just wandering if any body has any good applications that are pretty cool or any websites. thanks
Jivetalk (IM); GC's Java Pack + Google Talk
for instant messaging: Everyone has their favorite client; mine is Beejive's JiveTalk for Windows Mobile, currently in beta. Sure, other clients let you chat away on AIM/iChat, MSN, Google Talk, and the like; so why do I prefer Jivetalk? 1. It's highly configurable. 2. It shows your contact's avatar (at least, in Google talk and maybe AIM); its interface is atractive and simple and makes good use of real estate.
Unlike the Blackberry version, the Windows Mobile JiveTalk doesn't let you tell it to alert you when a favorite friend comes online. But I'll bet that feature is coming.
About the only protocol it can't do is Skype.
I've sold my soul to Google, so when I bought my XV6800, the first app I wanted on it was gmail...native gmail so I can have access to my entire email history. To get it to work on a 6800, you must first install Java. I must have spent 10 hours researching and trying various Java clients before discovering the winner: GC Java Pack with gmail.
thanks paul. i have been looking for a IM app but really could not find one so thanks. and the java gmail thing is sweet.
total commander is nice too. it replaces the file explorer and adds regedit and manages FTP's when downloading large objects I always get my phone hickuping on me when I try to use PIE. for me the other must haves are googlemaps, slide to unlock, TCPMP (the free version similar to core player) and the HTC home screen (love the bigger clock and the simple on screen access to programs weather and contacts)
Hi, I need help!
I've tried many chat client on my mobile, for example, Fring and Palringo. But I can not send file. Palringo works very well but it can't be use to transferring file.
Can you say what is the best program to be able to send file and concomitant to chat.
Thanks advance!
you can use im+

Yes and it's a good one but it's too expensive.
$39.95 for IM
I used to use slick on S60 and it supported file transfer. Been using slick on my x1 but I havent try to use files transfer yet. You could try that, just google lonecate games slick.
I'm using BeeJiveIM and fring occasionally....but BeeJive seems to work best so far.
I kinda want a IM app thats finger friendly. But it's rather hard to find

today I checked new version of Fring(3.3.4) which has file transfer.It has real
file trasfer not just as a link! but I can not transferr MP3 with that.
Have anyone tried the new version on XPERIA?

Same here,
If you use msn you can even send offline messages.
The downside is that the font is too small for our resolution but still usable.

I would be interested in locating a mobile version of QQ (english preferably..)
I've been using Palringo.
Works alright for me, could be better.
Sometimes I need a soft reset for it to log in, wont log in other wise, dont know why.
Also, do the other apps make the Instant Message LED indicator flash? I know its there in the illumination settings, but palringo doesnt trigger it :|
I like also the EQO Messenger http://www.eqo.com/.
i use slick. a bit slow on some menus but i like it better than nimbuz as it does not require you to log a web server to use.
I use Live messenger and Skype, just as on the laptop.
I have tried fring but it wasn't quite it...
IM+ FTW!!!
I too second IM+. It simply works, while many others simply did not. I use ICQ, GT and Jabber protocols.
And skype for skype, sure, but it's constant data flow and thus constant battery drain. Good if it's cold outside and you want to keep your hands warm
I like fring

With a registry edit Palringo also supports QQ and Facebook Chat...
are using the one in the phone, wm nd it works really good.
hi,
does anyone know of a twitter app for wm that works on the x1?
i was thinking it would be nice to have a app like the facebook app (not panel).
twikini dude, works perfect
I use pocketwit
I've tried them all, and Pocketwit is by far the best imo.
Twikini is better , but I prefer PockweTwit.
pocketwit is free but twikini isnt anymore
I use TwitToday, it's really unobtrusive, simple, straightforward and sits in the Today screen.
Twikini is the best one I've used. Too bad it's not free anymore, but it's only 4.95 and you get a bonus app from the developer. Looks, functions, Twikini is great.
For 95% of the time I just use http://dabr.co.uk/ in Opera.
However for the other 5% I use my own WM6.5 Titanium Plugin (found in my sig)
I use pocketwit as well and i like it
pocketwit is really the best twitter app in my opinion.
ok. thanks for the replys
im trying twikini now and see how i get on.
when i chnage to a 6.5 rom i think i will try out the twitter and facebook plugins but till then the apps version should be great
thanks to all
Hey guys im just curious on whether there is a program like AIM for the touch hd? that works fine no lag. If so any recom...?
I use QIP for PDA and it works flawlessly on my Touch HD with Dutty's 3.8 ROM.
It supports ICQ, XMPP, Live Journal, Google Talk and Yandex Online.
greetz
playdo
IM+ from shape services is preety good as well. 7 day trial if you want to give it a go.
I use fring
it's free
it could be prettier
it support tons of im types
and msg double all my groups in the version I have
nimbuzz
try nimbuzz,its free
Palringo
Try also Palringo!
I have an HD2 (TMO USA) ordered, should come in a day or two.
Does the HD2 come with a JVM for running Java midlet (J2ME) applets?
If so, what kind is it? Any good, or better to use one of the hacked Jbeds that are available on this site?
What would I use with it? Probably mainly the Gmail java applet? Although one can access Gmail through a browser, or via Imap and the WM mail application, I have always found the Gmail java applet to be a handy way to access mail.
I used to use Opera Mini through java, not sure how useful that is now. For one thing, there is a WM version of Opera Mini 5, not needing java. Also, Opera Mobile is now very similar to Opera Mini, a version comes with the HD2, and one can download a newer version, and it is free. (Or--do any readers still find it useful to use java opera mini, on a wm phone?)
In any case, does a jvm come with the HD2? Any good? If people prefer using a different jvm (than what comes with it), which do you recommend?
The HD2 does indeed ship with a Java Virtual Machine...but in my opinion it is not a very good one. It's an official Sun Microsystems JVM, and I personally have always hated the ones made by Sun. I use an older Esmertec JBED one that I found here in the Wizard forums from back in 2006, and it works pretty well.
Again, in my opinion, Opera Mini is kinda useless seeing as Opera 9 works soooo well on the HD2. The speed between the two is about the same to me over 3G, though over EDGE Opera Mini is a bit faster because of it's server side rendering.
The only problem with the older JVM's that you find, is that they are made for devices with much smaller resolutions than the HD2, so the text and buttons are miniscule. So thats another thing to keep in mind.
Overall, I would just stick with the included Opera 9, and don't upgrade to 10 if you wan't to keep pinch to zoom as it is not supported as of yet, and if you REALLY need to use the JVM version of Gmail, just use the included JVM. I hope that helps!
Thanks, Ashasaur.
One nice thing about some of the Jbeds--the ability to create a shortcut in WM that will open up the applet directly (such as Gmail), without having to open up the java app first.
Also, with some of the jbeds, it is possible to hack it, so one doesn't get those damn permission questions about whether it is allowed to access the internet, etc.
Can the built-in JVM do those things?
As far as I can tell, no and no. I cannot make the built in JVM create out of program shortcuts, but there is a freeware application on the WM Marketplace to do just that that I use everyday. And no, I cannot make the permission messages go away either.

You mean a freeware app especially to go with that Sun JVM, and create shortcuts for its apps? What is it called?
No no, its a freeware app to work with ANY Java VM, including the built in Sun one. Its on the WM Marketplace, and its called JavaShortcut. Just like that, no space.
me, just FYI I've never been able to get any of the g-mail applets to work on the built-in JVM, so you'll at least need to try an alternative one, although I suspect that even that might not get it working on this phone.
Upgraded to HD2 from TP2 four days ago, really impressed with the speed, and do miss the hardware keyboard!
My 2 cents: it's easy to set up gmail with the built-in email client but I do lose the ability to search emails (somebody enlighten me!). I have tried using the java gmail app with built-in Sun jvm but no luck, gmail app won't even open.
As for browser, Opera mini is still my favorite. For 1 I have been using it for so long and really enjoyed the speed (and knows how to avoid all the pitfalls!). For 2 I don't have to clean cache as no cache files are stored on my phone!
But when it comes to anything requires a password, I switch to opera mobile. The auto-rotating is kinda annoying when browsing in bed

As I wrote, there is now a direct WM version of Opera Mini 5, so a jvm is not necessary for that. And it is different from Opera Mobile. It starts up much faster, for instance. The other option is the new Opera Mobile, v 10. Three different Operas one can use.)
By the way, pinch to zoom can be added to practically any app, with tweak apps such as BSBTweaks. I don't really find pinch to zoom to be such a great feature though. Easier to use the zoom scroll bar.
Regarding using the Gmail midlet with the included JVM--there is a problem with that! (See other thread.)

You're wrong on the permission messages. Highlight an applet in the jvm, choose permission settings, and you can choose for it only to ask permission the first time, never again.
One other nice thing about the Sun JVM included on the HD2--you can choose to install the midlet apps in either main memory or storage card.
The ability to go directly to the midlet app, without having to go through the jvm interface first, is important, a nice feature that one can tweak with many of the esmertec jbeds. If one can do that with this Sun JVM, using that freeware app you speak of, then this Sun JVM is looking pretty good,
Except--that so far I can't get the Gmail midlet to work with it at all!
Well, I would still like to know what JVMs people have found to work well with the HD2. Once again, I have the T-Mobile USA model, with the stock ROM (not the newest one, but the older one that came on it). (I haven't had time to flash to the new one and reinstall and reconfigure everything yet..)
I cannot get the built-in Sun JVM to work with anything involving the Internet. (By the way, has that been improved with the newer stock ROM?)
I use one of the Esmertec JBeds from here (XDA developers) for the Gmail app. It works, but not all the time. It doe not work for composing messages, as the text ends up too small and unreadable.
So, I usually use the built-in mail client. However, I like that Gmail app better, if I could find a good JVM for it to work on. (Sure wish they had a WM client!)
Opera Mini does have a WM cient now, for OM 5.1. I use that, works good. However, now there are two new Opera Minis--6.1, and 4.3. I would like to try them. Neither come with a WM client though, so one has to use java. The question again then-which JVM to use?
Also, with Skyfire no longer running on Windows Mobile, one of the only mobile browsers that can play flash video is the Bolt Browser. That also is a Java-only browser requiring a JVM.
What JVMs have folks found to run good on the HD2? (And please tell me if the built-in one has been improved in the newest TMO stock ROM?)
