Looking for an App (associated to yahoo im)

Hi all is there an app which allows the user to video chat using yahoo messenger, making the 3g camera a type of webcam?

Not yet...
They've not cracked the video calling yet but I recommend Parlingo for Yahoo chat.
Also supports everyone else (except Skype, only nimbuz includes them)
Sorry buddy,

I have always liked IM+ it seems to handle all my needs with chatting, and again no video is with it, like most others out there...
But it handles all these AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk, MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, I think they just added Skype as well.
The best thing about this company is that they have always honored their free upgrades, and Ive switched phones 4 times and they were very supportive with giving me new reg codes.
Only flaw is that it is not free, like the above mentioned Parlingo.

can you teach me step by step process to install onto mobile phone? i,ve extracted it, and some files is come out, then do what?where should i paste it? please help,thanks

IM+ has big problems with YM... I use OZIM found on the TMOUS apps sticky and its excellent...

Use fring. it offers chat, audio and video calls on all IMs.

Android 2.2 Cloud to Device Messaging

Hi, i am no dev, sorry if this is the wrong section, but i realized that inside of Android 2.2 sdk or something there is the new C2DM Service. Even Google says that it could work very well for instant messages like this:
C2DM makes no guarantees about delivery or the order of messages. So, for example, while you might use this feature to tell an instant messaging application that the user has new messages, you probably would not use it to pass the actual messages.
http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/android/c2dm/index.html
i searched for an app, which uses C2DM for instant messaging for serveral IM networks like icq, msn etc, but didnt found anything... all the messengers like ebuddy, meebo etc don't use this new push notification which should save a lot of battery, if the device gets pushed about new messages and only than the devices download the message from the server
what do you think about it?
PS: sorry for my crap english

Hopefully this new service will solve all the issues we have with the current crop of instant messengers and their frequent disconnection. This is one feature I miss from my old iPhone

i guess most developers of messaging apps are already working hard to incorporate c2dm into their clients. since froyo is still verry young and there is only one device yet that is officially running it, the use for this would have been verry smale yet. but im sure in a few weeks we will have lots of messaging apps using this feature.

Thread moved to General.

-
new Google Talk in FroYo already uses C2DM, other messengers are likely to follow in several months as more phones get FroYo

How is life going? Froyo is about 6 months old, 36 % running Froyo, and the only C2DM-using apps I know are Whatsapp, Jumpnote and Chrome To Phone. I know Google is holding several C2DM presentations.
I'm still missing a IM-app, soccer scores app and so on. Are there any developers working on this? Or is it hard to obtain acces for Google C2DM?

Triilian im and beejive im are using c2dm

hi to all,
when you want to use googles cloud to device messaging ,you must still connected wifi or wakes wifi up when you recieve an message like Googlemail or Trillian Messenger?
thx
p.s.:sry for my bad english

[POLL]Blackberry Messenger Style Messaging App

Hello XDAders, Sup!
First, Sorry for my english its not perfect *BEWARE*
Second, the theme of this post its about an App that allows Messaging Between Phones of Different OS(Android, WM, Symbian[OPTIONAL], BlackberryOS, iOS[OPTIONAL], OtherSmartPhoneOS's[OPTIONAL]) with the appearance and functions of the Rim Messaging Platform, Blackberry Messenger.
The options that i found where:
Whatsapp
Pingchat
Cnectd
pMessenger
Which of those will accomplish the task better???
The things that i think the messaging app must have:
*Push Notifications
*Always Be On, meaning even if you close the app u will receive messages from your contacts(like Blackberry Messenger)
*Be able to send text, Voice Notes(not more than 2 minutes), Photos and Any type of files[OPTIONAL]
*An Check mark That indicates if message its sent, delivered and readed(like Blackberry Messenger)[OPTIONAL]
NOTE: If you know any other apps that accomplish those requirements, say it! Will be thank'ed

pingchat is the closest to a blackberry messenger clone. None of them are very good at group chat, but they're all "working on it"

I have tried pingchat and whatsapp and I am voting for pingchat!
I even heard somewhere that whatsapp will be free for a year only, then paid.

i have been using kakaotalk, its similar to whatsapp but this is in korean. English version is coming out some time this week though.
Like the simple and nice ui. Never had problems with it so far.

Kik Messenger could work
It's a new app so not perfect yet, but I think this could be the one you're looking for.
Since I'm not allowed to post outside links on the forum you can search for "kik messenger" to get a description

Cross Platform Voice Comms

I have a friend on Blackberry, what is the best mobile data based voice comms app that they can use to call me?
I guess Skype is the best know, does Google Talk do voice on Blackberry?
Thanks.

VIBER (best free VoIP calls)
Whatsapp (best and most reliable messenger)
Buddy (for msn chat facebook chat etc, it's a dying trend)
Facebook messenger
Live profile, dying trend but gives the read and delivered status like bbm
Ummm if you search market place for these I'm sure you'll find related apps but these are the most common off the top of my head

When I go to Biker in the Android market, it says its only available for Android and iPhone?

[q] kik vs bbm

Hello all,
I have been using two messaging services both available on iPhone, Android, and Windows smart phones. I have been stuck at a crossroads for which is the superior messaging program so that I might be able to limit myself to just one instead of going back and forth. I would like your opinions as to which messenger (kik or bbm) you like better and why.
**Please note, I would prefer you have experience with both apps so that there is no biased opinion.
**This is only between KIK and BBM, so please leave all other messaging programs out of it (e.g. whatsapp, viber, kakao). I only want your opinions about KIK and BBM.
That being said, state which one you like better and why
