I'm seriously thinking of getting the TD2, but need some advise first. Can anyone recommend an IM client that I can use on the TD2 with Google Talk. I've had a search around the forums, but can't find any recommendations (in relation to the TD2).
If your using IM on the TD2, how does it alert you to new messages? Also, is there a status light on the TD2?
Thanks in advance to any help you can give me.
you can change the setting for receiving messages from vibrate to sound notification, and there is a led next to the top speaker which also alerts for messages

Try FRING, you'll like it. GoogleTalk, Skype, ICQ and so on -- all in one application
Fring seems to get stuck at "Logging in...", it's been going for about 8 minutes!
also try Nimbuzz. It supports Google Talk. I find it better than Fring because Fring used to hide the compose window with the soft keyboard on my Diamond 1 - so I couldn't check what I was writing. Nimbuzz works well, but doesn't have the SIP client that Fring has
Managed to get Fring working last night, over Wi-Fi. Still doesn't like running over T-Mobile though, I'm guessing T-Mobile must be blocking access because it supports VOIP. I seem to recall Fring has a Proxy server that you can use to get around this restriction, but when I go into Fring's SETTINGS menu, there's just a blank screen. I suppose this is a compatibility issue with the TD2 - the text is awfully big so maybe all the ticky boxes are off-screen? Had a poke in the registry and found some Fring registry keys, but not one to turn the proxy on and off.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix the Settings screen to work properly, or what to change in the registry, or even if using the Fring proxy will work at all?
Many thanks for any pointers :O)
It's not going to be very useful over Wi-Fi only - I primarily want it for the Facebook Chat and need to be able to use it while out and about.

First, what is a good and light* instant messenger program for WM6 that will use AIM?
Also, I used KaiserTweak to disable data after 60 seconds of inactivity, could anyone tell me what the specific registry entries are for that?
you've got 3 choices. 2 free. First is mundu im....this one is $11 for lifetime....its about the most polished out of the 3. second is palringo. just as good as mundu but lacks the same polish and supports image and voice messaging in the im itself. and then theres octrotalk...this one is still in beta but it shows some promise. currently im sticking to mundu but i switch back and forth to palringo.
you mention the data disconnect....this is interesting...i notice my device disconnects me from aim every now and then and i dont know why....you think this could be why? is this set to kill data after a certain time by default?
My opinion:
If you use MSN only, stick with the Windows Live Messenger, no other software is better than that (tabbed session is finger friendly).
And for multi IM, I use IM+
For me, it is nice and I like it very much. I can use left-right d-pad to change tabbed session
Are those IM programs actually using 3g or are they sending SMS back and forth? I have an unlimited data plan but not unlimited txt's.
It uses data not SMS. Interesting idea though, SMS encapsulated TCP/IP. Reminds me of that old TCP over carrier pigeon gag RFC.
thanks for the reply
I set mine to kill the data connection after 60 seconds. But I have noticed that when browsing on Opera it will disconnect causing a network not found error and then immediately reconnect itself. Could this be from disconnecting data connections after 60 seconds? I thought it only did that if not active.
Also make sure you DO follow my articles and DO search the Wiki. The latter also contains the IM Bible, to which I'll promptly add a Palringo section.
All this because AIM is supported by FAR more IM apps - not only three.

I am using the shogunmark one for WM6, and it seems to be working okay. I have an issue though that I am wondering if it traces to this application.
Sometimes in the morning, I notice that Outlook seems to hang with the "please wait" circle/hourglass thing and it requires a soft reset to fix. Simply closing all applications does not fix it.
I don't know if this is a corrupt issue with Outlook, ActiveSync, or if separating SMS from Outlook causes the problem.
I use the app without any issues. Send lots of SMS but I don't send MMS at all.
I have had no problems so far but i've only used it for a few days. Pocket Outlook works as normal as far as i know. I don't really send mms so losing that ability is ok by me.
Sending SMS from Outlook is very annoying for me not only because it's not threaded but also when i type the contact's name in the receiver field it only shows whatever number is filed under "Mobile Number" but most if not all of the people i text to have more than 2 mobile phone numbers and i cant change the number (or at least i dont know how to change it from there). The Palm application lets you choose whatever number you have under that contact's name.
there is a fix for the mms i forgot which thread its in,
Okay, thanks for the input.
I think my problem must tie into ActiveSync then or the fact that I use an Exchange Server.
Any other reason for that circle/please wait to constantly be showing?

Are you using push Hotmail with Windows Live?
I've found that if it was enabled and you were in an area with no/bad coverage or in flight mode, it would cause that multicolor circle to appear every few seconds and the device would slow to a crawl.
would anyone be able to direct me to where i could find the Palm SMS cab?

thanks trjons. Now I've gotta see if theres a fix for the MMS yet.
Does anyone know if the KaiserHomescreen is able to display the SMS count when using this threaded sms?
i use it to send sms and it works just fine except that for some reason when i try to send mms it tells me i dont have enough memory to complete this operation.please close some open windows and try again even thought i have over 70mb of free program and storage memory on my tilt
Well from what i've read using MMS from the Palm application is not possible at all. The "fix" is for the MMS tab to reappear in Pocket Outlook and to send MMS from there instead. I tried doing it for my v1615 on Vodafone but couldnt get it to work. Maybe others had more luck.
Ive been using the Palm Application since I flashed to the new rom.. I have not noticed this problem.. I will pay more attention and post back if I see it happening!

Yes, the HTC Home Today Plug-In does read the SMS count when using the Palm Threaded SMS app.

has anyone found or heard of a cab for voice texting, i found this website but its for nokia phones http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/?action=productDetails&pID=3304&pmsid=254&lang=en
i think this app would be cool if ur driving, ifind it difficult to text when driving especially with the tilt. any cabs out there?
You want Palringo. It does just that. IM and Voice IM.
have u tried it on ur tilt?
From the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking, http://www.nuance.com/voicecontrol/. Or try this Google search, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mobile+voice+to+text.
There was an application supplied with iMate JasJar's sold in the UAE by a company that came from Dubai.
Sorry but can't remember that far back what it was called (age ya know!)
It provided Extended SMS with colour/font changing, drawing and voice clip capabilities. It would only work if both parties had the SW installed.
Biggest drawback (and why its no longer available I think) is that the multiple SMS's required to carry voice data were more expensive than dialling someone's voice mail!!! Funny really...
I've Googled but there doesn't appaers to be anything suitable around at the moment.
i tried google...but that app for nokia phone looks like it works well any one kno if i can work on the tilt? and y does palringo ask for my mobile #?
You might try jott.com.
Does this work with AT&T Tilt 8925?
Should do!
It looks to me like a standard subscription service where you ring them and a little old lady types it in on her keyboard and sends it out as a text for you! (or is it the other way around?)
Not found an actual voice app but seen a nifty little SMS app that tags on nicely to the Kaiser called XMS from Imaginet.
http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=xms
Gives you full smileys and coloured handwriting but the flaw is the recipient also has to have it installed. Good job its 'Buy one get on free then!'
Ignore the 'up to CE2005' as it works perfectly.
Nuance not available for purchase!

Palringo works great on my Tilt. I'm using it right now to talk to a guy with Voice IM. Have also done text (standard) IM.

Palring is a free program? I can use it free ?
I have to pay something when i use it?
Palringo is an Instant Messaging package similar to MSN Messenger but also has voice.
No text to speech.
So you just register and it uses a data connection (phone or WiFi) the data call is the only cost so far.
but only to other Perlingo contacts? you can't use it to voice text anyone else?
It does not do 'voice texts' as such.
It's an IM client in its own right that can chat between its own members or any members on other networks such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ etc.
You can leave voice messages to other palringo users.
If you are wanting a package that sends voice over the standard SMS network then I think you will be out of luck as it would cost more in text messages to send the sound data than it would ringing.
Other alternative would be for someone to generate a Speach recognition package that writes your SMS and sends it out!
Why not send an MMS?? You can put voice clips on that!
yes voice to standard sms text message is what we (I) want. you're driving along and receive a text message. you want to just speak a short reply and send it rather than fiddling with the phone illegally to compose a message using the keyboard
I have disable email notifications on the phone, however an email notification shows up over my messenger icon from the stock Tilt messenger program from AT&T. I remember reading somewhere that there was a registry edit to change this but i cant seem to find it. I tried using Te kaiser tweak program before and it kept freezing my phone on the green windows mobile phone, and i had to hard reset a few times. Anyone have a solution for me not to see new emails in the task bar that cover the Stock Messenger program?
no one has a solution?
I dont quite follow your question. If your device has more than one type of notification (eg voicemail/email/sms/mms/reminder/im) to show at the same time then it should show a speech bubble, which you then click on and it opens a second line to show all the current notifications.
the problem is disable email notifications doesnt disable them in the taskbar. If you used the stock Messenger program on the tilt it would make more sense
what messenger programs do you guys use? I have the AIM one that uses data but I dont like not being able to tell I got an IM unless I amin the screen
am I the only one that uses the stock tilt aim program and is annoyed by it
I think so....
1) Disabling email notifications disables the pop up on screen messages - not the Envelope.
2) Have you tried Windows Live Messenger?

You know that that one uses SMS right? OZ is garbage, use something else for aim. . .
i just like having it being able to tell me i got a message in the task bar. So i can be in the home screen or something and know I got a message.
live messenger doesnt have AOL IM support
Just got a new diamond here in Tokyo connected the Softbank network.
It seems whenever I send out an email via Outlook/SMS/S! Mail(Service that allows SMS-like mail to be sent to regular email accounts or other cellphone providers...most people use it here in Japan) I get a "Your mail has been successfully sent" email confirmation everytime I send out a mail. For someone who uses all three services frequently, it tends to get a little annoying
I've downloaded many tweaks and modification applications for the diamond but it seems I'm still not able to find the workaround...
Does anyone know the cure for this or is this a known problem?

This little quirk bothers me too because I want to hit send and then lock the device; unfortunately, when I hit send and lock the device I get a bunch of notifications and the device unlocks itself and random uttones get pressed as its in my pocket.
It may be best to load a WWE rom and sort out the smail using mmslite. Getting JP input working however is another issue.
For the problem with the notifications in softbank's arcsoft mail app, I wonder if there is a registry fix we can do.

Go to messages, and disable text messages notifications.
Kevbodian, mjz147,
Thanks, I really appriciate your quick response!!
I checked out that Diamond tweak app and its one hell of an applicaiton!
It seems though, when I disabled the text message notification and soft reset, im still getting those alerts after sending MMS/SMS emails.
Is there something wrong with my device or I may have to do some manual modifications via registry? :\
Tried to just disable em in Windows?
Start/Messaging/Menu/Tools/Options/SMS MMS
There you can disable notifications. Atleast for SMS messages for me it works.

I guess I have bad luck when it comes to disabling notification via Windows.
Unlike the US version, my phone doesnt have just one central location for mail but two (Outlook application - used for PC email & SoftBank Mail - used for SMS and MMS...)
So when I looked under the option menu in Outlook tools, I wasnt able to find any SMS/MMS options...
Im sure theres a registry hack that can be used...im not so sure why the diamond tweak app could apply changes to everything except the "turn off notifications" option though...
Was anyone able to solve this issue?
Did you guys try Advanced Config v3.3?
It has a section devoted to messages tweaks.
It does have a tweak that disables notifications.

I currently have 3.3 installed and have used it to disable/enable many features on my Diamond. But it seems after I disable the 'SMS delivery notification' and 'SMS sent notification" fields (and soft reboot), it is still showing the sent notifications after sms/s!mail is sent...
As Kevbodian was saying, maybe there is a special reg hack that needs to be done under softbank's arcsoft mail app.
could somebody figure out what change is made when that notification is turned off and turn this into a cab file? the only thing that bothers me is the sound. i dont mind the bubble or the little icon on the top telling me that my sms is sent. thanks
this one is simple and right to the point install it and it doesnt give you the message, you dont have tons of menus to navigate through just that install
also i am simply reposting this app i did not develop it or design it credit goes where credit is due
so this turns off the sound AND the notifications also? thanks
yep no sound and no pop up message after sending one
i hope it helps
almost tempted to figure out how cab files work (arent they just reg edits?) and maybe try to see if i can change it myself. i like having the notifications (bubble and little icon on the top) but the sound can be annoying at times,
Edit1: also i just installed advanced config 3.3 and the notification thing works for me.
Edit2: also search "kraiser tweak" and you will find it has settings for this. a lot of settings actually for just the thing you are talking about. now we just need to find the edits in the registry because i dont really like having 2 configuration programs on my phone. (advance config, and kraiser tweak)
Edit3: ok i found this on the wiki....Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
.....so does this mean if it was changed to a 2,3,or 4 that would change the action of it? im really trying to look into this.....if you cant tell haha
