Fist off, let me apologize for yet another IM thread. But I have looked and done research and am stuck. You all are the peeps with the answers, so I am asking this here. Again, sorry for another IM post....
I am looking for a Mobile IM client that works over the GPRS data network, not SMS, that has a way to inform users that I am on my mobile device. From what I have seen, the only IM clients that will do this are the SMS based mobile clients. Which does me no good as I need Gtalk (Jabber) as well as AIM etc...
So my next thought was to use a different buddy icon for the IM client on my phone as opposed to when I use Gaim/Pidgin. Only I cannot seem to find one that support buddy icons on the mobile device.
Am I simply SOL and need to deal with the fact that ppl will not be able to tell I am mobile unless I go with the SMS client?
Lastly, I use 2 AIM accounts, one personal and one for business. It seems as though no Mobile IM client will let you use more than one AIM profile at a time. Does anyone know if this is actually the case. I have tried Mundu and IM+.
Thanks for any help you can give.

My understanding with mundu is that you can use multiple aim accounts with the paid version. While I can't verify this on WM6 yet, I was able to do this on my palm.
BTW, don't you wish Pidgin would port already.
Yeah Pidgin would be really nice
I do have a retail ver of mundu im. I got it from handango last friday on Free-App friday. I don't know it it's exactly the same as the paid version, but it did let me update it today when the newer version came out. Are you using the version for PalmOS or for WM5?
Are you running the PPC or the SP version? I was able to use my Free-App Friday code to unlock the PPC version available for download directly from Mundu.
Unfortuantely I have noticed that this IM app, as "pretty" as it is, uses about 4X as much memory as Octro/Agile and still lacks a today screen plugin.
FWIW, I also got Mundu on free-app friday. I wasn't clear on what version I was getting from them (smartphone or PPC), so I downloaded the PPC version directly from Mundu's site, then applied the registration key Handango had emailed me to that version. So what I have should be identical to the "paid" version, but I can't find a way to sign on to the same service twice with two different IDs.
The bigger problem I'm having is, I have a friend who just got a Treo Centro, which comes with some kind of AIM messenger built in. When he messages me, I can't see his message. I get the the line that shows his id and the timestamp, but the actual text of his message is blank. He gets my messages, I get messages from his phone if I'm logged in from a PC, I get messages in Mundu if he sends them from a PC, and I and another friend of his with (an unkown phone) also gets his messages if he sends from his phone to his friends phone. But Mundo seems to omit the message if the message came from another phone.
That was my experience as well. Oh well... looks like we sit and wait for a port of Pidgin.

Not sure if this matters, but that's the smartphone version. The PPC version can be found here.

I'm thinking it's been modified for the t-mo network. I can't get it working wtih wifi either but that Agile Messenger works fine with wifi. Too bad it doesn't work on the Cingular network.
Got it downloaded and installed. thanks for the help guys. Im a newbie with this wizard. THough not with bleeding edge tech and rom upgrades. my sx66 had 5.0 on it. Then i sold it for $458. I paid $404 for it. If only T-Mo would update soon. Then i wouldnt have to "void" my warranty.
new rom is out from tmob
check the form index
What is OZ? How does it compare to MSN or Agile? Does it use Jabber or something similar?
OZ
and not talking about the HBO show
Oz is the default chat program from t-mobile it does yahoo icq aim
it uses txt messaging protocals so if you dont have unlimited text mess you will be billed for every send or recieve.
where the other Agile or the other programs that come from some one else use your Data edge tech not txt messasaging and will bill on that so if you have the internet plan if would fall under that not Txt messaging plan
OZ makes more money for T-mobile since most dont relize that it is using Txt messaging to send and recieve. and t-mob does not make that clear at all.
Bu99er that then. I'll leave it off, and stick with Agile.
Hi,
So, I recently got the Tmo MDA. And I'm pleased with it thus far. However, I know that it installed the OZ IM since I have it in my remove programs list - but where's the actual APP? It's not in the programs section....
Thanks,
Q
should be in
active syc to beable to remove it there
Oh, I know how to remove it, but where is this OZ IM application? I don't see an icon for it on my programs list.....
--Q
oz
says instant messaging not oz till you click it
I don't have any icon called instant messaging in my programs....Am I missing something?
--Q
maybe
the program
Ok, so...maybe I'm not making this clear.....I clearly have it "installed" on my PDA since it's there in my remove programs list, and I saw it being installed when I first turned on the pda and it ran through the customizations. I don't seem to have it listed in my programs, where on the PDA is it installed? Maybe I can run it manually just to see what it looks like....
--Q
PLease i just realised that i was still getting charged for sending text messages, even though i have tha total intertnet plan from tmobile.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a program that would let me send text messages bypassing the cellular network, and using my internet,(be it wifi or edge or gprs) to carry the messages.
Kinda like when you use your computer to send texts to phones, is there a program for windows mobile?
thank you in advance
I believe there are a few websites out there to send messages with, tmobile used to have a public SMS application, however I am unsure of any method of "relaying" an SMS message through the included pocket outlook sms handler to one of those sites transparently.
thank you. I still will be awaiting answers.

one approach might be to use an email server to bounce the messages to sms email addresses.
say you use the email side of the messaging app, either through synching to exchange or through a pop, imap or whatever, and point the email at the sms address, I forget what the tmobile address is, but for example it would be like [email protected]
I guess that semi solves the problem without any programming, you would just need each carrier's email address, and specify a return address that would go to your phone for when they SMS back.

previous:H6315(hell in gadget form), Tmo original xda PPCPE.
CaptDistraction, you need to be creative about the 6315; I gave mine to my wife when I upgraded to to 8125. Got rid of the memory hogs and you can't imagine how our relationship has improved, we now talk about the same techy stuff; she complaing, I fixing by the way she no longer complains about how much time I spend with my phone, cause she's now doing the same. Now we have no time to talk to each other...... :twisted:

Haha, I tried every rom out there, I kept the device for a while and finally sold it to support the MDA purchase.
Man I messed with that 6315 to no end, had so much stuff going on with it trying different app combos, spent hours in the registry, no matter how simple I kept it, I couldn't ever get it to answer calls in a timely fashion.
My biggest love with the MDA is when you press that green answer button, it immediately picks up the call.
After flashing HTC Rom i keep getting these random text messages from WC something wtih a bunch of numbers.. what is this?
If they say WVCI####, then most likely you used OZ Messenger for IM previously? And you didn't log out of OZ properly. you just closed the app...
See this my post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338690&highlight=wvci
Others have also said that you get this problem if you install OZ IM on your storage card and not your main memory. I'm skeptical of that, but some said it works. I stopped using OZ after day 1 so I don't know if it does or not...But the "logging in and logging out properly" method worked for me when I did have the issue that day. Also, you can log into your IM accounts on your PC. This forces the old connections from your phone to close and thus also shoudl end the messages.
tahnks for the help but what is OZ messenger? how do i log out
OK, if you don't use OZ messenger for IM, then it may not be the issue. Can you type the exact contents of one of the messages? and how often do they arrive?
1111470500
Wvci 1.1 111
theyre arrving once every couple minutes, happened after i flashed to HTC rom, i dont have anything custom installed

Yup, that is most likely the OZ IM ping SMS message. You never used Instant Messaging on your phone before or after flashing? OZ IM comes installed on the Tilt by default, i beleive.
Do you use ANY instant messaging? I mean, even on your PC? If so, log into all your IM accounts on your PC, and see if that stops the SMS messages.
It's gotta be something related to OZ instant messenger program.
i logged into AIM before the flash, but i dont have AIM on the new HTC Rom
how should i fix this?
thanks for the help btw
The easiest suggestion may be to go to a PC and log into your AIM account on the PC. Since this should force your previous session from the phone closed, it should stop the messages.
I don't know much more about AIM to be able to help. Do they have a mobile version? Or install some IM program that supports AIM. (I've heard good things about Mundu IM, but there are others - do a search on this forum). Install the program and use it to log into AIM. This shoud also stop it. And let you use AIm on your phone go forward. I don't know about the ROM you installed to know if it has an IM program built into it already. Whatever IM program you do use, make sure you log out before you shut the program down.
That's about as much help as I can provide since I don't use AIM, and don't know about the ROM you installed...I only use Windows Messenger (Live) and Skype...
thanks got it fixed, appreciate it
For future reference, and others who might have the issue later, how did you manage to get them messages to stop?
I presume the method of logging in from a PC resolves the issue.
Seems like the version of MSN Messenger that comes w/ WM6 has more features than the last version, but for some reason it is missing a few key things!!!
-I can't copy text from messages that people send me
-If I get sent a URL/link, I can't click on it to open it up in the browser.
Any ideas?
Somewhere I read that the version that comes with the phone is actually using SMS (and therefore your text messages), and not utilizing the monthly bandwidth that is a part of your service. Is this true? Think it also said that Windows Live was removed completely (messenger, search, etc) by AT&T. Can you download this anywhere?
Thanks!
Yeah, the Oz IM that comes installed on the Tilt uses SMS, not data. There are alternative instant messaging programs available that will use data instead (Palringo and Fring are a couple I use) but neither one of those will let you open a browser link, I've not tried copying text though. WLM is available in the stickied area of this forum concerning cabs and such - just look there and you'll find it.
i've been waiting and waiting and FINALLY got my invitation today, and i'm loving it. For anyone out there that wants to save on text messages,who actually has been invited, i'd suggest this (to keep this somewhat kaiser related) go to www.google.com/voice and simply log in, once you've done so...just make it your home page. that way anytime u want to see if you have any sms messages, all u have to do is hit the internet explorer hard key, and it'll open right up to your sms inbox.
by the way, i've heard that android mobile app is fully functional, and either iphone/blackberry are in the worlds, or on the way. but has anyone who knows about goovoice heard anything about a winmo app? it'd be nice to have an app in the background which always notifies you of new text messages/voicemails etc.
Yeah, I got my invite a while ago. I'm having a hard time getting used to it. It seems like a lot of work, and I've only really got 2 phone numbers. Not to mention, there isn't a Windows Mobile application yet.
i'm only using 1 number right now to be honest (no one calls me at my house number) but the voicemail transcribing and sms, call screening are things that i know i'm going to enjoy with this.
