Hi guys,
Normally, I rely on WiFi networks to browse the internet on my devices.
Ever since I got my Touch PRO, been using alot of data connection (You Tube and the browsing is just very good)
Problem is, Live messenger doesn't seem to connect via data connection.
I have to be connected via WiFi..
Any workaround for that or has it been like that all this time?
Mine works on data connection

Ahuh, so I guess it's just the coverage then
Thanks for sharing
I don't have 3G fyi. but it works fine on 2G.
I seem to be having the same problem too recently - even when I have full coverage.
data connection and internet works fine, but I still can't manage to connect to live messenger.
I am in the UK and on three by the way.
Ahuh, so I guess it might be temporary
Some networks, T-Mobile for example, will block the ports required for IM on some packages. If you've only ever had it working via WIFI you should check this isn't your problem.

I guess there is some proxy setting that may solve your issue:

funny how i can't connect via wifi and u can't connect via ur network.. fun times!
I had a similar problem before, I connected once using WiFi and the next time I tried to connect using HSDPA it just won't recognize it. I fixed the problem by syncronizing using "Windows Live" while using HSDPA. Then Messenger worked.
But I have to say messenger has been acting weird lately, even on a PC. I think it has something to do with their servers.
In my house there is bad 3G coverage. Phone keeps flopping between G and 3G. Very annoying because MSN won't make use of my WiFi connection. Opera does seem to do that though.
fring has ability to work with msn, but I hate fring ...have you tried mChat? it's good alternative, msn is in beta testing, but it works for me..
I got the phone in December and I haven't had a problem. I use the standard Xfinity router and all my other wireless devices are unaffected. All of a sudden the Facebook and YouTube apps will not work properly. I can navigate to these sites on Chrome no problem. Watching a video on YouTube or loading my news feed via the apps just doesn't work. If I turn Wi-Fi off the apps work fine, it's just over WiFi. Also I have uninstalled the updates to these apps and it did nothing.
I have been noticing a lot of Wi-Fi disconnects while using my tablet and my phone. I keep getting disconnects and overall slower performance even though my internet is 30-D 5-U and i get better results then that with speed test on my computer but my phone speed test is about 12 down and 6 up when connected to Wi-Fi
My problem is this...
I can try to watch youtube through the youtube app and pick a crappy non HD video thats like 30 seconds long and spend 5 minutes waiting for THE AD to load... i Tried using the chrome browser and i get mildly better results... the video actually loads but buffers for 1 to 2 minutes for every 3 seconds of video i am shown.
So i tried to fix this by setting my router channel to 11 seeing as there are about 15 networks in range of me and i started getting better results.
then i had an issues with my computer getting ip conflicts if i turned it on while my phone was on the network since my PC was set to a static IP so i had to set my tablet and phone to a static aswel.
So.. after i did that i stopped getting the conflicts but now when i am playing Clash of Clans i keep getting disconnected... often... im licky if i can keep the game going long enough to do 1 attack without getting disco. (thats about 3 minutes if you never played the game)
so i dont know how to fix these disco's.. i am still getting slow overall performance from sites like youtube and even general internet searches at times. it seems like my router is refreshing or something and forcing my Wi-Fi connections to reconnect. If i have my tablet and my phone next to each other they do NOT lose connection at the same time but randomly. this issues makes no sense to me... i have no other ideas.
And before you suggest the "obvious" ive probably already tried it.
Router Linksys wrt160n
Tablet Asus eeepad TF201
Samsung Note 3 (t mobile)
Fresh install of windows (7 days old and problem was present before reset)
all drivers and firmware up to date
phone tablet and pc are all on static IP
NOTHING else is connected to my network or using my internet except my phone and tablet
i have no viruses / malware
my signal strength is EXCELLENT when i get disco and does not diminish during the disco
bump cause i m still having this issue... seems worse then before even. and its only mobile devices on my network or jst wifi connected devices.
what can i do to fix this
Hi All?
Is anyone having any problems with their WiFi on their Pixel?
Doesn’t matter what app im using (Facebook WhatsApp ect) the WiFi doesn’t seem to work correctly. It is connected constantly so its not dropping out, however videos on Facebook just won’t play, or play and buffer for ages.
It seems intermittent though, sometime it will work fine, but this is about 1 in 10,
If I turn off WiFi and connect to 4g it works fine instantly.
I’m on Pure Nexus, but this problem existed before hand on stock.
I have upgraded modem,
I have checked the channels on the router,
I have disabled 2.4 ghz and done 5Ghz only and the problem is still there.
I’m on Virgin media, 300mb which works perfectly fine via cable and laptop via wifi.
Any ideas?
Background: I had some trouble setting up my chromecast because we canceled our wifi service; we do have a wifi router, and the chromecast refused to be setup without internet. I finally got it set up on my hotspot, I had to use another old phone with the Google Home app while connected to my Note 8 hotspot. The Chromecast is now setup, connected to my hotspot, but I can't cast anything from Youtube, Allcast, etc from my Note 8 over its own Wifi Hotspot.
I have an apple tv that won't do this either. I really want to use the Chromecast to watch movies and streaming content from my phone (via Allcast or something similar).
Does anyone have any ideas, or real world solutions for using the Chromecast with the Note 8 WiFi hotspot?
I tried this once when my internet service went out while I was watching a hockey game. I never could get it to work either. I tried everything I could think of. I tried using another phone as well. I'm guessing it's not possible to stream to Chromecast from the same device that the internet signal originates. Seems like you could stream to it from the other phone, though.
But the real question would is... You realize even if you could get it to work, it's gonna eat through your mobile data ridiculously fast, right?
Good luck. If you get it working, I'd love to see what you did.
Yeah, I get that it will eat it up pretty fast. I have 10GB included with my phone, same with the wife's phone. I just hate not being able to do something that should be a thing. I guess I can use the other phone to cast through the wifi hotspot from the Note 8.
I wish there were a way to do USB tethering to my router... that would just be too easy...
