Does anyone know of a good HCwindows /msn messenger app?
Ebuddy works, and but I I find the font too small.

Learn to read. He said eBuddy works in his OP, and that he finds the font too small.

Y'know... Replies like this REALLY annoy me sometimes. Who the hell cares WHY he's using MSN Messenger? He's using it, that's enough. If you can't answer his question sensibly then don't bother replying at all, especially if you're going to be asinine.
@Op. Fring has an MSN Messenger plugin. Not actually tried it myself, but maybe worth a try? Alternatively, Yahoo Messenger works cross network with MSN, has done for a while, though last time I used that it SERIOUSLY upped my data usage...
Thanksfor the sensible replies.
Ill try fring, as i believe it can be used for skype also, however trillian is better, though more configuration over font sizes would be preferred.
I think trillian is great

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

i also have a yahoo account and i've tried all major im client software on my leo.
beejive is my favorite but it is in permanent beta and has no client support for wm. sometimes it works fine but sometimes it doesn't work for days.
in my opinion the best overall is palringo. the most annoying thing is that sound notification doesn't work in standby so you won't know when you have an incoming message.
to install:
1. go to www.palringo.com and create an account
2. download the installation file for wm (.cab)
3. install the cab from your device
4. run palringo
Beejive i had to test. I used another some times!
Is palringo for free?
Thx for the tipp!!!

Just wanted to add to your post. This app also uses sms and not data to send the IM's. You are correct, it is not fancy. But it can stay running in the background of your phone and hardly affects the battery life. Palringo which I use also just kills it quickly. And since OXIM uses sms it is great for those with limited data plans. It just uses cellular data to login and load the buddy list. A must have for a backup IM service.
slick messenger works pretty good too...and its free...

ahh my data connects and I am pretty sure the sms doesnt get used, but I have an unlimited plan for both so no bother there... I also noticed that the battery seems very good using it compared to im or others...
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...

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

I synchronize my calendar through Activesync. I have been trying to modify some appointments (Change the time or just move them from one day to another). It seems the only option I have is to delete the appointment
Needless to say that it is not acceptable for a professional phone / tablet...
Am I doing it wrong, or if not is there a real Calendar app available somewhere ? (I guess Touchdown one works but I don't really like the look of Touchdown and was wodnering if there is anything else)
Have you looked at Pocket Informant?
It's in beta right now and available in the market...
Agree, i cant find a calender that suits me either...
Jorte (market app) is pretty nice. I like the widgets, too. It can definitely edit events, but then I though that should work with every calendar. Never used activesync, though.
PS: only minor downside is the sometimes rough English (clearly not native speaker), but it did get a lot better with updates.

Good idea thanks. I was using it on WM before Microsoft improved theirs
Honestly with Android I feel the same as I did when i started with WM and before MSFT improved it: too many extra apps to install to ahve a decent system...
I'm using PI. I like better than stock.
It has tasks integrated plus I had to get away from the wood theme

I don't believe that PI has any direct interaction w/ Exchange but rather it mirrors the native android calendar for the sync'd data and offers a better UI to manage the data.
I guess Touchdown solves both the calendar and the contact apps...
However it's ugly too...

I have used Pocket Informant from Webis for years on my pocket pc, then switched to there App for the Itouch and now I am running it on my Tab. It works great and is currently in beta for free it is worth a look.

Have you tried Business Calendar. It's still in beta, but very pretty. Has a nice widget that shows you your next 3 appointments, and then month/week/day view for all your calendars combined.

Trillian works well also.
ebuddy.
pure messenger widget
My own personal experience is that Trillian uses the least battery. eBuddy and Nimbuzz are ridiculous on battery.
