messenger for hermes mobile
thx for your reply but where will i get those softwares as you replied to me "There are several out there such as Slick, BeeJive, OctroTalk, etc. I go for the first one."
Google them.
I would suggest palringo, but then, you might want to try several and see wich one fits you best.
Replace default messenger
Do any of the cooked ROMS allow you to adjust the default messenger? I'm using Slick as I have unlimited data but not text. I like it quite a bit I just wish I'd get standard notifications when a new message is received (i.e. lock screen, home screen etc)

Hello All!
I was wondering what everyone is using for instant messaging? I currently have MSN Talk installed, because that is what my girlfriend uses the most. I figured we could use it to communicate while I am busy flashing ROMs on my phone. However, it keeps signing me out. Anyone find anything that works really well?
Use IMO IM. It runs as an App on android, and also as a tab in your desktop browser, and supports all major IM platforms including Skype (w/ video) and Facebook....
i'm partial to trillian
They have trillian for the droid os? I've searched for it in the market. Id love to get that app on mu NC and my phone.
sent from my NC
I also use Trillian. Skype is ok but you can def tell it's not really made for the NC. Trillian works great straight off, IMO.
Thanks for the suggestions. It looks like Trillian is going to be my best bet for an all around messenger.
If all you care about is MSN Messenger, I HIGHLY recommend you check out MSN Messenger: Mercury. It is absolutely gorgeous on the nook color. The text is easily readable by default, and you can change the font size in the settings. You can set your conversations up in chat bubbles, just like texting. It can be set to start on boot up, and it automatically reconnects if you disconnect for any reason. I am really impressed with it.

Overall, I really like Kaiten and K9 email clients. However, the following issues are really annoying and would like some help if possible.
1. If I scroll down to the middle of my inbox to read a few messages
then switch to a different app; when I switch back to K9/Kaiten, the inbox automatically scrolls back to the top. Therefore, I lose my place EVERY TIME and have to remember how far down I was in the inbox. Any fix for this?
2. When reading an email in Kaiten, is it possible to make the LEFT navigational arrow bring up the next NEWEST email (going UP in the inbox) instead of the next oldest (down) email? (This works perfectly in K9)
3. When reading an email, if I switch to another app then return to the email, none of the navigational buttons work (ie. the arrows or volume buttons) to allow me to move on to another email. I must hit the back arrow to get to the email list which of course automatically scrolls all the way back to the top of my inbox and loses my place. ARGH!!!! (see #1)
4. Is it possible to change the font color in the signature and when
composing new emails?
5. Is it possible to change the font type (ie. Times New Roman,
Courier, etc.) in the signature and when composing new emails?
Is there another IMAP client out there that does NOT have these issues? In addition to K9 and Kaiten, I've tried Enhanced Mail, Touchdown, MailDroid, Moxier Mail, and the stock app of course. They all seem to have various issues. Maybe I'm expecting too much out of an app. The stock email app on my Palm Pre worked well for me!
Same, I can't find a good replacement with everything I need, The old wm6.5 email client was perfect for me.

I agree with the email limitations of Android apps and couldn't figure out how to do some of these either. Only thing I know of for issue #1 would be to star the email before going out so can easily find it again. Not a solution though I know.
If you haven't done it already, send a request to the app developers to add the features. Especially with #1 & #2 in your list. These would be good to have.
Yeah, I'm with you -- no Android e-mail client seems perfect. Of the ones I've tried, I ended up with Enhanced E-Mail (for IMAP) and the stock client (for Exchange).

I just learned that Enhanced Email also supports Exchange. This is the app that is working best for me right now.
Enhanced Email is by far the best email app, and much better than the built in app. It is however 10 bucks and that is a drawback, but it is worth twice that amount. The one thing to note is that Google changed what was available to third party email clients when it comes to contacts. That can be fixed with Contact Editor app.
I will give enhanced email a try. I've also been looking into a new mail client for Android.
I normally use touchdown, but it can be unwieldy (and the UI is all kinds of suck).
I've been using the Enhanced Email Trial for almost a week and I think I'm falling in love. Will probably purchase it soon...
I'm curious to know what instant messengers other people are using.
Currently I'm using trillian, and I like it, however I'd like the option to get a notification when certain contacts login (but not every contact). Is there any app that does this?
It would also be usefull if it supported multiple protocols, I'd rather not have multiple i.m. apps running at once.
tried IM+....only other multi client I know of with a decent gui...not sure about individual alerts based on contact
Should try talk.to. Amazingly simple UI and works really well.

I forgot to mention, I need to use a messenger that works over data and not sms since I don't have a messaging plan. also I read this comment under the talk.to comments section "Changing the status of all my accounts to a Talk.to promotion without asking is completely unacceptable, and a shame because the app works great."
I have been using an old GO SMS version up to now, being very careful not to update it since they have removed the one feature I kept it for, the inbox. I sincerely hate the threaded stuff, I have hated it since it first came in Windows Mobile, and then on the HD2 and up. Pansi was great, but didn't work anymore because updating stopped. I have no interest at all browsing a box where I see the messages I have sendt, I want it to be like a mail program, not a social media thing (I don't even have Facebook or other social media...). So is there a non-threaded/unthreaded/inbox style SMS app out there? I have spent an hour on Play to find it, but failed.
I've used about every SMS app that's out there and I don't recall this being an option. Lemme just clarify though as it seems like an odd request to me (no offense - not odd bad, just odd different). You want an SMS app that only shows their messages to you, but not yours to them? If that's so, the only half assed work around I could think of would be one that has the ability to theme all components of the message and make the out going messages blend in to the background.
So you haven't been around very long, then? That was the only way until around 2008 for smartphones, when Windows Mobile 6 came with threaded messages. Until now there's always been apps that supports it. Basically I want an SMS app that doesn't use threaded messaging, so I can go into an inbox and see the messages I have received, not the one I have sendt, yes. But blending in doesn't help, the main thing isn't the separate "conversations", it's the separate inbox where I only see the text of messages I have received, nothing else. So just like the inbox of MS Office Outlook, if that helps. Or like K9 mail for Android, if that tells you more. I just don't see why what's widely considered the efficient way to do things in mail is so different in SMS. Almost all mail programs has one inbox and one sendt box.
Hi everyone. I've finally managed to get my Google calendar on my Huawei to give me notifications for Reminders! However, I would really like repeating reminders on these notifications in case I don't see or hear the reminder or just plain forget to do what they say! Ideally I'd like the notifications to keep going off every couple of minutes if I don't respond to them, and Google calendar doesn't have this functionality at all, as far as I can tell.
I tried a Program called calendar Notifications Plus, which looks perfect for my needs, but doesn't seem to work on my phone, it simply doesn't pick up on any reminders I set, so doesn't actually do a thing on my system.
I noticed that in the Google settings you can specify an alternative calendar app, so I was going to try that with a third party calendar app. Does anyone have any recommendations for an app, ideally with this repeating functionality built into it, and on top of that I'd like to talk to Google assistant to set up the reminders if possible, like I do currently.
For example I say "Hey Google, remind me to punch a badger at 12pm today" and it sets up the reminder which gets put into the thirtld party app, which will notify me at 12pm and then continue to vibrate/play a notification sound every 2 minutes until I dismiss the notification.
Anyone have any experience running a setup like this please?
Thanks so much!
P.S - I really wouldn't recommend punching badgers as they (a) don't like it (b) can be quite vicious, and (c) often carry tuberculosis. ?
Ah, turns out the Alternative calendars setting isn't for alternative third party apps, but for alternative calendars, like Chinese, Hebrew, Indian, etc.
So I guess my new question is - does anyone know how I can get notifications to repeat and keep beeping/vibrating every couple of minutes until I dismiss the notifications?
