Windows live mobile fun :( - HD2 General

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.

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.
@MWANG
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...

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

Disgruntled HTC Touch HD Owner

wassup with this email problem. Microsoft released a patch for the smtp bug in wm6.1 but the patch refuses to install on my new wm6.1.4 touch HD! I seem to be left with a device that cannot send emails, and MS calls this a business OS! Anyone else having this problem and does anyone know when MS might solve my pain
What error do you get while installing the patch? Are you sure you're installing the right patch?

don't have a Touch HD, but did you soft reset and then try to install the patch? also, what message appears on the screen after the unsuccessful installation? and finally, i assume that you've been affected by this bug...correct?
It does take a while for beginners to learn things like cab file installation, soft reset, hard reset, unlocking, ROM flashing, etc.
But don't get discourage. It's not that complicated. It can even be fun after a while. In fact there are many ROM junkies among us who suffers from withdrawal symptoms when there is no new ROM for them to play around.
Sorry for asking this but, what email problem?

Speak for yourself, eaglesteve! Confession is good for the soul!
It's good to see you here as well! Looking for an athena replacement?
Back to the topic, wasn't there another thread saying Touch HD does not need this patch? Indeed, see the post above!
The patch is for WM6.1 prior to 6.1.4 only!
Hmmm how ironic my email is actually not working either....
I just tried it and it keeps saying unable to connect, wtf?
It doesn't even try to connect via HSDPA, if I connect it manually it still doesn't work!!! What a piece of crap.... Never had any problem with this before on WM
Hi there, my first post, also my first windows mobile device (I know I need to setup my profile still.)
Anyways, started having this problem last night, I thought it may have been my provider blocking ports or something. Nope T-Mobile (UK) say that all my ports are open, I've just done a speed test and getting over 2000kbps. I wont mentions names, but a helpful tech support guy suggested updating the rom when someone releases a custom one. Though I'm thinking before that we need microsoft to get into gear and give us a hotfix for this on our ce version
Hard reset does not solve this problem.
any ideas guys???

Version 6.1.4 has this patch already built in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444996&highlight=smtp
Guess what, I found this with THE SEARCH FUNCTION!
If it still does not work, either hit yourself for configuring not correct, or go beat your provider up, they have ****ed up something.
E-mail probs?
I have found that my Touch HD has varying issues with sending and receiving emails, and these differ between whichever email service I am using. For example my emails through Yahoo are perfect, yet my mails thru Orange (Freeserve / Wannadoo) completely refuse to work whattever I try.
Just ironic that my Touch HDs' service provider IS Orange, yet I cant connect to THEIR email servers!!!!!
I will buy your HD for $99 if you don't like it.
SMTP still a major issue with wm 6.1.4
Like many others I have an HTC Touch HD with the 6.1.4 operating system that is supposed to be bug free when it comes to sending emails. Well it isnt! Same classic problem, receives but wont send. 6.1.4 needs a patch too! (but hasnt got one God help us all.....
I found a solution to this. quite strange as my opera and internet explorer stopped working. so I did a hard reset (holdinging both volume buttons while phone tuned off, then pressing power button), and then auto setup my settings for t-mobile and I had opera and internet explorer working again. The email solution was to just go into the connection settings, goto proxy server and untick the box next to "uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" so that all programs have direct net access. everything works now like a dream
Of course you don't need to do a hard reset if your opera and internet explorer connect, just delete the proxy server settings.
hope this post helps people.
Have you tried the .cab suggested by this link :

I use AOL for my email and used to have the error message, but not after installing that .cab. (Install at your own risk)

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 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.

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
