Universal Instant Messaging for Windows Mobile Devices - General Topics

Thought some of you might like this little program
http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm

An alternative is Agile Messenger.

I'm still waiting for a universal IM client that support the vibrate feature of my Blue Angel.

well the market is pretty small for such a program
since these programs are made for all pda's with windows
and only pda's with cellphones have vibrators
maybe it would be made for smartphones with windows and could be portered

I have found the following websites with instant messengers:
Free:
http://www.shapeservices.com/eng/im/implus.php (Basic)
http://www.agilemobile.com/agile_messenger.html
For Charge:
http://www.shapeservices.com/eng/im/implus.php (Enterprise)
http://www.pdaapps.com/verichat_ppc/index.html
I used to use verichat on my sony UX50 and it worked fine. I recently purchased a Siemens SX66. I am currently using Agilemobile on it, but it keeps having its graphic disappear from the today menu. It also complains about my settings as it connects. Works fine, though.
Anyone else find anything out there better?

Looking For Free IM App For WM6/SmartPhone, and free SSH app

Hi. I'm running a T-Mobile Dash with Windows Mobile 6, and I'm looking for a free IM client that can connect to AIM, at least. I know Windows Live gives me Pocket MSNIM, but only a tiny minority of my friends use that. The on-board Oz Instant Messenger refuses to work with AT&T, and I just get error messages, so I'm kind of at a stand-still right now.
The other thing I'm looking for is a lower priority, I'm trying to find an SSH client for my SmartPhone too. PocketPuTTY, I've heard of, but I can't seem to find it. Again, I'm cheap, so I'm hoping for something free.
There's one catch to all this: I'm running a Mac, so EXE installers are no-go. CABs and SFX (Self-Extracting ZIPs) are usable, but anything more complex isn't going to work.
Thanks for all the help!

Welcome to XDA-Dev
Rule of thumb: follow my articles - I've published full Bibles and roundups on almost all aspects of handheld computing. Your question is answered in the Smartphone General forum, at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323654
Let me know if you need help in extracing the CAB file of any EXE installers - I'll upload it for you.
Oohh, useful!
Well, thank you. Your article was thorough, and (in the end) informative. I was aware of Mundu, IM+ and Imov messengers, and I was hoping someone had an alternative to them that was free. Your article eventually lead me to the Basic version of Imov, but the problem is that it's one of those set-up EXEs that I can't seem to crack. I've managed to find a download of Imov Basic 1.22, and I'd be willing to provide it for you.
Thank you for the offer, and all the help.
is there any cracked verson available for mundu

IM App
Have you tried Palringo yet?
Fring is a free IM app too(Just released a new version today that supports AIM). Palringo is pretty good too.

Since I don't see it mentioned, you may be able to use PocketPuTTY,
http://www.pocketputty.net/ ,
for a SSH application. It works for me. The file that you download while named PocketPuTTY.exe is a Windows Mobile binary. Just copy it to your phone and run it. Hope it works for you.
So regarding IM clients Do they all use webgateways provided by the Makers. Are there any that directly connect to the AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN Servers?
Not that I walk around wearing a tinfoil hat. but I just like to know where my data is being sent.
Octro Chat uses one. But I can't find any info as to if mundu uses one. If they all use it I will get over it but I was just curious is anyone knew.
pocket putty doesnt run on smartphones just ppc. i am also looking for a free shh client for smartphone (wm standard)
if your looking for just aim..this is about as good as your gonna get lol

Pocket Controller Pro 6.01

Anyone use this software with the touch cruise?
I have been an avid user of this software for a long time now, and it just seems soooooo slow on the cruise.
I was previously using it with an HTC Apache and it seemed much more responsive...
Anyone else have similar issue?
========
Update: I enabled turbo mode and edited some other settings and enabled data compression and it seems to improve the functionality.
Hope this helps someone else
I've been using 6.01 build 1256 on my Kaiser and now for some weeks on my TC and it's performing the same, fast and good.
No problems at all here.
I'm using it with an Orbit 2 and it seems fine to me, just like the Orbit, TytN and Tytn 2 I've used it with. The only niggle is that I use it to type out SMS messages when I'm at a PC but the word suggestion feature on the Orbit 2 (which seems to be a replacement for the usual Windows Mobile one), gets in the way a bit so that I have to type s-l-o-w-l-y or it drops characters. I'd love to know how to switch the Orbit 2 back to using the normal word suggestion thing.

Use this programme and Shall I again this problem - I can't draw down skin HTC Touch Cruise .
You can me him send ?
[email protected]
The skin for the Touch Cruise?
It won't let me download it either...you have to have a "registered version" of the program and have a valid lisence to download skins for the updated phones...it's not a big deal though, I just use the default skin, it looks fine.

I've registered it so I've got the skin, but TBH I always use it with the skin feature turned off anyway, it's too much window around the screen. The phone is usually close enough to hand to press the physical buttons if I need to.
I have got skin on all possible to phones but Cruise far from it nor and registered PCP Shall I
Can you please help me with Pocket Controller.
I just installed it to both Pc (and when connected the cruise with USB active sync) , to the device. I can not connect to the TC.
When I press Connect it tries to oconnect:
Please Wait...
connecting using LAN/WAN...
connecting to 169.254.2.1...
establishing connection...
But nothing happens. not connection at all
thanks
There are other alternatives like EveryWAN RemoteSupport
Do you think that a free tool limited to cable/USB remote control of a PDA would be useful ?
e.g.: the product referenced here: EveryWAN RemoteSupport, is capable of much more, but I could decide to make a free version to help developer community.
The product which is designed to work over cellular networks and wifi would be restricted to cable/USB connection and totally free of charge or time-bomb.
PS: I am part of the company making the product ... which is a companion to our flagship Mobile Device Management and security product called EveryWAN MobilityManager

Not to be a stickler, but I don't think uploading the skin onto here would be a good idea, since you can only get it if you have the registered version of the program.
EveryWan looks like the Enterprise version of pocket controller..
It looks very interesting, and I'm glad to see that there are people making amazing software like that for free.
Personally, I do not need all of the extra features which is why I'll stick with PCPro, and also the reason why I didn't download the enterprise version.

Modifying Windows Mobile

Okay, here is the scoop. I am tired of the unfriendly finger phone that we call windows mobile. I have surfed the internet and found some replacements for some components of windows mobile like the keyboard and etc. What I was wondering if there were some replacement components that replaced certain items in Windows Mobile without relying on the built-in components. For example, is there a way to replace the arcsoft messaging system with a more asthetically pleasing and touch friendly interface. A media player that kinda resembles the Zune software or something similar. Basically, all I am asking is if this possible and if there is such software?
messaging:
VITO SMS Chat
search for it in google.
media:
Nitrogen Player
S2P
you can find them in this forum.
awesome, I already loaded the goodwin apps like sms, funcontacts and such. I also installed S2P which is another good choice(Except browsing through artists is a pain). Now my latest is there a good fast replacement dialer for the HTC Dialer that comes pre-installed. I looked but could find skins and themes that replace the dialer but I want something thats a little more responsive than the HTC. Other than that, everything is shaping up nicely where I dont have to really rely on the Winmo interface besides the dialer, email and some other small apps. In the end, it would be awesome if someone combines all these modifications into a full on suite that covers every aspect of the Winmo device.
use paul de groot's 2d dialer.

Messages software

Hello there.
I'm very mych into modifying and styling whatever gadgets I have.
I recently installed SPB mobile shell on my raphael and I like it alot, however, it lacks a SMS handling tool. I've looked around but I seem to only be able to find one software for this "ViTO SMS-Chat" and I didn't like it very much.
Does anyone know of any other SMS handeling software?
The original handling is OK in it's way to show SMS in list and as chats, however, the skin is not to my liking

Okay... look here for all the apps we use on our hd2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603880
On Windows Mobile.. you can look for apps outside of the "marketplace".. you download them as a .cab file (on pc or phone) and place them on the sd card if you want... which out the box is unique to windows mobile (doesn't eat up phone memory (but not that we lack it on the new hd2 lol))
Once the .cab file is on your phone/sd card... in the phone you go to file explorer (in the start menu)... click on it and navigate to where you placed the .cab file and run it. You can save the installation to the "device" because there is plenty of memory and tends to run better.
To awnser your questions;
[1] Google voice idk, but im sure google will have a wm app out soon (if not already, im not 'in' google voice so dunno)
[2] Last.fm Googling around a bit i see they (or someone) released a windows mobile app in 2008, but all links to it trow a 404, so check out their mobile forums, specifically this sticky
[3] Pandora, just read this; http://www.pandora.com/on-windowsmobile (Point your mobile phone's browser to www.pandora.com)
[4] Incomplete emails Thats just a setting since most people use gprs/hsdpa, im sure you can change it, either somewhere in the settings or trough a registry edit
Though i just have to say/write this, DONT GET ME WRONG but honestly, you shouldn't try to make this like your iPhone, although Microsoft/HTC are clearly trying to 'collect' some iPhone users, overall the HD2 isn't user friendly enough to be a iPhone (yes i sayd it) That doesn't mean you shouldn't stick with the HD2 though, just forget the iPhone
To put some strength behind my 'user friendly' statement, if your ROM is from before 1.66, the HD2 will have quite some silly bugs, like SMS messages that get stuck in the outbox but only (if your lucky) send 3 weeks later, problems with the camera, not beeing able to read/write large miniSD cards & more.
On the other hand, if your in any way IT related or just in general good with computers, this is currently the best phone on the market (counting HD2 and HD2b as one) it does the latest wireless connection methods, has build-in gps, compass and g-sensor, a 1ghz gpu, a 'gpu' (kinda) and more geeky features, and hey, it can emulate most psx games at full speed (www.fpsece.net)
I'd just strongly suggest you to get a new ROM from the HTC site, assuming you have a device with pre 1.66
I hope the above helped a bit, not trying to make windows mobile even more confusing for you, just trying to tell you that it cant really be compared to iPhone/Android, it can be compared to windows, there are actually millions of apps, nobody ever felt the need for a windows marketplace until iPhone got one and Microsoft had to compete, at which they currently fail hard i agree, the windows marketplace thing is a joke, just use google.
