I was using the demo which seems to work ok. So I bought it. Now I have an issue where once I close the IM program (but running in background), if I open the IM or try to read an incoming message, I don't get the IM+ window. I do get the bottom bar with all the menus that work, but I can't see my IM or the contact list.
I don't know what is causing this. I tested this program pretty much all the way through all my loading of my software. It was working. Then all of sudden it quit working, I tried to uninstall everything but that didnt fix it. I tried reinstalling the program but that too failed to help.
*bump**bump*
*bump*
*bump*
Hmmm, I bought one also but have not got that kind of issue.
So far so good.
I think you need to contact their support.
i have no problems with im+ either
no problems here
I contacted them 11/13 but still no answer. And just now I just tried to remove it and.. if I turn off "ALways run in background" it fixed it. BUT of course it shuts down the program the minute I close it. I moved the program over to the exceptions list for my tast manager. Now it sorta works. Thank GOD. I thought I waisted $40 on this program.
Not sure what this does:
"Prevent automatic power down"
If this option is marked with flag, your Pocket PC will be prevented from going to standby mode.
I think my Tilt still goes to sleep, like as if I pressed the power button after a few minutes, with or without the check on that box so I'm not sure what it does.

It's only meant for Pocket PC's, not PPC PE's. This is why there's no difference on a PPC phone.
Try 2 open the Today Screen with the Start Button.. or try to check if X BUtton is used just minimize and close on longer push.
both are options which should work.. had the same problem. you'd better bought agile messenger:O

Not to mention the whole pricing scheme they came up with, IM+ is a one time fee. Also, I've noticed more compatibility with Services from IM+ over Agile. Agile doesn't always recognize Aliases set by Messaging services, and I found it to be more bulky and bloated, but thats just my opinion. I wrote an email (using the form on the site) to ShapeServices support and got a response in 2 days... Not the most outstanding response time, but I guess better late then never.
Thanks for the replies. I found agile a day AFTER I bought IM+. It looks good, but didn't seem to be as polished as IM+, although IM+ isn't working all that great for me at the moment, but it is running now). Agile has something about paying $40+ for a lifetime subscription. Or was that for a years worth... I did like how you could send voice messages and pictures really easy in agile.
One thing that bothered me was, do these programs do a "forwarding" to keep track of what you send on their servers? I think Agile does. But I think IM+ uses AIMs server, but I could be wrong.

You mean are they all central server-based solutions? To my knowledge, yes - everything you say goes through their servers.

With the free Fring, you can even chat in voice (not just send voice clips) - it supports VoIP and is great. A Kaiser-compatible version has been released recently; I've published a news item on it today.
I'm using Palringo at the moment, with pidgin on my desktop to manage my list from until the next version comes out that has the brunt of the missing features. For my vote, it's the snappiest UI I've seen so far, a Today plugin is in the works (for now it's a tray icon for notification), has GREAT camera support like Agile, fun PTT radio like audio. Audio and Pictures work will non Palringo clients as well, they just recieve a link that lets them play / view through a web browser.
Their support is also friendly and fairly active on the forum. This IM client also has "groups" which are sort of like chat rooms that you can subscribe to. These have proven fun and useful as well in my experience.
I had agile, but it was to slow, I've had IM+ but was mislead by a phone rep that my phones version supported file transfers (what I liked), so they gave me a refund. I've also had Fring, but it doesn't support Yahoo or AIM, which I use about as much as any other. Once fring gets those I'll be tempted to go back to it though, excellent peice of code.
I have I'M+ on my XV-6700 installed on to the storage card, and as long as I don't suspend power everything works fine. If I do suspend power then when I turn the device back on it can't find the storage card, have to do a soft reset to be able to see the card again!
debating if its worth it, what other software would you recommend?
I need AIM and Google Talk
I found something bad. I guess I was wrong, If I turn this on, my tilt doesnt go insto standy. You tend not to notice this because most people hit the off button on the side of the unit. But I noticed it never shut down when I doing nothing (I have it to turn off after 2mins). But if I turned this off, then it would shut down. But I noticed with the Tilt off, IM+ would disconnect but not show that it was disconnected when you turn it back on.

Anyone using IM+ with Dutty's Kaiser DualTouch v1.1 ROM?
I am having problems with IM+ on Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 ROM and was wondering if anyone else has run into similar problems. I posted a description of the problem in Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 ROM Thread, but it doesn't seem like anyone there uses IM+. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I can not get AIM+ to work with Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 rom. When ever I open up a buddy, it does not give me the textbox below to enter a message. Anyone else with this issue? Agile does not work with my dataplan but works through the USB connection.

I'm running Molski 2.26 on a 2.25.0001 IPL/SPL. For some reason when I am signed into Agile (only AOL), and then i make a call, when i end the call, Agile refuses to sign back in to AOL. It just sits there and spins the red x.
I've tried using IM+, same thing. I've enabled GPRS always on. I've upgraded the radio.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
thanks!
Note * my friend is running 2.26 on a G3 and does not experience this. Wierd
futher testing
I just did some further testing. And this is an AOL specific bug. MSN will reconnect just fine.
To get aol to reconnect i have to quit the program, launch it again, and then connect. This is annoying after every phone call.
super wierd. and i've confirmed that this isnt an agile bug because like i said, my friends G3 does not have the same problem and we are running the same version AMST-WMPPC-57 of agile

I too have that same problem. My specs are in my signature.
I dunno what the problem is, because I remember it used to connect when I got off the phone. This started happening recently within the past month for me.
same thing on my treo 700wx
I was wondering if anybody had a fix for this. I have a stock treo 700wx with Sprint and have to login after a call to im+. I only use aim and gmail, neither of which would re-log back in. they would just say unable to connect to internet.I did not have to login after a call on agile messenger, but I am not paying monthly fees for agile. Any help would be appreciated.
Did you also try the alternative messengers? There are a lot of them. See the IM Bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295677 for more info.

Even for gmail/ gtalk I would recommen octrotalk www.octro.com. It reconnects and you can chose autologon/off for time and day. And the betaphase is forwarded to 15th of April.
Thanks Menneisyys, I read your posting about constant internet connected im problems. I never knew that was a common problem. I tried agile messenger and it reconnected, but it wasn't worth $30/yr for me. I liked im+ cause the affordable price. I emailed shapeservices, they were unaware about it being a problem.
Thanks for the suggestion Papamopps, I tried octrotalk, I had some issues with it. When I deleted it, it left some weird contact information on my buddylist when I continued using im+. It left [email protected]. for all my buddies. I was hoping that this im+ issue could have been resolved because I'm cheap...haha...seriously.
Thanks for the responses!
does anyone know of another app other than agile and IM+ that has a display in the today screen (shows how many people online, and how many messages you have.)? That is a must have for me. I've had too many problems with agile, and the IM+ interface bothers me for some reason.
First impessions, coming from a Symbian S60 user (E70, N95, then E50 most recently (today)).
Negative:
Phone loses connection with the carrier, during calls, then reports "No Service" on the home screen. This is with Orange UK.
I don't seem to be able to alter the contact display from Lastname,Firstname to Firstname,Lastname.
I don't seem to be able to specify exactly what "Peak times" means for Exchange ActiveSync.
I don't seem to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen, to save battery life.
The screen is crooked (it's not straight!).
No preview of new emails on the home screen. Just a number telling me there are some waiting to be read. I have to click buttons to see a new email, which I don't have to do on S60 w/active standby.
Positive:
The UI is very fast compared to my E50, which was a dog.
Screen is bigger and brighter
It's fast (I already said that..)
It does 3G, obviously, when it's not showing No Service. Orange haven't rolled out HSDPA properly here yet
and on that bombshell, this phone is for sale. To be replaced by a Nokia E65.
Any takers? - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=121290
Hi,
just a few comments...
Negative:
Phone loses connection with the carrier, during calls, then reports "No Service" on the home screen. This is with Orange UK.
I would say this is BECAUSE of Orange UK
I don't seem to be able to alter the contact display from Lastname,Firstname to Firstname,Lastname.
I am not sure if this works with the breeze but there is a hack for the Universal available to solve this
I don't seem to be able to specify exactly what "Peak times" means for Exchange ActiveSync.
Not sure what you mean
I don't seem to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen, to save battery life.
Using another operator would prevent switching from GPRS to 3G (and back) because of bad network connection, this saves more power

I just tried the Nokia E90 with active standby for a week and turned back to the Breeze. Even you see a part of the mail already you have to do something to read the whole mail or not??

The screen being crooked is prob. just a production glitch - mine is fine.
As for contacts showing wrong - not a problem here, I don't remmeber how but I either reverted them in outlook or by editing the contact to switch them back around.

Simple. In ActiveSync's Server settings (on the Breeze, not the PC), there is a sync schedule. I currently have that set to "As items arrive" under the "Peak times" section. Well, I want to define Peak as being 8am to 6pm, or 9am to 5:30pm, for example

Yes, you can. In Active Sync go to Menu->Schedule->Menu->Peak Times. There you can define Peak days, Peak start time and Peak end time.

I'm not trolling (honest guv! ) but I thought I'd give this Windows Mobile stuff a go, and the MTeoR seemed like the best idea because I wanted a candybar like my E50 but with 3G. HSDPA via firmware upgrade was a major bonus.
I did the firmware upgrade and discovered Orange UK don't have HSDPA much around this country anyway
I quickly realised that Windows Mobile just isn't quite right at all. It doesn't look or feel quite right whatsoever. It doesn't feel like a phone. It feels like a PDA running a phone application which works 80% properly.
I bought an E65 yesterday and I'm bloody loving it. I have TruPhone installed now and over my WiFi in the house I'm getting free UK landline calls, and reasonable calls to everywhere else in the world.
TomTom6 works.
I have an awesome calculator called Calcium.
Standby screen shows everything I want it to.
It just works.
The UI and behaviour has all the requirements for customisability you could want, although I admit it takes some time to figure out where everything is, with seemingly related options being in different areas/menus.
So, this MTeoR is still for sale and is in fabulous condition with HSDPA firmware on it and still under HTC Europe warranty. Any takers?
Let me ask you a question? which one do you do more often with your phone:
1. Read your email preview on your phone home screen to decide which email to read/pass
2. Make a call with your phone
With a Symbian S60 phone:
1. Just move cursor to email view
2. Example dial steve:
in Symbian you press Contact/Find, hit '7' 4 times, follow by '8', '3' 2 times, '8' 3 times and finally '3' 2 times before finally hit the Green button. Total= 1 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 14 times keypress to call Steve
With MTeoR:
1. Move Cursor to message and with one press you can see the Inbox list.
2. To dial Steve, you press '7', '8', '3', '8', '3' and finally Green button. Total 6 times keypress
The point I'm trying to make is that you need to familiarize yourself with the new OS before you can start appreciating its strength.
There are so many plugins that can be used to customize the Home Screen. Go to Juni site to get a preview of what you can actually do to the home screen.
http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/sp.html
Cheers!
Basically what you're saying is that there's no Predictive Text on the Contact List in Symbian. Fair enough. I see what you're saying.
I tried one of those homescreen plugin things.. Festi-something, or something which sounded like that.
It did all sorts, but no email on the front
Another thing.. I tried to dial my credit card company last night from the MTeoR.
I tapped in (very quickly):
08000288990
and what came on the phone was something like:
8288990
Perhaps it was up to something in the background.. I guess I'd have to go (hmm) start -> settings -> memory -> running applications -> stop applications
to stop them eh?
Just hold down main menu on Symbian.
OK OK I'm only joking, just winding you up. I already know there are good third-party task manager applications available. I've had plenty of PocketPCs before. Never got on with them one bit. Except, oddly enough, a Palm Tungsten.
I guess that's it. I just seem to dislike the feel of Windows Mobile. It's basically still in the Windows 3.0 era, whereas the rest of me moved onto Windows 95, and then 2000/XP. This explains why I hate Windows Mobile ("it just doesn't feel right") and why I prefer Symbian Phones, and the only PDA I've ever actually felt was 'quality' was a Palm Tungsten running that PalmOS or whatever it is they use.
I'm not wrong. Windows Mobile is the equivalent (look & feel) of mobile operating systems as Windows 3.0/3.1 is of desktop operating systems.

Hello community!
I just wanted to see some input from you guys as far as what is your preferred anti-theft application for your Kaiser phone? There's a few applications out there, and the following is a short list of the most popular apps out there:
- WIMP (Where is my phone)
http://www.wimp-software.co.uk/
- MobileJustice
http://thinkabdul.com/2007/03/02/mo...monitor-sim-card-changes-via-gps-coordinates/
- Sprite Terminator
http://spriteterminator.com/
Theres a few more out there, and I am curious as to see which one has the best options and capabilities. Some of them have GPS tracking systems, others can wipe all your information remotely, either way they have the potential to become real handy in extreme cases.
If anyone has a story to share where they used these applications in a real world situation please share it with the community as well!
Thanks
Sprite
I have tried Remoteprotect, and Ultimate theft before Sprite Terminator. Remoteprotect works great but no GPS and Ultimate theft would not shut off when tested. It keeps forwarding the text and its also a gimick you have to buy it in three separte sections. So I would recomend Sprite Terminator.
you can also try this on http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/
free and working.
I am also interested in installing one of these programs. Is there anyone who has tried more than one of them? Which do you recommend?
does anyone know if there is any possibility that we could implement the HP security system for there new ipaq phones into other WM phones?
something like what is explained in the end of this video...

MODS. This thread should be in the general Kaiser forum....it would get more relevant views there I would think.

Thats cool, I was thinking of looking for a program that did this. You cant be too careful .
The only downside I could think of if the sim gets yanked out you´re screwed - right? :S
How does it work, does it trigger a GPS connection every couple of minutes?

yes i am also concerned for that aas well... but i remember reading up on one of those programs listed above that also works in the background even when the sim card get pulled out...
There was one I was looking at, don't remember the name now. Maybe it is one already listed. Anyway, you could go on the internet at any time and see on a map where your phone is, and if someone thought they were going to just take your SIM out and replace it with theirs the phone immediately sends you a text with the phone number of the new SIM card. I thought that was cool, because you would then know who was using your phone.

Wow awesome! Thx for this! The only thing to find out is how to hide it, and cook it with settings into a ROM.
These are all great programs but.....
I had my 8125 stolen and the crook just did a hard reset and the recovery software was gone. Luckily the bad guys had other bad habits and the cops found them. They recovered my phone but it was totally wiped clear, had been reinstalled with new music but no tracking software.
Because not just heavy users know how to do a hard reset the thing that is missing is having the tracking software burned into the rom so it can't be erased. I know this is quite A challenge. But when and if that can be solve we will have a good tool to protect our Under perfoming HTC devices (could not help that last part)
Cook the app into a ROM isn't that hard i think (also i haven't cooked a ROM until now, but seen tutorials which explain how) and in case of smartphonetracker the settings are saved in "settings.config" so we need to cook in a file which 'simply' copys this file into the "Program File" folder. Doesn't sound too hard but the "simply copy.." is may the biggest problem.
For sure nearly everybody who visit this forum is capable of flashing a new ROM and therefore can avoid tracking. But the bit more security is worth the effort, in my opinion.
I still don't understand.
Let's assume some asshole and steals your phone. Why do they do with it?
Option A - Re-sale. Surely this shouldn't be possible as the original owner of the phone will contact the network and the IMEI will be blocked.
Option B - Access to Data. You're device is password protected (right?) so they need that to get into the phone via activesync. As long as they don't switch it off, it might not lock the screen so they'd have to leave your SIM in... but then they'd surely be intelligent (they want data after all) go to flight mode and it won't be able to dial home. And then there's the media card.... even encrypted it probably wouldn' be hard to bypass. Surely the best you can hope for is to send a message and have the phone kill itself.
Option C - Phoning <insert foreign country>. Same answer as A.
Result is, I do not see how this software can be of real use. The best thing that I can think about for this software is someone can text you while you are driving and have it reply where you are on your behalf.
Or am I missing something?

Many Kaisers are not bound to their phone network. I can insert another sim card and use it without limitations.
well how about some thug takes your phone and isn't to savy tech wise. He doesn't take it because it's "the top of the line" driverless phone, no he takes it because it's shinny and looks expensive. So maybe they are smart enough to just turn it off for a little while but at some point they turn it on to check out what it does and to see if it works. I'm thinking at this point you get an email or txt with the gps location. Drop that into google maps, call the coppers, grab a chainsaw and head to where google leads you.

Here in the US IMEI blacklisting is not done on GSM phones. The phones are locked to the carrier though, but the phone can be unlocked.

Sorry this is not a accessory type of thing, but then again I suppose I could be.
But anyway, is there a SMS PC emulator available for Windows Mobile 6. I would like to be able to send and receive SMS MMS with my PC as a gateway. So an incoming SMS would display on my PC and I would be able to reply to the SMS from my PC, with my phone actually sending the SMS.
If there are any options I would really like some input. I am not really looking for a complete WM6 emulator, just a SMS gateway or emulator.

Dashwire
Dashwire was just what I was looking for, thanks. After a few days of using it I found that it is perfect when it is properly sync'ed. But it seems to loose sync often, but that could be that this is my 1st WM6 device, and I haven't quite found a proper way of keeping it running in the background. Even though dashwire said the did not support the verizon xv6800, but I told them that I had a different carrier of the same model and it appears to work.
Mymobiler, I could not get to work, although admittedly, I have not tried too hard to get it to work even though I do have use for a remote "desktop" for my WM6. Right after installing my virus scanner said it was trying to connect to the internet, and I told the program to deny the request. Why would it need access to the internet. Perhaps that is why it is not working. But like I said I have not really looked into why it's not working.
Thanks!

It's not that it needs to access the internet, just that it needs to access the network. ActiveSync connects via a "fake" network connection. By blocking MyMobiler, you prevented it from talking to the phone.
On dashwire, do you have it set to automatically sync? It works fine for me with that set.
Yeah, last night I took the time to actually read in detail the message about mymobiler, and now it works!
And as far as dashwire goes, it seems to work for a few hours and then it fails, until I close the program, and restart dashwire. I will give the settings a double check.
BTW: I was brave last night and flashed my phone to WM6.1 with GPS. It was very easy, a little confusing and got some conflicting instructions. Did not even have to call Verizon to authenticate!
Hi Guys,
I am coming from Symbian to Windows Mobile. I have a HTC Fuze and can't seem to figure a few things out.
1. In Nokia (Symbian) you can setup your email and other data services to use your home wi-fi when you are in home. When you are outside, it will use 3G/GPRS etc. automatically (once preferred access points are setup). I can't figure this out with HTC FUZE. Everytime I have to turn on and off the Wi-FI Connection (Connection Manager -> wi-fi ON or OFF). if I leave it on, it keeps popping up with networks that it finds. If I leave it Off, it doesn't use wi-fi to retrieve emails and other things when am at home. I am sure this should be easy... Help !!!
2. When I set my phone in Vibrate mode, it doesn't even play music through headphones. I have to set it "ON" mode for it to even play music. This is annoying. At work, I want the phone to be in vibrate mode but still listen to music through head phone every now and then and not worry about my phone ringing. Is there a simple fix? Am I missing something??
3. When the phone is in Vibrate mode, I would like it to vibrate for incoming emails. it does not do that.
4. What is the best recommended "TODAY" Screen plug-in/program for wm 6.5 other than the titanium one?
I am using NATF's Win 6.5 latest ROM.
I appreciate all your help.
Best,

1) I think you can go to Settings>personal>Sounds&Notifications and turn off the found new network notifications on the notifications tab (you also may be able to settings>wifi and change whether it scans or not, scanning seems like it would drain the battery)
2) The volume screen usually (depends on rom) has two tabs, one for sounds, one for ringer, so you could have sounds but vibe instead of ringer. Other than some 3rd party service that switches the volume settings based on the headphone port, i think that's about as good as it gets.
3) In that same settings>personal>sounds menu, you can change the new email notification to vibrate or sound and vibrate or whatever. it has to include vibrate in that setting though to vibrate ever.
4) I like the old-school HTC Home, or similarly SPB PocketPlus or SPB Diary. If you're looking for something fancier, lots of people use the Touchflo 3d (which can work in 6.5) or SPB Mobile Shell (there's a demo of version 3 on their website)
Hope I helped some, I know the windows mobile limitations can be annoying, but they're pretty minor overall (imho). All things considered, I've been a big fan for years, you just need to use a lot of 3rd party apps and tools.
Good luck, finding XDA was probably the best thing I ever did for my WinMo phone, hope you have the same experience.
Thank you very much for your reply. I can't seem to find the setting that you mention for turning off wireless scanning. Is this because of the ROM?
Also, if I have both Data Connection and Wi-Fi connection enabled, and say for example run Opera, how do you know which connection it is using? How do we change/specify the connection that opera uses? I am just using Opera as an example... bigger question is emails.

Hmm, I think I may have made that setting up
As long as your email account is set to use your Internet Connection (versus Work Connection), which should always be the default, and when you first connected to your wifi, it should have asked something like "This networks connects to: <radio buttons> The Internet, Work Network". As long as everything is "The Internet" you should be good. I don't know how to double check what connection it is actually using except looking at the activity light on your access point, but it should always use wifi over cellular data if wifi is available.
As far as the scanning / battery life, the performance slider in wifi was all i could find. I just use the Comm Manager to toggle wifi as needed, but admittedly I don't use it alot. I could see it being annoying.
So the nokia would know when you were by certain wifi spots and connect, without killing the battery life completely by having wifi on 24/7? That's pretty sweet...
I wonder if it just low power scans Wifi AP's every 5 min or so, maybe someone could make a similar WinMo Service?
I know this is way off topic for this thread, but if anyone has a more raphael specific programming guide, I'd appreciate a link.
I'm taking a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa457716.aspx
to see how hard programming is.
Both the headphone thing and the wireless thing would be nice to have as features. I'll see what I can do, but I've never developed for WinMo before, so absolutely no promises on anything =)
Thanks again, Friend.
You are right. I am not sure what happens in Nokia whether it does a low power scan or something... but when you turn off "Wireless scanning" in Nokia, it doesn't aggressively pop up available networks... thats all.
The way I used to do this in Nokia is through preferred access points. You would setup your wifi as your preferred and then the secondary access point would be AT&T network. Whether I use profimail (email client) or fring (chat voip client) they all had such a setting and somehow used wi-fi when I am at home without me doing anything.
BTW, the battery life did suck on my N95 8GB HTC so far has given me way better battery life than the Nokia.
For now, I will leave my WiFi On and see what happens.
The headphone thing is bizarre... I cannot adjust the phone volume only (1st slider bar on that screen) without adjusting the ringer volume. They move together on that screen. I am now in doubt of the ROM... so may be I will try just the plain vanilla Da_G ROM.
I need one general advice - For a newbie like me to winmo who is learning the basics of winmo, should I stay with stable, established ROMs than going to winmo 6.5 right now? should I go back to winmo 6.0? what do you think? Can you suggest a good ROM? I don't need/care to use the TF3D.
I get a lot of emails with attachments and one of the MAIN reason I came to HTC was the ability to edit/read/create Office documents. I will be happy if I can simply tune my HTC to be a good business user phone.
I appreciate your replies. Thanks much!!

As far as that goes, I've only used 6.5 for a few days, the deal breaker for me was SPB Diary not working (and SBSH Breeze, i tried both, they do the same thing). I NEED them for getting work done. For some reason it doesn't pull calendar data in 6.5, so I've always used 6.1 ROMS.
I'm actually recently back on EnergyRom2.0 from 4/16/09 (the version without TF3D is my favorite ROM ever, i think) but am tempted to tryout the Gen.Y R3 rom, which is a much newer 6.1 that's supposed to be stable, it's built off his popular HTC Diamond ROM and has the newer goodies like wifi data sharing built in. (i think)
Monx's ROMeos is on his site, you have to donate to get download access, but he has some very nice, fast, stable WM6.1 roms I've used before also.
I think at this point, at least with WM6.1, most of the established roms are fast and stable, it comes down to what you like bundled with it, and what looks good to you.
If you haven't seen it, I'd check out www.blownfuze.org, he talks more about 6.5 roms, and a LOT of other essentials for your phone. (in a very entertaining fashion)
