MSN Messenger not working, ROM upgrades

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 update the ROM and get a newer version of the MSN messenger software which will hopefully work. 2.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.

What is this file supposed to do m8?

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...

WM 6.5 0x80070057 Email Sync!

Hi,
I upgraded my trinity to wm 6.5 by PDAVIET and i have a problem to sync mail to my exchange server. First time i managed to sync my mail then it stoped and i'm getting error code 0x80070057 any idea?
Thanks
TeT

Same problem with Chanvi's WM6.5
So I am not the only one with this message...
No idea what it is, or how to resolve it, but i've got the same problem with sync to an exchange server, using another rom.
Probably it is something to do with MS buggy Active Sync.
Sorry, no knowledge how to resolve it... Just letting you know you are not the only one reporting it, and it is a bug in the OS as it shows on at least another WM6.5 cooked rom.

In normal activesync'ing through USB - i have read you untick all the options to sync and retick them one by one after that.
Do you want to give that a shot?
I had this problem after fully syncing once. So i read somewhere, untick all the options (Calendar, email, etc) and retick them one by one.
I dont know why, but it worked for me. So maybe give that a whirl?

Hi,
Doing this fixed it for a little while - receiving emails worked ok.
However, as soon as I tried to send/reply to an email, it went back to the same fault.

Updated a prophet to wm6.5 also get 0x80070057
Is there a sollid solution for this error yet?:confused

Same error on Samsung Omnia
Hi All... just wanted to chime in here, even though I use a Samsung Omnia. Having installed a custom 6.5 rom I'm getting the same error, so would presume it is a bug within the 6.5 build rather than any specific rom. I've seen it reported elsewhere on xda-developers that it appears to only affect those of us syncing with Ex2003 - Ex2007 seems to be OK.
Mike

Ex2007 seems to be OK
'Ex2007 seems to be OK' bu I only sinc with my local outlook acc. and the issue only happens when I try to sync subfolders and/or attachments. Hope there's a solution somewhere soon.

i have had this issue with 6.1 and 6.5 roms...
If i sync with wifi or USB or HSDPA i always get this error.
There is only i thing that bugs me.. the very very very first time that i sync everything works like a charm, the second time sync stops..
unchecking mail seems to work, , but i want my mail..
I found some site on this issue but i lost the url.. it was a MS site stating that is was seemed to be some issue on using exchange and sharepoint..
i am trying to fnd it.. but this really s*cks..

Hi All,
I am not sure if you already have an answer for this but this is what i did which resolved the similar problem for me. Sounds Easy!!
1 - uncheck all (emails,contacts,calendar etc) from options
2- save the uncheck.
3 - go back and check back again but only your calendar and save it and hit sync. Once this is done, check another one and sync and then another and sync and Hopefully this should resolve the issue for everyone who is getting an error for 0x80070057.
Please Note : check one and Sync. checking all and syncing would pop up an error again.

I just tried this, now my Activesync is not showing the error, it's not showing the error anymore, but it's not syncing either, i tried seding out a test email and it stayed in the outbox, even after syncing.

Nevermind, the error is still there.. see screenie.

I tried multiple 6.5 roms and had the same issue. I went to 6.0 and was fine and then tried 6.1 and was able to get 6.1 to work fine (using MobileVista v1.1 on my Kaiser (AT&T Tilt))

I just installed the newest build 21202 from itje on my Xperia X1a and I can confirm that this is no longer an issue in this release.

MIRI WM6.5 23017 - Google Activesync issue

Hi Guys,
This is my first post as I usually never have any problems sorting my issues out due to this great forum.
I am using HTC Touch HD (Originally UK Orange now flashed with [ROM][WWE][22.08.2009] Miri WM 6.5 23017 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 7.1
My problem is discribed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471267
I sync my calendar and contacts with gmail and basically it is clear that when adding contacts to the favourites screen this causes an error. The error is the one described in the other thread.
"There has been a change on your server that requries you to re-synchronize all items on your device. You may lose changes since your last successful sync"
I have tried all the things suggested in the previous thread and have also tried using NuevaSync but again I still get the same error message.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a registry setting to disable the field that the favourites screen is using and syncing with?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Keep up the good work everyone!

since this is your first post, we'll cut you some slack. your best bet for finding a solution (if you haven't done so already) is to post your issue/concern/problem in Miri's ROM thread. he is very good about responding to users and reported issues. hope you get your issue resolved.

haha thanks for cutting me some slack. Last night I flashed with Duttys HD Leo R4 and this problem still occurs under exactly the same conditions.
So it would now be pointless to post in MIRI's rom thread as this isn't only happening on his ROM.
Any other suggestions or a point in the right direction would be good?
Cheers

is it pointless to ask? the ROMs have similar functionality, but come from different components. i'd still ask if could be fixed with a registry edit and/or if he knows why the problem occurs. the worst you'll get is a NO. your choice.

haha good point. I have done some more searching and know that when you add a contact to the favourites tab it creates a field in the contactdatabase called HTCFavorite. Obviously Google don't have this field which is what is causing the problem. The only solution would be to somehow stop activesync from syncing this field. Does anyone know if its possible to select which fields are sync'd during an activesync? Potentially a registry setting or xml file?

I had this problem and after some hunting around found it was most likely to be caused by an interaction between Active-sync and Pocket Outlook, I stopped syncing the Email with active-sync over two months ago and have not had it happen since (previously had it happen twice over three days)
Not a complete solution since you loose the Active-sync email, but stopped having to have a complete re-sync and lose the contacts/HTC Favorites connection all the time.

After messing about last night I created a group in my google contacts called HTC Favorite. I then assigned contacts one by one to this group in the order I want them to appear. After about 10 syncs these appear on my device and no server changes error to report as of yet. While this is not ideal it has certainly worked but I may remove the partnership until this issue is resolved if ever!
Thanks for all your help

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 forgetting passwords

Can't seem to find anyone else who has this problem.
Every so often it forgets passwords for my Gmail account & Wireless Wep key.
I will randomly have to re-setup my gmail account, along with it loosing my wep key, which is highly annoying to have to re-enter it.
I'm on crappy 1.43 rom as I am waiting, along with many others, the release of the O2 rom update.
If this is just a problem with 1.43, then I'm happy to wait for the offical O2 update.

Never had this issue, but I've been on ROM 1.48 out the box and upgraded since so can't relaly comment...

Just made a similar post
I am hit the first time. I have 1.48 rom.

Seems there are 3 threads started within the last day with the same issue. I don't know what triggered it today but recently when I installed swype it had the same effect. And another time when I transferred the simcard to another phone and back it did it. It is a real pain.
Linked to swype possibly?
By the way I am using sea wwe 1.66 rom with the 2.08.50.08_2 radio.

From the Sense page (the outside), use the right soft button to get the settings. Retype everything. It will recreate the accounts in Inbox (the inside). I don't know a better method.

It is a matter of SWYPE.
Just uninstall it and use the normal keyboard.
Then ur safe.
I answered the question 3 times in the last 2 days.
Just go to email tab, click menu -> account settings
choose your acount and enter the missing entries (pop/imap, smtp and maybe password)
Then click finish and it will work again and appear in the list again.
In germany o2 already released the new rom. look in the forums maybe it is out for uk too.

I bet it is the price for using SWYPE. Swype is included in the US hd2, isnt it?
When i used it most passw. i entered hadnt been remembered...
Use the default keyboard instead (as i hope it is additionally included in the US HD2)

Well it hasnt happened recently, so seems to have solved itself...*touch wood*...

This has nothing to do with SWYPE, I have had this problem using stock 1.66 and Duttys HG 1.3
As far as I can tell it has to do with whenever you install a some programs or make a change in the registry.

You cannot say it like that as most people facing the problem did install swype.
your solution is not a solution. i installed a lot programs and did reg changes and everything works 4 me. only when i use SWYPE passes arent saved regulary. so maybe next time you post your idea as an addition but dont exclude most common reasons for the problem. even more when you give hints that dont help anybody...

Dont get your panty in a twist. I was just saying that it doesnt seem to only be a SWYPE problem. I too have done many reg changes and installed many programs without a problem but sometimes the problem does occur then. Even without SWYPE being remotely present.
So maybe next time shut your trap and dont reply if it doesnt add anything to the topic...

I have this problem also on TMOUS stock install, the onlything I have upgraded or installed was wifirouter, and upgraded Facebook from WinMarketplace.

just happened to me again this morning. havent been using swype much..

This resetting rubbish has happened to me a few times in fact i just spent the last few minutes setting up my emails again. I can't pin point the reason for it happening and before someone else blames swype, I'm using non devise ID modding one. Really is very annoying will have to wait till i get home to reset the wifi passwords. I'm sure i saw a quick method of recovering email accounts which I'll post when i find it.
