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 update the ROM and get a newer version of the MSN messenger software which will hopefully work. 2.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

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 cant get live/messenger to accept my login/pwd, it says i have some connection problem which is BS since hotmail works with mobile.live.
anyone know whats the problem?
This is related to your network.
make sure that you are available in a good reception area.
if the problem still exists, try to connect for the first time through the WIFI connection and it will work.

I think this is MS network problem.
I have 2 accounts , MS's server allow my hotmail.com to login but live.hk.
I have used my live.hk to test multi-site login(WM9), after did that. The account live.hk can't login the server until now. so bad
yes, there is a couple of posts around about this issues.
as far as i know, the prob is worldwide.
mslive wants to sell this to the carriers, and so far in spain vodafone and movistar already have it as part of their offer.
so i guess it is not available anymore unless your carrier wants to offer this under a data plan.
WLMobile Messenger, is not available in the official webpage, but you can have still the WLMobile Mail. you just haveto look for the right link.
i dont have it right now, but i posted it in a another thread a couple of weeks ago.
hope i can be helpful.
keep me posted.
thanks

I had a similar problem and found the answer on this forum. For some reason it clashed with my asian font pack. uninstalled it and replaced with Sunglobe font pack. Look it up on the web and download it for free. no problems since - wierd hey. good luck.
Finally...MSN Working (or at least not giving the stupid connection error)
Geez...
Okay, after reading another post about a Chinese language font pack thought I would give it a go...
I removed my FontPatch2005 (chinese character thingy) and suddenly the whole thing starts working...Windows Live Mail and Messenger.
Just about re-install the fontpack and see what happens now I have gone through the login and mail setup process...
Will post the result.
Whatever
Yep...
Re-installed and once again no WML services will work...
I am using the "WM2005 Chinese Language Pack" - fontpatch.cab which I think I downloaded from somewhere on this forum.
Just removed again...and yep, all working again...
I cannot actually read chinese, so this software is not essential for me, but it looks a lot nicer when you can see the characters rather than the weird lookin boxes it displays instead.
Thanks to the previous poster for getting me to a solution, now all I gotta do is find this SunGlobe pack so I can see chinese again!
Thought I would post this just incase someone in the future has the same issue...
Whatever

Try to flash to sun_dream's latest rom. It has a couple of new things plus updated versions for a bunch of stuff. Although, I think it is an Outlook problem rather than Titanium problem since I had that issue with the first WM6.5 release. It does not seem to be present in this build though.
Next time, please post your questions either in the Q&A section of the forum or in the corresponding thread of the rom/program you are inquiring about. All in all, please refrain from opening new threads for this kind of things and do a search instead. Thanks.

Only time I have seen that error is after using the DELETE Account on Pocket Outlook, and then trying to use the same email. If that was your case, then your only way back is with hard reset of device.
well the solution to your problem is a little app called MailAccountRepair - this issue is not a rom problem, it happens when you cause unexpected reboot for the system, and if the account was in use it remains hidden, this application unhides it and makes the account usable. This issue was here since WM5 and will be here until WM7 arrive (hopefully MS fill do something about it in 7)

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the noob question I did search but... Anyway, I know there used to be a thing called UC that worked on my old Kaiser, but what is there to quicky restore my email settings (inc install of unsigned cert), facebook and twitter. I know about things like PIM backup and Myphone but they only seem to do actual content rather than the settings themselves.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I would like to know too, the WIFI Settings you can easlily set via prov.xml or with _setup.xml and makecab, but for twitter and facebook I am still searching, too
hi, as far as i know uc is cooked into custom roms, i dont know if it can be used standalone. but as a start you can search for 'sashimi', a tool that restores email and other setting, maybe its able to restore facebook and co. too. it does a lot more stuff, you will see when you look at the results of your search for it.

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.
