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

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.
All,
I've a problem with the exchange server settings. It looks like my admins had pushed the new exchange policy this afternoon. All of a sudden my phone is asking for a password. I had installed the "Stay Unlock.cab" which worked perfectly so far. Now, I'm getting the password prompt when i unlock the device.
But the actual problem is, when I enter the password it takes me to the password screen and asking me to enter a new password. When I enter a new password it fails saying "An Error occurred saving password settings."
Now, I cannot access my phone. I have so many applications installed and I haven't backed up some of my settings & data. So I am hesitant to do a hard-reset and wipe out 3 weeks worth of my work/customization.
Help please!!
Thanks
Nash (TmoUS HD2 - Stock ROM)
I end up hard resetting.
after, 10 times of invalid password entry in the lock screen, it automatically wiped all my data.
anyway I installed hspl2 and installed energy rom, which is much better and beautiful than the stock rom. I am re installing all my applications now...
Thanks
Hello All,
Now I have a weird problem. I could install all the apps and run it properly, but the moment when I sync my outlook with the corporate exchange account, everything stops working. It looks like the Exchange setup is blocking unsigned apps & I could not install any cab files anymore or start an already installed program like CHT Editor. If I remove the email account, everything works fine again. Has anyone come across this problem?
I'm not sure what was changed in the Exchange server. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance.
Right now, I have Kumar's ROM & I tried Energy ROM too and it looks like I cannot get around this issue. If I remove the Exchange account everything goes back to normal. I also have "Exchange Stay Unlock.cab" installed which doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there anyone else having the same issue?
Is it possible that the exchange admins put a policy to your telephone that its not possible to install software. ,Maybe that is the problem. Then when you delete email, also delete this policy and then its possible to install progs
It looks like it, before & after deleting the exchange sync it asks me to restart. after deleting the problem goes away. Is there anyway to change exchange's behaviour/policy?
The main problem is not just the installation, even the installed apps don't open anymore. Like the "Arkswtich" task manager which I use all the time or any unsigned apps I think. Opera works fine.
could you tell me, what/how I should ask my admins?
Hello All,
It looks like the policies are being updated and I cannot run or install the any unsigned app. I tried to install the cabs to "Remove app lock, unsigned app, etc..", but I can't seem to install these cabs too. Now, I can't even open the registry and update the policies key manually as I can't open a regsitry editor app.
I tried the registry editor from PC (CeRegEdit) and it won't let me update from that too. I totally stuck with this problem now.
Is there way to sign an app (cab file) or make it trusted?
Thanks
I'll continue to update this thread as no one else seem to have this problem.
I used "msigner.cab" to sign couple of cab files and tried to install and it still failed saying "untrusted...". So, I spoke to my admins, those guys plainly said they don't support windows mobile. Now, I don't have an option.
I wonder, why microsoft would enforce a policy on a wm6.5 devices?
Next step.. I reflashed again, installed all the cabs I needed and setup my device. this time, I'm hoping that I don't have to reboot (I know it's tough ) after syncing up with exchange. I'll sync only the emails (in Exchange) and others through the pc (contacts, tasks, calendar).
Finally, I installed all the reg editors before connecting to exchange. Then I synced only the emails with the exchange server and before rebooting the phone, I used the reg editor to change the key (HKLM\Security\Policies\Policy) values as mentioned in other forums (sdkcerts) to 0. Now it looks like its permanent and not changing even after the reboot!
Thanks

Yes I too need to know, I am suffering with the same problem
Thanks in advance
Update I think http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/...curity-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices.aspx can help in resolving, never tried it though
sorry, it is in the "HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" folder.
I changed the following keys..
00001005 to 1
00001006 to 1
Let me know if it doesn't work, I can export and email you the policies key from the registry.
Hi
I recently install wp7 inside my HD2
I'd love to install some apps inside hd2/wp7 but i suppose is really impossible
I install twice ChevronWP7, but after some days had problems with run ChevronWP7, probably MS or zune block it.
If i went Marketplace with WP7 after i clicK Install, receive this message:
Can't get info right now. Check back in a little while
I'm from Portugal, i creaet a US account with Zune, make some changes inside google chrome languages, to have access to Zune Marketplace.
Everything works fine, but after i get some download i can´t receive it inside applications.
I'm so really confused, i have my hd2 activated with microsoft activation key, but i'd love to have, some apps like, shazan, pdf reader, facebook, and some other apps, but it's impossible.
What's my best opption?
Buy a HTC HD7 when Microsoft Portugal have a Marketplace?
Wait for new and stable WP7/HD2 jailbreak?
Forget WP7 inside HD2 and install windows mobile 6.5?
If anyone live in Portugal i would pay to install me "forever" my favorite apps inside HD2/WP7
Waiting for some help, Many Thanks
You actually have several options.
Maybe you just check this thread first... lots of free apps from the marketplace are available as xap. More info in the linked thread.
Concerning your other issues, there are several other threads here. Please check.
Hi Sir
I have all this :xap
Sir, i send to my hd2 e-mail the certification file, run it, run chevronwp7 and install all this software(xap files). After 2 days if i decide to run some app like facebook or weather app, the screen go to white and after 1 or 2 seconds receive a message said, that software is revoked from Microsoft, Uninstall it
Than i decide to run one more time ChevronWP7 to unlock HD2, but "someone" block forever ChevronWP7
At this moment it is impossible to have, facebook, shazan, ip camara, twitter, Fim and Weather more than 2 DAYS.
Zune or something Block forever all this apps
Have you run the registry hacks to change your phone ID to a HD7? That's why it's not working for you.
Read the boards thoroughly first before posting.
I am very sorry for this burnt out topic, but I am in need of some assistance.
Basically I bought a Focus, and I am having trouble with marketplace, downloading apps, and other things.
I activated it, and can make calls, get on the internet, etc. I created a windows live ID, and for some reason when I go to market place it just says "no results" under everything I try to click. Basically, apps, games, and everything else is just blank.
I set up my email fine, facebook, outlook, and it all works, but for some reason none of my windows options seem to work.
Is there something else I need to do to get this stuff working?
The phone is not unlocked either. I went to "windowbreakme", but it says I cannot download ".js files" when I click the download link to unlock it.
Thanks for any help.

Also, I have an update available, but not sure how to download it. There is no option to download it, and it says to plug into computer, but I have tried two computers now, and it doesn't get recognized. Like I never plugged anything in. It beeps that its charging, but no sync, pop up, nothing.
I would suggest you try resetting the phone and then do the setup over a wifi instead of cellular data. Once you get the updates and re-connect your live account then make sure you setup the APN proxy for StraightTalk.

No. No. No. Do not use the proxy under the APN settings. Just the att.mvno. nothing else.
you may need to install samsung usb drivers (google it) for your pc to recognise phone in zune.
All is done thru zune.
Get WP7Tools in order to access a marketplace, there are some specialized apps on here to do this.
One is called Market Select.
If you can get your phone windowbroken on that web page (view in mobile mode) you can use Multiple Xap Installer v1.1 to
get unlocked apps onto your phone.
