Yahoo! Mobile Messenger

I cannot find the cab file or installer for YMM. I searched for a few weeks now and everything points to AT&Ts page via the phone. I don't have AT&T and when I go to Yahoo it's just a page with no download. Only web based YM when clicked the link and Yahoo Go suck.... can anyone help?

I don't know of single app for yahoo messenger at least by yahoo anyway. I personally use Slick. Its currently in testing so its free and I have been using version .42 for some time now and havent had a single problem. You can download it at www.lonelycatgames.com
Works great for my yahoo messenger needs..

wow!! great yahoo messenger.. tq

Palringo
Is good for not just Yahoo, but MSN too download here

Here you go this is the Offical Instant Messenger from At&t
In Comes with Yahoo Messenger, Aol Instant Messenger, Windows Live Messenger
I have T-Mobile and it works the same I have the T-mobile brand also but its the same thing it just says T-Mobile instead of At&t for the header but the same program. Let me know if you have any questions...

Try Fring
Have you tried Fring. Try it you will not be disappointed. www.fring.com

What about battery consumption of these programs? I tryed fring and it kills my battery in a couple of hours (over 3G). Do you have any comparations?

thanks guys, I have parlingo on my Wizard G3 ROM already, but slick looks nice!

lil76, did you actually get it to work on WM65? I just installed yesterday, and while icon is there, launching it doesn't do anything. Doesn't freeze up, just does... nothing. Using a Dash rommed with Mobile 6.5.
Using Palringo in the meantime, but I truly loved that app for Yahoo/Live Messenger/AIM.

Is there any messenger like BB mess only for android users?

Hi, i would like to have an app that offers me instant free messaging comunication (using data plan) with other droid users, just like blackberry messenger...
This is because my girlfriend is willing to buy a motorola backflip...
Does this app exists? or will exist?

You'll both have a google phone with gmail addresses. Use the built in GTalk application.

Duh!
I feel so stupid right now!
hahahahahaha
ill tell you something, i loove google, but, gtalk is its only service that i dont really use, does this offer instant comunication?is it fast?

Pretty fast, and fairly reliable. Generally if there's a connection issue ur IM gets sent to the receiver as an email to their Gmail account. Definitely works well though. I use it almost exclusively now.

I wish Gtalk on android support facebook talk and others

I use ebuddy, which supports AIM and Facebook Chat.
Had good experiences with it so far.

sorry posted to wrong thread
\

I love GTalk,
The only missing feature IMO is file transfer

Could try Meebo as well. Lets you log in with Facebook, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, icq, jabber, MySpace. Just pick any account and sign in and you'll be able to IM to all the others.
It's not phone specific, but I find it easier to go from Laptop to Phone to Laptop again this way.

Used to use meebo,switchedto this program called fring cause its got sip support. It can connect to all of those above too, seems to do abetter job off reconnecting after a lost signal.
I still keep gtalk open to talk to my brother, it s more reliable than all the others imo

I tried fring, but could not stand the interface. My 7 year old neice could have done a better job.

In the event that I just HAVE to use an IM beside Gtalk, I use Palringo (for Y!, MSN, FBchat) or the actual AIM app from the market. Both are quite capable.

Try fring. It's not bad & I use it for MSN, Skype

I had been looking for a way to reskin it...
nimbuzz was really clean looking but i didnt try it much cause it didnt have sip support

Using gtalk!
i feel sorry for not using it before!!!!

Best Gtalk app?

Hi all,
I'm searching a good app for Google Talk, I use it a lot and I need something speedy, with a good UI, that has a history of the chats (not like Palringo, that erases everithing everytime you close the conversation) and that can runs in background without a huge battery leak.
Can someone suggest me something?
Regards
Kappa

I use
Well for gtalk
ie only gmail chat
i use fring
google search it
runs in background
also has twitter,yahoo,msn n more things but doesnt have facebook instant messenger service
for tht i use fim (facebook instant messenger)
fring needs u to register first
its free, so register a fring acc
im from india, gprs (edge) isnt very reliable here
if my connection goes, i dont know why but fring crashes
even fim crashes!
check them out
they arent troublesome
can be removed without any pain

There is another thread from a few months ago that talks about google talk clients. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654370
In that thread, I recommended both Slick and OZ IM. I've been using OZ lately, but Slick is small & simple. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6019395&postcount=2

While neither of these apps are just Google Talk, they both work well with it. I have been using Slick for several months without any problems, and recently started using OZ IM. Both work great with gtalk.

If I remove Instant Messaging App....

What's a good replacement? Something that functions like Trillian? Need to combine AIM/Yahoo/MSN into one application.
Thanks!

Meebo does this I believe. Never actually tried it myself however.

I like e buddy. Aim was horrible, palringo was awful and others had FB connection problems. It's free and cleaner than most apps like meebo.

Free app I use is palringo.
A friend uses Beehive but its not free I dont think.

Fring is a cross platform IM client, and it is free.

Does removing the stock instant message app do anything to the phone? i been wanting to get rid of it as well

Doesnt OZ messenger use texts? OZ messenger being the included Instant Messenging app. If so I would almost prefer it over any other app since I have unlimited texts and it doesnt ahve to use 3g

Any messenger better than Palringo?

Does anybody know of a good messenger for Android that is better than Palringo in the following ways?
- solid instant messaging
- push to talk style / walkie talkie style voice chat
- able to voice chat with users of other platforms
I would love what Palringo is supposed to be (and what it was on Windows Mobile) but it's just not getting any better on Android.
For now, I am using Tikl Touch to Talk and the Trillian beta. But Tikl doesn't support enough platforms (yet) and it doesn't save the voice messages from you and friends so you can play them back.
I heard Beejive JUST came out for Android. But paying $9.99 for a messenger kinda stinks especially when it too doesn't support all the platforms that friends of mine use. But, I would buy this one if I had to if someone would just tell me if it's "voice notes" feature feels walkie talkie style (do they play when you get them, is it pretty quick to send them? Does it FEEL like walkie talkie? Is it fast?)
So, any suggestions would be appreciated. I just want what Palringo was on Windows Mobile and Windows. Push to talk with history that virtually always works but feels like push to talk and not click to record, click to stop, click to listen). I would pay if I had to but would of course prefer a free app but any app that does things things would be greatly appreciated.
Does anybody know of such an app?

Download TIKL for walkie talkie. Beejive is great even though the price is steep. I think with beejive you have to manually play vice memos. I don't use it for voice memos.

The Pro version costs only $4.95.

Trillian is great and is in a free beta right now

Oh man trillian has been great so far; it handles a bunch of accounts perfectly and the continue to develop it frequently.

+1 for Trillian. It's my IM program of choice on the PC, and the Android version is stellar!

Been using Trillian and like it, the battery use seems good as it takes advantage of Google’s C2DM service...
I also like eBuddy; anyone know if it uses Google’s C2DM service also? Just wondering, C2DM should offer better battery, right?
FYI- I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but an updated version of Trillian was released yesterday (can't post links yet) w w w. trillian. im/get/android/

You are right, Trillian definitely runs in the background...
I just was repeating what they mentioned in their blog-
http://blog.ceruleanstudios.com/?p=1612
It says there it uses C2DM. If it doesn't they should change that blog entry...

Try imo. The best one in my opinion, all the others always force close or sign you off our won't even let you sign on.

I prefer trillian beta for IM. I always keep the battery saving mode (which simply says that it polls less, not that it doesn't poll at all) on and still IM just fine. It's also one of the few free IM apps that does facebook chat decently.
eBuddy kept showing me contacts that I had either blocked or deleted a long time ago on msn for some reason.
imo.im decided to not allow me to see IM's from one of my contacts, and when i asked them about it, they ran me through the usual steps for troubleshooting apps: logout/login, logout then clear data then login, logout then clear data then uninstall then reinstall then login, but when it still didn't work they stopped contacting me.
