Thanks for the info! Its just most of my family and friends use Tango instead of Skype
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium
Yeah, I use tango a lot too, I am pretty confident they will port the app given they have been solid in their support of windows phone
I am sure the call for apps will be met come launch.
People need to watch full launch events........
Microsoft will flip the switch on for "Cloud based Compile"
App designer builds App A for a Windows 8 PC and submits to MS Store.....it will compile in the cloud for RT and down the line for WP8.
The other way is the App designer can himself compile for all 3 (x86, RT ARM, Phone), then submit to the Store.
This is part of the build tools for Windows 8.
I am sure they will again state this at the Launch event tomorow the 25th in New York.

Does anyone know if there is any software out there
that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.
There is a great software package out there made by
http://www.soti.net/
but they do not have software available for Android.
This would be for use with the new evo
Any ideas?
Thansk
Picme in market.
You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app
I'm currently working on data access and full phone control. It's kinda hard to get everything working together.

Have you heard of this product?

I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.
Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?
Thanks
*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.
I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.

Why does android not have Facebook with chat. Android has been out for some time now but still nothing.
There latest update is by far the best and performance wise it actually works better than previous versions.
I don't know if its possible but has someone tried to insert chat. There is so much rom development so there must be people capable of modifying this app.

Is there no way to modify it. Everything is possible these days

go! chat on the market works well
There's a version of bloo that has chat enabled that's floating around. It doesn't have the fancy new photoscroller or inbox features, but it DOES have chat if that's what you want.
Was supposed to say Palringo. It's free in the market and works awesome.

The AIM app works really well too. Can check FB updates from within the app as well.
if you use ninjamorph you can alter the .xml files in .apk's. can't someone create a .xml file that adds chat support? Or can't someone take the facebook app piece for piece via astro and add chat support and add an icon in one of the blanks on the main homepage? that seems do-able.
Hi everyone!
I haven't seen anyone talking about "windows live messenger", nor videos and just screens about a "future messenger".
Well, there is or there is not an oficial Windows Live Messenger?
Thanks!

Bwahaha so true. Mind you, it's alot better after the updates. Notifications seem to work fine.
I still cant get it to run at all, so also looking for an integrated "official" version.
i.e. at a minimum it should have the same integration Facebook does. I dont get how they can be missing that considering how "social" messenger is now.
Anyway. Fingers crossed we get something soonish.
(How can i skive of work if i cant pretend i am working from my phone?)
The lack of a first party Wlm client was one of the reasons i didn't get a wp7 device.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This is not the Official Messenger app, it's just the only one at the moment. I know what miyowa said but they didn't say they were in charge of the official WLM but that Microsoft asked them to create a WLM app (certainly as an alternative until the official one is ready).
Trust me it wouldn't be called "messenger by miyowa", it would be published by Microsoft and it wouldn't be that ****. Also there would be a mention of it and a download link for WP7 on their official WL for Mobile page (you can select a device at the top): http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/windowsphone/default.aspx
The Zune HD version is functional but ugly so my guess is they went from porting it to working on a Live Messenger for WP7 similar to the iPhone one with social networks integrated.
As awesome as the Metro UI is, what's offered now just doesn't work with WLM (seriously check that Zune HD app, it's very ugly), they need to keep it close to the desktop version as people are used to it. I'm sure the official app will be there before the Mango update.

Bull. Even the high ranking MS execs I've spoken to refer me to the Miyowa client as official. I have no doubt there will be an actual usable client in the future, but for now it is the official one.
Microsoft would be stupid enough to let them use "Messenger by Miyowa"?
Wouldn't that be just "Windows Live Messenger"?
Even iOS has an official client. And it's not "by miyowa".
Yeah we need a proper one that can at least run backgrounded. I dont find it to be that bad since I usually leave my on at home and rarely need to log into it remotely

I was shocked that there wasn't a windows live messanger app for WP7 when I tried the HD7, I thought that was ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous that they still don't have one out.

it does push notifications so you will know when you have a message. Never have been an IM kinda user so it doesn't bother me, but the one that's there does the basic features.
Microsoft teams have more faith in ios than wp7 it seems. Now there is even denote for ios. The reasons to get wp7 over an ios device if on att or Verizon... Well there hardly are any...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
There's a new WLM app called Li'Messenger. It doesn't have notifications but maybe worth a try since the miyowa one is a bit rubbish.
I think its getting pulled out of the marketplace. So i suggest to go get it now before it's gone.

i read its going to be removed... i just installed it, works and looks a lot better than miyowa's version.
now it just needs multitasking to run in the background
why would it be pulled? given the amount of twitter clients about... i don't see what reason MS would have to remove it...

That was my initial reaction to the rumor also - but seeing as the app is free, what would he gain from this? Checking the app it also seems to be as well behaved as the developers claims it is, i.e. it sends data directly to Live. No intermediary servers involved so it's not like he's stealing account data either.
My guess is that MS doesn't like the fact it's using certain logos and/or Live API's, but rather than removing it they should in that case take it over as their official client as it's already much better than the other one.
Li'Messenger seems to be removed. wish I coulda tried this. looks really good. I hope for a better one than the current selection very soon.
It's about time! The iPhone has had this for ages. It's free, works on 3G, you don't even need to sign up to anything, automatically checks phonebook to see who has Viber installed, and you can call and send text messages over the interweb instead of using your cell providers minutes/text allowance. You can even tell your android to set it as your default dialer! It'll also work cross-platform so any people you know with iPhones, tell them about this (but I suspect they already know all about it).
It's in Beta so is not on the marketplace yet, but it's got millions of iPhone users so it's trust-worthy. Get it from here...

Follow the instructions (you need to tell your phone to accept installs from outside the market first) and check it out!
What do you think?

Hello everybody.
So I finally ordered a HTC Trophy, so I'll be leaving the 'droid forums to join these more agreable, more magical lands. I wanted to ask, what are the first things I should do/download/check ?
Thanks in advance,
Kim.
Sent via my magical HTC Wildfire S.
First things on my list:
Setup the security PIN and whatnot
Download the Zune desktop software, connect up, make sure everything is up to date and setup wireless sync
Setup all your accounts (Exchange, Windows Live, Facebook for now, soon there'll be LinkedIn and Twitter too)
The advantage of the Zune desktop software is that it means you can browse the marketplace on your computer, which is always easier than on a phone. You can easily find the Windows Phone versions/equivalents of the software you used on Android, and you can install it via Zune- if your phone is connected by a cable, it'll install automatically and if not it'll install the next time your phone checks for app updates.
The only thing that annoys me at the moment is a lack of a quick WiFi switch, so I've pinned settings to start as a bit of a workaround. Also, when you're on WiFi and know you will be for a while, switch off the 3G data connection as Windows Phone has a habit of reverting to it if you put the phone onto standby.
Is having the zune desktop software an obligation, I don't have regular access to a computer ?

Well yes. In order to use your phone with computer, you will need Zune.
By using Zune, you can transfer music, pictures or videos to/and from your phone,
and also you can browse for apps.
USB mode for data transfer officially doesn't exist. You can not transfer Word, Powerpoint, Excell or any other "Office document" using Zune. For that, you will need to send them to your email, and then download them using your phone.
P.S. You need to have Zune if you want to update software on the device.
Ah, updating. Okay, but otherwise I can browse the market via the phone, like any other ?

Once you upgrade to Mango, try some apps using live tiles (The WP equivalent to Android widgets). Two of my favorites are WeatherLive and Smart Tile.

Yes. Zune desktop is for syncing pictures/videos/music from your computer to your phone. But its also used for official updating of the phone.
Other than that you have no 'need' for it.
