From you guys' experience, what's the most rated IM client on Android? I'd like to get one that is pretty good (or very good) for all the popular IMs.
I use Google's Talk. Low on resources. Obviously works well with Google.
I use Nimbuzz. Tried it for Gtalk but for some reason it stopped logging on properly and my Google contacts stopped coming up. It works best for me for Skype chats over wifi. A much quicker and cleaner client than Fring which I also tried.
I haven't tried AIM.
What do you guys recommend?
Ebuddy does, msn,yahoo, aim,gtalk, facebook icq etc all in one app. i find it very good
Also check out Palringo. Nice integration
ebuddy I think! using it now as we speak lol

I'm using Nimbuzz.. Its pretty cool I'll have to try out Parlingo and Ebuddy
Meebo anybody??
Using meebo right now seems fine to me
EBuddy is a bit more stylish

Cheers guys. I'm trying Ebuddy right now. One thing that I already like is the notifications are not annoying like another one I used which used it's own high pitched notification noise.
used meebo but switched to nimbuzz, cos it also has skype. otherwise meebo was ql.
I've been using MSN Droid for a week. It was pretty much ok, I liked the UI, it have all the usuall MSN options including avatar (it's missing "appear offline" feature only), but I noticed that it actually slows down my Desire (When I am in application and I press home button it takes at least 20 second to load my home screen, after that everything goes smoothly). It was enough annoyance for me so I decided to uninstall.
Now I am using eBuddy for several days and it seems very lightweight compared to MSN Droid. I really like integration of Facebook chat in it. Only feature that eBuddy is currently missing is personal avatar, but it might come with future update.
One particullar bug (or just something I haven't figured out yet) is that after I recieve message the phone indicator LED is not always blinking. Maybe someone else knows why on some messages the LED is blinking and not on the others?
Anyhow for the time being, eBuddy is my recommendation for you to try.
Cheers
Anyone know if it is possible to get the native android IM application working on the desire? The one that was ported from the g1 and modified to work on mobile internet/3g that is usually included on custom roms for the nexus one.
agile messenger and parlingo ar the best until now, at least from the one's that i've tested.
I like Im+ a lot, used it on my Windows Mobile X1 for a long time and bought it right away after switching to the Desire. Works great for me, unfortunately no Skype or Facebook as of now
i am having issues with viber on my hd2, i tried a lot of builds but it is the same issue.
so my question is, is there any one using viber with no issues on HD2????
I'm trying to, without any great success so far. As of today I'm using latest Hyperdroid CM7 2.3.7 ROM and latest Viber from the market. Yet after some time using viber, android phone app starts crashing leading to device hang. And ofc the only way to fix this is a cold reboot rendering Viber unusable for HTC HD2 running Hyperdroid (had the exact same issues with latest Hyperdroid GBX).
Maybe other roms have fix for this? If anyone have success on using Viber on HD2 please let me know, thanks!
Used it for many months with no issues. ROM version in my sig.

Hi,
This is a member of Viber's development team.
@yamensaleh - What is exactly your issue?
Do you have stock or custom ROM?

I have the same issues on my HD2. My ROM is the typhoon CM7
Hi,
The issue is after using viber the phone aplication (GSM) crash on diferent custom ROMS. In this moment my ROM is Xylograph Redux2 HD2 v1.3a.
Please not that Viber does not support HD2 (and that's because Android itself on HD2 is a custom ROM, and we don't officially support ROMs).
There is not much we can offer you as help - you'll have to contact the ROM developers and ask for their assistance in solving the incompatibility issues of Viber on HD2 ROMs.
Hi Viber Team,
This is a HD2 thread and since you post here I assume you are interested in our problem. I know Viber don’t officially support custom ROMs and that’s the reason I search for help here and not on Viber’s site. Please consider lots of HD2 users who love Viber and maybe you can offer your unofficially support.
Thanks
Well,
You know that if we had unlimited resources, we would certainly happily attend to everyone's bugs. The problem is that if we declare now that we officially support this custom ROM and that custom ROM, we would have to keep up with all the little changes and tweaks that ROM developers implement in their versions - and there are many of these every week usually - and that would not allow us to continue the development of other, more critical features and bug fixes.
Our manpower is limited and our resources not infinite unfortunately It has already happened in the past that bugs created by certain ROM developers (thus colliding with Viber) were fixed by the ROM developers themselves. Devoted users contacted them in forums like XDA and together they fixed the problem, that was sometimes very simple, yet caused Viber to not function.
Having said all this, we are willing to take a look at logs of Viber from the ROM and analyze it, however by no means can we guarantee we will have the time or resources to fix it anytime soon
You can contact me via Private Message and we'll discuss it there.
To all,
We (Viber) are about to release multilangual support for Viber at last!
Since we know that XDA's great advantage is having so many members from different places in the world, we would appreciate your help with translation to your personal language. This means adding missing translated lines, and confirming the existing translations previously added by users: http://translate.viber.com
Remember - we let the community of our users shape Viber and device what it looks like
If you have any questions please let me know. We thank you in advance,
the Viber Team.
I was using Viber on BoxMax 8.9 and i had several issues:
-force close on every call
-every call lasts about 2 min 15s max
-poor call quality even with Wi-Fi at 25MB/s.
Would appreciate Viber development for HD2.
I just installed version 2.1.4.588 on my HD2 (Typhoon CM7 ROM). So far I didn't have any problems. I tested calling a contact via Viber and then calling my HD2 via GSM. No freezes so far. I hope you dealt with the issues. Please confirm Viber Team
There is a problem in the updated version of viber v 2.1.4 ...all sound freezes after receiving incoming viber call, needs a reboot....using tytung nexus HD2 3.2a ....reverted back to version 2.1.2 it works fine with no problem....
Any 1 else having this issue

@marqoni95 and @tamba52 -
Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling from Market?
If it still doesn't solve the problem, please note that at this stage we don't support custom ROMs with Viber. Running Viber on a custom ROM results in various side effects (sometimes total lack of functionality), but we can't afford to support all custom ROMs out there. We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more ROMS, but meanwhile - you might want to contact the ROM developer for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue.
@mousi -
Improvements were made (hence your positive experience so far), but as I explained above we still don't have the resources to attend fully to adapting Viber to HD2 ROM. We are glad it works more smoothly now on 2.1.4 than before
OK it seems I was wrong after all. I did try calling but I didn't answer the call. After trying that, it still has the same old problem. When I try to answer a regular phone call my phone hangs
i use viber with no problems it works with 2.3.5 but not with 4.0 roms , and they launched new version today try to update it..
enjoy
I use Viber from 6months with 2.3.1 and i have no problems. just updated my version to 2.3.5 and I'll see what happens

Viber
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber Development Team!
@Theplayernew -Using Viber on a customized ROM, may result in side effects. At this stage, due to the large variety of customized ROMs available, we support only the basic ones, such as CM7 and MIUI.
You can try to uninstall and reinstall Viber , or to find the proper customization which works best with Viber. Of course, returning your device back to it's original settings is the best option for compatibility.
Thank you,
Viber Team.
I remember Viber it was working good on version beta 1.0 on my hd2.
Now its not working anymore...i will try earlier version if they're still working now

As allready some ppl stated on this forum, viber version 2.1.2 worked well in situation when cm7 based rom in combination drizztj v5.0 lib sound. But atm there isnt chance to use your, in my eyes great product Viber, its more hit or miss, mostly miss with newer version. I know Hd2 isnt android based product thats one of reason why we cant have proper support from your company but would be nice atleast for Hd2 Devs to know what was so drasticly changed that newer version wont work. More bigger problem is in lack of devs motivation to focus on this issues also, i respect their hardwork on bringing android world to hd2 phone but i cant agree as many state on there custom roms topics that everything works fine while there is open issue with Voip apps on phone.
P.s. Hd2 miui roms also have problem with voip apps like Viber

Viber 2.1.2 work ok but this version dont work in ics.The "strange" thing with newer version 2.1.6 is that it crashes only if you accept and answer in a call.If you are the caller it doenst crash
btw i know that hd2 is not a native android device but skype work ok without crash.

that`s the problem.in hd2 original state is windows mobile but not android
In cm7/aosp/ics/miui we use the same kernel
In gingerbread with version 2.1.2 and a "special" libaudio.so file with voip fix we dont have problem.This is the fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15657585&postcount=13509 that is included in libaudio.so for gingerbread and made 2.1.2 version compatible with hd2 but version 2.1.6 work only for outgoing calls.In ics we dont have libaudio.so file but skype work ok
If viber team have the time to find what special "magic" skype have or what changed from 2.1.2 to 2.1.6 version many people with hd2 would be thankfull to you
We hope to be able to devote the time and resources for this in the future, but unfortunately at this stage we can't really guarantee anything
The "drastic" changes you are referring to may be rooted in the fact that we have improved our voice engine. We are continuously working to improve Viber's sound quality, by improving or even switching voice engines. Most probably, there is lack of compatibility between the new version of our voice engine and the API of the microphone on HD2, running an Android Custom ROM.
If we have any news regarding this issue, we'll certainly let you know. We apologize for the inconvenience
You might want to stay in touch with the ROMs developers - they might be able to help you out in this regard.

Temporary solution
After a few days of searching & testing, I found a solution that may fit our needs while waiting for devs or viber team:
Materials:
- ROM MIUI stock, here
- libaudio.so, v5 in "No sound with BT", here, v2 not work, v3 not tested
- Viber 2.1.2.116554, here
How to: - I use cLK 1.5 & CWM 5.0
- Flash ROM (check the ROM thread, system 160M, I think)
- Flash the zip of libaudio.so
- Boot and install Viber, do NOT update (tested, not work)
What works:
- Viber sms (as usual)
- Viber call (phone and bluetooth tested), but check "What still buggy" below
- Gsm sms and call
What still buggy:
- On viber call, every ~40 seconds, we can hear but the other party cannot ==> Put "Hold" for a second and release will resolve the problem
- put "Speaker" on will hang the phone ==> reboot the phone
Let me know if you guys find something (think of replacing HD2 )
---------------edit 1-------------------
I installed the ROM again (wiped sys/cache/) but the problem came back!!! hang and no sound
sorry guys, it seems there is not yet a solution
I had the same issue with my viber in HD2 as well, at Hyperdroid when suddenly I found an update at the Market. Then it was foxed after another update shortly..I clearly didn't get what was the issue.

Did you mean you get through the problem? "Then it was FIXED..." I supposed?
I did test Hyperdroid with Viber, either latest version or 2.1.2, but no luck.
---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------
Latest Viber 2.1.6 works perfectly on this ROM
no hang, no interrupt so far for long call, after gsm call...
I will update with further test here
---------------edit 1--------------
the test i performed previously was with the same wife network for 2 phones, if phones connect to 2 different networks, problem seems to persist
-------- edit 2: solution ---------
Viber 2.1.2 works perfectly on Hyperdroid 5.9 with MagLdr (fikred kernel r2.16)
Tested for a week with call/sms, before/after gsm call, long/short calls.... --> no hang, good sound
Note:
- you must use MagLdr (test >10 ROMs including Hyperdroid with cLK but no luck)
- do a (very) clean install (task 29 prefer, erase android,viber... folders on SD card, format prefer)
- use Viber 2.1.2 (updated version sometimes hang)
------- edit 3: solution for cLK
- cLK 1.6.5 DP (search somewhere)
- used with Viber 2.1.2 in Hyperdroid v5.9 or v6, works OK (the rom itself sometimes hangs, probably due to cLK)
-------- edit 4 & 5: ICS
- cLK 1.6.5
- latest viber NOT works on ICS tosti (latest version 27/04/2012)
-------- edit 6: ICS
flash this package (the one for ICS) and you can call with Viber without problems (tested on AOPK 40 by Xylograph and NexusHD2 v2.4 by Tytung).
However, if you accept a viber call from other, your phone will hang until reboot (as known issue )
Hi folks,
i have problems with Viber (2.2.3) too on my HD2. I use MIUI on Android 2.3.7 with tytung r12.4 kernel.
After the phone call, i can call through Viber, but the speaker is quiet. Reboot will resolve it.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi,
As we explained before, please note that Viber does not officially support your device yet, and that may be the reason for the problems you are experiencing. Here is the full list of officially supported devices: http://bit.ly/Hm5k9p
We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more devices, and we hope to attend to the problems with your device soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If it's a ROM issue (meaning - it works just fine on Stock on that same device), then you might want to contact the ROM developer and see if they can help you through the problem.
Regards,
the Viber Team.

I got a Vega primarily for its video chat functionality but cannot get any app to work reliably. The closest I've got is when using Skype v2.5.4.162 and running Vegacomb 3.2 build 9n Update 3.
It works but...there is a delayed echo when you speak into the Vega, ie. you can hear everything you say with about a 2 second delay. It is so pronounced, intrusive and distracting that the app is pretty much unusable - extremely frustrating
I've tried altering the settings, speaker & mic volumes etc. and still can't get rid of it. I've also tried reinstalling the app but still no joy. I've also tried installing other versions of the Skype app but, as experienced by others, so far v2.5.4.162 is the one that works with the least issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution? Does anyone have any suggestions? If so, I'd be really really grateful for any advice or help you can offer.
I did do a search on the forums and it seems that some have got Skype and other videochat apps working ok on Vegacomb - what am I missing...?
Many thanks
Skype - help!
Hi
Can anyone help with my Skype-related problems please? Happy to consider changing ROM or whatever, but really do need Skype to work without occasional Force Close, persistent delayed voice & echo problems etc.
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received..!

Sorry can't help you with the Skype thingie, because I have the problem myself as well. But can you tell me if voice & video chat on Google Talk works for you? Because with me the app shuts down when I try to attempt it...

Why viber's new ver's does not work on doz ICS v5 20 or 21??
It's working for me. I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Did you try uninstalling Viber, and the installing it again?
Hi!
It happens to me too. In the last versions of Viber, I can hear the people on the other side, but people only hear weird noises.
Until v2.3.2 it works for me, which is the version I have installed. I cannot upgrade.

Hello!
Viber has updated a lot of things, but has broken a lot of things as well.
This is problem with the application, not the rom. You must report it to the application developers.
By the way, you can use Tango. It is better than Viber!
Also the apps "LINE" encounter this problem.
I have the same problem with CSIPSimple, Viber, etc... (Aurora 5u20 and AuroraSP 3CE). Do you have any ideas?

Hi everyone,
I'm an official rep from Viber Media.
In order for us to determine whether or not this is a general problem, or a problem with the specific ROM, etc. - we would need to get more info about this issue.
We would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 (when you submit the ticket, please make sure to specify the link to this page in the appropriate place in the form, for monitoring purposes). With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it.
If anyone has any more questions/problems, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Thanks in advance
