Hi,
I am really new to Windows Messenger on the PC but a couple of friends use it and we had a video link over Xmas which was great. It dawned on me that the Exec would be great for this instead of the PC as it has everything needed (ie camera and mic) built in. However, when I got it working with MSN Messenger I found I could only do text messaging. Is this correct and if so is there any way round it? It seems rather stupid to have all the hardware but not be able to achieve this.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a stupid question

as far as i aware it is not yet possible to have a "webcam chat" over mobile messenger.....as for the mic.....windows live mobile messenger will let you send voice clips to people. i have found this to be very usefull.

are there any free IM's for yahoo messager that will alert you when you get an instant message?
mmmmm Instant massages.
Did you try Fring?
I am using Palringo. It's free and does some nice things, can quickly capture and send a picture (url to it), send voice files.
It also supports Google Talk, Hotmail (i think?).
goto beejive.com and try jivetalk. its a little buggy alpha but still pretty good.
the best one is Agile. it does all the messaging services, it has been around a LONG time, no bugs, very trimmed down but supports video, voice, and it's free...here's a link: http://www.agilemobile.com/
later

no, that's what girlfriends are for.
Agile is not free it is $40

i must have downloaded an already regg'ed CAB file then, cause ive used mine for over 2 months.
#10, thanks for the info on Slick. I've been using it for a few days and I like it.
Best of all, for me at least, it supports custom status messages and "Idle" time on Yahoo.
Thanks again, I didn't come across it when I was searching for IM clients.
Id use slick but it has problems with away messages and does not play nice with clients such as trillian or pidgin. People dont receive your messages at all. IM+ seems to be the best solution. I tried jivetalk it crashed too much. Palringo was okay but did not support tabbed ims . My only gripe with IM+ is the screen flashes as you hit enter during typing. Almost like flickering. Slick or the others didnt do that.
But IM+ feature wise is very good, and has a today plugin for listing new received ims.
IM+ .Parlingo. Both very good programs.

my one gripe with IM+ is that when the person you are talking to is using the "official" AIM client it will randomly lock up when they send you a messege
i love that i can do voice chat over agile. it rocks. glad i downloaded a free version on accident, lol. works like a charm.

I've been using slick 0.38. I can explain to you how to uninstall .42 and install .38(it involves a reg edit). PM me if you want, or someone reply here if there's enough interest and I'll write up a quick doc for it.
On a more serious note. I am using Fring. But memory consumption is a problem.
Does anybody out there know if there is a way for you to be offline, and shown in your buddies contact list but in away mode, and then when they send you a message maybe it pops up a message on their contact list saying that you are currently away but if they would like to page you that the program would call your phone with an sms message to jump online and log into your IM program?
Confused yet? Me too.

I have uninstalled Fring and am now using Palringo. Much happier. The memory footprint is way smaller. I like the threaded messages and the ability to send recorded voice messages and photos thru IM. I dont use Skype so Fring is just more program than I need.
The title says it all. I'm looking for an aplication that could connect to my Blogger account and there to post pictures from my phone and text. Older SE phones (Symbian and normal) had this small application. I know I can do this from the browser, even if it doesn't load the posting page properly, but I prefer a small app.
I found Mobile GBlogger and PocketBlogger 1.3, but they both show an error "WebException" when trying to connect.
Anyone found a working program?
Thanks!
No application for this?

Try Shozu
http://www.shozu.com/portal/selfprovisioning.do?operation=startWizard#manu_27
try also moblog 2.2
or maybe tblogger is for you.
I'am using moblog and it works nice. With TBlogger I can't connect at the moment - can't find out why.
It is possible to post in Blogger with emails. Activate that functionality and send whatever you wanna post, via email.
Thank you for your answers.
moBlog can retrieve a list of my posts, but when I try to publish a new one it will always give me the error "There was an error". Also, there is no way to go back when you are in the editing screen.
tBlogger is for Wordpress, i think?
I know about e-mail and MMS posting, but I wanted more control over formatting. It is a good option, though.
ShoZu is close to what I expect, but it doesn't allow me to format the text and images in any way (center and dimensions), most important - the images are stored on their servers (not Google Picasa / Blogger) and each post will contain a rather big ShoZu banner.
The built-in Blogger feature from K850i or K800i, or the application for UIQ phones were simple and easier to use... I guess there is no other choice for Windows Mobile than to go to the site or send by e-mail.
TBlogger has also a MetaWeblogg engine support.
I also have an error when publishing but what I've noticed - my blog was updated even I saw this error.
I'm looking for something else too - those 2 are not my favourites...
I'm upping this thread, maybe someone found an usable Blogger application...
Hi to all
I've bought the galaxy tab10.1v a few days ago, I have to tell you its an awesome tablet
For now I only have one problem, I managed to install the whatsapp application but I can't put it to work, it opens but none of.my contacts appear
Any help please ....what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

How come there are so many views and any answer /help?

I don't think Whatsapp has been designed with Tablets in mind though I was hoping to use it when I get mine. Firstly are you sure you have got it set up correctly, I can't remember when I first set mine up on my phone but I think once I installed I had to put in the phone number I was using and then got a text message from Whatsapp on that number.
Again not sure on this next part but the Tab 10.1V doesn't have text message functionality does it? If not then I don't think it is set up correctly.
Anyway, lets assume that it is. The second issue is that Whatsapp syncs with your contacts from the phone book and the tablet doesn't have phone functionalities so won't have a phonebook.
I have a feeling that the phone version of Android 2.3 and below may store contact information in a different location to where Android 3.0 and above stores it so the app won't be able to find any of your contacts.
This is purely just guessing, you might want to shoot Whatsapp a quick message and see if that is the case or maybe do a Google search. They've had between 5-10million installs already so I'm sure there must be someone that has tried it on a Honeycomb Tab already
Thanks for your Help
I will look in to it and let you know something
Best regards

Look over at the whatsapp thread under the Xoom forum. I managed to get it working, but it won't run on the same account for 2 different devices at the same time (as Skype does), so I'm not using it.
How did you managed to do it?
I had no problems installing Whatsapp from official site, not the market, on my 10.1v after installing TB Galaxy 1.0.3 rom. I received sms validation, but never managed to add any contacts. Any hints?
Easy as a piece of cake!
Guys, actually it's very simple. I tried it myself and works.
Here's how:
Use the SIM card (mobile number) and insert into Tab 10.1 that you want your contact to see if you are online. This is also the number that you will be using to send/receive Whatsapp.
Download the latest Whatsapp here and install it on your Tab
Run Whatsapp and key in the SIM card mobile number and wait for it to verify
Wala... now you have a running Whatsapp!
Every mobile broadband card there is a number associated. If you do not know what is the number of the sim card, then take out the SIM card and plug it into a working phone, create a sms and send it to yourself and you will see a number popping up. That is the number you should key in Whatsapp.
NOTE: Because the number you are using in Whatsapp will determine who will see or will not see you online, therefore, I recommend either you inform your contacts that you have two Whatsapp running. One is on Tab while the other is on your phone. You cannot run both together using one number, but you can also circumvent if you intend to use it on your Tab rather than your phone, just use the SIM number that you are using for calls and insert into Tab to verify then take out the SIM and put back to your phone. It will still work.
It's easy and someone made it complicated. I thought so too initially!
PS: you won't be able to see your contact list as usual.
whatsapp is working correctly, BUT the contacts will only show up as numbers. and yes, im only running one instance of whatsapp.
as im reading this, do you mean that all your contacts needs to be on the SIM card and not using google contacts?
Whatsapp support mail
This is what official support answered me: "Sorry, tablets are not supported at this time and we have no plans to support them."

Try Viber, similar to whatsapp but can see all contacts. However, Viber can't seems to allow attachment of pic and clips. Anyone has ideas?
i found a way to use whatsapp with contacts, in a way.
Note my screen shot on the top half with names listed icons. (1st screenshot)
You can set whatsapp as default messaging and by pressing the friend icon, goes straight to a whatsapp conversation.
(2nd screenshot)
Note this.
You will need to keep all conversations and never delete them, otherwise you will need to get your friend to initiate a new conversation. But no big deal.
I tried everything else and this is the only way.
Hope that helped someone.
now the contacts accept whatsapp.
just set the default messaging service to what'sapp on the friend icon.
once your in contacts and press the contacts name, it shows the what's app icon as seen in the screenshot.
Works perfectly.
Update.
saving the contacts under device only makes what's app possible and only then will the icon appear under the contact.
Also. Now the contacts list can access whatsapp like it should.
Always get your friend to initiate the conversation and save it from there.
Transferring old account from the adroid phone trick does not work so this is the best way.

hey everyone
As Canadians may have heard, a carrier finally did something nice for us, Rogers released their One Number service, sort of a poor man's Google Voice, which is great for Canadians as we can't yet access Google Voice.
You get txting/calling from your browser, you can ring multiple phones, etc.
Any experiences of using it so far?
https://www.rogersonenumber.ca
So far it seems OK, however the equivalent Android app doesn't seem to work on the N1. Anybody have luck with this?
I'm running CM7, and when I open the site to get the Android app the Rogers site says
Your phone currently does not suppor tthe Rogers One Number mobile apps. You can continue to use the service from your computer at www.rogersonenumber.ca

Bump? Any Canadians Rogers customers out there?
have you tried changing your user agent?
i have been running this on my samsung captivate.
the app is annoying as it gives constant birthday notifications for all contacts from email, social networks and phone. even after clearing the notification it comes back. a bug im sure will be fixed someday.
the pc app is not bad.. allows you to send receive calls on pc, though it operates through a web portal using web browser. though not needing web page open to receive calls because of try app doenst make it horrible.
even though the app runs on my phone, i am unable to transfer calls from pc to phone as is supposed to do. but does ring my main phone number on both my phone #s (and pc) at same time! *as long as pc client is running, as it uses client to ring all other numbers.
this is super handy when i forget my phone at home but have my 3g enabled netbook in my truck. i am still able to get calls, texts, and contact info wirelessly!
DISCLAIMER!! - using rogers one number on a mobile PC/laptop will give INCORRECT 911 location info unless you are at home or the address you register for one number service!
APK files
Could someone please post the apk files? Thx
I get the same msg from Rogers, but I think it's wrong.
However, it won't let me access the files for it.
So plz post them...thank you
I run CM7 on my N1 and everything seemed to work fine for me. I installed the app so that I could sync my contacts, but then uninstalled it as I didn't see the point of having it on my phone.
I can now use a computer to text and call... but I never really do.

Similar here, uninstalled the onenumber app on phone after sync.
Only tried to transfer call from phone to PC and it works seamlessly (essentially PC client is taking over the call)
Never tried to send a call from PC to phone, or ring multiple numbers of sorts.
Free call from PC using my number is the best use for me (and I think the whole purpose of this service for Rogers is customer retention & offload traffic to the internet) but I am still exploring.
On the side note... I dream the day IP calling will become mainstream and appropriately priced, for better use of the spectrum, etc. (See the article on the Verge "Phoning it in: the dirty secret of IP calling, and how it will change the phone industry")
i was having the same error as op when the One number first came out
APK would be nice if someone has time to post it.
The OSX app is good, I use it to find out about incoming texts. However, if I send out a text via the Rogers One OSX app then my phone does not show it in the "Sent" area.
For those with the Android app running, does sending from your computer get synced up with your phone?
Nope, doesn't sync back to my phone for me.
