Yahoo servers rejected the sms validate. Response code is 401.

Any ideas?

what the heck?

Edge works fine for me when I'm on the underground but mileage seems to vary for some people in flaky connection areas, I've had occasional problems when I've moved from Edge to 3G (or vice versa) when the app is running. Very rarely it gets twisty and won't connect at all after this happens but flicking the phone to airplane mode and back again has always resolved this for me (or you could restart the phone, but the airplane flick is quicker).

PEBCAK...

I just hate leapfrog updates. The 1 star is for "neglect" and yes, it is indeed punitive. Just as all of the "Best App Ever" reviews are "sucking up" before thoroughly examining everything (which I confess I once did also).

If there was a problem achieving icon support, I wouldn't make a big deal of it... but the crappy IMs can support them. The fact that "it's not a big deal" is exactly the point. Why not fix it if it's not a big deal? All Beejive cares about is AIM, and now their focusing their next efforts on Group Chats for the kiddies.

Sure, it's an annoyance, but it doesn't really hurt usability that much in my experience. I don't know how much energy was focused on adding media support, but given the function displays I suspect it was pretty involved. I would definitely like to see more IM service support (esp Facebook) and configurable auto-email on session close (ah, memories of Verichat).

But is it worth changing a 5 to a 1? Not in my opinion. That just sounds punitive to me. shrug

I agree with the poster who commented on icon support... I do wish that worked more consistently. I still get confusing results for my Yahoo accounts. sigh But that is a minor issue for me overall.

I have had so-so performance from trying to take a photo from within the application. I've had much better performance by taking photo outside app and sending from my camera roll.

I'll need to play with this some more when I'm home later to see what the other end sees when I send them media. But I've been surprising a few of my friends with media stuff during the day and none of them had any problem opening what I sent. So I count that as a pretty good result.

But with some of the crashes in odd spots, and weird display artificats in the title bar area, I'm working on some emails to support and expecting we'll see bug fixes pretty rapidly.

They add new useless features and can't even fix icon support like the lousy free IMs have managed to achieve... so I can tell who the h*ll I'm IM'ing? Totally unprofessional. I'm changing my 5 stars to 1 star. Very neglectful and unacceptable.

FYI: If you want SMS notifications you can do 'xxxxxxxxxx@txt.att.net'. Keep in mind that you will get changed towards your SMS rate... so if you're a heavy IM'er you might want to be sure you have the unlimited SMS plan. Otherwise, once you go over your limit, extra charges will occur!

Sure, this is just cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality, but I hope they'd fix broken sloppy-looking interface problems before adding new features. If they haven't, I'm subtracting 4 stars from my current 5.

BeejiveIM is without a doubt, the best instant messaging program out there... I was a Sidekick3 owner before the iPhone 3G and that usually gets everyone's vote as the best instant messager device, but with BeejiveIM you can't even compare.

After this update, they plan on implementing Facebook IM. Now THAT is what I am excited for!

Your sentence "can the old best be the newer better" gave me the impression that this version will be "lesser" that 1.0.

Shouldn't it be "can the old better be the newer best?

Again, good review for a wonderful app.
