I found this app last week and have been very impressed with it, it's currently in beta stage now on Android, and will support Android, Blackberry, & iPhone.
It works with a pin, has unlimited messaging, no restriction on character limits etc. You can use this as a stand alone app or as your sms text app as well.
It shows current status, message delivered indicator, message read indicator and more.
A very nice start to what looks to be a very promising app for all smart phones.

(disclaimer- I have nothing to do with this app, just sharing a good find)
Thanks for sharing!
Damn. Hoped you meant a multi-network app. Like MSN/Aim/Yahoo and so on. Not another BBM remake. We already got PingChat and WhatsApp.
I wasn't aware of ping chat... it looks to be nice as well.... this is just what I found and it works so fast and simple, I thought I would share it.
One main difference I see is the other apps only work for those that have the app installed... as this will also work as your sms/text messenger.
I haven't tested the others yet.. but I will now to see how they compare.
Using PingChat but will give this a try, thanks!
But I don't think I'll use it regulary since everyone knows im using PingChat
this to BBM?
how do i add a friend that uses a blackberry? can they use their BBM program or do they have to get this program? where do i find their pin?
are the sms free as well?
Just use WhatsApp..
It already does everything this can do, its out and it integrates with your phone contacts
Live Profile will be nice when it releases the iPhone and Blackberry apps.
I've been using Kik Messenger (http://kik.com/) and have been really liking it.

Hey, does this work with FaceBook chat??
gave it a try but in 30min it drained my battery form 100% to 85%. i hadn't received or sent any messages and it was simply in my pocket. i didnt even have any friends added yet.
i wanna be able to use it when the BB version comes out but the battery drain is enourmous

I've been using "eBuddy", as a muti-network IM client. It works on: MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Google Talk, MySpace, ICQ, Hyves, and Facebook! It works well, and doesn't seem to eat too much battery.
Cheers.
I use aim for facebook chat, does this do facebook chat?
I dont really know anyone who still uses instant messengers other than well sms/text messaging.
just another pingchat & whatsapp application????
will give it a spin when the other os r ready
So this thing uses polling and not push? No, thanks...
ok well after some playing this app certainly polls. My phone, which typically gets me 2 days of light to moderate usage, went from 100% charge down to 7% in 6 hours. Additionally taking a look at the comments in the market you can see others are noticing it as well. The problem is a phone must function as a phone first, all other stuff is secondary. If the phone cannot maintain a charge, it's a $500 paperweight.
You have an awesome app so I'd like to make some suggestions and let me preface by saying i make them with all due respect.
- You really need to push not poll. This saves a ton on battery as the server is doing the heavy lifting and also means no need for a wakelock
- With the suggestion above it means you may need to adjust your business model. Servers come at a cost, you have the initial purchase, maintenance, plus monthly charges of running them (power, broadband). the way BlackBerry gets away with this is by indirectly charging the customer straight through the carrier. When you purchase a BB you get a nice little BB tax of $20 or $30 thrown onto your bill which covers monthly use of the push servers for such things as email and BB messenger. You cant do this, nobody would pay an extra monthly fee so you will need to think outside of the box.
a) look into using admob and putting adds into the settings menus and other non-intrusive places. This should hopefully cover some of the costs.
b) Charge for the app upfront (this is in addition to the ad's). Charge a buck or two at the time of purchase.
c) Make it more than just Liveprofile messages and text. Add in some other services to make this a must have app such as facebook chat or gtalk which would also be pushed through the server. People would buy an app with facebook chat that does push for that purpose alone! I suggested gtalk as well because of its deep integration to google, with android getting as large as it is, gtalk is becoming more and more popular. The current gtalk app that comes with android is push, works beautifully, and barely uses battery.
d) Maybe think of a way to create a group license package that you could market to large companies which could help bring in lump sums of cash plus the additional exposure to the ad's (point a).
here is a link to an article which you may find of value.
Again great work. I hope to see this with push servers in the near future because i can easily see this becoming everyones "must have" application.

After seeing the iPhone 4.0 way of handling mail, I kinda feel like the android is behind in this area. Or it could be I just don't know of a good mail application.
I've used K9 and Moxier(of course) but both seem very lacking in fluidity and overall appearance.
Also any app I use that checks mail automatically drains my battery *fast*
Here's a screen of my battery with and without automatic mail updates on.
Both are when the phone is supposed to be sleeping.

The reason I want an app to check mail automatically other than my default gmail address is I have other addresses I use for work and would like to be notified as I get mail and not have to do it manually all without worrying about my battery being drained uber fast.
i always use K-9 ive not found any other worth using really.

its okay kinda clunky when scrolling through your email. It doesn't save your emails so yeh it kinda bogs down.

re:

Sorry to disappoint you but the best of the apps (like K-9) concentrate on providing functionality rather than appearance. K-9 is one of the most fully featured mail apps that I've found so far.
The issue with the battery drain can be resolved simply by using push email providers. Polling is inherently inefficient and probably in your case causing the battery drain (even though I dont really think so, just by looking at the graphs you posted).

now now, no need for the insults . I don't use an iPhone, nor do I touch them often. I saw one and was impressed and wondered if there was something that had that level of fluidity. Is it a crime that I ask publicly about some secret gem that might be hiding under various radars? .

I wonder how the native gmail app handles it? I get an email alert as I get sent mail yet battery drain is extremely low. Does Gmail and this app utilize the push thing that you're speaking of? I believe my problem would be solved via the android update which allows multiple mail accounts instead of just one.
@joelangley
Cheers for being a great developer . I look forward to trying out your update .
Apologizes for the double post + bump. I just want to state that after using maildroid for the 2 weeks I'm extremely impressed. Battery drain is at a minimum and I get updates from my other accounts nearly instantly. There are occasions when I haven't been notified but those times have been few and far between.
Good job maildroid . Now if only the ui can be updated with a bit more polish it'd be golden .
Who do we have to contact to get a decent Facebook app?? I don't use it all the much but when I do use it it makes me want to cry... lol
I wonder the same thing, you get linked to the mobile website to do just about anything, so what purpose is the app serving? it's a complete fail compared to the iphone version
... because the iPhone version gets all the attention ... which is a shame.
I've been using the "touch" version of Facebook and it's great.
Just be glad it isn't the Windows Mobile (not even made by Facebook, but Microsoft) version I was using before I jumped shipped to Android. eewwwwwww
haha but honestly there are more android users now than iphone... you would think they would start to do something about it... I almost never get notifications... fail.... haha
I agree is horrible if I wanna use browser I wouldn't need I'm app pointless I rather use the browser why do I need an app that's gonna take space and still gonna send me to the browser I rather go straight so I don't waste time.

You might want to check your math on that one. Just because Android has started outselling iOS in recent months doesn't mean there are more people using it.

So true. I miss my notifications. Then when I click on the app notifications it takes me to the mobile version of Facebook instead of the app version. It makes no sense. You also can't click on a persons profile pic, it'll take you to their profile as opposed to their pick.

And to the people not getting notifications.. are you guys sure you have auto sync enabled :| .. and what is your interval set to see if you toasted a notification? 15min? 2hours?

The notifications on the iPhone facebook were realtime, meaning there was no check or if there was it was about a 2 minute check. Perhaps that's AT&T's handywork.

P.S. I hope they update this app, its buggy and lacks some pretty basic functionality.

Yes, the app sucks big time, especially compared to the iOS version. Does facebook even make the android app? I thought I read at one point some 3rd party company made it. That the only ones facebook makes are the Blackberry and iOS versions.
But no way there are more android users than iOS. Its not even close. Android is finally selling more phones than iphones, but that doesnt even include ipod touches, or ipads. Also, iphone had a huge lead in total users. At the pace they're both going at, it will be years before android surpasses iOS in total users.

Yes, the iphone version used push notifications, so the alerts were in real time. The android version you have to set the check interval. MAybe that will change once 2.2 becomes more universally adopted because 2.2 now has something similar to push notifications.
All it really needs is Video Upload and to stop redirecting you to the browser.

Cloud to SMS allows you to send messages from your browser, through your phone using the Android notification system (C2DM). The purpose of the app is to allow users (You!) to send SMS messages using their phones existing carrier account without having to touch their phone.
Requires Froyo (Android 2.2) or higher.

Beta of "free" version released to marketplace.
Allows you to send up to 7 messages a day, premium version beta coming in a few days with a release in about 2 weeks.
Grab the beta of the Chrome extension here: http://www.cloudtosms.com/files/cloudtosms-chrome-extension.crx
Feedback welcome
In case anyone is interested, this app is now in Beta and I will be releasing it to market soon.
Send and receive SMS messages from the website
All messages secured by SSL both ways
I will be making a Chrome plugin very soon so you don't need to browse to the website to send/receive.
http://www.cloudtosms.com/?page_id=15
This app has a ton of potential. Can't wait for that Chrome extension!
I could see this having a ton of uses. One being it could grab an entire group of contacts from your Gmail account (or export them from what ever place you prefer to store your contacts and import them directly to the online app -though kind of a concern issue for obvious security reasons). Then you could send bulk Txt's much easier than directly on the phone. It could even schedule them, etc. I frequently have to send out mass texts to different groups and it could save me a lot of time every week if it had those functions.
Feel free to PM me for brainstorming!
Thanks for the feedback.
Will definitely add "Groups" in a future version of the webapp.
I don't store any contacts on the server, its all handled by javascript on the client side (e.g. by your computers browser). If there are other contact sources that work like the Google Contacts API (e.g. allow un-cached display of contacts) I could attempt to add support.
Scheduling is an interesting idea and something to consider in future versions.
One thing to keep in mind is Google limit the amount of messages sent through C2DM, so bulk messages would only work to a certain point.
wonderful app, tons of potential. works perfectly on my spica running cm6.1 rc1. thanks rolf!
Very cool concept. I'll try it out shortly.
First release of the chrome extension is good to go. I haven't tested it on any PC's aside from my own so it might not work, please advise if you try it out:
http://www.cloudtosms.com/?page_id=15
nice man, keep it up
This is an awesome app!!! Runs fast and smooth on my Desire with Teppics pre-rooted stock rom.
Two things:
I would like to able to prevent the notification sound when sending messages. I thought I could turn it off in Settings but either I cannot understand the meaning of "Use notification sound" or the feature doesn't work ;-)
Also an option to prevent the status bar notification icon and notification entry would be nice.
Otherwise awesome!
[edit]
Oh! One more thing: The web page (https://cloudtosms.appspot.com/) seems to hang when fetching contacts (I have about 250 contacts)...
And of course Google Apps support would also be nice so that I don't have to manually export/import my contacts between two accounts.
[/edit]
./kroogar
AWESOME!
This is what I have been waiting for forever!
Chrome extension is awesome, would love a firefox one, too.
Even better would be a standalone app.
Also push ALL notifications from phone back to the cloud.
You would be truly amazing.
Cannot load page
This morning (as of right now) I cannot load the page https://cloudtosms.appspot.com in either Chrome or Firefox. It seems there is a piece of JavaScript that will not load. The page hangs until the browser complains. It's preventing me from logging in :-(
I'm using Chrome 9.0.570.0 and Firefox 3.6.12.
[edit]
Actually managed to get to the log in page by pressing the Sign in link as soon as the page starts loading. After log in the page still hangs trying to fetch my contacts...
[/edit]
I think this might be the pubnub servers being slow. I might cache their Javascript to fix this problem. Can you confirm if the problem is still occuring?
EDIT: this should be fixed now
the feedbak for this app is really good, but I still don't get what is this for. Maybe a short explanation would be a good idea.
Thanks!

Hmm... now nine hours after my attempt this morning I have conquered the snow and reached home - unfortunately just to realize the problem still occurs :-( In Chrome I'm already signed in and it just sits there fetching contacts. In Firefox I'm not signed in and problem is the same as described earlier.
I have not at any point been able to see my contacts on the web page. They do seem to be loaded just fine in the Chrome extension though...
Maybe you like a another icon? Today i created one... maybe you like it..
Let me know what you think about it
Hrm... Darn Javascript.
If you press ctrl+shift+j in Chrome or Forefox it will show the Javascript error console, does this show you any errors?
Does it work if you browse incognito?
If you want to email me kroogar to get instant responses please feel free (my username at gmail.com)
Sinas: it is a much cleaner icon, I will try it in the build and see how it looks
Installed and working with minimal fuss. Very impressed (currently using sms2pc)
However, despite refreshing the chrome tab only 361 of my 500+ contacts appear. Same happens through the webpage. Happy to help test larger contact lists if it helps
Super job so far.
Hello all, wanted user feedback on the following:
1) What is the best cross-platform messaging application for Android that you use (and why)? So far, I know of Whatsapp, and Klik, but are there others that dont require any annual subscription, work on Android, Win 7, iPhone and Blackberry, and have a neat UI?
2) What is the best IM application for Android? Should be able to do Skype, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, ICQ, Jabber, etc, including multiple accounts for a protocol. I know of Meebo, IM+, but what other do you use (and why do you like it)?
Thanks
1>Handsent SMS
2>Go SMS
3>Chomp SMS
1) I preferred KiK over WhatsApp as the former had a cleaner UI and seemed a lot less bloated. On the other hand WhatsApp has it's wide array of features like file sharing that is missing in KiK. KiK cannot be truly considered cross platform however because it's available for BlackBerrys.
An up-and-comer is LiveProfile http://www.appbrain.com/app/liveprofile-beta/com.liveprofile.android
I liked LP as it had probably the best UI out of all the clients available while it also incorporated SMS into the client to make it an all encompassing messaging client. The only thing they are missing is integration with ICQ/Gtalk/MSN etc. which may be a feature added in the future. The app just released their versions for BB and iPhones so it's slowly getting off the ground but it seems to have the best potential out of all the clients available.
2) I tried Trillian and it seemed to work well. Again, a very nice UI and worked with almost all messaging protocols. I stopped using it because I mainly only use gTalk anyways so I went back to the stock gTalk client.
Give IM+ a new try.
In the latest 3.3 version:
Smoother UI graphics
MSN and Skype group chats
Swipe-switching between chats
Login with several accounts for one IM service
Geo-status and Geo-location sending
Chat or history sending by email
Many bugfixes and performance improvements!
You can grab free IM+ for Android at our website w ww.shapeservices.c0m or at Android Market.

Does im+ support multiple location login for msn/live messenger accounts?
I use palringo in my opinion its the best app for mutiple IM programs like Jabber, Gtalk, Yahoo, AIM, and even Faceboook Myself as a Winmo/Droid user I needed a and app that allowed me Gtalk access cause I rep the GreenDot Im (GDO) Green Dot Official Your either green or your not. Palringo took care of my messaging needs and I recommend it to all. If the creators get KiK support its over for all other companies I tell you

WhatsApp is the best one I've used.
It uses C2DM on 2.2+. File Transfer. Location. Cross-Platform. No need to register for another account, invite users with it, make a screen name, etc.
Messages get delivered fast and there are Delivery statuses in the app.
It's also cheaper than those commercial IM apps.
I was just looking at the IM+ website (Google brought this thread up), and the price is ludicrous.
If I feel the need to use an IM app, then I'd probably go with BeejiveIM. It looks better, and uses PUSH on FroYo and Gingerbread.
If IM+ supports PUSH then their marketing dept needs to get on it. They clearly list it for Windows Mobile (???) and iOS, but not Android...
Beejive is not as good on android as it is on my old bb9700 but its still good. Not too taxing on battry and has gchat push notifications to save some juice. Its cross platform but licenses don't xfer cross platform. However on android they are tied to your Gmail account. Its a but costly but was worth it. Deleted my facebook so I chat exclusively on gchat now so no need for it.

Yes, it does, you can try the free version and tell us what you're thinking.

WhatsApp is the best one I've used.
It uses C2DM on 2.2+. File Transfer. Location. Cross-Platform. No need to register for another account, invite users with it, make a screen name, etc.
Messages get delivered fast and there are Delivery statuses in the app.
It's also cheaper than those commercial IM apps.
I was just looking at the IM+ website (Google brought this thread up), and the price is ludicrous.
If I feel the need to use an IM app, then I'd probably go with BeejiveIM. It looks better, and uses PUSH on FroYo and Gingerbread.
If IM+ supports PUSH then their marketing dept needs to get on it. They clearly list it for Windows Mobile (???) and iOS, but not Android...

You can try the ad-based free version of IM+, it has all the same functionality as Pro version. If you will, don't hesitate to leave your feedback here. Push, along with other new features, is coming for Android in next 1-2 months.
Google Talk + XMPP Transports = WIN
IMO im.
Handsdown the best free app Ive used.

It does support multiple location but functionality seems to be a bit hit & miss. It doesn't always detect messages if chat windows were already open on my desktop client, doesn't detect messages when the desktop client is in invisible mode and it changed my desktop's client status message to on android with im+.
MOD EDIT: Please remember not to link to WhatsApp Plus APKs or download sources due to copyright issues (DMCA).
The time has come. The moody WhatsApp team does not like themeable apps with much more comfort for users than there own little app without customization options.
That's what you'll see

Why am I banned for using WhatsApp Plus and how do I get unbanned?

I don't know if this thread here is "legal" because it is concerning WhatsApp PLUS.. but I just wanted to let you know guys :good:
light at the end of the tunnel
R.I.P. WhatsApp+
Very sad of WhatsApp Inc., or should I say Facebook? I think it was ****erberg's idea to shut down the better brother of WhatsApp.
Very very sad, instead of partnering up and exchange features they kill one of the best app ever.
Normal WhatsApp wont be as good as the PLUS version... never.
Legends may sleep, but they never die.
Banned
Banned for 24 hours!!!!
Need help!!!

Thanks I was about to create a thread like this, but then I've just seen your post.
Today I also have been banned for 24 hours because I'm using WhatsApp Plus.
Now, I have installed WhatsApp from the Play Store and I guess I just have to wait 24 hours before I can use it again.
See screenshot attached.
I backed up my WA+ data and escaped the ban I guess, running the original version :angel:
But to be honest.... it's a weird feeling seeing the original whatsapp.. I don't know.. but the design and the functionalities of the original app aren't contemporary anymore in my eyes

Yeah, you're right. I've used WhatsApp Plus with material design theme and it looked so awesome. The original one is just ugly :silly:
Edit: I honestly think they should have pushed a little message or a warning like "Your account will be banned in X hours because you may have violated our terms of service. Please install the original WhatsApp from the play store" or something like that.
Edit 2: I've wrote an email to WhatsApp regarding a possible unlock before the end of the 24 hours.
Surprisingly I just got an answer which is just a basic information about payment and stuff. Not a single word about the ban.

I wrote them a nice long angry email, I find the ban to be ridiculous. They should have at least released a notification or something before handing out the ban. They're just pushing their user database.
Got me too lol.. Oh well I rarely use it anyway and im sure alot of people will be upset about this.. The makers of whatsapp+ don't even charge for their work and ya still need a valid account with WhatsApp to even use it.. Either the official app starts allowing users to freedom of customization that + does or I'm taking my 99 cents elsewhere!!! Lol
I wonder what happens if you keep using whatsapp plus, perma ban or what? They will probably bypass it anyway again but will they give a harder punishment then 1 day? I would really miss all the plus features which you can't get on the normal version. Well 22:22:53 Hours:Minutes:Seconds to go. Thankyou Whatsapp:good:
I send an email to [email protected] and that is the answer I've got
too late. i'm banned

Yeah, I got that too. I called them and they simply said it's a generic email being sent to everyone who's complaining about their bans. I told them I uninstalled Plus and installed the regular version, they refused to lift the ban. It's "punishment" of sorts.
I am still use whatsapp+ without banning bullsh*t......guess I'm the Lucky one:fingers-crossed:
Anyone have a fix?
Any fix on a short time?
They don't even read emails

I am not sure but I think that whatsapp plus developers would think of a solution. But if whatsapp can see it again they might give a heavier punishment. There's nothing wrong with the original whatsapp but I just like the theming ability and to remove some retarded limits which just screws the whole audio files and images. Also it's nice to see when someone is online
@mihir.mehta they won't talk about this with mail.
That's why I moved to Telegram.
WA is becoming worse and worse every day.
no problem here running whats app plus and i hope developers will find a way out of it soon
Its a shame this, specially on android. had to uninstall plus and devs doesnt have a fix for that. WA is so awful, laggy and old and now they r banning because of their incompetence. Shame on you Facebook.
bye bye whatsapp
if they still ban me after 24 hours i dont give a
For me hangouts is better then stock whatsapp. its backups my pictures and i can use gifs.
