What is the best IM for Vox

I'm searching a good IM which will support Gtalk & yahoo. I have tried few but none of them was good.

check out Slick (lonelycatgames.com) pretty simple, but does its job!

yeah slick isn't beta anymore

you might although try fring (dunno if it supports googletalk but its featuring filetransfair ;easy setup; you can even skype so call 4free if connected via wifi!) i'm happy using fring

i got problems with slick -.- cannot open the menu for more symbols, it briefly lights up and got back ! damn

nimbuzz is great
palringo too

which im works with gprs or edge
am using both palringo n fringr..both is nor working with gprs

In india data plans are very expensive so i want to im messenger that will take very minimum data usage So pls suggest accordingly that

May be you need to take a look at this:

Finally i have settled for Beejive IM on vox it works very well. It's UI is greater than other paid im software. It is in beta still it works like stable version

It doesn't have ICQ though does it? Most of my IM contacts are on ICQ!

according to the site is does support ICQ, didnt try it myself yet
btw: if a tool mentions aol and not icq, it still works. just login to aol with your icq #

Im messaging

hi,
i would like to ask anyone, which apllication you use for IM messaging like MSN, ICQ, Jabber ...
I bought LEO 2 days ago and I cant find good apllication which support jabber, msn and icq together. I used Slick(lonelycatgames) with Kaiser, but now, on LEO it doesnt work...
Some idea which apllication use?

Shape Services IM+

better isnt?

IMO it's the very best Windows Mobile IM app. And it supports all IM services you mentioned and a lot more. Only thing is that it could be a little bit more finger-friendly, but the leo's screen is big And yes, it works on the HTC HD2.

I use palringo, works flawlessly for me!
Edit: Oh yeah, and it's free!

+1 for palringo. Very good bit of kit.

Another good program is Pigeon.
You can get it from http://getbest.ru/

Can I ask you guys using Palringo - does it eat your battery? When I had it on my handset, I would lose 10% battery an hour. Since removing it, i lose 1% per hour.

Android and why I want WiMo back

For almost 2 years I used a Touch Diamond. While WiMo is far from perfect in todays world with a bit of tweaking and some extra software I had a device that did what I wanted it to do. Sure, WiMo isnt what you´d call fast but as said, it did what it had to do.
For the past few days I´ve been using android with my new htc legend. I heard a lot of good things about android and that is why I decided to switch. But even after a few days I´m already having a feeling of regret. While android is very fast and finger friendly the OS/apps itself just don't cut it compared to WiMo. About 75% of the things I did on a daily basis with my phone just don't work (properly) on android.
Syncing mail with hotmail is a *****. It for example does not sync read messages so everytime I login with my pc I still have to click all new messages while I already read them on my phone. This worked perfectly with WiMo.
No automatic 3g disconnect. Now this isnt default on WiMo either but there are apps that just disconnect a idle data connection. Now android has a whole bunch of apps like juicedefender but they just dont work properly and are overcomplicated. Just disconnect if I don't use it. Thats all I want. Let apps and whatever connect when they want to and kill the connection when they are done. Simple you'd think but impossible on android it seems.
Youtube is a epic fail. In the exact same place, with the exact same simcard I just can't load a movie. They all stop after 3 seconds and don't load further. Also there is no option for always having HQ. The WiMo app had this and I could always load HQ movies without trouble.
But it gets even worse when it comes to much more practical things. The browser won't save exchange webmail login info. So now I'm expected to loging like 5 times a day to my uni mail by typing my info every time? Not nice.
And what about displaying agenda items? can't do that on the lockscreen. There are apps to do this but not on the htc sense one as far as I've seen. So I have to manually check my agenda which is just a ***** because I'm just to seeing things come up on the homescreen.
Also I can't login to the uni website. You should get a login popup but the android browser doesnt seem to be capable of this. Ofcourse this was no problem at all with a 2 year old browser... So now I can't check schedules and all.
Also there is no way to stream my favorite internet radio station.
Basically I pay 10 euro's a month for internet on my phone but all apps I regulairy use with internet don't work or only work a bit on android.
Don't get me wrong, I love the speed and all but what good is speed to me if I can't use most of the functions that are important to me? What is even more disturbing is that non of the things I want to do are very special. This should all just work but it seems to be far above what android is capable of.
Basically to me android is a disfunctional OS. If the above things would work, I'd love it but now all I got is speed, but no way of doing the things I want.
Nice try, but not quite it.

That's hardly Android error - it just seems to be a bug in the mail client app. Maybe yry another one?

It's not as simple as it sounds - android has to have an active data connection to enable IM messages as well as gmail imap notifications. Unlike POP3 e-mail accounts where you have to querry the server for new e-mails once in a while, gmail actually sends information to your phone when you get an email. And this wouldn't be possible if the connection was turned off.
And if you don't want to use gmail or gtalk, just disable background data in android's data sync settings and the 3g module won't eat your battery when unneeded. Don't worry, android is much smarter with power management than winMo and the fact that you didn't disable something by hand doesn't mean that it's eating your battery.
It's like GPS - even if it;s turned on in options/on power control wigdet the module isn't physically powered up until an app requests to use it. And when it's done the module powers down again. But still you see people disabling gps support in options after exiting maps believing that it will save some battery, or even requesting an app that would disable the switch on power control wigdet.
So just remember - it's a different OS, it has different rules and the fact that you did something by hand in winMo doesn't mean you have to do it here.
Youtube is a epic fail. In the exact same place, with the exact same simcard I just can't load a movie. They all stop after 3 seconds and don't load further. Also there is no option for always having HQ. The WiMo app had this and I could always load HQ movies without trouble.

Again, this seems to be a problem with your rom/app version. I (and many other people) don't have any trouble with YT on android.
As for the HQ, it's turned on automatically when you're on wifi, on a gsm connection it defaults to standard quality. Personally i like this behavior but i agree that there should be an option to change that for people with huge/unlimited data plans.
But it gets even worse when it comes to much more practical things. The browser won't save exchange webmail login info. So now I'm expected to loging like 5 times a day to my uni mail by typing my info every time? Not nice.

Weird, but also not android bug, just the browser. You might want to try some alternatives (like dolphin, skyfire, opera mini)

Okay, and since when does WinMo display the agenda without any additional software? But i agree, htc really should make some "upcomming events" widget, and default android could use one as well. For now i use "CalWidget" and i know of "pure calendar widget" (paid). I don't know it they're compatible with sense but it may be worth a try

Again, hard to blame android for that. Some alternative browser might help (maybe opera mini?).

There is no way to do that or maybe you just don't know a way to do it? Try DroidLive (it might even have this station in its database) or StreamFurious. Both have usable free versions.

Well, seems to me that you don't really have a problem with android but you just got screwed by HTC and their customized version of android
If i were you, i'd just look for an unofficial rom. It might actually fix all your problems.
Also, part of your woes seems to be the fact that you knew winMo, knew the tweaks and apps you needed to make the device do what you want. Going over to android is a fresh start where you have to find out everything again. I know, i had similar feelings on a stock rom on my G1 after being a hardcore winMo user But after some research and grabbing a new rom and few extra apps android is way more functional than winMo for me and i don't feel like ever going back.
Just give it a chance and do some research.

Android platform has to mature a lot.
WM without xda is a hell.

You really need to find a new ROM. I've never had one single issue you're talking about.
Edit: And I'm using a myTouch running 1.6.

Could be, though I doubt that. But I might try a different one.

I know all that. But for me it does not seem to work perfectly. If I disable data connection always on (I never actually completely disable it), it still leaves it open. I checked overnight compared with just totally disabling it and it made a clear difference in the battery charge left. Its not like GPS where the icon actally dissapears when you don't use it but this doesnt happen with 3g so far as I can see it, it still uses more power than when disabling it.
I understand all the google stuff needs it, but I don't use any of it so for me its rather useless.

I did some more reachers on this and the problems seems to exist on a lot of different models/rom versions. I got the latest 2.1 rom for legend so I should have the latest (v1.5 I believe).

I reacherd a bit more and it seems to be a IIS and android problem. Wm and Iphone have the same problem but they just ignore the IIS message and continue. I tried Opera and it has the same problem. Btw, I think Opera on android is a long way off from Opera on WM. Still missing lots of functions I think.
IIS problem for the website login btw. Not sure why the exchange site doesnt save credentials but that seems to be misconfiguration. For example it wont even work on most desktop browsers either.

Yes ofcourse with extra software I will try the apps you posted. Thanks.

Thats the problem. They work with their own databases. I just want to load a .pls or m3u file in a player and have it connect.

Maybe you are right. I know everything about WM and for me android still has a lot of things beneath its skin I don't know. If the apps I want exist I could fix some of my problems.
But some problems are just android related. The whole website thing is a combination of android and IIS configuration that don't play nice. Nothing HTC can do about this, nor can any custom rom. Its something google needs to fix. Ofcourse, if my uni would change their IIS settings it could also fix the problem but I don't think I can get them to change settings just for me.
For me that really needs to work because its a daily function for me.
Also I wonder if some things can be done. For example in WM you can just select to only use your provider. I still havn't found a way to completely disable roaming on android. Fortunatly its easy to prevent data roaming.

Pretty much what I was thinking, this app is amazing.
Wonder what the battery usage is on it. Anyone know if it's a bat killer? I just got it. Also, anyone try this for gaming yet?

ive been using this app since its first public release. it is a major battery killer concidering it is in a constant send/recieve mode. overall this app is cool but you should use it while the charger is plugged in.

cool app works good (not nextel) battery killer though
I have been using this app for several days on touch pro 2 it works good as long as you dont go to "options" in menue and try to change anything in "control' the phone crashes and battery needs to be removed. However it works great if you dont mess with control in menue options

And there is a new version uploaded on loudtalks.com a while ago. Version 0.9.0.77 is the actually one (see my signature)

[Q] Instant Messaging Program

Hello there,
I'm searching for a decent IM program for my Desire S. Palringo, my weapon of choice on Windows Mobile, is simply dire and unusuable on Android ... and I tried Nimbuzz on the recommendation of a friend and it's pretty abysmal too.
Neither service seems to be reliable on Android, with Palring being a sluggish program with little options and Nimbuzz not reconnecting properly most times and not displaying most of my Offline friends.
I've heard of eBuddy (free) and BeeJive (Paid). Are there any other solutions which would be reliable, uncluttered but have sufficient features and you can trust to display all of your offline contacts appropriately?

hmmm...IM+ maybe?

Try IMO. It's on market and is free..

imo...
So much promise. It's fast, silky smooth, easy to use and connection stability is SPOT ON.
Program stability? Poor. Cannot use it too much before it quits.
Time to try IM+
EDIT: IM+ crashes when I sign onto my Facebook account... not good.
Next suggestion?

WhatsAp ? its not bad

Trillian
Try trillian, it supports windows live, jabber and gtalk
regards,
Monk

I can also recommend Trillian. Everything is well aranged and it doesn't use as much battery as other clients i tested.

How is Trillian for connection stability and program stability?
With imo, my connection to all IM programs is fantastic, far superior to any other IM program I've tried, but the application stability is below average.

For trillian connection stability for xmpp is still not so good, constant dc. But overall program stability is pretty good.
