Almost every 6.1 rom I try I keep getting the typing screen in IM+ cut off which makes the program useless that I paid for awhile ago. I'm trying to avoid reverting to 6.0 roms since I'm loving the new 6.1 versions. I'm also trying to avoid low pagepools, I prefer either dynamic or 24+. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm using Dutty's WM6.1_5.2.19700 with the 1.65.14.06 radio. IM+ (version 5.1) is working perfectly fine, although I did experience the same "bottom of the screen cut off" problem with an earlier 6.1 ROM.
i'm trying to avoid this one since I don't like the performance of it, i tried 18,dynamic and 32mb pagepools and no satisfaction.I also like clean/lite versions so it doesn't install apps I don;t care for that I can work with as far as program installation but keeping necessity files.dlls,etc that shouldnt be cut off

Where did you get 5.1 from? The current version on Shape's site is 4.58.
there is no 5.1 yet,most recent released version is obtained at shapeservices.com
i am also having this problem... i wonder if this is cause by the rom itself or the radio.

This doesn't answer your question but in my quest for a 100% free PPC IM package, I stumbled upon http://www.palringo.com -- they have a cab for download and a pc version as well. It's VERY sparse but works and is 100% free...
NO -- I'm not getting anything for this nor am I a spammer. Just frustrated but no truly FREE PPC IM apps. Good luck solving your IM+ problem!
i used to use palringo and it's horrible (just my opinion). i currently use slick im and it may not be a pretty as palringo, but it works great. the downside is that there is no today plug in for it. you do get im notifications on the top taskbar via a little slick im icon. it also beeps and vibrates if you choose. their site is http://www.lonelycatgames.com
anyone let me know if this has changed, but the issue i had with palringo is that i keep getting booted from aim. when you set auto-reconnect it logs you in and out of aim all freakin day. my buddies that stay logged on while at work tell me that sometimes i'm in an out several times a minute.
the great thing about im+ and slick is that you log in directly to the im service of choice from your phone. with palringo, agile and ozim you log into their server and they log you into the service you select. i'm sure they don't keep your password in clear text or anything, but i don't like the idea of giving a middle man my password.
another plus for slick is that when you send a pic or file, it gets sent directly to your buddies im window. with oz you can't send anything at all since it's text based. with agile and palringo you end up sending links to their respective sites that your buddies have to go to to see pics and receive files.
another program is jive, but i haven't used this im so i have no comments on it. i may praise slick a bit (ok, a lot ), but i'll be switching back to im+ once shapeservices gets off their ass and fixes their program so that it works with all 6.1 roms. i paid $40 for the damn thing and i want to use it.
I've used palringo and slick, and IM+...IM+ has been hit and miss with most 6.1 ROM's I've used, but all of the Dutty roms i've used lately its worked with. I'm currently on Dutty's latest 19700 hyrid and it works perfectly. Much like the poster above me, palringo annoyed the hell out of me constantly disconecting me..I hate to say it, but I think slick is the best, its just so plain and ugly
I suck it up and use IM+, and besides no file transfers, I dont have many complaints
IM+ works on new L26 V4 ROMs (it does NOT work on Leo's V2 and V3 ones, but does on the V4). Not sure what he changed (and Leo didn't make a change because of IM+, but whatever difference there is, it now works). This doesn't use the radio you mentioned by default, but uses one of the newer WM6.1 radios.
Not really a true answer to the original question, but just wanted to mention this as an option.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try slick im! I'll try any FREE IM application.

IM+ works on 6.1 roms with OS base 19202, 19700 and 19716. You get that blank typing area with roms based on 19209 and 19213. Haven't tried 19900 yet.
Sort of getting forced into an upgrade, as need to get it sorted before 1st feb ( as with T-mobile UK that means 500mb vs 3GB )
Currently got a touch pro2 , had windows phones for over 5 years now. But not really liking win 7 phones, seem very restrictive, and theres not that many good deals about.
But on with my Questions.
1. Does Hotmail sync, so i get instant notifications as new emails arrive?
2. Can i back up all my calander entries and transfer them across?
3. I use opera mobile 10, can i copy my favorites across?
4. Is it possible to copy over my texts and contacts as these are all backup and saved via microsoft myphone
Apps & software
5. sat nav, a biggy, i have used TomTom since my ipaq ppc days, and nothing else, is there something compareable on android? not a data based one , needs to have maps on the SD card, for the UK & cover the rest of europe.
6. an equiverlent free app to midomi ( ie record a 10 second clip of a tune, and display the details of the tune ) that works well.
7. A radio station streamer app, that allows you to enter your own urls, as in .pls links.

I was in the same dilemma as you a few months back. i was a hardcore WM fan, but decided to make the switch to Android. i never looked back. Once you experience android it is like a completely experience. i got a galaxy tab, and kept my tg01 just incase i didn't like android, but now i would definetely let android be my next primary phone. if you want to experience android yourself, try out a ROM for your tp2.
like you, i dislike wp7, it is so restricted. Android is open source there is so much you can do for it.
My next phone will be a android, no doubt, possibly those dual core ones . i suggest waiting till after march when the dual cores are released.
Hope this helps mate

1. Yes you can configure Hotmail with Exchange to have push mail. I've only tried it for a short time and received several times the same message so can't tell you if that was a one-time bug or if it is usual. Anyway you can still configure a reception in POP every 5 minutes.
But you'll have the best of Android experience if you use a Gmail account instead. The push works really nice.
2. You can use Google Sync to transfer all your calendar from WM to Android.
3. Sprite Migrate allows the transfer of bookmarks but I don't remember which browser favorites it transfers.
4. For contacts you can use either Google Sync or Sprite Migrate. For your texts do you mean .doc? Maybe you could transfer them to your PC then to Google Documents and you'll have access to them via GDocs on your phone?
The real bad point in Android is that there is no real Office application like in WM. Documents to Go and Quick Office are either paid applications or not as good as in WM IMO.
5. There are several applications: Google Maps Navigation, Navigon for example. On HTC Desire Z and HD they have included offline maps on the SD card. I don't know for other brands devices.
6. Soundhound is the equivalent. It's free and you can now search for an unimited amount of songs
7. I don't use the radio feature so can't give you much information but I'd be surprised that it doesn't exist. Other people will probably give your more information about that

No, you CAN get Microsoft office apps on the tab. its just they are not 'official' microsoft branded but they still work. its just that in WM, you get the official mobile version.

No what I meant is that I've tried both Documents To Go and Quick Office and they are less complete than the Office application in WM.
For example in Excel, it doesn't even display graphs. You only have spreadsheets. It's a real lack for me.
Anyother ways of copying my calander entries from win 6.5 to android, other than google sync as i cant get that to do it at all?
Dont think my active sync was ever setup or used, as it wont let me select anything, as no outlook is used??
I'm in that stage right now where my contract expires 2/20 and I'll probably wait a bit for the Atrix. However, I've been searching for these things in Android:
1. Pocket Dictionary / Japanese Language Input - I'm taking Japanese classes, so I use the Japanese SIP where you can use the stylus to draw the furigana characters, etc.
2. Cash Organizer - Apparently they're not releasing an Android version. Any financial software as good as CO?
3. Pocket Player - Anything even close to this? Random visualizations, skinning, library manager?
4. Outlook Tasks APP & SYNC - I use tasks to document everything, whether in the phone, or in the PC, and then just sync everything together with Outlook. Is there a standard task app that could sync with Outlook in the PC? With the categories?
5. G-Alarm - is there an equivalent? random mazes and math problems for snooze?
And let's not forget Spacetime, the HP48GX Emulator, and Pocket Stars!? Maybe it would just be better to start working on WINE for Android
Hey. i've been looking for an android phone that fits my budget right now, wich btw, it's not very high hahaha. i've been offered this HTC touch pro 2 in a really chep price, new and in it's CDMA version. I know i'ts a bit old but it fits my needs. BUT as i said before, i'm looking for an android phone. surfing around the web i've seen a few videos and sites talking about these "ports" that enabale you to have even Android 2.3 on this cellphone.
so, my question is, and i would really apreciate to be answered with simplle words (yes, i'm kind of noob with these smartphones, in fact this would be my first one), Is this possible? after getting my HTC TP2 will i be able to enjoy at least of android 2.2?
thanks in advance
greetings from venezuela ^^
I apologize for any misspelling
HTC HD2! I have a lot of Android SD Builds (Desire HD, Gingerbread,...).All of them work fine on the HD2.

Not without ActiveSync AFAIK... there might be, but I don't know it, and ActiveSync is free and very easy to set up! Set up Activesync, sync your WinMo phone to Outlook, and then either sync your new Android phone to Outlook OR use Google Calendar Sync to sync Outlook to GMail and then sync the Android phone to GMail's calendar. (Don't do both or you'll get duplicate entries!)
Personally I prefer Outlook's calendar (more feature-complete and can handle recurring events better), but I can't deny that it's much easier having your calendar in the cloud, letting the phone sync with it from anywhere, and being able to log in from any PC to check it even if your phone has run out of battery!

Android doesn't have a Tasks (or Notes) function, which is a bit strange seeing as GMail has a Notes applet built in (!), but there's a few apps that add that functionality (some free, some paid-for) and support syncing with Outlook. Have a look on http://www.syncdroid.net/

I have found a method to use Facebook without the messenger app. It works with all versions I've tried however because it's a glitch, the newer the version the more glitches occur. The version I use is from May 28th 2015 so you will not be losing any features really and you can still FACEBOOK CALL!!!
Ok so the method is uninstall Facebook and messenger, when you uninstall Facebook you need to clear cache/data.
Now you need to go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/downloads this is the official developers Facebook page so you know there wont be any viruses or anything.
Download ''Facebook APK 29.0'' this is the last version that allows messages without the messenger app. You need to extract the .apk using winzip and move it to your phone. When you install V29.0 run it and make sure you can access your messages without the messenger app, sometimes left over files from the newer version force you to install messenger even though this version doesn't require it. If it doesn't let you access your messages you need to clear data/cache/force stop and try loading it again, this is a pain sometimes as it takes awhile for the app to set up each time but it will work. It worked for me first time which is how I came across this glitch but after playing around with different versions I found V29.0 started asking me to install messenger and took around 3 times clearing data/cache before it worked.
Next step, once you have messages working on V29.0 is to download V34.0 and install it over the top of V29.0. Don't clear data, if you do this it won't work. Once installed it should have the left over files from V29.0 and it will let you view your messages, reply to them and even make calls!!
This glitch can be a little tricky to get to work or it can be very easy, it all depends.
One thing I have noticed is when you install V29.0 the screen freezes and you have to exit and reload the app, this seems to happen every time for me, but backing out fixes it and it doesn't happen again. The other thing is if you install V35.0 the Facebook calls don't work, I seem to remember getting V35.0 to work with calls but it's not working now for me, you may want to try it, if you do let me know if you get it working. You can update to the latest version of Facebook but I wouldn't recommend as it is buggy.
I know this is long and a bit of a pain but it works beautifully once you get it working, V34.0 has all the features I need, the only it seems to be missing is the built in browser for viewing websites. Everything else I have tested works, tagging friends in comments/photos/statuses, playing videos, stickers, smiley's ect... plus you get the old interface which I prefer to the new one.
Any questions feel free to ask and let me know if it works for you, if it does hit the 'thanks' button
Thanks alot sir. This is very cool.
I used final facebook right now (55), if i update the app will impact on chat or not sir?
Hello all, I know Facebook still offered a sort off backroom code for messenger still deeply embedded within the app however even with this method which by the way, works, once you install last build (v58) it doesn't direct you to install messenger, but to the web version of Facebook since the embedded messenger code no longer exists there. Maybe if you find which was the last build that had messenger still somewhere in there, we could update to it

Version 55 does have it. I'm not sure if it is the latest, but it seems to work so far for me.
updated to V34 as per above instructions, works perfectly. Thanks
