[Q] Siriuswm6 connection failure - Windows Mobile Software Development

I have a sprint mogul and have been using SiriusWM6 to access Sirius. When I tried to sign on today I got a connection failure. The last time I signed on successfully was on Thursday 2/3/11.
Is anyone else having this problem and is there a way to correct this or get another program that works?
Thanks

I first noticed on 2/5/2011 that SXRadio2, which is another SiriusXM player for MinMo, does not work any longer. If you go to the Sirius.com online player, it's different than the one they've had for the past several years. I hope that someone is working on a fix or replacement app for those of us still on WinMo, since Sirius.com has a free app for ALL other devices! (Well, not all, but just Blackberry, Iphone, and Android.)

Windows Live Messenger not delivering messages

Hello,
Since a few days, my Windows Live Messenger stopped delivering messages. I am able to log on, to see online contacts, but not to chat with them. They are not able to send me messages either. All messages are bouncing back after a few minutes ("The following message could not be sent: ...").
All other internet applications (opera, skype, ...) are working fine at the same time.
At first I thought I messed up with some settings, so I hard reset my Blackstone. But this did not solve.
So I thought it was a network problem (maybe a filter from my network operator). But the problem held also using my home wifi connection.
I also tried to update the Windows Live component, following this link: http://wl.windowsmobile.com which actually worked and updated Windows Live to v10.06.0046.0800, but I still have the same problem.
Any idea? Someone else is not able to log on since about 1st May 2009?
EDIT: I tried another Live ID which I have, and on that one, everything works! But I don't want to use that... I have my emails and contacts on the other!!!
Any suggestion/help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi
I have also had problems with Windows Live for the past couple of days.
I was using it to get hotmail (mails delivered as they arrived, so data connection was always on).
It was working fine for about two weeks. The suddenly from past 2-3 days, my battery was losing charge very fast (30% gone in 4 hrs or so).
I though it was some application I has installed, so I did a hard reset. After that I realized that Windows Live was the problem. Basically it was not able to connect frequently and ate battery retrying.
So since past few days, probably something is wrong with Microsoft servers.
Anyway I kicked out Window Live and battery life is back to normal.
Looking for another push mail option now...
this is a general problem it happens on all my htc devices [tytn2 s630 htc hd]
it is probably due to the latest update for the desktop version of windows live messenger it doesn't support the windows live of the mobile phones we will wait for an upgrade to solve this problems [best wishes ]

Do you think that all the people who are using an HTC phone cannot use Live Messenger these days? Wow. I cannot believe that Microsoft does not do something immediately. Actually, I cannot believe that I did not manage to find a forum or blog on microsoft.com for Windows Mobile support... the only blog I found has the latest post dated Aug 2008. This is quite disappointing to me.
Anyway, hope that the update (or the workaround) will arrive soon.
Cheers

Another Verizon GPS help thread plus a Pandora question

From what I've gathered reading about the GPS problems on XV6900's with Verizon....you might need to know the history of my ROM's.
1. I got the phone brand new 3 weeks ago and of course it came with 6.0 out of the box.
2. I installed the newest Verizon 6.1 ROM w/ radio 3.37.78
3. I then installed NFSFAN's 6.5 v7 ROM
4. I installed "NFSFAN Verizon GPS Registry.cab"
So for starters my GPS does not ever connect. I don't even know where to start. I've been searching and reading on here for 4 hours this morning and about 5 hours before bed last night. I just got really confused. Lots of what I found was regarding an older Verizon 6.1 update, so I'm not sure any of that was applicable to me. Please point me in the right direction so I can start using Google Maps. Thanks in advance!
Now Pandora.....I have installed the pandora app that I found in the NSFFAN's 6.5 FAQ thread. Well it installed fine, but when it asks for my email and password there is no where to input them. The screen is just solid blue and at the bottom says "Back" and "Sign In". I changed my hardware button to bring up a keyboard thinking that might help, but no such luck. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it once already. Once again thanks in advance!

Alright, I realize it sucks when there is a new thread every week about this, but there is also a ton of old information on this site and it makes finding an answer very hard and even when I think I know what to do I look at the thread date and it's over a year old....and thus refering to an old Verizon ROM. Obviously the answer in on this site somewhere I just need someone to point me to the most recent solution that also correlates with my ROM history and problem. If I have to I'll paypal someone $5 if they can get my GPS working.
I haven't seen anyone have the problem I'm having with Pandora. Has anyone had this issue? Am I actually alone on this one? Are there any other native Pandora program options?

For the first time you open pandora,
open the keyboard before you open pandora,
it should stay open.
it's a problem with pandora itself.
also it seems to not be working correctly with 6.5 as of right now.
I put it on there for others to test for me,
but everyone is reporting it is a no go.
:/
hopefully pandora will release a update asap.
Also, gps issue,
verizon is blocking ip's or something like that,
therefore everything people are doing to make gps work,
is more of a work around.
And I'm sure verizon will figure out a way to counteract those as they are crafty son's of b*tches when it comes to people unlocking stuff they want locked down.

Help Greatly Appreciated: Phone cuts off. Possible power or WM6 problem.

I used to own a T Mobile MDA Compact 3 which I believe is the same as the Artemis.
The phone worked fine for me over the 18 months I had it. However I've since sold this phone on ebay and the buyer has reported a problem where it keeps cutting off via email.
I don't know if he's pulling a fast one or if this is a genuine problem. If it is a genuine problem how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
The only problem I've had with the phone is a screen problem on it in January and went back to T Mobile for repair. They sent it back with a replaced screen and WM6 on it which the buyer is saying is likely to be the cause of the power cut outs.
If it is WM6 does anyone know how to downgrade the device back to WM5? Any help appreciated.
Rather than paraphrase his emails I'll just list them in order received:
Email 1 received:
"hi.. this phone keeps switching off compeletely. each time i have to restart. sometimes its after 10mins other times its later. do you still have any warranty on it? if so can you post me paperwork and i can possibly have it repaired. if not then its faulty. it just keeps randomnly switching itself off. ive tried hard resets. even downloaded latest roms from tmobile website for compact 3 but still no success. ?? only other thing i can try is reinstalling windows mobile....."
I asked him for the link used to download the rom:
Email 2:
"tmobile direct.. under support and software.. i worked for 02 providing data support on pdas for 7 years and now own a 60 seater call centre in manchester and sell consumer and business mobile phones.. look at my feedback. ive bought and sold many pdas. im familar with them. backlight and power settings are unticked. it just completely shuts down. same as would when you would when you do a soft reset. after a hard reset the only thing you can really do is make sure the latest rom or software is installed. its an intermittent problem and i cant replicate it all the time. when it does it just switches off completely. no error messages at all. on standby it fine. its when your using the phone, any application or even on the internet. did wm6 come with the phone or did you install this yourself. ive noticed wm6 is not available on this model by tmobile. they have taken it off their websites.. ive used wm5 and have never experienced problems with them. if wm6 was an upgrade do you have wm5"
Email 3:
"i will try another battery as i have more mda compact 3's... if it works with another battery. no probs. i'll keep it. if it doesnt then i will have no option but to return as its faulty. could well be the battery if you have used it for about 18mths.. will keep you posted. thanks"
Email 4:
"i have done a little more testing and here is a problem that i can replicate every 5-10 mins.. the phone itself if not used does not switch off. its when its used that i have the problem. i have noticed in the about section the phone originally came with WM5. so maybe its the WM6 that is not fit for the phone? WM6 is not available and not supported on this model by Tmobile. Anyway. if i log onto to the internet via gprs and am physically browsing after a few mins the phone will reboot itself and switch off. so if im on the internet but not actually browsing and have just a gprs session active, the phone is fine. its only when i am actually browsing a site - it can be any randomn sites its not linked to any one site.. regards bash - hope the above makes sense.."
Email 5:
"i still have not had chance to try with a different battery but when i do i will let you know. i dont think you are a rip off merchant at all. im just letting you know the problems i am experiencing. its not just the internet. its also when i use my own 3rd party software which i use on other mdas orbits and spvs and works totally fine. i will speak to tmobile in the morning and see if i can get wm5 off them as i think its related to wm6. if the battery or wm5 does not fix it then i will have no choice but to return it. will keep you posted. regards"
bump.
Any help really appreciated.
I have the very same problem here !!!!
Dont think its the battery because it started from one moment to another with a FULL battery
I had the same problem with my phone turning off during use for no reason even when the battery was showing it was charged.
I replaced my battery and all seems to be OK now.

could these be Windows 6.5 bugs/quirks

After downloading Windows Mobile 6.5 on my touch pro 2, I've notice some issued that I didn't have before and I'm wondering how to fix them. The first one is that the clock is about 5 minutes slower than the real time. I assumed it set to the network, and I know people who also have T-mobile and their phones are on the correct time. I tried to manually set it, but it always returns to the wrong time. Bad for me since my phone is my watch and I'm always late anyway! Also, the HTC weather widget (the one that is right under the clock on the touch flo 3d home screen) is STUCK on New York even though I love in Orlando. When I first put 6.5 on the phone, it would always be on "my location" whatever that was, but now it's stuck on New York. I can't see any way to change this. I went into the weather app that comes on the phone and actually moved New York and set Orlando as my only location and turned the phone on and off and it's still stuck on New York... I don't care what the weather is in New York! I called T-mobile and they said it was because I needed a new SIM card (I've been using the same one since 2002 when I first signed up with Tmo). I went the store and they refused to give/sell me a new SIM card... they said they had no clue what was causing the problem, but they knew the SIM card had nothing to do with it. I also have problems when entering text on the device. Before I upgraded to 6.5, when I entered text in a field (say in the google search filed or in an e-mail message field) when I got to the end of the visible area, it automatically scrolled so I could see what I was typing. Now, when I get to the end of the field, I can still type, but it disappears beyond the realm of vision and will not scroll. I showed the people at the T-mo store and they also had no clue (but they did try to sell me a useless insurance policy). Does anyone know what to do about these issues or how to resolve them? I'd really appreciate any feedback you may have. As always, thanks )
Re: time lag
seriously i believe no one has this problem....at least for me,i never see this thing,it is always as acurate as my PC.
what rom are you using?will you try to flash another popular rom to see the difference?
Re: weather

I use the weather-localization feature to see how cold it is outside. Great to have such ability to look at your phone in the hall and know if a jacket is needed
Are you on T-Mobile? People on T-Mobile are reporting the problem.

Texting issues, particularly with iPhone users

Asking this for a friend who has an S9. I have an S10, so I have some familiarity, but we're still fighting with the problem. Here's the story:
He was on TMobile. I suggested he try changing to Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO) as I have had good luck with them. He switched and things were working fine for a few weeks.
Nothing on the phone was changed, but then about 2 weeks ago, his text messages weren't going through, particularly to iPhone users. Normally, we'd think this is a problem on the iPhone side, but nothing changed there either (his wife's iPhone)... in addition, this happened with multiple iPhone users, so it's not just one person...
We've done a ton of digging, contacted the carrier, they contacted VZ for help, tried different apps (stock, Google Messages, etc)... no one has been able to figure out the solution. The most recent finding was that the stock Samsung messaging app works fine for all users, but GMessages continues to have problems. With regard to GMessages, we have checked and confirm that iPhone users are getting detected at "SMS/MMS" and not RCS, so that doesn't appear to be the issue either.
APN settings match what I have (I have no problems with my S10 with any users - iPhone or otherwise).
Only remaining thing I can see is that his phone is seeing a CSC of TMB/XAA/SPR (mine is TFN/TFN/SPR). I think it could be due to the TMB/XAA he's seeing, but the carrier thinks this is not the issue. His ROM is showing up as SM-G960U_OYN_TMB.... I wonder if it's because it's U (instead of U1) so it's unable to switch to TFN?
Anyone else have any ideas on what could be going on here? Since the stock app works, it seems it's not a carrier issue... but I still don't get why that would fail to work on GMessages when it works fine on the stock messaging app?
Any ideas appreciated. We're quite technical and able to do all sorts of things (ODIN flashing, etc)... so nothing is off the table. Just trying to figure out how to fix this.
Bump - no one has any ideas or theories? I'm in brainstorming mode, so no idea is not worth trying!
