Which IM do you use? Let people know why you think its great

Hello everyone,
I made this post to hopefully help people with Instant Messenger and finding a great one for their use.
I have used Agile, IM+ and I am now using Verichat which used to be a palm aplication but has now been converted for pocket pc use.
It his by far superior to IM+ and Agile in fontionality I think
Imov I really dont like the interface.
So yes I think Verichat is the best for Pocket PC use.
The only problem is that it's not free!
Which one is your favorite and why ?

I am using IM+ and am very happy with it; it supports MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, ICQ, Google and Jabber. I haven't used all the background modes, but for chatting, it works great; easy to manage the various windows; and can view contacts by group (integrated across services). I haven't tried Agile, though I used Verichat on the Palm before -- My understanding is that Verichat connects to a Verichat service rather than directly to the IM services. I quickly removed the T-Mobile OZ client from my device ;-)
Would like to hear the pros and cons of Agile vs. IM+ for comparison, if someone has used both.

Do you find these forums usefull? I am not going to go software nazi on you (its how I earn a living), but discussing cracks etc on here could well get the forums shut down. Not really worth it, keep it to yourself.

How is wishing publicly for someone to develop a crack (in a sense advertising for one) not discussing cracks? If you want to disregard the facts and post contradictory messages, keep it to yourself.

Whatever gives you a laugh I guess, a good ole' personal attack is always the best route to go whenever you are faced with ugly facts. Good message boards can be ruined by crack requests. Developers no longer wish to lend their talents to the boards, board admins can get in trouble (Depending on where the server is located), Web Hosts / Co-Lo's can butt in, etc... Anyway, this thread has gotten off topic way too much, so this will be my last post in this one. Flame me if you want, but I'm not listening

It wasn't a personal attack. I was just stating popular opinion.

Umm, back to the topic. I like agile, but it has issues with my Wizard. It doesn't work well in landscape mode and it locks up my phone frequently. I like the fact that all my buddies on the different services show up on 1 buddy list.
I tried Verichat trial the other day, but it didn't display my side of the IM. That is unacceptable.
I also used OZ messenger for T-Mobile. It has a neat interface, but it uses SMS to send and receive.
I haven't tested IM+ yet.

OK guys yes bakc on topic. I removed the line that bothered all of you.
Any other suggestions ?
Thank you

I don't understand this ??? I see my side of the IM after I hit <enter>. It's displayed in red. There is a short delay before it appears tho...

Yeah, I think that is an issue with your verichat install. Mine works fine. I had IM+, but liked verichat a bit more for some reason. Seemed a bit more polished to me.
Plus, I like having access to the Verichat Bots to get info if Edge/GPRS isn't working.

which of these let u click a phone number or webpage to view like on the sidekick

ok, let me re-download and install. I tried their WM5 trial download.

ok i guess no1 wants 2 answer a ? for me ive used agile and really hated getting knocked off-line all the time by the way does any1 know of a program to let me recieve an im and click the link that was sent to view

The funny thing is that by quoting him you have kept his original message up on this thread, where as now although he has edited it, you are now the one putting the forum in jeopardy... please edit out your quotes of the post that insulted you sooo much.

MCSE is the WIN! :roll:

bringing this thread back on topic
Agile Messenger for WM5 has been released in build alpha....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=248043#248043
download and install and report your bugs!
oh and btw....IM+ sucks! it's no better than AgileMessenger......and the reason why it sucks is because it costs $40!! I mean c'mon 40$ to IM...that's just wrong! Max I'm willing to pay for a PPC app for IM'ng is 9.99 and it better be worth it damn it! (and the 9.99 better be a one-time fee....sure if they upgrade from version 2 to version 6 I don't mind paying an upgrade fee of 4.99....but yeah....that's where i stop)

developers knock yourself out ? (or is it out yet ?)

Hai everyone,
Today i looked at a clip from a iphone with a great app.....
the screen looks (damned whats the word of this...) online translators says "bay"
anyway, i looked with the search option but could not find it, so when its already here i apologize...
the clip http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/348731/de1548cf/beslagen_iphone.html

Bump
This is pretty cool +1
Maybe we could integrate it into s2u2 or as a screen saver?

How the f***??? That's the perfect app for locking our screen!!!

u got my donation for this one

Wow! Can confirm this is completely SFW as opposed to a previous suggestion.

wow this is very cool.

No developer interested in this challenge ??

It's a stupid app that serves no purpose. Kind of like 90% of the IPhone apps on the market... No wonder none of us want anything to do with this crap

hahaha... imagine unlocking by this method when you want to do something fast (check what's the time, write a SMS message, check timetables, etc.)...
It would be like that:
Actual action - 1 minute
Unlocking - about three
And don't forget Diamond has no multitouch so you would have to do it with single finger. Have fun

I don't have any "bs" apps on my phone ( I have a touch Pro, if you bothered to check my signature). Maybe you do! I actually use every application on my phone for something.

What's with all the bashing in this thread? Everyone is a different user. Get over it!
This looks pretty cool and I'd like to see this on my Diamond, that's for sure...

I just find it funny that some user noobs (members and under) like myself try and stand up to NRGZ and Sergio whom both have published many apps which i currently have, and use on my phone. I side with them, they are spending their time programing way better programs for our abuse, not wasting their time for a trivial screen lock when theres a handful of locking applications out there.

just my two penneth!
this app is just plain silly useless fun! if it makes folk laugh then its worth it!

Well, you know what:
Those "very superb developers" that love to do IMPORTANT things, can do so...
But I guess, either they have a lot of time to spend (and they have already finished whatever they've been working on) or lack the skills/knowledge/etc (whatever, I dunno, I'm not a programmer/developer), so that they can come and comment very non-creatively on something that they don't value. But, it would be better if they just didn't post their negative ideas... Those, really don't help. If someone doesn't want to spend his time on it, then he wouldn't. That includes posting comments only with nonsense/crap/BS... (It would be helpful to hear professional opinions on why that wouldn't work/be coded, though)
Short version: If you push that reply button with an undeniable urge to comment on something, wait on it, it will pass. If you have something to say, it would be more than welcome. That's my motto. (I'm saying this here, because I'm sick of all the negative approach I've seen on this site... Wow, enough for moon!)
And, I would love to see that kind of app on my Diamond too.
PS: iBoobs was the same. Every guy that
a) lacked the skills to code it
b) thought he knew all better than everyone
c) just thought/felt different
d) was pretending to be a very hard business-man
shunned it, declared it was nonsense...
Eventually, hdWobble was released, and it's by far one of the most exciting apps I'd have on my Diamond.

Will there ever be an appless rom available

I just wonder...
Isn't the whole OS supposed to be absolutely customizable??
I understand apps like phone and contacts must still exist.
The impression I have is that people want the ability to have a completely clean app tray... I know I'd like one that is specifically seperate from Phone, Contacts, SMS, and Voice Mail.
I also wish I had a clean slate for widgets.. I wish all my ring tones were gone.. I wish all the wall Papers were gone. I wish the boot animations were gone..
I don't even want the "market" app visible.. I want the option to go into the market by hitting them menu button while in my apps tray and I not only want market to perform the function of searching for apps but I want it to be have a searchable directory for apps, widgets,ringtones, wall papers, boot animations.. etc.
It would also be extremely awesome if the essential codes for the essential programs were coded into the main code instead of these apps.. so that even the native essential apps I listed could be swapped out.
I think it should be done.. And I think a new repository should be made for a new market place where the XDA elite could build the programs and leave these other guys who are doing nothing for the OS as a whole but flooding the market place... they can take a f'ing hike..
You guys should leave them on the back burner and then give me .1 cent ( cause I am freaking poor) of all your sales while we head a internet market campaign aimed at recruiting all android users over to the faster more customizable base model with an XDA market place.
Seriously.. you guys could charge access to the market place and get the service going like one of those other services that bill your cell bill..
Screw those other developers... you guys making the roms are the bread and butter of what will make android what it is...
And any developer who wants to publish programs on your better version of code.. you should charge them a fee....
and then you should lock up the code for your customized version of the OS and take a decade to release it.
I seriously want a 10th of a cent on every dollar for my thought.. its a billion dollar market... you guys could take it imo.
And as you do you could hire more people to work to get it functioning on every smart phone that hits the market.
You guys should do it.. I need a cool million and you guys need a cool billion... cut them out of the picture and make apple struggle.. i heard they are going to emulate the android OS or something on the iphone so users can switch between OS...
F it... rename the whole OS "Jack dRoid"

Nevermind...decided I didn't want to get into this discussion after all. Please ignore.

omfg, that makes 2 of us...

Why??
What is customizable by a regular user??
Wall papers and widget placement????????
I despise the flooded market place that struggles to accustom a bunch of different versions of one OS.
I also despise the fact that the people doing the real developing work, are probably having their work stolen all the while others are just flooding the market place with junk trying to profit... not to mention the people here are the best customer service you can get.
It personally pisses me off.
If you guys think the pieces of the pie are in the right hands then either A. You are stealing others work and you work for someone getting a big piece of the pie or B. You are making contributions and getting nothing for it and need to check your self value.
Nobody is bringing me apps2SD,tethering, themes, roms, 2.1 but the people here...
The rest are just beating around the bush providing crappy customer service while refusing to even provide me with the option to change the way my dialer looks,. all the while providing ridiculous salaries to a bunch of slackers.
If I'm not correct just say it instead of trying to troll the thread as if its ridiculous to think or even partake in the discussion.

I see no point in 'confronting what you said, directly' since it's obvious you're quite..um...passionate about your view point. There can be no honest discussion in that event since the standard rebuttal is always 'Well you're an idiot, and you're wrong' to anything that's said against the original post. As I said, I choose not to get involved in a discussion of that sort.

X10/Android unpleasant surprises

Hi!
A friend of mine lent me X10 so I can experience (huh) all the beauty of Android. To make it short I was actually disappointed to find, that al least on X10 you have to be connected to the internet and create an account to use a simple calendar. I have never found anything like this on other phones. Also applications can only be installed on-line, no downloading for later installation :-/
So I'd like to ask if there are any other surprises like these of which I should be aware of in case I decide to switch to Android.
Thanks

I can use my calendar without internet connection.
And ''off-line downloading''? i really do not understand.
If you want to download something you have to be online.

@berbecverde : i think he meant offline installation...!!

That's exactly what I meant

You're going to find plenty I guess as you know clearly know very little about it, so instead of posting your false assumptions here, do some reading first.

Some sites offer apps that can be downloaded to the PC/smartphone and then you can transfer and install/just install them.

Give him a break! In time he will learn how great Android is. He just opend his mouth too soon...

well cut him some slack... he's new to Android....!!
let him us the device for a few days... he might like it as well...!!

To OP:
I see from the bottom of your post you are/were using WinMo 6.1. Unlike WinMo 6.1 Android does not have offline syncing of your data, in that way they are the same as the IPhone. I think everyone is moving in this direction including Windows Phone 7 so you better get use to it .

Sorry if you felt I was harsh, but still recommend you do some reading.

They say two things in life are certain: Death and Taxes.
On this forum two things are certain. Users will ask questions without reading the forums, and XperiaX10iUser will point out that you should read the forums before asking questions.

Yep, and if I was mod I'd happily enforce the rules that state that's what you should actually do in the first place. You can count on one hand the amount of threads I've started to ask questions.

+1 on that xperiax10user... Too much crap on here now to find the useful stuff.. it's a right royal pain in the ass..
But back to the OP's question.. Android is going to be different to anything you've used before.. somethings will be better, something will be worse (but mostly you'll find an app that does exactly what you want.. so there really won't be many of these!).
Android operates through google.. in a similar way to the way iphone needs an itunes account.

Well i have no data plan yet xD and it was so confusing, annoyinng,etc to found out that all my prepaid credit were spent cause of the phone, took me 1 month to find it out and fic it

Does the Google Market allow you to download apps but not install them with any other Android phone?
The Apple AppStore doesnt let you do this unless you buy/download stuff through itunes on your computer first?
What a stupid question...

Tasks and 8 days of appointments on Home Tab

I made an easy modification on my Windows 6.5 Touch Flo 3d Manila Sense 2.1 T-Mobile version of HTC Touch Pro2 in order to have two lines of tasks (opening in SenseTasks Agenda) if no VoiceMail present as well as all the 5 lines of appointments filled with (if any) the appointmens on the next days (up to the 8th), instead of just today and tomorrow appointments, opening in standard Windows Agenda, as per original version.
I attach an image.
In my opinion HTC Touch Pro2 is a fantastic phone, so if people are still using it and are interested in this modification, just give some feedback here and I am willing to post, in my free-time, on Windows Mobile section of this forum, all the details of the modification.
