Yahoo Messenger Update...now with push

[TonyL08]

Has anyone tested to see if it really keeps you logged in for 2 weeks? The new app is pretty awesome though

I was logged out once last weekend, but I don't know if was after two weeks or not. Either way, it was far more than 24 hours or 3 days from the other IM apps. It's really been pretty much perfect so far.

I was testing the whole 2 week thing on 2 different iPhones - both were disconnected in the past hour (logged in like less that 12 hours before that). I wonder if Yahoo flushes their server every few days?

I have been using Messenger on my iPhone (with push) for the past 3 weeks flawlessly. I also use the desktop version of messenger. The two work seemlessly...I log into the desktop at work and it logs me out of the iPhone. Then, while leaving work I log into the iPhone and all messages are sent to it.

Only...today (8/7/2009), suddenly the iPhone app won't stay open. I see it is trying to connect to the yahoo server and suddenly closes. Over and over again. Wonder if anyone else is having this issue.

Did not get a rush of people confirming so I assumed this must be affecting just me. Starting thinking that with the timing of things perhaps I got one of the 1.2.? versions that was buggy. Basically could not get the app to load for more than 2 seconds since yesterday. So...I uninstalled and redownloaded/installed. Seems fine once again. And, only after doing that I realized that my problems began some time yesterday since I got a few messages delivered to me today that were sent yesterday.

I've had this problem before when my data connection gets stuck. Try open Google in Safari, if that doesn't work then you know it's ur data connection. Try turning phone off and on or just turn airport mode on for like 20 sec and then off again.

Good luck

Just now tracking another issue. I turned a friend of mine onto the new push version of messenger. Only he has an Touch and I an iPhone. It seems over the weekend he was missing some messages I had sent to him. We were wondering why they were not delivered to his touch. We are now thinking the culprit has something to do with the version he uses while on a desktop. He is using the web version of messenger while I am using the loaded desktop version.

NOTE: before posting this sequence I wanted to let you all know that we have been using this for weeks now in the same way and all was working fine.

Here is the sequence of events:
- he is logged into messenger on the browser all day on Friday
- at the end of his work day he logs off the web/browser version (I see that on my side too that he logged out)
- a short while later he is home and logs in on his touch
- the touch goes to sleep (normal stuff)
- later that evening I decided to send him a text and his status showed as idle (normal stuff when the touch/iPHone go to sleep)
- he never got the event delivered
- on Monday, when arriving at work he logs into the web version and is delivered the message

Ideas?

Has anyone not been able to send any images?
I have tried to send and receive and I keep getting the "failed" error message on my end and also theirs.

I have all my notifications on but that doesnt seem to be helping.

Any ideas? Thanks
