Hi everyone, I have a K700i (R2L), and I can't make the cmessenger work. I do all the settings, and then it says connecting, but this takes so long that I didn't see it work yet. What could I be doing wrong? |

Possibly you are using wrong wap settings...you have to use the apn "internet"...this was explained a million times around here, use the search function...the settings are the same for any phone

I'm sorry but I couldn't come up with anything in the search. In Turkey, the phone operator sneds you your WAP and MMS settings, and you just install and use them. So, I don't really know what to do... |

Hi Guys! Nothing to worry about cMessenger. Their website was indeed down last Sept 01 for a number of hours, possibly due to maintenance. After that, it's been back on its feet.
A few minutes ago I just finished with a marathon chat with my two sisters - one is in Australia. (I live in the Philippines.) cMessenger never disconnected. It's very stable and what I like about it is that even though the gprs network on my service provider is very congested (it's free, that's why), the sturdy little app never gave up and just tried and tried and tried to reconnect....
Tip -- If you're sure that you have the proper GPRS settings, just let cMessenger connect. I myself left it that way and took a shower. When I came back, all my online contacts were on the screen. |

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it still didnt work w/ my k700i. What's your mobile carrier, Globe or Smart? Mine is Sun. Please post ur gprs setting. I also bought Smart and Globe sims. |

@lyonheart - I'm on Sun also. GPRS setting is standard, just what I downloaded from Sun when I bought the sim. APN wap, IP add 192.168.164.021. It might be that the network congestion was really bad when you tried to access.
If you still can't log in, try your Smart SIM card. Smart is fast and reliable. Globe sim won't work - cMessenger's site is still blocked.
BTW, I'm using a Nokia 7250i. You should have no problem w/ your K700i, it has higher class GPRS and bigger heap memory too. |

@translator_lapid: thanks for the tips, but if cmessenger takes so long to connect, then either it has a compatibility problem with our phones, our the K700i has an issue with its internet. I mean, even with the slowest internet connection, on a PC, MSN messenger takes only seconds to connect.

Cheers! |

@aydahm - I suggest then that you try other IM midlets using the SAME gprs settings. You can download the ff java apps: TipicMe at www.tipic.com or Justyak at www.justyak.com. Try Yamigo also. (Too bad Agile Messenger for J2ME isn't out yet!) If these apps work, then cMessenger may indeed have an issue with either your network provider (site blocking) or your phone (though i doubt this -- other K700i owners have reported successful cMessenger usage).
I am very pleased with cMessenger because it was able to "penetrate" during the "peak hours," i.e., the time when there are so many users of the free gprs. Other web-based midlets, IM or not, would've timed out and disconnected, but cMessenger somehow held on. My 7250i's built-in wap browser was also timing out on all wap sites.
I've also tried cMessenger during non-peak hours (3-5 a.m.,  ). During those hours it connects really fast. Just a few seconds and you're ready to go. |

@aydahm - gunggudotcom's right. Browse known wap sites first using your phone's built-in wap browser. This is the basic test. Then you'll know if your gprs settings work.
Another thing - have you asked your network provider whether they are blocking any wap/web sites? |

it could very well be cmessenger that is the problem. I installed it AGES ago and have used it successfully for a while, but as of a few months back it stays in 'connecting' mode forever.... and I have once let it run for up to 2 hours without getting a connection. I've since tried justyak, im+, a few jabber apps and umsg, all of which DO indeed work on my phone. Cmessenger has never come back to life for me though

My internet on K700i works perfectly, I didn't mean to say that the internet on K700i is problematic. It may just be that it has something to do with Cmessenger; the TipicMe and UMSG also don't work, it says connecting and it never connects. May be there is an issue with my network provider. I called SE and they said that the network provider in Turkey doesn't support these applications. Otherwise, it works perfectly.
BTW, I found out another application that does work and that I can connect to my MSN account, it is e-messenger. From the phone, go to the site:
http://start.e-messenger.net/
and from there you log in to your MSN account. And it works!!!

do you guys know about a similar application for SE K700i that can connect through Yahoo?
I want applications that can use the APN wap, not internet. It's much, much cheaper here with APN wap. |
