Hi all,
I am having trouble signing into Windows Live Messenger on my XDA Serra (HTC Touch Pro).
It only happens with my main Windows Live account - when I sign in with my old account Messenger works fine.
The message I get is:
There is a problem with the server. Please try again later.
I have contacted Microsoft and they have "escalated" the problem within their tech support department but ultimately they have not been any use. In the last e-mail I got from them they suggested contacting my carrier. I had already contacted o2 and they said they cannot help in this issue. I am pretty convinced it is a problem relating to my Windows Live account. Hard Reset of the device has not helped.
Please if anyone can help or has had similar experiences post here!
Thanks,
Matt
Bump...
Went to all the trouble of creating a new account, it worked for a couple of days and now it's failing again.
Please help! :-(

I'd never seen this problem until a few days ago. My connection and internet access are still rock-solid, but suddenly I haven't been able to sign into messenger. I re-flashed the custom ROM I've been using, but that didn't fix it. I suspect either AT&T is trying to force me to use their proprietary IM client (presumably so they can charge me for text messaging) or it is indeed something wrong with my Live account.
Please help me too!
Help me too!! That makes three of us. Im using MSN over EDGE/GPRS and it won't sign in for me too. I keep getting requests of contacts that have added me..and when I click on allow, it says "There was a problem with the server". Sometimes, it just wont sign in at all, come what may.
Wow, I'm quite relieved that it's not just me!
Have you guys tried signing in over Wi-Fi? It doesnt matter what connection I use, I can never sign in.
Have you guys updated your MSN client PC side to the new 2009 version? Apparently (after I started having hassle with my Touch Diamond today) as soon as you sign in to MSN PC side on the new 2009 client with multi-sign in it renders your account buggered and in turn WinMo won't sign in no matter what you hard-reset or install.
Try an old account that has never signed in to 2009 version and your fine.

Yep this is the conclusion I have come to.
Sadly, Microsoft customer services really don't want to know. I have been in email discussion for over a month, and they are truly useless.
I guess we're at the development team's mercy, if they know or even care about this problem.
It can't be that difficult to sort out for them. Other third party apps (e.g. IM+) are logging in fine and you then get the usual "you have been signed out" message on the PC. So for now I'm going to use a chain of trial versions in the hope that MS sort this out in the next month seeing as 2009 went official this week.
And don't get me started on the new version of the PC client. What primary school children did they let loose on the design?!

try Palringo
I know this doesn't help but I'm also suffering the same problem and also fixed with a new Live ID not that it's the answer! Been playing with a lot of Live services so wasn't sure if Messenger was the cause...
I changed the messenger version and problem solved!
Do a SEARCH on this great site to find another version
Good luck,

A hint on the working version would be good if you could?

I´m using this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323847&highlight=live+messenger
Hope it helps,
Well, still no news from Microsoft regarding this issue. It has been 11 days since I last received an email stating that resolving the problem was their "top-most priority" although they could not provide a timeframe for resolution.
I've emailed them again to ask if there is any news but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed.
It's pretty disgraceful how the functionality of our devices can be reduced in this way through a problem with the server. I hope it's fixed soon.

Microsoft really needs to get more people working on Windows Mobile products. Out of nowhere, all of their mobile products (Live Mail, Live Messenger, Live Contacts, Sideshow) failed to work since the beginning of January and there is no support what so ever.
So it's been about 4 months now since I was last able to use Windows Live Messenger on my Windows Mobile device.
This is so far beyond a joke that it's become funny and then lost all funnyness again.
I am tired of using Palringo, though I do appreciate their free service.
Has anybody managed to get any information about a possible fix? I've read elsewhere that Microsoft have suggested to some people that they just create a new Windows Live ID. This is quite franky a ridiculous suggestion, as I am sure many people are quite attached to their e-mail address. Personally it would be a huge inconvenience for me to have to change my address.
The problem seems to be with the live mail address book. I managed to get it working by exporting my contacts, deleting them, and importing them again. Has been working fine now for several weeks. More info here:

I have deleted all my contacts but I am still getting "Problem with the server".
Is there anything else I can do?
I thought I should wrap this up... a few months ago it just magically started working again.
While I'm happy it is working, I'm still left concerned that the functionality of my device is purely at the mercy of Microsoft, and I am utterly helpless to do anything about it or even find out what's happening.
Uncheck the synch contacts option when installing is the solution..........in step 4 in ver 10.6.***

Hello again... I have another question. I'm looking for some way to automatically forward a copy of sms messages that I get to an email account so I don't have to worry about backing them up.
Is there anyone that knows of a way to do this?
Thanks...
Marc
If no one else can think of a way, I think I know how it could be programmed... but a local solution would be more convenient.
What device/OS are you using?

Nice to hear from you...
I'm on the blueangel (o2 XDAIIs)... wm2003 v1.42
It would be awesome if it was possible... even if it was a registry tweak or something.

Not free, but the best. Perfect integration with Microsoft Outlook. I use it since 6 months and no problems. Excelent.

Thanks for the reply... I have that program as well... It does in fact work pretty good... Seems the first version I had came with a few bugs like not reporting the time correctly when I would copy messages back onto my device and not transferring the body of "sent" sms message.. but I got the newest build and it seems to have sorted those issues out.
I also went on to their forum and they don't seem to be supporting the product any longer... at least that's how it seems from their lack of answers to questions people have had lately... (Since June or July I think)
I would still really like to send a copy to my gmail account for archival purposes... if anything a little macro that automatically creates a copy and puts it in my email inbox which I can send manually later...
I know it's a bit of an unorthodox request... but it sure would be nice to have it backed up in real time and on a server somewhere...
Thank you for the suggestion though... I do appreciate it.

I´ve reeinstale the program due aa disk format and they were very quickly to send me another Hey for the program ( 30 minutes by email...)
Hi all, not sure if this has been posted before a search came back with nothing so I thought I 'd chuck a post up.
Im sure that everyone outside the US is currently in the same boat, would love to play with skyfire, but is frustraited with the lack of non-US availability.
Well Im based in the UK and I just signed up with any US number, I basically got one from google.
I still recieved the email from skyfire with the 'download to pc' option, The link on that email asked me to generate a password, which i did.
I installed the cab and expected there to be an IP block or something similar for the region but surprisingly the ID email and password went through just fine.
the happy ending being that im now runing skyfire beta via the UK, bonza.
Hope this pleases a few people.

Thanks for the heads-up - it worked with me too. Sure there isn't any IP block.
BTW, there're a lot of usable phone numbers at http://inter800.com/cgi-bin/kwd800
The only disadvantage: They seem to tunnel all traffic through their proxy - I had e.g. a website telling me that I'm trying to access it from the US which it does not allow.

Doesnt't work wor me. I wrote the random number, downloaded and installd it on my Hermes. It asked for email and pass, after I had done it stopped on "Locating" screen... so i did a soft reset, reinstalled and... now it just shows the start screen and closes. I'm not quite sure if it's a fault of me living in Europe or something else.
Hello,
I have recently started using XDA serra which is replacement to XDA Trion that I had earlier. It has windows mobile V6.1 pre-installed and everything works just perfect. I have unlimited internet data plan and am able to browse using Opera and IE.
My problem is that I am unable to connect using Windows Live. When I try logging in I get following errors.
Error Message when trying to login Windows Live:
“Windows Live was unable to establish an internet connection. Please 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.”
Error Message when trying to login using Windows Live messenger.
“There is a connectivity problem. Make sure you’re in an area with good reception and try again.”
Now since am able to do all browsing etc I am sure the error messages are not correct. I have done my bit of googling and I know there are people who had similar issues but there isn’t a solution that I could find and make it work for me.
I even tried installing the version of messenger provided on this forum somewhere but it did not work.
The windows live version installed on this phone at the mo is: 10.6.0039.1300
Please could someone help me in sorting out this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit.
someone...anyone....
SOLVED
I somehow have got this problem solved and have been enjoying windows live for last four days. Last Sunday I was too frustrated and just went to start->Settings->System->Clear Storage.
This brought the phone to factory settings.
I then before installing anything else configured Windows Live.
Then I installed each programme one by one and deliberately left Skype as last two times I had observed that windows live had stopped working only after I installed skype.
Hope this might help some more people.
Cheers,
Ankit.
i use this program for all my finacial needs and other things like tracking ebay and netflix account as well as credit card balances. i downloaded it through windows marketplace. it worked great on the original htc pur rom . but it ran once fine on energys mar 17 rom and now does not show anything else besides the main screen and the loading screen. i do not understand why it does not give me the accounts details. anyone else try this app?
yea and im getting the same issue ;-(
Did you ever find a fix for this app or are you having the same problem still because I am having the same problem now
well I have the same problem. I contacted pageonce assistant and the tech support guy told me to access the account from the computer. Some people just don't get the point
Are there any applications for chatting on Google Talk (I believe it's the Jabber/XMPP protocol) and/or Yahoo Messenger available for WP7?
Specifically, I have an LG Optimus 7.
Same question here - anybody interested in starting a homebrew effort?
IM+ is coming, hopefully sooner rather than later.
I imagine the lack of socket support makes things a little more difficult for developers.
I heard Yahoo had a webapi (http)? I would try but it's christmas season and I got deadlines to meet at work, with a webapi a yahoo client should be easy to develop
+1 for a yahoo messenger

I'm looking for Flory but can't find it.
Did a few Google searches and found that International English versions is out in the marketplace... but I can't find it?
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: gah lame, they stopped because IM+ is out.

N/M, it's not out... Flory stopped their app because IM+ is coming out.... sigh.
What's with WP7 devs man? I'm finding a lot are like that, great app then a few weeks later, take it off the market for some stupid reason.
You won't see much until Mango because the API's developers need to really make IM's work isn't in current OS builds. Flory was horrid, and I don't think IM+ will be that great as it still needs to rely on a 3rd party server system to do notifications.
There is also no multitasking until Mango which is needed for the ability to have it run in the background and notify you when somebody sends you a message.
yea i need 1 to
