I recently switched to Energy on my T-Mobile TP2. It's great and I love it, but it left me without the stock instant messaging apps that I loved. I've tried Palringo, Fring, they don't connect. OzIM won't work in Energy with WM 6.5. I'm just lost on how to get the instant messaging back. Some sites like Fring and Nimbuzz ask for your device, but if it doesn't display the Touch Pro 2, how are people finding a cab for it?
I just want separated instant messaging for each kind. I don't like this combining all of them into one gigantic list. Ideas?

Here is the ozIM app. I think it's taken from the T-Mobile device. Hope it helps.

I've switched from Energy 6.5.x to 6.5 because it's more stable, and OzIM won't work on 6.5. The first screen to choose the services shows no services at all.

Took a while, but I was able to dig up a link for AIM 2.0 for Windows CE devices. Works like a champ on the T-mobile Wing, and best of all doesn't charge for text messages but uses data.

link? anything? i just got mundu IM for free from handango and i have unlimited text messaging, but im always looking for a better program.
hmm pretty good. FREE. any way to switch back and forth from buddy list to conversations without hitting that tiny little arrow on the top left corner?

I use it on my HTC Herald P4350 (WM6). It works pretty good. I got it from Handango's Free Friday several weeks ago.
when you first log on it looks like its smartphone only, and the way some graphics display make me think that, but it has touch screen support, and works fine. though some aspects of it i don't like, i have yet to try the AIM one.
anything for FREE yahoo messenger? I ended up getting billed $13 basically for just testing the yahoo messenger with myself on the laptop for two days.
And that is using my own wifi and my own internet at my house.
I use Palringo (www.palringo.com)
It connects to AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ, Gtalk and it's free. It's overall a really good IM program.
Hello everyone. I noticed from reading a lot of forums that few people recommend using Palringo as the IM for Wing. I don't have a data plan, nor any text messenging. I only use internet at home or when I am near another open WiFi. How is that working out for you? Will I be constantly disconnected? Also, how does it work with Gtalk, Yahoo and MSN? Do I have to install separate clients for each app or Palringo simply combines them all into one? I would like to find out the answers before installing it! Thanks for any info you can provide!

How is the delay on this? The AIM that comes installed on wing is a bit slow in recieving and sending...is this more instantaneous?
Here is a modified version of the one originally posted. Much better.
upload that mundu
Does the hacked version work with the $5.99/month proxy workaround? What settings do you use?
Exact same settings you use as the non-hacked one. It just gives you a bunch of buttons and functionability back that you lose from it being so old.
for those who has palringo, are yall having problems logging on?
i did a hard reset on my phone and im having trouble siging on. i never had this problem before i did the hard reset. it keeps on flashing retrying connection. im using the proxy settings posted on the palringo forum. can anyone help?
Hey everyone, I am looking for a app that contains AOL instant messenger in it. I have tried beejive but it does not work with my wm 6.5 rom as I always get errors. The AIM app from AOL is also buggy so I was wondering if anyone knew another app that works well?
Also, I was playing around with an old samsung phone and noticed that it had access to the AIM client without having the need of an internet connection. Is there an app sort of like this for the blackstone?
Try IM+ or Fring (the later is free)
thanks for the info..tried those two but aren't really my style. Has anyone been able to get beejive working for dutty's 6.5 rom?
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

Does anyone know of Windows Live Messenger being available to download / install from a third party?
3 Mobile have apparently bundled it with their Heros http://www.info-resource.org.uk/htc_hero_with_spotify_contract.html
Frank.
Ebuddy or fring, personally prefer ebuddy, fring has a crap ui
edit: though if anyone can upload the apk for the 3 client here, i would like to take a look if possible.
i think Nimbuzz is the best solution...best UI IMHO.

I wonder if it's the same IM app that T-Mobile has on some of their Android devices, which is actually a google-made program. It uses SMS instead of data, and AFAIK, no one's got it to work on a non-TMobile phone/network. (Although maybe 3 Mobile has!)
I personally like Hi MSN. It isn't the greatest program ever, but it gets the job done. I don't like using eBuddy/Palringo, because you have to create an ebuddy account, the attach your MSN account to it. Yeah yeah, it's useful if you use lots of IM clients, but I don't.

The TMo version can use data over WiFi, but reverts to SMS over cellular conntections for all protocols bar GTalk. It is a specifically code limitation in the application itself, because back in my G1 days there was a hacked version available that circumvented this and allowed IM over 3G/GPRS.
Personally, I use Meebo.

Dave

I agree, Nimbuzz is better than Ebuddy or Fring. And it also does Skype VOIP.
Nimbuzz is the best i've seen. it lets you talk to contacts from several IM protocols, current release includes:
Yahoo!
WML
Skype
Facebook
Google Talk
AIM
MySpace
StudiVZ
SchuelerVZ
Gadu Gadu
Hyves
Giovani
-edit-
It lists all contacts from all the protocols you selected at the same time, which is awesome.
Cheers for your input everyone. I've been using HiMSN, I'm going to give Nimbuzz a go from your recommendations.
nimbuzz seems to run in the background, but when i look for it in task manager, it doesnt show up
can someone please backup the 3 WLM client with AppManager and post it somewhere (rapidshare, mediafire etc)?
Ebuddy works great.

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.
