I am trying to run a 3 (UK) MSN/Live Messenger on my official O2 WM6.1 Kaiser. (The reason for trying is that with 3 (UK) the operator, your MSN messages doesn't count towards your data traffic; also I would like to experiment its battery drain compare to other MSN clients).
If I just log in Planet 3 (UK) (the 3 portal site), it wouldn't let me download its Live messenger client as my phone is not a compatible one. I changed my user agent string to SEW910i and downloaded the .jad file for W910i. I then removed the certificate portions (the last 2 lines) in the .jad file so that it can install on my Kaiser. It works but sometime the display is not quite way, but more importantly, only vibrate alert is possible but setting to Loud or Soft alert would still result in vibration only. I then modified the .jad file again so that instead of referencing the mp3 files from the 3UK website, it point to the local version (which I downloaded and place in the same directory as the .jad and .jar files) as:
AlertToneContact: online.mp3
AlertToneMsg: newmsg.mp3
However, it still doesn't work :-(
Is there anything I have missed?
May be I should have used the N95's version? Has anyone tried that before? Are they different? And what would be the best version?
Thanks!
SMS push on 3 Live Messenger
Also, one of the feature of the 3 (UK) MSN messenger which I Have tried on my other symbian phone is that even if the client is closed (not minimized), it can still be re-activated/re-launched automatically when new MSN messenges arrive (by listening to special SMS messages form the operator (3 UK)), if one didn't choose to sign out form the MSN server.
I notice in the .jad file there is such a line:
MIDlet-Push-1: sms://:3716, ui.Main, *
Is this a Symbian's Java virtual machine feature? Or is it a general java virtual machine feature?

can i have the oridginal file you had?
Any progress on this?
Im trying to get it to work in Australia, but the 3 MSN java app is running but i cant see it at all.
I've tried the same app and found it very flaky
I have another slight problem, can I ask you to check - I can only login to MSN on 3 if I have a 3g connection.
Where we live the 3g connection is flaky and it refuses to login to MSN on GPRS :-(
Skype wise it works fine (they offer free skype-skype too) don't use their java client, look on this site for instructions how to configure the PPC / Wmobile iSkoot Client :0 tested and it's not used any data allowance.
Thanks,
I already have skoot running using my skype call allowance.
My Kaiser already has Live Messenger, but not the unlimited one.
Was trying to get it running as a pet project.
I have just switched to Three UK PAYG and have been searching around a bit. I am running a WM6.1 ROM on a Hermes.
So far I have managed to:
1) Use HTC Connection Wizard (downloaded via CRC's Device Update) to set up the internet and MMS settings.
2) Run the 'Identify as N95 (WM6.1).cab' (thanks to sub69 in this thread. 6.0 and 6.5 versions can also be found there.)
This allows me to access the My3 pages at http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/HutchKey
3) Install the 3 Live Messenger Java client. I am using the version 4.5, not the latest V5. Credits for modifying this go to therafiman at MoDaCo.
This is working with Esmertec Jbed, and is working for free as it is meant to.
'Windows_Live Messenger.zip' contains the .jad and .jar files, and only seems to work if both are copied to the phone and the .jad file is run.
The Java client is far inferior to the normal Windows Mobile Live client, but the normal client is not free to run. Additionally I have been unable to log on using the normal client over 3g. If I log on while connected to activesync or wifi then I can switch to 3g and keep it running, but this will be charging you.
I haven't looked at skype yet, because no one I regularly call uses it. However I have found these instructions which look promising despite the dodgy numbering system:
1) First you need to download the Iskoot version of Skype from www.iskoot.com. You'll need to enter your name & mobile number and select your phone type.
2) Once downloaded, install ISkoot on your windows mobile
3) Start up Iskoot but don't log in yet.
4) Exit Iskoot
3) Use a registry editor to change the following keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE to "http://mobile.three.co.uk/948"
BackupHost
CallUrl
DefaultSkHost
Pushhost (only if it exists)
4) Exit the registry editor and start Iskoot again. This time log in (mine logged in immediately - some people say their first log-in takes a few minutes).
5) That's it!. You can verify if things have worked by examining registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\Cal lNumber. If ok, this should have been updated to either "123" on your first log-in, then to a number beginning +44783833...
Once you've made a few skype calls you should see that your credit / call-time balance / data allowance does NOT decrease.

If anyone has any luck getting the V5 Java Live Messenger client running on windows mobile then please post, or even better would be configuring the normal live client to use 3's free service.
EDIT
I'm attaching the WLM V5 .jad and .jar files.
These are unmodified, and downloaded using the N95 user agent in the previous post. Maybe someone knows what they are doing to modify the .jad and get it working.

Is it the Iskoot for Android your after?
if so: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538306
My post has an Alpha/Beta that needs testing for Android.
upon request it was re-instated, there is an official version out there but i didnt get it to work properly, so i grabbed the original Iskoot for Android (non 3 version) and modified it slightly to incorporate the 3 uk settings
JavaAuthorizer
An excellent application if you don’t want to keep saying “Yes, allow NET access”
Thanks to the people who provided this.

Hi, can I somehow set ebuddy to the same settings and use it for free like windows live on 3 network?

I got mine from the marketplace, you might try this...
http://www.iskoot.com/register.php?device=NoDevice
--M
ANy Screen shoot will be appreciated
iSkoot is a JAVA based Software or Native Android Application
Make sure you really need iskoot. It uses plan minutes by redirecting through a local phone number (ie, it uses your minute bucket). It's not the VOIP app that people think it is. It's a decent workaround for people with lots of minutes who use skype contacts regularly, though.
The local number thing may be why it wasn't included in the non-US marketplace, as it might not be configured for the UK yet. Stringing together hearsay from other forums, so I may be wrong.
I personally want iSkoot to be able to chat to my Skype contacts rather than call them.
So can anyone provide .apk for it? As it seems there's no way to get it for UK users.
Impossible to find
I tryied over the internet and even in my Android Market I cannot find iSkoot. Can someone please upload the native app for android?
An FYI, but I'm a UK T-Mobile customer currently in the US on an extended vacation.
I bought an unlocked US G1 on Ebay and put my UK T-Mobile SIM in it. Everything worked fine, except I too could not see iSkoot in the marketplace. I'm not data roaming, so I've been accessing the internet over WiFi.
When I got the phone, it came with a US T-Mobile SIM - I put this in the phone and even though the SIM is not connected to a plan, I could then see and download iSkoot from Marketplace over WiFi. In addition, when I replaced the UK SIM in the device and tried to use iSkoot, it worked - it even tried to dial a UK access number which is how I guess iSkoot uses plan minutes.
Therefore, it seems likely that Marketplace can "detect" your region from your SIM card and apply restrictions based on that.
I suggest that getting hold of one of these:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/Detail.aspx?class=prepaid&device=53299206-c069-429a-82fa-000007a2ac12
Might allow non-US users to have less restricted access to the Marketplace over WiFi.
Regards,
Dave

Looks like it's free software, that requires registration to work, so i don't see the harm in uploading the files. If someone knows of it being against the wishes of the software developer then just PM me. Thanks for checking.
can't sign in
does anyone else (in the US) have this problem?
i'm getting:
ERROR
You're already signed on in a different mobile device
i'm obviously not - anyone else saw this?
thanks,
E.
Try to push several time space on your keyboard during the signing.
Anyone can help me to change inside the apk file the defaultSkypeHost=http://gw1.iskoot.com into defaultSkypeHost=http://skype.tre.it/p-iskoot ?
In this way i can use the Xseries minutes included in my H3g plan....
Thx for any help.
I'm looking to do the same when I get the time.
I think I found the line you're looking for in the res\raw\startup.properties file of the apk
You can view or extract the apk file using winrar or z-zip.
I used Microsoft office to view the file so I guess you could edit it.
You might have to resign the apk if you're successful with the editing it so check out the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007
Let me know how it goes?
Update:
Haven't yet tested to see if iskoot is using my 6000 free skype mins or not but my mod and install seemed to work. Give it a go and let me know if it works for you.
Steps:
Download the iskoot.apk from xda-dev
use winrar or 7-zip to extract the contents
use microsoft office word to edit the res\raw\startup.properties file of the apk
to replace the existing strings from
defaultSkypeHost=http://gw1.iskoot.com
backupHost=isk-bos-app2.iskoot.com
baseUrl=isk-bos-app2.iskoot.com
to the relevant ones, which can be found here
http://pastebin.com/f483b9120
for uk I amended them to
defaultSkypeHost=http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
backupHost=http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
baseUrl=http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
save as the original filetype if asked/prompted
Open the orginal iskoot.apk (not the extracted one) and delete the original startup.properties file then drop the modified one into its place
Delete the META-INF folder from the iskoot.apk before closing and saving
Download the autosign app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007 and extract it
place your customised iskoot.apk into the auto-sign folder and run the .bat file. If you run into problems it might be because you have to change your windows folder options and untick "hide extensions for known filetypes" in the view tab (in windows xp). Then you can rename the file from .zip to .apk and the signing process should work.
Transfer the file to your Magic or G1 and install (I used astro filemanager and made sure I allowed the install non-market applications option)
I entered my skype settings into the phone and rebooted for good measure. Note it doesn't work over wifi so make sure that's off.
Test call worked a treat and a look at the call log showed an outgoing local number was used.
Just need to check my monthly bill now!?
I tried to change res\raw\startup.properties file of the apk but when i make a call trough iskoot i see that the number called is not the Xseries number but the generical iskoot local number for my nation.
I don't know if this happen because I first installed a normal iskott version then I uninstalled it and reinstalled the modified version.
Any other feedback?
Thx in advance.
Nice
I was one of few beta testers of this kind of app (made by Skype genuinely) for S40 phones (I had SE K750i) and it is very useful if you do not have an endless data plan want to get a hold on someone outside your country. Even if he/she is not in skype and is using an ordinary cellphone it still comes cheaper I think (the local call fee+skypeout credit)

I can confirm that doing this hack in the UK, does not make iskoot use the x-series number. I have been charged for my skype-to-skype calls.
Upon further investigation I have determined that it is dialing the wrong number. The number dialed was 442070431521, whereas the number that should be dialed is 447838333878. I cannot, however, find a way to make iskoot dial the desired number. Any thoughts?
don't have a dream but on my italian diamond i just changed the registry
CallNumber= ...........
with the number it's ment to call...so in my case +393933934446
Hi,
I'm wondering if I have the right number. You wouldn't happen to know where to look for these numbers, would you?
Gotta love it. Hulu on my Fuze, I don't think I'll ever get anything done. , it doesn't seem like the actual page resolution that skyfire downloads has changed though which sucks. but the menus etc. now completely function in both landscape and portrait.
Cheers,
Migsims
** EDIT ** Some people running the stock rom seem to be having issues installing this. I currently have - PROven ROM 1.03 20757 HD build - flashed on my Fuze and Skyfire is working great installed on my storage card. I'm not sure what the issue is.
http://get.skyfire.com
Version 0.85 of the Skyfire mobile browser is now available.
To get the latest version of Skyfire, point your phone's standard browser to http://get.skyfire.com and download the newest client. The site will detect the device and provide the appropriate installer.
Please note: if you are a current Symbian user you must uninstall the existing client on your phone first.
Release notes follow.
Skyfire 0.8.5 Release Notes
Released: November 21, 2008
Skyfire brings the PC internet experience to your mobile. Watch videos on YouTube or Hulu, connect with your friends on Myspace or Facebook, shop on Amazon, or listen to music. If you can experience it on your computer, you now can do it with Skyfire on the go.
Skyfire is fast, easy to use and available for free for many smart phone models.
Skyfire 0.8.5 Beta adds (standard) VGA support for Windows Mobile devices and brings the feature set for our Symbian client in line with Windows Mobile. Skyfire will continue to maintain both platforms in future releases.
We greatly appreciate your participation in our beta community. Your support and feedback on the forums at http://support.skyfire.com/forums/ helps us to constantly improve the product.
What’s new in 0.8.5 for both Windows Mobile and Symbian:
* Simple Download: This is big for us and we hope for you as well. Now, there is NO requirement anymore to register in order to download, access, and use Skyfire. With this release, downloading is as simple as pointing your existing mobile browser to http://get.skyfire.com. We detect the device and provide the installer for your phone.
* Optional Registration: Once downloaded and installed, you can use Skyfire right away. Browse away, create bookmarks, and check your history. Everything will work.
Why create an account? So you can retain Bookmarks and History in case you lose your phone or have to switch phones. Furthermore you can post and participate in the Skyfire user forums.
Already have an account? You can still access your existing account by simply logging in on your device. Or, create a new account. Or, migrate your account between phones. It’s now all done from your phone on the Skyfire start page.
* New UK Data Center: We are looking forward to providing better service for our UK based users and are currently building out a new data center. If you are in the UK you should automatically connect to the new data center and experience better performance. If you are not based in UK, then you will automatically connect to the US data center. Please bear with us as we work out some of the kinks – especially with account migration.
* Overall Improvements: Client and Server robustness, streaming performance, recovering from lost connections.
* Improved rendering of mobile pages: We better detect and render more mobile pages. The list continues to expand.
* Updated Skyfire User Portal: We continue to evolve our user portal and start page. Although some of it was already visible before 0.8.5, it is worth mentioning:
o Google Search & Search Results: It’s the best and the most used.
o Updated weather widget: Now supports Canada and UK postal codes, in addition to US.
o Region specific start page: Custom feeds and pre-populated bookmarks for US and UK.
What’s new in Windows Mobile 0.8.5 since Windows Mobile 0.8?
* Standard VGA support: We are excited to now provide VGA support for the number of new devices that recently entered the market, including the HTC Touch Diamond, Diamond Pro, HTC/ATT Fuze. Please note that we support Standard VGA support (e.g. 640x480). Widescreen WVGA (e.g. 800x480 etc) is NOT supported yet.

nice find!
cant wait to install it!

Didn't work for me ...
I dowloaded the cab from the 'get' link and when I tried to install it I got an error stating that "...The installation file is not intended for this device."
I used Skyfire on Tilt all the time so I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem on the Fuze. Must be doing something wrong ... ?

It's working fine on my Fuze, dunno what's up there. What version did you download?
It worked for me too. When I went to that website it said my device was a TouchDual, but it still worked and landscape works fine with our keyboard too.
I too got the same error. The link automatically sets version 7.9x. Maybe they will get it worked out. Also the user control has been moved to the mobile browser. And since some of use have moved on to the fuze we can't access the control panel to say change device.

The link defaulted to "Skyfire_7927-PPC50". There was no option to choose anything else. I not only tried the link from my phone but also got the same file when using the laptop.
I'll keep watching to see what might be the problem.

That's exactly the one I downloaded and installed and it's working fine, that's kind of strange.
i'd recommend just downloading the cab and copying it to your device if you're having problems

Did that and got same results, meaning "Unsuccessful" message.
*EDIT: Worked this time. Must have been me on the transfer from laptop. Got it working now, so thank you for the recommendation to try again.
copy it to my device, installed and had to soft reset to get it working. But it works very well. Now I have 3 browsers to choose from What is the down side to SkyFire?? Seems to do everything.
On the ATT Fuze I went to the site, it said I have an HTC phone so I click to download it didn't work. But if I selected This is not my phone, then went to WinMo 5 or 6 Touch it worked flawlessly :-D
i did the above and it worked, problem is the browser looks blurry... like a scaled up version of the qvga version... when it loads a page and th site takes up the screen you cant read any of te small text... opera is nice and crisp and clear...
ill try the other installation way when i get to my home computer to see what works there. I looked around in the settings but nothing is there as far as adjusting resolution or anything.
shade
i think all they did was make the menus and stuff vga for now and hopefully soon they will actually make the whole thing fully vga
hmm, that could be it... the address bar and stuff are all crisp and vga-ish...
can some more people who have this running give more feedback on this...
oh, and is there tabbed browsing on this browser at all? I cant seem to find it. for a browser that claims to do EVERYTHING, thats the one thing I am really looking for!

Its is def not as sharp as the Opera browser. I also noticed its alot slower now then in the locked betas :-( I guess because the server load is growing but I used to watch streaming video all the time.
yeah the problem is that any flash is streamed and compressed on their servers ala opera mobile.
It would be really nice if adobe finally got off their ass and made an updated full plugin on not this flash lite crap.
Well if definitely does not look as nice as Opera....and is there a way to make this work with TouchFlo3D?
Yeah, I had to download it, transfer it to my storage card then install it without issues.
I still get the half screen issues that I had with previous versions.
I am using aruppenthal's rom and is working great. I would like to have Cellular Video back and do not know how to go about getting it. I have searched the site for hourts looking for a AT&T keyboard fix cab that is supposed to re-map this link to cellular video. On the original factory rom media net had a link to CV on it's page (http://device.home) . There was also a program in programs for CV.
This is the file you're looking for.
Keyboard Fix cab results
Thanks for the link. I installed it but it still did not return any program icons or links in media net to CV. It's probably not one of those items that most people car about so much. I likeit because it had streamin videos daily for some msnbc political programs as well as CNN hourly updates. Can't get to these videos without it.
Hey everyone,
I just had problems with my G1 and had to get a new device. So far, so good. Problem is, I LOVE the nightclock 0.9.4 and searched the market and it is no longer up there.
I googled the heck out of it and found a few pages, including download.com, but everytime I go to "download" it it just sends me to a php page as download terminal. Tried downloading from my phone and it just opened a weird document.
Anyone has any insight on somewhere to get this or how to download this file? here's the link to download.com file:

It *might* not show up in your market because it hasn't been upgraded since 2008 and *may* not be in a good state for current versions of Android. Just a thought.
