LOL, that's absolutely true
finally i can update it now after 4 days at my parent's home with lack internet connection

I've had no verified report of anybody with a windows mobile device
ever recieving any data from the windows update on wm

YES Unlike windows for PCs MS has never given any update to WM
may be due to many many different builds of roms and many many devices

i always wondered if it could actually work if microsoft had to push some deathly important security fix out...

Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

Sadly this new version still screws up my favourites when it syncs and there is still no option to sync contact categories. A great feature that got removed in 3.8
I guess you mean active sync 3.8. And one wonders if anyone had actually taken the time to write to MS or start a petition? That was a good feature and it seems odd that after all this time it still hasnt been reinstated.
Then again, VGA devices have been around for years and were now only getting VGA resolution support in WM6 so.
Still biggest improvement with this update is for WM6 users and Vista users.
Yea, 3.8!
I've written to them a millions times.

WM 6.1 and Exch2007 ActivSync error - Any way to use 6.0 AS?

With certain Exchange 2007 configurations WM 6.1 experiences an error with sending messages. Basically when an email is sent the Activesync window locks up on a white screen and the message will stay in the outbox getting resent every time the phone syncs. The only way to stop the message from being resent is to go to the outbox and manually delete the message.
MS is releasing a patch (not until Nov/Dec though) and is allowing people to request it now. I work for a large company though that will not install the patch until it has been extensively tested, and who may wonder why I reflashed my phone anyway
I am currently using Kumaras ROM and am very happy with it, and the issue is not ROM specific at all (happened for me on Dutty's and Laurentius's ROMS as well).
This issue however is forcing me to go back to 6.0, but I would love to stay with the 6.1 ROMs that are being released.
So my question is - does anyone know of any alternative to Activesync that connects with exchange, or any way to downgrade Activesync that would correct this?

I don't think there will be any client side fix, but thought I would ask before I start researching the 6.0 ROMs.
Oh and feel free to recommend a 6.0 ROM! It's been ahwile so I can't remember - I think Alex's were my favorites but it has been many flashes since I tried one.
Cheers,
Matt
bumping once to see if anyone has anything to say on this....
Cheers
well technically, a chef cannot just drop in AS from WM6.0 into a WM6.1 ROM.
activesync is not its own package. parts of it are in OS and Shell. replacing OS and Shell with WM6.0 components would kind of defeat the purpose.
Has anyone found a client side fix for this other than dowgrading to a 6.0 ROM.

Live mesh mobile client available

If you have been using the live mesh technical preview, the mobile client for wm6 is now available. Just sign in as normal and then add device.
I'm still seeing "Coming soon for mobile" The limited Mac tech preview shows up, though.

I signed in and out of live mesh and it appeared.
Must not have replicated to the servers I hit yet. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for the heads-up!
I really like live mesh, (for me at least), it just works out of the box.
Hi !
Is there someone that can post the cab ?
Thanks !
Whatever !
I found it :
http://m.mesh.com/install/wm6/LiveMesh.cab

It says US and UK on the Live Mesh blog. I am however having trouble at the point where it's trying to add the device, possibly because I'm on GPRS at the moment and it might be timing out, I guess.
SQL CE error
When I try to install I get this error message....
"Live Mesh was unable to find a suitable version of SQL CE on this device. Unable to install Live Mesh."
I've tried to install SQL, i downloaded it from microsoft directly, and its listed as "SQLServerCompact 3.5 Core" under Remove Programs....
Any ideas??? I really want to use this....
Yes, it's only for US and UK
I installed the mesh cab, and using an "US" account (a french one, but with my country changed to US ) it WORKS ! And works well. I have now a "cabstore" synced with my own server, live mesh and my TyTN II.
Great service !
Got it last night, works great with my XV6800.

I've got this exact same problem. I posted over on the Microsoft Mesh forum and am waiting for a conclusive answer. It's been passed over to the Mobile Dev team apparently.
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/LiveMesh/thread/8e80d590-9c88-4522-bdab-3d23bea718c0
I wonder if it's got anything to do with cooked roms? I'm running CRC WM 6.1 v13.0 on my Hermes.
--Update--
Apparently there is an issue with cooked ROMs as they don't all include SQL. Installing SQL seperately will not help unless you use a version lower the 3.5 but even that has not been proven yet.
I'm going to try and find an older version of SQL and give it a bash.

Firstly I am in the UK Ive downloaded the updated cab and now everytime I run it it gets past verifying user and then gets stuck on Getting mobile phone identifier and then fails
SQL CE Issue has been identified and resolved
The client needs SQL CE 3.1 installed, and does not work with SQL CE 3.5 installed.
Read and follow information in forum:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMeshMobile/thread/b8a6da09-c53a-4168-91bf-f476d2a1876f/
All working well after applying Jef K's fix over on the Mesh Forum.
Problem now is that the MEsh Client can't acquire my device ID to register the phone onto my mesh.
Issue being delt with over at http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMeshMobile/thread/c7ce844c-a4e3-4be4-838d-1ebdca5986e7
I downloaded the cab but says that I cannot do it because only a limited number of users can right now. How sad...
Does remote desktop work like the desktop version?

No
You cannot remote desktop to the phone (shame)
Limited Users
Limited Users, anyone else got the same problem?
cheeers Tom
I use mesh for a back up right now and it works great for my home computers. Some things that bugged me are:
No remote desktop.
It will only sync your remote directories to the main memory. I tried to sync my work folder and it didn't place it in the storage card.
It launches external applications to view the mesh folders (Pocket IE) and the file explorer to view local folders.
All in all, a nice first attempt. Build in remote desktop and I would PAY for a service like this!
@Networkguy: it's still the first beta... keep waiting
Unfortunately i can't find a today plugin. This is sad. Anyone has an idea?

Skype no longer available for WM phones

If you are a skype heavy user with your mobile (as myself), let me tell you that is no longer available for download in the skype's website. They state the following:
"We’ve chosen to withdraw Skype Lite and Skype for Windows phones because we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience –much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone, and which is now available on Symbian phones".
So...if you have installed skype for wm in your phone, you will only have 2010 to still used it.
read the whole thing here
Can I still use Skype Lite if I already have it?
Yes. People who have already installed Skype Lite can continue to use it throughout 2010.
Can I still use Skype for Windows phones if I already have it?
Yes. People who have already installed Skype for Windows phones can of course continue to use it.

On the second question they do not say anything about stopping after 2010...
So?, do they will launch another version later?, or will be gone forever?
skype is not giving a detailed explanation on what will happen after 2010 finishes...
Hope they do something about it
Thanks for the article
Saludos,

You problably are right orb, my first impression was...mmm...maybe they are preparing skype for Windows Phone 7....but if they shutdown the service (app compatibility) by the end of this year for WM, I'll be scre**d....because I'm still planning to have my HTC devices until next year. I still have my Nokia which was a present, but my primary device is the Kaiser....man I love WM..and seen this makes me consider to migrate to other OS.

[Q] internet sharing over wifi for older HTC Mango Devices [HD7,Mozart, etc.]

I've seen that wifi internet tethering/sharing is supported on mango devices and its actually available on the new HTC phones like TItan. Also, I've seen on the deployment section of this forum that people have figured out how to enable this on older wp7 phones from Samsung. How can this feature be enabled on older HTC phones running Mango, such as HD7 or mozart? I've been waiting for this feature forever.. If its available on Titan, which is from HTC, running the same Mango OS that I have on my HD7, why cant it be enabled on HD7?
i heard that we have to wait for hardware update.
HTC announced that it will release a firmware update in the future that enable tethering.
but when? mango's here, new mango phones are here... when will the firmware/hardware update be herE? and how would we know? would it pop like like the software update notification on the phone?
I just received a HTC Update a day after I updated to Mango 7720 from 7712 (Developer unlocked HD7) but there is no internet sharing option. I wonder what that htc update was for?
i tried the xap from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
i got internet sharing option under Settings on my phone. But upon turning it on, i get an error message saying there's something wrong with the settings.
I cant post on that thread coz i'm a newbie here. Can anyone help resolve this?
Instead of creating a new thread, you could have simply followed the already existing thread of enabled IS.
They are working on it, for every phone, so just sit tight and wait for them to do so. Subscribe to the thread if you have to, but its most definitely being worked on.
thanks for the update.. i am following those threads... just that i'm a new member, so i'm not allowed to reply to those threads... hence i'm posting here
Hello, I cannot find the topic you're talking about. I have HTC 7 Pro, 7.10.7720.68, open market. When will I receive update enabling internet sharing or is there any unofficial way to enable it? I am forced to use my old WM6.1 device to do internet sharing from 3G to bluetooth to PC, but I want to use my Windows Phone!
Thanks.
rumour HD7 could support share feature.
Internet Sharing is working on my Trophy...
Cheers!

does anyone have the actual link directly to the mozart 51007 CAB?
Can this update be installed over-the-air, or I must connect the phone to a PC?
