G1 AIM PROBLEMS

Wow my Aim sucks on my G1.....doesnt load up all my buddies t hen it sends me messages that says its coming from MYSELF

google talk works goood thru data like sidekick messaging...but the others are ass

If anyone finds out how to make aim work good like google talk or use it through data let me know.........

When you sign on AIM/AOL on your pc/laptop, make a new group called Mobile Device.
Put all your buddies in it.  Sign off.
Then log on from your g1, it should work.  Mine wasn`t working until I did that today.
Now it works.

Also logging on do not put spaces in your sn if you have any.
Hope that works.

ok mine  works but there times i havve no buddies on when i do ugh i hate it man and the new aim + sucks

I'm having issues with my aim also. I had the sidekick slide b4 this and the sidekick 3 b4 that so I use aim constantly. I dont like that you can't change ur icon or away msg on the G1. Also when I'm on EDGE signal none of my buddies are online, even thought i'll be having a conversation with them. When I have 3G signal Im able to see them all online but not for long. Then it signs me out without notifying me, this happens with msn and yahoo but as everybody mentions google talk works prefectly. i dont have many friends that use google talk, everybody i know uses aim mostly so this is really annoying. I hope they fix it and make it more like how the sidekick has AIM. The phone is great in all other aspects just that I got unlimited texting so that i could be on aim nonstop iming like i use too

i know man i had the lx all i do i aim and i cant the same things happen to me this sucks

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile tech support and they were absolutely useless - which is very much not like them.  I think this AIM  problem has got em whooped.  They didn't have a clue.  In fact, the person I spoke with before I got over to tech support sent me here to find out more info.  How helpful is that?

When I log in, I can not get my buddy list at all.  I have my mobile device group set up on my computer and have actually gone in and reset the device and have yet to get a buddy list to come up and show me ANY buddies.  I know it's signing in because I get the notice on my computer but I have not received ANY IMs via AIM.  Of course, Google Talk works fine but I don't know but one or two folks that use that service.  Grrrr.  It's looking like this phone might be going back to the shop and I'll be getting my $$$ back and I'll just use the sidekick (which works just fine.)  I certainly expected more from T-Mobile with all the hype they have paid for in getting this released.  It looks like they would want ALL the features to work flawlessly before releasing it.  Of course, HTC might be part of the problem because I had a Wing before and it had problems as well.  I know I'm getting my Pastor's phone replaced because his keeps locking up on him as well and he's got the HPC6800 made by HTC.

Maybe I just expect too much (like to have a fully functional phone.) NAH!  It must be them. 

Come on T-Mobile - let's get this fixed before you loose any more market share!!!!

take this for what its worth (which is not much as the CC rep i was talking to had told me some other BS i knew wasnt true)...but the guy said that the next update, coming around november 11, would take care of IM problems as well as some other browser problems.

Ok well with the aim problem...I found out that your suppose 2 block yourself...I had that problem with yahoo everybodies messages were coming back as me...so I blocked myself and waited a while at 1st it didn't work but in about an hour it wus all good...and I have the siging out problem it seems to me I get signed out when I start usin the internet or youtube or sumthing...

It's good that this trick corrects the problem, but you shouldn't have to block yourself in order for the IM client to work correctly. It'll have to do meanwhile though. Thanks for the input.

For some reason I only have GTalk in my IM app. I can't see a way of adding another either. I've tried pressing and holding the screen, nothing happens. I've also tried adding my MSN address as a contact and pressing on it.

Anyone got any ideas. I am in the UK so I don't know if has any difference or not.

Anyone?

Wow. . I went from a sidekick 08 to a G1 and aim is like my fave feature about the sidekick. The G1 is not a phone that seems to be capable with AIM. I constantly get signed out for no reason and when I am on it appears as if I am offline. This was a major disappointment and I seriously miss my kick now!

Are you using the stock aim client that came with the phone? If so I would try one of the other aim apps in the market. See if one of them works better for you.
