MSN Messenger for WM6

does anyone have a msn messenger for wm6 that works with GPRS, because live messenger always syncs contacts with contact list and if my friends want to sign on their contacts will get joined with mine, which i dont want. Also if it would be able to work with T-mobile US GPRS without having to pay for a plan like Pocket MSN did with WM6 that would be great.

Have you tried Windows Live Messenger ? It works with all your MSN contacts in WM6. It is available in Faria's real thing WM6 ROM, amongst others.

I'm not sure what you mean about the contacts, but the newer version of windows live messenger gives you the option to merge contacts with outlook or not to if you don't want it to do that. I use it just fine on the $5.99 t-zones plan, weather or not you can still get free internet without any data plan I am not sure of but that's something that had the same limitations as t-zones and it's not something to rely on always being there

use im+. Hope this helps

But IM+ does not reconnect after a telefoncall. and for me it is the same windows live is too beig. SO what els?
Octrotalk is subdirectet through googletalk. but reconnects and even has autologin - by time.

it can reconnect after a phone call just change the setings make it reconnect like 99 times

Dude this is not a warez site....IM+ is an commercially available messenger program....you cant post that here unless its an trial version without pre-patched\cracked.

where can i set it?
thx. just didn´t use it much.

No i mean, when i sign into windows live messenger it says i ave to sync my countacts with my messenger contacts. Thats why i want one without that. Pocket MSN on WM5 did not force you to sync contacts, and worked without a T-mobile data plan, as does OZ IM. is there something like that for WM6, or maybe even just the whole pocket MSN for wm6.

Making Windows Live Not Sync Contacts

Hey i love the new Windows live interface, but the only problem is i dont want to sync my 200 messenger contacts to my phone book. Anyone find out a way to stop this?

Thanks, but when i sign into messenger it still asks if i want to sync, and the only option is yes. Any ideas?

mmm if you want to sign in to the msn messenger, use live messenger app shorcut instead the live shorcut on the start menu

hmmm just tried that, it still asks to sync contacts when i try to sign in. Im wondering if there is a way to disable it.

i'm after a way to do this too - seems that any which way you try to use it, it always tries to 'dump' your msn contact list into your address book
i tried other IM programs such as IM+ but none look as good as msn live just yet...

I feel the same way, ive been trying aswell but like you said it always tries to bring the contact list in. But i am sure there is a way around it.

anyone know of any *other* good IM apps we can try instead?

seems like this is a problem for alot of other users aswell, the interface is sweet but the only problem is this stupid contact sync. I really dont want to install another messaging client

well just for the record, i'm trialling 'Agile Messenger'....would prefer to have the integrated Windows Live Messenger though....

agile messenger i dont mind but like you said you cant beat the live interface. Plus isnt Aglie $20?

Thanks Menneisyys - going to check it now.
I'm really hoping I may find a pearl of wisdom in your reviews such as how to stop Windows Live syncing our contacts!

Unfortunately, currently, it's not possible. However, a new might be WLM coming very soon (I can't tell you more because of the strict rules concerning my MS MVP status.)

how about starting to develop our own IM client for WM6.
anybody interest?

i wouldent mind, but i think ill just wait for the winodws live fix

Do this
with your "regular" phone book on the phone, use PIM Backup to make a backup
run messenger live (it will sync contacts, don't worry about it)
go on msn messenger, options, turn off all contact syncing
exit messenger
run PIM Backup and restore all, there will be an option to erase phonebook before restoring, do that
DONE
MSN won't sync your contacs, no MSN contacts in your phonebook =)

DO NOT DO THAT. I REPEAT. DO NOT TRY IT
I just did and after I restored all my contacts from PIM backup and I tried to
sign on msn again it deleted all of my MSN contacts.
Now the only contacts I have on my MSN list are those that were originally in my contact list.
Does anybody know how I can restore my MSN contacts?????

yikes! i cant believe this is such a big problem!

Can anyone make Pocket MSN cab ?

I just lost 80 people off my list!
Stay away from it at all costs! damn stupid idiots at M$!!!
All i did was logon and when i logged on the PC i see 80 people missing!!
Please if you have a CAB file for Pocket MSN that comes from T-Mobile SDA for Installation, ill be VERY gratefull!!

Here's Windows Live Messenger for WM5/6. If you mean the MSN Messenger application included in WM5 ROM then it's already in your phone as part of the operating system. Check the windows folder for the executable...

@NiTroGenious, dear god NO! i do NOT want Live Messenger! it just cost me 80 people off my list! its horrible! all that contact syncing disaster!
I want MSN Messenger and yes i know it comes with WM5, but i put WM6 and it does not come with it, That is why i asked if someone has or can make a CAB for installing it. Since i couldn't find it anywhere on the net

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Anyway, if you don't want the "Windows Live! features", why don't you try an alternative MSN client, such as IM+?

Windows Live! features, killed 80 people off my MSN list
IM+ and the rest of the others, cost money. And MSN Messenger on the SDA is all ill need if i can port it to WM6 from the WM5.
Thank you for trying

if you used WM6 Perfect Edition, try to use IE, I add an Windows Messenger Mobile in IE favorite, it is a wap version, it works well when you only need text chat.

@andot, i did not see it, propably cause when i synced the mobile, my favorites replaced the ones you provided
I still prefer an independed solution, is there no way to integrate instmsgr from the WM5 rom?
PS: Just wanna say awesome job on WM6 andot! seriously! brought new life to my mobile!
PS2: I Just found the PERFECT solution! FREEWARE and can logon to: Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and GoogleTalk!!!
I am shocked no one told me about it before, check it out - http://www.octro.com/index.php
PS3: Here's another free one which also gives you SIP! http://www.fring.com/download

There is this one from Nitrogen HERE DownloadPocketMSN_wm5_by_nitrogen You probably know him
Also do a search for "Install_Pocket_MSN.exe" there are a few cabs around. I downloaded it and it installed fine for me. All though, I just can't get MSN to work...
And finally, as an alternate try: www.palringo.com Its what I'm using now, free, pretty flexible, still in development. So far works great for me. Audible sounds with every message you recieve, can log into multiple acounts, multiple PM's, can use on Desktop, can send voice and picture messages... try it out, Not bad at all, and it qualifies for your FREE request Good Luck mate.
@Nitrogen: Good to see you around mate!

looking for WM5 Instant Messaging program cab

I used Agile but it was only the trial and no matter what, it wouldn't let me continue. I really liked the IM program from WM5 and I was looking to see if someone had the cab file of it. Thanks

bump
Agile and IM+ are a no go

What IM program from WM5 do you mean? MSN messenger? There are no any built-in IM program for ICQ in WM5 at all.
If you need free icq client try Prelude 0.5.5, it work fine.

Well there is the built in one that gives you the option of using AIM, YAHOO and ICQ and I am mostly interested in the AIM part of it, but I was seeing if there was a cab of that actual built in application that I can load onto wm6

have u test FRING?
http://www.fring.com
look a great app.

I've just made this cab from a WM5 ROM. I don't have the time to test it right now. Looking forward to your comments...
http://rapidshare.com/files/54734920/PocketMSN_WM5_by_NiTroGen.cab

I get an Installation was unsuccessful error right away.

I've just installed it successfully. No installation errors at all. But when I try to sign-in to MSN Messenger, I get "Sign-in to MSN Messenger Service is not responding. Try again later.". Windows Live Mobile Messenger is able to connect without any problem. So, there must be something missing from the cab. Any ideas???

I'm still looking for a suitable program that runs aol instant messenger. All the other ones I have tried are trials and will not run on my phone anymore. Can anybody upload the WM5 instant messenger app?

give Palringo a shot.

I counted 19 steps to change from one profile to another.

Sync between Android / WinMo

Hey
Is there any app out there wich could sync all PIM-Data like SMS,Contacts etc. to Android? I'd love an app that does this since I've got Android on my HD2?
If there isn't any software, I'll try to develop some on my own, but first I need to know a few things:
- how do get the messages (Mail and SMS) in WinMo (.net cf)
- and how to restore them??
- how to register an app to run before shutdown and as startup on android?
Thanks
Chabun

Did you try to use MyPhoneExplorer for syncing Outlook contacts to your Android ?

Hi,
I've search alot around to do that, tryed ogg synch and other stuff,
but now I've found that this way to synch android and winmo is the best (for me):
don't use outlook anymore on my pc instead I've created a gmail accound and use calendar , contact... exactly like on outlook but online.
On htc winmo I've made an activesync account with google server (m.google.com) and synch everything exept tasks.
And on htc Andro synch with google account.
Everyhing works ...

How can you possibly hope to use Android fully without a data plan

Google Sync will do just this !
Yes, i just stumbled onto this:
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
I just set up my active sync with m.google.com (follow the instructions, old, but still work) on my Window mobile, did one sync for everything except my email.
That part of it OK, i reboot to Android (MCCM Desire HD), synch my stuff there (using this same gmail address) and yes, all my contacts show up, contacts with multiple numbers, pictures (girls!) included, wow, just wow...
Give it i try, i'll go see if it actually synchs the calendar, my messages from winmo do not show up though.
Edit: sorry, i guess aegidios2 beat me to it, well here are the instructions, if you have no data plan, surely you can sync using Wifi ?
Update: Yes, i tested, it also syncs the calendar back from Android to WinMo, then Outlook pops op on my computer, informing me about the appointment i put in the calendar, wow, i am hooked !

I can do that, yes, but I want to be able to switch between them at any time - even if I'm not at home and no free wlan net is in reach!

Since there were only f****** expensive offers when I bought my hd2....
So I'm currently trying to develope an app for that, but I'm stuck on creating sms on WinMo (I tried the InTheHandSDK, but on my HD2 (latest Artemis ROM with WM 6.5.3) it crashes and in the emulator it fails to store the body of the sms). Does anyone know how to do that??

So I think there's no app which can handle that...
Now I'm wondering if anybody else would like to have such an app?
And I have still the problems with reading/restoring sms (on winmo), anyone who could help me?

Did you try mIQ, search for it on google
Only downside is you can sync only one device

I use Google Calendar Sync and Contacts Sync.
Done completely offline via your home PC. Works flawlessly as long as you have Outlook on your home PC.

State
Hey guys,
my conclusion to this thread is, there's no (portable) alternitive way of syncing with your 3g-network, if there's no app.
And that's the point, imagine you're on the beach abroad with your phone in your palm but currently winmo is running. So you start android and after a few seconds (SuperRAM is awsome) - f**** the sms from your GF/BF is not there...
Noway to sync with the net if you aren't a millionaire (roaming is s....).
And that's why I need an app, so I started to develop. I alreadey managed to get ceampi succesfully working. My winmo client is nearly finished. Now I need some android gurus to help me.
So anyone interested outthere willing to help? I need to know how to read all mesages stored in the folders (inbox,drafts etc.) and how to create new messages which are stored there as well.
Thanks
