[Q] Windows Live Password Is Incorrect Error - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A couple hours ago I noticed twitter and windows live were not syncing. I attempted to resync and they still wouldn't. I tapped on the Windows Live account (main one) and it got error 86000206. I looked it up and found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464629#86000206 It mentioned to change the server from m.hotmail.com to m.outlook.com so I did that and now not only does it not sync but it also doesn't accept my password anymore. Reboots do nothing. I think I need to get in and change that server back but no idea how. I'd rather not have to reload my phone unless absolutely necessary. Any ideas?

THIS IS EXACTLY what happened to me! DO NOT CHANGE TO m.outlook.com! DO NOT DO IT! I am in a process of restore and updating the phone!

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm going to have to do the same thing. I'm getting everything in place now to do so. Hopefully I can pull off a miracle at the last second.

the thing that pisses me of is - it has been an outage, I noticed that my chat isnt working, and tada - not up-to-date on Windows Live & Twitter. I need to learn to wait and not trying fix the things up right that second...well...I ended in the same situation like you

Yeah. I figured when I saw no mentions of it on twitter it must be just me. If I were more patient like you said I wouldn't have this issue. I'm not a happy person. It's stupid that you can't go in and modify that server name if you change it but you can if it's correct.

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.

[Q] youtube app problem

seemed to have screwed up youtube on my android phone as it will no longer play any videos. in accounts and sync in options there was always one listed that had my username(at)youtube.com and i never thought much of it. started having trouble with it the other day and deleted it. whenever i open the youtube app now it asks me to sign in. i do using the same username i have when i log onto youtube's regular website and nothing works. just says that it is invalid. i'm at my wits end with this. any help would be appreciated
I don't know of any easy solution but you can always fall back on a hard reset/factory default. It's often quicker doing this than spending ages trying to repair one arcane problem.
i have thought of that but i'll be really pissed if i do that and the problem still exists which i have a feeling might happen. prob gonna end up doing that if no one else has any suggestions. thank you though

[Q] Live Mail Sync Error 800C0069

Is anyone else getting problems with synching email on the WP7 device at the moment. I get the above error code on my HD7, and it can't receive or send email for my main live account. When I go into the email tile, no emails are displayed at all. It was working fine yesterday, but today it's gone completely. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
I've tried the suggestions found on some of the MSDN forums etc... such as changing your region language, unchecking the sync email option, but nothing works. The only other suggestion I've found is to hard-reset the phone, but that's something that I REALLY don't want to do, and don't think I should have to do either!
Any ideas out there. This is the first time that WP7 has really let me down, I think it's a great OS with masses of promise, but something like this could be a total deal breaker. What's more, MS don't seem to be taking it at all seriously, even though it seems the problem is quite widespread.
I'm facing this problem sometimes using Wi-Fi, but never happened when using cellular 3G. You dont need to hard reset device, just check when you have better connection.
Not connected to good or bad signal - get the problem no matter whether on wifi, or with full HSDPA signal.
Eventually managed to get it sorted - by changing the sytem locale, rather than display language, it seems to have started synching again, let's hope it doesn't go tits up again!

[Q] Windows Live Services down?

Hey mates,
I currently can't login to my Windows Live account. No matter if I try and use the messenger on my phone or my PC, or if I try and download something from the marketplace. It always keeps telling me error code 80048823. Does anybody else have the same issues or is there something wrong with my account all of a sudden?
I did some research, but all I found out was that it seems I have tried to login too often using the wrong credentials. Which of course is wrong. So I followed the advice given by some Windows Live FAQ and changed my password. To no avail. -.-
I'm currently able to log into Hotmail - so it doesn't seem down to me...

Thank you, Casey. I just tried my wife's account which works as well. I have no idea what happened. I'm advised to reset my password, which I did. Three times now actually. I still can't log in. There doesn't even seem to be a way to contact some sort of support. Darn. -.-

Don't worry - sometimes some accounts are locked for updating or for maintenance. You can't do anything but waiting. I have had similar problems with my skydrive a few days ago .... After a couple of hours, everything was perfectly fine.

I hope so. I can't use any Live service at all. No skydrive, no Messenger, no nothing. A couple of minutes ago I tried logging in to www.live.com. After submitting my credentials I was told that my account was locked down due to violations of their terms of services. I didn't do anything that could have caused that. But at least there was an option of contacting their support, which I did. I hope they'll get back to me soon as my phone is half useless now. -.-

Windows Live error 8600050C

Hi,
Is anyone having problems syncing their Windows Live primary account on WP7?
Every time I try I get a Windows Live error message along with the error code: 8600050C
I can sync emails on my PC's Windows Live Mail application, but not on my phone
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
I'm expiriancing the same errot today on my Windows phone, when trying to check for new messages.
Mine now appears to be working..
I turned off WiFi and tried Data connection(which I tried earlier today but didn't work, might of been because my connection was weak), then it started syncing, so I turned it off, reset my router and tried again from WiFi and it now works.
This is just a pain in the royal @#@! Every once in a while this happens and it's starting to get on my last nerve. Why does this happen? Like just now I can't get on Facebook and no error code it just keeps saying that it needs my attention, WTF?

Oh this is just great; now I'm getting a Oops! we're having a problem that we can't solve at the moment. try again later, what the ???
Happened out of the blue last night when i was using facebook.
It popped up about incorrect password and Live ID need attention.
I went to setting > email account and checked the password. It wouldn't accept the correct password (I was able to log in just fine on PC with that account)
This morning facebook says it's not up to date and gives error 80072F7D
I see this problem everywhere. Seems like a lot of people is having it. Dunno what's happening to MS
Same problem started today also for me
I'm hoping this is a Facebook error and not a Windows Phone error!
I've read that hard resets don't solve this. This is leading me to believe Facebook made some changes and didn't consider Windows Phone connecting.

Actually I just heard over at Windows Phone Central that it's a big problem and just about everyone is going through the same BS. Everyone is venting Here.
any news yet??? my live id account still say attention required
I've entered the correct password. It says synchronizing and attention required again.
It's very unlikely that password is incorrect. I tried entering an incorrect password and it immediately said password incorrect without synchronize (not being back to the account list saying attention required)
Everything works fine for me, Facebook started working again 11 am
yeah, facebook worked for me too, but i still can't get Live ID to work. It's strange that I still can download app from Market Place and open Xbox just fine. But email + accounts says it needs attention!?

I had those same issues before; the only way i was able to make Windows Live and my email start working again was to delete them from my phone and reinstall them.
