Yea, their is no option to disable the actual "popup" in the Profiles, just the audile notication.

However Marks suggestion does work the least distruptive although not a fix thanks Mark!

How long can you go without reception before verichat disconnects the aim session?

Mark Rejhon · 03-03-2005, 04:17 AM

On the server end, approximately 10 minutes if no incoming messages occur. However, if someone is chatting to you, their messages will start bouncing back to them in about 1 minute. (All messages are queued for 1 minute, so you get all of them if you're out of reception for less than 1 minute.)

Your client will simply automatically reconnect when you come back into reception. So you can be out of reception for 24 hours, and AIM will automatically reconnect when you come back.

Anyone else having problems getting verichat to connect to yahoo and aim?

Its says "Connecting to AIM" then says "Disconnecting from AIM"...same for yahoo. MSN works fine.

I just downloaded VeriChat V1.777bh Trial Version from Handango and installed in onto my BB but I can only see 2 protocoles, MSN and Yahoo.
Anybody can tell me what to do to have AIM ?

Please don't tell I have to try MSN before buying AIM ...

Thanks.

The Handango version has AIM and ICQ removed because of a Handango agreement with AOL.

Uninstall VeriChat and install VeriChat directly from PDAapps' website. The latest version is a wireless OTA download (Enter via BlackBerry Browser): http://www.pdaapps.com/ota/VeriChat.jad .... But make sure you uninstall your old Verichat first! Your free trial will resume where it left off...

Thanks, Mark. Working fine now.

Version 1.93b BlackBerry Desktop Installer for VeriChat has been released on the main VeriChat website:
http://www.pdaapps.com/verichat_bby/...file_real.html

This is identical to the wireless Over-The-Air (OTA) download which is at:
http://www.pdaapps.com/ota/VeriChat.jad

So now you have a choice of installing wirelessly, and installing through BlackBerry Desktop!

Ughh! I am getting the dreaded "could not open tunnel - failed" error! I have the 7100g with Cingular.

This is what I did:

1) before installing VeriChat, I went to options/TCP and used these settings:

APN: wap.cingular
APN username: [email address]

APN password: CINGULAR1

2) Installed VeriChat OTA

3) pulled the battery for a couple minutes, i.e. Hard Reset.

I'm getting the error. I even tried retyping the TCP settings again and doing another hard reset just in case I made a typo, but no luck. Any ideas? My HTML browser is working fine as is my email.

asfberg · 03-04-2005, 07:50 PM

don't know if this helps but i'm also on cingular in nyc
had the same error message as you this morning
my settings were on isp which had worked before today
switched to wap (on advice of bb support at cingular)
now it's working fine

Eric5273 · 03-04-2005, 09:14 PM

The only explanation for some people using isp and some people using wap is that their accounts must be provisioned differently. I am on hold now with Cingular Blackberry Support. I'm going to have them fix my account.

Eric5273 · 03-04-2005, 09:33 PM

They refused to help. They even went as far as to say that if I put those TCP settings that I could perhaps even be billed extra for that use since Cingular does not support it.

I like this device, but if I cannot get it to work with wap.cingular then I am going to have to return it and get a regular non-blackberry smartphone. The blackberry plan already costs $20/month more than a Treo 650 would. I'm not going to pay another $10/month on top of that.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to get it to work?

xxhiyanxx · 03-04-2005, 09:42 PM

is the ota site down? i'm getting a 404 error on my blackberry

edit* ignore that... i got it to work.. the ota version is 1.91 but you said 1.93... is 1.93 only desktop?

Ed1496 · 04-07-2005, 02:27 AM

I am new to BB, and have Cingular 7100g for myself and business partner. I followed all of the above, and verichat worked when I tested it between the two units in my office, but once I tried it outside when I was on the road, the messages did not come through on either end. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else experienced this?

TRaymond · 04-07-2005, 03:39 AM

Is anyone else out there having this problem?

I am logged into 3 mediums with Verichat 1.96b on my T-Mobile 7100t and after completing a phone call, I go back into Verichat to see that my medium status icons show offline. Login doesn't do anything. Logout doesn't do anything. Only Logout and Exit then restarting the app seems to bring my connections back to life.

So in short. After receiving a phone call..Verichat doesn't seem to reconnect.

NXTL*BRIAN · 04-25-2005, 11:47 PM

All of my other chat programs work fine except yahoo. It says that a typo error or something is wrong. I tried the un and pw several different times. I know that I typed everything right. I'm using the Nextel Blackberry 7250, anyone else having this problem? Am I doing something wrong?

tmobileguy · 04-28-2005, 04:11 AM

What servicebook is it requesting? Where do I find this?

gerberbaby · 05-06-2005, 01:22 AM

I haven't been able to get Verichat 1.96b to work on my BB 7290. I'm on Cingular, but with a rolled-over AT&T account. I've installed and configured Verichat, but it stops on a screen that just shows the four IM icons spread out across the top, the services listed with checkboxes, and "bby05.verichat.com" at the bottom. I don't seem to be logged in. When I select "Login," I just come back to this same screen. I never get any error messages, but I also never connect to the messenger services....

I've spoken to Cingular reps, and have been told that the Cingular APN will NOT work for former AT&T accounts. I've also been told that the WIX data plans do not apply to former AT&T. Can anyone confirm this?

Other web functions seem to work fine. My BB connects through a corporate BES, which may be restricting access to VeriChat, so this may be the problem. I was hoping to use an APN to go around that.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I called Cingular, and got a rep who specializes in Blackberry's AND former AT&T accounts. He went onto the pdaapps website, downloaded Verichat, and got it to work on his own Blackberry. His account is the same as mine, with none of those extra WIX lines, and only "proxy" for APN on the BB. So at least I know it's possible. The only difference is I've got a BES that may have some kind of security restrictions.
