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.

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
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.
SC
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.

I've asked this a couple other places, with no success yet...
What does it take to do MMS on one of these things? I've had Arcsoft MMS Composer suggested many times, but FINDING the thing has been impossible. Arcsoft goes on about it at length on their website, mostly about how various mobile providers are bundling it... but mine (Telus) isn't. They don't have a trial download, they don't list it in their store, they don't list anyone who sells it, and they don't even list a price (MSRP or otherwise).
So, does anyone know where I can find this thing? I don't mind paying (a reasonable amount) for a legitimate copy, IF I could find it!
Or suggest something else that might work...?
Thanks.
I know nothing about MMS. But I may have two leads.
I was just looking in a thread about YouTube on the S730, and followed the instructions to install support for it. I think ended up with support for MMS. TCPMP may come with it. If not, the flash plugin may add support. Both are available at www.ytpocket.com. A link on the home page provides tools and instructions for installing both. Free.
As I was composing this note, I checked the file association settings for CoreCodeC. They include MMS. Not free.
Hmm, not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about Multimedia Messaging Service - aka Picture Messaging, as opposed to just Text Messaging (SMS). In other words, the ability to "text" someone's phone with an attached picture.
This doesn't appear to have anything to do with that, but I tried it anyway, just for giggles... didn't make any difference to my problem.
Thanks anyway though, it'll be neat having YouTube on my phone
I'm not sure what you are getting at? MMS support is built into the phone? You just go to Message > New > MMS ??
That's the way it should work. With the old standard phones (my RAZR, my V710, my wife's LG, my Treo 650) you can just snap a pic with the camera, go "Send picture", and enter a contact, and it sends straight to their phone, same as you would a text message.
Windows Mobile 5 included this function. 6 apparently doesn't. There's a third-party app that some providers have chosen to include to provide the functionality, but Telus isn't one of them.
WM6 does after all I'm using WM6 and it's in my phone. It looks like that for whatever strange reason your firmware has removed that option.
From what I've been able to determine, MMS support *is not* native to WM6, at least not Standard version. WM6S phones that have it, are generally using Arcsoft MMS Composer, as bundled into the OS by the specific wireless carrier.
This, at least, is the best information I've been able to come up with between this forum and a few others.

I just started the photo app, chose album, selected a picture, chose "Send via MMS" from the menu, and saw a dialog that sure seemed to let me compose a message. I didn't check whether it really did. All this on an HTC S730 (WM 6).
Hmm, alright, mine doesn't quite do that... it has a Send option that lets me select a mail account to use, and Text Message is grayed out.
Apparently though, that's something that's common to almost all HTC phones except those that Telus provides
I was wondering if anyone has a cab for an Instant Messenger that doesn't use the internet but uses SMS to send messages. Since the newer ROMS has a tendency to remove this from their packages, I thought I would ask.
I have unlimited messaging shared across the family plan but get charged heavily for using internet.
So any good SMS Instant Messengers?
Search + sms messenger = you finding it faster then waiting on a reply
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...q=sms+messenger&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Thanks but I already had done the search before and didn't find the cab that worked. There were a lot of threads asking for the same thing but came to the same end as this having little to no responses.
One person had posted a cab for the 8525 and it didn't work as when I sent messages over the installed cab, the responses wouldn't be picked up by the program but by SMS as a text.
However, I did find the cab for it as noted from the ATT forums.
In addition to this, I was wondering if there was another program outside of the one that is provided by ATT that could do the tasks but in such a way to out perform it.
Anyhow, for future reference should I or anyone need it in the future, here is the cab for it.
i noticed that SMS instant messengers tend to need a data connection in order to connect initially, then every message from there counts as an SMS.
Though thankfully, after a series of calls to ATT, I have gained a consensus that initialization isn't charged.
Hello, I have a HTC FUZE with AT&T and an unlimited messaging package.
I'd like to use an AIM-based client via texting rather than data because i locked data usage (they charge $0.01/kb) and my phone connects automatically.
Anyone has the .CAB file to install on the phone?
I found a few in this forum but they were for T-Mobile and Sprint.
Thank you in advance!
Just sign on to AIM and hook up your phone for mobile usage...its uses texting rather than data..

Sign in to AIM? Where?
I mean, i want the application for my phone, the .cab installation.
The aim that my phone brought requires a data plan
I tried installing the new beta of aim too but it requires a data plan as well...
Here is the cab file:

It connects through data
it requires Media nET
Here's the OZ messenger that came default on AT&T's Fuze.
It uses txt messages to send IM's, but it MAY require a small amount of data transfer to get the list of online friends, etc. It should be minimal, if anything.

This one asks for data too, and i have my data unlocked because its "pay per usage" and they charge 0.01$ every 1kb.
So i can't use aim at all on my phone i guess.
Is there an updated version? Or is 2.0.84 the current one? I went to Oz's site and the screen shots look nicer, but i'm not sure if that's for WM phones and also, no download links on the site...
latest version is 2.0.94 but it looks the same as .84
All of them require some data. Read about OZ, you'll see. The one I poasted is dirtectly from AT&T.
