On the setup, you need the pc on, but once you have made the set up, you can disconnect, and login in clicking on the bb.


Great post!

i was right, sell-out or not, verichat is so much better than this. i know it's a hack and all but i can't even get any help from this thread. serious waste of time. $25 a month is so worth it compared to this B.S.

Ok, must be missing some step..

have gmail, no jabber account, have AIM.

installed Miranda, added the SSL dlls, opened Miranda, added the gtalk setup,
my gmail userid, etc.. I installed AIM, MSN and Jabber services.

I start Miranda, and voila, there are my AIM contacts.

Now, Crown->Jabber-> Agents.. oops.. Agents is greyed out.. now what?
| ok, that is fixed, the server in 4.Setup Miranda , talk.google.com had a trailing space.

Now I get the list of services, but pick AIM and get no userid/pw prompt.. AIM/ICQ I do..

but my contacts don't flow to the BB..

| ok, I changed the server name to deepdarc.com in step 8, and now things work..

I followed the instructions, but here in Europe the serviocebook does not get installed, anuway I can fix that myself? THX

anyone receive the error this happens when signing into google talk. so cant use it at this point.

thanks in advance

Lenny

Wow I have got to be completly clueless.. cause I think i just need someone to come do this for me. I cnat get shit.. and am getting very frustrated.. nothign come easy huh!!!

the PSI method is pretty simple and so far using deepdarc.com for aim seems fairly stable. only issue i have is finding one for yahoo.

Setting up PSI for Google Talk:
Google Talk: Google Talk Help

When you're done. Rename the long buddy names that show up on PSI before logging into GoogleTalk for BlackBerry. You don't have to, but it's easier to do it first on the PC.

Good luck!

Since there is a native Yahoo IM program available at http://mobile.blackberry.net, I wouldn't even bother using a transport to GT.

Steve

Unless it's changed recently, the native Yahoo IM doesn't work for those of us using Cingular. Overall I really like how clean and integrated GT is on the BB, but as noted by others, I have yet to find a stable yahoo transport. I've also tried verichat, im+, webmessenger. There's good and bad to all of them, but my personal preference is GT 'cause it's so clean and simple, not to mention free -- if only it could really do multi-protocol.

I see... I'm a Cingular-Blue user and I don't even use Yahoo anyway. That said, I have installed both clients on my friends' TMO BBs.

Thanks for the clarification.

Steve

Ok. I've gotten google to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to add my AOL & Yahoo accounts. What are the servers, what's my Jabber ID, and which checkboxes do I select?

If you don't use PSI, Google's support page has links to other jabber clients.

It might be a dumb question. However, when I locate the AIM transporter, however, the "register" option is grayed out. Does it mean I can't use that specific transporter for AIM messaging?

That's correct, if you can not hit the register button you will have to move on to a diffrent transport.

Hey guys, I got it to work, I currently have AOL, Yahoo, and MSN working, but when I sign in to GTalk, it pops up a screen that says "command failed" I have to hit the "back" button, and then "enter". It doesn't adversely affect it, just kind of annoying. I deleted GT, but when I reinstalled it, it already knew my login/password, so I'm assuming it didn't really uninstall it completely, any tips?

Workaround:
Grex says in his post; http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...ml?#post279850, to hit the enter key as many time as you have buddies in your contact list.

I'm having the same problem and this workaround works for me at the moment. However, I'm stumped on the
"Uncaught exception: process net_rim_bb_qm_google (###) killed due to message queue overflow" that my wife and two other BB friends are experiencing.

Steve

It's been a while, but seeing this post reminded me of something. If I add a contact using a jabberID format like, , into GoogleTalk for BB, then I'll get those bounced messages and it uses up my gmail invites.

If I add a contact it in PSI, it doesn't send those invite via google, nor does it decrease your invite count. Much cleaner this way.

Steve

Does anyone have an update to step number 3:
3.Unzip the following archive to the Miranda directory under Program Files.

This weblink detailed under this step is longer valid and it is requiring an open SSL library.

Thanks.

It must be late and I'm not understanding, but how exactly does installing Miranda on the desktop cause the BB with GTalk to work with all the other networks? I can see all of the people from all other networks, but they are showing up as "unsubscribed".

The best thing to do, is go to this link:
Open Jabber Servers

Just keep trying different servers and eventually you'll get one or two that work (per IM client)
As efficient as it is to have one universal IM client, it is quite inefficient to have to juggle servers constantly. I had a 2 week run where I had AOL, MSN, and Yahoo running perfectly... now I'm only 2/3 at any one time. Oh well, patience patience patience

OK, I wasn't reading the first post thoroughly. Like I said, it was late! So I used the instructions, but I'm still not showing anyone, everyone is in the "unsubscribed" list. Playing around with some different transports that are listed in this thread. I am getting a list of all my MSN and Yahoo users in Miranda, but they're not porting over to Google Talk.

I get the same exact issues as this. I am unable to click the "agents" under jabber, greyed out. In addition, when I click to "register new user" I get the following:



I'm pretty sure that once I get past this, I will be able to do step 7.

Got registered on jabber.anywise.com, but still not seeing anything come through in Google Talk. About to try PSI.

totally incorrect sir!

I set this up yesterday in about 20 minutes....

Pros-
-It actually runs in the background like all bb instant messengers should.
-A graphic actually appears like the message icon on your blackberry on the top.
- It stays connected and works flawlessly...
- i used psi... was not difficult at all.

I have used almost all the instant messengers except im+. Trust me, this is the best solution by far.

I gotta say.. this works really well. A couple of minor glitches along the way but not difficult at all.

OK, I've read through this post (too many times) and am still having trouble getting my AIM buddies to transfer to my 8100 in Google Talk. I've setup Miranda per the instructions and can successfully run jabber and AIM from my desktop. However, when I go and attempt to add a Jabber agent I think I encounter the source of my problem.

I can enter jabber.anywisecom into the server field and browse to select "aim-icq.jabber.anywise.com". I can successfully register, I think. It accepts my AIM username and password and returns a prompt of "Registration Successful". However, it is not listed under Registered Jabber Transports. I have tried deepdarc.com as a server, however, if I choose "aim.deepdarc.com" the Register button remains grayed out.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

that link isnt working for me?

that link is down the updated one is on the 1st page 3rd post!!!!!!!

Here's a dumb question: Can I do this on a Mac?

Find the Mac version of PSI. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Psi Jabber Client:: download

Let us know!

Steve

wait a second, so i have to be logged onto the client (on the pc) to see the contacts on the blackberry?

grrr!

nope.. just set it all up on your PC then login from your BB. You can leave the client up on both devices if you want. Once it is setup, all of your contacts will show up on your blackberry.

hmm everytime i quit the client on the pc, it stops showing the msn contacts on the blackberry....

what am i doign wrong here?

forgot to mention i am trying to setup msn messenger on gtalk bb

Any ideas / comments from anyone?

Thanks again.

Make sure your AIM ID and GoogleTalk ID are not the same.. I had this same problem and chased my tails for hours messing with it

Nope, they're different, but thanks for the suggestion. Anyone else?

Thanks again.

I have the same exact problem... tried Miranda and Psi, neither worked...

any recommended service directory urls?

anything stable? I keep getting disconnected..and i cant register on most of them...

What if your AIM and GT IDs are the same? Can this be worked around? I have my AIM and Jabber working in Miranda on my desktop, but when I login to GT using my BB my AIM stuff doesn't appear.

Appreciate any help you guys can offer.
