Help setting up yahoo on TC

Just got my TC tonight and I cant put it down. I LOVE this device. Ive never had a WM phone before but have played with them without any desire to own one. Well I really like how much can be optimized and configured, and thats not even considering all the tweaks found here.
Anyway, my current issue is that I cant get my yahoo email to work. Now, it could be that Im coming from a Blackberry Curve so my phone package is the blackberry BIS. Would this inhibit me getting my email? If so, do I have to call up ATT tomorrow and get set up on the smartphone program instead?

The POP/IMAP email access requires a normal dataplan... After that the device can configure itself for the mail access (after you enter you email adrdess in the new account creation). But if you want better useability, and more security than you should configure it manually whith IMAP access... if Yahoo! supports it...

I like my BB Curve better. I guess I have way too many things against me as a Mac user also. Its a neat phone but not what I really want.

yahoo/gmail issues
I am having a weird problem. When connected over wifi, yahoo and google connect and download mail like you'd expect.
When connected to 3G or Gprs network google and yahoo fail to connect. The phone tries to make another connection, like it does not know there is already a data connection.
I know my data connection is good at 3G, because I surf the web all day...
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out...
Had to uncheck the "use proxy" setting on the connection profile under "proxy"

Let me make this more clear for you.... I recently downloaded the palringo app....that comes from palringo....I got a message from my server that says an ip address in the UK has been searching through my accounts. So I tracked them down, and it went straight to palringo. The application stole my account info

@nikko1000
Actually your explanation isn't very clear.

"searching through my accounts"? What does this mean? And what accounts: accounts of IMs that you have connected to your Palringo account?

- ok maybe you don't get this...
1. I downloaded palringo on my android phone
2. I got a message saying that i can't log in on the app
3. I went online, and i got a message from my email, saying that there is suspicious activity on several accounts, coming from 1 ip address
4. I looked up the IP address, it went straight to palringo
5. I posted this up, and complained multiple times, and looked up other people having the same problem.

So what happens when you try to log into palringo via there desktop app?
You said you were able to check your email - so does this mean your IM accounts that palringo uses are still working?

You didn't answer most of my questions, but nevermind...
Why is it so weird and suspicious to you, that there were connections from Palringo IP, if this is exactly what Palringo should do?

you're still not getting this - they showed that they logged in with their ip address, and changed information on mine, without permission, obviously meaning that they logged in, with the info that was given to them

they showed obvious proof that they were trying to change my password, so i had to recover it through my cellphone

Yeah, but this is how Palringo works - it connects to services from Palringo servers. So if e.g. someone guessed your Palringo password, then he got access to all your connected accounts and all connections were from Palringo IP.
I mean: that may not be a guy from Palringo, but anyone who got access to your Palringo account.

this is not a random person, my password is practically un-guessable.... its a 20 letter code.... example : XAO352Fs3934HOe93kdj..... and who would have access to my account? i don't share my password, or my cellphone

1. WHICH Account? Do you mean just your palringo account, or all the IM accounts you are using with it?
Here is my guess of what's happened.
You installed Palringo on your Android device, started up and everything looks normal.
Now ONE (or maybe more?) or your IM accounts is indicating there was some weird activity.
You went to whatever IM account and noticed a bunch of connections from the palringo servers. (This is OK and actually not a problem - as that's how the palringo service works)
Thus - your handheld is probably logging you out and logging you in again over and over - which causes your IM service to think there is a problem when there is not. Either your 3G is going off or your wifi is going off - prolly when you put your phone in standby.

that is probably what happened.... but how do you explain the fact that my password was changed on facebook, and gmail?

Good question. It *does* sound like you hacked somehow - but I seriously doubt that anyone at palringo had anything to do with it.
Either someone got your palringo username/password and then changed your passwords to gmail and facebook via that (if you even can) - or you were hacked some other way.
I would take a close look at your home computer (or any other machines you've used lately) and make sure you have no virus / trogans / mailware etc on those because odds are that's actually where the hack happened.
Have you had any luck recovering your facebook and gmail accounts? What a bummer I know how bad that sucks.

So, IP addresses usually point to ISP s... How did you track and identify this organization or individual?

Suspecting MIGHTY ROM of bad stuff.

ok so i hacked my touch pro 2 a while ago and used mighty rom as the flavor of choice. installed some japanese lanugae suport and some apps including a facebook tab for manilla. here is the thing. i use my cellphone for my hotmail and for my facebook. shorty after using my phone for the facebook app i spam msged some account and facebook security told me it happend from a log in in peru! wtf?
also i dont use it for hotmail any more becuase it would mass send spam msgs
i dont know if this is a virus or what but the mass spaming stoped when i yanked my batery.
i dont think windows mobile is safe when its hacked...

you sure youre not using dictionary passwords?
Random letters numbers and capitalizations are pretty much required these days. Also make sure youre not using the same password for multiple sites.
Ive had both my Facebook and Hotmail accounts hacked a few months back. Facebook is used in WM, but my Hotmail was just forwarded to gmail, so my phone has no record of it. Not to mention Im sure theres people out there who monitor and check all network traffic on all devices. IF this rom was sending out malicious data, Im sure someone would have picked up on this.
Just use really secure passwords and use lastpass for both mobile and computer. its like $12USD a year to use mobile iirc. Problem solved. Let them try to hack a 10+ character random password.

my password is 9 charectures long and 1 special charecture its somthing you need alt codes to get. some how the way windows mobile stores passwords is NOT SAFE. i have 2 diffrent passwords for facebook and msn

[Q] Windows Live account problem

My Focus acts weird when I add the first windows live account.
When I plug in my live account, then
"[email protected]" is added as a live account
(with a random password.)
So the access to market apps is completely blocked
and since the first live account is not deletable I have to hard reset each time.
Is there anyone having same problem? What would be solution?
Thanks in adv.

This is a first

"[email protected]" is the sample email you see in the field where you are to enter your own email address that is associated with your main Windows Live account. The password field should be blank, though - no characters at all.
Are you saying that you can setup your Live account fine, and then another account appears afterward that you haven't set up?

Yes, I setup my Live account at settings, and random account appears.
Here are some screenshots.
http://yfrog.com/h0a12rjj
http://yfrog.com/h7v5gj
Like this, "[email protected]" is actually added as the primary Windows Live account. On Marketplace the account is also "[email protected]" and I can't change it.
(I know this address should be an example.... but here it is weird.)
By the way, I think I posted this on Focus forum, but I don't know why it ended being in WP7 forum. Although it doesn't matter.

Very strange, indeed. What did Tech Support say?

anything on this?

Having the same problem on a ATT HD7S.
Got my HD7S from ATT yesterday. Still can't get it to set up correctly. No tutorials for the HD7 (or HD7S) on the ATT web site like the box indicates either.
When ever I try to add a Windows Live account (a primary account using an existing Windows Live ID that is not associated with any other device and not modifying the stupid default ATT demo account) it fails. Yes, all spelling and password is correct. The account address then reads "something[at]example[dot]com" and "Attention required" and the account can not be modified or deleted (I assume this is because it is supposed to be the primary phone account?). ATT support is horrible and was absolutely no help.
Stupid thing also keeps showing a Meet Windows Phone kind of screen saver whenever the phone goes idle. I am hoping this goes away once the primary Windoes Live account is set up.
Searching XDA forums for "something[at]example[dot]com" and "Attention required" was also of no help. What should I be searching for?
Really ATT/Microsoft? Right out of the box this thing is a pain.
Any help?

It sounds like they sold you a phone intended to be a display model for the store. I'd guess that the Live account setup is actually disabled because of this.

Solved!?

Yeah, same conclusion I came to after some surfing... (damnit can't post links yet because of my noob status)
(http - answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-sync/windows-live-account-sync-issues/6a6315a9-0455-4fbe-badf-1c8cc38b69a0)
Here is some more info on what the phone was doing in case someone else encounters this:
Somehow the phone was in "dog food" mode which is some kind of internal MS testing or demo mode. I never saw any kind of getting started wizard when turning on the phone, even after a hard reset (Power On while holding Vol Up/Down) which is what new users are supposed to see.
Instead, after the phone would boot, trying to do anything would result in a "Loading..." screen. After a few miniutes, the phone would automaticallyreboot and have all the ATT software loaded along with a dummy "Me" account ([email protected] or something like that) with fake contacts, messages and email like some kind of demo mode.
Trying to add a new Windows Live account would result in "[email protected]" with "Attention required" below the entry in the account list. Clicking on the corrupted entry would not allow you to change the "[email protected]" address, but you could reenter the password. Entering a password resulted in a Captcha (sp?) verification and password reentry. This always failed though.
Took it back got a new one and I would not let the service people touch it this time (they set it up for me last time). This time, I cracked the seal on the box myself, got the [getting started] wizard option right after boot and everything worked fine right out of the box like it is suppoed to happen.
So... either the phone was fubared, the saleperson messed up the setup (how in the world?) or they gave me a demo model? Like MPerz said, my bet is on the last option. @&#! A whole day wasted.
I hope this helps the next poor bastard this happens to.
FYI, the online ATT tutorial for the HD7S is actually at (http - att.deviceanywhere.com/htchd7s/tutorials). It wasn't accessable through the normal support menus this morning, only via that direct link.
Funny part is... I went to a store instead of ordering it online so I could avoid any problems... Oh the pain!

I would recommend finding a way to submit a complaint to Microsoft regarding this. AT&T's treatment of this platform has been shameful; from being relegated to a back corner ghetto in each store to the snail's pace update roll-outs and now it would seem that their sales reps can't even set the devices up properly. It's especially frustrating in light of CEO De La Vega's comments that if Microsoft wants to sell more units, "I think they just need to make it better." (I can't post links yet, so search for the quote to see it in context.)

See what you have done uptill now is totally fine. If the person was to use the internet to get your password . There's nothing more you can do about it apart from changing your password. I suggest you get one of the following apps from the playstore ( considering you have g-apps on your phone and you are logged into it ) ASAP : Wheres my Droid ? or Prey.
Lost my android.. or Lost droid
If he were to use the internet to access your accounts, then you can make him force download these and track your device. That may help you to track your phone.
You should also consider cancelling your SIM card ( or cancelling your phone service ) asap, or alternatively you can track your phone using your SIM card if you provider assists you with that . You can get all the details about your IMEI etc on your phone purchased box.
All the best in recovering your phone / stopping someone from misusing it ! :good:

I have changed the password of my gmail account so i dont think its possible to use wheres my droid or prey and thanx btw for your reply, relieved me from a lot of worries..

Gmail changed now it'd over phone gone
You could have installed plan B from play store on it
