Is there an app that combines gmail and aim chats into one?
I tried looking for chat programs or anything like that through search but I suck at it... Sorry if this is repeating any posts.
ebuddy works well for me.
That's i'll give that a try

Fring can use Google Talk, AIM, MSN, Skype, etc. etc....
Plus can do video calls from phone to phone (Fring -> Fring) and phone to computer (and vice versa, Fring -> Skype).
Can ebuddy do multiple accounts on a single protocol. I have two aim, two msn, and a couple yahoo accounts, and id like to connect to all of them at once.
eBuddy
I used eBuddy for a while on my Hero and it was a horrible battery drain.
It can.

eBuddy, Palringo, or Meebo are probably the most widely used apps.

Anybody got some input on this? I am currently using Hi MSN and it keeps showing me offline to my contacts but it works fine on my end. I have tried MSN droid, ebuddy with no success. They all have some weird issue. So wondering what others are using.

speaking the truth
i just use IM.apk. i think it's from the g1, modded to work on other carriers and/or phones. it's not amazing, but it's free and works decently with aim and msn for me (also does yahoo). i got it from xda, can't find the apk on here right now, but here's the one i have http :// goo . gl / Jcuz (can't post links)
I'm using "Messenger" from the Market.. it's like a full rip of Windows Live Messenger. The UI is rather clunky and clumsy, but the functionality is all there. Do get random drop outs though.
Sometimes it's an error on Microsoft's server side that's causing you to appear offline to others. I even have this problem come up on my computer's Windows Live Messenger.
Usually you just wait a day and log in again and your problem is gone.
As for IM app, I'm using Ebuddy. No problems so far.

I'm not using it anymore sorry. And I tried looking for the apk myself and couldn't find it in my phone. Looks like they took it off market cos it probably infringed copyrights (a lot of the graphics of the app were ripped straight from the Windows Live Messenger app on pc)
EDIT: in saying so, I'm back to eBuddy. Also, give MSN Talk a try.
I use Nimbuzz. Works fine for my MSN and Facebook chat
I highly suggest you try out Meebo, if you create an account it runs many clients at the same time (like, Messenger, AIM, Facebook, etc.) and it keeps chat logs.
Msn droid works great for me...
MEEBO is very nice! +1
MSN TALK

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

hah yeah thats one thing i forgot to mention, the interface is absolutely horrid. looks like someone drew it with a crayon.
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!!!!

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.

Moved as not software release.
This is my first post here. I've read and learned lots from all of you, now I have a question that I can't find an answer to our figure out on my own.
I've searched and searched and tried pidgin, jabber, etc. and can not figure out how to populate my gtalk with facebook chat. Can anyone help me do this? I'd really like to use something like Facebook connect to add them, similar to what aim uses. I have an Incredible.

Check out Meebo. It connects a bunch of different messengers like Facebook, Talk, Yahoo, MSN, AIM, Windows Live, etc. Really, I haven't heard of any popular messengers that it doesn't work with...

I really want to use Gtalk since it is already integrated into Android. I currently use ebuddy for chat but it's a battery hog. Gtalk doesn't seem to eat as much battery. I know Facebook and Google are in a huge pissing match over $$$$ and there is NO WAY Facebook would ever open their doors and let Google in, but I thought there might be a work around that I could use to get it done myself. I'm just not that smart.
eBuddy (free app Market) - MSN, Yahoo chat, AIM, Gtalk, FaceBook, ICQ, MySpace
Works like a charm
yeah or just use a jabber transport --> but be carefull, it WILL mess with ur contacts
please let me know if you find anything. i have tried just about every IM client out there and the battery problem is almost ridiculous. both my g1 and my vibrant drain 10% per hour on idle if i am connected to an aim client, whereas it drains 1% every 2-3 hours when i kill the aim client with ATK.
I just followed http://technobuz.com/2011/05/add-facebook-chat-to-google-chat/ and it's working like a champ. It didn't mess up any of my contacts either, which is a good thing, because I keep them clean and neat as can be.
Only flaw is some facebook profiles show up as random numbers while others actually show their names. I just sent them a quick "hi" then looked on facebook messages to see who they were, and changed the name in Google Talk.
Anybody know a good app for the facebook chat? Or just use the one through the Facebook App
facebook actually made a messanger app!
I haven't tried the Facebook chat app, but it could be great. I usually use either eBuddy or Imo Messenger, since they also support aim, Yahoo, etc.
Edit: I've never tried this, but doesn't the regular Facebook app do chat as well?
yeah the regulaur app has chat!
