Question about instant messaging - Vibrant General

I notice you can add instant messaging mediums under your profile and other contacts but when you goto click on them to chat with that client it doest do anything. What am I missing? Also is there a way to add pics to your facebook account thru the built in client?

I do'nt see any IM logins under the standard Add Account screen.

Edit any one of your contacts, or edit your own profile and you will see a section to add instsnt messaging such as msn,yahoo and aim. Ive put stuff in there and the once done you will see under that contact an option to chat using aim,etc but iy doesnt do anything.

Trillian is releasing a version for Android (to round out the set with the iPhone, And BlackBerry versions). Maybe a program like that can hook into that information. We should know soon when the beta is released.

Original Android 2.1 Email Client

For those interested in original client available in "pure" Android 2.1 - here it is!
For me it's much more better than the HTC's one.
PS. God give us root to get rid of all that crappy HTC bloatware
What are the advantages of the original email app over HTC's version?
I like its look and feel,htc's one is too glossy.The same applies to music app.
Just try it yourself,it can be installed in parallel with htc one.

Is there anyway to get the app to delete the original emails off the server?
THANKS!!! it is awsome! Finnaly my emailsending works accross IMAP and TLS. With built in HTC email client it not works.
Np
As for deleting emails - don't know if you're talking about pop or imap. In imap you have to delete mail from trash to get rid of them.
Didn't tested this app with pop3, so don't know if tere is an option to "delete from server after download". But I think that there could be no such option to prevent user from mistakes.
But .... it's source is available via source.android.com... and it can be tuned, or feature can be requested.
Thanks, sorted my mail sending across SSL.
The stock HTC mail app is eating up the memory. After 3 days, I had 30 MB of mail data, and erasing all Accounts did not helped. The 30 MB was still there, so I had to make a Factory Reset. Thanks for this app!!
Thanks for this.
Does this app allow searching of emails, in particular Exchange?
I noticed, or haven't found, the search feature for the HTC Mail app :/
This works great on Legend, nice to see a bit of stock Eclair.

I would love to have this feature! I understand WinMob does this on exchange 2007...
I think I overlooked the obvious, pressing the search button!
Didn't give me results for my search, going to look into the number of emails the phone has access to, either copied to phone or on the server. I suspect the string I searched for was too far in the past.
[edit] Shame, only searches sender names and subject line :/
So, i installed this on my incredible and configured it to work with my office exchange account... set it up as push, and it never updated... went into the sync settings and it was in there, but was showing that it wasn't set to auto sync and i couldn't get it to sync from there.. originally when i first set it up, it was able to connect and download my past emails, but nothing after that.. I know i'm in the desire section of the site, so it may just be that ti's not gunna work on my Incredible right now, but i was wondering if root is required to use this?

don't know if i understood you correctly but i can search my exchange 2007 mail from my phone...
just open htc mail app and than press the hardware search button...type what you want to search and that's it...
thanks alot, this is so much better than sense's version, actually so much stock android 2.2 stuff is better than sense i'm thinking of rooting for 2.2
This force closes when I have an email with an attachment in my inbox, really annoying.
Does it require root?
Does this application require root access or can I install it even if the phone is unrooted? Another question -- Does this get me the combined inbox?

[Q] email app of samsung

hi all,
I can't seem to be able to use this app properly, especially for my hotmail... and we can't remove accounts, can we? HAHA.
it's like my hotmail reads 143/258, but i can't see the 143 new emails!
i keep getting stuck at end of july. I tried deleting some emails to see if it is a space limitation problem, but to no avail...
any idea anyone? or anyone has a better windows live hotmail app?
Bump.. And I can't view my junk folder from this app.

Multiple Accounts on vibrant

I have to emails one is my school g mail the other my personal gmail. I used to have the school one forward messages to the other but that turned into a hassle. I was just wondering if there's anyway to easily switch from one email to the other. Like if there was a widget or something.
Thanks!

I guess you can use the gmail client for one account and configure the email client to get mails from other gmail account. I use both gmail(thru gmail client) and yahoo mail using the email client. Also I see options in email client to configure more than one account, but haven't tried it. I do not want a combined inbox for more than one account as it will be kinda messy. But you can explore that option too.

I know how to do this that isn't the problem. My problem is when I get an email I don't automatically which email I'm getting it too. I have to choose the account. I just wish there was a way to separate it right off the bat. Instead of having to go through settings-accounts-email 1/email 2.
Maybe its just wish full thinking.

Yeah, sorry but there's no way to do that. I think there was on 2.2 when I had a Nexus One but I can't remember. Or you could try Gmail Pop Up on the market.

I people disappoint me...
Google app for main account.
Exchange ActiveSync for the second google account.
Google "Google Sync"
Vibrant can manage multiple exchange accounts, so it will work even if you have another exchange account set up.
HTH!

Search the market for gmail unread count. Its a widget you can add to your desktop that looks like an icon for gmail and will show the number of emails you have unread for any and ever gmail account set up on your phone. Its very stable and quite customizeable. I have a diff color icon for each of my 3 accounts and it makes keeping track of unread mails and accessing the specific account I want very very easy.

Im not sure if this is what you want. But I also have two gmail accounts, and one quick way for me to go into the right Inbox, is I created a shortcut for each Inbox, using the Gmail Label shortcut, when you create the shortcut, it will ask you which account you would like to use. Then you can rename the shortcut for each inbox to whatever you want, then from the Home screen just click on whatever Inbox. I hope that helps.

Anyone have problems setting up a second Google Account? I've been trying for a few days and keep getting a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error. I've tried both on WiFi and 3G, in different locations( home, at work, out and about), and still can get my second account linked. I did some digging the settings and found the multiple sign in options, turned all that on, and am able to sign in to both account on the web, but still not on my phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Same issue. I was able to do this at one point but after JI6 bricking my phone and getting it back with ODIN I have never been able to add multiple accounts. Hopefully someone here has an answer.
Does anyone know how to set up a school account on gmail (my university uses the gmail interface but has its own log in portal). I cant seem to log in through gmail.com (on the phone and desktop browser)

Forwarding Attachments

I seem to be having a problem on the Atrix. I dont have this problem on my inspire or N1.
Using Exchange 2007 Server. When i try to forward oR send a email with attachments it always fails and says it cant send.
Again:
I dont have this problem on my inspire or N1.
I have had that issue on the stock email program. There is something called smart forwarding somewhere in the setup., I think. Allows you to forward without downloading the attachment. However I ended up installing an app called ENHANCED EMAIL which I use instead of the stock app. Also doesn't require my exhange password to unlock the phone (I can use the other unlock choices ) . It this app I don't have the attachment issue. The MAIL gui is much nicer. It uses the same contacts and calendar gui.
Im fact I also use an app called BUSINESS CALENDAR which is an overlay over the calendar gui that is much more like HTC Sense and looks vastly better than the stock calendar app.

Contact won't sync with Facebook

Hey guys,
Trying to sync my contacts with those one Facebook that way when they call me their profile pic shows up. But I don't see an option to sync. I'm running miui 1.8.12 with tiamat kernel. I know with other roms I had that option.

what VENOMENON_24 is trying to say is go to the market and download the facebook app. (dont log in through the browser) when you sign into the facebook app it will ask you to "sync with contacts" select yes and your good to go.
I am using the Facebook app. It sync only some of the contacts not all. I also try matching the names exactly how they have it in fb only shows what seems like coding but won't sync to their fb
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
go to settings in the facebook app and hit Sync All
For those that aren't being matched with their Facebook profile, but that have an entry from Facebook in your contacts app...
Go to the Contacts app and find the person you want to merge to the FB contact. Select the contact, select menu > edit contact, then menu > join.
Aside from a couple of people, mine synced up perfectly. I didn't have to do anything special through MIUI other than join 3 people because they have idiotic Facebook names that aren't their given names.
Some people use SyncMyPix or whatever the app is called to get photos to show in Contacts. It may be worth trying if you still have problems.
MIUI isn't the same as Sense. The social networking integration that's a part of Sense isn't native in AOSP roms. I think Facebook and other such sites are kind of lame, so I don't miss it.

Plain thanks for the info. Didnt realized after edit there was another sub menu to select join.
