Same, finally! There's one thing I've noticed, when you're in the app, status available then type on "what are you doing", once you've closed/exited the app it won't change to Idle.. it has to be blank for some reason.
Got a tip for us?

I don't want it changed to idle, so I put a status line on and now it doesn't show me as idle.
Thanks.
Thanks.
this is weird push is not workin on my main account but when I sign in usin another email name push works 
Yes push is working flawlessly so far, I'm using Yahoo! now to check and see if this 2 week thing does really work
techiegirl,
Just an update, somehow they changed it, I wrote something on the status line (i.e. On mobile) after closing the app it shows "On mobile" but with the Idle icon-yellow clock (Available-yellow circle). Before it literally won't change to idle, they're tweaking it I guess.
is anybody having problems with push?
it does not work for me
but if I log off and use another username push works
anybody else have this problem to

Is anybody else having trouble with battery life with Yahoo Messenger on push? My battery was going down so fast I had to shut it off. I don't have that problem with BeeJive.
I just had a barrage of incoming pushed messages and it was a mess on the sound notification so I turned it offPush is working for me. And yes, that noise is hella annoying!
So far, with a day or less of use I can't really say any changes yet. I'm trying to see if the 2-week online really does work. I'll give feedback with regards to battery if it does consume it faster than BeeJive.
Hm, I am having problem receiving files from the other party. It took a bloody time to receive the file and eventually showed a message saying failed receiving file or something. Anyone with this problem?
FYI, I cant receive file either with Beejive. It does not even show if there is an incoming file.

Is anyone having a problem when they get back into the Yahoo Messenger app that it asks for your Yahooo oneConnect userid and password? If I hit home and then go back to Yahoo Messenger it goes into it fine, but the next time that I try to enter YM again it will ask again.
What file exactly? You're referring to the iPhone apps right? You mean photo being sent to you or something else? I haven't had any other file transfers with Beejive except for photos, or voice (video for 3GS)
Nope, my Yahoo Messenger app never asks for any oneConnect password, do you have both apps on your iPhone?
It's been working real nice, but my icon from yahoo messenger on my mac is not showing up on yahoo messenger iphone side, weird.
Display Image right? Same here, you have the latest yahoo messenger on your mac too?
I've deleted Beejive and textfree lite for this. I only want to stay permanently connected to one or two people so we all got messenger accounts and started using this one. Works very well, though I too am missing my avatar and it didn't fill in my name or anything.
If Apple ever makes an iChat app that works in the background, using this as reference would fine by me.

^^ If you added the avatar pics after you've setup yahoo messenger, try resetting yahoo messenger on your iphone. it worked for me, and now have my avatar showing up.
I also stopped using beejive, ym seems to be better in terms of battery consumption on my iphone, maybe it's just me.

I like YM's interface better than BeeJive's, but I'm getting better battery with BeeJive than Yahoo. With YM, my battery goes down 1% every few minutes.
I was about to say this too, I've stopped using YM's app due for the fact that it somehow drains battery relatively fast compared to Beejive's. So back to Beejive for now (I'd still want to test that 2 week thing they said though)
really, I dont have this problem, everything seems normal for me
ray try uninstallin then reinstallin the yahoo app
and how many apps you have that use push? I only have 3
Hmm odd, both of you have no problems while me and techiegirl has something.
Before I begin, all the features on my iPhone 3G are turned on - 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, Location services, Push.. etc. I only have 1 app pushed, which was Beejive, but YM came in so Beejive is now off with push, YM with push on.
I used Beejive since it was released, and just by using it straight for chatting for 10 minutes or so, my battery percent doesn't go down (I'm using a separate app to check my percentage) however when I started using YM with just straight chatting on the same amount of people I regularly talk for 10 minutes, my battery percent goes down 5% if not more (I checked both Beejive and YM after full 100% charging). I did the reinstall, install thing before and I always restart my weekly. Five percent of battery is a little bit bothering for me since I can't always charge my iPhone.
I really need something that would be gentle on battery, so now I've made the switch back to Beejive.
