Hey everyone, I have an ATT Tilt with windows 6.1. I have unlimited txt. I would like to use aim on my tilt,the only thing is that it dosent show all my buddys. Ive been googling for a program to install that still uses SMS and not data. So i came here to see if anyone knows one that is like the Oz one that comes preinstalled.
Thanks Steve
you can download the new aim mobile http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/aim-for-windows-mobile or get octrotalk (no visuals, use aim, yahoo, msn). you need a gmail account though to use octrotalk...you can even use gchat on it too. works well and doesnt use to much memory
does it use text messages or data?

Looking at the web site, it shows:
"*U.S. only. AOL Mobile services may require a wireless data plan and charges from your wireless carrier may apply. Not all AOL Mobile services are available on all wireless carriers or on all wireless devices. Check with your wireless carrier to confirm that product use is consistent with your carrier's Terms of Service."
why would you have a phone like this and NOT have data?
he could be like me and used to only have a razr but his lovely gf bought him a kaiser =]
as for the official aim program ,it uses data/wifi. i am also in search for an aim program that uses text instead of data ( data disocnnects too much where i work).
?? blackberry?
texters are for blackberrys! hehe i had a blackberry for 5 years! now i got the Tilt and never going back specialy with 6.1 a big improvment better than my last try for a windows mobile phone witch was a 8525 with 6.0 rom
data is 40 dollars. also the best messanger is www.beejive.com
its in alpha stage but, it works 100% and they wont bring it out of alpha stage. I dont not know why... cuz its a great program

Hi, I am new to this forum.
I have a question, I just got my Kasier a weeks ago.... before I have a T-Mobile Wing
I try to set up my phone to use the T-Zone
I can get it work, but I cannot get the IM thing working though the T-Zone.
I do install the Agile Messenger & IM+ both of them only can use it on the wifi when i at home...... any way i can use those program when i use t-zone?
I only pay 5 dollars per month......for the T-zone.
ANy info or suggestion will be help.....
As far as I know, T-zones only allows you to use certain ports. Now the IM client might be using other ports that are blocked. For more information on what ports are enabled or not, go here: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/T-Mobile_Data
- TKN
If you want to use AIM, in IM+ change the AIM port to 110. Then IM+ should work over T-Zones.

Hi all,
I've just ordered the HTC TYTN II with Orange in the UK. The phone is going to arrive on Tuesday and I thought I'd take a moment to work out what I'll need to do when the phone arrives.
I've had a little play with the phone in an Orange shop and I've concluded that the Orange firmware isn't very good. As a result, I think the first thing I'll need to do is flash the firmware with a generic one? I've never flashed one of these phones before and this'll be my first Windows Mobile device, if anybody could point me in the right direction it'd be great.
After that, what software should I be aware of for the device? It'll be handy if you know what I want to do with the phone and why I've chosen it.
I use my laptop a fair amount, but it's not always feasible to have it with me. As a result, I'd like the TYTN II to do some of my work on the go. I'll need it for:
Accessing work e-mail from an Outlook Exchange server and personal mail via POP3
Some sort of calendar, preferably one that I could sync to Outlook or Remember The Milk. I don't currently have a good calendar solution and what a means to have a calendar on my desktop, laptop and mobile. All of which need to be synched! Something that'll eleviate the need for a paper diary.
Web access, I need to access sites quite often, is the default browser any good? I don't have a mobile internet plan unfortunately (Orange don't seem to offer anything good, no mobile broadband, so I'll be using wi-fi access where I can).
Those essentially are my main requirements. If anything, I want the TYTN II to be my personal planner. Want it to have all my notes, calendar items, tasks, e-mails etc in one place and want those items to also sync to my desktop and my laptop.
Thanks in advance for any advice, I'm excited about getting the phone, just another 2 days to wait!
Sorry to sound like an a**, did you ot notice the rules, and the 5 stickies in the Kaiser forum? Just use the search functions, XDA is flooded with topics such as yours.
"where should I start?"
Ummm, here's a good place. Start reading, don't flash any roms for a while just play with the tons of Cabs and tweaks for starters, and there are a TON.
Have fun.
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?

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
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

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 :]

How can I change my HTC Touch pro 2 phone from it's designated orange UK network to the Aussie 3 Network so that I can access my3 and 3 planet apps.
The phone does work ok with the Aussie 3 sim card.
Will I need to update the Rom or upgrade the firmware ?
If yes where can I find the downloads to do this ?
I'm a bit of a novice so if you can keep the info in simple terms please
cheers

the problem you have is that 3 don't sell the TP2, so support from them will be limited/non-existent. Are 'my3' and accessed via the web browser or are they icons you click on?

That wouldnt be necessery as the handset is already unlocked.
Firstly i would install Hard SPL
Secondly i would start looking for either a standard HTC ROM or Custom ROM to remove the Orange branding, this should make things easier. With 3 AUS not selling the TP2 getting into my 3 may be awquard and i cannot help you there.

AFAIK you can access it via the browser, i know that my Orange UK stuff is accessible via the browser so i dont see why it should be an issue on 3, especially when in the UK a lot of GSM handsets are connected on 3 and can access everything.

Nope that aint true, all I did was call 3 and customer service will put you through to the internet tech support people. I told them I have a TP2, and they sent me all the settings by sms so I can use my 2 gig data plan, surf the my3 website, send and receive mms. If this doesnt work for whatever reason, pm me and I'll try get the settings for you.
As a side note, 3's data plans dont include free use of skype and msn messenger for the TP2 because the phone wont support it :S

How does the phone not support it? Palringo is a mutli-protocol IM client I use with the TP2. I also used it with my old Hermes. It does MSN, AIM, ICQ, and a ton of others. Also, there is a Skype application for Windows Mobile that is made by Skype, Inc. You can download it via their website at www.skype.com. And Palringo at www.palringo.com.
Many of these providers have 'custom' apps that they imbed into their shipped ROMS. As there is no shipped ROM from 3 AUS for the TP2, you might be pushing **** up hill. Of course they will support the device as a handset as it runs all the right frequencies etc. There's probably a proxy involved as well - that's how Telstra do it anyway for their apps like Foxtel.

That is true of what seems to be all providers with regards to the custom embedded apps, but to say that it isn't compatible with a program, is going a bit far. As for the proxy, AT&T here in the US uses one too, if I remember correctly.

What I meant was, on my 2 gig data plan, if I was to use a nokia phone for example, the data used for communicating with msn messenger and skype is not taken from the 2 gigs because there is unlimited free use of it since 3 have their own software which the user must download off their websites. There isnt such software available for windows mobile from 3, so data use for skype and msn on a win mob phone would take away from the 2 gig plan.
This is rediculous! It should be included, how hard is it for them to make a win mob version for their customers, the operating systems shouldn't affect compatability.

sorry, I wasn't saying the handset isn't compatible, but rather that it might be difficult to get what is required from the network provider, esp if it is an app.
hopefully carpkernel will be able to get to what he needs through a browser, thus removing the need for any custom telco provided app.

Ah yeah. T-Mobile in the US has a similar thing. The IM app they use, uses your text messaging as opposed to data. Thank goodness here we have unlimited data, so no need to worry about limits.

"Reasonable price" are two words that cannot be used in a sentence to describe Aussie carries for data plans. We dont even have unlimited internet plans for HOME cable and adsl 2, without the provider capping our speeds after reaching 60 gigs on most plans... how backwards are we.

The free minutes that 3 (Aus) provide are only available if you use their custom skype client which uses a dialup-gateway for access to skype network.
EDIT: I did post a whole lot of info about using iSkoot to connect to 3skype but it seems that 3 have now thwarted that so it is hopeless. You can (apparently) still use one of the java clients intended for other phones but I cannot confirm this (the old LG Shine jad I have doesn't run on my JBlend java and even if it did it would suck without any touch support or D-pad)
Thanks for your help everyone all sorted...Found the info on the Aussie 3 website. Not exactly the easiest info to find on their site but its just a simple case of putting in your mobile number on the 3 site and they supply a code. They send you a message and you type in the code and the settings are changed Automatically. Planet 3 settings are also sent to the phone so that I can use my pre paid plan. For anyone who has had the same problem cut and paste the link http://www.three.com.au/care and follow the instructions. Thanks again much appreciated.
glad it worked out for you
Thanks for posting that info, am on the 3 network too and this worked for me.
Just received my Touch Pro 2 today from an Australian online store, but I note phone has a Singapore 240V adapter and am downloading the WM 6.5 upgrade from the Singapore section of HTC after punching in the SN. Won't let me download the WM 6.5 upgrade from the Aussie Download area.
I must admit with this non aussie ROM the reception is better than my old touch pro. Carpkernel do you have access to the aussie WM 6.5 upgrade via your SN on the HTC website?
