IM+ for Android, a major update and discount!

[vit_]

I use Meebo IM on my Droid.... but this program looks amazing! Has anybody else used these? How do they compare?

IM+ has all the IM services that Meebo does, and featuring even more - Skype and MySpace, group chats in MSN and Skype, geo-status and geo-location sending, chat or history sending by email.

I had used the free version earlier. But due to some probs. like UI, frequent disconnection etc. i stopped using it.... can i have any key ( free one if you can provide) for the pro version so that i can compare to other app. too.

Sorry, but we've run out of licenses for this time. Check back this thread, we're gonna make another givaway in Christmas. Meanwhile, maybe you'll try free 3.3 version and tell us about your experience?

 

[rkkeller]

Thank you for the code and I will report my findings. I have used IM+ many times before, even been a beta tester, on the BB, Windows Mobile, iPhone and now Android. I also use your RDM+ and love it.

I will update on battery life for my EVO as I can but I don't think it will be good. Not an IM+ problem really but almost everything that stays active on the EVO drains the battery quickly.

I will try not to use my EVO for many other things during this test. I started IM+ with a full charge at 8:45am EST and using two providers (AOL and Yahoo) will see how it goes.

Thank you very much Vit for the code. I really appreciate it.

Where would you like us to post our feedback and suggestions for future IM+ releases?

For example, IM+ seems to drain the battery more then the other IM client I use on my EVO. Battery drainage is a huge issue for everyone, so I would like to provide that feedback as well as future feedback.

Thank you again for the code,
Whiteice

You can post everything right in this thread, I'm working in close collaboration with our devs, so they will hear your wishes. I told them about battery drainage, and they're making optimizations and improvements.

One thing I just noticed.

A friend that is online right now in Yahoo on my computer is showing as offline in IM+.

 

[vit_]

Also,

2 more questions if I amy:

1: I don't see anyplace within the IM+ client I am using currently to enter the code. What is the correct way of using IM+ with the code you provided?

2: With the code you gave us, does this entitle us to upgrades to newer version in the future as they are released? Is this a lifetime code?

Thank you,
Whiteice

Try this: open settings at contact list screen, choose 'More', and then 'Registration'. And sure, the code is a lifetime.

Thanks, it's getting to be a known issue, we're fixing it.

I went on break and was going to fool with it some and none of my contacts from either AIM or Yahoo show up. I do not see anyone online at all but when I check on a computer some are online.

I can still test it for battery life.

 

[rkkeller]

Does IM+ auto reconnect? I just went to use it and all my services were signed off. I dont have the power saver mode checked.

Maybe in a future version when IM+ is in the top status bar instead of just saying "IM+ Pro is running", you could add something about if no accounts are signed on.

I kept seeing the "IM+ Pro is running" thinking that meant I was still signed in so I never checked further. Then when I did look all accounts were signed off.

Hi Vit,

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately, when I click on settings once I am signed in, I only have 3 options: "General" "Notifications" and "Advanced" None of these have any options within them for "More" or "Registration."

Version 3.3 downloaded from the Android Marketplace.

Sorry, my bad, go to 'More' instead of 'Settings' (I just called this whole pop-up menu 'settings').

 

[rkkeller]

Any workaround or things to try for the contacts not showing up until a fix is out? I am pretty much at a standstill as none of my AIM or Yahoo contacts that are online show.

I am also having the same issue aswhiteicedmstech with entering the code. There is no option call 'more' when I click on the menu.

On the free, I noticed that offline messages have the time stamp of when you logged in and NOT when the person sent you the message. This gets confusing in deciding if the person just message you or if it was an offline message. I find that the app lags a bit compare to IMO and MSN Messanger app.

 

[rkkeller]

Go here and click "download" not the "download free".


IM+: Instant Messaging for Android OS :: Android :: Products


Then find it on your phone with a file manager and run it. The first time you start it it will ask you to register and enter your code.

Atleast this is what I did and it worked.

Been trying this for a few days and my initial impression is favorable. I have stayed connected much longer than with other IM clients. I have a few features I would like to see such as themes (I prefer dark backgrounds), change the notification sound for this app, and sorting of contacts by status (available, away, offline).

I thank you for letting me try this product and will report more thoughts later.

What services are you using? I use Aim and Yahoo and cant see any of my online contacts so I cant really do much.

Maybe in a future version when IM+ is in the top status bar instead of just saying "IM+ Pro is running", you could add something about if no accounts are signed on.

IM+ has auto reconnect, but we have yet to improve it. I added "IM+ Pro is running" misconception to be fixed to wishes for future versions.

It seems odd, is it still an issue when you sign out and sign in back manually? Or they disappearing after some period of time?
You can additionally send a support request from About, and our support will try to look closer into it.

Could you please post here a pic with the menu? I'm sure the Pro-version downloaded from www.shapeservices.com should have this option, however the one downloaded from Android Market doesn't have it.

Wrong time stamp is confusing, I have informed the developers.

Added to wishlist. We're glad IM+ working fine on your device. Always welcome to share your further thoughts here.

I downloaded the free version from the market so that might be it. Will try to download from the website.

I will send the support request. What is happening is none of my contacts from either AIM or Yahoo show as being online. I sign in and out and even uninstalled and reinstalled.

The only way I can get anyone to show up as online is to try to send them an IM. Then they show as being online.

Yahoo, Gtalk, and MSN

I've chatted with folks on all services and it seems to be working fine for me.

 

[rkkeller]

Yahoo, Gtalk, and MSN

I wonder if the OS or phone could have anything to do with it?

I have the EVO and OS 2.2 and uninstalled 2x, deleted accounts 3-4x and still do not see my online contacts. When they do appear, they vanish later and appear offline.

I sent in a support request last night and will see what happens.

OK the website version worked, was able to enter the code. Will get back to you on this after some testing.

I have this problem with my msn client on my phone that it doesn't show the messages which were sent me while I was offline. Does this do that?
What about the file sending and receiving? I do little business on this and sometimes I need files to be sent and received via msn.
What about push notifications?
And how is it doing with special characters? Sometimes I can't see
