Good to know...at least I'm not going crazy or it's something with my phone specifically! I contacted their support department...I'll let you all know what they say.

The only way I can get the keys/display to turn on/start working again is to either plug in/out my phone from the charger. Anyone else having this problem?

Same here, let me know what they say.

quite simple solution to the black screen that seems to be a side effect of using jive, just hit one of the 4 buttons next to the spacebar (? messages camera and speaker phone/ voice recognition ) when the screen goes black and vuala. don't use the messaging button as naturally with a light tap it leads you too your messages. camera and voice work, although if you hold down foor too long obviously you'll enter the programs to which those buttons correspond. I use the ? personally, the worst it does is add a very easily fixed ''?'' to whatever you may be typing. also I noticed that although the screen is blank its fully functional, so I tend to finish what im typing if I am typing at the moment then fix the screen if I don't feel like momentarily pausing.

on a side note this program is exceptional, has potential to blow OZ palringo and others out of the water. at its current stage it almost does, aside from the blank screen glitch, the fact that there is no audio notification at any time, or visual notification on any other screen. also when im typing if it auto corrects an apostrophe it tends to add an extra letter and go back to my buddylist.

I highly recommend this program if your looking for an im program with customizable away, busy, and even 'available' messages. actually I recommend this for any instant messaging Queser.

good day.

In my opinion, still doesn't touch the file transfer and IM abilities of slick.

Slick has major issues of its own though, if anyone is using Adium, Pidgin, or Trillian, they can't see messages sent via AIM using Slick.

Hi everyone,

Just to bring you guys up to speed about the display error. I have gone back and forth with their support group about this issue. They believe that they have identified the problem and corrected it. The fix should be in the next build. Hopefully it'll be released soon!

First, that "hit the keys next to the spacebar" did not work.
When I started the app it informed me that a new version was out. Unfortunately the new version has the same screen issue.

Yeah, version 0.9.0.3 still had the problem. They claim that the next new version will have the problem corrected. They identified it after 0.9.0.3 was released. Hopefully 0.9.0.4 will be released soon!
