Which Messenger Software do you use?

Hello!
I am using IM on my Artemis. (ICQ, MSN and GTalk)
I have been trying different messaging software that support multiple protocols: Agile Messenger, IM plus and Mundu IM.
all those tools do not really work really good for me.
Do you know any other software i could try?
My main problem with most of the software is that the notification is always the same regardless if i'm already talking or i receive a new message when i'm not talking. (It should vibrate and play sound, so that i know when someone writes me. But when i'm already chatting it should not vibrate and beep everytime my contact writes something)
should be 2 different notification settings for "idle" and "active" chat sessions
thx!

prelude icq is good but it's only ICQ ....but it's really stable and fast-working, last version was 0.5.5.

i use fring its a free service.
in fring there is:
MSN
Skypw
google talk
sip
You can download it here http://www.fring.com/
have fun with it

ICQ is the main protocol i need, and fring doesn't support it :/

thanks a lot for fring link, just what i was looking for.

Nimbuzz vs Fring

Hi,
This is a new thing for me (yes, I am too late in this kind of VOIP service).
Which one is better for Android, judging for the client app?
If I read from the Nimbuzz at Cyrket, a lot of users complaint about the new version 1.4, Facebook got hacked, etc.
Fring also does not look satisfying.
So, if you are using this, which one do you recommend? and why?
For me, client reliability and network / connectivity are the most important.
Thanks for sharing !

Damn ...
I found that NimbuzzOut is not supported on Nimbuzz Android app
I want to use it to make international calls to land-line / mobile ...

calling to mobile and landlines works. just tried it. it took cash from my skype account
edit: i see. nimbuzz have their own system.

So, if I buy Skype credits ... then I can make call to mobile and landlines using Nimbuzz client, right? Because there is no native Skype client for Android ...
I prefer Nimbuzz own call system (NimbuzzOut), because it is much cheaper compare to Skype.

Yes if u have a skype account you buy skype credits and in nimbuzz justr login to your skype account .Voila.

Can you send SMS with either?

Nimbuzz says it sends it but it actually doesnt. havent tried with Fring.

..I read in the other thread about Nimbuzz that "it´s is always connected and it does not support push notification, so is draining alot battery.."
Well I used fring before, which was enough for my needs to have several account (skype,icq...), than I tried Nimbuzz and liked to have my Faceb. account, cool..BUT: the drain is real! Fring need much less battery!..but no FB

nimbuzz doesnt appear to have sip support in android client yet, big turn off for me, since im trying to consolidate messenger/communications apps.
sipdroid sounded like crap on my phone
fring seems pretty good, sip aim msn support and sip sounds really good quality, except its UI is ugly as balls, anyone know a way to skin it differently?
ive been using google voice with a gizmo5 number and setting up the sip account in fring and it connects pretty nicely for voip, its nice so far when i am home and have no cell reception and someone calls my cell(google voice number) and it sends the call to my sip client(fring)

I've tested both for making Skype-out calls. Both work fine. I'd prefer Nimbuzz because of the interface. But is it just me, or is there no dialer in Nimbuzz? This is the only reason I'm sticking with Fring at the moment...

I gotta say that I tried both and Nimbuzz was a clear winner for voice quality over wifi to Skype friends. Fring also has a slight delay in audio.
But I've kept Fring because of fring-a-ling (SIP calls) which work fine.

Does anybody know of any VOIP calling to international numbers for absolutely free for windows mobile. Cause im sick and tired of 200 dollar bills coming into my mail.
Thanks.

Absolutely free. I'm sure we would all want that.
Free calls to landlines don't exist. But what's wrong with Skype? The rates are ridiculously low.

I've used fring. My landline is much cheaper. But if you add up all the minutes, It becomes expensive, especially to germany and UK. It's like 29 cents/min. Thats ALOT.

Possible to video chat with iPhone users?

is it Possible to video chat with iPhone users? Or develop an app for andriod users and Os4 users???
Give me some answers or thoughts on this topic.
JBlaze -- Evo 4G

I think we now have to wait for Skype to release they're own video apps. AFAIK this was possible via Fring but then Skype had that whole fit over it & made Fring remove the service.
So at the moment, i think we just have to sit back & wait.

Hopefully they dont take long to release this skype app, i found the apk for skype 3 but then found out its not for video calls and it only works in the uk and some other countries.

you might be able to use fring to go between them, yes it has no skype but if i'm not mistaken you can still use fring video chat on both devices

Wow...I didn't even realize that Fring didn't have skype anymore...I have no use for this app now...goodbye!

They got overloaded by all the evo and iphone users. Skype was hurting on their end as well.

As far as video chat goes, I was hoping to use my Gmail account to initiate a video call/chat with a friend of mine using her Gmail also via Fring. Come to find out...Fring doesn't support this either!

[Q] Skype app?

Just a quick question, as skype is not available for the Galaxy S, can anyone recommend an alternative app?
I still want to use my skype account, and the credit on that to make calls, mainly to france.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Nimbuzz can use skype accounts (as well as a lot of others...)
I suggest to give it a try
regards

Thanks.
It seems like the best option, but can I make skype-out calls with it using my skype credit?

you can also use Fring which supports Video Calling over IP

I'm still looking for one that will allow me to chat via video with pc skype users.

Thanks guys. I'll give these a try tomorrow.
Why can't Skype just make a proper app for Skypeout, eh

There was a android version out, but limited to some mobiles, providers and just USA i think..
Dunno why no skype app is available for us..

Skype blocked Fring.
Nimbuzz works on SGS and supports Skype out... Few bugs but ok to use.
And that's it, nothing else for skype available at the moment

I use Nimbuzz but like others mentioned it is pretty buggy.

Searching will find 'com.skype.android.lite.apk'
Haven't tried it, but it is available.​

so Apple's Facetime is somewhat unique since we can't do Video calling over IP on the SGS

Thanks guys. Now using Nimbuzz, found my Skype credit, now testing over the weekend
Edit: Crap, the calls go through, ring, but when the person on the other end picks up, there is silence at both ends. Any ideas?

We can't do video chat using Google Chat? I'm surprised!

for moment whe can use iMovicha ... this program allow video chat also with client pc or with other phone with the same program instaled .. but , whe miss fring or some version skype for android

I wonder when someone creates a facetime compatible app (either on PC or android or any other device).
Would be great..
And why skype isnt able to make a new androidversion is also a good question..

Maybe u can try skype ive used that one
Sent from my GT-S5360

stuff using SIP is already out there, and more is to come. one is by blau.de.

try to use viber

Viber the best app, it povide free calls betwin andriod to android mobiles, but you need
Internet coonections both sides.

Skype , Viber , Tango ... are working as ive tried .. of course no video calling ,just voice calling..

viber is the best so far for me

Try Fring and Viber ...
Fring is the best in industry... It has Best call clarity than Viber or other VoIP apps... and its easy to add the contacts, chat with gtalk, yahooo messenger, msn friends... there are so many features in Fring... So i Strongly Recommend Fring...

video calling WORKING
I am new to XDA not an experienced DEV here .... but FINALLY Got succesfull video calling on galaxy y in here it has got some minor bugs so calling all devs... to help out.. we will make this device rock & roll ....

redphone is VOIP and works excellent on SGY.
open source

Use Skype or Viber.
In my case Viber is better. Try yourself and find which one is better for you.
Good luck.
