How do i get messenger working on my S740 - General Topics

I've already posted this on the Rose forum, but i'm positive it's something fundamental ive missed on account of this being my first real HTC device.
I've just picked up my S740 and i'm trying to get it working with my Three sim card. The phone and the internet work oK, but i can't seem to get MSN working. I just get a cannot connect message.
In fact, i've even connected to my wifi network and messenger still does not want to work. There must be something simple i am missing!
I've even downloaded parlingo but it does not connect to either msn or yahoo messenger. The odd thing is that i browsed to the parlingo site on the phone, downloaded it on the phone, but when i run it can't connect.
I hope someone can help.

Hope it helped,

OK, i've worked out the problem.
There's nothing wrong with the phone. The problem is with the f*@#ed up 3 Mobile SIM which totally locks up the device and does not allow you to do anything. I suspected something was up when i couldnt install the newer Live file due to insufficient rights.
So for anyone searching for a similar issue, you cannot use this device with a Three mobile SIM. Unless someone knows how to unlock it?

New error ive never seen

When trying to login to Live messenger it goes through the sync processes then fails.
error is
Code:
Personal settings: Failed to synchronize
any ideas? I tried searching the forum but got no answer. It lets me login to messenger just fine, only thing not that does not sync is my personal settings.
Might be a server problem. Was it working before?
on a diffrent version of wm6 yes. ive tested it on 2 from this build maybe it is a server issue. i didnt think of that
I have had this error for a long time, figured i was the only one experiencing it....It happens on my phone and my wifes phone........experienced it on the Core rom and on Crossbow reloaded and on the one Im on now.

I get the same message as well, have been for quite a while. But your email etc all still syncs fine, and direct push seems to work on live mail too, so i dont think its a major issue??
reinstall Live. That is what I did as i had the same problems.

Kinda major to me when im trying to get a good rom with no errors to push public. LOL. Im just picky that way
what version of windows live are you using?
Need to clear password and switch account.
If you clear your password and switch account in the Live options it will sync again.

WM 6.1 (samsung) problem

I manage a bunch of WM phone at work.
I got a strange one.. that I can't figure out
Now normally I try and convince people at work to get an HTC..
But I have a few Moto Q and now a few Samsung users.
One new user just got a Samsung Epix (SGH-i907), and I setup an IMAP email on it same as all the other users. No Problem. Phone works well.. Kinda like the mouse/touchpad thingy..
Anyway..
Then a few days later it won't send email. Still recieves, but trying to send no matter what address gives you.
"The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."
No matter what I tried it would still error out.
Tried sending via SSL.. Shut down completely... Nothing..
If I delete and re-setup the account it would work again for a few days then the same thing all over again..
Anyone got any ideas....
I am at a loss...
ATT Sim, Untouched phone, nothing even installed on it beside the default apps and Google Maps.
although youve not installed much according to your sig youve got a custom rom. i recomend going to the rom thread and searching for similar issues if you cant find any then ask in that thread

My sig is my phone..
Nothing to do with the phone in question..
then unfortunatley im out, i dont know much about att roms
only thing i can think of is if the password for the email account is changed every few weeks or whatever by default then you may run inti problems
i did this once and i couldnt think of why my phone couldnt connect not realising that id changed the password online
I finally figured out the issue.
It's with only some of the earlier builds of WM 6.1
From Microsofts site:
The problem occurs if a mobile operator doesn't use this feature, and therefore doesn't supply a value for the alternate SMTP address. When the mobile device fails on any attempt to connect to the e-mail provider's default SMTP server, Windows Mobile 6.1 automatically loads the value for the alternate SMTP server—which in this case is blank. The e-mail account configuration details are then corrupted, which results in loss of the ability to send e-mail with that particular e-mail account.

WM MySpace "Unable to contact server" Error

Well, I've searched and searched and Googled and Googled but it seems that this error persists for me.
I downloaded the MySpace mobile app from Marketplace and found that when I try to login, it provides me the error message, "Unable to contact server. Application will now close." This has been pestering me for weeks now. I have tried digging through the phone's internet settings, proxy, registry; everything looking for something. It's time I break down and ask.
Any insight on this issue would be well appreciated.
TMo US HD2
SIM Unlocked
Stock ROM
I had this happening all of the sudden as well. It has worked all the time. Though like a week ago it suddenly decided it doesn't work anymore and I see the same error. I already tried re-installing but no luck. Unfortunately all other apps are working (Marketplace, google maps, email, opera, motweets etc.)
Yes, it seems very odd. I am wondering why there seems to be no real solution. I have found many questions about it but no one seems to know why it happened.
Same situation here and still no solution found.
Its a large problem.
There are complaints all over the Internet about this. It has been going on for a while now. Even bigger problem is that once you install it, and it doesn't work, there is no way to uninstall it.
The Mypace application doesn't work anymore. It has to do something with their server, and I doubt there is ever going to be a fix..it has been like this since 3 months

[Q] Gmail website not working over 3G? (works on wifi)

Hi everyone, I hope this question hasn't been asked before (I couldn't find anything, but I'd be surprised if I were the only person with this problem).
I just got a Nexus S (not rooted or anything yet) and a friend wanted to check his email on it, but the Gmail website doesn't seem to work unless I'm on wifi (It finishes loading very quickly and all I get is a blank white page - no error message or anything). I tried going to the site directly (wwwDOTgmailDOTcom, gmailDOTcom - same problem) and accessing it through a google search (gmail, gmail login, gmail mobile, etc.), but no dice. It works fine on wifi. Is there a way to get it to work, or has anyone else had this problem? I have Java, flash, and plugins all enabled in my settings, and everything else seems to be working great both on 3G and wifi.
If that doesnt work, does anyone know if it requires a lot of data to temporarily sync someone's account to my email app and then remove the email account when they're done? I had to do that to get my friend's account to work, but I wouldn't want to do it all the time if that's what I need to do for a friend to check their email on my phone.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out. I know it seems like a dumb question, but I'm new to Android and couldn't find anything in any of the settings menus. I assume it's because Google wants you to set up accounts for syncing, but in this case it's just for people who want to log in quickly and check their email.
(sort of a bump)
Since nobody seems to know what my problem is, could someone please check if they have any difficulties logging into gmail's website on 3G (NOT wifi) and let me know if it works? I haven't rooted or anything, so it would still help me know if it's a phone problem or something with my settings. Thanks.
i have same problem
No gmail and no downloads from google market app on 3G. All work fine through WIFI. (Droid 2 from Verizon, now using on other network).

[Q] Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.

Not solved. Apparently I needed to use a VPN to connect my account though Talk. But now when my VPN isn't on nothing will sync and my gmail won't load. Until today I have never needed a VPN to log into my Google account. Something is obviously still wrong.
So I've flashed dozens of ROM's at this point and have never had this problem before. I have read all the threads and tried the following fixes ...
Pulled SIM and used WIFI
Factory reset
You Tube account ... This actually registers my Google info under accounts but won't sync at all. When I try to sync contacts or anything I get a red exclamation point and nothing happens.
Flashed other ROM's and different gapps.
Tried logging in though other gapps such as Talk and Gmail. Again YouTube will show up on my account tab as synced. It's green and looks synced but if I try to manually sync it the red error shows up again and nothing has actually been synced.
There must be a reason for this yes?
I should also mention that I'm in Shanghai. However I have never had a problem before. What gives? Why now? Could it really be that the server is down and I should just try again tomorrow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Yeah... i've been having a similar problem in xiamen for about 3 days... china unicom?
Oh? And also never had this happen before? Happened after you flashed a new ROM?
I'm with CMCC.
What makes me think something is rotten is Chinatown is the fact that if I do use my VPN everything is OK. I'm hoping this isn't the case.
I'm searching for some old TB files I can toss on my phone to try and restore it to an earlier date. If that doesn't work maybe a super crusty old ROM will work. I really am out of ideas at this point.
I wonder if getting rid of root and going stock would fix anything?
Error Message
I have also same problem for past 3 days on China Mobile in Shanghai. I belive it should be something to do with the carrier or Network accessibility to Google products... I am on Galaxy S2.
Today I checked on couple of my friends with Nexus and Galaxy S1 and confirmed that they also face same problem...
Currently the only Google app that's working is Google Translate ... The rest however won't work without my VPN on.
So it looks like this is both CMCC and Unicom so far. I don't even know if there is anything else.
The funny thing is Google + has been working on my phone from launch with no problems. Not anymore though.
Anyway there are so many places selling Android devices in China I could only imagine that this is temporary.
I wonder if there is any way to edit some of the carrier info to make things work?
Apparently there is something going on, it looks like.
It looks like it's happened before, and after about 3-4 days it sets itself aright...
Anyone figure out a workaround? I was using a pretty good VPN, but the android version only has pptp and therefore barely works here. I can't get any programs, email, or anything on my phone after a factory reset... this makes me sad.
*had some links posted but I guess I need to post a few more times before it lets me*
Anyone figure out any updates or fixes for this yet?
It's been like that for several days now...I'm with CMCC. After sometimes it'll be okay as usual....black "magic" I would call it.
VPN is a no no for me, used to work fine till they block it. I'm using SSH Tunnel now...no problem in general except from time to time (once in a very blue moon like now) when "they" cast their "magic"
Without tunneling. market couldn't get through these days.
How annoying. I even tried taking out my SIM card, and doing a hard reset, and then trying to download my software from my WIFI, but it's not a DDWRT router so I can't access the VPN.
Is there software that can turn an OpenVPN connected computer into a Wifi router? If I logged into my computer which is on a VPN, maybe I could at least re-download all my apps from the market......
*sigh* or wait heh
I got the same problem like last 5 days ...i m in China too ..with china unicom ...i tried everything possible like factory reset, uninsalling and installing gapps, install stock image , cache cleaning ....BUT ...CAN'T LOGIC GOOGLE ....
at last i used VPN on my phone ..and its sync and connect in a second ...problem gone...Happy to have my fully functional phone back
MAGIC Happened again
Just trying to log into the market .. yes now we can access the market and other google products..
