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.
Cheers,
Drifter
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,
Drifter
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

Hi All,
Got myself a Dopod 900 (HTC Universal) a couple of weeks ago in Singapore, very pleased with it, luckily my pants have large pockets
But... I can't get online by WiFi. GPRS works well enough, but i'd rather not have to pay data fees when I can avoid it!
Anyway I can connect to several different wirelss networks with various access points and routers, but can't open any website or log onto MSN. Connection to the access point is fine, IP address is provided by DHCP, but it looks as if the DNS server is not (even manually specifying the server does not help). When I open IE, the status bar shows Locating.... for about 15 seconds then I get a connection lost error.
And it's the same even if I'm running activesync (I could get online on my XDAII this way)...
So, has anyone experienced something similar or can point me to the obvious configuration that I missed, I would be mucho grateful. 8)
Well this gets stranger and stranger... After installign pocket mechanic I could verify that the DHCP lease was working properly, IP, DNS and gateways are all assigned properly. But, still no IE, still no MSN. Installed agile messenger for the heck of it, and although it gives a lot of connection error in the beginning, I am able to get on MSN.
So, any thoughts? I did a hard reset already, to no avail...
Situation solved, sorta... Installed Opera, works flawlessly... Seems pocket IE just does not like me

It's not just you.. I have the same problems... (You can see my msg in the Universal forum.. Same **** as yours. PIE and MSN would not work as well as any other internal prg using PIE's engine someway or another.. Third pary networking prg work though, dns is fine, ping is fine, name resolving fine.. i don't likw opera and wonder if you solved this weird problem..
Also if you can tell me the list of today plugins and programs installed you have.. i want to see if there's a correlation between your situation to mine...
thanks,

Hi. First of all, I have a uk sim-free X1 with t-mobile. My contract also includes web'n'walk which I selected so that I could use msn messenger and sites such as facebook anywhere I wanted without a wi-fi connection.
However, I've realised that my msn messenger will only connect via wi-fi and will not sign in if I'm using the data connection. This is strange as the data connection works fine for everything else, e.g whether updates, youtube, and opera browser.
I did search the past threads but didn't find an answer as most were about the other problem of not being able to use msn via wi-fi.
I'm hoping that there is an answer out there...Please help me. It's like the one thing that would make my phone almost perfect! Ty in advance.
That's weird! Because mine just connects with data connection and not via wi-fi.
Whenever I try to connect to msn via wi-fi, msn tells me that there is a connection problem :/
I get that same connection problem sign when i try via the data connection
I have the same problem - although I don't use msn that often - it still irritates me.
However, I discovered yesterday that fring works fine - if you install fring, you can use that to access msn - looks a little different, but works with a data connection.
Do you find your data connection to be slow - mine reminds me of the old dialup - I was expecting something more akin to broadband speeds
Good luck.

P.S. If you do find a solution, please post on here.
Yes it is quite slow...but still i would be very thankful to find a fix for this issue!
Mine used to only work over wifi, then suddenly started working over data connection too, not sure why.
The only thing I know I've had to change was to untick the proxy option for the Tmobile connection as with that on gmail wouldn't work, maybe that helps with MSN too?
Overall I've found Live messenger pretty poor, it's very slow, especially to scroll contacts.
I've tried Nimbuzz, that allows access to everything, even Facebook and MySpace.

Oh I rock without even realising!
Nice to see you signed up here too by the way!
Here is what I'm Trying to do:
~Find a Wm6 or Wm6.1 that would allow me to setup and use the phone with out a data connection from A&TT, but would like to only use WIFI to access the Web, email & facebook...etc...etc
~What threads, rom, tricks, cabs or tweaks where used to achieve this... while still being able to use email & the web via WIFI only?
~I've tried several Roms all installed no problem except setting up email accounts and intermittent web access issues when the phone goes into standby.
~I've set up a Window live email account but have very inconsistent connections issues. (Mostly not working)
~Frequent connection errors...
Any suggestion, pointers would be great!
As far as i know the first port of call for wm phones is to try and connect via a data plan, it will only try via wifi if you have it switched on and connected, i havent found a way of getting it to automatically try to connect to wifi. So good luck in finding it , as i have been on here for years and still dont know how to do it.
I know its not exactly useful, but just letting you know, dont think its going to be easy
You can use NoData to prevent it from trying to use a data plan (2G, 3G, etc).
I don't have a data plan at all; this is what I do to force it to use only activesync passthrough or wifi:

The No-data cab did not help.... Did nor notice any changes... Outlook continues to pop open every few minutes. Not sure what the cause is however the phone works fine when I connect it with WIFI. is there some reg-edit to stop the outlook pop up? Let me give some more info that may help...
Using:
~Window Live Hotmail client with in Pocket Outlook
~Do not have a data plan for the phone (AT&T 8525 Hermes)
~The Only way the phone connects to the web or email is via WIFI
All suggestions welcome....

The nodata cab installs the nodata program - check your programs menu. Run the nodata program and you can toggle off your connections.
Hi guys
My girlfriend has a palm treo pro but she has a problem and i was wondering if you could help her out cause i am not able to.
She can't connect with internet explorer to the internet. I have tried all the connection setups provided by her provider but it still isn't working. although she CAN send e-mails and receive e-mails and connect to windows live messenger.
Is this a registry problem or am i still configuring some stuff wrong.
plz help
with kind regards,
kuraki
It doesn't work on either Wi-Fi, or ActiveSync, or Data?
nope. wifi not working either. can you help us?
Have you tried using another browser like Skyfire or Opera? Give them a shot and we can see what happens from there.
On my HTC HD2 after a random amount of time Windows Live will stop working. In Live messenger I get the message "The Wireless network is not available right now. Messenger is trying to re-establish a connecton".
When I try to sync my e-mail I get the message "Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and make sure you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."
If I try the Sync button in the Windows Live application. It gives me the status Reconnecting. And then nothing else happens.
Every other service on the phone seems to be working. I've tried MSN Weather, Bing, Twitter. And all of them seem to work. It's just Live that has this problem.
The solution for the problem with Live seems to be to restart the phone. Can my problems at my provider cause this behavior? Shouldn't it be enough just to disconnect from the data plan to fix this error if it's a problem with my provider?
If there is a problem with a component in the phone, how can I figure out which component and fix that? Is there perhaps a log that I can look in and get a suggestion for what the problem is?
