IM program for Sprint.

[courtlandre]

Anyone know of a good IM program that is smart enough to not get disconnected all the time?

I have used IM+ and Fring and both disconnect during calls and when sending text messages. Of course this happens because the phone switches to 1X.

But what I want is one that knows to reconnect after the phone call.

Both right now try to reconnect, but cant because I am in a call. When the call is over they have already passed their "retries" and it never reconnects unless I manually do it.

So again, anyone know of a good program that works well with sprint?

None of them work that well, i guess i should say...they work well when they connect, which is usually about 50% of the time you want to use them

EDIT: my Samsung A900 worked great, I will sell it to you cheap!

The phone works great, just the IM programs arent smart enough to reconnect after I am off the phone.

Yea i wish they had an im program like the sidekick when on a phone call it just standsby until there is internet activity 1nce again ne 1 no ne like that

palringo reconnects for me, but aol doesn't always log back in because it tells me that i've been disconnected and reconnected too many times

It (insert whatever PPC IM app here) won't work like the sidekick because the sidekick IM is integrated into the phone with all data going through Danger's servers before it ever goes out to the internet. So Danger maintains your AIM connection even when having a call.

Well your carrier isn't going to do this obviously if they didn't pay to have the IM client built into the phone.

The only exception is text messaging based solutions because it doesn't require a constant data connection to stay connected. But the Mogul doesn't have OZ IM either.

just use the old aim for ppc uk version and setup aim to forward messages to your phone via text thats the best solution ive come up with. you will never miss messages and if you have to sign back in. Or just reply to messages via sms

I fuck with Slick.

I just installed palringo to keep in touch with my gmail contacts. So far pretty cool but the only annoying thing is that when I am actually chatting in gmail, I sometimes get doubles of the messages in palringo. Also the choices for notification are either a really annoying beep or nothing. It would be nice if they only notified you if it is not maximized otherwise I could leave notification on. As it is I have to turn it off to keep it from beeping constantly during a conversation.

I might try Slick instead.

hey specv, with the forwarding can you sign on and off with that or is it an all day type of thing, like if I want to be signed on but not with the IM client just have it through sms, and I do it that way, and then sign off when Im finished.
