Octro Talk chatter - HTC Excalibur

its cool check it out http://octrotalk.com/index.php

You need to be a Google Talk member to use it. No thanks!

can it work on tzones?

From their FAQ:
Q4.I only want to use AOL. Why do I need Google account?
Ans: Now you can do without a Google account. In the Login Information screen of OctroTalk, select Register new octro.net account. Enter your username and password and select Ok. Now you are all set to use AOL account. Go to Menu -> Legacy Accounts and configure your AOL account.
Q13. Is your application compatible toT-Mobile T-zones.
Ans: No. OctoTalk does not work withT-Mobile T-zones.

No T-Zones compatibility? Screw that!

Well, if you would have read the posts before commenting, you would have known that the software does not require Google Talk for AIM users. Something I wasn't aware of as it was not a feature when I tried the software out before.

Oh, I guess I didn't read earlier posts... Who wrote that post anyway?

Oh, no worries. Some douche bag did.

At least that douche bag provided more insightful responses to the program other than "No thanks!" and "Screw that!" or other childish comments.

close account

Dear all,
I used a HTC universal and wizard, but I've sold them both. Therefore I would like to close my account, but how is this possible? I couldn't find the option under user control panel.
Thank you,
Pieter
You can either scroll to the bottom of a page and click contact us and then from there ask to have your user account deleted or you can just stop using the site. You might as well just leave the account and stop using the site as you never know in the future you may get a new HTC phone and wish to return.
You raised a very important legal question, & believe me you will be answered very appropriately by XDA management as I have found them to be very law abiding people.

200 points for this man!
This question was asked way back in June 07!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311030
It does give an explanation in the thread as to why you might not want to automatically download messages... basically you could suddenly find you are swamped with even more junk mails..

i am not even sure how to make sense of what was said in that thread. I dont see how allowing automatic download for html images in an email will increase spam to the mail account. at this point in the game, winmo is the only platform that doesnt allow html rendering by default. if this were true, then woulding everyone else who doesnt use a windows mobile device be flooded with spam?
Umm... pretty sure that my GMAIL account handles the SPAM ok.
I'm still going to look into this a bit more, but I have been super busy today.
As i understand what is said, spam senders send messages to accounts generated at random hoping some of them get to a proper account. The pictures that are in the email are encoded with email address it is sent to eg. [email protected] so that if you download that image the server knows that is a valid email address and is noted.. and spread for everyone else to send you a message...

Yes... that's exactly correct....except it goes to a server not an email address... basically the concept is that it notifies the sender that the email is legit, and adds them to the list of good email addresses to sell

like l3it3r said, my spam filter does a great job. can't tell you the last time i've seen spam come through my inbox. thats a none issue over here.
me either. It is a very rare occasion when I get spam in either my corporate or personal email.
if thats a problem we could atleast try to have an option to "trust this sender" or something to automatically download html pics from trusted sources
have added this thread to my subscriptions and will watch with interest
This is something that I have found annoying for a long time now that I can't just download the images in my emails by default. I really expected it to be an easy fix and that I would find an answer straight away along the lines of "...change this one line of the registry to '0' ... " so I was really surprised to see it was a much more complicated issue.
Anyway thanks in advance to anyone with the tech knowhow who is looking into this for us all
maybe its possible to make some script or something that presses automaticly "download pictures" when email opened... i have no idea how or if its possible but maybe someone can...
For Outlook on desktop computer this is possible on registry hack. On mobile outlook this registry key is not persist...?!
http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpressreading/qt/et_inline_off.htm
Maybe is possible on other location?
I'm looking for a solution to this as well. I would like the option to trust certain senders, at least. I can't believe Microsoft didn't trust us enough to give us an option for this. I would also like to have scrolling permanently enabled.
If you add the sender to your contacts, it will automatically download the images. This is the only way I have ever known to make this work, it would be great if someone figured it out, but until then this is the only work around I know.
i would like to have this function as well.. is great that my email mostly need image downloaded together.. when i got slow connection, i would like it to download all n internet picture together while it is idle. then once i got time i can faster read it all without further waiting for downloading.
thumbs up for this feature. at least have an option so that user can tweak themselves. no nid to argue about anything but juz let user make the choice accordingly.
DEFINITELY need to have this automatically download internet pictures AND turn on scrolling..... what's the point of having such a great screen and touch capabilities when the stupid email can't figure out how to show you pictures and let you scroll right?
HUGE oversight on Microsoft's part there - email should look as nice and classy as Opera does on my TP2!!!
UP !!!
I am still looking over this. Its really annoying and kills me. What a waste?

No.
Go to gmail on your computer and click the forgot password option, answer the security question and change your password to one you'll remember.

[Q] [FEATURE REQUEST] Facebook/Google/OpenID integration and login.

I'd like to see XDA logins be integrated with Facebook or Google or OpenID. What do you think? And, does XDA have an idea to implement this?
+1
yea, and more psudonymous collection of information which could arise in legal complications for XDA?,
No thanks
Hell, NO :banghead:
Why do people want integration? Can't you remember your password?
The less sharing between websites the better of personal data and information.
I want this, since i most often forget my passwords, lost a reddit account once.

openID doesn't require any sharing of data beyond the identity itself, requires users approve what personal information is shared if more than just identity, and would be optional for those who would wish their login be completely separate from any other online identity. many users already provide Google email addresses, Facebook account information, paypal account information and other personally identifying information in their profile. openID would also allow people to login using their own trusted methods, rather than hoping this site is never compromised along with its password database. check out stackexchange; they've got openID sign in done right. since its the future and all, I should be able to have /one/ online identity, which I can manage myself (without google or facespace), and use that identity on any other site if I choose. and I for one like having one less password.

[Q] contacts problem help...

hi all. since there is no q&a section anywhere here. ill just ask my question here if that is alright.
the issue im having is that when in the messaging app and im typing a contacts name (that has more than one mobile) to text, only one number shows up which i guess is the one thats labeled MOBILE. i looked at the contact's profile under PEOPLE and the number i wanted to text her on was labeled WORK. with it labeled work i cant text it. i tried changing the label to MOBILE, but it seems it can only keep one mobile number. nor is there a MOBILE2 label.
new to this phone and still learning the curves. is this a known issue that hasnt been addressed yet by nokia or microsoft? any work around? thanks in advance.

No, there is no Mobile 2. Microsoft points this out on their Windows Phone site, only 1 Mobile. The way I work around it was suggested here on the forum several months ago. create 2 contacts and link them. Then both mobiles will be available.

thanks. if i do that does it affect my saved contacts in gmail?
why cant microsoft just let you chose the number you want to text. not wer its fixed on numbers labeled MOBILE only. seems like an easy fix for them to do.

too many why's.
The linking is in windows phone only, and does not impact any thing outside the phone.
Not ideal, but workable.

too many whys? That was one why. Anyway. Sorry to be an azz for askin. Such a shame for such a small lumia 900 community to be hatin on noobz. Yes, i have searched online before askin. Anywayz. If you use google to sync contacts with, creating a new contact to link together with the old one will ask you to use google to create the new contact. After you finish and it syncs, you will have two separate contacts in your google account.

too many why's was intended to mean..too many questions we don't have answers for. No hating on noobs here...everyone has to be a noob sometime.
I simply do not use google alot. I simply do not like alot of what they do...my personal opinion for me. i use windows live to keep google contacts synced with windows live contacts.
Peace brother. To mimic the new Samsung commercial, " We're finally getting all the things we didn't get last year!"
