Multi Platform Messengers - General Questions and Answers

Curious to know if anyone uses multi platform messengers. These would be ones that are all in ones that contain say facebook, aim, yahoo, etc. Ones I have tried are Trillian, im+, beejive, ebuddy, nimbizz. I am currently using im+ pro amd having terrible issues wirh connectivity. Used to be great until recent. Trillian is decent but just very out dated interface. Nimbizz I couldnt get yahoo to connect. I stuck with im+ mostly because of push notifications and how great it saved on my battery. Any input?

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.

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
MSN TALK

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

IM+ Pro. Sure's the best.

Yes im+ pro. But you have to pay for it. If you have yahoo account then use yahoo messanger. If youbhave google account then use gtalk.

Used to use eBuddy, now I'm using Trillian.
Try "imo.im". You can sign in using multiple accounts, e.g. skype, yahoo, google talk, jabber, facebook, ICQ, etc.

My vote goes for Trillian.
I vote ebuddy.

Trillian. Got it free from Amazon's free app of the day. Great on battery life too.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk
I've used Trillian, eBuddy, Nimbuzz, and imo.im (all free). Among them, I would say that imo.im is the best.
Each to his own, though.
Trillian routes your messages through its servers, which always bothered me.
What does IM+ Pro offer over imo.im or Meebo?
Didn't there used to be an official MSN app? Seems to have disappeared from the market though.
Is there such a thing as an IM app which allows voice clips, as well as signing in from multiple locations with MSN/Live messenger?
Slick is the best then im+

Corporate (Exchange) email client alternatives

I think I've had enough with the stock e-mail app for getting my work e-mails. It dims the entire phone every time I open it, it flickers when I scrolls, etc. This is on multiple ROMs with multiple versions of Jelly Bean. I'm convinced the app just plain sucks.
Anyone use any revolutionary third-party apps that they want to share? I checked out TouchDown and Moxier... but $20? No thanks. K-9 seems just OK.
thanks!

We're on Exchange via Office 365 cloud
Touchdown is great, but expensive. Keep an eye out for sales, I got it for $2 about 2 years ago
You can try the AOSP client, I believe beans has it in his roms. You can also use enhanced email but I stopped using it since I got my S3, the app was acting weird...

I'm trying out Aqua Mail right now. It is only SMTP at this point. No direct Exchange connectivity (ActiveSync)... YET. I e-mailed the dev and he is considering getting a license from M$ to add it to his app.
Other than that I love it. It's free but appends a watermark of sorts at the end of email drafts. $5 to unlock pro version.

Well... found my solution. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33402676&postcount=5
It's an inverted AOSP email flashable zip. It's just plain sexy. It doesn't have any of the issues the default JB e-mail app has.
If you're interested....
-Nandroid
-Delete the SecEmail and SecExchange apk's from /System/App with a root file manager
-Flash the zip in link above
-Go into app manager and force stop/delete data on email AND exchange. I had to do this to get it to work. Not optional.
-Profit.

Um, I can't uninstall this app. The uninstall button is greyed out...
Did I miss something in installing this?

I also vote for this one, not only that but if there is a problem he is a regular on google+ and responds regularly.

Another vote for Enhanced Email. It handles multiple accounts, including Gmail, well enough that I had it as my main email app for a while.

The problem with using an alternate email client is you lose the new notification features of jelly bean. I was a long time user of Enhanced Email, but given the issues using it in jelly bean, and losing out on some improved notification functions I opted to use the stock app. I do miss the custom led notifications though

I've used them all. Enhanced Email, Touchdown, Mail droid, K-9, Kaiten, etc... All are good but all do not have it "all" for functionality. I did like enhanced email on my phone but hated it on tablet due to not having the preview pane option. Touchdown is super powerful but only allows exchange email. Mail droid has great features but does not yet support calendars. K-9 was great until my company changed to exchange server 2010 which K-9 does not support.
I feel like I am on a lifelong search for a do it all email client.

I forked over $20 and bought Touchdown. Great layout. Love it. Done.
I just wish touchdown did more than 1 account.

Replacement email app

Hey everyone. Just curious as to what email apps everyone is using? I have both my personal and work (exchange) email on my note. The default email app seems to be the only app I use that is incredibly sluggish. I was hopeful that different roms or kernels would help but it hasnt.
I used to use kaiten and touchdown, but stopped when I restored my device and tried to use the default app. I was hoping I could do so and use the combined view for all my accounts. Any suggestions?
On my Galaxy S3 I use Enhanced Email.
Works pretty good I thing.

Another vote for Aqua Mail, I have eleven email accounts from various providers and it's very responsive. If you use IMAP for incoming mail expect it to be slower than POP3 whatever the client program you use.
