Yahoo Messenger (official) not working today? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have two Android devices, both on basically stock roms, and both are having problems getting into Yahoo messenger (the official Yahoo app). I'm able to log in and out on my PC's, but both Android devices get as far as the contact list, and it keeps saying "Loading Online Contacts..." and hangs there... EVERYbody shows up as offline, and when you homescreen out and back again, it often leaves you at the login window.
I've reinstalled and rebooted and whatever... still the same. Two devices.. can't be just me, right?

I am having the exact same problem. Started by saying session timed out around 5 am today

here too.. hope they're just working for a new version.

+1 on the new version, the current one sux bawlz... inly shows account name and not real name like the desktop version... video calls only use the main camera (my damn Galaxy Tab has a front facing but still very useless camera!), and no file sharing.
With all the new Tablets running Android, you think they might see the light...

*knock* Is this thread on-going? I installed 1.0 and 1.1 without any problem but once i installed 1.3+video plugin it shows only offline contacts... Have you experienced this also?

Same for me

front camera dont work in my droid 3! :-(

it seems there's no fix. i really wanted to use video plugin on yahoo messenger and if it works there's a thread here that says "front camera now works... something like that"

Live Messenger Offline Error

Hi
I am having issues with WLM each time i sign in i get a connectivty error, then try and sign in again it signs in but all my contacts are offline, someone can message me and talk to me if they talk first but i can't start any convos as my messenger says everyone is offline, (on my desktop it isn't the case)
Has anyone else had any issues with WLM or any ideas how to get it to work correcly?
Have already done a hard reset and it is still the same.
I had the same issue... never did solve it, although i didn't try very hard.
Since upgrading to the Athena Project Black Touch Edition WM6 Rom, WLM works perfectly.
You could try installing the version here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302152
Yes after upgrading to the Athena Project Black ROM by PK, it does work better but it still sucks. Microsoft has a lot of work to do on this IM program. Has way too many communication problems and is very inconsistent. I also noticed issues with the desktop version.

[Q] Facebook App not behaving

Hi All. I'm using the official Facebook app that I downloaded form Marketplace. Up until a week or so ago, it was behaving perfectly.
Now, when I open it up, it doesn't seem to update. If I press 'refresh', I get the spinning cursor for a few seconds but nothing changes. If I then log-out, and then re-enter my password, and then press 'refresh' it updates perfectly.
I've uninstalled it a couple of times, and reinstalled it, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Steve
Your not alone on this, I have two HD2's and on both systems the Facebook app isn't working correctly. The only thing that I've found so far that allows me to update it is, to log out and log back in.
Probably just a small glitch that will get sorted out soon. FB must have changed a way in which the clients interact with it.
Facebook App not working
Cheers - Nice to know (in a way) that I'm not alone!
this is not new, there's a few threads regarding this, but no fix yet! the only way I found to get a smooth way to use facebook is, on the internet sense tab, add the touch.facebook.com url to the links and sign in and save username and password. Now for me I use Energy rom so it has opera as default browser, so once I set it up the first time and save, it works just like the app, once I touch the link it goes in right to my home in facebook, and everything works like its supposed to.
touch.facebook.com...........
easier to view on the device than the full site......
more functional than the app.....
got the same issue here updated to the newest client and bam 3 days later no more updates. so I just use the opera browswer but the downside is that it uses an older fb plugin with cratastic pictures
ok im not just trippin
yeah the facebook app for the hd2 sucks i hate to say it but the facebook for my iphone is the best one

[Q] Tango Video Chat Archos 70?

So far Tango will download but not install.
Newest Version of fring will run but error out on video chat.
Yahoo video chat will freeze.
Anyone have any luck getting Tango Video Chat to install or any video chat program to work on their Archos 70 or 101?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can figure this out.
I am in the same boat. Would really like a video chat app cause my wife is always on this and im on my evo
Try this version of fring, it is a older version, but it works for me...
Moved to general as not android development.

Thank you. I really want to avoid Fring but I guess it's better than nothing at all.
I guess nobody is having luck with any of the other video chat apps, so it's not just me.
Hi,
yahoo msg works pretty well, even to other platforms like iphone/pc.
its on market but take care, dont use "yahoo msg droid", that dosent support videochat
Anyone have the apk for the video im add-on? I've tried about 7 ways to get to it on the market and for some reason I can't find it. Even links straight from yahoo's website come up empty... Very frustrating.

I just moved the Video add on over from my Incredible as well as yahoo messenger and tested it out. No go for me. I was able to get video calling working, but the cam on the tablet would not output to the other person. Also the cam feed to the tablet was about 2fps and very laggy. Back to the drawing board. I have no use for fring since I'm trying to go from PC to Tab. Let me know if anyone else gets any where with it.
Sorry I just got my 101 yesterday and did not do enough research. Updated to new firmware .71 and messenger works!

Yahoo! Messenger video did not work for me
Those files wouldn't connect for me but after much much searching I found an updated Video plugin but I need the Yahoo! Messenger v1.3.1.apk which seems to be the latest version but that file is a ghost (for me) and as always its not in the Marketplace (also for me)(yes I did the "marketplace fix" and yes I reinitialized) so how's about someone post a new messenger apk if not for me then for all like me
Good news guys. I was able to have the latest version of Tango Video Chat installed and it worked well in my limited testing!!
I imported the backed up .apk from my phone and install was smooth. When it asked for a phone number I used the same number that I use for my cell. Got the verification text with no issues.
I had to restart the application a few times for it to pick up my Tango contacts and once it did, I placed a video call to my fiances iphone and it worked like a charm!
There was a slight delay in audio (to be expected) and video quality was a good as our camera would let it be. Playing with the night settings in the built in camera app helps tremendously.
I'm really happy with how things are progressing on my A70.

can you post what version Tango you used or even better yet post the apk file.
I got the version from Market and it installed fine. Even got the contact of my friends samsung epic (which also has tango installed). Was able to initiate call and it rang on her phone but then archos 70 froze.
That's weird, I downloaded tango from the market and installed and ran normally. I'm using an archos 70. It needed a phone number, so I just put my cell number and I ran a test run with my friend and we video chatted, although we were right next to each other.
It was a bit choppy but usable.
Market version works for me also (A70).

[Q] words with friends not working

I know it just came out, but words with friends wont work on my rooted 1.1 nook. Anyone else have any problems or luck with it?
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Works for me, but tons of bugs.
- Tiles don't size correctly on the rack
- Last tile is unselectable
- Backs out when selecting a letter for open letter tiles
- Tiles half covered on the rack by the status window
* basically, the tiles on rack are too big
Works great on my DINC though
I wonder if the tablet version would work on the nook?

words with friends help!!!!!!!
Can anyone tell me why i can't get "words with friends" on my x10 mini pro. It can play other games like angry birds and word feud . But it will not let me download the app . Also it say's "words with friends", only needs android( 1.6 )upwards i have (2.1) so dont know why this happening. Has anyone got any ideas??????????PLEASE HELP!!!
didn't work with my old (from ipod touch account).
made a new account and it loads, but, as mentioned above, can't see the tiles in my rack.
My girl has the G1 with stock 1.6 and I believe the makers of Words With Friends (Zynga) removed the app from 1.6 compatibility - it now requires 2.1 and above. She therefore can no longer download it from the Market.
I did find an APK via Google, but it has strange bugs (not the usual bugs with this app) such as she ends up in a game where it is me vs. me, but not her. Have tried all manner of uninstalls, reinstalls, and new WWF accounts. Must be because it is not designed for 1.6 any more.
Does anyone have access to the last well-behaved APK for Android 1.6? It used to work perfectly fine for her.
works fine on CM7, the log on screen is really really really slow, but after that works as well as any other android device, so a lot worse then the ipod version
I'm having a problem with the contact list... it imported the email address for every single person I've ever emailed from the gmail. I literally have thousands of people in the contact list now.
Anybody know how to clear that? I tried clearing data in App manager, that didn't work.

Whatsapp background task seems to stop working in 14393.448

Hello all.
I think a lot of people had some kind of problems with whatsapp in windows phone, but ultimately they were just a minnor annoyance.
However, since the last 2 updates of whatsapp (the ones which adds Status), the backround task stops working after a small while.
I have marked Whatsapp to run always under lockscreen, but this doesn't seem to be working.
For instance, I enabled and watched the phone' web portal looking for the WhatsApp.ServerHost.exe. After a while, it disappears and Whatsapp Web just says "Phone not connected".
However, if I go to the "Apps" in the same web portal, and launch whatsapp, it of course comes back to life, and Whatsapp Web works again.
Is there a way to make it work ALWAYS?
I mean, anything else besides that setting that I've mentioned. I guess I could write a simple c# in my PC (or even better, in the phone) doing this, but thats a waste of processing power.
Thanks in advance!!
PS: My phone is a Lumia 1020 @ 14393.448, it has 2GB of RAM and I dont think it closes the applications because ram is low...
is global problem for all WP/WM devices and OS. be patient...
Yes, I know since I used WP phones for about 4 years or se. But the last update was a real killer, thats the point of the post.
notification seems working again
looks like it was a server problem cz it's working very good without an update
Um here seems to still quit working randomly. It works for about 10 or 20 minutes when the phone is locked. I've developed a small tool that launches whatsapp if it sees the service is not running (using the web portal of the phone). That makes the whatsapp web happy for a while, but im getting tired of this.
Oh and by the way, the notifications seems to be working OK, but the problem resides in the whatsapp web, which shows "phone not connected" (as I stated in the first post)
