Hi all,
I am having trouble signing into Windows Live Messenger on my XDA Serra (HTC Touch Pro).
It only happens with my main Windows Live account - when I sign in with my old account Messenger works fine.
The message I get is:
There is a problem with the server. Please try again later.
I have contacted Microsoft and they have "escalated" the problem within their tech support department but ultimately they have not been any use. In the last e-mail I got from them they suggested contacting my carrier. I had already contacted o2 and they said they cannot help in this issue. I am pretty convinced it is a problem relating to my Windows Live account. Hard Reset of the device has not helped.
Please if anyone can help or has had similar experiences post here!
Thanks,
Matt
Bump...
Went to all the trouble of creating a new account, it worked for a couple of days and now it's failing again.
Please help! :-(

I'd never seen this problem until a few days ago. My connection and internet access are still rock-solid, but suddenly I haven't been able to sign into messenger. I re-flashed the custom ROM I've been using, but that didn't fix it. I suspect either AT&T is trying to force me to use their proprietary IM client (presumably so they can charge me for text messaging) or it is indeed something wrong with my Live account.
Please help me too!
Help me too!! That makes three of us. Im using MSN over EDGE/GPRS and it won't sign in for me too. I keep getting requests of contacts that have added me..and when I click on allow, it says "There was a problem with the server". Sometimes, it just wont sign in at all, come what may.
Wow, I'm quite relieved that it's not just me!
Have you guys tried signing in over Wi-Fi? It doesnt matter what connection I use, I can never sign in.
Have you guys updated your MSN client PC side to the new 2009 version? Apparently (after I started having hassle with my Touch Diamond today) as soon as you sign in to MSN PC side on the new 2009 client with multi-sign in it renders your account buggered and in turn WinMo won't sign in no matter what you hard-reset or install.
Try an old account that has never signed in to 2009 version and your fine.

Yep this is the conclusion I have come to.
Sadly, Microsoft customer services really don't want to know. I have been in email discussion for over a month, and they are truly useless.
I guess we're at the development team's mercy, if they know or even care about this problem.
It can't be that difficult to sort out for them. Other third party apps (e.g. IM+) are logging in fine and you then get the usual "you have been signed out" message on the PC. So for now I'm going to use a chain of trial versions in the hope that MS sort this out in the next month seeing as 2009 went official this week.
And don't get me started on the new version of the PC client. What primary school children did they let loose on the design?!

try Palringo
I know this doesn't help but I'm also suffering the same problem and also fixed with a new Live ID not that it's the answer! Been playing with a lot of Live services so wasn't sure if Messenger was the cause...
I changed the messenger version and problem solved!
Do a SEARCH on this great site to find another version
Good luck,

A hint on the working version would be good if you could?
Cheers

I´m using this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323847&highlight=live+messenger
Hope it helps,
Well, still no news from Microsoft regarding this issue. It has been 11 days since I last received an email stating that resolving the problem was their "top-most priority" although they could not provide a timeframe for resolution.
I've emailed them again to ask if there is any news but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed.
It's pretty disgraceful how the functionality of our devices can be reduced in this way through a problem with the server. I hope it's fixed soon.

Microsoft really needs to get more people working on Windows Mobile products. Out of nowhere, all of their mobile products (Live Mail, Live Messenger, Live Contacts, Sideshow) failed to work since the beginning of January and there is no support what so ever.
So it's been about 4 months now since I was last able to use Windows Live Messenger on my Windows Mobile device.
This is so far beyond a joke that it's become funny and then lost all funnyness again.
I am tired of using Palringo, though I do appreciate their free service.
Has anybody managed to get any information about a possible fix? I've read elsewhere that Microsoft have suggested to some people that they just create a new Windows Live ID. This is quite franky a ridiculous suggestion, as I am sure many people are quite attached to their e-mail address. Personally it would be a huge inconvenience for me to have to change my address.
The problem seems to be with the live mail address book. I managed to get it working by exporting my contacts, deleting them, and importing them again. Has been working fine now for several weeks. More info here:

I have deleted all my contacts but I am still getting "Problem with the server".
Is there anything else I can do?
I thought I should wrap this up... a few months ago it just magically started working again.
While I'm happy it is working, I'm still left concerned that the functionality of my device is purely at the mercy of Microsoft, and I am utterly helpless to do anything about it or even find out what's happening.
Uncheck the synch contacts option when installing is the solution..........in step 4 in ver 10.6.***
If anyone has already asked about any of these questions i apologize in advance, i have however been trying to find an answer to this problem for a week now. I'm not sure if anyone else has been having these problems but i've searched everywhere and couldn't find an answer. I have a g1 with cyanogen 4.1.999 and the newest recovery just in case that helps.
I have apps to SD so all of my market downloads were saved there, however i had to remove the partition and make a new one and all the apps were deleted, but on the market download list they still all show up and it won't let me uninstall or open the apps, which leaves me without the apps that i always use everyday.
I was thinking a factory reset might work, but i don't have the data plan either, and the way to get around the sign in screen with adb i've tried before with no success.
I've tried signing in with another account name but the download list is cleared but when i search for the apps they still are shown as installed.
When i go to the manage applications in settings i find all the files for the old supposed "deleted" apps, as in "com.bgh.goalkicker" but when i selet any of them it says "application not found" i have no idea how to delete these files!
I was thinking maybe that if i did a factory resent and then flashed a hero rom, since the set up screen lets you set up your wifi before signing into your google account, maybe that could work and i could still sign in with no data plan?
Anyone, please help it would be VERY appreciated, and if this has already been answered somewhere else and i haven't found it, i apologize greatly!
No data plan?
Why would you buy such a nice, expensive smartphone, go through the trouble of putting cyanogenmod on it, and NOT have a data plan?
i use this program for all my finacial needs and other things like tracking ebay and netflix account as well as credit card balances. i downloaded it through windows marketplace. it worked great on the original htc pur rom . but it ran once fine on energys mar 17 rom and now does not show anything else besides the main screen and the loading screen. i do not understand why it does not give me the accounts details. anyone else try this app?
yea and im getting the same issue ;-(
Did you ever find a fix for this app or are you having the same problem still because I am having the same problem now
well I have the same problem. I contacted pageonce assistant and the tech support guy told me to access the account from the computer. Some people just don't get the point
Before everyone sets there tablets on fire and goes postal on the ROM developers maybe take a look here. Seems lots of people are having Market problems and Google needs to fix it...

Thanks.....finally a voice of reason.
I figured it was a Google issue when my fiancé's Eris started having the same problem. Good to see someone posted this.
Errors
I have been getting errors lately when I open Market. Unable to connect to server error, I retry a couple times and it connects. I guess this is all part of the same problem Google is having?

I believe it is. Let's just hope they get things corrected soon (if they haven't already).
Market
Hi, I was having the same error today and now I just have a broken market with couple of apps available. How does it look on your tablets? Thanks.
Peter
Is this the same as not being able to find applications? I'm missing a ton of apps I'm able to see on my Samsung Epic, moreover, I don't seem to be able to receive updates for applications. I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1 with the GoogleApps patch on their site as per the HowTo on the Cyanogen wiki.
Ideas?
Correct, I cannot find my apps, I was just looking for logmein ignition, and today morning it was there and now it's gone.
Hey guys,
i and probably other seem to have this problem...
i flashed a new rom and everything else is working fine.. i synced my google contacts with my facebook contacts and they all have a nice picture in the contacts categorie as it should be.. also if i receive a sms or somebody calls me it shows the picture
but when i go into wahtsapp it shows only the green android symbol..
a few wich have a picture directly in my google account are shown, but not the majortiy with the fb pics
anybody an idea how i could manage for it to show the fb pics also
waht i find funny is, that a before i flashed to sense 3.5 it all worked like it is supossed to
best regards,
Hey, it may be so that with flashing the new rom your facebook contacts(and their respective pictures) are suddenly not accessible by third party apps. You can try the Photo Unlocker app made by ChainsDD. The app is legit and just requires a rooted phone.
Good luck and let me know if you find a fix as i had the same issue. Happily enjoying MIUI now tough
Kind Regards.
seems like a solid idea.. you mind sharing a download link?.. seems thats its not on the market anymore =(
Well that's strange, i guess it was actual doing its job then. Unable to find any legal free versions after a quick browse, can't help you anymore then unfortunately.
Anybody perhaps with an different idea?
Did you not get my private message?
ups.. didnt saw it.. but it worked great big thx to you
funny part.. i asked chainsDD yesterday on twitter why he took it down from the market and he responded:
"because it's broken... and I haven't had the time to fix it... :-(" .. seems that he was wrong
