Is it me or does the OZ IM client that comes with the AT&T Tilt not work right when you talk to other people?
My friend has the real AIM client on his Mogul and I tried to chat with him via OZ IM and all he sees is blank messages.
I tried Agile and it works great. I have to buy it though, so...I tried the AIM client (from the UK site) and it works too, but it's crap because the notifications are bad and it seems like an old program.
Any ideas?
its bc Oz IM uses text messaging instead of data and the mobile version of aim doesnt support text messaging.
Which IM service you using? MSN, AIM? I don't use AIM or Yahoo, but I do use MSN form time to time. Windows Live works just fine for that, and uses data, not SMS.
I wanted to use AIM. I have an unlimited data plan and that's the reason I wanted to use data instead of SMS. Any way to make this client work? Don't want to buy Agile.

Yup, dont use the OZ client. Download Palringo or Octrotalk.. Both free. both will work with AIM and all the other clients and use data.

Thanks. I gave the Palgrino app a try, which one do you recommend?
Works!!
Palgrino is working for me. its quick and stays connected even when minimized.
I use Slick. It works really well and uses data.
Hi:
Do any of these have smilies?
I just installed Palringo, and it looks very nice, but no smilies.
Thanks!
PS: I don't mind paying for it, if it has a nice enough interface, and smilies. Palringo looks amazing, it's exactly what I am looking for except for the smilies.
Beejive had it on my blackberry untill i got the tilt. works like a charm for me and it shows notifications and smilies and supports all clients

The problem in my eyes with the applications that use DATA connections instead of SMS, is that while logged in, now my Tilt has to maintain a live data connection with the network.
What I like about an SMS version is that no matter where I am, 3G, Edge, it just works over SMS. True it's not as "responsive" as a data connection, but it's mobile IM. What do you expect?
On that note, since I'm running aftermarket cooked ROM, does anyone have the OZ IM client that the tilt shipped with available?
can someone post the aol instant messanger cab from the att tilt ext rom or from anywhere else for that matter. thanks
Lol... I am trying to figure out how to get the Tilt AIM back too after cutting out the AT&T installed apps.
try this one http://rapidshare.com/files/73072488/aim_2.0_for_PPC_by_aagung.rar.html
Original AIM. MSN, Yahoo Cab from ATT?
Anyone have the cab that can install the original chat features from the ATT version of the tilt?

Do you mean the OZ app? You can download that off medianet.
How can I connect to these built-in messengers using wifi instead of data connection?
its in the Kaiser Cab collection fount here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
its the OZ_Instant_messenger plugin on this page: http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/index.php?path=Kaiser+Cab+Collections/
and to save time i attached the cab
EDIT:
raca in the CommManager turn on the wifi if you already havent, then go into settings > connections > wifi and add your stuff in there
does anybody know if this app uses txt messages or data?
I can't say for certain, but the TMobile MDA has a similar app by the same name, and that one uses sms.....
The AT&T app uses SMS messages.
If you're looking for one that uses 3G or WiFi, you will need to shell out some $$ for Agile Messenger or another similar program.
about tmobile aim oz working with tilt as txt msging
just incase if anyone was wondering about tmobile & this (i tried this forever) It doesn't work. I tried all of the cabs. I spoke to someone who worked at a store and they said as soon as my phone was unlocked, oz messenger aim will not work anymore... (used to have a tmo dash and my aim really did stop working after unlocking it) it would be awesome if someone could figure this one out..
I use agilemobile for AIM, ICQ, Google-chat and more.
Pretty impressive BTW
I was thinking that perhaps the problem is that I have the cingular hidden proxy disable. Can anyone comment on this? You can just put a proxy into the settings of AIM alone, but I'm not sure what to enter. If someone can let me know, I'd appreciate it, and will test it.
OZ messenger sucks I think. I use Palringo and it's free.
OZ uses SMS so for everyone "HI how you doing buddy" you send you use one text message.
To my knowledge and looking at my bill Palringo uses data and not sms.
use aim 2.0

Your right, palringo uses data. But it still has major flaws. If you log in more than 5 or 6 times in a row it doesn't allow you to log back in again. Which is really stupid, because why would I be AIM/Yahoo/whatever if no one is online? So I sign off.
Idk, I still use it but it sucks.
I use OctroTalk works fine for me
free all in one IM client has AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, and Google talk

i tried this cab a while back and it didnt work
i still can not IM
well i talked to a few att reps about this and have gotten different answers from all 4 them. 2 say that in order to use the oz IM client you need a data plan because it connects to media.net to sign on. the other 2 say its billed as sms. this is also what is says on their website also https://www.wireless.att.com/support/knowledgeBase.do?content=KB84620.html . so thought you guys might know for sure whether using this client is billed as data, sms, or both. this would probably also answer my question for sending MMS if its just charged as data, a message, or both since it connects to media.net to send. thanks.
device is an att tilt with stock att rom
it connects to media net to signon, but when you are chatting and sending msgs back and forth that is SMS not data. on your bill it will show up as "ICQ IM" under TYPE, and your number under FROM.

so even while signed on and connected to media net i wont incur data charges? just sms charges for sending and receiving messages right? thanks for the help so far.
it counts as sms... not data
Another quick question - I am running one of Dutty's roms and I noticed whenever my phone is connected as a 3G I cannot sign on using the OZ IM client.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
Mine uses the data to connect and get my buddy lists, but then each line I type is counted as one SMS, and each line I receive is counted as another SMS. It does not show up on my bill is ICQ though, but IMSMS or something along those lines. So I've seen on my bill the data connect AND the SMS for OZ IM. I am certainly looking for another IM client! I used to use Agile Messenger, but they charge an annual subscription. There HAS to be a better option! Anyone have any ideas for a decent, data only, IM client?

thats exactly what i wanted to find out! thanks. so just to clarify you are billed data and sms correct?
Use MSN Live
You can install MSN live cab availible around. It will use MSN messanger and it go over internet connection, no per SMS charges. Additional benefit pushmail connection to people using hotail or msn hosted accounts. Just change in option sync type from manual to when item arrived.

I use Fring or Palringo, both are free and will work for MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo, etc. The main difference between the two IM programs is that Fring also does VOIP calling through Skype. They both work on data, not SMS.
G'day champs!
I signed up for the x-series pack... wondering if anyone knows how to get the three services such as windows live msn etc etc... everytime I try, it gives me an error message
"Sorry, Windows Live Messenger isn't available on your mobile"
"To find out about upgrading your mobile, please call 3 Customer Care on 133 320"
Alternative: Install the actual windows live messenger app from msn website. With this option, I wonder if the data usage be counted towards my allowance?
Thanks
You won't be able to download 3's MSN messenger. You would need additional site certificates to be able to use them. These certificates are only included with 3 branded phones.
Just use your own client and use data. Yes it will be counted towards your usage, but it won't be that much..it's only text afterall. Be sure to monitor your usage from My3 and/or use the bundled GPRS monitor from the HTC cd.
I use the official msn version from MS, it doesn't use much data at all.
Also on the X-Series plan, but it does count towards your data as it's not the "3" client.
Thanks for the replies guys... Appreciated
While I am at it... I shall ask another question...
Windows Live Messenger adds all my msn messenger contacts to the contacts on my phone... now my contacts (phone book) is messed up with like 100s of email contacts...
Is it possible to change the settings so that msn messenger does not save the email addresses in my contacts list?
Does anyone know if you have to use the OZ_IM client that is installed in the AT&T ROM for the Tilt to have your IM's count towards text messages and not data?
I don't have/want a data plan on my Tilt yet, and I stopped the AT&T software from installing after upgrading my ROM. Does anyone know if I can just install any MSN/AIM/Yahoo client and not be charged data, or do I have to have the client AT&T released?
Thanks.
Try Palringo for IM. I have been using since last an year and working perfectly.... And its free... www.palringo.com
