AndChat.
Also, moving to the Help Forum.
I'm using andchat myself.
Yeah, AndChat is pretty great.
I use AndChat and I used to use AndroidIRC. Both are pretty good.
Thanks! Now my next question....
I found the address and port number and whatnot but it won't connect?
Type out exactly what you typed into andchat, except do it in a post here.
Haaaang on.
Side note: I found all that on the chat wiki. It's still right, right?
It should be, it was updated relatively recently.
Server Details
Name: EoFF (or Calindora, or whatever you want to name it)
Address: irc.calindora.com
Port: 6667
User Details (examples)
Nick 1: noxiousmobile
Nick 2: mobilesunshine
Nick 3: noxiousphone
Username: noxioussunshine
Real Name: Jim
Other Details
Autojoin List: #eoff
Autorun List: /ns IDENTIFY password (assuming you have registered your nick, if you haven't you can leave that empty)
/join #trivia (or whatever other channels you want it to automatically join upon entering outside of #eoff)
That should hopefully help. If you have already tried setting the server up and want to check you have done it correctly, click on the button to the left of the server name and a drop down will appear - click Edit to check the above is correct. Obviously choose your own usernames, I was just putting in whatever. :p
You can just type /ns instead of /NickServ?Quote:

Yep. :) Or at least, you can on mIRC and AndChat. Dunno about others.
Yeah, /ns is a shortcut for /msg NickServ in many clients, KVIrc included. It won't work in all clients, though.
I use AndChat, too, although I haven't tried any others since I was pretty happy with it from the start. I'm a little curious to try out other ones but not enough to bother.
Just a word of warning - AndChat is fine, but be careful using /ns to authenticate with other clients, when your active window is a channel. I've come across two clients for mobile devices, which would send any unrecognised commands to the channel as messages.
So "/ns identify cheesebiscuit" winds up being "/ns identify cheesebiscuit"
At least as far as Calindora goes, /ns is a server-side alias, so any client that's smart enough to forward unrecognized commands directly to the server will work fine. Then again, there are dumb clients out there that refuse to relay commands they don't recognize. I would suggest making a list of such clients and flushing them down the proverbial toilet.Quote:

i just use client-side aliases and auto-perform commands in mIRC. my password is just used for IRC servers which aren't very critical.
