IMing on Android?

Okay, so I know I can add Windows Live, AIM, Yahoo!, etc. accounts to contact details. Then, when I go to the contact, I can supposedly 'click' on the say Windows Live to chat, but when I do, nothing happens. Am I missing something? Does the Nexus One come with the applications built in or do I have to download them? If I have to download them, what would be your suggestions?

I got ebuddy...works great (facebook chat is iffy sometimes but everything else is flawless)

I've used Nimbuzz and Fring and they both work just fine for your IMing needs.

So I guess Android doesn't come with anything preloaded?

Yes that's correct. The only chat/IM capability that the Nexus One has embedded in it is Google Talk, and that's only because it has several Google Apps included with it.
Technically, none of those are included in "Android." Android is the Operating System.
Curious, what gave you the impression that all those other clients were supported by the Operating System on the Nexus One without running an app?

Well, because when I added them, it says Chat with Windows Live and you can click it, but I guess it has the functionality to 'hook' onto an application that actually supports said chat service? I guess I should of known. XD

+1 for ebuddy.
You create a free ebuddy account and all your IM logins to account. I have AIM, MSN,GMAIL, FACEBOOK. all in my ebuddy account. So when i login to my ebuddy account all those IM apps are logins also.

You are 100% correct. After you install an IM client, it'll load the app you installed when you click "chat with.." through contacts.
Gotta love android intents.
Now if only yahoo/msn/aim would create proper push im clients for android....grrr

meebo doesnt require a login except for a yahoo,msn,gtalk,aim,etc.
very nice to see it grouped into 1. i have all on ONLINE group so when i sign in everything is grouped together.

Best one I've tried so far. Besides the one that came on Enomther's ROM.

The first version of android on the g1 had a default app. Some devs cook it into there roms. Don't know why google removed it out was better than any other in my opinion.

Does an all-in-one messenger exist?

I'm curious if an all-in-one messenger exists or is even possible, and i'm not just talking about having Facebook or a.i.m on the same app. I'm looking for something more like how BlackBerry users messaging app works, where when an e-mail arrives, and a text arrives it will all show up in the same app with the click of one button.
If any already exist or if this is even possible any news would be wonderful
Thank you in advance.

Im not sure but maybe Nimbuzz does what you are looking for!

Give it time 2-3 months or maybe one more beta, it is still in pretty deep beta. But no doubt the Epic will get priority because it is designed for specifically that. I would search the Skype forums.

Nevermind. I had a brainfart. I think you might find it in evo, same section as this.
Looking to swype skype?

Thanks I just looked skype forums. I guess they want to implemente videochat on it, thas why is not there.
I'll look in the evo section, thanks!!

Thank you.

Right now there's no real way to use Skype with an official client on the Epic without a lot of work, but you can use Skype through Nimbuzz, which is free on the market.

IM+ worked perfectly on my blackberry the last 4yrs and they have a droid client free & paid. But, it doesnt appear to connect to Skype since I have been trying it.
Besides, the droid is a rough beta compared to the look, feel and behavior of the rim version....
I believe the Verizon exclusive partnership with Skype is holding things up at this point.
Is there any stable Skype chat 3rd party client out there, i can wait for video chat by stressing Qik...
PeAce!

Thanks dude, keep us updated cause I want it bad also and it could be a big block buster item that will propel this system.
Has anyone here got Google Talk to perform video chat on the phone?
We could only get video and no sound between two laptops yesterday with GT.

IMO.im allows skype texting functionality.

Skype works... google skype lite beta 1.0.0.5... verizon paid for exclusivity is all. Bu the old beta build still works on all phones =)

Thanks I just install it but man that version is horrible I can't even call my contacts nor use my skype credit, hopefully skype will hurry up and get it back to work on all androids.

Torrent App for Phone

i have tried both ttorrent and dtorr and neither one works. i can add torrents but they never start downloading.. i am using bamf remix 2 beta 5. any ideas? has anyone been able to get torrents to work?

Am pretty sure Torrents around here are taboo and not to be discussed but I could be wrong. I'll follow the thread out of curiosity.

I dont see why? torent apps are 100% legal its what you downlload that "Could be illegal" and he was not asking anything about that kind of stuff

I'm on stock Rom and ttorrents works really well.

I use transdroid to control my seedbox. I think you could set it up to control the torrent client on your pc.

Adownloader is the best I've used. It has no download speed limit and its free.

I use swarm. The downloads start pretty fast and i haven't had a problem so far.

In tTorrent - did you go into Settings and uncheck the "Use Wifi Only" option?

Torrent-fu is my favorite.

In re-reading the thread, it appears you were asking for local clients for the phone. Torrent-Fu controls a remote PC. Sorry about that.

Make sure in torrent under settings that you uncheck the option to use WiFi only.

i have used all of them and andtor is by far the easiest and fastest torrnet agent that works on my phone. use it all the time

ttorrent works for me on BAMF 1.6.3

this is what i do as well, it works really well for adding torrents to deluge on my vps. as far as using a torrent client on your phone that downloads directly to your phone, i would not do that personally unless you are using a public tracker like thepiratebay since any reputable tracker is most likely not going to allow a tracker from the android market. i tried andtorrent or something similar just to see if it would work on one of my private trackers and i was immediately banned from the site for using an unapproved client.

I really wish people would quit getting all bent out of shape about torrents. Not every torrent is something illegal. However, it makes it easy to see who has ever downloaded a linux distro by how much they think torrents are bad (hint: is a primary way to download most linux distros).
If the apps arent working already made, just compile one using android NDK (native development kit) (provided by google if you search) or try something like http://inportb.com/2010/10/17/debian-packages-on-android-phones/. The later lets you port debian arm packages to your phone for use and debian includes the biggest command line torrent software out there, rtorrent. For a cli app, rtorrent is very easy to use and you can just let it run in the background without the fear of it hogging your system like some gui apps might. Only downside with using debian packages is they're probably not going to use the same libc built into android, which runs faster, but oh well, shouldnt make a huge difference.

I liked swarm but I have had the best luck with andtor.

I did not see a Xoom there, but a Galaxy tab email apk. It looks great but I get a network error when it tries to download recent emails.

I personally like Enhanced EMail. I use it for work (Exchange 2007 Server w/Activesync) and a Yahoo account on a normal basis. It works pretty well. I also like the fact that It uses the native calendar and contacts list in the OS and doesn't have to install its own apps to provided that functionality. It cost me 10$, but it was half the price of the bloatware they call Touchdown and works better.

Check your pm.... ozone
