Cannot Login into MSN or AIM using Stock IM Client using non TMobile EDGE Service

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.

Don't see it through Android Market, but if I search in AppBrain's market and then click the "Market" link, it takes me to it correctly in Android Market.
I don't need to use it, so didn't try installing, but usually when I can only get to it via AppBrain, it means the app is marked as being not compatible for some reason. Perhaps because the TF lacks cell capabilities?

Thanks for the suggestion of Appbrain. It did identify the app, however when I clicked on install i was advised "app could not be found". Looks like Asus/Google blocked it to try and stop people using their [WiFi] tablets as phones. Effin greedy telecoms. I already pay one cell bill so why should i pay a second to use my number?

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it won't work. The setup has a problem with configuring the voicemail settings as it can't communicate with the tmobile network. Additionally, when i try to call,one of my contacts, it can't do that as their is no dialler on my tab. Maybe if I install groove ip then it may work?

By itself it only works for texting. I use it with Groove ip and it works fine...ish.

You can get Skype for the Transformer. Although I prefer Google Voice to Skype.

Multiple Google Voice accounts?

so basically i want to use two google voice accounts to text from on my phone. I've tried editing the .apk but the recompiled apk force closes. Can anyone help me try to get this to work? Anytips? I'm just trying to basically install the same app twice and have it use diff. db files.

I'd be very interested in that as well.

You'd have to do more than installing it twice. It would have to be re-written.

Well yeah I know that. You can't install the same app twice with out modifications to it. Then It would have to use a diff.Db for the account info. This is my first time messing with an apk so I have no idea how to make this work

How do you make it not? I tried using Google Voice, but it did it automatically and it took forever to revert.

Titanium Backup (paid version only maybe?) has profiles to load different user data files for an app. You'd have to switch back and forth though. It would probably be easiest to try keeping a web browser logged into Google Voice your second account, setting the user agent to a desktop.
Or just use a second browser app only for this. You won't get instant notifications of incoming texts, but that's about all you can do for now. I don't see Google adding anything like this to the service, honestly.

i think the idea is to have the instant notifications. I too have been looking for a solution to this problem for some time. i use multiple voice lines for work, one for hiring/recruiting and one for customers that i tell them is my "personal cell"
i thought the best solution would be to have two voice apks installed but i'm not finding a way to do that.

Couldn't you just set up the separate account to forward to your phone account? You could also go into your GMail settings and set filters to forward all notifications to one account as well.
This would be much easier than hacking the apk...am I wrong?

Disney+ for shield outside US

So I got a cheap Disney plus account but am in Ireland,
Thought I could use my vpn and download the app straight to the box from my Google account but this isn't working,
What's the easiest way to get the app,
Ideally the actual Android TV app so it work well with the remote without the curser,
Any help or advice most welcome

VPN should work with play store
But you might have to wipe
Play store app cache or something

Thanks for the reply,I tried installing the apk via the split apk trick going about but the app won't work at all,
Are you in the USA by any chance,I'm reading Disney have complicated things somewhat and your actual Google account has to be the USA also.Also the app is tied to your device
I've set my vpn to USA and none of the US apps are coming up,
Will try your apk anyway thanks.

Yes, might try creating a new Google account with US settings just to get the app,but then I'm like,do I really need this Disney plus anyway,
Cheers though,
The apk you gave throws an error when installing which makes me think they're blocking by more than just ip address

Creating a American gogle account with your VPN set to America seems to work when you sign in to your shield with that account you can get the app.

Hello. I'm looking for a solution to get Disney plus working outside US. I created a new Google account with my VPN and it is OK but it needs a sms confirmation and I had to get my French phone number. Then I saw that my Google play was in FR.... ****
I tried to switch my Google play in US with my PayPal account but bad try
As it is a French postal address I think I'm still with a FR Google play account. I can download the app but I have an error message - > I'm not in the good region
So I'm still looking for a solution please!

To receive sms code, you could try using some temporary sms services website...
Don't know if it works in this particularly case, but worth a try.
