OZim seems to be acting weird on me. While my device is sleeping, the IM will wake it up. A few weeks ago it would not do this. I am playing with roms and this was a CAB install rather than the embedded OZim in my ATT Fuze rom.
Any suggestions for IM clients?
Is OZ considered the best?
Thanks!

personally I really like palringo but I don't remember if it wakes when an IM is received.

Basically as the title really guys. Im running WM6 on my hermes and dont live windows Live, i find it clunky and not reliable to use but want access to MSN messenger and similar IM services.
Ive downloaded and tried SLick which looks nice but often is giving me the following error "you have been disconnected msn. peer reset connection 10054". Other times it works fine, but this is a bit too unreliable for me to be honest.
Thoughts/recomendations welcome thanks.
well i recently stumbled across slick which I really like. Prior to that I tried Parlingo which while good, lacks features. IM+ was very good, but I refuse to use it since I can't click on links that people send me. Agile messenger was also very good, but that stopped working over Edge/3g, and now only works over Wifi, for no reason.
I think Agile is the best, considering its features, however its not free.
Overall, I have yet to be satisfied with any chat programs on Windows Mobile.
Thanks. Do you have any idea why SLICK is giving me the peer reset connection error randomly?
From the sounds of it il give IM+ a try as im not too fussed about links, more just reliable IM-ing.
I definatly second your least comment, heres hoping A_C can knock up slide to IM or similar for us!
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.
hey, i like touchflo,, i guess. probably cuz im a little too nervous and inexperienced to start seriously messing around with my phone, but i do hate how the calender on touchflo works. I cant see specific says without clicking on them, and the whole thing just seems a little elementary.
is there anything you can suggest that will work with touch flo, and required just a simply installation, because im not quite sure what most of the tech abbreviations mean, and how to manually configure settings.
So from your experience, what is the most intuitive program.
would it also be too much to ask to see some screenshots of the programs.
thanks a lot....consider it my christmas present
just a side note,
if you have a program on the phone, and then update the framework, must you reinstall the initial program...the reason i ask is , i have a program to prevent the screen from being responsive when i call came in, but after a few updates, ie. framework and advance config, the screen blocker program isnt working
any suggestion?
i believe there is already a post about this and to the best of my knowledge the answer to your second question is no
SBSH Touch Calendar looks awesome. I haven't tried it yet as it costs $25 but I'm thinking about buying it. Give it a shot and post up here!

Also there is a 12-day trial.

hey, sorry for the repost, but ive been searching, and really havent been able to find what im looking for. It may just be that i dont know if the mentioned programs im looking for are compatible with the touch pro. Im not looking to mod my task bar, or anything concerning manilla files. Just a program that allows me to see into the future a little better. is this spd diary program compatible with touch pro and free?
thanks for putting up with me
Try thumbcal, i's great. Version 0,5 is free after that it gets a little better but it's not free anymore, 12
Have a look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
This solved my problem - if this is installed, you switch the screen off, then on again - all appointments as well as current date/time is displayed.
Ive used Thumbcal and only just installed the SBSH touch cal, have to admit looks and operates great. So much more features and ability to manage apts etc. First impressions i think its alot more comprehensive then Thumbcal, but just my opinion.
Alright, Beejive IM is pretty perfect - when it works. Lately it's not been working, forcing me to go looking for other programs.
1. I don't like programs that I need to create an account to sign in for. I am suspicious of them.
2. Most programs, especially the kind above, are ugly with a poor interface, lacking pretty basic features, and are slow.
So, no one say Palringo, that thing is HORRID! I can't believe it has any kind of following at all. I've tried Mundu, and the thing is awful. Unless I did something wrong, it's just terrible. Nimbuzz is too suspicious for me to try. I guess I can look at Fring again, but please. If anyone can show me a better Internet IM program, or some patches or a branch of Beejive IM, I'd be very grateful! Thanks!
glad im not the only one with beejive problems i couldnt figure out what was going on no buddies showed up in my list
sorry to say i use palringo :x
up for new suggestions as well though

I agree completely. Palringo brought my device to a crawl, and I really don't want to register for another service just to try it. When Beejive quit working, I found Slick (http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick). I've heard that it's Java based, but it runs like any other WM executable, and it runs pretty quickly. It also seems to be very UC / Sashimi friendly as all of its data and configuration are in a single directory tree.
I'll probably go back to Beejive once its working again, but Slick is the alternative I'm using for now.
Hello all!
I got a Raphael (Touch pro) for like 1½ month now... and since I have it, I have the feeling that none of the programs is being exited, but when I take a look at the task manager, I don't see any program...
I got the feeling the taskmanager doesn't see the running programs... It's kinda enoying, because for example when I have to write an sms while I'm browsing on internet, I can't switch between those...
I hope someone here has a solution for this!
Many thanks!
