AIM Android finally available!

[entwined82]

Its in the market. I'm so excited. So long e-buddy.

Meh, Meebo is great, I don't want seperate apps for each protocol

 

[entwined82]

For some people (like myself) that only use gchat and AIM this is pretty nice. Meebo seems to be quite a battery drainer too.

What is the app called?

 

[entwined82]

AIM. Maker is AOL Mobile Go to market and search for it, it'll be the first result.

 

[iJason#WN]

Got it thanks. Is anyone else having issues with notifications? I have sounds enabled and my ringer is on max but when I get an IM there is no sound.

 

[Jared DiPane]

Wonder if this will be a battery drainer like Meebo. Lookin forward to seeing what people have to say after a couple days of use.

 

[entwined82]

Sounds seem to be broken. Volume is turned all the way up and there isn't any sound when sending or receiving on. It is on in settings but not coming through.

Not a dealbreaker just yet but it definitely needs to be fixed. Then again this is a first release so I'm sure an update will come out soon enough. LED notification would be cool too.

Also it needs to have the double space = . implemented into it. Not a bad start but its a little rough.

 

[Jared DiPane]

A lot of 3rd party applications dont seem to have the standard dictionary with like double space for period and such. kinda stinks!

 

[entwined82]

I never noticed, this is the first time I've come across it on any Android app and I have something like 25 installed.

Looks well done. Wish there was contact integration. I like the Facebook Chat though

This is to me hilarious.

While I realize there are still some non-AOL users who use AIM, I'm pretty sure that the overlap between AOL users and android users has got to be tiny.

Stupid people should not be allowed to use smart phones. :-D

 

[kingofny#IM]

thank god, a reliable app that i can use aim and fb chat in one.......good bye palringo

 

[tealturboser]

You to me is hilarious. You make no sense at all. AIM is just messaging, you do not need to use AOL email to have a screen name.
But you are right stupid people shouldnt be allowed to use smart phones

Its a mobile messenger service no different than gchat, msn, yahoo, etc.

What does AOL have to do with anything?

Ever hear of the term "legacy"?

Just because I prefer Google Talk doesn't necessarily mean that every single person I talk to has switched over from AIM.

On another note, anybody else having difficulty reordering their groups? Maybe I need to try doing it from within AIM, e.g. a piece of software that AOL actually created.

OK, stupid question . . . I can see fb info under lifestream, but how do you get fb chat going? The option is grayed-out for me.

 

[seakarrots]

im having the same problem with facebook chat

 

[gus_mccrae]

I've deleted & re-added my fb services to lifestream but no success yet.
