Oz Messenger and others

Hi there i also have a dutcht version of the excaliber and i have instalt windows live messenger beta on it but it keeps saying that there is a problem with my internet connexion. i am a orange costomer can any one help me with this?

I don't know what the problem is but I have the same issue on my Dash...anyone?

yeah it doesnt work for my Dash either. The first couple searches went through but after my Dash shut off, it stopped working after that.

Does anyone know where I can find the latest binary for WLM?

IM Client
Hello again all, I was wondering what program everyone is using for instant messaging? I'm using the one that came bundled with my t-mo dash but I just don't like it. Anyone have any suggetions?

You might as well do a search or take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290153&highlight=

I'm using Agile Messanger and I'm absolutely satisfied.

i am using the new skype. it works good with wifi and chatting also works with gprs after you once connected via wifi, the first time.

There is a new one that does them all (AIM, MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, ICQ, and Jabber) that is currently free and Java based. I quit using IM+ (which I paid for) and am using it exclusively. Currently the beta testing is closed while I think they upgrade their servers, but should open up again shortly I think).
It is supposed to be for the crackberries, but works great on my Dash and K-Jam:

Octro: www.octro.com
Free during beta. Big thing about it is it does Google Talk (VOIP) over 3g or even just 1x speeds.
Also does IM with GTalk, AIM, Y!, MSN and ICQ. It has a nice today plugin, customized away messages and auto-login/logout.

Works on my Excalibur and Blackjack..

I find Octro little bit strange as I don't see all of my contacts there and also Octro does not download the "nicknames" from ICQ server so I see only their IDs

Anyone know where I can get the OzInstantMessenger cab?

Agile Messenger is all you'll need. There are some annoying bugs here and there, but for the features it has, I believe it is the best option out there.

Wow, I have been using Octro for Gtalk but I had no idea that they also supported Y! and MSN! Is this a a new feature? I just updated mine like 3 weeks ago. That's wonderful (makes my paid version of IM+ looks positively lame).
Edit: Ahh, I am running v1.0 and v1.01 onwards added support for multiple chat clients. How fantastic!

it used to be until they unleashed that crazy pricing scheme. Plus, I get errors on staturp from it. It's never been the most stable either.

1.03 just came out about 3 days ago. It now adds vibration to the smartphone edition (which was lacking). It enables automatically in the "meeting" profile, etc.
such a great app. I'm hoping they add some SMS relay to the system too to save battery life (like Verichat had)...

McHale, did you have to do anything special to get JiveTalk running on your Dash or KJam. What version did you install? I am wanting to load this on my P3600 if at all possible, but I am getting java errors.
Thanks,
Shawn

I would also like to know how you got Jive Talk on the Dash. I just switched from a Pearl and liked using it on the BB, I would love to have it on my Dash tho. Any info would be great.

MSN Live
Is there a way just to get MSN Live from WM6 into WM5? Does anyone has it that could share it?

Awesome New Facebook App

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379
Great app. Using is with rose rom 1.7 works perfectly. When installing it comes up with an error that it was designed for a previous version of windows mobile, but it installs into the start menu/programs folder and just works perfectly.

I installed it this morning. Works great. The thing I like most is the phone number feature.
The one thing I don';t like is when you are deep into a list it takes a bit to get back to choosing the other menus.

i was going to post this a while ago! stupid job got in the way. it is pretty sweet.

this is a awsome program!! the only thing missing is the chat feature...not complaining just sayin lol...anyways props to whoever made this possible!

this app is so nice..installs flawlessly...
by chance is there a my space mobile app for windows mobile phones yet

SkyBook is better i think,this facebook app is slow SkyBook isnt atleast on the S62X.

well it probably isnt i had it on my S621 with ton apps installed on phone i hard reset my phone 2 days ago and finally got my S621 running tons apps like its got nothing on it, WM can get slow sometimes if u add too much random stuff onto it, i still think skybook is a little better tho program setup wise, pocket pc verson works like a charm (skybook)

Thanks for the heads up. Installed the new MS Facebook app on my HTC s620 and it works great, even with my Tzones data plan.

So you mean the other facebook app not skybook ?

Override HTC SMS with WM SMS?

The question I have is that when clicking on the message preview or when clicking on "Send Message" from the contact details screen, is there a way to default to using the WM messaging instead of HTC's? I much prefer the threading of WM as it's quicker and not sluggish. My sig has my current phone specs.
Thanks!

Give this cab a try, I think it's what you're looking for...it disables the HTC SMS interface. You'll still have the "messaging" tab in TF3D/Sense, but when you select a message on that tab, it will go straight to the WM interface.

Thanks for the advice. I installed the .cab and did a soft reset but it's still popping up with the HTC SMS interface for messages
-Not sure if the NGR ROM is preventing the .cab from working.

That's possible, I'm honestly just running the stock tmo ROM (6.1), so the issue could just be 6.1 vs 6.5. I have seen other cabs on here that do the same thing, they might be 6.5-compatible. I don't have any of the others anymore or I'd just post them here for you. I'm pretty sure I found them just by searching "disable HTC SMS"

Would also be interested in getting the original Winmo interface working for 6.5, the sense messaging app is craptastic!

Still haven't had any luck with this yet. I tried installing the Zeyene cab but that didn't fix anything. I then installed the SMS cab that NRG provides with his ROM, but that's just a different skin and was just as slow as the HTC SMS.

Yeah, that's the other one I've used, and I know it works on 6.1, but I can't say for 6.5...either the HTC messaging module is different in 6.5, or just accessed differently by the system.

Well Zeyeene claims to be for 2.5. I've got a registry editor on my phone so if anyone knows a registry fix for this then by all means, do tell

Just checking to see if anyone's thought up anything on this yet.

I like Windows Mobile, and I like TouchFlo3D. However, I do not like that fact that the built in HTC SMS is slow as dirt. Any time I try and message someone with the HTC sms it makes my phone crawl. When I use the WM version it works much faster and I like the way it looks more. Does anyone know of a ROM that fixes this?

So apparently I've been wrong with my terminology here. I believe what I should be describing is to over ride the manilla sms application with the HTC one... But perhaps someone more knowledgeable can help me out with the terms.

anyone figure this out for wm 6.5? the modified 47dd6acd_manila worked on 6.1 but it does nothing on 6.5.. seems htc changed the filename.
i hate this laggy htc sense sms..

Bump this... please someone.

with sense 2.5...
the messager is actually HTC Message Client.
an overlay of HTC Message.
i am not sure of a cab that disables it.
but i know there are custom roms that do not include it.
those roms have the same messenger as sense 2.1 roms.
hope that helps. somehow.
in the quest for a fix.

I am looking for this fix still as well...someone please update if a fix is found. Energy July 1 ROM Does not have HTC Messenger built in...I however find Energy ROMS unreliable--so it wont work for me.

The only thing that works for me is removing text messages from TouchFlo then creating a shortcut to the text app.
Not that it's just slow the send button is in a different location using the Windows or HTC messaging. Sometimes I end up hitting back instead of send because I didn't notice which interface I was in.

bump. what is the text app?

It is just the shortcut in programs for text messages it just takes you to the default WM text messenger program.

Did you try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
It's for the touch HD but tp2's quite similar.
Would love to know how to disable landscape mode in the messaging app I find the flip between modes is way to slow.

I would love a fix for this. I hate HTC Messenger so much, and I don't want to have to flash to a different ROM :/

Yahoo messenger exported to WinMo 6.5?

Hi Guys,
I'm just a noob as you can probably see from my number of posts on this forum.
Just bought my HD2 (Virgin Mobile) a couple of months ago, and am following the forum and website every single day for new things to learn/install etc.
As i am a big Yahoo Messenger user, i have tried different 3rd party software e.g. Palringo, Nimbuzz etc for yahoo chatting but is not really compared to the real thing and by that i mean (..and please don't shoot me) the iphone version.
I bought the HD2 for the simple reason that i hate Apple, don't like them one bit but some apps like Yahoo messenger are cool .
I like the things like shake to buzz someone or the interface of the app or sending files feature etc.
So now i am urging/challenging all the great devs in this community, can someone port the Iphone version of Yahoo Messenger app to WM or design one from scratch but with all the features that it has?
Thanks in advance

Well, i'm pretty sure that application will coming soon with the same user interface as like on iphone.

i hope i can help you
try out the oz messenger, search the forum as oz messenger, hope so that some of the messenger version matches HD2. as far as I remember theres a lot of variation , combination and versions. try until you find the most suitable one for HD2 ..
best of luck

Thanks. Apparently this uses your SMS and not your internet connection. I have around 3000 inclusive text and unlimited, well around 1GB, internet plan so i would've liked to use my internet connection.
I think i just need to wait until a wm version same as the iphone will pop up, but i would still never buy an Iphone

the oz messenger uses date not text service. I use it everyday. It has yahoo, AOL, and hotmail (I think). this program supports auto start on windows start up, Background sounds and Alerts. It supportsBuzz, smilies, and auto sawing of Conversations. I used it with the touch (QVGA), Touch Pro (VGA), & Touch Pro2 (WVGA). seems to work on all resolutions. It should work on Data Connection & Wifi.
let me know how you like it...
Good Luck

Request - Today Screen Plugin for HTC Messaging App

Hello all!
So, despite the fact that I have an HD2, with it's massive screen and awesome internals, I haven't liked using anything other than the really old-school Today Plugins. Sense bugs the crap out of me, and I'm still not convinced on Titanium.
I use most all of the standard Today Plugins that come with WinMo, but if I'm using HTC Messaging (which I would like to stay with), it doesn't come up in the usual 'Messaging' plugin. Would it be possible for someone to throw together a plugin that fits in with the other standard ones, and just works with HTC Messaging? Or if anyone could point me to some helpful links, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!

Or, here's another idea. I use Windows Live exclusively on my device, and as you can see in the screenshot, I use the Windows Live plugin for my email. Would it be possible to mod the existing Messaging plugin to show results and link to the HTC Messaging app? Seems like that would make life easier.
