Hi, i've just installed Agile Messenger on my MDA (WM5), and it doesnt connect, just comes up with a error saying "All connections failed"... i'm connected to GPRS, and internet explorer works.
Anyone else had problems, or has anyone got it to work?
Have just heard back from Agile Support, apparently its because i have T-Mobile Web'n'Walk... have to get on to T-Mobile now

Hi,
picked up a shiny new MDA III yesterday afternoon having switched providers - number transfer in progress - so I'm new to both the handset and the provider.
Managed to get the unit hooked up to my home WiFi network pertty simply etc and got the Active Sync sorted etc.... other than the fact the GRPS isn't configured out of the box, I've got a single major bugbear to sort.
That is that I don't seem to be able to get MSN Messenger to connect.
It's exhibiting exactly the same symptoms suggested here.... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;832515
... but obviously the refers to a previous OS version ?
So, either I have something to fix or unlock in the set-up, the port is blocked on the handset (works fine on my laptop on the same WiFi through the same firewall) ?
Had a search through the forums, but to no avail. Can anyone help me on this ?
Are there any recommended patches/fixes I should have installed straight from the off ?
Thanks in advance !
Matt
OK, just so you you don't think I'm totally clueless, from what I've just been reading in the T-Mobile online manual, I have to have the GPRS connection open to connect to Messenger.
Is this right ? Surely if I have a active WiFi connection is should be able to connect using that, right ? Will it connect via GPRS and then pass it over to WiFi ?
I'll have to check it when I get home to see if I can resolve it in that way.
Any other tips gratefully received !

I'm using Messenger with a CSD (GSM) connection because it's part of my allowance. Sorry but I haven't tried WiFi yet.
I'm having the same problem.
MSN Messenger works fine using GPRS but fails to login using my Wifi connection.
What's even weirder is that it works ok when docked (ActiveSync)!!!
I'm using MDA III on T-Mobile (UK)
Anyone got any ideas?
I've tried replicating this issue, but on my XDA IIs over WiFi, it connects to messenger no problem... it doesn't even try to initiate a GPRS connection first. I can only assume that the MDA III is configured slightly differently out of the box.
As a thought, you might want to double-check Connection Manager and see which type of connection is set for programs that automatically connect to the internet
Ok, home and finished doing the set-up.
I've found no way of using MSN by any other protocol than GPRS. If you are WiFi atached and attempt to use MSN, then it will drop the WiFi connection and instead pick up GPRS. And obviously you're on for .075p per kb... which might be the real answer in why T-Mobile have set-up the device in this way.
The 'programs that automatically connect to the internet' doesn't seem to allow you to select WiFi as the default connection, only the range of GSM/GPRS options and the 'My Work' one.
Should I use the 'My Work' VPN option and set that up to use WiFi ?
If anyonebody has got any tips on how to set or hack this... seems there are a few of us that might benefit !
Just out of curiosity: if you go into your WiFi manager, have you specifically told the device that the WiFi card in your MDA III connects you to "The Internet"?
I can't recall whether that was the default setting before I set up my wireless network connection on my IIs... it seems like such a no-brainer, but it could assume that your WiFi connection is to a work network etc.
I'm at work and it 's at home.... but I'm adamant that that it knows that the WiFi connection connects to the Intanet. As you say, I think that it is the default setting
However, I will check !
Any other MDA III owners shed any light on this ?
Hi,
I've just got Windows Mobile 5 working on my 02 XDA2s, but i cant connect to the internet via GPRS, anyone got any ideas???
Also.... call me stupid, but ive noticed i no longer have a /Storage folder since installing WM5 - why is this
Finally Does any know of anywhere i can get a battery indicator for WM5 on the today screen???
Thanks,
Okay well, there is a glitch in all WM5 versions that doesn't allow you to click the G and connect to GPRS, so I just installed a program thats on zevink.com in downloads/apps, called "SPB GPRS Monitor", it lets you disconnect/connect, and see how much in/out usage you use and it lets you cap/uncap stuff, its very useful. A lot of people use GPRS Monitor, its great!
I start Windows Live Messenger and sign-in.
The sign-in fails if I put in a wrong password, so I am definitely talking to a server.
Even if I have a wi-fi connection to the internet, the last step "Checking Internet Connectivity" fails. If not there, a 3G connection is always created.
I don't see any similar problems, so is this a 3 UK network restriction?
I have 3 mobile mail and Skype working fine over 3G & wi-fi. This is with Helmi AKU3.5.
Any ideas?
Thx

Does anyone have live messenger running on 3 uk (it is free now)?
I've tried the Live Messenger Beta and a midlet but cannot connect to a server - shame because it works fine on a Nokia 6680 and Motorola C975.
At least I have the settings OK now for the 3 MMS servers

the problem seems to be with the first account/login name u enter
change the account name/login & see
this worked for me

Thanks - I've tried another login but still the same.
I see now that if I turn the phone off in connections, the beta works over wi-fi or activesync.
So it seems to be a problem finding a server through the 3 network, maybe they use another server name or a proxy or something
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...
regards,
DM
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.

Thanks for your reply. That's terrible!! Haha. Any good alternatives for Instant messaging?
Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer.
Background:
I originally bought a MDA Compact III (HTC P3300) from T-mobile. Downloaded, installed and registered Pocket MSN and am able to log into MSN messenger and retrieve Hotmail mail.
Got fed up with GPRS and decided to buy a P3600 (from HTC) mainly cos of 3G and WiFi. I have an unlimited data plan.
Problem:
I inserted my SIM card into the P3600 (downloaded and installled Pocket MSN - not registered as i have paid for it already) and now I'm unable to log into Pocket MSN.
I get the following error when trying to log into MSN Messenger or do a send/recieve from my Hotmail account.
"Temporary conditions currently prevent connecting to the Pocket MSN service"
and then get the following message:
"Logon to MSN Messenger Service failed because the service is not responding. Please try later."
But when I put the SIM card back into the MDA Compact III it all works fine.
Spoke to t-mobile and they say it must be a setting on the phone thats preventing me from logging in, and suggest that I speak to HTC.
Spoke to HTC and they say it must be a problem with my service provider
I'm inclined to believe t-mobile as it does work on the MDA Compact III.
I've tried other apps such as IM+ and recieve similiar connection error messages. But connecting over Wifi it all works fine
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How are you logging in to pocket MSN? The only way I could log on to it was connecting to my laptop through activesync and using my cable internet connected to it.
are you connecting through GPRS/EDGE
you mention that you can connect through wifi but not directly (Iassume by GPRS/Edge/3g
if you've bought the handset sim free then you will need to add these settings into the handset. T-Mob would be able to supply you with these details to add in your connection settings and that should resolve the problem.
