Ami,
You said you got ICQ to work. Have you tried grabbing IM+ from the ftp? File is de.shapeservices.im_1.1.1_all.ipk. That might work.

Google Talk worked fine but I had to tell Google that it was me logging in since they warned me that 'someone had my password'. But I don't get chat history. That could be a problem for offline messages.

I tried IM+ a while ago when i first started messing with it. It was that and Agile neither worked. However it was prior to getting ICQ to work. I'll try it again and see what happens.

[ami mizuno]

so no IM+ still doesnt work. It complains that my username o password is wrong. I know they arent because it works fine in the accounts app. I get emai contacts to work. not calendar yet tho

[Alan Morford]

Calendar can be finicky. Try a manual sync and then just leave it along for a while. Sorry about IM.

[ami mizuno]

Update. I managed to get google talk working in IM+ but i have to "Allow" the connection. Google blocked it. Sadly the same problem with offline msg's occurs. It may be a lost cause but my super anal mind just has to figure out why. I cant let anything go lol

Yep exactly what I had to do. I never used it but does synergv still work for google voice on webOS anyone?

Edit: it's broken

Edit 2: your partner is going to use a Pre also...sorry thought maybe not. Fb mesenger works in the browser of course but won't notify.

lol yeah last night i tried synergv too. yeah i knew about the fb chat running it in the browser.. looks like that may be the option. The other stuff works still just no offline msg's. Its not like our phones will be offline eventually they will have cell data as well so it may be that it only happens rarely that a msg is missed. Still worth it to me to get back on WebOS.

Whatsapp!

The exact problem that I have.

Since the Whatsapp stop to work with webOS, I had to abandon my Pre 3. This is very important here, in Brazil. If some cellphone have no Whatsapp, no one buy, nobody wants, nobody use.

If begun to work in my Pre, I gonna return to webOS in same time! ♥

Hey Ami,

Not sure exactly the protocol that WhatsApp uses is, there has been some attempts at a webOS version, I did have that running a while back but it wasn't hugely reliable for me, I think to complicate matters it got removed due to FB buying WhatsApp, worst thing for the application IMO.

The problem is the number of friends I have that use WhatsApp on Android and iPhone don't really want to go back to text messages

Best regards...

Just have to text only people who have webOS

Nice I will look into that. I dont have a google chat accnt unless i can just use the one gmail i had for android

I've been looking at LuneOS a lot lately. Im not a fan of newer HW so much my idea is to port LuneOS concepts to the legacy devices lol. Clearly not the OS but some portions of it.

Well, there is the new browser that runs on TouchPad, that someone made using modern Qt. Conceivably, since modern Qt will build for TouchPad, it could potentially build for old devices, and then you could build the other components of LuneOS on top of it. Would be interesting, and I'd certainly love to see the results. I have no idea how you'd get enough space for it all, though, with the limited space available on phones. Perhaps rebuilding the partitions so that all of the space is available in / might do it.. or perhaps getting enough components together that you can replace the ondevice ones . . . i don't know. just thoughts that i had. Somewhere or other out there, there are my notes on getting 3.0.5 to run on a Pre3, which ultimately failed, but perhaps someone with more motivation could get it, and/or do the same with making LuneOS components build into the old system, and work.

In any case.. these devices won't last forever. We will outlive them, for sure. lol

The blocker for Qupzilla on all phones is that the UI needs a rewrite that fits phone resolution. So if that can be done, Nizovn gave the impression it might be possible to compile it without Neon dependencies which are keeping it from running on Pre2...
All over my head, but that's my understanding of the work needed to try it on Pre2:
- Make a phone UI
- Re-compile without Neon
-- Easy ;-)...

I don't even know what Neon is. :-S I'm so freaking far behind, because my life has just been bananas ever since I got the job working on webOS :-S

I could be totally wrong here, but I think it is a special instruction set available on TP, Pre3 and Veer CPUs that is lacking on any of the earlier phones: https://developer.arm.com/technologies/neon
