Live/Outlook/Hotmail down? - Windows 8 General

Hello all, I'm tried to sync my phone with live/outlook/hotmail or visit to windowsphone.com no luck. Looks like servers are down. Or its happen just me?

Regardless of it being up or down. This is windows 8, not windows phone 8. The 2 are not the same. Wrong forum

trinity unusable after UNINSTALLING WINDOWS LIVE?

hi guys, uh, i just uninstalled Windows Live, and now my device is unusable.. it loads to my Today screen, and that's it. it freezes there.. i can't do anything after that. help?

Phone won't turn on anymore... Help!

Hello,
I recently installed that full Manilla HD cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154) but uninstalled it a few minutes later.
While uninstalling, a friend accidently turned the phone off.
Now, when I turn it on, it gets stuck at the green Windows Mobile 6.1 screen (with a single icon at the top, and that's it)
Please help me fix my phone...
Thanks again,
Seb
PS: There's that loading icon there too, spinning forever and ever..
PPS: Disregard that. I restarted the phone 12 times and it finally turned on. Sorry for the post...
There's a pretty good chance that your phone's software is somewhat bugged anyway, as Manila installs like a gazillion files into your windows folder. If you want a certain way of uninstalling it, hard-reset your device.

[Q] serious problem using chevron more than once...

Ok gang, I flashed and unlocked my HD2 yesterday. did everything as instructed and everything worked according to plan. My only gripe was the volume on my headset came across wacky. So I reset my new hd2-winmo 7 phone.
Afterwords the volume problem was fixed. Good times. So I decided to go and run chevron and unlock my phone again and be on my merry way.....
That was 4 hours ago and every single pissing time I get the Error message saying my phone isn't connected or I need to start Zune.
Now Ive been reading the boards all day and tried every damn thing under the sun but still no dice
.....Please help
You need to try a combination of unplugging your device, restarting it, and turning your computer on and off. Also, make sure chevron is in your C drive and your running it in administrator mode.
Tell me how it goes!
If I helped please hit the thanks button!
Hey man thanks for the advice but unfortunantley, no dice. I'm still getting the message saying connect to zune and make sure it's connect via USB. And, yes it is connected and zune is seeing the phone...

[Q] Windows 8 won't wake from sleep?

Hey people,
So i'm having a little bit of an annoying problem. I have an HP G60 230US and of course, i'm running the CP version of Windows 8. Whenever I put my computer to sleep, be it by idling or closing the lid, and then try to wake it... it simply won't wake.
The HDD will spin, the lights on the keyboard will light up and nada. I read on a Google search somewhere that when the OS wakes from sleep, the display drivers have to kick in. I already have let the automatic Windows Update plug in any gaps, and display wise everything was fine. Even audio via HDMI was magically functional when I couldn't for the life of me get it to work on Windows 7. So anyways, I installed the latest from HP and installed in compatibility mode... And no change =/
Anybody have any ideas for me? The only way I can get it to function is by doing a battery pull/hard reset.
Thanks everyone!
EDIT: Okay, so I tried completely uninstalling the display adapter. Curiously enough, if I close the lid the computer looks like it shuts down. The little power light doesn't blink it usually does when it sleeps. However, if I open it back up, I can wake up the screen and indeed the computer was in fact asleep.
But now my resolution is all messed up and I have no display drivers at all. Any ideas on how I can fix this? =[
I have a very similar problem with windows 8.
Additionally, this happens at every alternate start up also and there are also times when it absolutely refuses to connect with the wifi.
I did an upgrade, I assume its something to do with that. I will try a clean install in a couple of days and report back.
I did a clean install.
I understand this is a beta, so there will be bugs. I was just hoping someone could say something to help me modify the way Win8 interacts with my drivers so I can get it to function =[
It could be any driver at all that buggers it up, not just graphics, i used to have a wee USB LCD display panel that stopped it working.
The problem you have is getting newer drivers for Win 8, since its not released its going to be tricky to get new ones.
Id hope that in the RC stages the ISO will be loaded with more drivers like Win 7 is which might fix your issues. you could try disabling ACPI 2 in your BIOS if you have the option which should force windows to use APM but dont count on that fixing it
Dazza, I should try that next.
I set the display to shut off after a minute, so I could test - when it shuts off, and I resume activity, the screen jumps back. If I sleep, the computer will wake, the HDD will spin, the lights will light, but the screen will stay dark. Like, not attempt to even try anything.
I tried putting it hibernation. I thought, clearly there's something going in during boot that allows the screen to work. Well, hibernation looked promising... the HP logo popped up, BIOS seemingly did its things, then the little beta fish popped up... then blank. Like there is supposed to be image there, and there just isn't =/
Is it safe to say this is something that Windows 8 is specifically doing wrong? Granted I understand the drivers were designed for Windows 7, but if it weren't for waking up from sleep, the display is perfect! If not better, because I can audio out via HDMI, which for some reason I couldn't in Windows 7 despite concerted efforts.
When do you think the RC will be released? I'm thinkin perhaps around May-ish, cuz I believe I remember the 7 being around that time
Hibernation might be the answer, I need to check something when I get home later tonight but if it makes boot logs from hibernation you can trace the driver down, graphics might not be the reason, it could be a keyboard!

Is the OS authenticated? I know that with Windows 7 if you didn't have the system Authenticated it would shut down every hour, kind of like a small push to say "oi, pay for this". Where did you get your copy ie is it from VLSC/TechNet or is it from a dodgy torrent?
If you are it may be worth checking the scheduled tasks make sure you have nothing set to run that could cause this. It shouldn't be anything to do with updates as MS has stopped making you restart straight away now.
It may be worth checking to see if anything is logged in event viewer.
That's what happens when your trial period is over. It shouldn't be, however, since it's been less than 90 days since the trial was even introduced...
I'd take a look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx
You might find a new key somewhere in there.
