I'm finding that when inside an active chat window I'm not getting a notification of incoming messages in Jabber (I haven't tried another service yet, but I suspect it is the same)
If I go back to the contacts screen I get the notification of new incoming messages, but not inside the chat window.
This is quite an issue because:
1) the messages don't always scroll up when new one arrive, and the keypad may cover new messages
2) if you set the phone down and do something else - you will never know if the person you're chatting with has sent a new message.
The only way I can see to get the notifications is to go back to the contacts list after each message I send... not practical.
Is there something I'm missing, or is it my device (Droid Eris).
Thanks.
