Can anyone chat on MSN Talk app with no hotmail contacts? I can do it on Meebo with my friends with yahoo account same way as Windows Live Messenger on my pc, but yahoo contacts don´t appear in MSN Talk.
Meebo works fine but it's quite simple looking.
Regards
Noone using this can help?
Im not sure which application you are having trouble with.
Try Hi MSN its free and themes and lots of stuff available.
It wont drain battery like MSN droid by running in background.

I think i've tried it too, but i´m not sure. can u tell me if it's working for u with no hotmail contacts when ur logged into msn. Meebo does.
Does Hi MSN drain less battery than this one? Sure?
Btw i'll try again
I've tried Hi MSN now again and no, it doesn't show any yahoo contacts as WLM on my pc or meebo on my phone do.
Thanks a lot , I think i'll use it anyway.
Honestly man, just try ebuddy. I thought it would be crappy before and tried pretty much all of the msn apps.... they all suck. Ebuddy turned out to be the best one. Give it a shot. I'm pretty sure yahoo works on ebuddy too and plus unlike some of the other apps you can actually message your offline contacts
I couldn't send offline messages from half the apps I used but ebuddy allowed that. So give it a go and see how it is, I'm pretty sure you'll like it
Yeah eBuddy is great, but it drains a lot of battery Oo
Think i' gonna stay with Meebo, it shows my contacts' alias not email...
Thank u all
Since we are on the topic on MSN Talk, I think compare with eBuddy, MSN Talk should be more battery efficient. And, MSN Talk allows you to do group chat whereas eBuddy does not have this function for Android phones.
Are there any MSN Talk user? Can I check if you can see your own display photo? Because no matter what display photo I change, it still shows the blue & green man.
Try Nimbuzz. I find it in SE Play Now

I'm using mail2web as well, but I've not got it set for push, but scheduled sync.

Reno, what do u consider battery drain? I also use mail2web push and if I use my phone normally and don't surf for more than 2 hrs a day, the battery lasts the entire day. That's fantastic in my book.
Does your battery not last that long?
well i guess my issue is then that im surfing more throughout the day. that has to be why im seeing more drain.
i just use the messaging app that comes with windows
I don't think your battery drain is dependent on the provider you use for push email. It has more to do with the constant GPRS connection and the data that is transferred. I am not really sure about this, but perhaps the interval that is used to check for new mails is very short, so the phone sends a lot of data? Perhaps this interval is dependent on the provider after all, could it be that mail2web contacts your phone more than other providers do? On the other hand, it only needs to contact your phone when a new mail comes on their servers, so I don't see the need for constantly contacting your phone. the other way around, your phone only needs to contact their exchange server to sync when something changes on your phone in the calendar, tasks, etc. Why would mail2web keep contacting your phone to see if something has changed when the device should be able to send the message to the server that there are changes and a sync is needed?
not a lot of help from me I'm afraid, sorry!
I'm using mail2web as well. I have it set for push ("as items arrive") and the battery life isn't really that much shorter than normal. I just put the phone on the charger after 36 hours of moderate to high use, including 2-3 hours of gaming) and had %12 when I connected it.
Do you keep the clock speed at 200mhz? Are you using wifi or bluetooth excessively? My use was at 200mhz and with wifi and bluetooth disabled.
fwiw, I'm using Summiter's AKU2.3 rom "test2"
I think it's a no-brainer that direct push is going to use extra battery life. Perhaps you could set it to push only during peak times, which would cut down on your use of the GPRS heartbeat.
I'm using both mail2web's Exchange Direct Push and also using VGSMail's IMAP push transport as well. On a typical day I never drop below 70% battery, but I'm not getting that many emails either. The VGSMail transport does have a nice feature where you can customize the heartbeat to the IMAP server between 1 and 20 minutes. I'm guessing that the Direct Push has a hard coded or registry configured heartbeat period. Either way I'm quite happy with the battery life.
Does anyone have an easy way to organise contacts?
I just installed WM6 and added the contacts from my SIM to the phone but it has added them all over the shop- eg. instead of having one contact for "John" with 3 phone numbers in that contact i end up with 3 contacts (one for home number, one for mobile and one for work).
I tried to use a program called Pocket PC Contacts Synchronizer so i could reorganise them on the desktop but i cant figure out how to use it..... bloody thing......
How does everyone else do it?
i think you'll just have to bite the bullet and cut and paste them into 1 phone memory contact. i stopped using sim memory for contacts years ago. if you have them all in your phone/pda memory, they are readily available to be backed up in dozens of programs. right now my phone syncs with outlook, if i get a new phone(i am next week) outlook will just sync all my contacts onto the new phone.
the problem is that sim cards are only able to store one number per name.
i may be wrong, check out ppcwarez they have a section on contacts software - there may be an app that can merge numbers with the same name into one entry on your phone.
good luck
I couldn't live w/o Pocket Mirror - $$$ but if you have Many outlook contacts organized into subfolders, this is great.

Inesoft Address Book is the best in my opinion. Used a lot of contacts organizers, but this one is very useful and configurable. Easy contact search, nice design, contacts pictures, caller ID and, and, and....check it on http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=addressbook.htm.

Does it sync all that info with Outlook? I'm an Outlook junkie with 700 contacts - much of it is work related.
Yes, without any problems...I'm using it all the time, editing (even the pictures) my contacts in outlook and then, after next sync (auto sync, no no need to reconnect your phone), you've got them in your address book. Nice and easy. Same with sync contacts from phone to outlook.
Hi,
I'm running Donut Unofficial v1.2.0 + Google Patch (unofficial) on an N21 / DSTL1.
I have a real problem that none of my Google calendars are showing up on the calendar program. When I go to 'my calendars' an click on add, there's nothing in the list for me to add to 'default' which appears to be the non-synced local calendar. I have 4 calendars that I need to sync. I tried making a new one to see if that made any difference - it didn't.
I've tried clearing the calendar data and rebooting as per several forum suggestions. I'm at a blank otherwise - is there some setting in gcal that I'm missing - it's like none of the calendars are being synced with the phone. The sync tick is ticked in the 'data sync' settings screen...
Help!
Thanks in advance
Tom.
Try going to menu-settings-data syncronization-Google and see if it still has your account log in. You may need to fill out the account information again.
Note that you can still be recieving your google e-mail etc and not have it registered to sync for your calander.
Hi,
I don't seem to have an option to re-sign in to the account...
See attached under the data synchronisation settings.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom.
How on earth do you have dual sim?
Untick auto sync, manually sync calenders then turn auto sync back on see if that works.
This phone has dual-sims neat huh.
That's what prompted me to move to Android - Sadly, your manual sync idea didn't work - see the pics:
http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/tjrundy/AndroidPhoneCalendar
Any other thoughts?
Thanks again,
Tom.
Do you have any calendars on the account you are using? Double Check, by going to calendar.google.com.
You have default there which is a sign that your calenders should be/are syncing properly =/.
There is one weird thing though... have a look at my calenders:

}
The "Default" Calender is labelled with my googlemail address and it has always been like that, on yours it's simply labelled "default" which seems pretty weird. Maybe someone else can come along and shed some light.
Does everything else sync ok? EG Contacts, Email etc.
Also, mind doing a mini review of your device? where you got it from and how much it was etc? I've always wanted a dual sim device but they all look pretty crappy tbh.
Yeah it's really wierd... everything else syncs and calendars are definitely there...
So you're right, this default calendar is syncing properly. I actually quite liked this device - it's got dual-radios which means that you can take / place calls from two sims - you can also select which sim will provide the internet connection; handy as I live between Germany and the UK, so I hoped to have a decent (cheap) internet connectivity in both places at last.
Sadly this lack of calendar sync is a dealbreaker
I was about to pack this phone back into its box, and flashed WM 6.5 onto the i780 that I'd been using till now, but then I found that the Google sync for windows mobile only syncs one calendar!
There's a review here: http://www.mobileburn.com/youtube_video2.jsp?Id=7753
It's a chinese phone so it's not the world's best quality, but does work (mostly), runs android and does have two phones!
Surely it can't be a problem with the device though.
Like I said, double check and see if you have more than one calendar? Poke around on the settings on the actual google calendar web app ie calender.google.com. You may have just somehow turned all your calenders private or something.
Same problem!
Any good new guys?
I've got the same problem on my dstl1.
All GCalendars aren't public but access from my account is permitted (obviously!). The only difference between my default calendar and others is that non-default's ones are shared with other people.
Thx in advance!
Have a nice WE

Got the new N1 yesterday and found a very serious issue.
I used Hero before. When I set the POP3 email setting, I can limit the download size of each email (e.g. 10k). This is very good, as sometimes I have big attachments, which I will not download to my phone.
However, for N1, when I set the POP3 email a/c, there's no such size limit setting I need to download all emails (with all attachments). This will be a big issue, as I'm not using unlimited data plan.
IS there any app or method to set the email size limit?

Hi guys,
Try out K-9 email client. It might have that option but i'm not sure. They say it's the best but I didn't like it much though :S

Email size in K-9 or N1 client
All incoming emails (empty, without attachments) are a minimum 0.2MB. This is causing havoc to my data plan. I have compared data usage for K-9 and regular email client and found problem to be the same in both. I haven't found any threads to this effect and do not understand the problem. The same empty email received in GMail uses no more than 0.01MB. Any help would be good.
Anybody know whether the Froyo e-mail APK is likely to work on a rooted-but-otherwise-stock 2.1 Vibrant?
The Samsung-provided mail client is pretty unreliable. Heck, it might be worse than the Google mail client. It tells me I have new e-mails when I don't, and it sometimes fails to download mail from one account or another for hours at a time. I was having zero problems with mail hitting the same accounts running Froyo (CM6) on my G1.
Or -- if nobody knows, if somebody can get their hands on that APK I'll install it and try it.
Try downloading the Nexus One CM6 RC, and extract the desired Mail APK. I can't tell you whether or not it will function properly (and you may need to uninstall the Samsung Mail first), but that's where I'd begin.
have you tried k9 email?

Finally sat down and gave this a shot. Dropping the Nexus Email.apk directly into system/app (after saving the stock apk and odex) didn't work. Moving it to the sdcard and running something like appInstaller didn't work ("problem with image").
For those suggesting K9, I tried it quite awhile back on the G1 and didn't like it. And since it's based on the original Android mail app, and I found THAT to be flaky and unreliable, I can't say I have a lot of hope for it's future value to me. But maybe I'll give it another shot though, Samsung's email app is so bad it's actually causing business issues (e.g. costing me money); I think it might be worse than my 1.x mail clients.

Even worse issues on my Samsung Captivate and stock froyo mail...with eclair setup to corporate exchange server, I had email and calendar events working great, but now after froyo flash + minor [non-mail] mods, calendar won't sync pretty much at all from my company's outlook server (and yes, I have it setup properly).
Anyone else having froyo + Outlook exchange server problems w/ calendar? Missing my meetings is fun for a while, but it's starting to hurt
Make sure you set the permissions right for the email.apk. I used the gingerbread email.apk on a rooted tmobile 2.1 rom and didn't seem to have any issues. Also make sure you restart after moving it to system/apps and clear cache and settings in the email under manage applications.

Are you getting work email (and calender) pushed to your phone from an Exchange server?
Are you running in Vibrant or some other HW?
