hello all i am request BBM ( blackberry Messenger ) for my xperia x10 ( android 1.6 )
i see this app in my friend's iphone and need it
This is not going to happen its been asked for many a time and they all get the same answer a big fat resounding nope not going to work
Hey Figo,
I believe the app you are looking for is called pMessenger and i read somewhere that it has just become available for android as well. I couldnt find it in the market though, maybe you will have more luck.

I was able to find it, but couldn't download since I've been getting a "Download Unsuccessful" message since yesterday afternoon.

I'm assuming you're using a custom rom with dangerspl or something? afaik, unsuccessful downloads often have to do with a combination of the danger spl using part of the cache space, alongside a recent cyanogen decision to move something to cache, which is used to install apps.
In other words, smaller /cache size than app.
I wish there was BBM for Android! I love the Nexus One, but all my other contacts use BBM so it's something that I've realized that I would need and require.

thanks i got it from the market
It says it doesn't support BBM all over that link?
BlackBerry PIN messaging is a closed system by RIM. It only works on BlackBerry devices.
here is the blackberry messenger

will be soon for android

Its not Blackberry Messenger, its very similar but won't work with BBM client. As the poster above said, its a private chat system by RIM and only works on Blackberry's. There is no way around it unless they open up their servers and api's for it.
and then you would also have to pay your provider to have the blackberry feature so you could be provisioned on the blackberry prosumer server and get a pin! waste of money imo
the blackberries have a pin which is used as an ID in the chat program. now. for the ppl that are switching from BBs to android they would still want to keep chatting with their bb
having said all that, isnt it possible to take that pin from the old bb and get plugged in a chat program for android to utilize the service?
I managed to convince all of the key contacts I used to BBM when I had my Blackberry to install Google Talk on their Blackberry. Works great and we can still chat!
i can't find it on the market
There is no BBM for Android, only replacement apps.

Those in the whatsapp beta for Android should update your software ASAP, because they just put in push functionality for everyone with a 2.2 phone. Is this the only software so far not from google to actually use the 2.2 push function? (C2DM and the likes do not count)
how is it different to what its doing now?? i shall update soon after i finish charging

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.
ahh right so there would be better battery life too??
Is the beta app available? Have they mentioned a release date?
Thanks

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

Nope, but it should be within the next few months, it's already very stable other than some of the extra stuff like backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, since I have quite a few friends with an iphone and BB, I'm able to send them messages via my data plan.
AppBrain's Fastweb Installer uses C2DM too for installation of applications from your PC browser.
Anything that uses C2DM is immediately interesting, I'll check it out!

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.
hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version
I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138
I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.
can we have a link to the apps apk?
Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.
http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google
really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.
Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!
it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily
updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.
Hi everyone!
I haven't seen anyone talking about "windows live messenger", nor videos and just screens about a "future messenger".
Well, there is or there is not an oficial Windows Live Messenger?
Thanks!

Bwahaha so true. Mind you, it's alot better after the updates. Notifications seem to work fine.
I still cant get it to run at all, so also looking for an integrated "official" version.
i.e. at a minimum it should have the same integration Facebook does. I dont get how they can be missing that considering how "social" messenger is now.
Anyway. Fingers crossed we get something soonish.
(How can i skive of work if i cant pretend i am working from my phone?)
The lack of a first party Wlm client was one of the reasons i didn't get a wp7 device.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This is not the Official Messenger app, it's just the only one at the moment. I know what miyowa said but they didn't say they were in charge of the official WLM but that Microsoft asked them to create a WLM app (certainly as an alternative until the official one is ready).
Trust me it wouldn't be called "messenger by miyowa", it would be published by Microsoft and it wouldn't be that ****. Also there would be a mention of it and a download link for WP7 on their official WL for Mobile page (you can select a device at the top): http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/windowsphone/default.aspx
The Zune HD version is functional but ugly so my guess is they went from porting it to working on a Live Messenger for WP7 similar to the iPhone one with social networks integrated.
As awesome as the Metro UI is, what's offered now just doesn't work with WLM (seriously check that Zune HD app, it's very ugly), they need to keep it close to the desktop version as people are used to it. I'm sure the official app will be there before the Mango update.

Bull. Even the high ranking MS execs I've spoken to refer me to the Miyowa client as official. I have no doubt there will be an actual usable client in the future, but for now it is the official one.
Microsoft would be stupid enough to let them use "Messenger by Miyowa"?
Wouldn't that be just "Windows Live Messenger"?
Even iOS has an official client. And it's not "by miyowa".
Yeah we need a proper one that can at least run backgrounded. I dont find it to be that bad since I usually leave my on at home and rarely need to log into it remotely

I was shocked that there wasn't a windows live messanger app for WP7 when I tried the HD7, I thought that was ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous that they still don't have one out.

it does push notifications so you will know when you have a message. Never have been an IM kinda user so it doesn't bother me, but the one that's there does the basic features.
Microsoft teams have more faith in ios than wp7 it seems. Now there is even denote for ios. The reasons to get wp7 over an ios device if on att or Verizon... Well there hardly are any...

There's a new WLM app called Li'Messenger. It doesn't have notifications but maybe worth a try since the miyowa one is a bit rubbish.
I think its getting pulled out of the marketplace. So i suggest to go get it now before it's gone.

i read its going to be removed... i just installed it, works and looks a lot better than miyowa's version.
now it just needs multitasking to run in the background
why would it be pulled? given the amount of twitter clients about... i don't see what reason MS would have to remove it...

That was my initial reaction to the rumor also - but seeing as the app is free, what would he gain from this? Checking the app it also seems to be as well behaved as the developers claims it is, i.e. it sends data directly to Live. No intermediary servers involved so it's not like he's stealing account data either.
My guess is that MS doesn't like the fact it's using certain logos and/or Live API's, but rather than removing it they should in that case take it over as their official client as it's already much better than the other one.
Li'Messenger seems to be removed. wish I coulda tried this. looks really good. I hope for a better one than the current selection very soon.
HEllo i was reading some in google when i found a page where says that google is cooking a built in application like the coming imessage and the well-kown blackberry messenger...
does someome knows if this is true????
if So i will be really happy to see that since it will bring a lot of blackberry users to android because they only are in BB because of the bbm but they do love android =)
There are many bbm like Apps already in the market. My too favorite are kik, I've been with it since the beginning, and the newer ebuddy xms. Both use your contacts and you can invite people.

yeah i already knew that but many people are too lazy to download an app (i know a lot of those people like bb users " hey friend download whatsapp or any crossplatform app to text each other", "nah why dont you get a bb phone better?")
i have heard that a lot of times even with android users... "hey download liveprofile dude... Nah i only use X-app"
so it would be awesome that with the new Android OS comes with a built-in Messenger like BBM, or just Gtalk Improved!!
yeah I agree with renehd2, bbm is an awesome tool and it hooks a lot of people staying with bb's if its just for that sole reason. When it comes to android, I know liveprofile is pretty sick but not everyone has it or will get it when they already have been using another bbm like app and already have their contacts set up with that....if google can make a standard the way bb did, i'm sure most of the third party bbm like apps will become extinct.
Free messenger service from Samsung. Works on Android phones, Samsung Bada devices, and feature phones. Also devices on other mobile platforms as well like iOS and BlackBerry. Also web client to work from PC.

Official Samsung blog: http://translate.google.com/transla...amsung.com/index.jsp&sl=ko&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8
Rumored to be launched in IFA Berlin.
It's kind of like WhatsApp, but what I really like about ChatON is the fact that you can access it from the web.
I'll sure take a look, when it comes out!
Hopefully this is good sounds fantastic. We need more competitors rolling out messaging services to rival and or make a better product close as BBM.
sounds great.
When will this be available for download??
Wanna give this a try, hope it's good and catches on.

Market or Samsung Apps! Search 'ChatON' in Samsung Apps, or search for 'Samsung ChatON' in the Market, be sure to +1 it!
I was really looking forward to use this app but it seems its not compatible with landscape oriented phones. I have the Samsung Galaxy pro and it appears that its not compatible. I don't know how they didn't make it compatible with my phone being that it has a hardware keyboard and its mainly use for messaging. I hope they solve this because its not going to be my phone only but the two new galaxy pros.
Edit: I installed with the apk and apparently it works in landscape also. All that is left is that the verification code arrives in my phone.

Please note, the Zip is NOT flashable.
Market link is here too https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.chaton
Bizarre. I downloaded the ZIP and installed on my device, but the market link says it is not compatible with my device model. Um, it's installed and running. Now, I still have not gotten the verification code via sms, but it is installed and running. Way to go Samsung.
Edit: It actually says it cannot be installed in my country (I'm in Canada), yet when I opened it, it knew I was in Canada and set the country code properly.)

I installed it first time using samsung Apps (where the APK is from) and got the verification code instantly.
I've removed it and installed from the market (so I can get proper updates) and yeah.... no verification code
I say give it time, probably too many requests
Yeah, that's what I figured. It most likely is not available in my country right now as well because they are trying to "roll" it out over a few countries so there isn't so many requests for codes. Us "geeks" jumping the gun

Android friends, I heard about bbm on android and didn’t believe it works, so I tried to make a research to figure out this issue till i found.
Well here is the bbm for android:
Yes it looks like a bbm layout and yes it works by adding others pin but u cant chat to persons that own a bb and bbm them, this application works as a bbm but ONLY BETWEEN ANDROID USERS. You can 100% fake your friends.
So if any one of you need this application I can send them the apk, just install and add friends.
note: pin bbm here is called NIC.
so download and enjoy. 9ACAD861DE you can add me.

That's nice
Instead u can use the watsapp so that u can chat to all other people (independent of os.)
Whatsapp is the best, but this is fun where we can fake people and say nothing can stop android.

I agree that ANDROID IS ANDROID and having BBM on it is totally unnecessary. Use a cross platform messaging app instead if you want to connect to BB users.
