Sorry if wrong area, can someone point me to where I can get the AIM program for my tilt? I did a clean install and didn't want the bloatware, and of course that meant the AIM wasn't installed. I would like that one part back on the tilt.
IM+ is supposedly the best utility. However you have to pay for a license so I don't really know I don't think it's worth it.
I hate IM+. Slick is way better, plus it's free.

I bought it. Sucks if you use AIM. Takes FOREVER to connect sometimes. Says it fails the connection.

Well that sucks....get your $$ back!!
Anyone know what it could be? Have you tried Slick?
Tried Slick some time ago. Felt the same way like starstreak about the AIM release for WM6.
it's built in a cheap way and u can't even enter messages with the jog wheel.
I tried IM+ as well but since that cost money I downloaded slick after the trial ended.
slick is quite ok..easy to handle and it has everything a good chat program should have.
The only thing that I didn't like that much was the design...but who cares if it works better than the original AIM
ATT Tilt IM CAB
I think this is what ya want...
The problem with OZ is that it uses SMS instead of data. So it's only good if you have an unlimited SMS plan.
Thanks, I'll try it once I get home.
Yes, that is true, but if it allows me to connect on the first try, then that is fine. I'm already paying $4.99 for 700text and I don't get that many sms messages so this should be fine as a backup.
UPDATE: Oh slap me! I switch to tmobile. lol. The AIM program works only on the ATT network. Does anybody have something that will work on the TILT with the T-Mobile network?

AIM sign-on, sign-off and refresh buddy list use SMS messages too. Use it as your own risk.
I am using the older version of Agile and I like it (the latest version is not a freeware anymore).
yuck i'd only do a data-only AIM and just find a wi-fi hotspot.
missing the point. the IM+ seems to fail alot for the AIM. I need something that I can connect quickly and disconnect when done.
I use Agile. No issues whatsoever.
You can also get palringo which is a freeware. Works well. This is what I used before getting Agile.

why pay
as someone posted before.. THIS LINK!
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick
thats best IM app I tried so far.. tried every single one yo all mentioned THEY ALL SUCKED
this slick is sick sick sick ! just crashes sometimes not sure why.. just quits with no error
but its quick and got way more settings then other free ones.. could use bit more but I'm not complaining
if anyone figures out crashing part.. hit me up..
thanks
I <3 Agile Messenger been using since beta, it lets you use the pointless ptt button (pointless for me anyway) and send voice links thru whatever messenger your using. It also doesn't disconnect you when your in a phone call which most others seem to do.
http://agilemessenger.com
thanks for all the other suggestions. Since I paid for the IM+ I really didn't want to give money to another unless I HAD to. Yes, I did try the IM+ before buying, and it did work when I used it. Just there are times when it won't AIM connect for like 5mins for no reason. At least with the sms AIM, I know I can send out in case the IM+ don't work.
so as i have posted b4 with my problem
the data just stoped working
i fianlly figured out what the problem was/is again
the new v of im+ 4.53
after install and disconnect of it
i no longer have any data function
im uninstalled no change
emailed them about it..
im thinking some sort of reg problem?
any one of your wing brains know how to fix this?
I never unistalled IM+. I just reflashed with a new ROM and installed it. I suggest you do the same. If you're running the stock T-Mobile ROM, you'll be MUCH happier anyways.
It may be, bc the moment IM+ stops using the data connection, it tells the phone to disconnect it. Try going to the comm manager before and after you run IM+ and see if the data connection is open before and then check it after. The program might just be closing the data connection and you just need to reactivate it.
Also, if you're convinced the problem lies with IM+, go to their site, and see if there's something in their forum or report it.

Personally, I use PALRINGO for instant messaging.
ok, well on a fresh restart of the phone [power cycle] data connection is greyed out. soit seems data is disabled now
further more, if i try to connect right now, and it trys and fails, i dont get calls.. so i have to restart..
last time this happened i flashed up to open touch and still had the same problem
so how do i get the data connection active again, with out making my wing fly into a wall
in commanager "data" is allways greyed out!!!
it is only available for DISCONNECTING.
i don´t know why but it was like this all the time. also with wizard. no way to establish a connection manually. only by using IE or any other gprs-needing program.
yea i noticed the its greyed out after, this is annoying
i emailed shape services - waiting for there mail back now
any one have a install cab for the older version of im+
the one b4 they added myspace being 4.53 [current]
i want to try to set back one version and see if it works
but i dont think it will bc PIE will not connect - with having that totally removed from the phone
as i said this is the 4th time this has happened now and really dont want to go to my 5th repalcement wing..
installing the htc home 5 and black theme has gotten annoying so many times lol
BUMP so people can help me i really dont want to go for a 4th replacement
Damn, you've had to replace your phone four times?

for this same thing every time
data stops working
they send a replacement
atleast some good has come from this. the first time i had to ship the phone i went ot the local ups store, the 2nd time it happened i went and they know me already - had a help wanted sign, filled the app out and got the job
so thanks to defective phones i got a new job... which will be nice when it comes to having to ship the this one back when i get my next replacement..
^Wow. An act of God maybe then cuz these phones are of high manufacturing quality.
Ive had to replace my Wing 4 times since I bought my first one in June.
MMS wouldn't send at all
TouchScreen stopped working
Earpiece stopped working
and I can't remember why it was replaced the other time.
yea on my 4th. im gonan try opentouch and pray. if not the wings going for a flight...
no one has any clues to how to fix this with out a replacement again!?!?
i really dont want to spend another 3 hours on with pda tech for them to say the normal oh its the network sorry, blah blah , ok repalcement
Are you running stock rom? or have you upgraded?
last time this happen i was on stock - went to open touch 2.4 didnt change anything.. so i ruu'ed back to stock b4 i sent it back
it happens on stock..
and stays with any upgrade i do
I dunno man. hard to say without being there personally. The Stock Rom sucks, and on top of that Tmo blocks ports and **** ...
When you installed Touch IT, did you run the network wizard to set up the correct settings?
yea did the whole 9 yards and nothing... phone just ahtes me
i would just go for a sidekick but i went n spoiled myself with the touch screen [this is my first] and i dont think i can go back to something so simple
just need a wing that will work and stay working
I'd say go with the exchange I guess.

arg i dont wnan spend another 5 hours on the phone with those drones at the cs centers
I know man, I've been there.
anyone use this at all, from the time that i upgraded my rom, even when i first got my phone w/ the oem tilt rom, it has not worked. I changed the settings on my phone because initially the internet wasn't working, but not it works fine, i'm using palingro...but i at least want to try the oz because there are some things that bother me about it.
and by the way, i'm connecting using the att network, not wifi...as that is the first thing it says when its having trouble connecting. but honestly, no matter what i change in my phone, i'm still getting the "communication error. please try again or check your settings. IM is not supported over wi-fi connections" error.
any help/ideas?
gotten quite a few views, any input guys?
heya sim,
I use the OZ cab, both stock installed on the phone and installed with custom rom. I have experienced the situation you detail. It seems to happen when I close it down a way it didn't like or do something internet-wise with another program.
Fixing it usually only requires a quick turn off then turn on. It does get annoying sometimes when it happens.
Also I would like to add it doesn't seem very responsive as far as receiving messages goes either. Like sometimes I will get a message on my computer at roughly 12 in the afternoon and will not see it on the phone until after dinner. I have even had a couple experiences where I didn't receive messages until after the program had been restarted.
I will be trying another messaging program soon that doesn't use up messaging on my phone, this is part of what I believe makes it slow is the fact it uses messaging instead of internet.
any recommendations? / questions?
oh great...you mean to tell me that the oz messenger is sms based and not internet based? jeeze...i REALLY dont wanna pay for agile
yes this is what they told me at AT&T, There are a few out there that use internet via data connection (3g, hsdpa, etc.) agile being one of them...isnt it free tho? The same goes for Fring, and i believe IM+ you have to pay for but uses data connection aswell.
Yea, i use the OZ one, but only as a way of checking my current buddy lists in AIM and Yahoo. Its very unreliable for actually carrying a conversation. Also, its very clunky to use if you log into 2 or 3 messengers at once. One of the features about this phone that really made me want it (instant messaging on the go) has been pretty lackluster to me. I have yet to try any different messenger suites yet.
Ill let you both know for sure how the others work in comparison as I intend to try a couple other non sms bases ones
OZ messenger is LAME.. go to Palringo.com from your phone. Download it. Way better and its free push to talk built in.
you guys wont be disappointed with Palringo. You can have your AOL, Google Talk/Jabber, MSM messenger, yahoo. It signs in really quick about 2 seconds, gets all your friends, no drops in connection, Beautiful software and best of all its free.

mine ALWAYS drops my aim connection. i have no idea why. It keeps my google chat online constantly though, but not aim. anybody know of a sms based messenger for aim by any chance?
ok, i guess the problem w/ my messenger was the data package that i had with AT&T, now that i upgraded, i can sign on. only problem is, when i'm online...i'm not really online. it shows that all my buddys are off, when i check on another computer (different SN) if i'm on, its says i'm not. anyone know what the hell this is about? it seems like one problem after another w/ this....
plus i'm using the "OZ_Instant_Messanger_at_t_AKU_0.4.4" cab. thanx in advance
Agile
I have dumped Oz because it is slow to connect at times. At times it connects but it does not tell you so, that is you show up on a buddies computer but your phone still shows that it has not connected. Also, in this case if you quit the program, (stop it from memory) you are still logged on. Added to this is that you get charged for text messages!!
So, I have gone to Agile, which is data only. It connects fine too. It is pricey but it does the job. I am using it on a Treo 750. My service is At&T. It also does PTT etc.
AIM
The AIM client also uses data only and not SMS. So if you do not need the other message servers like Yahoo or MSN or Google etc. then AIM might be a good option. You can find it on this forum.
I had been using the OZ client on a trip earlier this month for the first time - did not care for the SMS integration of it at all. Every time a reply would come in you'd get a system SMS message. I've just installed the Palringo client listed above and it seems to work very well. Thanks for the heads up.
I use slick it's easy and free
yea wish i had read this thread prior to sending those 100 sms messeages at .15 cents each. Wait employee discount! oh **** not for sms. hahaha
gdit at&t!!
gonna check out one of these two you guys mentioned, that oz one does suck
and i have unimited data only.
I really wish I read this before paying for IM+. I like their service but have had a lot of problems lately when I flash roms constantly. Crap like always having to put in my resistration and then saying that my registration number is being used. I would understand if I stole the software but I paid good money for it.
I tried aglie and really like the GUI, but I'm not in the mood to spend that much money for another program.
I just downloaded palringo and from first impression really like it. The only thing I don't like is that it won't keep my always connected. Battery isn't an issue and neither is data.
I hear that. Im waiting and watching for something better.
BTW super rocks!
How about Fring?

I've had great luck with fring... Use it and if you twitter it has a built in twitter interface that's outside of the normal IM integration, it's pretty slick.

same here.. been using it since i first bought my tilt and no complaints to day
1. I bought from att and flashed it with the htc rom and now when I press the "@" it turns into "!" and some other buttons too but I can't remember which. how do i fix this?
2. Do I need a data connection in order to use the email or can I just use wifi?
I tried using wifi but it doesn't work. It says "the message could not be sent. check that you have network coverage."
3. what is the best gps to use with the tilt? I couldn't get tomtom to work because it couldn't detect my internal gps.
4. any awesome programs I should know about?
I don't know much about it but I would read a thread like this if your keyboard is messed up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
thats perfect thanks man! but how do i install?
For TomTom, try this thread.
For email, are you using your own WiFi, or a hotspot somewhere? I find that when I am at home and using WiFi, I need to set my SMTP server to my ISP's, but if I am away from home and using GPRS I have to set the SMTP server to that of my mobile provider. I would guess it's the same for using different Wifi networks, since most won't allow you to send email via SMTP server A whilst connected to a network using SMTP server B. This is called relaying, and is to prevent spam mail being sent. Course I could be totally wrong, and your problem is something else!
Can you surf the net via WiFi? If so, try setting the device up for hotmail (just get a hotmail account if you haven't got one) and try sending mail from Hotmail. If you can do this, its more likely either a SMTP server problem, or go through the email settings menu, click on advanced server settings and see what the network connection is. It should be "The Internet".
For a must have program....since you seem to be using the phone for internet connections, get Opera Mobile. It's free and a substantially better browser that the stock Pocket IE. Other than that, browse the forums, you will find so much! Have a look for my post in this thread. Lots of idea's for programs!
im using my own wifi at home. I am not paying for data connection and i have it blocked. how do I set up SMTP?

1.) Get the keyboard fix, its in the CAB list, its under "Tilt keyboard fix".
2.) Try seeing what it is connecting to and if your wifi modem is letting it connect to it
3.) Probably Tom Tom the one made for the tilt. Its on here somewhere.
4.) CAB List has some . PM me and I will tell you some more in detail.

Why do people try to drive people away from the tilt? Most of the regular users wont see the problem, they will just see that its a bit slow when doing things and overall its a great phone. If you see that its a slow phone then you are over using it.
If you get the iPhone howardforums - the apple forum is the best to hack it!

Errors out on my Fuze.
yeah i want to know if it works on the fuze and if it works over wifi because i dont have a data plan. Thanks
thanks, just in time for playoffs!
works on my Fuze on 3G fine
Hmm, what am I doing wrong for me to have it error out on me like that? Installs fine but unable to launch it. Using ROMeOS's latest.
It may just be software issues on my end.
EDIT: Works now, I actually stopped and read the error (duh), It didn't see my data connection so I turned on Wifi. I may have to tinker in the connection settings to see my data connection.
BTW thnx OP for the cab.
how is the speed on TP? I recently upgraded from an apache and the NFL app was slow as sh*t
i cant install it because of an error in the setup file?? any suggestions?

Pretty slow for me on the fuze.
I got the error too initially. Do a soft reset. It worked for me.
I got it to install just fine and i can read all the links and stories but i can not see any video. with that being said..... NOW i am using this on an EPIX (dont see and good threads anywhere sorry) most all .cab's work like the should (ppc wm6.1 and so on)but the software tells me that i dont have a device that can stream video??? any ideas? could this be because sprint has nothing like this device and the FUZE is on their network???? any feed back would be nice.
Sorry guys, I don't really have any answers...Bit I am using Hibby's 1.7 ROM from ppgeeks. I don't plan on using this all that much, but as far as I can see, the app works 100% on my phone. Yes, a little slow, but it works.
I have the ATT Fuze.....works Great Thank You!
works amazing! thanks! anyway to get the video to play fullscreen though?
Installed with no issues and runs with no issues. But like some others, it does seem to run pretty slow.
It works on my Tilt, but I can't watch any video. I'll be getting my Fuze this weekend and will try it on there
