anyone use the oz messenger cab?

anyone use this at all, from the time that i upgraded my rom, even when i first got my phone w/ the oem tilt rom, it has not worked. I changed the settings on my phone because initially the internet wasn't working, but not it works fine, i'm using palingro...but i at least want to try the oz because there are some things that bother me about it.
and by the way, i'm connecting using the att network, not wifi...as that is the first thing it says when its having trouble connecting. but honestly, no matter what i change in my phone, i'm still getting the "communication error. please try again or check your settings. IM is not supported over wi-fi connections" error.
any help/ideas?

gotten quite a few views, any input guys?

heya sim,
I use the OZ cab, both stock installed on the phone and installed with custom rom. I have experienced the situation you detail. It seems to happen when I close it down a way it didn't like or do something internet-wise with another program.
Fixing it usually only requires a quick turn off then turn on. It does get annoying sometimes when it happens.
Also I would like to add it doesn't seem very responsive as far as receiving messages goes either. Like sometimes I will get a message on my computer at roughly 12 in the afternoon and will not see it on the phone until after dinner. I have even had a couple experiences where I didn't receive messages until after the program had been restarted.
I will be trying another messaging program soon that doesn't use up messaging on my phone, this is part of what I believe makes it slow is the fact it uses messaging instead of internet.
any recommendations? / questions?

oh great...you mean to tell me that the oz messenger is sms based and not internet based? jeeze...i REALLY dont wanna pay for agile

yes this is what they told me at AT&T, There are a few out there that use internet via data connection (3g, hsdpa, etc.) agile being one of them...isnt it free tho? The same goes for Fring, and i believe IM+ you have to pay for but uses data connection aswell.

Yea, i use the OZ one, but only as a way of checking my current buddy lists in AIM and Yahoo. Its very unreliable for actually carrying a conversation. Also, its very clunky to use if you log into 2 or 3 messengers at once. One of the features about this phone that really made me want it (instant messaging on the go) has been pretty lackluster to me. I have yet to try any different messenger suites yet.

Ill let you both know for sure how the others work in comparison as I intend to try a couple other non sms bases ones

OZ messenger is LAME.. go to Palringo.com from your phone. Download it. Way better and its free push to talk built in.

you guys wont be disappointed with Palringo. You can have your AOL, Google Talk/Jabber, MSM messenger, yahoo. It signs in really quick about 2 seconds, gets all your friends, no drops in connection, Beautiful software and best of all its free.

mine ALWAYS drops my aim connection. i have no idea why. It keeps my google chat online constantly though, but not aim. anybody know of a sms based messenger for aim by any chance?

ok, i guess the problem w/ my messenger was the data package that i had with AT&T, now that i upgraded, i can sign on. only problem is, when i'm online...i'm not really online. it shows that all my buddys are off, when i check on another computer (different SN) if i'm on, its says i'm not. anyone know what the hell this is about? it seems like one problem after another w/ this....
plus i'm using the "OZ_Instant_Messanger_at_t_AKU_0.4.4" cab. thanx in advance

Agile
I have dumped Oz because it is slow to connect at times. At times it connects but it does not tell you so, that is you show up on a buddies computer but your phone still shows that it has not connected. Also, in this case if you quit the program, (stop it from memory) you are still logged on. Added to this is that you get charged for text messages!!
So, I have gone to Agile, which is data only. It connects fine too. It is pricey but it does the job. I am using it on a Treo 750. My service is At&T. It also does PTT etc.

AIM
The AIM client also uses data only and not SMS. So if you do not need the other message servers like Yahoo or MSN or Google etc. then AIM might be a good option. You can find it on this forum.

I had been using the OZ client on a trip earlier this month for the first time - did not care for the SMS integration of it at all. Every time a reply would come in you'd get a system SMS message. I've just installed the Palringo client listed above and it seems to work very well. Thanks for the heads up.

I use slick it's easy and free

yea wish i had read this thread prior to sending those 100 sms messeages at .15 cents each. Wait employee discount! oh **** not for sms. hahaha
gdit at&t!!
gonna check out one of these two you guys mentioned, that oz one does suck
and i have unimited data only.

I really wish I read this before paying for IM+. I like their service but have had a lot of problems lately when I flash roms constantly. Crap like always having to put in my resistration and then saying that my registration number is being used. I would understand if I stole the software but I paid good money for it.
I tried aglie and really like the GUI, but I'm not in the mood to spend that much money for another program.
I just downloaded palringo and from first impression really like it. The only thing I don't like is that it won't keep my always connected. Battery isn't an issue and neither is data.

I hear that. Im waiting and watching for something better.
BTW super rocks!

How about Fring?

I've had great luck with fring... Use it and if you twitter it has a built in twitter interface that's outside of the normal IM integration, it's pretty slick.

[APP] Seven - very fast e-mail pushing service

So i was just introduced to this program the other day. It works great, i get my e-mails on my phone just a few seconds later. It doesn't seem to lower my battery life much at all, and it was very easy to setup.
http://community.seven.com/main.php
register and download the beta. I've been using this for about 3 days and i've gotten about 50 e-mails through this service and i always check the times and it's never more than a minute later.
I would like to get a consensus about how well this works for others. I'm using Gmail and it forwards very fast.
UPDATE: Just wanted to add, do not install this if you have XpressMail installed on your device as they use some of the same files they both will become unusable.

before i try
how does it work?
is it constantly connected to data? or does it send as a text or what?

i knew i forgot something, i've got my Touch pro on a constant Edge connection with constant data enabled. I'm not 100% positive the data connection is needed but i think you do. Other Idle Imap apps, i've tried needed constant connection.

I've been using this for a while now and it does require a constant connection, but it is a lot less power hungry than other push solutions or even the native POP / IMAP connections. Seven basically creates e-mail accounts within the native messaging application, so there's no need to have an additional application. It allows you to setup multiple e-mail accounts to be pushed, including Google Apps.
And for those of us that change roms regularly, Seven saves your account information (sans passwords) so that you don't have to start from scratch everytime you flash a new rom.
One thing to note is that Seven is essentially in permanent beta, so there will be times when it goes down for upgrades, maintenance or bugs. But that doesn't happen very often and they are usually pretty good about communicating what is going on and when to expect a solution.

Been using this for a year and it's the best! Woohoo! I love this!

I tried emoze, pushconsilient, and web2mail. I like "SEVEN" out of all of them. I get my email on my phone before my outlook does on my pc.

Thanks!!
It's really COOL and i can now check the gmail and even the company mail (OWA)!
Very nice!!

does it do "better"then Emoze?
I use Emoze now for a year and i have no problem.
Does it use less more power?

i've just tested, but i like Emoze more then Seven.
Emoze connects een fast as seven, but now i get also mine appointpents ect. synced.
So i keep it with emoze.

Seven is the dev company that supplies AT&T with Good Mobile Messaging and such. They sell the product (serverside) to the Cell carriers, who inturn rebrand it and "sell/offer" the service to the carrier's susbcribers.
I have been using it for 3 years for multiple accounts... no more desktop redirectors.
It currently uses a data connection, but in the future it will work via SMS triggers

gr8 share thank you

A few days ago, I started using it for both my Gmail and my company mail (via OWA).
At first, it took a few minutes for new mail to show up in either. Now, I'm finding that new messages in my gmail are showing up almost instantly (under a minute at least), but work messages are taking between 5-15 minutes (I can confirm via the desktop that they are indeed in the inbox).
Anyone else see this sort of delay?

is this based on Exchange 2007 aka HTML emails? Doesn't seem to let me into the FAQ's before creating an account...

I use this service and i love it.

i'm glad to see so many people who support and use this App, and those of you who don't use it i recommend it.

I tried it for 2 days, I love it... However, since it used data constantsly, it heats up my device badly... so I uninstalled it.
Thanks for the share thou.

goes this get around the gmail issue where sent messages also appear as new unread emails?

Seven does not have this problem. Additionally, the sent messages get saved in your sent folder on gmail.

Do you keep HSDPA going? I keep it on an EDGE connection and i don't get much heat at all.

It's a shakey time for anyone who sees this thread to try it out, though. They did some sort of heavy maintenance Monday, and although their status updates say everything's back, I'm not sure it is. I'm seeing big delays in getting my gmail via imap through them. I suspect it will be worked out soon, though.

Exchange Sync issues with XWJM8

Hello All!!
I am using XWJM8 in my Samsung Galaxy S (international edition). For the last couple of days i am facing a weird problem. My Exchange sync stops in the middle of the day. If i try to re-sync it says unable to open connection with server. two days back i was in XXJPK, with One click lag fix by Ryan ZA. Everything was fine and was syncing fine with office's exchange server with Touchdown exchange (as it has Global contact search option). But syncing stopped around 1600 hrs (local time). I tried with recreating my account but it rejected all my sync and authentication request. Then i flashed back to XWJM8 with Voodoo lagfix beta 4.2. Even then i could not create my exchange account with Touchdown, but had good luck with native mail client (Corporate mail account). Everything was find up tilll now.
Suddenly i see in my phone last mail i got was at 1315 hrs (local time) but in my laptop i see mail till 1615 hrs... very depressing.
Can anybody help me out please? i love my phone and android but exchange is really important to me. so if anybody can help me with this i would grateful!!
Thanks.

Thread moved to Q&A.

Exchange read-unread issue on stock ICS

Hi all,
New here and upgraded from a Meizu MX (dual core) to the Note. However, I'm still using Jack Wong's phone rather than the Sammy.
Why? Because I'm having problems with corporate email sync. (exchange server 2003)
Emails I read on the Note keep showing up as unread on my PC and exchange web access.
However, when I mark the read emails as unread on the Note again and then mark them as read, their status WILL change on my PC.
The Meizu (still on GB) does not have any of these issues and syncs perfectly ok.
I've had a chat with the Samsung helpdesk, which did not bring any relief. In short, their customer service agent kept telling me that the problem was in the exchange server and not in the note. No matter what I told him. In the end they just hung up...
This very issue really kees me from using the note the way I want it. Did anyone have this issue before?
What kind of solution did you find?
Cheers, J.

I have the same problem.
Didn't have the problem with GB.
Have read this same question/problem question on a few forums with no answers or no/few responses.
Just tried your read/unread 'trick'...didn't work on mine.
Still show over 500 unread emails & I have read them all.

Moxier mail does the trick, but for all kind of reasons, I don't like it.
THis is pretty annoying: According to Samsung, the problem originates from mail-server settings.
But with the very same phone and another mail app (Moxier) it does work.
C'mon Samsung!

SOLVED
Today I could not resist anymore and installed the latest XXLRQ. (with PC Odin.) Previously I was on Hong Kong 4.04.
Guess what: Even without factory reset it's working correctly immediately.
So after all this was a bug (although Samsung never confessed it was) and they actively solved it.
Now I'm a really happy note user.
Cheers,
JP

Email , and Sony PC companion issue

Hey
So i just bought my first android phone after my last bb died on me, and overall im loving the droid OS
my phone is a sony xperia Z and im running jellybean 4.1.2
Now im having two major issues that are a big deal to me
First off, ive managed to sync my gmail and hotmail with no problems, intially i tried setting up the hotmail as a pop3, but that wasnt working well, so i set it up as an Exchange and its works beautifully. My issue is my work email, which is hosted by ipage.com, i tried setting up as a pop3, i even upgraded my package to an Exchange email, and i tried setting it up as an exchange, but i still dont recieve any messages. The same email address that is on my outlook (as pop3) works fine, but for some reason on the android i cant recieve any emails ( i can send emails from my phone just fine). Ive contacted ipage.com but they dont seem to know what the issue and keep telling me to contact the phone vendor. I havnt done that yet. This is a major issue as I use my phone for work alot.
Second issue im facing, is that the sony PC companion sucks balls, every time i install the prog, and conect the device, the program deostn register my phone and keeps giving me "reconnect ur phone, make sure ur sim and phone are not locked" msg. at home on my mac i used the android file transfer prog and that one works no problems.
Doesnt anyone have any advice on how i can fix either of these isues?

Try another USB port, for the 2nd issue.
