MobileChat not working on 1.1.3?

[TheMuffinMan_01]

If I try to download MobileChat it freezes during the installation, and when I click on it on my home screen it crashes almost instantly. Any ideas?

Is not just MobileChat, but also Apollo doesn't work. Worst, these two will not be getting updates, so if you want to use them go back to 1.1.2 or 1.1.1.

I think we are just better off waiting for the SDK and having JiveTalk become available as a real chat app.

It works with Nate Trues jailbreak. The dev team break sucks.

Works for me - using Nate's Method

Apollo and MobileChat barely worked on anything below 1.1.3 anyway. heh.

Its an issue with permissions, I've been banging my head over it for days. I just use meebo, suck there is no sounds / vibe though.

It crashes when installing because you do no have enough space for it. Install BossTools and free up some space.
To fix the login problems on MobileChat and Apollo on 1.1.3, just append this to the bottom of your "/ect/host".

Awesome, awesome find! Kudos to you Zal! I already knew about BossTools fix (a must for anyone using 1.1.3). But the Apollo login problem was making me seriously considering going back to 1.1.2 since I use it all the time when I am one the road.

Now I think, I am happy. I got all my apps working.

Do this:
Open up an FTP program (I'm on a Mac and use Transmit) and go to the main folder structure. You will see the following folders:
(1) Applications (actually an alias or shortcut of it if you use BossTools as you should),
(2) bin
(3) cores
(4) dev
(5) etc (also an alias or shortcut)
(6) Library
(7) mach
. . . . and so on and so on.

The folder you want to get into is the "etc" folder. Open that up and you will see a small text file called "hosts" Just open that up in a simple text editor like "BBedit or Simpletext (Mac) or Notepad (PC) and add that copy (that Zal91 posted) at the end of that text file.

Do NOT, I repeat NOT use Microsoft Word to edit this text file as Word puts in all kinds of formatting crap that can really screw it up.

That's it.

You might want to make a backup copy of that "hosts" file in case you screw it up.

But that's it.

This fix works for AIM, but I can't seem to connect to MSN Messenger with it. It reports that it is unable to authenticate. Any ideas?
