There is a new one that does them all (AIM, MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, ICQ, and Jabber) that is currently free and Java based. I quit using IM+ (which I paid for) and am using it exclusively. Currently the beta testing is closed while I think they upgrade their servers, but should open up again shortly I think).

It is supposed to be for the crackberries, but works great on my Dash and K-Jam:

Octro: www.octro.com

Free during beta. Big thing about it is it does Google Talk (VOIP) over 3g or even just 1x speeds.

Also does IM with GTalk, AIM, Y!, MSN and ICQ. It has a nice today plugin, customized away messages and auto-login/logout.
[HTC Excalibur] siii:
Works on my Excalibur and Blackjack..
[HTC Excalibur] fire00:
I find Octro little bit strange as I don't see all of my contacts there and also Octro does not download the "nicknames" from ICQ server so I see only their IDs :-)
[HTC Excalibur] FourXX:
Anyone know where I can get the OzInstantMessenger cab?
[HTC Excalibur] .PoNeH:
Agile Messenger is all you'll need. There are some annoying bugs here and there, but for the features it has, I believe it is the best option out there.
[HTC Excalibur] monakh:
Wow, I have been using Octro for Gtalk but I had no idea that they also supported Y! and MSN! Is this a a new feature? I just updated mine like 3 weeks ago. That's wonderful (makes my paid version of IM+ looks positively lame).

Edit: Ahh, I am running v1.0 and v1.01 onwards added support for multiple chat clients. How fantastic!
[HTC Excalibur] McHale:
it used to be until they unleashed that crazy pricing scheme. Plus, I get errors on staturp from it. It's never been the most stable either.
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
1.03 just came out about 3 days ago. It now adds vibration to the smartphone edition (which was lacking). It enables automatically in the "meeting" profile, etc.

such a great app. I'm hoping they add some SMS relay to the system too to save battery life (like Verichat had)...
[HTC Excalibur] chiefbb:
McHale, did you have to do anything special to get JiveTalk running on your Dash or KJam. What version did you install? I am wanting to load this on my P3600 if at all possible, but I am getting java errors.

Thanks,

Shawn
[HTC Excalibur] dasupaman23:
I would also like to know how you got Jive Talk on the Dash. I just switched from a Pearl and liked using it on the BB, I would love to have it on my Dash tho. Any info would be great.

MSN Live

Is there a way just to get MSN Live from WM6 into WM5? Does anyone has it that could share it?
[HTC Excalibur] jt76542:
Doesn't work for my says unsuccessful installation.:(
[HTC Excalibur] Phasma343:
I am able to start it up, then I get the txt message error. It says something about J2ME in the txt message, so im thinking it needs J2ME to run properly?
[HTC Excalibur] bigjoe87865:
I NEED SOME HELP REALLY BAD...

after installing this... and when it asked me to restart the phone...

i did...

and now it wont start back up.... it keeps being stuck at the splash screen... the green windows screen...

what do i do?... i tried taking out the battery and everything...

it wont connect with active sync either.
[HTC Excalibur] surfing10:
Just take out your SD card .. will work ..

BTW, this update also got me boot loops.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
HI,

Very sorry for the inconvenience - some users have reported failure to install. I have reup'ed the .cab install. It should work because I just installed it on another PPC windows mobile 5 device (not smartphone) and it installs. Must of been something corrupted in the .cab

So it's a refresh now - hopefully it will work - if not, I will go fix it <again> :D

Thanks,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Isn't working yet. Can't install the program
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Did you just install the IMSMS_Install.CAB version? (get it from the same Tutorial page link @initial post)

It's a completely new installer built from scratch. I am about to throw this workstation out the window (if I can lift it) because this installer packaging is really pissing me off.

See if the new installer works for you - again, be sure your device is application unlocked as well.

Thanks!!

---DSO
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Installer fixed!

FIXED!

Seems like the STUPID COMCAST hosting corrupted my .cab file! I was pulling my hair out - until I realised it was corrupted every time I uploaded the file!

Please go to the main site and download the IMSMS_Install.zip

It will INSTALL now :) (like you haven't heard that one before ;)

---DSO

Messages saved:

All messages are saved in your DEVICE\My Documents\IMSMS_Logs\ folder (or \My Documents\IMSMS_Logs\ ) full path. They are saved internally as XML files – with the core engine rendering them into an HTML file for viewing. In the next release, there will be an archiving function that will generate the backup files for you on the fly and allow XSLT translations into readeable offline message logs. You can now just drag & drop any of the log files you see in your \My Documents\IMSMS_Logs\ folder for viewing on your desktop.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Working Like Charm

The new IMSMS. zip file is working like a charm, now I will continue on with the setup getting all my phone numbers setup with the +1. I will let you know how things work out for me. Again thanks a million.......!
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
No thank you for checking it out ;)

BTW - as of NOW, the zip file contains a newer build - some PPC/HTC TOUCH/WVGA users experiences slight issues with sending text, font issues, and screen orientation issues. I have addressed these issues in the new .zip file. Just go download it from the web page.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
What is the message "index out of range exception", what does it mean?
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
It depends on what you were actually doing - at what process did you get the message? Most of the messages are handled - and the app won't crash on you.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
I got that message when pushing in the center "D" pad button, it came up after the message was sent. Again it say " IndexOutOfRangeException"
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
It's how the engine generates the chat logs. If there is an error message, it just means that your message was sent - but the chat log probably didn't update the message you sent. You can do this for now:

CLEAR ALL CHAT LOGS (this will erase all your logs) - you can just back these up yourself - open up your windows explorer and browse your DEVICE's \My Documents\IMSMS_Logs\ folder - copy all the files INCLUDING the Anon\ directory (everything you see) onto your desktop/or any folder. This will save your logs.

I have an external program that will parse the XML data logs and render HTML files so you can view them on your desktop. You can also view each .htm file anyway - the external program will do a better job of creating a viewable log file.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
I'm off for the day - I'll be back later!

Latest build: 0.9.2833 (fixes)

regarding "Technology"'s question about the error - I debugged the core engine a bit more and now it's much refined. It should not give you any problems - at least I hope it won't ;)

some questions regarding:

Emoticons are in the software - just type them out:

Go to the MENU->Emoticons-> you will see a small listing (I just put in most common emoticons at the moment) - when you click on the menuitem, it won't add it for you - it does however display the text needed to type in for the emoticon you selected. Just type it in.

NExt build will be better - I just need the core engine running smoothly - before I add more UI tweaks, visual enhancements. Actually the option to set color for text, date/time format, sizes, is already in this new .2833 build. I just need a bit more time to make sure it's not bugged.

Thanks again for all your feedbacks. Enjoy it and don't rack up too much $ for sending IM lol (lucky for me, I have a Tmobile messaging package )
[HTC Excalibur] johnnycs:
I'm able to start it up, but it cannot connect to AIM, a network communication error.
[HTC Excalibur] jt76542:
Got it to work. Very nice job. :)

[HTC Excalibur] travishamockery:
Any chance to get a screenshot or two up here? I'd like to see it before I try it out since I'm already using a stable threader. Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
The images are in the tutorial - which is in the link on the first page/first post:

New Window Live rejects wifi?

I'v tried new version of windows live messenger which is said to be without contacts copying problem. But I cannot connect via wi-fi because of so called connectivity problem. I'm using HTC GER WM6 Official, Thx!
[HTC Excalibur] _PaPaUpA_:
hey man you can post there modified splash5-gsmmfgdata.nbh here for the htc wm6 rom please
[HTC Excalibur] seu2002:
I have found the reason. After I uninstalled the Chinese language pack, I can log in via wifi or usb or bluetooth.
[HTC Excalibur] phatman81:
Looks very nice... does this work for the PPC platform also? ( i have a T-Mo Wing -herald- and run WM6)

EDIT:It installed and seems to run (havnt recieved an SMS yet...), but for some reason there is no shortcut to the application in the programs menu...

EDIT2: (removed known issue listed in the website (enter/center button not sending))
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Updated! BUILD 2950!

New TUTORIAL/FEATURE GUIDE/DOWNLOAD

Now includes ONEVIEW and muchmore!

SEe tutorial (which is UPDATED as well) for breakdown of features!

Thanks!!!
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Please take another look (Friday, 10/5/07):

http://home.comcast.net/~ddtsoft/IMS...saging_SMS.htm

I have updated build to .2990! ** DYNAMIC ALERTS ** AND NEW GUIDE!

Includes ONE VIEW!

check out the tutorial for more fixes, etc.

You'll like it more!
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Hi -

SMS service number sent from any network is in this form:

(+1) country code,

(425) area code,

(1112222) 7 digit calling number.

Depending on your country, you adjust accordingly. You must have this format or else the lookup fails. IMSMS will still intercept all sms regardless of whether you have it in the above format- it will drop the message in an anonymous chat log be default if it's not in the correct format or is an unknown number (not in your system contacts book) - if you want all INSTANT MESSAGING like features, you must use: +14251112222 format.

THis is true for most if not all WinMobile devices. If you leave out the +1 in your system contacts book, using the built in Windows Mobile SMS inbox, it will still fail to display the sender's name filed in your contact book because you are missing that +1. If you have 1 (425) 111-2222 (spaces, dashes, parentheses, all will fail lookup by windows mobile default SMS inbox as well).

Please download build .2991 at post #1 (there are important fixes!). New tutorial guide available as well.

Thanks!!
[HTC Excalibur] infamous54:
i tried downloading this from the link on the first page but its reading as a zip file, not a cab file. help?
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
it is a .CAB but it's compressed to a .zip file.

Just extract the .zip file and you will see the .cab file.

Build .2991 fixes the long time bug - where PocketPC pro users (htc touch, etc., wvga users) could not send the message with their "enter" or "middle" button.

this build fixes that now.
[HTC Excalibur] MountainDrew:
This isn't true. The default SMS client handles spaces, dashes, and parenthesis just fine. In fact, if you type a number into your desktop Outlook client as +14251112222, Outlook will automatically add all that in, storing it as +1 (425) 111-2222 in your address book and sync it that way to your phone. I've never had any issues with that format using the default SMS app.

I also get the "index out of range error" when I send messages, using the .2991 build on S621 with WWE WM6.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Hi,

These issues will be resolved in the next release build - you are correct when you say the system will look up your phone number - but the number must still be MOBILE NUMBER at least. Thank you for bringing this up because it is one item that is on top of priority list to improve upon.

The failure you receive is due to the number not matching the format I specified in your phone book - +14251112222. As long as you have it in that format for this build, everything will be fine - IMSMS will still capture the incoming SMS to the chat log (anonymous) ifyou dont have it in the above format. I will make sure all these nonsense will go away - i promise! :)
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
This is the app I have been waiting on to replace the Palm Messaging on my Dash. From what I can tell, the software displays each SMS conversation using Pocket IE? I love the ability to scroll between friends to view the different conversations, that really beats having to crash the Palm program and reopen it. I did notice that if you don't have a contact checked in your friends list and they send you a message, the app will pick it up as long as it is running. The message appears when you add that contact in your friends list. Now for my 2 cents: The orange and black backgrounds on the friends scrollbar and message area could be different or customizable. I can live with the number format (+1xxxxxxxxxx) since I don't have many contacts in my phone although it would be nice if the program could use other formats. This is a great application! Many thanks for this!

Forgot to mention I am running the HTC WWE WM6 ROM (1.27.405.1)
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Thank you for your feedback - don't worry, there will be customizable features coming up - the core engine can be wrapped around any UI. I am not a graphic artist - I am a "practical" type of guy - to me, the meat is what counts, not the skin.

BUT - of course, I am still tweaking the engine a bit to refine it more. I have a ton of work to finish up - but it will be soon before I can release a final 1.0 which will be very good - at least to my standards. Right now, i have it running 24/7 and so far so good. I will address the "contacts" book issues. I have to tweak the way SMS service number's arrive on cell phones - currently, they arrive as: +14251112222 format. I am working on a few optimised ways to allow different numbers and formats.

It will sweet when I get to it. However, all your SMS messages are safe with IMSMS. Just archive them andyou will have a copy of them to view at any time (if it's important to you). The Dynamic alerts is also unique as well. One View is also very useful for some. I am getting feedback from many and combining the best of the best in this app.

Thanks for using it - believe me, it will be even better than it is NOW when I handle some more optimizations.

:)

[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:

[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Hi,

It should work for the UK - as long as your SMS service centre accepts SMS messages ;)

Go ahead and check out the new download build and TUTORIAL - it has alot of new stuff!

:)

cheers,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] MountainDrew:
Awesome. Thanks for the hard work. I'll be trying this out later today, I'll let you know how it works.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Definitely try out build .3162!!

My favorite is the Sound Notifcation Alert - It will play every 60 seconds to notify you of an unread message. No more having to guess ;-)

It has 3 new features!

* big fix on Dynamic Alerts.

* Audio Alert Paging (if you missed a message, it will page you every 60seconds!)

* Auto Display - brings IMSMS back to the top level whenever you get an incoming message!

* SMS Notify - to allow other apps to work with IMSMS! ;)

Thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] infamous54:
question. i have no problem sending messages but i just cant get the receiver messages to show up in the chat box. help?
[HTC Excalibur] driguez:
same problem here
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Please consult the online manual:

http://home.comcast.net/~ddtsoft/IMSMS/Instant_Messaging_SMS.htm

it has full screen shots for instructions - simply put, IMSMS will store your messages in either one of two logs: THe respective friends log or the "anonymous" chat log.

Numbers must adhere to the format: +14251112222 but you can include spaces, hyphens, () parentheses. BUT you must have COUNTRY CODE, yes, a (+) PLUS symbol followed by your country code, the AREA CODE, then the rest of the dialing digits like so: +1 (425) 111-2222

You then select the contacts from your system phonebook and add them to IMSMS' friends list.

Latest build that you should install is: BUILD .3612 <----that's a TWO!

Get it from the download link above (online manual/tutorial guide).

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] infamous54:
i know what im lookin for is under "receiving messages" but i cant find the answer to my solution.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
What device do you have? Which OS rom version and what build version are you running?

Perhaps if you give me a little more info, I can assist you.

Thanks!

PS, do you see the numbers listed when you try to ADD/REMOVE friends?

If you see an entry in the above screen, then you can add them to your friends list. Which network/country is your device set in?
[HTC Excalibur] infamous54:
im located in houston, tx and i have a tmobile dash running on rom version 1.22.531.6.

p.s. yes i did everything in the above picture as stated.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Are you running WM6 upgraded? or WM5? Which build #? Build .3160 has issues with adding contacts - and receiving contacts! You should have .3162 - check your build # first please

It will work for both - I just want to know exactly - you can do this for now:

Go to Action menu -> Clear Friends List. This will remove all friends you have set-up. After clearing out your friends, go ahead and select ACTION->Add/REmove Friends. Select YOUR OWN NAME. If you don't have an entry for yourself, just add one:

Action Menu -> Create a new contact

save that, go back to the ADD/REMOVE menu -> your name should now show up with your Mobile telephone number.

Make sure it reads: +1 (area code) your 7digit number.

Check the box - hit ADD (left soft key). It should now show up in your orange box. Write an SMS to yourself. SEe if you can receive it.

thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] infamous54:
oh im sorry im running on wm6. i have the built # 0.9.3100. i did everything u said about adding myself as a friend. the message still shows up as a regular text message and not on the chat log.
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
1) Is there any way that the device profile can control the sound? I have a meeting profile that has no sound, but IMSMS still makes a sound, and boy can it be loud in church.....

2) Can notifications be changed as far as what exactly the sound is?

3) I have an unusual problem where the entire message does not appear in the anonymous log file. I can see the entire message by looking in the XML file, but there is something goofy when it converts it to HTML.

I realize that this is a fairly new program that so far works fabulous. Just asking or making suggestions.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Build .3100 is OLD - the latest is .3162! :)

download that one and try it out - the .3100 is now dumped and no longer used.

Try the new one and the let me know how it works for you please!
