I am looking for a messaging app that will allow me to use skype, aim, and msn. The more important thing is having them run in the background so I can receive skype updates, calls and messages while utilizing the rest of my phone. Anyone know how to do this, or can point me to link about it. I looked for the last hour, but couldn't come across anything.

I don't know about the Skype part (haven't really needed to look for a client to support all those), but for AIM and MSN, try Palringo @ http://www.palringo.com , I have used it and it works pretty good for those and other IM's as well... Hope that helps a bit.
I really like Nimbuzz. Pretty sure it has skype.

I've used Nimbuzz... not a bad choice either, and if it has skype ( i havent used it in quite some time) then that would probably be the best solution.

Thanks Nimbuzz does have skype, I am going to give it a try and post in a few days how I like it. If anyone else has an idea let me know and I'll try those as well.
I have Agile Mobile. It works really well for AIM, MSN and Google (don't know about skype).

Hi,
I'm looking for a software for my HTC S730 which enables me to send SMS via my Voip account from the Internet.
I found http://www.smsoip.be/ but it doesn't work on my HTC S730.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot!!!
Anyone???
There must but some software for SMS over Voip for Smartphone.... right??
sms software
do a search on fring, great bit of voip software. good for voip sms, sips, etc, using it on my spv m3100 with sipgates.co.uk sips account
Are you sure fring is also for voipsms? I dont think so...
thanks
please, anyone?? i want voipsms software for WM standard
WTF
cmon ppl!!!!!!!
hoping for the same thing, you would think there should exist a small app, but apparently there isn't...hopefully someone gets inspired and makes one
Humm.. SMS over VoIP? Is it possible? VoIP would need to provide an SMS gateway; which a phone carrier wouldn't...
How about an alternate solution? Email to SMS/SMS to Email gateways, specifically because they exist? If you find a way to send SMS over the telephone system, let me know.
[edit]
I was being to cocky. Looks like Skype provides; but read that wikipedia article anyway.
[edit2]
There are some web sites that will send SMS (that would be, other than the carriers themselves)... I just found CallWave.

yea there are website, but its real annoying to open a browser, type the address in, and then type the message. there are programs that do what we're asking so its not impossible, they're just tailored for the pocketpc (SMSoIP, IPSMS to name a few)
yea thats right... so voipsms is popular. but no app for SP yet!!

ya, it blows my mind too, lol unless there is and ppl aren't sharing
lol i'm guessing its not possible.... i ran into a program called fring which i think does allow you to do this, but just curious if we can do this without a 3rd party app
NO and NO! FRING does not allow you to do SMS via VOIP.
Im just really surprised by the lack of interest in this topic.
Do you people even know what SMS via VOIP means? It means FREE SMS TO ALL COUNTRIES WITH YOUR NUMBER AS SENDER (e.g. with VOIPBUSTER)

lol ok good thing you cleared that up, didn't liike fring anyways was sapping a little too much memory for my liking. ahhhh jus frustratin to see no one has a solution to this
i think maybe just write an email to ur VOIP provider like voipbuster or voipstunt and ASK them... they know better
someone suggested
gsm.voipbuster.com and download the java software.
any other ideas=??
Hi folks,
my first post here, this is a greaaaat forum
but let's face my problem, Nimbuz is a really great tool, but if you have the facebook account, he'll download the friends profiles photos, and when I want to see my photos in the HD2 I have those pictures downloaded.
Has anyone solved this problem yet?
yes I've noticed that too.
Solution?
Use Palringo, or pay for Im+ (which is crap). I await a truly ENJOYABLE messaging client for WM. In light of the fact that Android and iPhone OS apps seem to have so much more finger friendly and snappy apps (Nimbuzz on the iPhone is a lot nicer to use). I hope that the new year will bring with it a plethora of non-clunky, smooth and lovely apps to rival those of other OS's. Apps such as TouchTwit are a step in the right direction fo' sho'.
Hi!
I did it!
Thank you luxxa. I had this problem too and your post prompted me to try a solution. It was annoying me.
Folow the tip 64 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4935500&postcount=3 to exclude the Nimbuzz folder present in \My Documents\My Pictures\. (By the way, it's not really necessary to soft reset. You can just use Task Manager or something alike to restart only the program HTC Albums)
Open the photo albums list, select an album, and Set it as Favorite.
leoni1980, do you prefer Palringo over Nimbuzz? I tried to use it about one year ago, but I didn't understand its interface. Before I used to use Talkonaut, but it started to fail sometimes. Currently, I dare to say I like Nimbuzz. I just miss a finger scroll for it.
guys the problem is that the nimbuzz does not have a notification icon to notify if you have massage or missed call so you need to open it all the time to see if you have a massage and it only have a small beep sound
Palringo has the notification icon showing in the todayscreen if you have a massage but nimbuzz does not have this
that the only thing stopping me from using it
anyone have any solution for this ???
Nimbuzz has his advantages, for example supporting Skype..

the new version of palringo (still beta) support skype too,but only chating for now

but does not have a notification icon and cant run more that 1 msn account in the same time
And Nimbuzz collects as many personal data from you as it can get.
I would recommend to read their privacy statement. For people with a general privacy need it´s horror.
Anyone figured out how to login/logout of individual accounts. Whilst at work I prefer to have google talk on desktop and facebook & MSN on phone (nimbuzz).
I cant see anywhere in nimbuzz to logout of google talk but leave facebook and msn connected.
I much prefer Palringo but their facebook support is dodgy at best.
Is it just me or does the HD2 email app suck. The SMS app isnt great either....
Though im much happier with this windows phone that my previous garbage Iphone.. i have to admit that gmail and sms works better on the iOS..
What are my alternatives here.. i did try to search and couldnt really find a good way of replacing these features to something which is clearer and that works better. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.. also if there is a cooked rom out there with a good sms and email application let me know PLEASE !!
also .. if theres nothing good out there.. is there any way that I can get my phone do always download full messages as they arrive, rather than getting a lame half email and then always having to wait for the rest of it to download ?
thanks !
No you are not!!! I hate it too and exchange is not any better. Using Imap they show the day I sync my folders as the received date and they are all out of order. Because of security reasons they do not allow html picts and other attachments. The only other programs I have found that are better are Profimail and flex mail. Both of them have problems too like flex mail does not support finger scrolling and Profimail has notification problems on PPC. I like and use Profimail but I will not pay for it till they fix it.
i also hated the stock email app, searched a lot, ended up using Profimail, which is much better though quite pricey. now use android, having amazing gmail and exchange support

I have never experienced that problem, do you have to manually download the whole message? Have you checked the download options, download whole message? (not just 50kb or some such size)
What other problems / dislikes do you have?
Ok, so far the only real PUSH instant messaging seems to be GTalk, and while transport servers are nice in theory, it's severely lacking. My contacts don't all show up, which means if more than one person messages me, I can't even reply to all of them. The new Trillian beta promises to "push" using google's C2DM but a lot of people (me included) are not having good luck with it. WhatsApp apparently supports it, but doesn't work with Facebook, Yahoo, AOL, etc. So I'm looking for something that does AOL/Yahoo/Facebook that does PUSH. Anyone know of any others?
-Todd
Huh ? Are you coming from moon ?
Nimbuzz, Fring and other IM clients are all using push ..

BeejiveIM has C2DM "push" functionality for its instant messaging service and supports the above IM protocols.
Nimbuzz. Free and working fine.
Does anyone know if there is a similar app for Android, or a way to get the same functionality as this: http://www.talkatone.com/
I already know how to get something similar with GV + Sipdroid. In fact I am using it right now. What I am basically looking for I guess is a app that will let me use VOIP over GTalk instead of a sip service like Talkatone does.
Same here
I would like to know that too... It always seemed very odd that google themselves didnt make that work...
Still looking
^Bump. Anyone seen anything new on this?
Is there any similar app exists?

Have you tried Fring?
Any news on this I don't want to use PBX or sip or what ever other in-between account they did this on the iphone and I can call people on my gmail account it's just plain stupid someone hasn't extracted the browser plugin and ported it to android.

Well, it finally seems that something has been done. Check the GrooVe IP app on the market which came out just a few days back. Is is 2.99, I got it. The outbound works fine, but I am not able to get incoming. Anyone else tried it out.
i haven't tried it but 2 of he comments say that it's glitchy and that it doesn't work properly... groove ip
Well I paid the $3 and it seems to be good fo out going but needs some fixes on incoming I couldn't figure out how to answer it lol

i use sipdroid
This Dev is awesome I reported the bug and he fixed it within a day. It may not be a perfect app but if the Dev is that willing to fix stuff I'm all for recommending others to buy from him. http://androidforums.com/application-announcements/320717-app-groove-ip-google-voice-voip.html this app just needs a Google voice login and nothing extra unlike sip or the others I've tried to use. Today during the tornado I still had data but no texting or regular calls and it worked to make a call! Saved my butt. Worth $3.00!

Talkatone for Android
In case you haven't found it yet: Talkatone is now available for Android in an early alpha stage.
I just installed it in my Samsung Galaxy S2 and it works perfect with my GV!
You can get alpha APK here:
