Ok some of you might find that Apollo IM application has stopped working. Many lucky people have it working, while others get an infernal Cannot Authenticate: Cannot connect error.

Let's run a Poll to see how many people want a solution for said problem
 
Works fine in both versions of 1.1.3. The dev version you just have to edit the host file.


http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/sho...t=apollo+1.1.3

in your /etc folder, open the file called hosts in a simple text editor (NOT word).

Copy and paste this at the end of the file:

64.12.161.185 login.oscar.aol.com
64.12.161.185 login.messaging.aol.com
65.54.239.140 messenger.hotmail.com

209.85.163.125 talk.l.google.com


That should do it!
 
Thanks bbplayer, worked like a charm. Too bad apollo app isn't as robust as beejive :(
 
I voted no because it's the one app I've 'never' been able to get working. Ever.
 
PLUS - if you ssh into the phone via Fugu, etc. it leaves crap everywhere in the phone and deleting the app via installer doesn't remove most of it.
