I like palringo, but when i close the program it logs me out. Is there something i'm not doing right?

palringo is sweet... I have an older (probably cracked) version of IM+ and it was okay but extremely basic/boring. and it had its bugs but it got the job done... i downloaded palringo and i love it! keeper.

Occasionally it has some log on/log off issues, and it doesn't support myspaceIM yet, but that hardly matters when I can drive down the road and use the VOICE IM feature to talk to my IM friends, instead of having to try to enter texts. Easy Peesey photo sending is just icing on the cake.

Palringo all the way.

Have you tried using it while roaming? It seems as it's a known issue with the HTC Mogul not being able to connect when roaming. Actually it doesn't seem to like 1x connections either. Seems to only work while on EVDO.

Are you sure that's true? Every time I exit the program it says "you will log out if you exit, are you sure you want to do that?"

I love Slick. But its not really free when you consider the cost of buying an extended battery just to run it! I just purchased a 2800mah battery pretty much for Slick. My battery would last the day normally, but after using Slick I'm lucky if I get in 8 hours. What could make it use so much more power than other "connected" IM apps?

I have a full purchase of Agile Messenger for Windows Mobile (+ all future updates of 3.xx) and I still prefer Palringo because it keeps me logged in to their service while I'm on a phonecall and sends the messages down when I get off the phone and data resumes.

If Palringo had an easier way to select different active chats and the ability to browse for pictures I've already taken I might even consider paying for it.

Agile does not keep me logged on and it has an old interface (GUI more like WinCE than WM6) but it does tab the different active chats and I can rename any file extention to jpg and send it over their service : )

i use Jivetalk which is by far my favorite im app, its got a fantastic UI, fast, stays on even when phone is asleep and its just all around amazing

I'm not sure how your exiting the program, but I just hit the x button

If you have not installed some sort of "X" program (that REALLY closes a program when you hit X), you are just minimizing it to the taskbar. So it is still running and using the same amount of memory as if you had it up on your screen. The nice thing is that Palringo uses very little memory, so it's not so bad. But you definitely haven't exited the program by pressing X.
