Windows Live (connection) problems

Hi there,
I noticed Windows Live messenger also connects through gprs (when configured under connections), when a wireless lan connection is available. Internet Explorer works fine, and doesn´t try to connect through gprs when wifi is available and enabled. This sucks big time.
Besides this I wonder if there is already a fix for disabling windows live messenger putting it´s contacts in the phone contact list??
Hope someone can help..
regards,
DM

Windows Live defaults to gprs. Just disconnect gprs, then sign in and when it starts connecting to gprs, hit cancel. As long as you do have wifi connected it will use that.
I think MS had to make it use gprs to keep the networks happy to include it.
The sync issue hasnt been resolved in the latest live - it is an option to merge dupes but it doesnt seem any better

Thank you for replying. This wasn´t the case with WM5 and pocket msn.
Also, why does internet explorer not have this issue? It really sucks. the solution you´re saying, doesn´t work for me. It keeps trying to connect while a wifi connection is working for Internet explorer.

When it did this on mine, I would use connection manager to stop the wifi connection and then start it again, and then, mysteriously, it would stop trying to connect the gprs. Worth a try?

My windows live never successfully connects through 3G/GPRS always times out. Works through wifi no problems, and internet works fine through 3G/GPRS.
Any ideas??
S.K.

Marisa, thanks for your reply. Your suggestion works for me only occasionaly. I´m thinking of removing live messenger completely. Is there a way to do this? I installed it on the clean LVSW ROM of 26 march...

does anyone know how I can uninstall live messenger from wm6? thanks

@dmxl
re-install the OS only that is your best bet to remove the MS Live messenger. that is what i did on my device to get rid the MS Live messenger and i never do that install again.

Question Re: Live Messenger Connection

Ok I have searched in this forum for my problem but no clear cut solution found so far.
I am really hoping that someone could help here.
My windows live messenger will only connect through GPRS/3G.
It will not connect through wifi/wlan no matter what.
I have tried all the different methods of changing connections to "My work network" as well as pressing the cancel bubble when it initiates the connection and nothing really works.
Does anybody know of any solution to this.
If not where can i get the old msn messenger from?
Thanks in advance

I dont think it's strictly true it only connects through 3g/gprs.
When my phone is connected to my PC via ActiveSync on the USB cable I can connect to Windows Live as well...
I do remember someone else reporting problems with WiFi though. Try looking back through older messages in this forum

Phew, at last someone is interested in looking at this.
I have tried signing in when I am connected to my PC and it worked. The connection bubble to GPRS came up and I cancelled right away so it used the PC to connect.
However WIFI is still impossible on my softbank. If anyone else finds an answer please share it with us.

You know, I have the same problem. Live messenger won't connect over wifi. However, my problem doing it is with my Wizard, not Hermes.
One thing I've noticed is that it seems to change depending on what ROM I flash to it. Meaning, I'll install one person's cooked version of WM6, and I can connect WLM without an issue over wifi. But I may try someone else's and that verion won't. So, my thought is that it may be a problem with either a specific build of Windows Live, or a specific build of WM6. Unfortunately I haven't been able to narrow it down to a particular one yet.

Normally if it is connected to WiFi and if you know the WiFi has a good connection to the internet (i.e. no security, timing, aso.), it should connect. If WiFi does not work, it should try the Wireless connection. If u say that is also setup but still doesnot connect, try to connect it to the computer via USB and see if thats working.
I have used schaps 3.30c until a couple of hours ago and it was working with no issues over wifi and wireless... try hard reset then...
sorry i cant help more...

Have you reset your router power off 30sec and on? It may be your ISP, might not be your phone....
I may just be being silly because you say anywhere?

If your connection is password protected, make sure your phone is on the access list of your routers settings [192.168.0.1].

Check if you have the WiFiinit file in the /Windows/Startup folder
That was the problem with my dash, but i fixed it

hmm. ill try doing those.
ill let you know guys.
thanks

hmmm. So i got the Wifi to finally connect, but now none of my browsers work.
Neither Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, or PIE will work.
They just wont connect
Argggg. sometimes this makes me mad...

I have a slightly similour problem ...
But it's password protected my wifi.
How do i grant access to my htc on a linksys router ?
My HTC IP is 192.168.0.1 ?

192.168.0.1 is the URL for your router settings on your computer. Type it on your computer in the address bar of IE. Once you login, it's pretty straight forward.

How do you get to that? I have the same problem and it is not the router (I am on my Laptop) and Live search is not working. I added the data plan on my phone and it is not connecting to anything. I love my Dash and I need help so i can perform CPR on it.

On the Dash you can go Resco File Explorer Windows\StartUp or you can view via on Comp via Active Sync or Mobile device center "depending on os" Just make sure in folder options you have show hidden files Tools\Folder Options\View\Show hidden files and folders.

Well i deleted my WiFi inti file some time ago, what can i do to get it back?

You can nick a copy of mine

Hi, I have the same ROM and for me it is not a problem to update the Weather program. Maybe it is comes in handy to explain your method to of connecting (to PC, WiFi)
For me; I update it all through WiFi with success (Weather, email, QuickGPS). I haven't tried it yet with active sync.

I'm sure he could've guessed that answer. But I doubt thats what he wants, like me he might have a very high fee to connect over GRPS and 3G is not an option as its not a even feature of the P3300.
I also have problems syncing and connecting to the internet via activesync sometimes, the best course of action for me was to disconnect the phone form the PC, kill activesync on the phone and reconnect to the PC, if that doesnt work try a soft reset on the phone and try again.

Mostly the problem occurs when connecting to 2 different PC's.
What works for me ( I usually sync with 2 pc's; Work & @Home) when connecting with active sync not succesfull;
- I back up all my information with PIMbackup [1-2 minutes]
- Remove a partnership (or both) on my Artemis (Backup, because removing a partnership deletes appointments, contacts, call logs, tasks, etc.) [< 1 minute]
- Reconnect through active sync and setup a new partnership, in general is the problem-not-be-able-to-sync solved [3-4 minutes]
I hope this will work for you
Regards
