WLM connection problem
I also tested this WLM version.
Seems to be working good, login is quick, merging of WLM and Outlook-contacts is a good thing.
My problem: After some hours running, it seems to lose connection with GPRS.
I have to soft-reset my wizard to get a connection to WLM
After the reset i can connect / sync again with WLM..

So far no luck. Running Faria's WM6 and it installed okay (though very slow) and rebooted. After that I run it and it only says Sign in to Windows Live. I click it but it never connects. I've tried it through both wifi and edge. Gonna reboot my phone and see if that helps, otherwise I'm going to hope the server is down or something. Although, come to think of it, I had similar problems with previous versions too. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, who knows. I really hope I can get this working. The inability to merge WLM and Outlook contact lists is what has kept me from using it so far. If this has that fixed and I can get it to work consistently, I'm in happyville.
Edit: Rebooting fixed the connection issue. Still doesn't do what I want though. It won't take my outlook contacts and add them to Live Messenger, for instance. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to have it read the IM field in the contacts to do so. Also while it did successfully merge one of my contacts, others had duplicates. For instance, my wife has her name entered one way in WLM and I had it another. It created a duplicate for her. Both had the IM address listed as ****@hotmail.com. So, it is a slight improvement, but not there yet. I want full synchronization between Outlook and WLM. I also want to be able to add a Windows Live mail acct to my existing passport but I'm not holding my breath for that one.

Worked perfectly for me, except the fact I dont like having all my MSN contacts in my phonebook forced upon me.

is it possible to install this version on top of the WLM that already existed on cooked rom? (xplore 1.1) Or is there any way to uninstall previous version?
thanks!

WLM - how do I get rid of it?
I made the mistake of installing (ahem, "running" the thing from the Programs folder) WLM (from the RUU_mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE-Fixed.exe ROM), and it has seriously messed up a previously good setup...
1) I can't uninstall it - this is a _bug_! It seems to insinuate itself through Windows and I can't make it stop connecting my EDGE connection..
2) Because it seems to do something to connect the EDGE connection, it also seems to prevent me from receiving incoming calls.
3) It seriously slows down my 8125.

This is not specific to this beta version but i get the defbrowser errors when trying to open links from emails also pushmail does not work reliably it often says sign in failed / sync failed. The only way to get it & messenger working again is to clear the password in account options any ideas how to fix this?

WIll not install
Guys can you help me install this please?
Whenever i run the installer on my XP SP1 machine, it does not detect that i am connected to Activesync. I am however, connected to it via USB. The installer just keeps giving the message "Connection error. Make sure ActiveSync is running"
I have tried it on 2 machines now and both have the same result.

Anyway of getting a CAB of this?

The exe above has the cab in it. Just start the install from your PC, but when it comes up on your phone, don't click on anything. Now with your PC (or with TotalCommander) do a search for *.cab and you'll find the cab. Make a copy of it, and you have your cab file that you can put on your storage card or where ever.

Tks for the info mfrazzz! Always learning

I tried getting the cab, but it didnt work. It installed right away without asking any confirmation.
Can anyone post the cab file?
Thanks
... Never mind.. I found it on my PC.
Thanks alot.

You must not be running a custom rom then, as most all of them stop to ask you where to install the cab, and don't delete the cabs after install.

thanks, works ok for me. glad the contacts issue has been sorted, its much nicer than Pocket MSN. i couldnt find the .cab but the .exe installed fine via my pc.
is this a beta? the install said it was a beta.

Permanently unlock device when sync with Vista

Hello,
I upgraded my Wizard to WM6 (faria) and I have a problem when synchronizing with Vista (Windows Mobile Device Center).
I have a password on the PDA and each time I connect to my Vista desktop the system asks me to type in the password (actually you have to do it on your PDA, not the desktop itself) to begin synchronization. It's irritating!!!
When I did the same on XP + AS 4.5 I needed to type in the pass just for the first time (then the system asks you if you want to remember it).
Is there any way to turn on this feature (i.e. remember password) in Vista?

Yes I find this annoying as well. I'm using Universal/Dopod 900(WM6)

Hello,
Is there any solution?

That's weird... Exactly the same problem as you lot but when I plug my WM5 phone in it gives me the option to save the password. Seems to apply specifically to WM6 combined with Vista. I would think that this is one of their security "features".

For me it looks like an error not a security feature. Hope they will fix that soon.

Hi
i think this will work!
Go to ActiveSync -> Options -> Security then
Prompt me to ser my policy for automatically connectin my locked device. The propt woll appear the next time i connect my device.
Check the box and i think u r done

ActiveSync??? We're talking about WMDC on Windows _Vista_ for which there is no longer AS. Typo or wrong OS?

How many PCs you can synchronize with WM6?
Guys,
Would you happen to know how many PCs you can synchronize with WM6? Max used to be two with other versions but I'm not sure about this one.
Sorry for posting the question here - I just could find a thread specifically on this issue.
Thanks!

Thank you.
Could you pls elaborate on this? What's WMDC and how does it solve the problem?
Thanks again,
lkmda

It worsk the same as with WM5 - so you will be asked for password (typed on PC) and then again whether WMDC should save it or not.

Just so everyone knows, this is one of the listed fixes for WMDC 6.1 which was released yesterday.
Edit: Hikari beat me to it...

Baniaczek Pocket MSN Please help!!

Hello
I am looking for Baniaczek's Pocket MSN which I installed in my Windows 6 Pocket PC and now I want to install it in my Tornado Windows 6 smart phone. I know I found it some where here on either Hermes or Tornado Forums. But I can't find it. Please help.
I don't like Live Messenger I just want Pocket MSN and the reason I want Baniaczek's is cause the other pocketmsn.cab files I found here for some reason install but don't work. and I get errors like Instmsgr can not be found. And even if I do find and run it I get the same error. Also it is not appearing in ADD/REMOVE programs. Only Baniaczek's version works fine in my pocket pc so now I need it for my Smart Phone

Windows Live Messenger 10.6.33.0600 for Smartphones

For all those who had in the last days problems with WLM, here I compiled a cab from the latest WLM files, version 10.6.33.0600 extracted from HTC Wings, thanks to Dr Gonzo to share those files with me.
Please, don't forget to install only in Smartphones devices
Download link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=65631&d=1200106866
Install instructions can you get here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
It works pretty well on my Tornado, I hope in yours too.
I think this thread should be better moved to "Smartphone general"

I also had some issues with Windows Live on my Tornado since several weeks.
I've just made a "Clear storage" of my Tornado (with the WM6 Phil's ROM, or Perfect English, I don't remember which one I chose when I installed it in August), and I installed Windows Live from the link you gave (this is the very first application I installed after having reset the phone).
Now I can synchronise my Hotmail account again, my Messenger display picure and screenname are updated, BUT I still can't connect to Messenger. I get this:
There is a problem with the server. Please try again later.

hotmail inbox on the contrary seems to work not so good, I'm only able to download titles of the emails but there is no option to download them...performing send/receive doesn't help
anyway I don't care about that

known issue..!!! there are many people experimenting that problem with PPC and SP WLM versionen, but i've found only an unusual solution. turn off your phone connection in Comm Mngr, just activate the flight modus, restart the device, the phone should be without radio activity, and then connect to MSN via WLAN.
There is not a way to connect to the WLM using the WLAN while the radio phone activity is on, I have the feeling WLM pretends to connect using GPRS, and i don't have any GPRS profile configurated (i don't wanna expend money for chatting with WLM)
Here is an older WLM version for SPs posted from leepriestenator at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1781429&postcount=182
Is an older version which mix the phone contacts and the MSN/Hotmail contacts on the same list, not good at all. But it works...!!

My experience with WML is totally diferent. I use GPRS, I also have Wi-Fi. It will connect on Wi-Fi at all times, w/o any troubles. However it will not connect on GPRS. It goes thrue 4 of 5 steps which tells me that it is in deed connecting to the server, and it stores the PW. But when it gets to step 5 (checking internet connection), there it hangs for a while and then says I have poor or no connection.
Funny.... I do want to use GPRS, as I'm on the road all the time and have unlimited data plan... Any ideas?

Auto sync after a soft reset....
I have a strange problem... these cabs install on my device beautifully and things work perfect except for one thing. I have set up the sync schedule as items arrive... but the automatic sync does not automatically start on after a soft reset.

Need help with Messenger on Htc touch pro

I got a Htc touch pro, bought it yesterday. I like the MDA but I can't find the right messenger 6,1 release for it. I've tried everything but still it doesn't work. The farest I could get was I've installed it on my mda, messenger starts up and then you'll need to sign in, but It doesn't. And after that you'll type your email adress and personall code, I've seen it over a thausand times on my friends mda (Samsung omni) but when he bought his one it allready had messenger on it. But I don't, I know I can be a bit annouyin' but I need desperately help..
I'm from Europe, so please don't mind the wrong grammatics, now and than

But the Touch Pro also has MSN Messenger pre-installed. You must go through the Windows Live set-up which is not very intuitive but you don't need to install anything else...
