How to configure Jimm for an ICQ server connection

In Jimm, open account settings or network settings and replace the default server with icq.jimm.online. Set port 5190 and choose TCP or a regular OSCAR connection. Use the UIN created during registration as the login, not the email address and not the nickname. The password is the one used when creating the account. If your Jimm build includes proxy settings, keep a direct connection or disable proxy. On old phones, also check the internet profile: carrier access point, permission for Java apps to use the network, and no restriction on socket connections. Some phones ask for network permission every time the app starts; that is normal. If Jimm hangs while connecting, test the same account in QIP on a computer first. That makes it easier to tell whether the issue is the phone or the login data. On Android with J2ME Loader, the settings are the same: server icq.jimm.online, port 5190, UIN, and password.

Where to change the server in Jimm

In most builds, the setting lives under account or network preferences. Replace the default host, set the port, and choose a plain TCP/OSCAR connection with no proxy.

What to do if Jimm hangs while connecting

First test the same UIN in QIP on a computer. If login works there, the problem is almost certainly the phone internet profile, Java permissions, or a restriction on socket connections.
