on Android?

Hows your battery life when using nimbuzz?
Whatsapp should be released soon but i dont see why people are paying for this app when GTalk does the same if not more and its FREE?
Ask your friends to install GTalk on their devices for now, they might like it =)
Because "WhatsApp" does not need special username or PIN.
You only need your phone number (in international forward) and that's it!
Very nice indeed, but when for Android????

When you install Nimbuzz, does it ALWAYS connected ?
Is it possible to run it on-demand?
Because I might interested in using it as "Skype" client ONLY. And use it when I want to use Skype-call feature.

nimbuzz is always connected and it does not support push notification.
i installed it to use skype but it doesnt support group chat so its a bit useless for me.
But generally skype does not support push notification, not even on there own official apps
Is it possible to turn the connection OFF ?
And only use it just to use Skype for calling (international) land-lines for example?

You can sign out which turns the connection off.
so you can sign in when you need to use skype and sign out when your finished
Does anybody see their own picture in conversation? I have in my account, but I /and frieds don`t see it.
I tried Nimbuzz today, but unfortunately I cannot use it to use my Skype account to call (non-skype) landlines / mobile phones
I know, for this feature I need full featured Skype client, correct? And it does not exist on Android !
Nimbuzz has been uninstalled ...
Do you have your mobile number associated with skype in order to send sms and call? I have and have no problems calling mobile numbers from Nimbuzz. I takes credit from my skype account.
Yes, I finally figured it out how to get that ...
BUT ... it is really buggy ...
It only worked for the FIRST TIME ... showing that saved number.
When I modified or added some more in the Skype PC application, logout Skype.
They dont appear on the Nimbuzz.
I tried to login-logout Nimbuzz ... it does not work.
I tried to remove Skype account and added again ... it does not work
I tried to uninsall Nimbuzz and reinstall ... it does not work
I tried to uninstall Nimbuzz, reboot phone, reinstall ... it does not work
Whatever I tried in Android phone with Nimbuzz, it did not "sync" (or update) the Skype saved numbers.
So, yeah, frustrated with this kind of quality of the Nimbuzz for Android.
Does it work on yours? The add/update Skype saved numbers ...

no, removing the account did not refresh contacts
Yupe, and there is NO WAY to refresh either
So, I guess I have to wait another update ... (if there will be any!).
Anyway, I tested to call using SkypeOut and the call quality is not that good, there was some delays at the other end (long distance international call).
But, certainly it is better than Fring.

I've been searching around for something like this. All it needs is phone signal. This would be convenient when I'm in another country. So yeah, are there any apps like this? Paid included
The ones i can think of are the ebuddy, im+, meebo and imeasy
yeah but those require data connection. BB messenger doesnt, it sorta like has its own private network
But then wouldnt you need a connection to the BBM servers? Which most likely means u need a cellular or data connection.

You definitely need a data plan for BBM it just used signifigantly less data than most cause it does all the thinking n rendering on blackberries end.
On that note, the bad news is that there is definitely nothing comparable in android. Check ebuddy but you're still going to need a data plan, even with a BB.

Try kik messenger, I dont think you need a internet connection for it, I use it all the time. It's in the android market, and its free.
They all use either a data connection or sms as far as I know. What other ways are even possible? Using the GPS to send it over a satellite, or ultra far reaching bt/wifi...
PS:The last sentence is sarcasm...

BBM uses an internet/data connection to acces BB's servers. You therefore need a data connection/plan to use BBM.
If you're looking for something similar, try the Ping/Pingchat app - it's cross platform (BB, iPhone, Droid) and works in a similar way to BBM (using Ping's own server network).
You'll still require a data connection (need not be wifi, or 3g for that matter) - so you ay even want to stick with something you already use on your computer (google chat, msn, skype etc via multi IMs like Nimbuzz, Fring...the later two can use Skypeout to make VOIP calls)
All apps need a data connection
WhatsApp is your best option. However, it's still in closed beta for Android. When it is released, you will be able to chat with iPhone, BB, Symbian, and Android users by just having their phone number in your phone book.
Google Talk!
Oh I see. I was under the impression that bb messenger works over cellular networks because it has its own network. Thanks for the clarification guys. Mehh blackberry step aside for android

i've just got the invitation to use it ,installed it and it sends to iphone but not receiving
Hi i bought a tmobile hd2 and unlocked it and I'm currently using it on AT&T network. I already did the MMS settings and all that but the phone is connecting online on its own. I would have the phone in my pocket or just on the table and when i pick it up to use it ill find it connected. I already downloaded No Data program. But I didn't disable Media net coz I can't send or receive MMS without it. The phone shouldn't connect online on its own (it does only when MMS is being sent or received). I'm running stock ROM. Can anyone help me plz figure this out.

Did you go into the weather settings and uncheck for it to download automaticlly?
There's a bunch of different apps/processes on this phone that will auto-update and turn on the data connection whenever they're set to. Weather, twitter, stocks, etc, plus anything you might have installed since with auto-updating. For example, Google Latitude can login to update your position even if you're not actively using google maps.
I found out that when i go to data services, facebook is set to ON. so do u think thats whats causing it to connect? when it connects it will stay connected till i manually discconect it. Do u think if i go back and enable media net from No Data it will start connecting again? The reason I had it on coz I synced my contacts with their facebook profiles to ge their facebook pics as contact pics.

Yup that is most likely your problem. Go into the settings for your FB updates and uncheck the option to update automaticly.

you have to configure the market on your son acc. and download skype again.. the metro apps, i believe, storage the data in users folder.. i have 3 acc and in 2 of them skype metro App.. but i have to have installed twice to work.
sry for my english ^^
The "run in the background" behavior of Skype may not be compatible with multiple accounts using it at once. Make sure you closed Skype on your other account (or fully log out the account) before trying to use it on your son's account. If that doesn't fix the issue, open the settings for Skype and disable the background stuff. Then try again.
It *might* be possible to leave the bg stuff enabled on one account, but not any others? I haven't tried. That *might* mot be the issue at all. If you have Visual Studio, you can try using its debugger to see what the problem is (it has an option for debugging installed Store apps). That might not work with Skype though; it usually hasa bunch of anti-debugger stuff in it.
