I've been looking around the forum and the web trying to find an installer, or any way to get myfaves onto a windows mobile phone, particularly the smartphone (2125/SDA)
Has anyone around extracted it (from the dash?) yet?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
you do realize the myfavs program is exclusive to tmobile as it does save your 'favs' serverside as you can change them via their account management webpage (noticed your sig ses at&t)
typically on the MDA I always had to call in to have this application pushed to my phone (tmobile has some sort of over the air push)

I have looked just about everywhere for a solution to my requirements but not only can not find one, but have also found next to no discussion on the subject anywhere on Google or many other forums out there so hence this post.
Basically, here's what I want Pocket MSN to do:
i) Allow proper notifications when new email arrives. i.e. Sound and vibrate, not just the a number of unread in the little a blue circle on the hotmail icon..
ii) Allow email to be sent immediately instead of having to got to "send and receive" each time.
iii) Allow me to send email attachments > 300K (or whatever the ridiculously small limit is).
iv) Auto sign-in for Messenger. Every time I loose my GPRS connection I have to remember to go back into messenger and sign-in again.
I scoured the registry but I'm afraid I am bit of a novice in this area and can not find anything that will do the job. Anyone out there have any ideas? Or is this something I need to pray for in a future Pocket MSN release?
For info, I have already applied the excellent MSN_Notify.cab that adds the "Messenger: Contact Online" and "Messenger: New message" notifications to the control panel. Both these options are an excellent start, but unfortunately they do not address the items in my wish list.
Also for info, I have GPRS permanently enabled on my T-Mobile UK MDA Vario using this nifty little reg entry:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\T-Mobile Internet\AlwaysOn = 1
Your thoughts and ideas greatly appreciated.
Bump.
Anyone.... ideas???
email MSN and ask them?
it will prob need the Pocket MSN Code Rewriting and will there for will be in an update IF MS choses to add these to pocket msn
Basically your Wishlist says it all. I started using Pocket MSN as an alternative push-mail method to Blackberry hence the latter is f***ing expensive. I haven't found solutions to the things you mentioned either but would highly appreciate a solution.
Hey all,
We're currently evaluating WinMo devices to replace blackberries in our company... thus far the results have been a mixed bag to say the least.
I look after an exchange 2003 environment (SP2) so we're push-email ready, however there's one big thing holding us up - IM.
On the blackberries, we use something called Blackberry Messenger which is capable of both online and offline messages, and pretty infallible. It runs in the background and whenever a user is online handles the sign-on and message delivery, likewise if a user is offline the network queues the message until they're back online.
I can't find anything like this for windows mobile, can anyone suggest soemthing I'm missing? until I have this we're stuck with blackberry...
TIA
German T-Mobile is offering a BlackBerry Software Addon for the MDA Vario - I started a thread a while back right here in the forum.
Since I have no use for Blackberry, etc. I have not installed/used it. But maybe its what you are looking for.
The only way to do (online) IM now on WM5 devices is via PocketMSN I think.
Dont know any alternatives (especially that can handle offline IM).
I'm new here, but....
I know on the PC there is a program that handles offline messaging and it is available on the PocketPC now too. It's called ICQ. You can send a message offline and the person will receive it when they logon.

Lemme know if that's what you're looking for.
you can use Agile Messenger.. Lets you use AIM/ICQ/Yahoo/MSN IM accounts. There's a thread someone in here that has the info on it.. just search the forums for Agile Messenger.
You might want to contact Jabber and work out somemthing with them, the idea's mentioned above are good but I know you need something internal (not somthing that has potential use for (ab)use/danger)

Any day now, M$ is gonna release mobile office connect. If you use office connect already this will move the IM client out to WM5.
You can try Saki,
It has the features you mentioned as well as integrated email, RSS feeds, and others. I know a company that chose to use this software and wizards instead of Blackberries.

Let's not forget Microsoft's Live Communication Server (LCS) 2005 with the office communicator SIP client.

ok, I'm a newbie with hella questions that were probably answered in the faqs, but I didn't see anything related to mac. I got missing sync, but I was wondering if there was a different way of installing cab files. I keep needing to mount it then load the cabs in. also is there a way to get the active sync thing to go away? (that message telling you to install the software on a pc). and windows mobile 6, how do I upgrade and how will that affect missing sync (I don't see anything on the website about compatibility).
then I got a few simple application questions;
I was looking for aim, whats the best application? I was hearing agile, but that it has a yearly subscription....also do these have the same kind of features as aim (well ichat), or is it just messages. (like I doubt there's file sharing, but what about sending and receiving hyperlinks)
photosharing: I saw something that said it allowed you to upload photos to places like photobucket, where can I find something like that?
and finally web browsing: any tabbed browsers or a way to have 2 windows open? or another browser in addition to explorer?
Where can i find the cab or exe file for the Sprint Vogue OZ Instant Messenger?
Update:
I found the file http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4933&d=1201854534

Oz Instant Messenger CAB
Thanks one and all for the assistance. As is often the case, I had the CAB on my Touch but did not/was unable to recognize it by it's given name. The thread that was suggested allowed me to track back and locate it.
To all: Have a joyous holiday season

i just installed this and when i try and run it,i keep getting a messege saying (the MD5 digests do not match (code 403) does anyone know what this means?)

Yes, it is free.
http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/
Download (it was hard for me to find at first, so it might be easier for the direct link): http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/download?get=winmobcab
"Palringo enables you to talk to all your contacts, whether they're using AOL® Instant Messenger®, Google Talk™, Yahoo!® Messenger®, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ®, Jabber® or Windows Live. You can also use Palringo to contact friends using iChat®, Apple's IM application."
Not for Vogue.
The posted Oz Messenger is for At&t and does not work with Sprint. My phone had a link for a Sprint version out of the box but not on cooked roms. Anyone have the sprint version or the link for it? It would suck having to flash back to stock rom just to get a single link.
And while Palringo was fancy it also drained my battery dry way too quickly which oz did not

Here's one for Sprint. It includes AOL, Yahoo! and MSN Instant Messengers. I'm still looking for the one that has Google Talk. If anyone has it, please post a link.
I've always had problems with bad delays with the Oz messenger. I tried Slick I think but it drained my battery horribly
Does anyone know how to contact the developers of Oz ? I have a particularly odd situation where I must have left my screen name logged in under a phone with this application and performed an ESN swap with a phone that does not have this app.
I'm getting encrypted data which is definitely looking for this application to interpret and Sprint is counting every one of these texts as an international and charging accordingly.
I have since logged in on the same phone (new line) and signed out/exited, but I'm not fully convinced this has solved the problem.
oz messenger for sprint q9c phone
if you are still needing the cab for this instant messenger, here it is. I was looking for it too.
OZ is limited to network - USE SLICK Messenger.
Best and simple YAHOO, GTALK IM works through your dataplan. Its a freeware.

Hi,
I have searched in this forum for similar topics but I didn't find anything which answered my question specifically so have started a new one.
I have just ordered my G1 (or Dream (sounds better)) for £35 a month with Unlimited Texts, 700 mins, unlimited internet and 11 months half price by redemption.
I have a few simple questions to ask about the phone and it's functions etc.
1) Ok so I am in the UK. From what I've gathered, the UK G1 doesn't allow you to use MSN Messenger with the default IM Client. I was woundering if there was any patch or something like that to open up the MSN Messenger capeability on the IM client?
2) How do items such as contacts work? Are they stored on the phone or are they displayed on the phone and only stored on the Gmail server? I have heard that the Android software is pretty much "cloud" software and it works in sync with Gmail however, I would be worried If I went somewhere with little network coverage and couldn't view my contacts beause of lack of internet connection.
3) Is there any solution for the no flash on the camera?
4) Anything else you would reccomend for an Android Newbie? Does anyone regret switching from WM to Android?
Thanks everyone

hi!
1) nope, the UK (or RC8) firmware does not come with the MSN application. If you want to have this feature you must flash the US (RC33) firmware. (makes no difference, except the numbering system is confusing as hell but works normally.) Also, you can only really use it connected to wifi, because if you use the MSN app over 3G, it uses SMS for the messeges rather than data (just noticed you have unlimited texts, so this wont be an issue for you ).
2) all your contacts are 'synced' to the phone from your gmail account, after the 'sync-ing', you will not need to be connected to the internet to view, add, or edit contacts. but when you do get a connection it *should* automatically sync up, adding the contacts to your account. You can also add contacts from a simcard.
3) As it stands, no. unless you have a torch handy
4) Can't say anything about WM as i've never had it. I would certainly recommend rooting your phone (don't worry about legal issues, it apparently doesn't void your warrenty and even t-mobile are linking people here to get instructions on how to do it ). once rooted, you can load up edited firmwares, allowing you to do all sorts: adding multi-touch, auto-rotation, installing Debian on your phone, changing from UK/US to Developer firmware and installing the many different themes avaliable.
oh, rooting (and installing the Hard SPL Bootloader) also makes your phone virtually 'un-brickable', software wise. so thats another reason to do it
have fun
