Does anyone know how to get Pocket MSN Messenger installed on WM2005 as it doesn't seem to be part of the ROM.
Many thanks
KTamas has just advised me it is integrated into Pocket MSN.
Wiki has been updated aswell.
This thread can be closed.
Thanks
Looking to use AOL IM primarily.. is octrotalk my best choice for Wm6?
I liked Palringo more.
OctroTalk made you register your yahoo as a jabber account or something, so after I did that some mysterious service kept logging into my account even if I wasn't there. So I went and changed the Yahoo IM password, and stopped using OctroTalk.
thanks i will use palringo
anyone have any other suggestions??
IM+ is nice, but its not free.
IMO, IM+ is the best out there, but yes, it's quite expensive for a WM app...

I just installed IM+ and am very impressed with it. Worth the money.
Can we do Voice chat in palringo with online yahoo/gmail contacts
I'm new to IM on WM devices (not new to WM or IM though, just the combination), and wanted to know if any of these allow you to stay logged in and appear available with the phone in standby mode, and then will notify you when a message arrives.
Thanks.

You can send Voice IM with Palringo to any of your contacts. they will receive an IM that has a link to the Palringo site to click on to get your voice message. While it can be a pain (for the person not running Palringo) I've had chats with a contact running Palringo where they are Voice IM'ing me, and I'm typing text back to them.
If you are asking if you can do 2 way voice chat (sort of like skype) then no, Palringo is an IM style Voice. But whats nice about this is the receiver can listen to your message when its convenient for them (like with IM, you read it when its convenient) then respond via voice or text.

I used OctroTalk on my Dash when I only used WiFi. It doesn't seem to work over AT&T's MEdia Net because of the proxy.

Frankly, guys, I don't understand why you don't read the Wiki before asking. There is a FULL review of Palringo in there ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tiplatform instant messenger client: Palringo ), where I've answered ALL questions like these.
It can't chat over VoIP but supports single-directional voice clips. Nothing else. If you need VoIP / real chat, get Fring, it supports full VoIP with Skype, MSN , Google Talk and standard SIP. Note that OctroTalk also supports Google Talk. The latter no longer supports Yahoo Messenger – earlier betas didn’t gray out “Call” with YM clients.

All of them do. Read the IM Bible - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The Windows Mobile Instant Messaging Bible

Thanks Buddy.
Your review links have answered my all the questions. Hats off to you...
Just One last silly question:--
As you mentioned while installing Fring.. "Make sure you let it also run the CAB file so that it is installed".
My question is that will we be having an option to choose the path while installing cab. So that i can install it on my storage card instead on phone memory.
Actually it's a generic question and due to performance i want to install all my cab files in my storage card....
Thanks for your help.....

Yup, you will: WM5+ asks the destination when you directly click a CAB file.
However, Fring is auto-starting and the memory card MAY not be available during booting, which MAY result in a boot-time error message. Therefore, if you encounter these problems after resets, make sure you (re)install it to the built-in storage instead.

Under WM5+, on models not suffering from compaction problems (and the Kaiser is one of them), it's no longer necessary to keep the built-in storage clean and install / copy as much stuff to the card as possible.
www.fring.com is also a great IM/voice-enabled client.
(And free !!)
I'm using the last freeware version of Agile. Still works fine. Recurring charges are ridiculous for an IM client, especially when you can get great open-source apps like Adium for absolutely no charge. It's legit, since nobody can force you to upgrade your install of their app.
I tried IM+. It was OK but not that great. Mundu refused to let me run their current version despite selling me a "lifetime" license for their PalmOS version a year or two ago, so I not only refuse to pay their extortion fee but recommend against using their software. Their "lifetime" license ... isn't.
i found i cannot show the dialog when using diamond, but its work in my atom life, anyone know how to solve this?
tis is better

Hi there,
I've tried for the last few days to have working MSN (Windows live Messenger) and Gmail clients on my Diamond.
After investigations, the problem I have with this is due to the fact that my provider (France - SFR) does not allow msn protocol, as well as pop/imap. As a matter of fact, only HTTP and HTTPS are allowed.
The only way to get these working is to use web-based (HTTP 80) clients.
I've tried ebuddy and some others for msn, as well as the official gmail java client. Both are working, but fonts are very small, since both are designed for QVGA screens.
So here is my question: do you know msn/gmail WEB-based clients with VGA interface for WM ?
Thanks a lot !
For GMail you can just point your browser to http://m.google.com/mail.
I would seriously consider switching to another provider though... Only http? They are living on which planet?
hello
for gmail, opera 9.5 on the diamond is working perfectly, you don't even need to use the mobile version ... (igoogle is also working great by the way)
you can also use the mail2web solution.
I'm in france and with sfr too, I'm transferring all my emai from gmail to my mail2web account, then I use activesync to synchronise with the exchange server of mail2web (which is http...)
I then have all my gmail in outlook (in the touchflo3D interface) it's working great (can even work as push if you setup activesync in always connected... but the battery won't last long)
for msn, web messenger should work great... or we just wait that sfr release the sfr messenger for the diamond...

Yawn... search, search, search... I've explained the solution to this problem at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2426977&postcount=24 :
in a nutshell: double the values of HKCU\Software\JBlend\AMS_Font_Size, VM_Font_Size0, VM_Font_Size1, and VM_Font_Size2
Thanks.
@ Menneisyy: I searched a lot before posting, and my question was not about java-based apps only.
@ Andrax: Thanks for the tip, it's quite cool with mail2web. You can't answer with your genuine mail address, though... Don't understand why SFR blocks imap and pop. I tried messenger by sfr (qvga java version): does not seem to work with JBlend, did you try it?
the java machine installed on the diamond is not jblend... so what menneisvy is saying is not working as such...
maybe in his original post he explain which jblend java machine to install ...
let's search search search
You can go in the parameters of the gmail client to use a bigger font. It's still not that big, but it helps.
But since it is not designed for VGA and touchscreen, it is not that better than the classic online gmail app (what really bugs me is the first warning about the VM thinking the gmail app is not secure, and still the VM to request confirmation to use data connection, and no way (as far as I know) to tell it it's good once for all).

hello hantoucc
The gmail java app uses HTTP and HTTPS connectors. So it should work perfectly with SFR restriction.

Palringo works indeed quite fine...
Hello Everyone,
I am a recent addition to the WinMo community and to the X1 bunch in particular.
I have been messing about with my new Xperia (hardSPL, Custom ROM etc. etc.) and I seem to have run into a shortcoming that is WinMo related and not ROM related.
Apparently (I have searched the forums for this quite extensively) there is no way to have a notification (sound or vibration) to inform me when an email has been pushed from an exchange server directly to a subfolder of my inbox, based on a server side rule (i.e. having all the emails sent from my office go directly to my inbox subfolder that is labeled Work Emails).
I am sure plenty of people here have exchange accounts with subfolders, so there must be a solution. Moreover, I cannot understand how this feature is present on email clients for Symbian devices for Microsoft Exchange but is not supported in Microsoft's own Pocket Outlook (RoadSync for Symbian has this feature).
So far I have found the following 2 work-arounds (i would not define them solutions):
1) FlexMail 4. I have not tested it myself but apparently it does notify subfolder emails. However I don't like the idea to spend money on an application that cannot be integrated in TF3D or SPB.
2) http://www.blackmonlabs.com/faq.html; This is a small app specifically ment to fix this issue. However it is not compatible with any of the shells for WinMo 6.1.
So here I am asking the community the following question:
Is there any way to fix this?
Is this fixed in WinMo 6.5?
I am not a programmer, but it would appear bizarre that there is no way to associate a notification to an email, simply because it does not appear in the inbox but in a subfolder of the inbox.
Please help a newb ;-)
P.S. I don't mind paying for a solution. As long as I don't have to give up any functionality of the ROM simply to get the phone to vibrate when I receive an email to my subfolders.
Mate, I understand your frustration!
I have found this a pain since I had my first windows mobile device (Orange SPV - and the 14 devices since!) and have given up on M$ ever fixing it (if they see it as a problem!).
To answer your question, No it is not working in 6.5 either.
Here's hoping that it will in Mobile 7 but I ain't gonna hold my breath!
@Sganatra
This is really bad.
I am hoping someone is going to post and shed some light. What I don't understand is the fact that from a coding point of view this would seem as a trivial matter. All that is required is to extend the settings applicable to the inbox to all the subfolders, in such a way that if a new message in the inbox triggers a vibration and graphical notice the same applies to a new message in a subfolder.
However, the fact that there seems to be no fix for this is very problematic....I have 5-6 subfolders for my email account. All the business people I know use multiple folders...I would go insane if i did not have an automatic way of sorting incoming messages....
I guess I will have to work out a way to get around this problem.
Can someon confirm that FlexMail 4 positively notifies emails to subfolders?
Any other email client for WinMo is most welcome as well.
Thank you
Ok, someone has suggested installing second today and using the blackmonlab software therein.
However, this still appears to be a less then optimal solution.
I am thinking about putting a bounty on this, I am willing to pay for a cab/registry fix/hack ....whatever really, that will give me notifications/alerts for email received in my exchange subfolders.
Hey, m8, I am facing your same problem.. It is unbelievable! Did you find any solution?
Thanks
Hi All
I use "X826" Rom and get notification as soon as mail is send from Exchange server to my X1.
Work 100% - Best Rom that i have used
