Which instant messenger app are you using????

Weird, Palringo was amazing on WinMo back on the 6800 and Touch Pro. Sad to see no official Yahoo or AIM Client just yet. hopefully soon. E-buddy is working well enough for the time being but it isn't great.

Palringo was assuredly great on Win mo... Took a big face plant on Android tho...

Yep... Sad no official... Hoping they get on it... Desperately hoping.

Haha... Ahhh... Rereading this thread, I was wondering about that... Good idea.

on Ebuddy, anyone else have problem with myspace chat? everyone is offline?
or is that for like the old school version of myspace IM before they added the facebook style web bar chat?

I love eBuddy, never have any problems with it.

I just came to the Droid from a storm. What's the best I'm like bbm group chat?

I have Handcent installed. Every time I get a text I get TWO notifications, one from Handcent and one from the stock messaging app. How do I fix this?

Go into the regular messaging app, go to settings and then turn them off.

Anyone know of a good IM / Instant Messenger app that alerts you when a contact signs on or becomes available?

My inferior BB Storm used to do it. It was even able to set a custom "available" tone for each contact. I know my droid has to have an app that does that.

I havent finish reading all the post here, but for those of you that are complaining abt being dissconected on meebo or any other im app theres an xplanation for it, unless you app goes to a hold state this will happend everytime you get a call. this is just because 3g cdma doesnt allow data and voice to be use at the same time. is a tecnology matter not the app.
3G gsm lets you do it and all of us on verizon will be able to use it too by the end of the year(in some markets) once they launch their life 4G LTE network.

Well I'm on the Evo and I've YET to get it to sign on to aim using Meebo. I can't understand why NO other handset does sms/chat apps like the Pre. All conversations are merged- regardless how you're talking to your contact. Man I miss that.

Hopefully someone out there can answer this question for me....

I miss the integration on the Pre as well but Meebo is pretty cool, I'm not having any issues really

 

[aznmode]

Does Meebo or ebuddy allow for multiple AIM or Yahoo accounts to log in. I come from WM and was used to using Beejive.

 

[stormed]

I have always used the default AIM client but recently when trying out spare parts, I noticed that AIM seems to keep the phone from going into a sleep state (spareparts->battery history -> Partial wake usage)

Do any of the 3rd party apps handle this better?

 

[barrysanders20]

Meebo user here. I've used it on a Droid Eris and an Evo. I haven't had any of these problem about signing in.

 

[tealturboser]

Running Driod on 2.2
I use Meebo but lately it has been force closing a lot on me. I use the Official AIM, Yahoo and Google apps. I just need one for MSN and I'll be set.

Palringo, eBuddy and IM+ dont have the best Looking UI. They also all will disconnect in the background and still have the icon in the notifications so it looks like you are still signed on but arent.

I too was a big fan of one app for all IM programs but non of them do a good job. I am waiting to see if BeeJive comes out with an Android app because they were the best hands down one the BB platform. Maybe if Trillian makes an app that one will be good as well.
