Best MSN messenger app...

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

Setting up a new phone for my cousin and she's 20 years old. Anybody know why this message is coming up? I checked her hotmail and her birthday is set as Aug 1991.
Thanks in advance

Has she or you synced any other live services? i.e. Zune or Xbox?

Not syncd to Xbox maybe Zune. I will check that. If she's synced to Zune what would be the cause?

This is a speculation, but somewhere on Microsoft Answers it says re-adding the account helps. Also if you haven't gone through massive changes in the phone, it will be worth to try a hard reset. The during start up skip logging into the live services, let the phone reboot and after a reboot try accessing market, it will ask to log in - at that point enter the live ID etc. This way you would re-add the account for zune, xbox and other live services too.
Also, if her twitter/LinkedIn are linked with windows live ID, and if they have slightly different D.O.B. - it might be a cause. I've had similar issue with XBOX sync but wasn't much of a problem as most games were 16+ and it thought I was 19.

No massive changes. All I've added was her hotmail account. I tried resetting the phone already but will try it again and then reboot > market > login. Not sure what else to do after that besides make her a new account which she doesn't want.
I'll give this a shot and see how it goes.

Thanks drupad2drupad. Got it figured out last night. Signed into her account on zune and it prompted me for her 'parental' email since hers was created when she was 15 or so with her dads help.
Once I did that it set her account straight.

That is what I was going to suggest. There is a similar issue on xbox with problems caused by child accounts. I believe that there is a way to promote the child account to an adult one but I don't remember what it was exactly. I'd recommend doing this though to avoid future problems.
Edit: Here are the steps for xbox live

According to this it should nag you to promote it

picture signature windows phone?

Can a picture be added to my Outlook signature in Windows Phone like on Outlook for PC? If the answer is now then Windows Phone sucks balls.

??
I hope you kept your windows mobile device because from your post windowsphone isn't right for you yet.

Most pictures are blocked by spam filters or security defaults on the clients such as outlook. Wy would you want this?

Nope, unfortunately it broke and now it's hard to get a hold of one; believe me if I could I would. Hopefully MS will shut me up with Windows Phone ; really hope so.

Why would I want to do this? Same reason people on here have avatars and picture signatures I guess, you know what I mean.

Lol I have a tp2 if you need it
Just let me know..

Any LinkedIn and Google+ apps out there??

Two of my missing social apps on WP is LinkedIn and Google+. As a scientist, I use these apps to reach out and learn more from my fellow professionals but too bad they are not on my OS. The ones out there at the marketplace are just bad and are just the webpages in an app's cloth. Really wish they come out with nice ones soon. Any developer there to help?

[Q] Infuse with CM 10 unable to sync FB Contacts

Hello, I recently updated my infuse to CM 10 and have been mostly enjoying it.
I have one huge problem however, which is that I can't sync my facebook contacts
I don't fully know why. I can get my gmail and g+ contacts, but not my facebook, and seemingly, more than half of my original contacts came from facebook (I'll be sure to fix that).
I need a fix to this, if anyone knows what to do to get it working. I'm not sure why it wont, I've tried redownloading the fb app, deleting its cache, and even removing all phone contact accounts and re adding the, but to no avail.
Can someone please help?

That has not worked since ICS. It was disabled by google I believe..
You can try Liquid Smooth which has a hack to allow fb sync.

There is also Contact Sync for Facebook in GooglePlay that can be used.

Try friend caster. It has some cool features that the Facebook app doesn't have
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

if you ask me that contact sync feature is a huge privacy violation. having the facebook app give facebook your phone number, and anybody who also has your phone number can see you in the freind finder on their facebook app. when started seeing people i used to work with and other people who i had no buisness seeing their facebook account in the "people you may know" or whatever i deleted the app and let a few of those people know who probably would want to stay anonymous so that they could do the same.
at this point i'm not sure why i still have a facebook. but i probably wont for long. google+ is no better. i'll stick to the traditional google services in the future, ya know the ones that only allow me to see what's going on in my life.

This one doesnt sync phone numbers which I find pointless. It will however bring over all your friends as contacts to your phone with their pictures attached... still pointless if you cant call/txt them.

Friendcaster has a built in fb to contact sync and from what I can see that doesnt import numbers either.
