Working and Stable (MSN) Messenger For Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Having seen several threads for the installation and use of messenger on the diamond and after trying several unsucessful methods of installing...
I have tried installing all versions of Messenger (for the diamond), without complete success so thought I would try my collections that I downloaded for the other HTC devices that I have had and owned.
The most succesfull and stable was the previously downloaded the PocketMSN_HTCz.cab from this site. (I have accidentilly deleted this file - However a quick search of google will probably provide links to the file!)
Installtion of the PocketMSN_HTCz.cab will provide a stable and sucesfful installation.
Have fun IM'ing

Found this link but not tried it yet.

msn live messenger is not stable
i use Palringo (www.palringo.com)

This version was very stable in my phone, with many different ROMs.
The version PocketMSN_HTCz.cab is a really old version, the one i posted is a bit newer.

cannot get to work palgorino,i want to add user and password after i press ok it says cannot sign in!?!?

Enter a correct password
Anyway i have been messing for hours with msn and windows live and nothing worked untill I stopped using a proxyserver (start/settings/connections/connection set up my proxyserver, and uncheck proxyserver). After that, it worked perfectly. hope this helps someone.

got it working

It works for me on an original French ROM from Orange

Imov

I upgraded to wm2003 with yorch's kitchen, which went fine. When I tried running the imov messenger I cooked into the kitchen (v1.07e) and the wizard wouldn't let me continue past the first page...when you click the OK button it just went back to the script screen.
So I downloaded the latest version from the website (v1.13) and installed it over the rom version. It seemed to run fine, and the wizard went through to completion, and I logged on. But for some reason it automatically clears everything but the last thing said, meaning I can't read a whole conversation, just the last message, which means if I leave it on and someone sends me more than one message I miss all but the last one. The imov I was using before (in the special edition ROM) didn't do this, so I know this isn't normal.
This is driving me nuts...does anyone have any ideas? If I install a new rom without imov in it and install it fresh into storage (bah...my valuable RAM!) does anyone know if it the newer version works correctly?
Or is there a kitchen with a newer version of the imov software available?
Thanks for you time!

Problem with MSN

Greetings all,
I just got my hands on an Xda IIs which was running wm2003 and i just upgraded it to Windows Mobile 6 with no dramas. Everything is working fine except when i try to install the Live.cab from the missing cabs archive, every time i try to install it it just comes and says 'Installation of live.cab was unsuccessful'. I have tried installing just the cab that came with rom and the WL_Install.exe method (That installs through ActiveSync) and i get the error everytime.
I followed the guide in the wiki and this is the only issue i am having with it at the moment. anyone have any clue what may be the cause of the issue or another way to install it? Or even another type of messenger program that connects to msn and such. (Sort of like trillian for the pc but for smart phones?)
I also only did what the guide said, but i have heard mention of installing radio or something like (For voice clarity and such?) is that something i still need to do and have missed or recommended? Any other good recommendations on apps or tweaks i should perform?
Sorry if this is a bit newbieish but this is my first time flashing and upgrading a phone and you gotta start somewhere right?
try the windows live from xplode's thread of WM6.1.. there you can find it bundled with the ROM.. mine works perfectly
PS:i'm using 20226 Xplode's WM6.1
Yep that did the trick. Thanks for that

Attachments with Exchange E-Mail

Have searched the Diamond Forum extensively, but not found mention of this problem.
My Exchange E-Mail from WM6.1 refuses to download (or at least open) attachments. This happens with .doc .docx .pdf .xls .xlsx attachments. These attachments open without a problem, when I use another two e-mail accounts using imap, the problem only occurs when synchronising with my Exchange Server.
It looks as if the attachment is being downloaded, but it doesn't then open. I have posted this on the Vodafone Forum (post 50578 and update 135471), and one other person reported the same problem, but no solutions were forthcoming. I have just installed the latest ROM, without effect.
Any suggestions ?
Rom Version : 1.97.161.4 WW
Rom Date : 10/26/08
Radio version : 1.08.25.08
Protocol version 52.44.25.24U
Does tapping and holding on the attachment and hitting "Save as..." work?
If the above suggestion does not work then there could be an issues with your provider
Thanks for the suggestion but Save As does nothing.
If I tap the attachemnt, a green arrow appears next to it, and the "Downloading..." message appears at the bottom of the screen, but when it finishes, the Attachment reverts to a blank grey icon next to the filename, rather than the icon representing the application.
This leads me to believe the device downloads the attachment, but for some reason it is not being saved, or the linked program is not being invoked. In \Internal Storage\Inbox.mst29991181.1156583424\Mail Attachments, I can see several zero size *.att files
The provider Vodafone say this is not a widely reported problem, but at least one other User on their Forum has reported it.
Can you not contact the exchange admin and ask to see the error log? is it a work or hosted exchange server(2003 or 2007)?
How about a hard reset? extreme you might say but can help.

Sounds like an exchange server problem. You should contact your exchange admin to see if they can change any policies related to that.
Thanks for the responses.
I AM The Exchange Adminstrator ! I don't think the problem lies there, as e-mail sent to my previous PDA (Vodafone 1605),and e-mails still sent to one of my colleagues 1605 don't demonstrate the same problem. The problem is only rpesent on the Diamond.
I have also tried several hard resets, together with a ROM Flash Updates, to no avail.
Regards
Process of elimination
As you tried hard resets and other roms it might be a network issue?
Why not try using a trial on 4smartphone.com (14 days free) and if that works then you no its not the device.
Have you even tried a different SIM card?
What version of Exchange are you running? 2k7 can control the size and amount of mail you're retrieving via EAS policy, plus if you can download attachments or not.
Then again, since you're ok with EAS on a tytn, then it must be the phone or network. Have you tried swapping SIMs to eliminate the possibility of content filtering on the network side?
I've never had any trouble with EAS and I've tried plenty of other ROMs, and I'm the vodafone network also - you tried any of the newer custom ROMs to eliminate that?
We are running SBS2003 Premium SP2, and Exchange Reports Version 6.5.7638.1
I have tried the SIM from the TyTn that downloads ok in that PDA, it doesn't in the Diamond.
I have the latest official ROM from the Vodafone website, don't really want to upgrade with unofficial ROM's in case I brick the phone.
Just as an update, by watching carefully as the phone tries to collect the Attachment, the initial message "Downloading..." is temporarily followed by "Loading Message ...", which quickly dissappears, and the logo against the attachment changes back from the green download arrow to the grey logo.

I don't have that ticked and I still get attachments - i think this option is for downloading the file instead of clicking on it later.
@pcibob
I know some Vodafone ROMS are buggy. for example my friend has an X1 for which he uses M$ Live - MSN etc. if he installs TomTom the the MSN live stops working - how wierd is that.
Take the blunge and customise your ROM it is really stright forward, this may help.
It doesn't matter if this is ticked or not (I have tried both). I understand this tick means that the attachment will be dowloaded WITH the mail, whilst if it is unticked it should be able to download the Attachment AFTER the mail, if required. Both don't work !

Was asking as I had the same problem with another device and only work around I found was to have it unticked, tap onto attatchment to download, go to comm manager turn flight mode on and off and it would download, strange but it worked. not sure would do the same for you, sorry if it doesnt

Thanks for the suggestion, but tried it with no joy.
I am seriously considering updating the ROM with a non Vodafone version. Any suggestions as to which ROM to try ? I would like to hear from other Vodafone Users if this has caused them any problems. I am a bit nervous about bricking the phone.
GO and Update

I would go for this option.
There is plenty of help here if you need it.
I have flashed at least 15 diamonds fro my work and countless other devices. Now if I can do it .
1) install Olipro Hard-spl.1.93 Download and extract , click on RUU - follow instructions - when confirmed an application wants to run on your device. (click YES to allow) this process takes a few MINS and the screen goes blank for a while. Do not touch device until the RUU states finished (the phone should restart anyway)
2) if you wish to confirm the installation of Hard-SPL the hold down the down-arrow volume key during reset or start-up process, you should be presented with a RGB and white screen with
"DIAM100"
"SPL_1.93. Olinex
(thats Olipro and Cmonex-combined forum users)
Thats confirmation enough.
3) restart device again. and pick a ROM (Recommendation from me would be this Shaks1979 ROM (download and extract - Run RUU) similar to step one.
4) restart your phone and enjoy life without the vodafone poop. hopefully you exchange will work.
4a) its very easy to revert back to standard stuff
Take the plunge.........

You are tempting me.
One final question. Will the Vodafone Sat-Nav reload and work ? I have it in a CAB file, but am unsure if it needs to 'see' the Vodafone ROM to work. Has anyone else installed a new ROM, then put their Vodafone Sat-Nav back on successfully?
The main reason I bought the Diamond is that it converged the things I need most i.e phone, Sat-Nav, PDA and camera.
Thanks for the help

ROM Upgrade & Windows Update

First problem i have, whenever i try to use the windows update i get the following message:
Connection to update server was not available. Check our data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Date & time is correct, mobile connects to websites ok so i dont see why it wont connect?
while googling this, i found theres a ROM upgrade for the phone aswell, do i need it? the phones 6months old and has ROM version 1.56.405.1
The main reason im wanting to use windows update is because i've tried to install a couple of apps and it tells me i need an upgraded .net framework, is there any other way to do this? and how can i find the latest version?
thanks if anyone can help.
dont waste your time...
in short ,dont waste your time with windows update,it is not used ,at all.
windows update (according to interviews on FACEBOOK..windows mobile, with relevant persons from MICROSOFT.....) is only for very crictical updates and they have never used it ,(as far as i know...?)
best is to navigate to htc website ....
http://www.htc.com/mea-en/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
..make sure to select your country ..top right of webpage ,
note, above link i provided... is for htc middle east and africa...and upgrades might not be applicable to your country...!!!!
the .net issue is seperate issue..has got nothing to do with upgrade..!!..
it is used for certain applications to function...
, google for ..something like ...."netcf 3.5 download "....or/
try this link and make sure it is what you are looking for.....!!!!!
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
follow link..it will take you to microsoft web page (dont worry, it is a free applications ) ,but be aware ,the application is about 33 megabytes,and download it to your pc.
afterwards , you have to connect phone to pc and install from pc.to phone..reboot phone and you application should work.?
( do not try and install from phone ,it wont work )
good luck
willcor
From what I can see you already currently have the latest ROM upgrade that is also available via HTC's website, so there is no need for you to download and install it again. At the time, the ROM was released to improve the overall functionality of the phone and fix some existing issues with it.
Here is what the ROM upgrade contained:
Improved Functions and Fixes
1. Updated the Connection Setup Database.
2. Improved emergency call connections while using Airplane Mode.
3. The GPS position updating speed has been enhanced.
4. A Title bar display flicker in TouchFLO 3D has been corrected.
5. Fixed multiple browsing issues.
Go to this link, and download and install the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab to your device. After you installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab, reset your phone.
thanks alot guys, appretiated
Since installing this, im getting quite a few error reports
"A problem has occured with... please tell microsoft about this program"
Reflashing the rom might help.

In that case, (if i was in your shoes) i would try to hard reset first then install the .NET cab first and then any other programs you want afterwards. Then hopefully those nasty errors will disappear

Skyfire installed unsuccessfully

Hello!
Tried to install skyfire but got the message 'skyfire installed unsuccessfully'. Anyone know why? Someone mentioned applications that are not certified by Windows Mobile... is that it? How do we go about it?
Many thanks,
jae
skyfire
hi guys
i am having the same problem
and getting this kinda problem with a lot of other software and games too
i try to install and get the message "installed unsuccessfully"
HALP !!
mine installed but everytime i boot it it gets an error and has me exit.
worked on my touch pro so what gives...
Happens also when You update MS market. Don´t mind. If app opens and works correctly after "unsuccessful install" don´t bother.
Happens also when updating already installed apps but still after update they work fine in the updated version.
I think we must accept that windows is not the most reliable operating system, and it doesn't integrate with the HTC device as seemlessly as we see with other OSs and devices (I DON'T want to mention any names ). There are certain advantages though...
Anyway, to the point... after repeatedly trying, I have now installed Skyrife successfully. No reason, didn't do anything different. Just executed the .cab file again and again...
mine installs just wont work once its on the phone...
