Instant Messaging Client

To be honest, the only two IM clients for the AT&T Fuze I've experienced so far is the one included with the stock firmware, and Slick. I prefer the stock firmware more. Does anyone have this app extracted? Or is there a better one they can recommend?

If you have a data plan (which you should if you have a Fuze), two free IM clients you can use are Palringo and BeeJive (right-click & Save Target as on those hyperlinks).
If you REALLY want that "OzIM" I think it is, I might have it floating around to post for you (actually, I have an AT&T ROM floating around I can yank it from). But I'd recommend looking into other solutions, personally (because doesn't the stock solution use SMS to deliver messages?).

I knew that people could message you if you binded your AIM/MSN account to your mobile phone. That's just not good enough to me, though, because I'd have to wait for someone to contact me in order for me to get a hold of them. If there's an SMS-based solution that can fetch your buddy list and act as an IM Client, sure! I'll go for it. I didn't think there was an SMS-Based solution other than binding your account. That would be good for me since I have unlimited texting enabled.
Thank you so much for your help so far. I really appreciate it .

OZim is weak in my opinion. It uses TEXT messages instead of the network traffic.
IM+ is the bomb. I spend a lot of time messaging and all of the other clients seem lackluster.
Give it a trial whirl.

I have to agree w/Thresher. SMS based IM solutions (to me, anyway) just waste my Text Message allowance. But if your data plan is limited, I guess that may be a better option for you. I have unlimited Data, personally, so I try to use as much data as humanly possible .

Oh? I had no idea AT&T had unlimited data plans. I have unlimited texting, but limited data. I wonder if I could have unlimited texting with unlimited data... hmmmm... Do you know how much does having an unlimited data plan cost? I could probably talk my mom into adding it into the family plan since my brother, sister, and I all have smartphones.

Looks like unlimited data is $30/month, and unlimited data + unlimited messaging is $50/month.

I agree IM+ is the best solution. My only issue with them right now is when will they add FaceBook IM as one of the options. I think they have it on the BlackBerry client, but haven't seen it on the WM client yet.

Palringo has FacebookIM if you haven't tried it.
Also, you can probably stick your SIM in a dumphone for a couple days, and either go to a corporate store or go into the OLAM and add the unlimited media net internet (I'm not sure about the price now but I pay $15 a month). After it kicks in just stick the SIM back into the Fuze and everything will work fine.

Ive been using IM+ for the last 3 yrs. Wouldnt trade it for any other IM client
Beejive is a close free alternative , but still nowhere near as clean. Well worth the few dollars ! ( plus you can transfer the same license to another devce when you but a new one and also IM+ has free upgrades to new software versions! )

Hey, nhvoltage, what is that picture of the HTC mini phone on your skinzone site?

Even if you do have unlimited texting I feel that OZim is more prone to problems as a result. For instance; I was having a problem with mine, uninstalled it but then began receiving tens and eventually hundreds of texts relating to OZim and logging into/out of a service. It was kind of nutty. Had to reinstall, relog in and make sure I was logged out officially before I uninstalled.
I'm not trying to bang on OZ, it actually did work pretty well when it was working.
I had problems with some services understanding who it should display as my friends. I had to put all of my IM contacts into a creatd MOBILE category in order for them to show.

Rate limiting in the Revolution??

My 4G hits 20 Mbps constantly. I would hate to tether to my PC and hit my data limit in 20 minutes.
Does anyone know if the LG Revolution can be configured to rate limit the download or upload connections? This way I can make sure that I'm not over using it?
If nobody is doing this I will see if I can program it, my skills are a bit rusty though.

I'm not sure what you are saying, but just because speedtest shows 20mb/s doesn't mean you are actually doing that while tethered to a computer. The only way is if you are streaming high def movies our downloading heavy files. To keep an eye on data usage you can use the My Verizon app.

For example, I turn on the tether and let a friend and his laptop connect. If he had bittorrent running he could easily max out my usage in less than 1 hour under ideal circumstances.
Currently I don't know of a way to prevent this, trusting my friend may be a mistake. If I had controls on bandwidth and even firewall out some ports/protocols like bittorrent then I wouldn't have to worry at all.

Tell your friend to get his own Internet.... Just sayin... Lol problem solved!

Bittorrent and a limited data plan don't go together. And yes, your friend could eat up your usage real fast and cause you overage charges.

Doing this very easily could require Kernel support. Linux obviously supports this ability but is it built into the linux Kernel for Android?

this makes no sense, why would you use a limited data plan and plan on letting people use your phone like this? Wifi tether has a built in log that shows data usage while using tether.

Plus the upload size limit is terrible! Something like you can only upload 100mb files!

There aren't many providers who offer large amounts of storage for free. I for one don't mind the upload limit.
Been using box for about 3 months now and I've had no issues with it. It has a decent android app too.
Plus, Titanium Backup Pro syncs directly to Box. Good way to keep a backup of your apps (Which don't usually exceed 100mb)

Nice find tho, I had no idea.

I already have 50 free gigs from an Android promotion awhile ago. So it would be pretty sweet if I had the Nexus 4, so I could attempt to see if they would upgrade my account to 100gigs

A "friend of mine" did this on an LG display phone in a carrier store and it worked in upgrading his account no matter what phone he used. Login once from am LG phone and the 50GBs are yours. This of course was over a year ago. They could have fixed that by now.

At the end of the day he had used 100MB, I had used 873MB!! (reported as being used just by Gmusic). Both phones are on the same account so I login to AT&T to check data usage thinking it had to be a flaw. Nope I've used .9gb his phone says .1gb. WTF?
I still haven't figured it out and have used most of my 3GB in one weekend. Suckage.

I've had similar things happen with a couple of HTC's, not Ones. I only worked out how to stop through trail and error and I still don't understand why it happened. What I discovered was that the Mail accounts were constantly eating into my data (140Mb + one day but only 3 short emails actually received into the mailbox). The way I resolved it was to delete the Mail accounts (POP or IMAP, whatever) and then add it as new. This seemed to solve the problem. Never worked out why it was doing it in the first place mind.
The OP says its Android OS, which it could be. But there would be no harm in trying to disable/change apps and accounts to see if makes a difference. And if not methodically you should be any to ID the problem. Fingers crossed.

Hotspot not so unlimited with root. - T-Mobile USA LTE

Got cut off today while finishing the Dragon Ball series. I have LTE enabled and was streaming with it. I still love t-mo though, coming from Sprint their speeds are to die for.
Didn't see a thread about this.
Edit: not to say they ever implied it was unlimited in the first place, but it would seem so with root.

Unlimited 4G with 500MB hotspot. Took Sprint 2.5 years to catch me tethering without paying with hot spot hack on sph-d700 (epic 4g)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Well the hotspot of all their plans it technically only 500mb then you have to pay an extra $10 for another 1gb. Using data on the phone is unlimited. They probably saw your user agent string and noticed it was for a computer rather than your phone. Still you got a lot more than 500mb of hotspot out of it, so not too bad a deal.
Edit: beat me to it
They probably noticed quickly because it was so much data in a short period of time. If you spread out the tethering more (maybe less video), they probably wouldn't notice. I'm on the $30 prepaid plan and tether around 5gb a month but I spread it out over a couple days (maybe 500-2gb a day) and haven't been caught yet.

Yeah you can spoof it by changing your browser setting. Depending on your browser you can look it up: http://www.howtogeek.com/113439/how...user-agent-without-installing-any-extensions/
It's a feature built into basically all browsers.
It decreases your chances of being detected but it really depends on how tmobile detects tethering. The user agent way is the simpliest and quickest but they can also do it by TTL (time to live) of the packets your computer requests as you for example watch videos or browse. They can also detect it other ways but those are 2 of the more common ones.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734138 Post 8 explains the TTL method a bit more
Basically changing your user agent is the quickest method that my help a bit (depending on if they favor that detection method). Using a vpn on your computer might further and better prevent detection. (I've never tried this myself but in theory it might help more than a simple user agent change. You can find guides of other methods people use to try and get around it. I haven't heavily investigated any other methods aside from the vpn and user agent since I've never been cut off so I don't really know of of any specific ones.
I personally think the thing that really tips them off is a huge spike in usage for a short time period.
If you tether over bluetooth or USB, you basically never get caught in my experience as well as several others I know who do the same. So I would try that. It's a bit slower but not bad.
I'd suggest bluetooth or usb tethering next time and see if that prolongs your hotspot usage. But as I mentioned, I really think it is the massive usage spike in a short time that tips them off so you may still get caught. When I use bluetooth and usb tethering, I still try not to go to heavy on usage over short periods.
I suspect that the TTL method may be more commonly used since it's not easily avoidable so you are best off slowing your usage when you are tethered. It would be very easy for them to see a spike in usage and check the TTL of your packets, realize you're tethering, then cut it off. It's more reliable than user agents.

Lol no problem, glad it works for you now. :highfive: Yeah that is the downside I forgot to mention. You can try to fix that problem by experimenting with making your browser look like other desktop browsers (for example maybe tmobile doesn't block some of the more obscure desktop browsers like opera etc.) or copying your phone's desktop style user agent in chrome. That might result in desktop style pages but tmobile will think you are a phone requesting desktop. (the user agent actually shows your operating system too so if you spoof that part to android you should be able to get desktop style while still staying hidden) You'd have to look up the android chrome desktop user agent though. I don't know what it is.

Yeah they do seem to figure out the user agent trick eventually if you use it several times. That's happened to other people I know. I think if you keep using a lot of data when tethering eventually they review your usage more carefully with their other methods like the TTL check.

Absolutely no less than 90% of this has been used while connected via native wifi tethering, and this usage is over the course of only 2 weeks. I have unlimited 4g (prepaid) and no tethering plan at all.
I've gotten a page that says I'm either not authorized to tether or over my limit two or three times in the last 3 days, but I just disable/re-enable tethering and reload the page....that's solved it every time.
just in case anyone is wondering, I'm using native wifi/usb tether on official PA (always the latest build) and franco M3 kernel....I've also got the chrome user agent switcher installed on my phone and set to desktop. I'm sure that doesn't matter, but I thought I should mention it. I'm also using chrome on my ubuntu PC with no user agent switcher installed.
I'm curious how much data everyone else who has had a problem tethering have used. I'm pretty sure my usage is way heavier than probably 99% of their customers...even those of us here

You guys have me all kinds of curious about tethering now.
Are any of you using mostly LTE?
If so, what's the battery life?

I stay on LTE, no serious difference in battery lifeand I'm usually plugged in while I tether, so battery life doesn't matter much there. Perfectly stable until T-Mo discovers you're over the limit.

I wonder if whether or not T-mobile can measure how much data you've used for tethering without using their hotspot app (what they use on T-mobile branded phones to meter tethering usage) depends on the APN you're connected through?
