Reinstall Pocket MSN on Treo 750v?

As you all know, the Treo 750v does not come with Pocket MSN, but it is sometime nice to be able to chat on MSN Messenger while on the road. Does anyone know how one goes about reinstalling Pocket MSN onto a device? I have other WM5 devices (Tytn), is it possible to extract the program into a cab to install?

It should be. It can most likely be extracted from the 750 Cingular rom update and cab'd up.

man, better use agile messenger for wm5 - last beta is free and it is so much better than the old msn messenger:
- use smileys
- send camera pictures directly
- keep history of chats (just like on pc)
- use not only msn but also icq, aol, yahoo, google im
here's the download: http://updates.am-im.net/AgileMessengerWMPPC.zip - it's the cab file in the zip, so copy it over to your device and run it there. hint: make the cab file write protected on your desktop (right click on the cab), then copy it over to your mobile's storage card and install it. it won't be deleted then and you can always reinstall it when you need it again.
cheers, lutz

Just install this... ;-)

Does that use WIFI or sms to send messages?

it uses wife to connect, if wifi is available and enabled. sms is never used to send messages, if there is no wifi it uses gprs/3g connection.
i would not use the windows live client - it's a big monster...
cheers, lutz

Hi,

Thanks for U help.

Excellent, thats just what I'm looking for. Seems like I'd have to pay for it though, not a good sign. Is there anyway I can get this program for free?

Upgrade to Cigular ROM

Sorry, I wasn't clear on what I said.
I already have Pocket MSN on my MDA, but I'd like to use Agile messenger since it can be used over WIFI too. My question is, is there a way to get Agile for free? I know its a long shot.
One more thing, can Agile be used over GPRS?

Agile for you
Here you go. And yes it can be used with GPRS

I tried that file, seems like it needs WIFI. How did you get it to work with GPRS?

Works on GPRS
I just installed it on my Treo and it works with GPRS even with my MDA pro it uses the available source GPRS.

I get an error message when trying with GPRS saying:
All connections failed, switch to contactlist?
I'm not sure why this is. sucks

Agile on Treo
Maybe it works on a Treo 750 but not on your PPC?
Or do you also have a Treo?
Check the site; http://www.agilemobile.com/agile_messenger.html
To me it sounds like e settingproblem because it even works on my SPV550, my Qtek S100 and on a Qtek 2020 without any problems
Good luck!

I don't have a Treo, but a PPC (MDA). I haven't managed to get it to work with GPRS(EDGE), but thanks for your help anyway.
EDIT: I have managed to get it to work on GPRS SOMEHOW. I haven't done anything and it just started working. This is great, I can be on MSN/Yahoo/Google messengers from anywhere! Thanks!

thanks of rthe post of the file, even though its a beta version, I think is really good. I have the SPV M3100. It works really well. When it comes of beta will they make us pay for full version?
Many thanks again!

Agile
YEP they let you pay! :-(

The old msn is in the ROM Memory, you cann't delete it, so just install the new one, it will rewrite the registry.

I can use it for the first 2 days, but now whenever I try to access WLM , it will connect via EDGE eventhough wifi is connected, when I connect it via activesync, it will say sign in failed.
does it work for you guys ?

hey my fellow r-tards.... does this work whith xda iq?
because the xda site said stuff for sp may not work on iq..
so any any help on this one?
regards, stuart... o krap! i revieald my name.... uhhh bye!

of course it works with xda iq, which is shipped with windows mobile smartphone edition 5.0.

Same for me, connects thru EDGE although WIFI is avalible, really annoying
Also, I can't change display name, anyone else experiencing that?

I had to disable EDGE, and delete all EDGE settings before being able to connect via WiFi

I will update the live mobile to the latest version soon.

It seems to work with some caveats:
messenger can't send messages. Presence can be seen, but no messages.
Push email sorta-works. It did in my early tests, but later I think it might not be. May need to be "logged in" to live to fix this. Also, I noted a setting on when to sync (manually/as needed/15 mins / 30 mins / etc). "As needed" is not selectable..
Thanks for your work though - very promising.

it works fine on my phone, a bit slow gotta get the omap clock again.. didnt like it cos of the warranty stuff but whatever.... only tried it through bluetooth > computer >internet though
EDIT: Damn! all my msn contacts is in my contact book, i dont want that, hundreds of mails, anyone have a sulotion?

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:

Install instructions can you get here:

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.

works great metanol...I didn't experiment any issue with messenger, works just like supposed to do
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. I have to manually go and sync.... and then it works just fine... am I doing something wrong?

Is there an updated version for smartphones?

Possibility to disable GPRS complete?

Hey, I gota annoying GPRS problem!
I changed the setting of "Application with automatically Internet-access" and "Application with automatically ptivate Network-access" in "Connections"-Menu to "corporate-Network" (I don't know how these menus are called in english version of windows mobile) but if I start e.g. youtube.com the TCPMPlayer launches and GPRS (O2-Internet) connects..
I never wanted to use the slow and ecpensive O2-GPRS and I will never start it myself.
How can I do a full disable of o2 Internet-Connections?
But I can't install WM6 after Hardreset without "branding" because TomTom is placed in extended rom.

Did you had a look at

What I did on mine was to edit the settings so that all the login name had a little "x" at the end. This way I can always use it if I really needed it. The GPRS never connects.

Thanks man NoData ist a great App!
So it takes only a klick to reactivate if I need it.

skyfire via wlan

Hello,
I tried skyfire 0.85 and 1.5... for WM.
Is it possible to go online via WLAN?
Every time I start skyfire it wants to connect via data service (Locating...).

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I'd say you have your terminology a bit messed up.
Regardless, as far as I know, it is possible to connect to Skyfire both through WLAN (i.e. WiFi) and your data service (i.e. UMTS). I don't think I've ever attempted to connect to Skyfire through WLAN, but I'm sure it'd be a bigger topic if it wasn't possible.

Maybe skyfire is not the best browser for such an old pocket-pc like x800.
I've now tried a cracked firmware from HTC with windows mobile 6.1 (legally not available for x800) without all the glofiish stuff - and now it's working
Thank you.

Yes...You can connect Skyfire through WLAN. First connect ur PPC to WLAN and ensure that the internet connection is active. Open Skyfire and it will go to WLAN. In case if it searches for data service, you can cancel it and it will search for WLAN
