Anybody know if Yak-On supports vibrate/sound alerts for incoming IMs? I'm playing with the trial and can't find a way to enable any, but it IS late...

I'm looking for an IM client that will alert me when an IM comes in while the BB is in my pocket or elsewhere.. but not buzz at me repeatedly while receiving IMs in an active conversation.

You have to go to the phone profiles menu, and set the notification for the YakOn, just like you would for any other event, such as phone, messages, and level 1 messages.

Perfection... for what it's worth, I tried trials of WebMessenger mobile IM and IM+, and they both flamed out in comparison to quaint little Yak-On and it's $19.95 price tag.

[BES admin]

Anyone know if Yak-on supports the new yahoo/MSN crossover?

i.e. should my Yahoo contacts show up when I sign into the MSN client with yak-on as they do with my MSN beta?

Currently I can only see a list of my "co-workers" no other contacts, online or offline, yahoo or MSN, appear.

I am new to Yak-on, so maybe I missed something. It does look nice though.

...particularly the affordable price tag.

[flash24]

I love Yak-On.. I've tried.. verichat, ramble, IM+ and webmessenger.. their all good but I Yak-On is the best for me... and it's cheaper too.

I am having the same issue - the program is not connecting or getting out to any servers. Yak-On support is working with me to try and resolve the issue. I'll let you know what I come up with. Just for FYI:

8700c on Cingular, BIS with TCP working (SSH, Ramble, working fine).

Need a 10th post to post a url so here it is.....I have a new thread in the aftermarket software forum for folks who are on TCP and having trouble getting Yak-on to work.

net.rim.device.api.system.controlledaccessexceptio n


If i hit no its ok i can open the program and reply.

When i get the error it kicks me out and unless i have auto sighn in doesnt sighn me back in.

any help is greatly appreciated! the program seems excellent

[CableGuy711]

im getting the EXACT same error.
did u get it resolved?

I emailed Yak On!'s support with my log to see if they can figure it out.

I do have ramble, pocket day and google maps installed

thats the only 3rd party software i have installed.

[CableGuy711]

Brian from Yak On!'s Support replied within like 20 mins of me sending that message from his Blackberry. He says there is a known issue with the 8100, and they have a beta out to fix it. I would suggest emailing .

GREAT service from Yak On! I do believe I will be purchasing this Client in a few days

[absolved]

I've tried it after reading, I like Yak On a lot. Just no privacy setting though (settings from AIM don't import to the one on BB) which bugs me.

[payroll]

I have a 8100... When I log on it just brings me to my buddylist and no buddies show up and the AIM icon isnt lit up (although the world thing is lit)? Then I get this error after a few minutes... "Could not get license pack from Server, connection error: Unable to open connection"

My APN settings are correct wap.voicestream.com Tmobile said over the phone... What else could be wrong?

[Peterme]

Last week I tried all the IM clients on my 8700. Yak On had the best control panel, but it didn't stay connected very well. And it cut my battery life down to nothing, even if I wasn't using the phone or any apps. I ended up using WebMessenger.

The "crashing on pressing yes to popup bug" was fixed in version 1.10.30. I'm using Yak-On on my 8100 right now. It still eats up battery life much quicker than the other third-party AIM programs, but I'll live with it.
