Smartvas settings / info for the 'My Friends' embedded IM client


Click to view updated thread with images




Posted by goldenface
I thought this deserved its own thread, seeing now that yamigo seems to have been abandoned.

It is much quicker than yamigo although it doesn't support yahoo IM, only msn, at the moment.




Once this has been set up, logging out and logging in again should allow smartvas to retrieve your current MSN contacts. On newer phones this is not required, your contacts will be retrieved automatically in a matter of seconds.

This will be a maximum of 30, so you may have to prune down your list to your most important or most popular.

Hope this helps and feel free to add an corrections/ updates.

The current list of compatible handsets is : -

Sony Ericsson F500i
Sony Ericsson J300i
Sony Ericsson K300i
Sony Ericsson K500i
Sony Ericsson K600i
Sony Ericsson K750
Sony Ericcson T206
Sony Ericsson T630
Sony Ericsson T637
Sony Ericsson W800i
Sony Ericcson V800
Sony Ericcson Z1010
Sony Ericsson Z800i

...or any with the My Friends option.

EDIT: My Friends, Smartvas, Instant messaging, IM, MSN.

good post!!!

log in fail

Posted by goldenface
Update Bump!

On older phones like the s700i, the internet setting of the phone ...

connectivity > internet settings > internet profiles > more > settings > internet

...had to be changed over to wap in order to log on to My Friends.

This had to be changed back to http in order to use Opera Mini.

This is no longer the case with the newer phones - say from W900i onwards as the phone seems to detect the change and switch automatically.

Could you not just create two internet accounts one wap one http?
That's what I used to do but I agree that you don't have to do that now.

It used hardly any data too which is good.

Posted by goldenface
You could, but in Internet Profiles we can only select one or the other - not both.

Posted by Manuel_max
Excellent post!!!

Finally I use this Application!!!

Posted by goldenface
@Manuel, thanks.

More info!

Most recent SE mobiles support TCP CIR, which means the Smartvas server is able to notify the client the instant a message has been received. If this is not supported your mobile will poll for messages every 30 seconds or so.

Also, regarding your Smartvas password, this has to be 6 or more characters. Users have reported problems logging in with short passwords.

Tried registering for this last night, but I haven't received an email from them yet to confirm my registration Does it normally take a while to come through?



Posted by goldenface
It should come through instantly - mine did.

Posted by bico
Mine too.

Posted by noahweigh
weird, must just be me then!

Will try again with a different email address......fingers crossed

Posted by englishmanabroad
I registered a few days ago with a hotmail address - and have yet to receive any confirmation email. I tried again using NTLWorld and received confirmation straight away.



Posted by noahweigh
ok so, hotmail, yahoo and orange email don't seem to work!

Gmail works fine

All up and running, great service. Thanks

when i receive any call, the friends Application loggin out !! few minutes later when i close the call it connects , why?

Posted by noahweigh
it's because the GSM call you are receiving interupts your GPRS session

Posted by TopSpin
Thanks noahweigh


Posted by rehan657
I still cant log in ... it says network problem...but why?

Posted by goldenface
Is anyone else having trouble connecting tonight?

Posted by floke
I'm also having problems logging in.
I have a k700i and it is not in your list. Is it intentionally left out?

Posted by goldenface
@Floke.

No. As long as it has My Friends listed in the Messenging Menu then it is covered.

It has been down for couple of days now. Smartvas say it should be up and running again anytime.

I have been checking the Forums on the site but nothing as yet.

Its a pity because it is normally so reliable and this is the 1st time I have encountered an outage like this.

Posted by sielski666
does yr phone not have my friends

Posted by floke
no, my k700i has My Friends but I thought that since it was left out in Goldenfaces post I thought i might be incompatible with smartvas.

Is smartvas still not up and running?

Posted by goldenface
Its seems to working fine as from last week sometime.

Is yours not working floke? If you look at the bottom of the first post it also says 'or any with the My Friends option.'

I've just logged in fine on my phone.

Hi

Is this still down I can't get it to log in on phone or get into the website. Curiously my login and password all wiped out of the phone but left all other details in the profile.

Posted by goldenface
The stupid things gone down again. Grrrr. Didn't know the website was down though :-(

Posted by shindecs
Is there any other site which provides same service ?

Posted by goldenface
There is but Yamigo has been very unreliable for a long time. I thought Smartvas would be different

Posted by superunknown
Waiting waiting for a new service.

Posted by goldenface
It seems to have just disappeared. GRrr.

Posted by slugworth
aparently smartvas has died...

Posted by marran

Posted by slugworth

Posted by floke
Too bad its gone It was a good service.

@marran: Yamigo is still there. Just to check I logged in at this very moment.
Unfortunately Yamigo is rather sluggish and that was not the case with smartvas.

Posted by Manuel_max

I use it today!!!!


Regards...........

Posted by floke

Posted by goldenface

I was able to configure and connect to Yamigo but was not able to fetch Yahoo and MSN contacts

Posted by floke
yamigo is still up and running.

Posted by shindecs
hey good news,
smartvas service has once again started !!!!

Posted by goldenface
Its about bloody time too.

They were just moving the server or something.



Posted by goldenface
Update bump!

I emailed for a list of their handsets that support TCP/CIR and they sent me this list back - although it may not be so accurate as the W900i was not listed and I know mine supports it.

Maybe they just missed it out - I need to find out so if anyone has one of these handsets and using Smartvas but it has to poll every 30s to retrieve a message then please post.

Z500a
Z502a
Z1010
T630
S700
K750
K700
K500
F500
K300
V800
T230
W600
Z520
W800

Like u can only hav 30 contacts, how do u choose wat 30 u want? ive tried deleten em n seein if new ones appear but i still end up not having the ones i want. is there a way of choosing?

Posted by Red_Rach
Mmm just tried this today with my K800i and I cant get in. Has anyone else managed to get in using a K800i?

How do I change my password? I'd like to double check I've done everything ok.

Posted by goldenface
@Red_Rach

To change your password:

Log and and click on Edit Profile.

The administrator says you don't have to change your password but people have found that they can log after they have done.

Make sure it is longer than 6 characters.

You select the ones you need from your msn list. There is a second list on the Smartvas site under My Smartvas

im so glad i paid for IM+ from shapeservices cuz both yamigo n smartvas are so inconsistant,plus status msg's dont work or give the wrong status,cant appear offline,cant see contacts online sumtimes or login fails. why did they even bother wiv 'my friends' if this is the crap service we get,no wonder networks take it away when they brand these phones.

sorry,but it has to be said,it sucks! big time! the potential is there,shame its only half a service

Posted by goldenface
PM for you DJ

Posted by Red_Rach
Has anyone else noticed that SmartVas isnt working again or is it just me?

Posted by Dj Boyi

Posted by kulorex
I tried yamigo but all i get is the autobots' messages. i can't see any of my contacts online. even though they are online when i check my pc's msn.
i'm using a free java program 'mig33' it's cool. i think you should try it. www.mig33.com
