Windows live mobile beta problem

Hi everyone,
I have recently installed the Windows Live Mobile, it was working perfectly but now it seems that there is a problem with the 'synchronise'.
When I click the synchronise option, the email can be synchronised, but not the Contacts & Email. It always fails. also, when you open the Messenger, it always no contacts online, but actually there are.
Anyone has any ideas of this?
Thx in advance...

The online contacts appear after ~ 10-20 sec. As for the sync, I do not know.

I have the same email sync problem. I figured it's because my perticipation is still pending for the offical beta enrolment. I downloaded the file from another source so I thought it maybe there server seeing that I'm not part of the beta program yet. Are you part of the beta program or did you do like me and get it from the forums?
My only compaint about this version is they still didn't fix the issue that when you sign in to messenger the first time it adds all your MSN Messenger contacts to your address book, which they are already there so now there are duplicates. I have there full contact card with all there details and now a second one that just has there email and messenger name. It should be smart enough to see that that email addresss and IM name already exist in my address book and link to it instead of creating another one.

Yeah I got the messenger from the froum also.
I have tried to login the Windows live mobile using another ID, it works fine, but just not mine.
I dont know...

I don't like how WLM mobile takes all your messenger contacts and automatically puts them into your 'contacts' on the phone, which ends up in my contacts folder in Outlook. That's horrible, I don't want the two mixed up and now I have no choice, mix them up, or don't use it?
Go delete them from my contacts folder in outlook, that deletes them from my messenger contacts as well!!
Pocket MSN never forced your messenger contacts to be placed or synced into your 'contacts'.

I got that problem too

My messenger contacts suddenly appeared as offline. Strange. No reboot or relogon could fix it. They could IM me but I could not contact them. I suspect that this has to do with the beta, maybe they simply block old betas to force the legitimate beta testers to use the latest version.

Hi guys,
Can someone point me in the direction of this download? I registered with MS Connect but havent had anything back from them yet.
WLM works well on my N91 but i dont have it on my TYTN
Thanks

Same offline contacts problem here...

Doubt you'll hear anything from them, I registered a few months ago and for some reason their registration system was TOTALLY cocked up, so I ended up with a mangled registration and they point blank refused to offer me any useful help.
So now I can log into MS Connect, but I can't see the right live beta tests to join them properly... It sucks. Guess I'll just have to wait on this one.

is the latest WLM on the FTP i couldn't find it? can somebody mirror it somewhere?

Is this the Messenger only ? Or is this the complete Live package which also has a plugin on the Todayscreen...?
And does it still mix the MSN contacts with the Outlook ones ? (ie. double entries)

Complete Package with today plugin.
It sync the contacts

Hi delivery1979,
just a simple question: is it better to install it in the phone mem or it works fine in sd card also ?
Thank you in advance ,
M
p.s. I solve my doubt: the program didn't ask me anything. thanks, M.

As a general rule, install all applications that "attach" themself to the OS(like today-plugins, fix', theme-managers etc and everything else that is loaded automaticly when booting up) to the phone, and everything else(games, GPS, ++) to the storagecard... That way, you won't get errors if you take out/loose/break the SD-card

it does not work on my wm6 device

Don' work too on my lastest HTC rom FRA with GPS.
:-(

what kind of problems you have?

LIve Messanger sucks because it syncronize with the name on your Contact folder so you will have a lot of MSN ID in the contact folder... And if you try to delete the new add on contacts folder you loose it on MSN too

THe cab don't install on the PDA :-(

Its working on my Trinity WM5 with new official GPS enabled ROM. But it has messed up my contatcs with adding all msn IDs there. Now I have deleted those from my contacts but fearing signing in again into Live Messenger on trinity, in case I loose all IDs in messenger as well.
The other problem is, I can only sign in if I am using WiFi to connect to internet, but it doesn't sign in if I use GPRS/3G data connection of the network provider. WHY ????

on mine its sign in with both gprs and wifi when my wifi is on

For other drives they can't connect by using Wifi like p535. I don't know why.

Did this earlier on.
Deleted all the extra contacts on my ppc.
Went onto my desktop, signed into MSN and all my contacts were gone.
I have to ask how stupid are these people who design this crap?

Had the same thing happen to me. Now that I deleleted contacts from trinity they are gone from my messenger live on my pc. This is gay.. So now how do I add them back, resend invitations?

How exactly do you install it. Once unpacked I just have a folder with a lot of files, but how do I install it as a .cap-file?

i have the same problem whit contacts,someone have a solution ?

Isn't there an earlier version which doesn't merge the contacts, cuz this sucks BAD!
F-ing Microsoft idiots

The trick seems to be that once you've synced all contacts to the desktop, you start merging the rest of the contactinfo of existing contacts to their MSN-counterparts, so you get an 'MSN-enabled' contact. After that you delete the old version of that contact and you should be fine...
But then again; i've got that from hear-say... so don't blame me if this doesn't work (i still don't dare usin' the new Live Messenger myself)

Problems with Windows Live

Had a strange problem with Windows live on my Touch Dual. I've previously had it working perfectly. I don't use messenger that much but I love having my hotmail integrated into my phone's inbox.
Recently I noticed that it had stopped syncing. I tried forcing it a few times (ie. clicking on send/receive) but it instantly came back with 'Sync failed'. My first go at fixing it (after trying a soft reset) was to switch account, assuming that I could effectively just reload all my messages without reinstalling. However, once it had wiped all my current messages, it wouldn't let me sign in again. I entered my password, clicked next and nothing happened.
Right, I thought, a reinstall is needed. So I dug out the installation exe and ran it. However, I kept getting a message saying something like 'Installation of windowslive.cab was unsuccessful' with no further details.
I didn't want to hard reset but it looked like it was my only option. So having done a full hard reset, I tried installing and got the same problem - 'Installation unsuccessful'.
This is so frustrating. It was working perfectly before and now I can't even install the damn app. I was starting to wonder if Orange had somehow updated my phone without me knowing to block Windows Live, but as so many other people don't have a problem it can't be that.
I saw the thing about the 30 day trial and wondered if it was connected, but again I thought I can't be the only one.
Help please! I want my hotmail back!
Cheers!

Try to delete saved password and retype then.
Let me know.

Unfortunately, I now don't have the app installed and the problem is that the phone won't let me reinstall.
Can't understand why it won't install onto a freshly hard reset device. Something must have changed!

Where is Live Messenger?
I've got the Orange handset and can't find messenger anywhere so I tried the cab install as per my Trinity but it doesn't work!!!
I neeeed it - what now?

same problem
Hi everybody, I had exactly the same problem a few days ago. Until now I did three hard resets, but in vain :-( Once I finllay manegd to install the client, but configuring it didn´t work. After "Login to Windows live" the setup stopped. Then, I de-installed win live and after that no more installing was possible. Very strange..... NO, I didn´t change anything on the hardware, no roms, no radios, nothing. Any ideas out there ?
Thanks !

Maybe something has changed on the server end?
Try the attached .cab - it works for me:

still no chance... :-(

Thanks for your help, but it doesn´t install. It says "installation failed". Any idea ?

None I'm afraid. If you've hard reset I can't see any reason for it to not install

no Windows Live since 30 June
Having the same problem-- no Hotmail sync since 30 June, can't connect to Windows Live Messenger. Tried deleting Windows Live and reinstalling various versions, to no avail. I always get an error message that the installation was unsuccessful. I tried a hard reset, tried reverting to a backup from months ago, but nothing works. No Windows Live.
There is a brief discussion of the issue on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2315295. It's hard to believe there aren't more people commenting on this problem. Is it unique to those of us who are using the standard WM 6.0 ROM? Until this gets sorted out, can anyone recommend another stable, reliable (and preferably free) Windows Live Messenger client?

personally I have been using Parlingo http://www.palringo.com for my mobile messaging client. seems to do the job well and with the added bonus of PTT it means I dont need to type to people.

working version of Windows Live but no IM
The version of Windows Live on this page http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/languages-en-us.mspx is working on my Kaiser, but they have removed Windows Live Messenger from the package. :-(
Edit: the cab from this page is now working too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1281625&postcount=4. It does contain Messenger. Perhaps the problem is now solved and all the old versions are working again?

i had the same problem go to http://www.ppcwarez.org and search for windows live and choose the one the has fixed in brackets

Windows live mobile fun :(

Hi
I got my HD2 yeasterday flashed it to 1.66 before I even put a sim in it and its been working really well. O2 even sent me a phone I could flash from HTC's website.
One is is that after maybe 1 hour or 4 hours windows live mobile will fail to connnet to msn and pull down emails. Restarting the phone is the only fix.
I have unticked the proxy setting just for it to retick when I click OK. Everything else will work fine just WLM will stop working.
Any ideas why and how to fix it as it is a very helpful feature?

Same, WLM is just useless. It will crash after about an hour starting by "the wireless network is currently unavailable" even if it is, at which point it's impossible to force it to disconnect, to close it, and it will hang task managers that try to enumerate the running processes so no way to kill it. After several long minutes it will finally say "you've been disconnected" stops hanging everything and can be closed, but relaunching it and trying to reconnect will only give a "network is unavailable" popup straight away before it even tries to connect. Usually it will cause lockups to other programs too in its wake, forcing a reboot.
I'd really appreciate a solution or alternative. Slick crashes with memory errors, IMPlus only manages to connect to msn half the time even if other protocols always work... I just can't find any msn client that actually works.

hmmmm guess ill have to wait for an update to appear. Meanwhile im going to unsync my email and do hotmail via pop3/imap.

Please post which version of WLM you are using (or is it just the one with the stock rom?).
I`m using an updated version and it's working flawlessly here (although it had problems syncing in the beginning).

OK:
try this one
http://rapidshare.com/files/333732216/WindowsLive.PPC2005_arm.cab
or
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L4VOCVG1

ive tried the updated version from the market place and it still does it.
I have loaded your first link onto my phone and we shall see how it goes. I have noticed if i leave MSN signed in it seems to do stop syncing and when i sign out msn the email works again.

10.7.0061.0500.2000, which is cooked in the ROM i use (see below).
And they really could make longer version numbers...
OK, downoading yours now.

tried both of them and the fault still shows. I have created a post on the windows mobile forums which I hope MS will see and will get to the bottom of the issue.
Here is the post for those who wish to contribute: social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/5c420f13-001e-42d6-924c-7385b0274221/ <<< Copy and paiste into your browser as im not allowed to post links yet.

i have the EXACT same prob! my life wud be SO much better if this prob didnt exist. its so frustrating i cant stand it anymore!!! come on ive solved EVERY prob on xda-developers somebody MUST knw the answer

I met the exact same problem. So I have to find a 3rd party IM software Beejive IM.
But it's pretty strange that in WM system, we even can't use MSN.
Hope some one could fix the problem.

does the nudge feature work with mobile msn.or do i need to update the version.where can i get the latest version of wlm

I don't use this software, but have you attempted to edit the registry?
EG what is the proxy it defaults to?
Whenever I install a clean ROM, I *must* go in the registry to HKLM/Comms/ConnMgr/Providers/(something)/(something)/Proxy and clear the key - otherwise youtube NEVER works.
The reason behind this is because everytime you load youtube, Youtube assumed ^that proxy was the one you needed, so it copied the value to HKLM/Software/HTC/Youtube/ProxyName, and nothing worked.
I'm assuming similar behavior is happening here?
So my question is: WHAT proxy is it automatically using?

It can't be a proxy issue, because as mentioned msn works, just that it will "crash" after about 1hr of use, and only then won't connect anymore until the next soft reset.

Hi there!
Same problem with windows love here. At best the service is reasonable....most of the time its just not!
Anyway; instead of just complaining I want to make it better and try the new version in the supplied link above. There is a notification however about deleting the older version existig on the phone before installing the new version. Question: how to delete the old version?? It's not in the programlist...
Anyone?

It asks if you want to uninstall, just answer "yes" and it does (or does not, but who cares, it does install the new one afterwards )
The one in the link was the same I already had though, so no help. I'm using IM+ lite now. Not perfect, but at least it works.

HD2
Ok i dont know if this is anything to do with this thread but got a hd2 but msn doesnt work on wi-fi? does anyone know how to get this fixed? it only works on Data
Thanks

Has anyone found a solution for this yet?

Just wondering, why dont you use the default mail client on WM(setup the mail account) and for messenger, use parlingo? I too had my run with Windows live messenger failing me. I actually did what i've typed and became a happier man. Maybe you like to try that?

i use only exchange email sync and that works perfekt. Lets me have gmail on outlook exchange. But it sux that we cant use a microsoft product full out on a windows phone, makes no sense. All rom cookers seem to given up on msn messenger. But setting hotmail only to sync "as ithems arrive" works great.

Yeah I use Palringo but WLM has much better visuals, ah well I'll give up on it aswell.

Hd2 messenger issues

Hey All,
I'm getting issues with my messenger & e-mail "there was a problem signing you in to messenger. It may be the service or you may be in a place with bad reception. Please try again later"
The biggest issue I have is that I can't log in with my hotmail ID where I have all my messenger contacts it doesnt' work on the phone & on my laptop which has the error 80048820 i've tried everything to fix that error & it doesn't work on windows 7 messenger only works on older versions on XP & Vista which is weird. Also on my HD2 if I add another MSN ID it works fine, if anyone knows about this issue or is familiar please let me know. I have already done a hard reset but it's still the same.
Thanks

try the latest windows live version from Marketplace (it is free of course). It worked better for me.
p.s. are you sure you are writing the correct user name & password?

Hey, for the latest version of windows it asks me to remove the old one before adding the new one, how do I do that last time did it I had 2 messengers.
Also I am typing in the correct password I even changed it to a shorter password so that i'm not doing anything wrong. It's really a crazy error, like I said I can't even log onto msn on windows 7 but xp and vista works fine and somehow that's what screwed my messenger on the phone.

Just do a little search, there's a thread with many of us reporting that problem. No solution found apart from using the mail client instead of msn for accessing hotmail, and another IM client like IM+ lite for chat. Haven't spent ages trying various msn versions either though.

It's weird though I mean I have other MSN id's that log in, but just the main one I use for chatting doesn't work on the phone or on any IM app. It all started with Palringo I was using it for free and it worked fine once I purchased it for a premium it screwed up my MSN.

like i wrote in another thead. got hd2 but msn doesnt work on wi-fi it works ok on gprs or on data connection. does anyone know why its doing this?
Thanks
