Hi everyone!
This morning I was greeted with this message:
"The Messenger app for Windows Phone is no longer available. Please use Messenger by going to www facebook com/messages in your mobile browser."
So I was wondering if there's an alternative 3rd party app for Messenger?
PS: please spare me of the "w10m is dead just switch already" etc. comments. I love the platform and want to stick with is for as long as possible.
My messenger don't open! And I can't understand what a problem?))
What version of Messenger do you use? For me the version "99.701.24366.0" still works.

That I don't know. The app doesn't let me in and I tried reinstalling it but now I can't even download it from the store (Error 0x80073D01)
(Note: I have a Lumia 735 with Version 1607, Build 10.0.14393.2551)
Microsoft had it's own facebook and messenger app before facebook made their crap, but they removed it from the store. I don't really care about the facebook, but not having messenger scks.

It is not that important anymore.
If you’re looking for a super-secure messaging client that’s also easy to use, Signal is for you. Signal is an open-source messaging service available on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Linux.
This is probably the best alternative. Hope it helps!
How to bring all my friend to use signal only to chat with me ?
A good option is to find the old version of this program in packaged form, download it from your computer to your phone as an app file and unzip it from your phone. Next, prevent this program from updating, this should help

This method helped me, thank you a lot! I was thought buying new phone because i need some social apps (such as facebook, twitter, instagram and so on) in my work and daily life, but fortunately i have found your post. In my Lumia 950 (by the way you can read my article about Lumia this method works on any app which i have tried to install.

How can this be done? I got no clue
a) where to find programs in packaged form
b) transfer it to the phone (where to)?
c) unzip to where when on the phone
A more in detail explaination would be great
Facebook pulled out every windows phone app. So quit dreaming.

New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.
"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

I uploaded the Cab here so everyone can download...even us Verizon users that got left out
This cab is for Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5.
Cheers!
If its any help this is version
Bing Mobile 5.1.2010.3290
Previous was
5.0.11249.0
Its alot quicker than the previous version and they have moved the menus to the bottom. I cant see much change.
I still prefer the old Bing/Live Search layout and configuration.
Movie times used to be so easy to browse, with the new style it does a bing search instead of getting the data from a provider. I think MS decided to cheap out. It's now basically useless in my books.

Using it on my Tmobile HD2 with Energy Rom. Working fine. I was using the previous version too and can't tell if there's any change. Wish it had a functional version of voice SMS like Microsoft TellMe.

Downloaded the latest directly from MS and installed on my Diamond/CDMA and it seems to be working fine. The one I used is a bit larger than the one a few posts up, so I've attached it for convenience.

Yeah, but isn't the Diamond WM 6.1?
I tested it on 6.1, but don't see why i won't work upwards, maybe the two are different versions indeed for different OS.
Mine worked on VGA TouchPro WM 6.1
i cant save 'gps tracking.' it remains unchecked everytime i check the settings. therefore gps is unable to locate me. this pop up always shows everytime i attempt to locate my position, "allow bing to access and store your location to improve searching and for navigation?" it doesnt matter if i chose ok or cancel because there are no change in results regardless. google maps is working fine for me so im sure its not a gps issue from my phone.
Does anybody know if there's a Windows Mobile version of Grindr?
WMGrindr now available!
Yes, there is! Well, sort of...
I created this Grindr viewer app for Windows Mobile.
You can use it to see which Grindr users are in your proximity.
In order to use it, you need an WM phone with built-in GPS.
Have fun!

Thanks for the viewer ... is there any way to interact with the users listed in the results? This is the first time I've thought that not having an iPhone is a problem!!!

I think he's talking about a version similar to the ones available on iOS, BB, and Android devices--one with chat functions. It would be nice, but it seems as of now that it is just a "viewer"...
Seem that the Grindr app here doesnt; work anymore.. it always discovers my location.. but never displays anyone.. I live in a major metro area so it should list some people...

I know there's some lengthy workaround to the lack of live/msn support on the Touchpad, but it also seems pretty buggy. Is there a plugin available or client app at all?
Thanks!
I dont have a touchpad yet but if nothing else works you could a web app for it.
For example: http://imo.im

are you talking about the Jabber workaround? If my Gtalk worked I would use it.
The imo site it cool thanks LP.
[Q] Windows live messenger/MSN client or compatability
The default instant messenger client on the touchpad doesn't presently support WLM/MSN. Does anyone know of any plans to create a dedicated app or a plug in for the stock IM application?
I was going to ask the same thing. Seems like search isnt working, but someone mentioned there is hack to get it working. Just wish search was up! grr

seems a bit much for what its worth, but if youve got some free time
If nothing else works you could try install an msn program from UbuntuChroot?
[Q] can you get msn messenger on the touchpad ?
I see the likes of google, aol etc are there, but the most popular one isn't ?
anyway of adding msn messenger to the hp touchpad ?
the only way ive seen is to use the jabber work around, just google 'jabber touchpad' and it will come up, but you need linux to make it work it seems :/ other than that you could always just use ebuddy from the browser doesnt seem to have any discernible lag
Yeah the chat program is a little lame...no MSN or Facebook chat...and the facebook app doesn't include the chat feature...so have to use plain web browser.
Any update on this? I really need/require msn/windows live messenger support
There is a way to do it, when I have a little time I'll see if I can find the site with instructions.
Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum and that is why i am posting it here. I am going to buy a new phone. The one i have stinks, however that is not the issue i want to address. I am stuck between samsung galaxy s3 and the windows 8x by HTC. The thing is that i use it for school and need to address some things about it
1) i download files a lot from my schools site, powerpoints, .rtf files, word documents, etc. So i need to know if i can download and view them right on my phone.
2) is the office application to view these files good? can i edit files if i want? SOLVED
3) i frequently use dropbox. is it supported? SOLVED
4) does it support mobile hotspot? i don't use it frequently but i have a tablet that on small occasion i have to use the hotspot.SOLVED
5) is the battery life ok on the 8x? SOLVED
6) is back up assistant on the 8x? i have verizon. if not how can i save my contacts if i go with this phone?
7) is IE 10 a good browser? i have never tried it.SOLVED
8) how is the app store? good or bad? does it have a navigation app? SOLVED
sorry for all the questions. i dont have an upgrade and want to make sure i get the right phone for the money.
i don't need to ask any questions about the s3 because i know android and that it works for all the above mentioned.
Thanks to anyone who can give me some guidance here.
S3. Why would anyone want a widows phone?

I think (but i'm really subjective) that WP8 is better than android for "working": Office is really helpful and you can read .ppt and .doc documents. Dropbox is supported and you can create an mobile hotspot easily. IE10 metro is really better than its predecessors (in desktop i still use chrome ). The app store is...mh...is better the android one i think, but compared to the wp7's store, the wp8 one is good

You should start using SkyDrive if you are going to get windows phone
I use android, and I use most of these services...
Dropbox for auto upload full size images to web instantly then download to pc.
GoogleDrive for backing up unlimited amount of photos on web (size decreases to 1024px width/height max )
SkyDrive for taking notes on the go and office files.
WP8 does support DropBox...

As title asks - is there any good Skype clients out there? The official one is preposterously bad and one of the few I can find that actually does Skype is IM+ but that one isn't too minimalistic either.
Is there any good ones that I don't know about?

Ye, I've been around IMO. I didn't really like the UI last time I used it but judging from screenshots it seems ok now. Sadly it also seems like Skype is no longer supported?
Boy, I missed the days when MSN/WLM got used. It was so much more flawless than Skype is an non of this "only possible to use official client" BS.. Sigh
Is there any good skype client now?
