Official MSN Messenger for Android - Android Apps and Games

MSN China has just released the official msn application for android phones.
I don't think it has been released in the market yet.
It is free but it contains ads...and yeah
the app is in chinese!!
I hope the english version is going to release soon!!
http://3g.msn.cn/MobileMSN.html

Thanks for sharing but not gonna download it until an English/International version is available.

Suweeeett! Even seems to support sending photos/voice like the WinMo app. Too bad I don't understand a single word Chinese, so I can't even find a download.

I downloaded it from your link, it works on English systems in English.
Here's the link to download the .apk installer (I choose Hero in the list, but it should be the same for other device I guess)
I upload it on megaupload because I was able to download it from a javascrip popup so I could not copy the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4IMRJX9C
I gave it a try and didn't find it revolutionnary, I guess some other apps on the market are better. What do you think?
Cheers

Well, I just tried it as well and it's quite good. Even supports real file transfer. Just amazing. The UI can use a little polish but it works. For me it's almost all in Chinese by the way.

I managed to pull of the direct link.
Here you go guys.

Think it's possible to translate it to English in some way?

This app is so ugly, it makes me depressed.

I could possibly help in translating it if I know which files contain the chinese characters that way i could replace them with english.

I'd say the app is pretty good and packs a lot of features which are better than many other IM apps.
It would be perfect if they can polish the interface more a little bit and add call or video call feature.

Great find, finally Microsoft is doing something. But sadly they could do better with the graphics.

Ok. MSN for android is really fugly. Microsoft made such a prettier version for the iphone. http://www.walyou.com/blog/2010/06/24/microsoft-windows-live-messenger-iphone-ipod-touch/ I've downloaded it on my ipod touch and it is simply stunning.

I have 4 digit pincode and this official version is not accepting my pin code which i use with other 3rd party applications with no problems,just because it is 4 digits.Anyone has an idea??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sign in not allowed for me :S

i quiet like it, i hope it's released into the market and we see updates

This is great. I've been waiting for an official MSN messenger app for Android for some time. Works good on my Nexus One.

UI isn't that bad guys...
App works brilliant, and all in english
BTW there is a hacked version out there without ads
And I believe this app was not developed in house by microsoft, instead by "pica", but it still is official in a sense, as it is featured on the official msn china website.

found it in the market

I guess you need to set your phone's language to English. Bleh, I want a normal decent multilangual msn app.
Come on, its time for one. Android's market share is pretty big so why not, MS? Of course! Because it's an open-source system.. great..

XDA newbie

Hi all, these PDA gadgets is all new to me so I thought I would start with something quite cheap (in case I am too thick and cannot follow)..
So I got this XDA but i can't really find any use with it.. Most webpages i come across saying that its in-compatible and also the pre-loaded MSN messenger saying that it won;t work with that version( then why on earth is that pre-installed?) also the webmessenger again is not working... nor the ICQ... So.. what exactly can i do with it??
bit fustrating really..
Sorry if my questions have been covered but doing a search and seems that everything is too techy like different ROM and things that I do not seemto understand too well..
Thanks in advance..
ms have a update of messenger which is required
to be installed because the version of messenger in the rom
is OLD
re webbrowser.
Use a new browser, ou multie or tweak2k to change broswer's 'id' so it's seen as internet explorer for compatibility.
V
hmmmm.. ok ... cheers for the info.. now the next question is.. How and what do i need to update??
which Rom can help me to browse?? Also i guess there is no way out about the messenger then.,...??
thank you
as i said ms have an update you have to run to get messenger working
if you get a newer rom it may not be necessary though
can you tell me if that update is downloadable and where??
or what is the version called?
thank you so much
it's always the last place you look

MusicID (shazam)

Hi all,
From yesterday MusicID is no longer working.
I got the following result after it analyses music
Track: Ugrade Now!
Artist: Get Shazam
I got an upgrade link that leads me nowhere (this is not possible to go any futher).
Anyone knows why?
I visited www.shazam.com put there are no WM version available. But there are RIM, iPhone, Symbian, Android,... versions...
Any MusicID alternative? (I know that Samsung developped a similar application, available with the new i8000 Omnia 2)
Thx in advance for your help.
Still working for me
I hadn't used it in awhile, so I fired it up after reading your post.
It could be the version you have installed. Someone said that at least one of the versions was tied to a particular persons account, so that account could at some point stop working, but that's just a theory.
I'm using 1.3.16_QVGA by Lepsyfou.
try www.musicid2.com

Alternative found
Just follow this link: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/08...app-ported-for-all-windows-mobile-phones.html
This app is even better than Shazam as you can sing or hum a song in order to find the author name and the title of the track.
It works just perfect on my Touch HD!!!
Great find!
The UI fits the HD much better too. The reg edit to make it work from the phones data connection as well as wifi is a bit annoying, but worth the small hassle
Thanks for the update Dino.

1800 link seems to imply its no longer freely available, and the downloads gone.
Its available free of charge here and seems to be most recent version, works perfectly on my HD2 without any need for registry hacks.

Newest Updated Swype Thread

I was wondering if we could start a thread somewhere on these forums to keep track of the newest swype versions. I'm one of many users here still waiting to be a member of swype beta. So i constantly find myself searching for newer versions of swype, and for for various different screen types. so can we start a thread so everyone knows what the newest version is. I've seen the following versions of swype on these forums:
Swype 1.16.12.5228.219
Swype 1.25.16.56
Swype 1.29.18-1.5909
Does anyone Know of newer versions of swype for android?
dont get to excited, they dont let you know of updates when you are part of the beta...and you apperently have a download limit and when you redownload the swype app that # of times your account it stopped. its so people dont shear there account with others

Yes, depending on your phone..
Screen size must be HVGA (like the Dream or Magic).
Also, it's an older version, but it works fine.

I'm also looking for a working french version of swype for Nexus One....
I found a version called "/swype.v1.25.15.56122FrenchInsteadSpanish.apk" on this forum but it is not working on the nexus one due to improper screen size....
edit:
I ended up downloading shapewriter from the market, it's free and has multiple dictionaries available
I have the one released today.
1.56.30.7625.t100

World Cup 2010 app?

Is anyone aware of a WC2010 app for the HD2? Having one showing fixtures, groups etc. would be ideal.

Great program.
I have been using it and it is on par with FotMob.
Gui is better in FotMob, but this one is Free.
​
For the German Members: Resco WM Mobil 2010 is the BEST app you can think of for following the world cup, teams, games, stats, news and much more. To say it shortly --> Functionality and UI is really superior and well worth its price !!! At the moment you can get it for a discount price of 6,95 Euro (instead of 10 Euro).
http://pocketland.de/30350/WM_Mobil_2010.html
Yes I remember Resco having the same app for 2006 World Cup...I wonder where the English version is though...
Yea, english version is a must please. there must be one. is it not possible to change the german version in to english. im a bit of a noob so dnt no the practicalities of this. but pleeeeease there must be a english version or another good app sumwer. ITS THE WORLD CUP!! easily the biggest competition ever!
@ elburna ref: wm mobil 2010
thanks for the hint (oder danke fuer den tip ???).
definitely worth the money and runs perfectly well on my Leo.
now i'm all set and ready to go. SA here we come !!!
cons: you not only have to speak german, you also gotta be favouring the german team for the tournament, as you apparently cannot switch your favourite from germany to any other team ...
Please keep follow up this thread

It says on the site that you need Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 3.5 installed prior to installing the app. My rom (Elegencia) had this cooked in so I just installed the cab and it just ran!
You can download the Compact framework here -

For a free app this is excellent!

thanks for your answer. but i do know that and in artemis rom there's also the cf 3.5 included. trying to install it in the device instead of sd-card...maybe this helps...
EDIT: unfortunately, installing to device memory didn't help either :-(
Hi, i cannot download from this link. http://www.mobilepractices.com/ for some reason when i try to download the app it just takes me to a web page with all jumbled up writing i can't understand. Can anyone supply the cab file from here? Its free after all.
Got it working, downloaded it using internet explorer. I really like the UI in this i think it is amazing. only thing i dnt like is that to scroll left or right you have to drag from the top of the screen, and on the HTC HD2 this isnt so easy. maybe for future apps this could address by making a small bar at the bottom to scroll with perhaps. not sure really. otherwise the app is amazing. Wont know if the app works completely untill the compitition starts and updates start to come in.
CHEERS!
i have the same like you man, just see a full page of keters and crazy numbers

On my Hd2 is not working and I have .NET CF3.5 installed.
I downloaded direct to my HD2 and it is working (and updating) without problem. Excellent looking app with a great UI. Hope the developer keeps it updated after each match.
When I get home and get the cab off the phone, I will upload here if it is still needed. Cab file attached

[Q] [ALL] Any Google Talk/Yahoo Messenger compatible apps for the WP7?

Are there any applications for chatting on Google Talk (I believe it's the Jabber/XMPP protocol) and/or Yahoo Messenger available for WP7?
Specifically, I have an LG Optimus 7.
Same question here - anybody interested in starting a homebrew effort?
IM+ is coming, hopefully sooner rather than later.
I imagine the lack of socket support makes things a little more difficult for developers.
I heard Yahoo had a webapi (http)? I would try but it's christmas season and I got deadlines to meet at work, with a webapi a yahoo client should be easy to develop
+1 for a yahoo messenger

Sorry for bringing up old thread.
I just got a WP7 today (T-Mobile HTC HD7)
I'm looking for Flory but can't find it.
Did a few Google searches and found that International English versions is out in the marketplace... but I can't find it?
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: gah lame, they stopped because IM+ is out.

N/M, it's not out... Flory stopped their app because IM+ is coming out.... sigh.
What's with WP7 devs man? I'm finding a lot are like that, great app then a few weeks later, take it off the market for some stupid reason.
You won't see much until Mango because the API's developers need to really make IM's work isn't in current OS builds. Flory was horrid, and I don't think IM+ will be that great as it still needs to rely on a 3rd party server system to do notifications.
There is also no multitasking until Mango which is needed for the ability to have it run in the background and notify you when somebody sends you a message.
yea i need 1 to
