Can someone help me to get MSN messenger to work?
I did hear that it only works if you have a GPRS connection but I want it to work with WLAN.
Is there a way around this?
A Search on this forum didn’t reveal anything or I did something wrong to get it.

hi, have my msn working via WLAN without any problems - what error msg's are you getting??
Hi,
It takes a wile before I get an error message and it looks like messenger is hanging.
After about 2 minutes it says "logon to msn messenger service failed because the service is not responding. Please try again later".
But if I use IE then I can log in.
Cheers,

That could be because MSN is being typically slow - i quite often have the same problem. However, since enabling wireless G it has become more stable.
If you can get IE over wireless then i think you have a software / hardware problem - just a MS one :wink:
This can also happen if you do not have "Connects to Internet" checked in your work network setting. Check this and other Work / Internet list boxes and have a play ... it took me a while with the same problem but sorted it eventually.
Thanks for the tips but everything seems to be in order accept for MSN messenger.
If I check my firewall I can see that my wizard does connect to the internet.
My firewall logs says that it’s trying to connect to services.mobile.msn.com.
Hopefully it isn't the test rom I'm using
Uni running latest rom.
Info :- Yesterday Activesync working at home and at work through USB.
Got home last night and thought I will set up my bluetooth conenction at home. Did this no problem at all the Uni connects through Bluetooth fine.
Get to work today and Uni Will not sync through USB.
I have gone through these Forums and can not find anything. Activesync just keeps saying connected.
Help !!!!!
Me again.
I have been through the Forums on this site and tried all the stuff on here.
Can I have on PC connect by bluetooth and another via USB.
I have tried soft reset and Activesync still says Connecting then times out after a long time.
Any help on this matter would be good.
Yo!
Can I have on PC connect by bluetooth and another via USB.

Yes. For my Xda Exec I have a USB connection to 'WORK-PC1', I have also set up a WiFi internet connection at work. Then, when I get home I use a Bluetooth connection and surf the internet using my 'HOME-XP-PC' connection via anothre ActiveSync 4.1 partnership (and also via a USB cable link if I want).
Alot of reference is made (here & other web sites) to ActiveSync & issues with partnerships: it appears that the thing to do is delete any troublesome partnerships, reset the PC & set up the partnership again.

CraptiveSync
Here we gop then :-
Active Sync :- Work PC (USB) Home PC (Bluetooth)
Have Wi-fi working no problme at home or work.
I have had to hard reset my UNI. Now both work and home connect fine using usb.
I set up BT on Home and the usb connection stops working. Also will not sync usb at work.
soft reset nothing. turn BT off nothing. Hard reset again and it syncs with both pcs usb.
Bluetooth on work pc this time.
Same again once BT set up will not usb sync.
GOD I HATE ACTIVE SYNC. In fact im renaming it to CraptiveSync.
I have no tired this in as meny ways as can set up BT first then USB.
BT and BT on both pc's works fine. but will not usb.
USB first then BT.
My experiences with this type of CRAP so far has led me to believe:
1) It's NOT ActiveSync - it's OK as long as v4.1 is used. Ensuring that WinXP Pro uses SP2 etc. etc.
2) It's NOT the PDA - only a handful of options HOWEVER one crucial thing I have learnt is:
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections (icon):
Advanced (tab): > Select Networks:
Ensure BOTH options are set to 'My Work Network'.
3) If there are any issues, IT'S AT THE PC END OF THINGS and it's this multitude of crappy layered & hidden options and badly written drivers that casues ActiveSync (et al) to go AWOL. :evil:
Oh, & ongoing issues I have with COM ports.....
Andy
CraptiveSync issues still happening.
Hard reset both Pc's connect fine using USB. As soon as either PC is switched to Bluetooth and a connection is set up USB STOPS WORKING.
IT WORKS FINE until Bluetooth set up.
Anyone ??
USB Activesync Issue
I'm getting the same issue, but I only connect through USB. I sync to a work PC and a home PC. It all worked fine straight after reflashing (a mere two weeks after I got the damn thing, too many problems with the slow Orange ROM).
It started with the "Connecting..." message staying on the screen on the home PC. I have just now deleted all partnerships on the PC and am trying again. It's now just saying "Retrieving settings..."
I'm going to rename the phone and try again from scratch.
I don't know how Activesync works but I'm wondering if maybe the version of it on my phone, that was installed during the reflashing is different/incompatible with the version on my PC. I have no idea if Activesync is installed during the flashing process or if it somehow sits there throughout. Does this sound reasonable? If it is the case, how does one go about checking the version of AS on the phone?
Any help appreciated. TIA
SORTED THE BLUETOOTH ISSUE
I have sorted out the Bluetooth isssues I was having in this thread.
Heres how :-
Home pc (Bluetooth) Work pc USB.
Hard reset the UNI (This restores active sync back to default settings).
Set up USB pc first.
Then set up Bluetooth Pc.
It works.
I noticed while buggering about last night that there seems to be something up with one of the network adaptors and IP addresses but honestly I don't know enough about TCP/IP to do anything with it!
I managed to sync using a BT connection but it seemed to take an age.
Won't reconnect bluetooth
I'm having what appears to be a distinct problem. I have a T-Mobile MDA which I synch by cable at the office, and by bluetooth at home.
This arrangement worked for a while, but now every time I disconnect the bluetooth, I can't reconnect until I go into bluetooth settings, choose devices tab, find the home PC partner, press and hold for edit. There I see the Activesync service checked, but if I refresh, the Activesync service is unchecked. If I check it, I can synch via bluetooth without difficulty.
Any ideas? This clearly seems to be a problem with the PPC Activesync.

This problem -- I have to edit the bluetooth connection on the PPC -- has a slight wrinkle. Just unchecking and checking the Activesync service on the devices edit will make it possible to connect. It is as if the service is actually unchecked when it appears checked.
zone alarm & active sync
I just figured it out from my end ... with the :connecting" activesync problem. It seems that Zone Alarm was the culprit and since then everything has been working fine.
hey underwurlde how do u surf the net on ur universal via ur pc? i ve been tryin since i dont kno wen but havnt been success full. on connectin them by bluetooth it asks for a dialing number or a pass. which will be used to connect

I would love to know the answer to this one.
I was surfing on wifi last night. Now today activesync just says connecting for ever when using USB.
I read on the MS website an old post that said if you do many soft-resets usb activesync may be imparied and you need to do hard reset. There is no way I will reinstall all my apps again. I am sure this is a firmware thing.
Something has become corrupted in the universal's program storage. hard reset just effectively reinstalls everything. Perhaps re-installing one of the cabs from the extended rom will solve this problem.
anyone have any suggestions or sovled this problem themself ? (my problem is definitely not firewall!)

Firstly Essgee Im assuming your craptivesync connection is on your home pc via bluetooth. It makes no odds if its bluetooth or usb. If its a work connection it might be a firewall thing. I can ot surf the web at work on my ppc as the fire wall will not let me.
Home PC. Or slack work firewall.
Sync with PC. Open ActiveSync up. Go to file and the connection settings. In the drop down box marked as "This computer connects to" change it to the internet. You should now be able to surf the net.
Let me know ??

This happend to me. I had to hard reset PPC and it has not happend since. Dont know what went wrong. I did read somewhere that WI-FI connected to a WLAN and then BLuetooth Activesync don't get on when both are trying to connect to the internet. (This was my problem).

I didn't actually use bluetooth, just wifi. It might be another reason, it might be because we disconnect the PPC from the PC when activesync is doing something, or making a call, and this corrupts something on the PPC. It definitely not the PC as I tried different ones and also reinstalling activesync and wiping registry entries.
Anyway I had to do a hard reset, and it all worked again. Damn it!
ActiveSyncToggle
If you are having trouble with the reconnection problem -- that is, having to reboot the PC and/or soft reset the Wizard to get a success, I have found that most of my problems were reduced by using ActiveSyncToggle to shut off Activesync, and disconecting the bluetooth connection on the PPC rather than shutting off bluetooth.
ActiveSyncToggle solves the PC problem entirely (I never have to restart PC) but I still sometimes have to go to PPC bluetooth connection, click on the PC and uncheck and re-check the activesync service. This is clearly a software problem, since the service is checked but acts as if it is unavailable; unchecking and then putting the check mark back cures the problem.
ActiveSyncToggle solves another problem for me. Sometimes in boot up, the bluetooth starts after activesync, which causes an error "can't find the com port" from activesync. Since I now shut off activesync, I don't get these error messages.
Not exactly plug and play, though.
Hey guys,
Strange problem I got here... I connect to internet via WiFi, use any internet app without any problem, except for Pocket IE and Outlook. I have no idea why is that so because few weeks ago all that worked fine!
I suppose Pocket IE doesn't know about existing connection, it doesn't seem to try to use it (no "Locating..." or this sort of stuff), just "Connecting..." for 0,25s, then "0 kB" for 0,25s, that's it!
Maybe you've experianced sth like that, I don't feel like hard-reseting my Wizard again...
Thx, TroLoo
Get Net Front for PPC v3.3 Much better.
Hello,
I have a huge problem concerning my XDA Neo (Prophet)!
Months ago I had a XDA Mini and when it was connected to my computer I had an internet connection on my XDA.
This does not work on my XDA Neo. Im not able to establish a connection and I really need to, because several programms (SPB Insight) need to update via Internet, and normally they would start automatically but they cant connect to the internet!
I tested Pocket IE and it doesnt work either! If I establish a connection via GPRS everything works fine.
Are there any differences between XDA Neo and Mini that could explain this problem? Do i have to change settings in order to get a connection?
Did i miss anything else?!?
Please Help, I didnt find anything useful via Search or via Google. Everything was related to WLAN !
Thank you in advance!
Jack Bauer
Well, it works .. now?!? Dont ask me why. I established a new partnership (did this 2 times .. before), and now I have a connection!?
If someone has a clue why it didnt work ... tell me !?
Bauer
Two possibilities:
1) Firewall, since with WM 5 and up the device is recognized as a network by the PC.
2) Mismatch in settings between ActiveSync->Connection settings->'This computer connects to...' and (on the phone) Settings-Connections->connections->Advanced->Network selection
Hi, i had a similar problem, tried a few things, and it worked
1. On your device, open Connections, click Advanced :
Select MY ISP for programs that connect to the internet
Select MY WORK NETWORK for private network
2. Open Activesync, Connection settings, Select "Internet"
Try and see if that works, if it doesnt, there is a LVM Reg patch file in this forum for the desktop, which makes it work for sure.

I have a slight problem with youtube: It plays fine over Wifi but NOT over the data connection. It loads the Streaming Media app, displays 'connecting' then buffering and then an error: 'No audio frames found'
If I enable Wifi it works just fine. The data connection works well for everything else, it's not using a proxy and it's set to conenct to the internet. It also seems to download the data as my GPRS data counter is showing a few MB's downloaded.....yet nothing played.
Has anyone seen this before?
TIA
No One? We'll I'll try a hard reset then....
I never had such a problem...
Well....after a hard reset and some testing I found that it seems to work on one AP but not the other. Strangely enough, the Streaming Media player uses the conenction I set up for it but unless both Internet and Private connections (under Settings/Connections) are also configured to use it it still does not work right. Using Internet sharing from the phone it works with either access point.....however that would make any sense..... I assume the mobile youtube page must use a different protocol for streaming than the page I get to se on the laptop. Anyway, I'm on Telstra....maybe on other networks you don't get these kinds of headaches ;-)
