Nimbuzz all the way... used to use Palringo but Nimbuzz includes Skype and has a cleaner way of displaying the protocol icons.

That happens to me once in a while. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Make sure you have the latest verision of Palringo. Go here for latest beta: http://beta.palringo.com/

2. If you have the latest you might want to uninstall, soft reset, reinstall and do another soft reset.

Nimbuzz/Palringo scrolling doesn't work with wm6.5 for me :(. I actually prefer the beejive interface but the service isn't as stable.

Re: Instant Messaging -which one are you using?
 

it cost $ but the new version of im+ is working great for me, same best battery life as palringo

Re: Instant Messaging -which one are you using?
 

I don't understand how/why my battery dies within a couple hours of running an IM program. I've tried Palringo/Nimbuzz/Slick and they all kinda bring me down from 100% to atleast 50% in 2-3 hours of sitting idle.

Just so you guys know, I like to just stay online and be available for anyone who wants to message me (co-workers). For this, running the app and being online is a big thing for me. If battery takes such a bad hit, then how do these apps expect to gain a user's confidence?

Re: Instant Messaging -which one are you using?
 

Devileyezz, I've never used an IM program that didn't drain my battery rapidly. I usually see about 10% per hour. But it really depends on how much you are messaging. I think this is just the reality of using a program that constantly uses data. Personally, I use AIM the most so I forward my IMs via sms when I'm not logged in on a client (desktop/mobile). I also use AIM2TXT when I'm not having a lengthy conversation, that's when I switch to Beejive/Palringo. If you need other services, maybe try OZ messenger or whatever app uses sms instead of data (that is if you get unlimited sms).

Re: Instant Messaging -which one are you using?
 

i dont think there are anymore im clients that uses strictly sms or sms at all. If there was I would use that primarily.

Re: Instant Messaging -which one are you using?
 

Yeah, haven't heard about any for a while. Thought maybe the old ones worked? I know when I tried OZ a while ago, it just didn't work very well.

Re: Instant Messaging -which one are you using?
 

SMS is a good idea, however I would want it on an "enable only basis" meaning when I leave the house, I want my IMs via SMS. Then when I'm home, I can "turn it off".
