X1 language pack

Hi guys,
I'm a beginner in WM scene. I got my SE X1 from the UK O2 shop. I just installed the YaHei 15M Chinese font cab pack, everything looks fine and I can see Chinese perfectly, except that I cannot login to the Windows Live anymore. So when I tried to login the my hotmail or MSN it said sth like unable to establish connection to the service. Of course, I'm 100% sure that I got the Internet connection through the WiFi at the moment and I could browse any website. It sound like something in the language pack conflicts with the Windows Live. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

SE messed up the network connections with Windows live, it's not a language thing. YOu can only connect through cellular not WIFI to windows live services.

Thanks for you help fards. That has 80% got me out of the confusion. But I just wanna double check one thing now. Before install the language pack, I was able to connect the windows live service through the WiFi at home, but it seems lost the ability after the language pack installed.
Thanks so much

Works fine on my X1 (UK unbranded rom) with WiFi.
Sorry I dont know the answer to your problem however I believe its only the Vodaphone branded X1's that have this problem with windows live - They have coded the ROM in such a way that Windows Live always goes out via the cellular network. Unbranded phones are ok and other networks such as O2 have not put this restriction in their ROMs.
mine is from o2 too...i installed google chinese font and works very fine without any probelms!
where can i install chinese language so that i can read and write.
thank you

windows live messenger, bluetooth

i have a bluetooth connection to my pc.
the internet is shared so i can access internet on my mobile.
i would like to use windows live messenger on my WM6 mobile threw bluetooth connection.
internet explorer can access web pages so the connection is working.
but i get this error from windows live.
"Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Pleas check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."
i get same error when trying to use windows live via activesync using usb connection.
i was able to get fring to work using active sync. but fring is a pain to use. no groups and its hard to tell who my contacts are if they change their display name.
i would just like to use windows live messenger.
how do i get windows live to work with bluetooth or activesync? preferably without using activesync and just using a bluetooth network.
never had any problems getting msg to work over an activesync connection
try
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
and make sure your home network is selected rather then your isp
and if that don't help I'd sugest getting a different version of msg as some of them don't work with anything but gprs
okay thanks, ill try some different versions
i have tried the version that comes with my phone, samsung i780. and the latest version form microsoft site. they did not work for me.
does anyone have a link to a version they know that works threw activesync?

HD2 and VPN

Hey guys..
I am trying to connect to my VPN so that i will be able to view some webcams i have on several shops.
I can connect to the VPN without no problem but as soon as i open ANY browser (opera internet explorer... etc..) i get disconnected.
Any ideas??
no one?
I have been looking into doing this but i have not been able to even connect to the VPN server at the mo. I will try again later and report back.
Some i found about vpn on usenet with windows mobile phones/pda...
I wasnt able eighter to get it going myself...

I have been using Hamachi and VNC Server. I can access and control my Pc from my HD2 and TYTn.
This combination has worked very well for me. I can watch my webcam from the phone and see what my dog is doing . Besides I can access my shared folders and listen to music, etc.
Hamachi by itself will be enough to establish a VPN connection and access your shared folders.

Hello,
you are writing that you can connect VPN on your HD2. Please, what software do you use? Can you upload it there? Because I want to connect from my HD2 to OpenVPN server, if it is possible.
Thank you for your reply!
Hi,
I use Hamachi as my VPN. Once you install Hamachi on your PC you can access it using the Hamachi mobile client.
Here is the to the Hamachi Mobile Client https://secure.logmein.com/labs/
I use VNC viewer for connecting to my RealVNC server. Here is the link to the original post that took me to the VNC viewer cab. I hope it helps

Hi everyone .
sorry to ask you guys but im new here and im so confused !
can anyone please explain to me how can i connect to a vpn with Hd2 .
i dont see any option to choose that when im connecting to the internet with my wifi connection ,so please help me .
Hamachi is not VPN, it goes through some 3rd party servers, so it isn't safe. OpenVPN should be okay.
a quick clarification to your statement:
google.fi/search?hl=fi&defl=en&q=define:Hamachi&sa=X&ei=-fdiTJGJN4OQjAfU3uCWAQ&ved=0CBYQkAE
the 3rd party server is only use for the initial negotiation of the connection between Pcs.
Hi there!
I've got OpenVPN installed and working perfectly
You can get it here:
http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-files.htm
I installed the german 2.1.0 version. Works almost perfect.
The only thing is, i have to disable htc sense to see the small icon located in a kind of task bar on the bottom of the screen. Does anybody know a workaround to access this Icon without turning htc sense off for the home screen?
This would be perfect.
Best regards

vpn win 8

is wp8 will support VPN ... ???
Yes. I use VPN on my Win8 PC and the test tablet at my work. PPTP/SSTP/ICMP all work.
Haven't tried OpenVPN but should work no issues.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I use Shrew VPN....is free and support .pcf files
SInce I use HideIPVPN as my provider I have checked their Windows software yesaterday under W8 Release Preview.
Worked (desktop mode only) exactly as in Win 7.
Log in, choose server from you package - connect.
Netflix and Hulu worked without any problems under Chrome both in Modern UI and Desktop mode (tested only PPTP VPNprotocol but I do not see a reason for L2TP or SSTP not to work).
So, nor problems with VPN and Win 8.
This means I only need VPN on WP8 system as well + Market Enabler (as in Android) and it Christmas for me

I dont see any reason why it should not work.
I can test it over the weekend when I reconnect HDD with W8 onboard
HSS works.. but not for the metro apps.
Because HSS only works for browsers as far as I know.
This is why I use VPN - all traffic, regardless of program creating it is directed to VPN server.
This means that I can use Spotify in Poland or watch Netflix on my iPad .
I have checked with W8 and both Chrome and IE in Modern UI mode use VPN as well (they got no choice).
I have read yesterday that WP8 will not support VPN but Secure SSL to access company servers - does any one know it this protocol can be used to change IP of a device? I suppose VPN servers would have to have additional software active to support this kind of connection...

Sytem wide / global proxy Windows Mobile 10

Dear all,
I'm seeking advice for my Lumia 930 running the lasted "fast ring" insider preview build.
When I'm at work, I connect through a company proxy server to the web. The Lumia system apps (store / update) connect to the web no problem but apps like Skype, or WhatsApp don't work at all.
I know, that those apps work, becasue I also have tested it with my rooted Android, using ProxyDroid app, that enables a "system wide" proxy.
Is there any solution to this for windows phone 10?
Thanks for any answers and best regards.
