Rightio, so i have this issue with WLM. I can sign in, sync contacts etc. etc. but when i go to send someone and IM i just doesnt send - and people can't send me IMs. Any ideas? I've reflashed my phone from 2.03 back to 1.93 thinking that it might be a ROM issue, but apparently not. I'm quite stuck for ideas with this one guys.
*BUMP*
Waiting for idea's plz
Same Problem
Hi i have same problem on HTC Touch Pro wm6.1...
Hi,
Try Nimbuzz.com or fringe.com. They are way better than messenger and support multiple protocols (including msn messenger and skype)

dear all,
i have a prototype XDA Exec that's finally decided to give me a problem i can't seem to fix. i can't sign into MSN messenger anymore on it.
when i sign in it'll popup a message saying "Logon to MSN Messenger Service failed because the service is not responding. Please try again later." However it will sign out my already-connected to messenger desktop. however Hotmail seems to work fine. It's just messenger that's not working.
i've tried using another device and i can sign in just fine, so from my point of view it's obviously a problem with the aged version software i have. there's two things i can think of to resolve this. 1. update the ROM and get a newer version of the MSN messenger software which will hopefully work. 2. my version of Pocket MSN comes with an extra tab after "Switch User" under options called "Dogfood" which allows the option of logging and alteration of HTTPS and TCP server. if i could get the new working server addresses then maybe my problem'd be gone. i've been using session.mobile.msn.com for my HTTPS server and services.mobile.msn.com for my TCP server since last september and all's been fine till about 3 weeks ago. i have a feeling they've changed the address sometime in the past month or so?
does anyone have any other solutions or the abovementioned settings for me to try?
okay say i have to take the ROM upgrade option, i have a little problem, both with hardware and software. hardware wise, my prototype unit is from the early design stages, and the keyboard layout is a little different. can i remap the keyboard according to what it currently is? or do i have to apply tacky looking little labels so i can remap myself to the new keyboard? software wise, i have trouble finding something to backup my SMS that i can restore to the unit later when i'm done updating the ROM. also i'm a little worried that production ROMs may possibly not work in my device, can i backup my ROM before i upgrade?
i can upload a photo of the keyboard if any of you need it..
i've tried looking thru wiki and the forums with little success. i found a ROM backup utility @ wiki but i'm not sure if it works with WM5, as it was uploaded @ Jan '05, long before WM5 was even announced. nor is there any info about it working with WM5 or not.
thanks to anyone who can give me any thoughts on this.
I had a problem very similar to this after I upgraded my ROM recently and got the same error messages. I even posted a topic here but the answers I got didn't solve my problem.
Luckily one day, I tried to randomly sign in and couldn't so I tried something different. Under 'Options' scroll to the switch user tab and switch user and sign out completely. Also, on the SMS tab, make sure SMS forwarding to cellphone is unchecked. If asked to confirm, then hit yes and go ahead and sign out. On the Today screen try signing in again.
That should work for you hopefully, as it did the trick for me.
Let me know if you are able to download an upgraded version of Pocket MSN or MSN Messenger.
Good luck!
unfortunately i haven't had as much luck with signing out completely, tried it twice already, hasn't done anything to help~
i've tried looking for an updated version of messenger with no luck either, i'm wondering if hacking the newer roms will find me a cab with messenger in it? and even if i do, will i be able to remove/uninstall the old messenger without having to hack into the ext. rom?

I must admit that I also cant be done with this pocket msn lark.....
The standard messenger on my xda2s and previous ipaqs i had worked fine and very fast to type and send the messages and also to sign on... It also told us when someone was typing a message on the other end wich is something ive never seen on this one.
On this latest messenger built into the rom its just takes forever to sign on (when it does) and alot of the time just drop connection...specially on gprs... sometimes i just have to contain myselfe with frustration just not to do something silly to the exec since i know its not its fault.
@MWANG
What is this file supposed to do m8?
TIA

I have a Wizard not a Universal but have the same problem since I upgraded to the leaked AKU 2.2 & 2.3 roms. With the AKu 2.0 rom Messenger was working fine...
I have got the Touch yesterday. Everythings work finde except the windows live messenger getting some troubles.
Live messenger could not show any people in the ONLINE list after first time logon. I 've reconfigured my msn account, without any problem at first time.
but... the problem happened again. Any idea?
Yessssss, I haven the same problem : no contact and error message !!!!
There's a new version of the messenger client, linked on the hermes general forum.
The new client works fine.
@ bencassie Can you copy/paste this link please?
1st search result on google for "xda developers new messenger" and you get a post with this link -

Are you guys have a Chinese TOUCH?
I had no problem with Windows Live.
If you have an English TOUCH,
I had no problem with Windows Live either.
Now, if you have an English WM6 but loaded a Chinese OS on it, then it may or may not work (mine didn't) with Windows Live.
Windows CE just like its damn older sibling Windows, applications can run into conflicts; PAIN in the rear end.
I own a Dutch Elf, and the problem occurs here as well :-( No errors or anything, just no-one online. They can message you though, but you appear offline in their contact lists :-\
Edit:
Just installed the newer version of WLM, and now its working great
Can someone post the link for the latest WLM? The one I have on Touch is 10.6.0028.2700

If your touchs' MSN Messenger has problem showing online contacts, this version can fix it
Does this version install over the old one thus taking no extra storage space?
Yes, it will install over the existing but it seems that it does take more memory space...
No update necessary
I've found out that deleting your password in windows Live and login in Windows Live with another account and accepting the license thingies again it works like a charm. (long sentence, lazy today)
WLM Build 1400.CAB
When im trying to install this,
Im getting a error, about: you dont have the rights too install this blabla
Anyone knows what to do know ?
I have a french HTC touch and the problem is the same. the only way to be really connected is to configure the connexion on each time.
If i only ask him to connecte the touch seems to be connected but is not.

I was unable to download my own gmail mail, so hopefully this will solve it all.
great work m8
DONT work in aku 1.4.0
It wouldn't work for me either and I need to find a fix for this.
I am running SwiftBL Diamond ROM V7.5 Full and it said it wasn't meant for my version. Any ideas how we can rectify this?
Didn't work for me either. I need to find a fix for this, as I can't send any mail from my outlook mail.
I am running SwiftBl's 7.5 Full rom if that matters. I received an error when trying to run the cab stating that it wasn't for my version. Any thoughts?
Hi,
i'm kinda new at posting messages at this forum.
so please excuse me if i'm making mistakes.
I've got this really annoying problem: i can't send instant messages to my contacts using Windows Live Messenger on my diamond(using the latest official ROM), not when using my EDGE connection or when using the WLAN at home.
I can however load my contact list and view the contact pictures. but just can't start a conversation. i've tried a reinstall of messenger, which didn't help
and i reloaded the ROM, with no result.
so my guess is this is some sort of software problem.
Any help would be very welcome!
thanks in advance
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
