Hurrrey!! AOL/MSN/Yahoo/ICQ on Sanyo 5300. And it works.

I just tryed this with the A500 and it work too..

 

I would like to believe your reasons for posting are to pass on whatever valuable information you may have; not just to see who is going to reply because you have posted!

 

That is, the aol AIM work

 

Did you leave all the server and crap as it was?

When it asks for your email is it really asking for your email or your screenname?

 

I just want to make sure everyone is experiencing the same situation as I am... long time to log in and the phone is locked up... I cant talk on the phone without cancelling my connection to AIM?

 

I downloaded AIM from the site above and I'm having two problems with it:
1) I run the app, it connects to the web but takes at least 10 minutes to connect to AIM , sign in and retrieve my buddy list.
2)Once it finally does all that crap and I see my buddy list, I can't select a buddy to IM. My left hotkey says "menu" (which works) and my right hotkey says "select". When I highlight my buddy and press "select", absolutely nothing happens. What's up with that?

 

Thanks for the info but I just get an error message when I enter my phone # and submit..Tells me one of the message recipients is not a member of this service....I don't understand.I'm a member of wireless advisor what am I doing wrong??Also,once they send you the download please be so kind as to describe exactly how you activated it on your phone.

This is really good news as I thought I was going to have to be without my AOL E MAils.....thanks again,Dave

 

So do you just put in your AIM sn or do you have to use some sort of email address? It says email address but i don't see why.

 

I was with a friend that tried this; we went to the mall, then picked up something to eat, and in all that time, still hadn't got connected.

By the time we remembered the phone, we had forgotten what we were trying to do in the first place!

 

At we speak, I just tried it on Sanyo 5300. It took me less than a minute to log in. But I tried last night and took me along time. So it depends how busy is the server... I like it when someone send you a message, it has a pop up which actually pops up in less than 3 seconds..

 

Hey timesaver, when connection the AIM what does the AB mean when connecting, also notice that in the options, hide offline AB???

 

I am able to connect but then it takes like 10 min "logging in" and then disconnects. I guess it must be something with the servers around here.

 

Is all this for instant messaging, or being able to view email? If not email, is there a way I can view my MSN email?

 

Those of you who have it working on MSN and AOL... What server and port settings do you have? I'm constantly getting "Disconnected from server" but never really connecting at all.

 

Hmmm, that's what I'm set for and it keeps bouncing me... Maybe it just doesn't work on a 4900... Anyone get it to work on a 4900?

 

I dont think it works on the 4900; at least it hasnt for me.

 

I've downloaded the app (very cool I might add), and I connected and see my list. Now for the stupid question: How do I send a message? Menu and Select are my only options - Select does nothing, and Menu just brings up "add/remove contact", "canned messages" etc... I even tried to send a canned message, and wasn't able to send - help!

 

I am having the same problems. I finally got everything to load and seen my buddly list but I can't find a way to send a message. I also have the 4900, so if anyone has any suggestions please post them up.

Also dealing with the problem of it taking forever to load the ab list, I went ahead and made a new screenname and just but the main people I talk to on it. It still takes awhile to load but it doesn't take as long as it was when it was trying to load by entire list of 199 people.

 

I have given up on trying to make this thing work. This was orignally posted for the 5300 phone; yet taking into account that the 5300 is a vision phone, I dont see why it wouldnt work for all the vision phones. I have the 4900 and this app still takes forever to do anything. I have finally decided to just wait for AOL and everyone else to get their collective acts together.

 

OK WHOA WHOA... Are yall tellin me that the Sanyo 5300 CAN NOT handle AIM on its own? One of things I love about my TP5250 is that I can just go to "WIRELESS WEB>MESSAGING>AIM>SIGN ON" and go to AIM... Does it not work the same way with the 5300?? This should be cleared up because this could cause confusion for alot of new people.

Essentially this phone is almost useless to me without the AIM functionality,its 1/2 of what I use my TP5250 for besides looking up movie times and of course... talking.
