Just found that IM is actually quite useful....anyone recommend me the best app for the job ??
(need to cover both Gtalk and MSN, yahoo etc)
which is the best ?
I actually like Trillian. Sure, it's $5 (used to be a free Beta), but it's got a boatload of features, is quick, clean, and integrates perfectly with Trillian for Windows. I can be using it in bed/on the sofa, then go to my PC and the conversation I've just been having is there ready to pick up and carry on, and vice-versa.
Use EBuddy, works great and it's free.
Xda app
Thanks chaps

I use this one too, but I really dislike the fact, that it changes my quick message, and adds "on my mobile with ebuddy messenger"...
Anyone knows how to remove this?

tried Trillian
Liked the look of it but had issues with it not letting me log into Yahoo, i could set my account ok but it would only connect for a micro second then diconnect, msn and google worked well tho.
shame
using Meebo at the moment as an alternative.
Also didnt like Nimbuzz much either

If you use Facebook chat it posts "on my mobile with ebuddy messenger" as your Facebook status without your permission. That's the one annoying reason why I stopped using it and switched to nimbuzz!

It depends on what you're after I guess in a client. I have Meebo IM, MSN talk and eBuddy.
Meebo IM and eBuddy have more client support. But as an MSN client alone, MSN talk is very hard to beat in my opinion.
Try IM+ and IMO.
After I tried all, they have proven to be most reliable and stable.
And have support for all IM services.
Peace

I'm using Ebuddy because it integrates all Chat Clients (FB, MSN, Yahoo, etc.), got a good UI. Had no problem yet regarding to facebook posts like "online with ebuddy", did never posted it. Only drawback I would say is that you cannot send files (corrent me if I am wrong), for instance you cannot take a picture while you are in the chat window and send it. Nimbuzz could do it (used it before), but its quite big (5mb).
well i grabbed my sister ipad today and saw that in landscape mode there is also chat
will this available for transformer sometime?
The Facebook app includes chat and if I remember correctly Facebook also made a separate app to chat that is also on the market.

Facebook text chat is still available in the Android app; left corner- 3 lines tap those and a full page menu opens.
I personally just use imo.im and put all of my chat protocols in there. GTalk, Skype, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, and many more.
It does not do video chat with anyone via GTalk or Skype, but if someone wants to do that I just launch the native app. Then I do not have to worry about doing facebook chat from within the FB app.

Thanks! I never thought to scroll down in that menu. I usually just use that menu to search for a friend and since I'm in a few groups I never saw the chat option below.

yes ido know that but i mean in landscape mode on the news feed you get chat on your right
I believe facebook has a separate app for ipad, while we have to use the ugly phone version on our tablet
anyone knows about a solution for the chat that scrolls up on the browser on ics?
worked fine on HC
Hello!
I got my android lollipop update on my sony smartwatch 3 yesterday morning. Since then, i am getting usual hangouts, whatsapp, gmail notifications, but not the facebook messenger ones.
i tried re installing the app, turning on all kind of notifications for it, but they just don't reach the watch.
Does anyone face this issue also?
turn off chatheads . I get notificaions from facebook messenger only when chatheads is off.
I know that Facebook for Android isn't the best app from Google play, but I have a very active Facebook page and I need to recieve notifications all the time. The problem is, Facebook and messenger take up 0.5gb of ram just for being idle and I really don't like that.
I have tried using metal for Facebook and Twitter but it seems like I can't recieve any notifications - I have the auto refresh set to 5 mins but nothing happens.
Do you think Facebook and messenger on s7 is a problem like on other Android phones and I need to find an alternative or I should just keep them there if I need them?
I've had many issues with facebook app and finally after draining my battery 60% over night I uninstalled it.
mybe you have battery saver options set to disable facebook.
I configured my fb account to send me mails if there are some messages or events.

Facebook and messenger eat a lot of resources in some users, including me. So, you can use MaterialF-book. little app with little ram usage
Is there such a thing?

I use substratem to theme to black, or you can use any number of other Gmail compatible apps that do black mode.

There are a number of email apps that will sync with gmail. I am sure that a black mode will be coming to gmail. Google has already updated several of their apps recently to include a dark mode.
