Ally help irc channel

[Zoandroid]

****To clairfy what IRC is and the purpose. IRC is called Internet Relay Chat. Basically a chatroom. I have set this up to help people that have a problem or need help with something. We usually have more than one person try to assist so its group help. Which also means you would get answers faster. But it's more than just a support chat. It's there for fellow ally or any android based phone owner to come chat and have some fun.

I've already got one setup on freenode. Channel: #ally

webchat for those that do not have IRC clients.

Ally IRC Webchat client

Here's another webclient

wsIrc Ally IRC

Just change the Username to whatever you want and clock login.

Update**

For those of you who have the new Phandroid app. You can connect to the ally irc channel from it. Once your sucessfully connect to the network click menu and press "Join Channel" then add #ally. and click OK. Here's a screenshot.

Hey, Dots, did you notice the battery status icon in the image you posted? Talk about "subliminal messages".

I see the "average age" of some of the members on the chat hasn't changed much since my first encounter with IRC nearly 30 years ago, which was why I never spent much time with it. It is a shame something can't be done to boot those sophomoric punks off the chat permanently. I was really pleased to be able to get the help I did those couple days when I rooted the Ally, but from what I am seeing today I don't know how anyone could carry on an intelligent dialog with all that stuff flying.

Is there a way to block certain members from appearing on the screen?

You would have to use an actual irc client to be ableo to use /ignore Most actual clients (not the web ones) support it.

Thanks Dots! I was wondering about that. I'll see if I can find a good freebie client.

And why in heck would you ask a completely unrelated question in a thread about Ally help irc channel?

Try making a little effort on forum use and etiquette, for crying out loud!

Good call! People need to understand, to receive proper help the fastest, they need to put stuff in the right areas. It's cool though. He's new to this.

Well, if the Ally info really will apply for your phone, I would suggest you install ROM Manager from the Market, which installs ClockworkMod Recovery, then "flash alternate recovery" (at the bottom of ROM Mgr. window) to using Amon-RA Recovery. Then you can use Amon-RA to create nandroid backups. If you plan to put your apps on the SD card (using A2SD) then Amon-RA is the way to go, because it can access the EXT partition you will need on the SD card for that. ClockworkMod makes nandroids too, but it can't access the EXT partition.

However, be advised that these things discussed on this Ally forum are specifically meant for the Ally and no other phone. So they may not work correctly for you.

wsIrc Ally IRC seems to no longer work
"Closing Link: server.nowhere-else.org (*** Banned )"

Something about being banned from freenode for spam I think?

Yep seems like freenode banned the hostname that particluar web client uses. Removed.

If the person sending the pictures, or if you, are using SMS or MMS to send/receive them, AND either of you have applied the Velocity 1.1 update without "installing from scratch" it may be the issue being reported on the Velocity 1.1 thread regarding problems with messaging and pictures. If so there are details in the thread on what to do to fix the problem (involves re-installing Velocity 1.1 rather than "upgrading" to it).

how do i do this and where do i look in the phone to do this and what do i look for ?

 

[KingOfGreen]

how do i do this and where do i look in the phone to do this and what do i look for ?

Well first off are you rooted? try dialing *228 option 2 and if no go then *22899

 

[Zoandroid]

What does 22899 get us? I haven't seen that one before.

 

[Zoandroid]

If you have not "rooted" the Ally and installed the custom ROM Velocity, then my previous suggestion doesn't apply to you. Sorry for any confusion.

 

[KingOfGreen]

Death2all posted it a while back as a way to force the phone onto the network and update that stuff. Ive had other issues that dialing *228 option 1 and 2 didnt fix but *22899 did.

 

[toby31601]

i tryed the *228 and the *22899 but i STILL CAN'T get my pics it says its down loading and just stays their,if thay send it to my e-mail i can get them, i dont no whats going on ! i need some help helppppppppppppppppppppppp ! me please if you can thank you !

 

[Zoandroid]

You did not answer KingofGreen's question. Is your Ally rooted? Which ROM are you using, and what version number?

 

[KingOfGreen]

And if you are stock, are you using a different sms app? Maybe try to download them in the stock app

 

[toby31601]

Due to circumstances I am unwilling to discuss, I am taking a permanent hiatus from the room. I wish everyone good luck and I enjoyed helping people root

EDIT: After some reasonable thought, I have decided to go back to the room. I hope to see you guys there
