Windows Live not working over mobile connection?

Gents,
Is anyone experiencing problems with Windows Live on their Touch Pro?
I can't seem to sign into MSN or sync hotmail while on a mobile connection. Wi-Fi works fine...
Any ideas?

check your contract with your provider.
Many networks block MSN because they would rather you pay for SMS messages.

Go to your network settings and uncheck the 'this connection need a proxy' setting. Sorry, don't have my phone in front of me so can't be more specific!

Working ok on Vodafone. When I've had this problem in the past on previous devices, it has been due to messed up connection settings - usually if I've restored from an old backup.
Try running the connection wizard again, and as nuttyphilt says, go to:
Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Edit > Proxy Settings, and make sure that "This network uses a proxy server...." is unticked.

Legends. That was it. Weird, I never had an issue on my Kaiser, I guess teh auto-config has changed slightly.
Thanks for your help guys it's much appreciated.
EDIT:
This also fixes the YouTube application.

Having the same problem
I've unchecked teh proxy settings option but I still cant connect to the internet (or sync hotmail) - I'm on vodafone by the way

I have Tmobile and I cant for thelife of me connect to the internet, get mail updates or weather updates, unchecked the proxy but nothing, I have a data plan as well.

Hi,
Which T-Mobile do you have? T-Mobile Germany has blocked some ports for some of their products. There is a cheap data flatrate with limited speed and port 80 only (no POP,IMAP,NTP...) and a expensive Flatrate without this limitation.
Do you have the right conection settings?
Check if your APN is internet.t-mobile
User: t-mobile
PW: t-d1
Check if this connection is your default connection for Internet.

Out of interest, do you use messenger on the vodafone network, and if so, have you ever been charged outside of the data plan? The T&C's state that these kind of applications will be charged at £2 per meg. Just wondered if voda actually take any action?

Recently had this issue tried everything, then found this and it worked - many thanks.

How to disable GPRS warning?

I have the Fuze version on at&t network. I've disabled 3G on AT&T's side so there is no way to connect through there.
Nevertheless, my phone ALWAYS tries to connect to the 3G network and i've disabled 3G connections using Nodata.cab, advancedconfig, diamondtweaks.
Still, the warning signs always come up:
"there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning"
and this occurs, when I turn on the phone and many other times.
Is there a way to disable this warning? I know I cant connect, its because i disabled it!!!!

anyone? it comes up like 50x a day andi have to click OK to make it go away every single time

Have you unchecked the auto update setting for the weather program? Doing this worked for me.

did that, but didnt fix the problem. anything else that can be auto updating or trying to contact the 3G network?

Go to start -- settings -- connections -- connections --advanced -- select network.
Here I think you can change the defaults so that when ever a program tries to use internet it will either use wifi (if available) or nothing....
I have blocked the wireless internet access on all my lines and this is how I solved the problem of getting gprs disconnect warnings.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to just disable this warning?
I'm switching between my personal and business SIM cards quite often, and I have the data connection disabled on the business card, while on personal I have a data plan, so I want to be always-online.

I disabled aGPS and now i dont get the warning as much. (remember, i disabled GPRS from att side).
when i start my phone, i get 1 warning (i used to get 3?)
maybe i'm on the right track...

But the point is not to disable features so they don't auto-connect to the Internet.
The point is for the OS to try to onnect automatically, but when it failes - it doesn't have to scream that to your face every 5 minutes.

I'm bumping this thread cause I did the same thing and want to know how to disable the message as well.

still no answer to this

Translating from Dutch, so bear with me:
Go to Personal > phone > network settings and put the band on GSM.
Note that you won't be able to use the 3G + H data connections then.

my father has the same problem on his Diamond, need help!

bump, i have the same problem as well
any solutions?

i have a solution.
download > install > and run NOGPRS.cab aka No Data. that will shut it up. i just had the same problem and i did that and now i havnt gotten any... i think i might get like one if i turn the phone on and off and what not, but other then that its fine.

Solution to GPRS warning message
Go to settings > Connections > Connections > advanced > select networks >
now check both options to 'my work network'
click ok
and reboot
the irritating message will go away.
until you again reinstall the sim into your phone and it will automatically reconfigure the settings.
Just repeat the above process.

solution
1. Tap Start.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Phone.
4. Tap the Network Tab.
5. Tap the Network Selection Drop down.
6. Tap Manual.
7. Tap the desired network.
8. Tap Ok.

Roaming Issue

Hi, I have a successfully unlocked Vodafone Touch Pro in the Uk. For months, I was using my tmobile sim card within the phone, and it was all fine. I got decent HSDPA signal, and when I didn't, GPRS or Edge was fine. However, I have now put my H3G (3 UK) simcard in, and whenever I don't have access to 3G/HSDPA my phone tells me I am roaming. Now, I thought this would be ok, however whilst roaming, my emails are not picked up automatically. I also get messages with facebook (official) about roaming. Is there any way to force the phone to say I am not roaming?
Thank you

Try changing your APN (access point name) from three.co.uk to 3internet. Couldn't pick up emails or access internet under gprs before I did this.
Start | Settings | Connections | Connections | Advanced tab | Select Networks | edit the 3 internet connection ...

Thanks for your reply. I can access them fine, however, because my phone thinks it is roaming (in another country, hence data charges) It will not automatically send/receive emails. I am asking whether anybody has come across a workaround for this. Thanks for reply though, Much appreciated

Have you enabled the option to "Use automatic send/receive schedule when roaming"?
Look under Start | Messaging | Menu | options
Click the appropriate email account
Hit Send/receive schedule
Hit Advanced settings
... ensure the "roaming" option is ticked

thank you so much, a real help that is
I may be pushing you guys' ability a bit far but is there a way to tell the phone I am not roaming?
Thanks for they help!

No problem.
As for the roaming indicator - not sure if you can disable it. It still shows up on mine when I'm on 2G, but it doesn't really bother me.
Shaun.

Thanks Shaun

[Q] Sprint TP2 6.5 Data Roaming in Europe?

I just went to France for three weeks with my Sprint TP2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 (official Sprint upgrade, with Sprint SIM installed). I signed up for Sprint's unlimited data roaming plan before I left. When I arrived, my phone worked OK only for phone service with Sprint's European partners Orange F and F SFR - data roaming refused to work despite my following Sprint's written directions. I contacted Sprint and we tried various configuration changes, but after none of them worked, Sprint shipped me a Sprint TP2 running 6.1 (Sprint SIM) which worked fine for both phone and data roaming with default settings. Now I'm back in the US but would like to resolve the issue.
Questions for any XDA experts out there:
Where are the settings for SIM data roaming kept on the phone? (I couldn't find relevant settings in the TP2 Registry.)
Are there particular settings I should change to allow data roaming?
Are there any 'hidden' settings that might resolve this problem?
Could 6.5 have caused a problem that didn't exist in 6.1?
Any other ideas? Let me know if you need more information.
Many thanks!

not sure what settings they gave you.. but i can direct you in one place:
comm manager -> settings (right bottom soft key) -> Phone -> this is where i would go ..... check out network tab and GSM/UMTS services tab... use Get Settings to look deeper
let me know if that helps

There are a few likely possibilities:
1) The original SIM account information was improperly setup as voice only (quite likely).
2) The default connection info wasn't configured in the connection tab with the GSM data, and was still trying to connect to #777 (CDMA data line). This would obviously fail.
WM6.5 should work fine with data on both GSM and CDMA.

In the connections settings under manage existing connections you need to have the following to have Sprint dataroaming on GSM
Access Point = cinet.spcs
Server assigned IP and DNS

Thanks for the replies. As you could tell, I'm not an expert on this issue, and I've noticed that different versions of the TP2 apparently have different menu structures. So I have some follow-up questions:
For gamescan:
"1) The original SIM account information was improperly setup as voice only (quite likely)." Is this something that only Sprint can change, or something I can modify on my phone? (I would assume it's phone-specific, as the otherwise identical TP2 Sprint shipped me worked properly for data roaming.)
"2) The default connection info wasn't configured in the connection tab with the GSM data, and was still trying to connect to #777 (CDMA data line). This would obviously fail." Where exactly is that setting on a Sprint phone? I haven't been able to find it yet.
Thank you for the reassurance that 6.5 should work properly.
For highc:
"In the connections settings under manage existing connections you need to have the following to have Sprint dataroaming on GSM
"Access Point = cinet.spcs
"Server assigned IP and DNS"
Where are these settings on a Sprint 6.5 phone? I would have assumed that they're somewhere on the Comm Manager page, but I can't find the above under Phone or under Data Connection.
For mboguc:
The Get Settings button for GSM doesn't seem to have any settings that relate to data or data roaming. The only settings relating to roaming seem to be on the Get Settings tab for CDMA, which weren't accessible in Europe w/ GSM.
Again, I appreciate the feedback and hope to be able to narrow down the problem with assistance.

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
The phone settings and Comm Manager are both wrong places to be looking.

"Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
"The phone settings and Comm Manager are both wrong places to be looking."
Thanks.
However, as noted above, menus vary depending on phone carrier and OS version. HTC has hidden the Windows Phone menus pretty well in 6.5. For my Sprint TP2 running 6.5, I have the following options for Start -> Settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)("..wrong place..")
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
Nothing resembling Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections here... The Tools menu has Comm Manager, but as you note, it's apparently not what I'm looking for. No other relevant options under Tools.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Oh, sorry. I usually run with Sense disabled.
Just disable it in the Today menu senttings and it'll be easy to find. Bring up the Today settings and then uncheck "HTC Sense" under the items menu.
Go back to the home screen and viola, you have the vanilla Win 6.5 interface. It's faster than sense and everything is where it belongs.
You can always re-enable Sense if you want it after making your changes.

"Oh, sorry. I usually run with Sense disabled."
Ahh, thanks, yes that lets me get to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
This turns out to be the same as Start -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Phone -> Data Connection in Sense. Under that menu, I have two choices, Sprint and My Work Network. I gather from the above comments that the necessary fixes should be under Sprint -> Manage Existing Connections (not under My Work Network).
I assume Existing Connections is where highc's recommendations would go:
"Access Point = cinet.spcs
"Server assigned IP and DNS"
Of course, now that I'm back in the US, the only things there are for Sprint/CDMA; there's nothing there related to GSM data connections on either the Sprint 6.1 phone or my 6.5 phone... I assume there was something while I was there?
Are the GSM-related "existing settings" documented anywhere? There are quite a few choices, and I certainly don't want to brick my phone . And are these settings stored somewhere in the Registry?

You can have multiple data connections setup in there. That's the standard Windows Mobile location for what is basically dial-up networking settings.
Each "connection" is nothing more than a specialized number for an ISP (typically your carrier). You set a default connection and then the phone uses that whenever you initiate a data call.
If you switch to GSM mode and are runing off a SIM, this is where you would put the data call information for that carrier.
You cannot brick your phone by editing these settings. At worst you'll end up disabling data, but a quick call to your carrier will get you the settings necessary to get it back.
Anything that is stored on your phone will be visible here.

[Q] O2 Ireland Billpay settings

Hi I purchased a sim free sensation from Vodafone Ireland and am setting it up for o2 Ireland. All works well except receiving MMS....I seem to be able to send them but not receive. Has anybody the setting handy...I have exhausted their website to no avail. Thanks.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055990268
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > [MENU BUTTON] > New APN

Still no joy
Try as I will no Joy. I have entered every imaginable setting into the APN settings and all is working well - Internet is flying, SMS sending and receiving - BUT while I can send MMS messages I cannot receive them. O2 have reset the provisioning several times but still zilch. I don't even get a notification.........

Solution
Turns out that because my last handset was a wretched iPhone the server side in 02 was set for MMS delivery in iMode - this is incompatible with HTC Androids, once changed by O2 all works well. Bloomin iPhone !!!!
