MSN online all the time? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a Nokia Lumia 900.
Does anyone know how to keep MSN online all the time?
Most of the times, when I go into "messaging" it says connecting and it does after a couple of seconds. I thought it should be connected all the time.
It seems it disconnects when I go back to my start up page or when the phone goes into stand by mode.
I searched, thoroughly, into settings... can't seem to find an option.
Thank you for any help.

you can either
1. use ur 3G
2. connect to ur charger/computer
to keep the internet connection going (or else it wouldnt be connected with ur wifi if u switch the phone off)
3. Download the app spotify, go into login screen. And just press windows key to keep using it. When u turn off the phone, the connection stays on.
This is a glitch/bug in the system and is not suppose to work like that.

Thank you for the fast reply.
My 3G is always on. However, the coverage isn't always good.
I downloaded spotify. Doesn't seem to work
Thank you anyway.

I had the same problem and found the answer. Go to Settings>connections>WLAN settings>Power mode in power mode change the power save mode to Best performance instead of Auto. Once this is done it should work.
Stupid that it comes configured not to work out of the box. I was getting ready to return mine before I found the solution online. Hope it works for you.
thx man, i tried tht but still wont work, i tried keeping the bluetooth on as well... nuthing...
hey i'm kinda having the same problem..
i've read over almost all the threads on the board but just wanted to confirm..I have to setup manually a GPRS network in order for DATA via GSM to work? I'm in Canada and data here is insanely expensive so I only want to use Wifi. Just trying to make sure that it won't connect without me knowing it.
Also when the right LED at the top blinks green, meaning its connected to the network. Does that mean its connected for regular voice, or connected for Data?
Thanks guys. New but I hope to catch up fast with my new toy.

What you have to do is go to comm manager and press 6. Let me know if work. Good luck!!!
Hi,
I have the same issue, and Comm Manager the option 6 is grayed out and not available. Is that because I need the admin rights ??
settings-connections-menu-advanced.
the for internet choose whatever wifi access point that is saved in there.
Does anyone have the solution for this problem. I also have the problem that my s710 connects with my wifi-internet, but the internet itself cannot be used. I get the error "cannot connect the internet".
I have had internetconnection yesterday, the day that i bought the phone. But now, it doesn't work anymore.
thanks guys, it worked for me like a charme!!!

WiFi doesn't connect to preferred network without poking it!

My Touch Cruise has started to develop a strange tic. I'm using Bepe's 0.67 WWE ROM, and 1.64.08.21 Radio, and things worked fine for a long while.
Recently, my phone has stopped automatically connecting to WiFi when I switch it on. I get the notification telling me about networks it's found (not including my preferred network, generally), whether I switch that off in the settings or not, and no matter how many times I select "Do Not Show This Message Again". If I go to the WiFi settings, I can then select my preferred network and press Connect and it will connect (even if it claims it's unavailable!)
It's a pain, but it's not game breaking - I just need to manually connect to WiFi every time I switch on the phone at home. So, anyone have any ideas why my phone might suddenly be behaving like this, and how I can get it to automatically connect again like it used to? Thanks...
i have the same problem and no answer.
i think it's something with bepe's rom...
oh wait,
for a while i tested wefi and i think the
problem began after uninstalling wefi!
This happens to me occasionally on the standard dutch ROM too, not al the time though.

3g keeps turning on

I hope someone can help me with this. if i turn off data connection in comm manager it automaticly turns back on. i tried to stop the weather program and e-mail sync. but that does not seem to work either .
there must be something i am doing wrong . i always thought that the comm manager was a sort of master switch just as it works with wifi or flightmode. which does not turn on automaticly.
battery life is taking a big hit from 3g always on and not to mention data cost when traveling.
Thanks,
Rob
There was another tip provided on Diamond forum how to switch off 3G transfer and it works for TP also.
I'm wondering because on my TP I have 3G icon or E or G but it doesn't mean that I'm transfering any data and depleting my battery right ?
It's just information that 3G is available from provider right ?
B.
I've found this solution on ... Polish Diamond forum
You need to use nodata soft

Just install and untick connection you want to disable.

thank you, will try it out!

HTC WiFi Router - Frequent disconnects.. Why?

I am using HTC WiFi Router to get internet on my PC. I have a D-Link USB WiFi device on my PC end. First, this app works great .. when it works , which is often to say the least. The problem, WF Router disconnects often. I'll be browsing some forums, speedy connection and all.. then suddenly I click a valid page link and it's not doing anything at all. I look on the phone and it shows "Connecting " with the spinning circle... it'll sit there and will not re-connect. I have to manually "stop" the connection, then manually press "Start" to get it to work again. a few minutes later... it has disconnected yet again. Sometimes I can go a few hours before this happens. Sometimes (like the very last time) it wont disconnect when I hit Stop . It'll sit there saying " Stopping" .. I waited 2 minutes before I finally used FDC Task Man to end the process.. then I restarted it to connect again (which worked). On the PC end, it'll continue to show "Signal Strength Very Good @ 11Mbps" so it has to be on the phones end. There is nothing else running on the phone that would interfere with Wifi. Just messaging and Contacts. Same ol.. and no, I am not getting messages. It's usually late at night.
One other question related to the D-Link USB WiFi adaptor. This is one of those that looks like a keychain usb thumb drive. I have no idea on how to turn this thing off. There is no option in the D-link config, it just goes to Network adaptor properties/config. I used to just unplug it, but the very last time I unplugged it, my computer just up and totally restarted itself... yep right from the boot screen. When it finally booted back up, XP gave me a message about "Windows has recovered from a fatal error" .So, I'm not doing that again.
I beleive its a hidden setting in windows mobile, that disconnects the wifi to save the battery. thats what im thinkin. My HTC Tilt 2 does the same thing. it dont turn the wifi off, it just disconnects from the router. Hopefully there is a .cab fix for it, like the message sent notice it shows that i found
link to fix i found that works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7260614
Yes, I think it's a "feature" of Windows Mobile.
Try setting Power Mode to Best Performance so it won't manage the power settings and kill WiFi:
Open Start > Settings > Connections > WiFi > Advanced > Power Mode
Drag the slider to the "Best Performance"
Hit OK to close the settings
Possible fix

I have a Verizon Touchpro 2 and i have found that mine 2 has been cutting off. So I searched for a answer I found that I had to change power setting. To get to this menu click on START->SETTINGS->SYSTEM->POWER
Then when the menu comes up click on backlight
unclick or change
TURN OFF DEVICE IF NOT USED UNDER FOR.....
OR CHANGE TO HIGHER TIME.
NOTE THAT THIS WILL EAT UP YOUR BATTERY SO I RECOMMEND ONLY UNCLICKINGING THE BOX THAT SAYS ON EXTERNAL POWER USE.....NOT ON BATTERY POWER.
HOPE THIS WORKS!!!!

[Q] GizRoot_v_2:: Two issues Can Fix?

Hello, I applied this ROM yesterday I don't have enough posts to put the question in the original thread where I downloaded the ROM but I am
and am very happy with the results but there are two issues. One is that I no longer get the “weather sound” when the clock/weather widget is doing a full screen animation.
No huge deal but I kind of liked that.
The other thing, which is a big deal to me, is that the wireless will not connect automatically, either to open wifi that is remembered, or at home where I have WPA security. It also does not notify me of open networks, even though I have that option checked. Another thing (and this goes back to the OEM ROM as well) is that there are three “AT&T Wifi Hotspot” listings and I cannot “forget “ them.
I connect to one of these at Starbucks but do not know why there are three of them. I also do not use AT&T I use a pre-paid T-Mobile with no date plan so that is why the auto connect to Wifi is so important.
Can anyone offer any advice? I am a total newb but I think I did the “full wipe” correctly, I ran a file called FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
However, I noticed that after the wipe/ROM flash I still had my remembered wireless networks on the phone, as well as the name of the phone for Bluetooth, which I had changed. So it did retain some info even though it make me do the whole setup routine again once I had flashed this ROM.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I do like Sense but wanted some of the stuff I can do with root, but it is very important for me to be able to auto connect to remembered wifi networks as I don't have a data plan. I really don't want go go back to the unrooted version that is posted on the HTC page.
OK stupid a** me I found the toggle for weather sound so now the only issue is the connection to WiFi if anyone can help out. I have tried toggling WiFi on and off, forgetting and then re-connecting to my home WiFi, a restart and an off/on start, but once I am disconnected from a known Wifi it will not reconnect on it's own I have to go into menu/wireless/networks and then it will do a scan and connect automatically, but with the stock rom it always connected automatically, to remembered networks once I was in range, even if the phone was in sleep mode.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks. Thread moved.
