Quick question.. I've been using both Opera and Skyfire I heard that its not a good thing to use Skyfire to login to sites like myspace, accounts, etc. just wanted to double check.. and that Opera is a safer bet to login to username and password sites..
I read that too
skyfire is a no no for stuff like that

Why?
Not that I have and I'll keep this in mind. I'm just wondering.
I understand the concern on using skyfire because it does everything server side but I doubt that it is their intentions to intercept peoples accounts although I could be wrong...
Ive used skyfire numerous time for banking, i usually change passwords every few days on internet banking anyway. But just wanted to be clear, ive never seen a problem .. and i been using it this way for atleast 5 months id say.

Hey all.
So i know that the relationship between Gmail's IMAP feature and WM6 is known to be very bad. I'm having the same problems. Only message headers appear on some emails, with absolutely no body- at all!
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a fix for this problem. I have used the search feature on this forum as well as Google itself and haven't found much of anything.
I've heard of things such as mobi mail (something like that), but im not really sure how it works. Apparently it fixes the IMAP issues with Gmail, but does it require viewing your email by first opening another program? I really like to just go to the messages center of my phone and select the email and go directly to the email. Also, if i were to use this, would the number of new emails show up on the HTC home plugin that i have install on my Tilt?
I know there are alot of questions here, but this is a very frustrating issue, that i'm sure a lot of people have. Thanks so much for all your help! I want to be able to use my Tilt to its best potential!!!
As far as i know there's still no fix for it. I don't understand why google hasn't already fixed this problem.

Android?
I know this isn't really a solution to this exact issue, but I have found the latest Beta of FlexMail 4.0 to have EXCELLENT Gmail IMAP support. You might want to give it a try. The latest Beta has also been much more stable on my device than previous versions of the software were.
I have no problem accessing gMail on my Tilt. whats your issue exactly? Do you have the settings properly configured? -- i;m leaning towards no.
I just use opera mini to access my gmail accont directly.

Hmmm, perhaps rather than replying with this rather unhelpful post you could share your settings.
I too experienced the issue mentioned above. About 50% of my email messages were blank. No problem with Flexmail though. Now perhaps in the last few weeks Google has upgraded their server and the problem doesn't exist, but at the time I reviewed their forums there were SEVERAL others with the same problem and Google's response was that IMAP for WM was not yet officially supported.

Are you using IMAP or POP3, because there a only problems with IMAP. So be sure that you are using IMAP and give then an overview of the configurations you did. If you've got the solution, my gratitude will be great. Thx
ok, using pop3 is just a pain. It doesn't sync with your computer, so you have to read messages twice.... blah blah. That doesnt even seem like it should be an option. Gmail just needs to get their crap together and get IMAP working. there are many other email providers that have excellent support. I have thought about switching, but (other than the IMAP problem) i love gmail!
But, no one has addressed my questions about these other programs. Flexmail and mobimail included. I'm not too sure what these applications are. Could some one explain what they do/ how they work?
Also, will the email notification on the HTC home plugin still function if i do decide to use one of these third party programs?
Google's official statement about IMAP on WM6 (in their gmail help section):
Please note that emails downloaded in HTML format may not be displayed in your Windows Mobile client. We're currently aware of this issue and working on a fix.

well you wouldn't think that it would take MONTHS to fix this problem. especially considering that other ISP's have their IMAP working flawlessly, not to mention the time and effort that gmail has put into iPhone compatibility. How many more Windows Mobile based phones are out there than iPhones????? Yeah.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!! Thanks guys.
Heya,
I just recently got the Fuze and also a first time user of the wimo OS and I just found out that I get charged for the IMs that i send through the default IM softwares. Is there any decent or good IM software out there for wimo? I have the unlimited data plan so I'd like to make the best of it. Thank you very much.
There's a plethora of programs for this purpose. Try looking for Sling, Octro Talk, Fring, IM+, etc. My personal program is BeeJive/JiveTalk.
Have a look here and here
does beejive and IM+ required to be paid for?
and among the freewares, which would you recommend the most?
I tried installing Beejive but for every message that comes in/or I send i receive a text message saying WVCI 1.1 aim. Any way to get rid of this?
For ICQ especially is the best solution software named Pigeon. For Push-to-talk conversation via internet use Palringo.
I ended up using EQO.. the only problem i have with it is the fact that i cant read what i typed down until i send it.. it seems to be a bug of some sort.

So far every aim client i've tried is doing the same thing. The one that comes with the fuze was great until i found out it uses SMS.
yeah. i found that out after wasting 10 or so txt msgs....
EQO is a pretty nice freeware IM and it seems like the landscape mode issue is present in all other IM software.. maybe it's a HTC thing.
might it have anything to do with the resolution of the phone? maybe the programs aren't optimzed for this res?
Slick messenger is free...... He supports ICQ, MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, AIM and Jabber.
I do love Palringo. It is very fast and can do everything you need!
Palringo
I have to agree with the previous poster. http://palringo.com - easily the best option out there. Tight integration, multiple accounts active on multiple services, includes AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and Jabber/GTalk.
Only weird thing is that you have to create an account on their website first. But then if you ever move phones / reinstall, your profile includes all your accounts already. And you can send picture messages inline directly.
Personally I like IM+ the best, It has support for aim,msn,yahoo,googletalk,icq, and jabber. You do have to pay for it however.
edit, but now that ive seen palringo in the posts above i think my first impression is wow that looks a lot nicer than im+.
another vote for plaringo. i use it very often with the voice chat, picture now location (gps/cell tower trianglutaion) works on my desktop and ppc
One big minus for Palringo...it drains the battery very quickly. Instead that,it is perfect solution for voice messaging also via slow GPRS! and it's multiplatform(I use it with Hurricane and previously with Himalaya).
I don't think Palringo is all that big of a battery hog. I used to keep it on for hours at a time and never had any issues on my Kaiser. This was generally quick bursts of a dozen messages a couple times an hour.
But yes, my preferred IM client on Windows Mobile so far. Have not tried any of the for-pay ones. Yeah you do have to create an account, but it's because they want you to use their messaging service which seems like it would be very useful if you know anyone else with the program. It's multiplatform, and has media sharing and push-to-talk which I hear works decently well.
Palringo is my vote. I BOUGHT IM+ about 2 days b4 someone showed me Palringo. I was sad.
Only drawbacks for me is I use AOL IM alot. It doesn't keep my AOL directories. It just throws everything into "online" or "offline".
No vibration feature or light. I think IM+ had those.
I LOVE voice IMing. As long as you AIM someone with the sound on, they get a tag saying I sent a voice message. When they click on it, it plays back what I said. Very handy while driving.
Allows two different AIMs to be signed in. I like that. Sometimes I need work aim and home aim on.
Now I kinda use AOLIM client for Windows Mobile. Works fine. And has my directories.
+1 for Palringo
I've tried every PPC IM program out there and Palringo is the one I settled on. I'm very happy with it and it's free. They also continue to improve it and add features (though I'm very happy with it now).
-Mc
Oh. I dloaded IM+ since I havn't used it in about a year. They IMPROVED it. Now has a history, remembers my aol groups. Only thing still missing is vibration and teh ability to show AIM personal messages.
Hello, I am needing a new MSN, really need this one, I use the regular MSN of fuze, but it input (on mobile device) up in my window, so I tryied another one, I think you already know, it is SLICK
Slick works many protocols, as ICQ, YAHOO, MSN and others, and it let you to log-in offline, and send/receive offline messages, but there is a very annoying problem with the slick.
I dont know why, but when I am using it, and the fuze sleeps, so many times appear the message: "FAILED TO ALOC MEMORY" ERROR
I would like to find a app that I can use it as slick, but without this disturbing error, it everytimes updates, I the developers should have thinked about it already, because it is so normal to happen.
Do you know any app?
try out beejive
well I found nimbuzz works great for me.... hope this helps
Try Parlingo
try parlinggo, its great and have simple but nice interface
Palringo
Yes. I must agree palringo works great, and with many protocols. Im using it with msn, yahoo, and facebook.

Nimbuzz seems to be a great app. Seems to be the only one with skype integration. Do you have any idea where to get the cab for Nimbuzz? The java version perfectly starts using JavaFX, but the touch screen doesn't work.

dolphin browser uses the stock browser as its base so they are basically the same. try opera mobile not opera mini i have the best results with that browser another good one to try is boat browser
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.
Had same experience trying to log into my bank account via browser. Had to go in and reset on my PC as it gave me to many login attempts and locked out my account. Happened this morning about 7:30. Never had any problems before using the browser.
Edit: just checked it and I am able to log in now. Know for a fact I had the right login and password this morning, so not sure what was going on.

So your fix was to reset your passwords?
Hi there,
I've read in plenty of sites that password syncing was working with mobile Chrome. Also that in the latest I/O they announced going out of beta and supporting password syncing; but then again, other sites said that it will be an incoming feature...
So, is it really working or not? I don't see an option to sync passwords in my Chrome Mobile, I don't know. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks!

I'm wondering this too and been waiting a long time for it to be implemented. I don't want to go to a third party, I just want Chrome to handle the password syncing between devices. I hear that it's being supported but I don't see how to do it.
Okay finally I found the definitive answer here:
http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-57463395-12/chrome-goes-mobile-at-i-o-2012/
The iOS version of Chrome has the password syncing but apparently the Android version doesn't have it yet, but it will be coming soon...
