Windows Live to older MSN Messengers

So, today I have been playing with MSN Messenger Live on the my 8525. However, I have been having issues talking to older MSN Messengers [say around 4.7 or so]. I was testing it chatting to my PC and to my Wifes PC, once I updated both to 7.5 all issues seem to go away [for my PC and my wifes PC].
The odd thing is that Live on the PDA see the users perfectly well, even when their status changes. Also, the issue goes both ways - the older MSN can not sent text nor can the PDA send text to the older MSN. You get a error like: "Unable to Start a conversation with *user*, the following message could not be sent".
Anyone else having this issue?

no but im having other problems. on my 8525 when ever i use the today screen plug in to try to get back in to messenger it opens a new messenger and bugs out on me i have to restart before i can sign back in. get any of that?

@odie3:
I've had that a couple of times, I simply signout and sign in again.
@fb.knight:
Take a look at the other threads, there are more stable cabs (not necessarily newer) floating out there.

Problems with Windows Live Mail

I've been having problems with getting Windows Live Mail to sync all the time (yes, I have selected "sync when items arrive", but next time you look it has changed back to manual!).
I`ve been looking around in the registry and I think I've found where it's stored, could someone who's email is syncing correctly tell me what registry value they have at -
HKLM/Services/Windows Live/Sync/SyncType

Additional to that, does Windows Live have to be running all the time to sync as items arrive?
Thanks
Rob

I`ve wondered that too, I have tried both ways, but neither seem to work.

I'm having the same problem.

Just in case you are wondering, if you click on "As items arrive," and click on "done" and they you head back to it, it will NOT stick to it. That is normal, it does not stick to it.

Synctype = 1
Thanks for posting this question. I too have just started playing around with Windows Mobile Live.
I seem to think that 'as items arrive' does not stick. Also I have had success with WM Live getting messages when it was not running on my PPC so I am guessing it does NOT have to be running which is outstanding. Also I see that it will force a data connection instantiously upon a soft reset of the PPC.
All this tells me that WM Live is dug in deep into the ROM! Now the issue I seem to have with it.
I am betting that WM Live breaks the data connection invisibily. Here is why... It seems to work OK for a bit of time. Then even through the data connection shows connected NO applications on my PPC can access the internet. They all try but no data is ever returned. A soft reset and all is normal. I notice this about once a day and usually overnight.
Now I can't totally blame WM Live for this... I can blame my carrier, the internet in general, sun spots, etc... It is just so many variables to keep a working data connection going.
I changed HTCustom to keep my connection always on, so I'll see if that helps. Well this seemed to help. I did not have WM Live running and sent messages at different times to my WM Live email and got them all suprisingly.... I did not get the attachements pushed but I believe some others have posted that as an issue...

I've given up on it, it just seems to flakey to me.

It worked in black 2.0, but not in any of the latest roms (black 2.5, 3.0, LVSW, etc)
Anyone know what might have changed?

Live messenger contact login sounds?

Long time daily viewer first time poster!
Question is; The new live messenger does not seem to have any sounds for contacts logging in, now i remember on my t-mobile wizard there was a registry hack which i think was a cab file that added the option in sound settings to change the login and type sounds pocket msn wm5....
However now using a Hermes running wm6 im wondering if the same thing maybe applicable using live messenger, is this not possible with the way the new messenger works. It would be nice to know when a new contact comes online, if your waiting for someone..
Not much about this anywhere but not much demand i guess? seems strange though to remove it.
I have not found the cab file i originally used to see if any registry keys may setup sounds but i guess live messenger is very different to pocket msn.

reg hack attached
wlm doesn't look or use this anymore
appears in sounds n notifications, but doesn't get activated or used.
yes I wud like the feature also.
I previously posted but got zero response...

Phone keeps hanging with 'Messaging' menu appearing

Hi All,
I'm a long time lurker and first poster - just want to say initially thanks for all the helpful hints, tips, software etc I've picked up from the forum.
However, I've recently got a problem that I can't seem to crack and wondered if anyone has any ideas. I've tried searching but to no avail.
Randomly (and often when browsing) 'Messaging' appears on the top bar (with 'Delete' and 'Menu' on the softkey bar (as if it had suddenly shifted to an email page) but the main portion of the screen remains frozen with whatever was going on before (i.e. the webpage, today screen or whatever). It'll happen a few times then Opera crashes, but it also happens with the phone on standby (not sure if Opera was still running).
If I hit 'Menu' then 'Reply' it comes up with the latest message from my Hotmail account. I'm running Windows Live as a push account I think it may be that triggering it when it starts to sync. Perhaps some sort of problem with Opera and Windows Live when they're both running?
I've not got any serious mods installed and didn't have this problem until recently. I've got the latest versions of Opera, Windows Live and have recently reflashed the ROM in case that was the problem but no such luck.
I'm going to disable the push email and see if it still happens then try uninstalling things to see if that stops it but any suggestions gratefully received if you've had a similar problem and have managed to solve it.
Brief spec:
WinMo 6.5 (latest official HTC ROM)
UK O2 network
Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2u (Ninja Duck enhanced, but it happened with the Opera official version too)
1% Battery mod
FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly battery icon mod
sdkcerts for above
SmartPhone tracker (disabled - going to uninstall to check)

ive got the same issue with my stock att branded tilt2
hope someone knows whats causing this...

I'm now thinking it may be a memory shortage issue - last time it did it I checked on task manager and it said memory usage was 95%
It's only about 59% when I reboot so I can only assume that Opera or something is using an inordinate amount of system memory. No idea if that's it, though

HTC Imagio Too
Same problem with my HTC Imagio. Messaging just pops up randomly and for no reason. I believe, too, that it has something to do with the Hotmail push email, but it has not always done this, which is the real mystery.

I'm having the same thing happen. But when I hit the reply button, it just brings up a blank email with my address in the From line. I haven't noticed any increase in RAM though. To me, it's nothing more than a nuisance.

Same here, tmobile stock rom wm6.5.
But when I touch the center area the message tool bar goes away and I resumewhatever I was doing just fine, so I normally ignore this.
May have something to do with checking email. I don't have push (push for gmail still not good IMHO), but the phone is checking my two gmail accounts every 15 minutes.

I have this problem too, and can't stand it. Have push Hotmail via Windows Live, Sync "as items arrive" from 7am to 11pm.
I've also downloaded the HTC hotfix for SMS freezing (in case this is related somehow).
I searched for it and can't believe this hasn't been solved yet.

Same here.

I have had this problem since day one, about 5 months ago on my Tilt2. Grrr.

Same issue here.
I also have this issue.
I have observed this occur with 65% memory usage.
I can also confirm this occurs with POP3 email. I have 2 POP3 accounts and no push accounts.
It does not seem connection related, happens when connected via EDGE, 3G, & Wifi.
I am running an NRG wm6.5 ROM.

same problem here. was hoping to find a fix on here.

Same here, Verizon TP2 when I hit the messaging image, it just goes away. Using stock WinMo 6.5 rom with about 8 apps from OpenMkt. Device is pretty stable and other than above and very slow opening mail sometimes.

everyone has thais problem and no replies :-( I also have this problem

my phone freezes a lot when opening a new txt. I downloaded the hotfix sms fix from htc and when i go to install it it just says the hotfix is not compatible

I have a problem with mine regarding opening TXT messages in windows messaging app, not in the HTC txt app. When I close it, it just freezes then I have to hit the side button to reset....Anyone have a fix for this? Im running TMOUS windows 6.5

Same problem here. Although mine happens on both emails (pop and windows live) and text. Whenever I close any of them the messaging will pop up 5-30 seconds later.
Hopefully if we get enough people with the same problem someone will eventually find a solution!
EDIT: I'm running stock Verizon ROM with a couple minor mods (nothing that screws with messaging, other than the disable SMS sent popup)

Me 2
I too have the same issue with stock tmo 6.5 rom. I never noticed it with energy roms. I wonder if maybe he knows what could be causing this issue? Just an idea.

facbook link issue

Like most people, several of my contacts have been linked to my Facebook Friends. Then if I use PIM backup or My Phone after a flash and restore my contacts, the Facebook "link" is there, but it doesn't update the picture (the picture reverts back to whatever it was before the facebook link) and it doesn't update the status' or birthday's. I have even removed all the link's, and started over, but that doesn't work. I've tried everything i can think of, but can't figure this out... has anyone else run into this and have a working fix?

Yea, seems like this is a problem all over. When I try to link a contact to a facebook profile the list of profiles I am given to select from bears no relation to my actual list of friends. Most of my friends are on there but not all, some have pics & some don't, I have old FB contacts who I have since deleted & even have 1 guy I have never heard of & has never been on my friends list.
There is a hotfix on the htc website but tried to install it & it comes up with "this hotfix is not compatible with your device"
I've been trawling to try & find a fix but there doesn't seem to be one & very little mention of the TP2.
Anyone else have some input??

Smells like a ROM issue. Did you try with the official or a different cooked one?

Hi Jackos,
still on the original winmo 6.1 as I've got loads of software & really don't fancy having to reload everything.
Looking around it seems I'm not the only one with this kind of issue.

It gets worse.
This morning I tried again, logged out of facebook via my contact card & then went to log back in. I now get "connection failed" each time I try to connect.
FB is working fine on the app & via opera etc & I've got no probs with email etc so it's not data connection or signal.
This is def confined to HTC integration of FB bugt I can't use the hotfix they have posted because it claims it is not suitable for my device!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
