AIM and Beejive Instant Messaging iPhone Apps Updated with Push Notifications

richard4339 said:
AIM will send to the client that's available. BeeJive has an auto-away feature that sets it to away when you exit the app. If you do this, when you sign in elsewhere, it will send it to your available app.

What about G-Chat? Some messages are sent only to my desktop, some are sent to both. Seems completely random. I get the same results whether I set my iPhone BeeJive to Away or Busy. It's kind of annoying.

Also I'm not sure the auto-away feature works very well, at least not the auto-away message.

Push is nice, Iphone notification system is not. I wait with anticipation the solutions that will come from the jailbreak comunity to replace the stupid popups in the middle of the screen

This is one of the solutions that will suport push notifications

Wow. It`ll be hell lot better than Apple`s current implementation of push IF it does work as described. But I dont want a Jailbreak solution. Not coz my iPhone is not jailbroken but coz with each software update, the jailbroken apps become unavailable for weeks until the new software dev team breaks the code again and the jailbroken apps too need to be updated for the new software which could further stretch the waiting period. Why cant apple get some thing like this by themselves. Remember the times when software used to be apple`s biggest strength. It still is but they are not proving themselves anymore.

I hope Steve Jobs is recovered well enough to personally kick his software engineers in the behind:eek:. Or atleast hire more engineers for the job. With the iPhone software, OSX, MobileMe, Push, iPod classic/nano OS along with FCP and other home apps Apples got more in their hands they can handle. They have over 30Billion $ lying around in Cash. What are they waiting for now.
 
Well I found out why I was being disconnected from MSN on Beejive. From the Beejive forums:

Logging out after 20 minutes
If you are getting logged out after ~20 minutes (and you don't want to) be sure to update your session time out setting. Close BeejiveIM, and then go to Settings -> Beejive, and scroll down to the Network an Push section to change this value.

Connection Issues
Most connection issues have be resolved. There was an unrelated issue with Yahoo login (due to some server issues they made) so we needed to patch our servers at the same time everyone was trying to get on the 3.0 release... bad timing. Good news is the servers are patched and you should be able to login (and stay logged in) from here on out.

Also:

Recording and sending videos via BeejiveIM on the 3GS will be in the next release that is being submitted this week.

Front camera is just a bad idea. The usage scenario screams "awkward" - holding your phone in front of you to talk to someone just isn't a userfriendly approach. There a many phones with this ability, but the video calls over 3G - one of the great 3G "bullet points" when 3G was introduced here ages ago - is a flop.

No reason for Apple to add that.

Sorry but I wouldn't be so pessimistic about this idea at all. It is great technology to be used anywhere. I don't know where you are from but here in UK we got Three ,which is really good for this kind of things and few friends of mine using this service frequently with pleasure.
iChat AV on iphone will go further because you will be able to speak to your friends and family at home PC (hmm Mac acctually :D)when you are away. Countless possibilities.
I believe they are working on it as we speak because people wanted that thing from 1st generation on iPhone but bandwidth issue (especially in US) made that progress slow. However there is some progress anyway as we see in here.
It is not a flop my friend, its happening. Plus you know Apple and their relationship to King Midas and the Golden Touch I guess:cool:
 
I wouldn't get too excited, it's been 503 erroring for me all morning. I guess they can't cope with the new customers or the extended online periods (again) this happened shortly after they released the first version with email notifications.

It's working for me again. I guess they couldn't handle all the new users connecting to their server.

I'm happy for this. Although I don't use the AIM app on my iphone much, this might push me to use it a little bit more. look forward to it.
 
am I the only one having connecting issues. Beejive keeps saying: disconnect from gmail.

Are they still having some issues?

I completely sign out of Beejive on my phone, all accounts. And it is still pushing IMs from AIM and facebook to my phone.

Strange. Anyone else experiencing this?
