[Q] Help with Yahoo Messenger for Evo - General Questions and Answers

Two weeks ago, I downloaded three apk files that enabled video chat from Evo to PC through yahoo messenger.
now when i open messenger I get a pop up window that says my version of messenger is not compatible with the version of yahoo mail i am using. it hten gives me two options, update and exit.
When I click update, it takes me to a website but gives an error message. Is there anything I can do to get my video chat back?

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

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.

[Q] Google Mail isn't that good - any way to improve it?

While I think the Google Mail app is ALRIGHT I think it needs quite some improvement so I am wondering if there is either a good alternative to it or if someone added features to it / modded it.
1) problem:
i can't select any text from any emails (written by others or myself) which isn't too great when writing emails.
is there any app for selecting text maybe? it's something i miss a lot on android. if i want to select text on a website I need to switch to Skyfire.
I just can't believe coding a text selection is really hard so I don't understand why google didn't add it themselves yet.
2) problem:
when I'm on the go and sending an email and the CONNECTION dies for a moment the Google Mail app will be stuck at "Sending..."
I guess it is stuck in a loop then and it won't send out my email but I also can't go back so I can only close Google Mail with a taskmanager.
Can't this be fixed, too?
I just want a GO BACK feature so that it won't get stuck in a loop. Maybe just an automatic Save Draft just when someone clicks Send and then goes to the Send process and then you get the option to force close that and just go back- I dont know.
not sure what phone you have or what apps come standard so.....
i dont use the gmail app period. turned off notifications and disabled gmail sync in the sync menu. I use the regular Mail app that came standard (HTC Hero) for all 3 of my email accounts, yahoo, gmail, and hotmail. never have any problems out of it.
EDIT: Mail app will select text and if connection dies when sending mail, it will pick up where it left off when the next scheduled sync takes place.

I too use the default mail app (this time CM6 on a nexus1), but if you don't like that one you might want to check out K9 Mail. I think its free from the market (or various places online if you don't have access/market enabler).

Facebook chat in Mango Beta 2 not reciving all messages..

Does anyone know whats wrong with messenger..?
In my Omnia 7 running Mango beta 2 the facebook chat messages stoped arriving..
It all worked since I updated but know it stoped working... I can see all my contacts and they can see my but I just don't get all the messages..
If they send 6 I get 1 if any... And they don't get mine... And other times they jsut get 1 of them... Stange... :S
Did you turn "Facebook Chat" on?
I can't even get past that step, all I get is a dead page.
Mine, with Mango, doesn't show FB content. The only thing the people hub shows is Windows Live content. I have the FB account setup, too. My Focus with NoDo shows FB content, though.
Oooops...spoke too soon. It just now started showing FB content...this is the first time since flashing Mango that it has shown. lol...maybe it was waiting for the opportunity to contradict me.
In mine everything about facebook works great.. All content of all kinds... Friends, calender.. All of it..
The only thing not working well is the facebook chat.. Messenger works great... But only in facebook chat messages don't show up, or just one out of 5 sent to me show...
Facebook chat is on and I can see my online facebook friends...
I thing this is a messenger thing, because in live.com messenger same thing happens.. Any ideas...?
I tested in Messenger 2011 and same problem... Could it have something to do with the new Facebook Chat... It worked well before the change...

What you've probably noticed is that on your chat settings, when you try to enable the FB chat, it goes to a non existent web page. Here's the work around:
Go to to your live account on live.com, go to profile, and you'll see the other accounts at the bottom (FB, youtube, etc) click on facebook, make sure chat is enabled, and hit save.
You'll have to type in your FB email and password. Now when you look at your phone, under the messaging settings, you'll noticed that FB chat is enabled.
You will probably have to manually resync at the very least for it to work. Other people have reported that it just takes time for your contacts to show up, and some other people have had success simply waiting because eventually they showed up for them.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I haven't heard of anyone else that has that problem either. That would bug me too.

I've found that this is just an issue between Facebook chat and however Microsoft implements it. I've been using the Facebook chat integration in Windows Live Messenger 2011 since it first came out, and it can be sketchy at times. There are some people whom I'll appear online to, but they can't send me a message if I'm only logged in through Messenger. If I'm viewing the Facebook page, they can message me.
I also find that sometimes messages can take a long time to go through, if at all sometimes. It seems like every message will go through if you message back fairly quickly, but those that have been sitting for a while take a while to go through.
I also sometimes find that people will appear offline for no reason through Messenger, but everything works fine on the Facebook page.
I would imagine all these same problems from Messenger would also be there for the most part in Mango. It's an annoyance, but it has certainly made Messenger a lot more useful, and definitely will be a useful addition to Mango.
I stand corrected, the Facebook Chat support in Mango on my HD2 is actually working flawlessly. There hasn't been any missed messages, and only a couple have come in slightly delayed (no more than 10 seconds).
I've also been using my computer that is signed in with Windows Live 2011, and messages that come in and say the other person is offline, that isn't happening in Mango.
It's only been a couple days, but I'm impressed so far.

Yahoo Messenger problems for 3.2

I have one web development company. I use Google android os version 3.2 my problem is Yahoo Messenger atm?
Worked beautifully last night, but now this morning I'm unable to see any of my contacts' statuses, whether they're online or not, and completely unable to receive any messages.
People GET my messages, as I proved with my non-mobile Yahoo account. Tried logging out and logging back in, rebooting my EVO, uninstalling and reinstalling off the Market...nothing.
Even tried logging in via my iPad's Messenger app, but it worked flawlessly on there. Just Android seems to be having the issue currently, at least for me.
Anyone else? Plz Help
Thanks

wp7 messenger chat shows no one is online

Hello,
After long time I have again started using messenger chat in my wp7, earlier it use to work perfectly but from the last 2 days when I logged into messenger chat it shows no one is online even my status is shown offline to other messenger users whereas when I login to desktop live messenger app it shows online users and everything works expected, this means there is some issue with my phone and not live messenger.
I had recently upgraded to outlook.com but switched but to hotmail thinking this might be causing issue but still it shows no one is online.
I also realized I am unable to update apps too, Ball Maze, Translator & Whatsapp I have updates for these apps but it is not getting updated.
Somebody please help

Ensure that
1) Your FB chat is set to ON in messaging settings.
2) Your WiFi/ Data connection is working fine. (Open any website IE to confirm it).
Yes, FB chat is broken for me too. Nothing wrong with your phone.
I dont use fb chat, I am talking about Windows Live Messenger chat it shows no user online even when my few friends are online likewise it shows I am Signed in(available) but to my friends I am shown offline, I face this issue only on my phone but not on PC messenger application. Also I am unable to update apps from last 2 days or so.
