Android :: Closest Thing To Blackberry Messenger?
Nov 20, 2009
I accept the fact that I can't install Blackberry Messenger on my Droid. This was a very handy app on my Blackberry because it was more instant than a text message (and free which is handy for my BB friends without free texting), and you didn't have to be "logged on" to get a message. I asked the Verizon rep (who's only complaint when he switched to the Droid), and he said Google Talk did the same thing. I installed it and told one of my BB buddies to do the same, but you need to be logged in to get messages. Is Google Talk my best bet or is there something better?

I recently came over from using a Blackberry (and using the Blackberry Messenger app), and I am wondering what you all might suggest as an easy way to briefly send quick messages (not using SMS or email) that would be easy to set up on my end and for my Blackberry friends.Currently I do not have any chat systems or instant messaging systems set up (as never used any of that before), so I am hoping you can make your suggestions very simple to understand and set up. I'm somewhat new to all this technology, but I am anxious to learn.

BBM is out for android but it only runs on devices with ics and jb and even now more than 30% of the devices are running GINGERBREAD so can ne1 port the blackberry apk to work on GT-S5830i aka galaxy ace.

the biggest disappointment for us die-hard BB fans was losing the BBM. Is there a app or a question that a app could be built for the droid so we could re-connect with our RIM friends?I know the BB os is secure and specific but there is ways around everything these days. So is it possible? or has this been asked?

I have been looking for months now, for a way of running the blackberry software on the X1. Its a hot topic around the forums and over on XDA developers, but no one has been able to explain if this is possible for sure. I have the standard ROM that came with the phone, and am with Vodafone.There has been talk of it working, and there has been talk of it not. I have heard that it can run on some HTC models, which leads me to beleive it should also be possible (some how) on the X1.

For example, I want my users to be able to click a button "Get new quote" which will start a new row in the the database for data to start being stored, but I'm unsure of how to store activity independent (or cross activity) data, like the _id of the row, which I will need to requery and update the row when new data becomes available on subsequent activities. What's the name of this mechanism and how is it done?

I have root using unrEVOked3, running CM6, stock kernel, then did unrEVOked Forever and the radio update (2.15) I noticed that my 3G is getting me like 200kbps, horrible, right? I thought maybe *228 would fix the problem. I noticed that the speedtest app was saying a server in Tacoma was the closest to me (2.8 mi) when really, I'm just south of Portland. When I try to do *228, I get a phone activation screen with no keypad on it. It says "Please wait while you phone is being programmed." and wants me to push 1 or 2, but since there is no keypad, this becomes impossible. If I back out to my app drawer and select Phone again, it brings up 3 options. One of them is to see the keypad. When I hit that, it just takes me back to the activation screen. I can't find a way to push a button. Long pressed menu, got keyboard.

I have a stock froyo 2.2 on my device with no o2 operator logo thanks to the debranding batch file on xda developers, it's also got root. This seems quite stable and hasn't displayed the random crashing that happens on almost any ROM that I've tried. What's the closest ROM to stock but with a lot of the unnecessary apps removed?

I'm working on adding a tab to an application, but the last two tabs (regardless of order) are launching the same activity. If I go down to two tabs they both work correctly, but when I add the third the last two result in the same activity launching.

The way we can do it in HTML, where we have two framesets. If I click a link in one frame then only the other frame(target one) is reloaded, the one from which I clicked is not.
How this can be done in Android?
As in, Say I have a kind of taskbar/toolbar which is part of all views. Is there any way in which Activities from one "Frame" can switch but activity in other frame remains stable?

I'm pretty confused about the Network Mode settings in my Tattoo so perhaps one of you fine folks could help me?My phone is currently set for Network mode: GSM / WCDMA auto which seems to be the only options I can find. In the status bar my connection speed switches from G to 3G automatically, which is fine.My question is whether this is still ok for the 3.5G areas. I think it should change from '3G' to 'H' but I've never been in a covered area to see if this happens. I cannot see an HSDPA option which is what I was expecting but I have a feeling that the WCDMA covers this. Is this right?I suppose it basically boils down to why the network mode is "GSM / WCDMA" and not "GSM / WCDMA / HSDPA"?I know the Tattoo supports HSDPA but I cant find it anywhere among the options.I'm probably making this far more confusing than it should be.

I know about camel case rules, but I'm confused with this m rule. What does it stand for? I'm a php developer, "we" use first letters of variables as indication of type, like 'b' for boolean, 'i' for integer and so on.
Is 'm' a java thing? Does it stand for mobile? mixed?

I don't know how the whole app thing works.I hit market d/l play and delete if I don't like it. When I do this with windows a little bit of each program remains on my computer. Does the same thing happen with apps on my phone? Do I need to reformat my phone every now and then to clean it up like I do my computers?

I want to be able to record a quick vid of my little girl and email it to her grandma from the phone. Problem is it records in 3GP and so far have not found an easy way to get her computer (3000 miles away) to play these files.
So I guess I am looking for 1 of 3 things.
1. Way to record in some thing else. (AVI, MP3/4 etc.)
2. Way to convert it simply on the phone to a compatible type.
3. A way to send a file to Grandma that is pretty much click here and run this app.

I wonder if someone could help me. I'm registered blind and I sometime stuggle to read really small text and only certain apps work with pinch to zoom.I went into the Settings > Accessibility but there is nothing in there except for a greyed out Accessibility option which I can't select.I'm assuming I need to install accessibily apps for them to show up here but I haven't a clue what ones I need or where to get them. Can anyone help me?What I'm after is something like the 3 finger tap on the iPhone/iPod Touch which zooms in no matter what I'm looking at.

What is the best thing you can do with your captivate? Well, I like the navigation and google sky, but most importantly it is a phone. The call quality is good and people can hear me well in the wind. I love the way the phone rests in my hand with its size and shape. Also, it is reported to have a low SAR around .5 Hopefully I'll find another new and amazing use for this device.

New to the forums :x I've owned several droids in the past, but I've never decided to join the forums :P but I wanted to post this since it looks like no one has posted this yet O.o. It's barely visible and it doesn't do anything but it looks like it was clearly going to be used for LED.
I'm talking about on the left side of the earpiece...next to it, it's barely visible, there are two circles...I'm pretty sure that's where the LED would've been if it was implemented...so what gives? Why didn't Samsung implement the LED when clearly the design is right there...?
If you can't see it, I recommend looking under a lamp, it's hard to see without a source of light. It's on the left side of the earpiece. Is it possible the upcoming update can make that little circle into an LED notification O.O?
