Folks,
I'm a experienced C/C++ programmer that's looking for interesting projects to try for the Wizard. Please post any application ideas you have here. Please start small and I'll post as I develop. Thanks!
For now I cannot come up with something that quick.
But is't good to know that someone like you is here...one of these days I will think of something, if I have an idea, you will be the first that I tell

I've got an idea How about making a stylus-gesture application for the today screen? Something like Firefox's mouse gestures but for launching programs, new sms or anything else. Maybe in conjunction with a button press for avoiding accidental launches.
What say you?
How about a foot massager? lol
i know! i know! u cant because the only programming language available to do a foot massager is cobol, rite? roflmao
Bluetooth messagine
How about a bluetooth messaging software like IM over Bluetooth?

Answering machine that accepts calls, plays a pre recorded message, then records the incoming message.
Just like a real life answering machine.

Yeah...that would be great, IF it is possible!

It's not due hardware limitations.

Yep, I go for the answering Machine. I hate my current provider maibox
we know it's not possible for GSM due to hardware limitations...how about CDMA devices like the HTC Apache?
I would LOVE a reliable, goodworking, and free AIM client. ive tried many of them but they dont suit my needs. If you can make something like IM+ but free and possibly better, thatd be great.

I have tried several softwares including PocketWakeUp, none of them can fully handle the "wake up from the standby" issue. They might work many days and then...boom.
Any idea has any ROM update solution for this? I'm Running latest official WWE ROM on Qtek 9100.

I one time had a problem with PocketWakeUp, install it to Main Memory and your problems will be over (at least with me that was the deal).

Possible Program
Maybe a stand-alone program that shows you your network connection info such as IP address, wap name/speed, network activity level on the today screen? I saw this once but it was bundled inside another pay app.

so i got my skyfire beta, but it doesnt seem to work with the tmobile proxy hack. my opera, IE, google maps, and everything still work (except weather panel, that worked for a while and now has stopped a couple weeks ago?) i get the lost connection message after it starts up, any ideas?

i'm in the same boat as you...its useless if there arent any network configurations...sorry to go off topic, but do you have an aim program that works with the hack?
no problem, I dont use aim, so i dont know of any. but i thought i heard of a website that had alot of different im clients embeded into the browser, so if you went there with opera, or PIE it might work, hope that helps (also hope that exists)

yeah i know of one that exists through the browser, but its so terrible...
palringo of course. theres some simple reg editing but all can be found on this, our great site.
but all in all palringo is the best. you'll see.
hmm, yes palringo is nice! although it disconnects so often here...
but btt: i´d love to TEST skyfire... but it doesnt connect through the active sync connection... (i´m using the niki, so no wifi ) how could i get it working?
sorry if im wrong posting it here.
For AIM, you could use Palringo or EQO, both can be setup to work with t-mobile's t-zones / t-mobileweb. EQO has a Today plugin, if that makes a difference to you.
Okay I did some searching but really can't pick which Instant Messenger to download for Kaiser/Tilt... I had Parlingo for my old HTC S710 which was good... but after reading some post is there anything out there that is top notch?

Palringo is the best balance of power management/features.
Beejive messenger is also very nice, but it sucks the battery down right now. It is still in beta right now.
IM+ is also a decent messenger app.
does anyone know of an instant messegner that works over wi fi?
They should all work as well over Wifi as over GSM connection.
so Palringo for the win???? lol.. so what does everyone use? time to list! hehe

Oz is the only one i know that doesn't actually, all the ones i mentioned will work via wifi
I like octrotalk it works with AIM, Yahoo, Google, MSN etc. Its nice and doesn't eat up much resource or power and its FREE.
http://www.octro.com/
Fring!!! i love it! works with all the IM's (and skype)
http://www.fring.com/
yes another instant messenger topic...anyways, palringo is still the best out. i just wish meebo would hurry up and release a version for windows mobile. its stupid when you think about it that they released a version for the ipod touch and iphone, but wont release it for winmo...which still has a HUGE handset market share. yes, i'm still pissed.
wap.whizzper.com
works thru Java, but pretty nice app. doesnt support landscape very well!
Fring Is Awesome
Try fring from fring.com.
Supports voice +chat for the most of the messengers with multiple id support.
Its light weight works over wifi, 3g and GPRS.
Thanks
Pankaj
Fring is nice, but unfortunately it fails on most WM6.1 ROMS. They're aware of it and say they're "working on a solution"
Palringo???
I have the latest version of Plaringo (with the location "feature"), but it only works over wi-fi. What do I need to do to get it to work over t-zones gprs?

It seems you can have audio/video chat with it.
Can you confirm it?

I've noticed that Palringo won't initiate a connection itself for some reason (at least on my ROM), and won't "pick" it if connected after Palringo was launched. I need to do something like check e-mail first so that the phone connects to GPRS, then I can open Palringo and it's OK. But it still disconnects and reconnects once in a while for no reason, and I hate the "close chat" on the right softkey. I happen to hit it by mistake way too often and closing the window when I still have messages to read. Same goes with OK button/the X button, so it's hard to minimize without closing the window (need to either use the red key to go back to Today screen or switch tasks with a task manager).
Jivetalk hands down for me. The only problem with it is that they haven't updated in months which is kind of annoying especially because the program has so much potential.
beejive is the best i've had so far love it use it erryday =] it looks wonderful fast and it has a good interface very smooth
Best Instant Messenger
i would def have to say jivetalk BY FAR. it shows if someone is on mobile. shows full away messages. lets you setup custom away messages. ichat bubbles and sounds. tells you if the person is idle. lets you customize sounds, vibrates,. etc. ONLY thing is it drains out my battery in 3 hrs!
Jivetalk / bejive ftw... Fring is ugly and slow, palringo doesn't support groups (one group for all msn users and all my icq groups)....
and btw. wow, 3 hours o0 my kaiser runs a whole day with bejive logged in.
Slick is the best for me... www.lonelycatgames.com
Hey guys, I made a topic today regarding to my battery life and the raphael. Instant messaging programs like Beejive drain my battery very fast. And the default instant messenger that comes with the phone doesnt really work very well. I am apparently signed in, but dont receive messages.
Anyway , I was wondering if there was any kind of messenger that didnt drain battery and worked. I am a former sidekick LX user, and the one thing i liked about that phone was the messaging capabilities. Even if i lose service, i still got my messages when I got service again, and i am afraid of missing important messages because of not being connected to data at the time i receive them.
Any ideas?
Palringo
I have been using Palringo (http://palringo.com) on my PPC and HTC Tornado smartphone for quite sometime now. Give it a try.
Try palringo. Its nice. Or IM+ is also pretty decent. The best I know....they don't suck the battery life right outta the phone. Beejive is knownn to drain battery life like hell!!
beejive is .net based apps, so it is not too ideal for 'always-on' apps like chat program etc. thats why i dont like .net based apps. it slow, always depends on .net runtimes, suck battery & beejive hv problem with my vga device. Palringo is the best so far
there are already several threads about IM programs, no need to start a new one.
hi, i've tried em all
meebo
hello aim, msn
nimbuzz,
im+
palringo
none of them cut it
they all have disconnect problems
or they don't have picture sharing
or slow my phone down wayyy too much
or take too long to load from the home screen
which one works for you? and is there a better solution out there?
i don't care if i have to pay, i'm willing to spend whatever as long as it works
i know that beejive on the bb and iphone work wonderfully, but beejive isn't available for the G1
i'm really frustrated the phone has been out for a lng time now and software developers don't care to see the market that they are missing out on by not creating a worthwhile chat app for the android platform
someone please help!
any input suggestions anything!!
btw i've even tried the google chat, aim and msn, using jabber hack/plugin
and it was alright until i started having connection problems with that too and wouldn't sign me on aim anymore
not to mention that msn doesn't work
so anyone?...
1 Word EBuddy...
forgot to include that in my post...
i've tried that too

of coarse its goin to slow your phone down and take long to load...they are freaking multi-chat apps.. its like runnin in the background and signed onto many other IM services.
and they disconnect whenever they are not used or opened in a while most likely
Ebuddy is the best. just terminate background programs that you are not using and you will be good to go, that's what I always do. Also, overclocking to MHz Max MHz lowest is the best config for all chatting platforms, thou it works best on the Ebuddy one..Advance Task Manager should help you with terminating the BG Programs.
Or you can connect through them all via google talk :]
