I used this for almost 3 days now. It's the best AIM app for Android by far, but it drains the battery fast. Besides that, it's great.

It seems a little laggy and definitely uses more memory/system resources than eBuddy. I'm leaving it installed, but I'll be sticking with eBuddy for daily IM usage.

It uses a lot of battery, and signs out when the phone goes to sleep. I constantly find myself having to re-login.

It keeps me logged in 24/7 (unless I'm on the phone and I lose 3g connectivity, but then it would log me back in when I get off the phone and regain internet connection), but then again, I am running 96mb swap.

keeps me logged in...I have it excluded with Advanced task manager...then again, I haven't put the phone down since I installed it...lol...
but so far the best AIM app...doesn't use the dictionary unfortunately so typing can get annoying, not sure if that's a KingKlick Eclair rom issue or the app itself...but all in all 4/5 is def a proper rating...could easily be 5/5 if I could remove the damn livestream and its tabs completely..not a lot of settings though.

I keep it excluded aswell in Advanced Task Manager, and I've been using it all day, and it's gone out on me multiple times, and I spent a good 6 hours with full 3g coverage, so I know it wasn't a matter of losing data. Even or wifi I lose it, and I have wifi lock on aswell to keep it from disabling while going to sleed/stand by. And I have a 128mb swap, not sure what that would have to do with it logging on or off...

I've been using HiAIM beta ever since I got my phone. It doesn't disconnect me unless I'm on the phone (which is normal). I like the interface a lot more than anything else I have used (I turn off bubble-style chat).

nice! great that aim finall released for android. i am currently using helloIM which is great and i think better at this point than this one. but helloIM is no longer supported by its devs i think, so i have a felling official AIM will be the one to use for the future as they update it more.

I heard on the news that Facebook chat will be available through 3rd party IM apps like yahoo messenger and AIM.....can anyone confirm this?

It's already working on my aim.
Link your facebook to your aim screen name with the latest beta desktop aim client so when you log into AIM with the official app, you can also log into your facebook chat.

Great! Thanks a million.

It looks nice, however it is a mega battery drainer, my phone also heats up quite a bit but that may be because I'm listening to music at the same time. Does anyone know if messages sent through this application to cellphones count as messages or date?
[AIM can also send text messages, im wondering if they count as texts or not]

It looks almost identical to Community Hero Mix, but slightly different (especially the battery indicator).
iVisionX01, how did you get your data indicator to display "H" instead of "3G"? Or is that included with the ROM?

My apologies gentlemen I have a Nexus One. I'm using CyanogenMOD 5.0 w/ the Smooth Black Bar Theme.

Interesting, I didn't know that the H was included with CM5. I'm requesting that he also make that change for the next release of CM4.

Are you happy with Samsung Galaxy S i9000 ? (YES/NO) and Why?

I think i need your result about SGS
please vote and post to hold topic up.

I will be able to answer this question once Samsung/Broadcom release their "updated" GPS driver.

Yes but no! )
I love my galaxy s but don't feel I can answer yes just yet... when samsung hold to thier promise and deliver software for a fast phone with stable GPS then I will give it a resounding yes... until then, I love it... but not enough to commit myself! )

I am very happy with my device!

if you choose NO, please tell us WHY ?

Yes and after flashing to JM1 rev.3 - extremely so! Can't wait for Froyo!

Of all the smartphones I have owned so far, I love this the most. So definitely YES!

YEY
It is a great phone. Except the GPS everything just works. So when GPS is fixed, I think I will stay with this phone a long time being happy. That means > 1/2y

Shouldn't this be in the General section?

I am not quite happy with this phone. I switched from Samsung Omnia HD, the most powerfull symbian device to date, to check out the wonders of Android. Except for the multitouch, unfortunately it doesnt have anything better than Omnia HD. I am sorry to state this, because I really thought it would make a difference. But having to download an application for every single little function that should be alreayd there, it's really frustrating. It's just my point of view. Maybe some other ex HD owners think otherwise. There is not at least a led for the camera (otherwise good pictures during the day, I admit); there is no option (unless u use an app) NOT to show the whole world around you your SMSs; there is no option to choose what connection to use (unless to start and stop all kinds of data applications); you cannot choose any song you please for any alert in the phone, unless you move the respective sound in some strange folder in the phone; there is no way to choose where to install an application; gprs connection only works after I restart the phone and after a couple of hours it just doesnt transfer anything anymore; you cannot send via bluetooth unless you install an application; you cannot choose if you want or not the messages to be shown as conversations and many many more.
Dont get me wrong , the phone is very good and has many good things, but unfortunately, as I was saying, it is very very dissappointing not to have elementary comfort functions already in the menu, but to have to download little stupid apps for everything.
Conclusion: I will buy Nokia N8 as soon as it reaches my country.
PS: I dont what the famos GPS problem is, but mine with NDRIVE works great and in real time. Strange, I know.

so, you choose 'NO' becuse of Android OS.

Yes I am happy with it, it is a great multimedia device with the ability to watch films etc. on a big super amoled screen.
But I am annoyed that you have to do loads of tweaks to get everything working and lag free.
Quite alot of people would never think of flashing firmware and performing lag fixes. They would probably have been better off with the Desire which works out of the box.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Haven't voted yet. If they get GPS working I'll keep it else it's being returned as "not fit for purpose."

Overall, I am very happy with my SGS, It came with JF1 but is now running JM1, which reduced the lag a little, but thanks to RyanZa's Lag fix, the phone is too fast
Not had any need to try out the GPS and am not too fussed as its a bit of a gimick to me.
The wife has an SGS too, still on stock JF1, and she loves it, won't let me speed it up though as she is very happy with its Stock performance, having come from a Nokia N97 that crashed on a regular basis and ran like a two legged dog with no sense of direction...

Yes, unfortunately Android OS is not quite ready to be used , at least for someone coming from Symbian OS. It reminds me of older Win Mobile, few good years ago.

And would you mind explaining in just a few words what this LAG is, that everyone is talking about? I find the speed of my device just fine.

I am currently, but I am assuming GPS will become somewhat functional in September. I bought it to improve my productivity in many ways, and it does.
But, if the GPS isn't fixed, even though I rarely use it, I'd have to question if it is the best choice for me...

I am happy with the device but not the samsung service or their ability to fix problems quickly.
Over 2 months now and the gps problem and the lag problem have not been fixed. And then I look at Motorola and HTC and how quickly they come out with fixes and updates.
Plus looking at the development going on with their devices like cyanogen mod etc I am not sure if my next upgrade will be a samsung device. I might have gotten seduced by the Samoled screen but my next phone will be the one google chooses next as its development device as all these other phone might have new bells and whistles but they should add to basc android not subtract from it as many do currently.

This is truely the first phone that works great if not perfectly right out of the box!

YAY! Finally got the NoDo update...

Really Microsoft?? The much awaited, much anticipated "NoDo update" and all we basically got was copy & paste?? Aside from that I don't see much difference in the performance of my phone. My phone is stock with minimal apps installed on it and it is still a piece of **** and missing some features that would've made me keep this phone. I was holding off getting rid of it to see what this NoDo update had in store and it was pretty much a waste imo. NoDo sucks, Windows Phone 7 sucks, good thing I still have all my Android phones to fall back on. I don't even think the recent news of Android possibly being ported to the HD7 is gonna keep me from not getting rid of this phone. Craigslist, here I come. Let's see what kind of trade I can get for it cuz I don't even want money for it.
P.S. Microsoft, the C&P ain't even that great!

I'll Give you a +1 regarding the NODO update being not as much as we would like it to...
But with regards to the OS itself I personally love WP7 having Come from android and having flashed hundreds of ROMs on my Hero
I think MS has done a brilliant Job with WP7 ( Yeah we still dont have a lot of Apps)
But It comes with the ones one would normally use in daily life
like Facebook, ebay, live messenger etc and not to mention the brilliant email system which lacks in android (For me the email part is the best I have seen) and the ability to pin to start my favourite apps or even websites.
I am sure the MANGO update will solve our woes and am seriously looking for a NOKIA Branded WP7 as that definitely be a killer phone.
As of now I am pretty happy with the phone as it serves my daily purpose.
But I Guess Its a Personal Choice

Why don’t you look for a job at engadget if you want to rant about how terrible this OS is. Your profile shows you as a member since 2008 with 169 posts mostly about android. You describe yourself as "android enthusiast, other OS curious" and looking through your posts all I can find recently is stuff pertaining to Android; which is why I will call you a fandroid troll.

Exactly..Android enthusiast, other OS curious. I've had Windows phones in the past but didn't like them much. (T-Mobile Dash, the silver T-Mobile phone with the slide out keyboard-can't remember the name, the Touch Pro 2) The phones themselves were fine, especially my Touch Pro 2 that I regret selling to this day but Windows Mobile was never my cup of tea so I switched to Android when the G1 came out. I was curious about WP7 when it first came out which is why I bought the HD7 but Microsoft has not been able keep my curiosity with this new OS. It is boring to me. Once again the phone itself is dope but the OS isn't kicking it with me..it gets boring rather quickly. The reason most of my post recently are Android is because I have 5 Android phones and only one WP7 phone that I ain't liking much right now. I wouldn't consider myself a fandroid troll like you labeled me because I try other OS's and try to like them and don't live by Android completely. You think I like dishing out $400-500 for a phone just so I can come into these forums and talk **** about the OS on it?? I also own an iPhone 4, a Macbook Pro and all 4 generations of the iPod Touch which is something I'm sure you wouldn't hear an iOS enthusiast say. WP7 sucks IMO..that's my opinion and its not coming from an Android troll.

Use the wifi toggle method. I kept waiting and I forced it to update to nodo.
Toggle on airplane mode. Then turn on wifi. Plug into zune and let it update. Find the average time it takes to say no updates available. Then do it again and turn off wifi on your phone 1 or 2 seconds before it finishes searching for an update.
Took me about 15 tries or so but it finally worked!

I am sorry but I have to disagree with you and agree with the original poster, i have had this paper weight around since November to see what this update will do and its crap, nothing important changed.
You say great email? The HD2 email system was fifty times better for two main reason: Select All, and ability to view many email addresses on one place.
You praise that you can pin it to your home screen? hell any phone u can do that, and it will even tell u how many emails you got on the home screen.
But for a real email user who has several accounts to track with over 100 emails per day per account, WM7 version is crap, I have to go back to the home screen every time to access the diff account ( should be able to select which account I want to view when in email reader, basic feature, HD2 had it, why not HD7? this is a newer OS with lack of common features? makes no sense.
Then I have to tap and open the selector and then manually select any where from 30 to 100 emails to delete? manually? i mean comon windows 3.1 had select all, 15 years ago. Same for SMS, u cant select all to get rid of lots of emails.
Our color options of the live tiles are still designed for a 5th grader school girl.
The Hard ware is great, no doubt, typing is much better and the way you interact with the phone, but the OS is just bleak.
One of my biggest ? for Microsoft... In what century did man develop the rational that placing data in a table vs one verticle row makes more sense? I wanna say some time in BC?
when you open up my programs on you desk top, yes u can select to have them all lined up in a row and be long as hell, but u can also place them in tables so you fit more data on one screen since were dealing with a smaller screen. why do we not have that option here? every phone even before touch screens displays programs and data that way. ....???
Im sorry guys, ive said this before and will say it again. this phone has one great feature, you can spy on your friends via face book faster cuase your home tab will tell you when they are taking a dump.
other then that, is a great piece of hard ware, running a strip down windows3.1
and the more you look into the Nokia and Windows working on a phone together announcement will show you that MS realized that this phone flopped, and that they need to do something drastic now to get back in the game.

Help! 4.2 update erased my bookmarks!

All of my bookmarks have been erased by the 4.2 update! Is there anything I can do to get them back? I am talking about the local bookmarks.
Actually, the update erased everything related to my browser: bookmarks, saved passwords, search options etc.

Chrome Browser?
Did you get OTA update or did you do something to get it?

Stock browser. OTA, just popped out of nowhere (didn't even know 4.2 was out until it showed) and I thought "why not"? Well that answers why not. I do have a backup of the bookmarks but it's over 2 months old and many are missing, probably lost forever unless someone here has any ideas on how to get them back. The missing bookmarks were the result of many hours of web searches I did at some point researching a topic and I'd really hate to think of all that wasted time. I never imagined an update would erase my bookmarks, it never happened with previous ones.
(I could never figure in titanium backup how to do scheduled backups of the bookmarks only and nothing else)

If you visit each & every site that you had bookmarked you'll find that you can tap on the star in the address bar & bookmark them all over again.

Do you happen to have the same Book Marks on your Phone or maybe your Computer. Do you use Chrome Browser on your Computer... If not i recommend it. It as well other desktop / phone browsers will give you the option to sync them across devices.. I LOVE This feature.
Now as far it being a near end of earth catastrophe About loosing book marks. It has happened to me in the past. I just had to search for the sites i use again. I also found i had way more book mark sites then i actually use.
I think this is what the above comment meant about . Just go back to the sites and Re add them.. Some of the Inter-webs and company links are not so easy and i do feel for you for loosing them..
Good Luck.. Chrome will not get them back but could prevent this in the future..

I don't use chrome. I have tried hard to like it, and failed. It is counterintuitive for me.
Like I said, those bookmarks were the result of many hours of research (product availability for a narrow niche market, very hard to find). I didn't have them anywhere else. I guess I will have to waste more hours to find them again.
Anyway, the 4.2 update gets a big thumbs down from me.

For future reference, there are are apps in the play store that will back up your bookmarks.
I've lost plenty of bookmarks myself over the years. Until I started backing them up with
A third party app.

Like I said, I use Titanium Backup and it does a good job at it, but I haven't figured out how to make it regularly backup my bookmarks only. I don't want to do a full system backup on a daily basis. I backup the bookmarks manually, but I have to remember doing that. The last time I remembered was on Sept 29th.
Another app I tried, Bookmark Sort&Backup has the nasty habit of reversing the order of my bookmarks every time I start it. (yeah I know, just run it twice) It has no automation built in it either, so all operations have to be done manually. Comes down to memory again.

That would be something nice to see in titanium... The closest you can get is to schedule
A backup for modified data. But it backs up all modified data, not individual apps.
(Pro version)
(Edit) Just realized that TB does backup individual apps with modified
Data on a schedule... If you create a filter for just that app.

I use chrome and all my bookmarks are still there. However on one game it cleared my history of winning games. No big deal.

Push notifications
Hi all,
I have add the likes of Viber and Whatsapp to the protected app list, but still once the app is closed it stops getting push notifications.
Have played around with the battery manager, but still no luck.
Has anyone got a fix or workaround for this?
Thanks
Paul

Hi, how can i move apps to sd card?? I have enabled the default storage to sd card but my big games don't have any move to sd card option

NEM-TL00H: Only EDGE connection
Hi,
I have an imported Honor 5C which I am using in Germany (T-Mobile network). Although I'm using Sim Card slot 1, I don't get a 3G (or 4G) connection. Does anyone have a guess what could be the problem? I know that 4G is probably not supported because of the not supported German LTE bands, but 3G shouldn't be a problem I thought.
Thanks in advance and best regards

Yes, from play store GMD Immersive, here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive&hl=en_GB I'm using it right now on a non-rooted 5c and it works pretty well. Won't remove it but will hide/unhide it as needed.

Will this phone have custom roms and other customisations available?

What about camera model?

Does anyone know where to by the device online which has the fingerprint scanner included and works with a UK sim card?

Hi everyone,
I received my Honor 5C two days ago and I have noticed an annoying behavior, related to RAM management: Emui tends to close my apps very quickly, even the ones I have configured to be protected (both in the settings and in the task manager by using the trick of swiping down to lock the app).
All of this with still 700 Mb of unused RAM...
If I open a web browser for instance, then go check my email, then look at a couple of pics in the gallery or wathever (I haven't done anything heavy on the phone yet), and then coming back to the browser, it turns out the latter has to reload completely. Like I said, it does so the same way with protected and unprotected apps and even without shutting down the screen in between.
Edit: it's ridiculous, I tried using the timer in the built-in clock app, and it got killed before the end of the time I'd set. Twice.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

Reg : VoLTE support in ASIA model
Hi Guys,
I m planning to buy this honor 5C. I m from India.
Have 2 doubts about the device.
1. I heard that Memory Management is not gud in this mobile. Is it a (ROM) or (Kernel) problem ? Can it be rectified with any official update (ROM) from Honor ?
2. Do anyone know if the Device could get VoLTE support in Future ?
Thanks.

Yes, memory management is just terrible. I'm experiencing it more and more every passing hour and it's a PITA, if not a deal breaker. Apps are killed mercilessly which leads to missed notifications, alarms and timers not ringing and general displeasure swapping between apps. It's a real pity because hardware-wise, it really IS a fine phone, fast and with a really decent camera for the price. I also like the general EMUI experience as an interface.
I have spent hours browsing the net and haven't found any solution yet, official or unofficial, apart from either rooting and disabling the Emui Phone Manager app, or installing a custom ROM.
I was not planning on fiddling with this phone just yet so am expectantly waiting for an official update. But if that's not coming in the next days, I think I'll just end up returning it. I just don't know which phone to get instead...

I haven't experienced any memory management problems...especially as bad you are experiencing! It sounds to me that your phone is just plain faulty.

changing the default storage to sd card makes the system install big apps automatically to sd card but it wont transfer already existing apps, atleast thats what happened in my case

The memory management isn't as bad as you are describing, just go to phone manager>protected apps and enable it for the apps you want running in the background, you can also go into settings>apps>advanced>ignore optimisations and allow it for the apps that are being killed, and i dont think you'll miss alarms and timers because they are system apps

I have similar problems, even system apps, e.g. Health will be killed in background while doing nothing. Unfortunately you can't even add system apps to the protected apps list.
And even apps on the protected apps list are being killed in background on my phone.

I did try and use these settings, with absolutely no effect at all.
But contrary to what I said in that initial message, I ended up unlocking and rooting the phone. Like I said I really like this phone, especially compared to my friends phones in the same price range. It's a fast little thing and pictures in daylight (the only kind I take) are excellent, way better than my 300€ compact camera. Plus battery life is good. So I didn't want to give up on it.
After rooting I freezed the phone manager app and a few others, installed Kernel Aduitor, fiddled with the settings, and now I'm quite happy with it. Apps can finally use more RAM and stay open longer... it still has a tendency to kill them a little bit too fast to my liking, I'm guessing this is an Android 6.0 "feature", but at least it is now usable.

It looks like frp is still turned on.
Boot to Android and in developer settings, make sure OEM unlocking is checked and try again.
Should work then.
