Email Problem

Hello.
I'm having problems to configure my hotmail account after flashing with official wm6.5 (Portuguese version). Every time I try to create my hotmail account, after entering my username and pass, I press next and then the opera browser opens in my email account, but in the phone nothing at all.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

You should set up via Windows Live. Don't do it via the messaging app or the HTC email wizard. If you're missing Windows Live, you can get it in the Marketplace.

I've tried that, but I don't really know how to do it... I access my windows live account but there's any option to set up the email account in the phone! If it's not asking for too much, could you please tell me how can I do it?

Windows Live is an application. When you first start it up, you will be guided through a brief setup process where you enter in your details. At one point, you can select whether you want to sync your email.
If you don’t have the app or it doesn’t ask you about your email, grab the latest Windows Live app from Marketplace.

An alternative is to configure your email account setup manually using Hotmail's POP3 access server settings:

WP7 Mango Beta - Facebook Chat

So i installed the Mango Beta, but i have had trouble setting up Facebook chat.
Every time i go to, it try to do it, it clearly tries to do some oAuth authentication. Most of the time i get a "The address is not valid" in a browser control. Sometimes i get another weird error (it hasn't come up in a while).
So I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this, if they have had they had any success, or if they have found a way around it?
I have tried over both 3g and Wifi.

Same problem on my wp, and i still haven't had success

It seems that you have to add the Facebook Service via Live so that the Facebook Chat gets enabled. I have managed to activate FB Chat on my phone now, but still there are no contacts online. Gonna have to look into that.

Some people said to delete the Facebook account from the phone and add it again but it didn't work for me, same error :/

Works fine for me, I already had fb connected to live though so try that

I already had it set up with live for 9months or so now.
But i just checked it now, and it enabled its self and is working AFTER (about 30minutes after) i went to account settings and syncronised my facebook account...
Its must just be a werid beta issue

I don't think it is a WP issue (well the whole page loading error is) but my contacts aren't populating the desktop client. Everyone has reported that once the desktop client populated with FB chat friends, that it immediately started working on their phone. So there is some issue going on between IM and FB.

Ya i guess that's the problem once you're connected.
My contacts are also not shown in the Windows Live Messenger. (I have to admit - I do not have the Messenger installed, but the contacts are not shown on the Windows Live Website neither)

I was able to force my Windows Live and Facebook accounts to sync up by just going to accounts and pressing them and choosing 'sync'. Did Windows Live first, then Facebook and a minute later all was well.

I was also able to get mine to work doing this.

Took a bunch of hours, but Facebook Chat finally works perfectly.

Mine says "error0" or something like that when go to my Facebook account in Email+Accounts, can't use Facebook chat.

Tried everything I can. Went into FB on my computer, deleted the Live Messenger client, re-installed. Everything, but nothing. When add friends, it says I either have no friends, or that I already invited them.
Dunno.

Set everything up, and just sit tight for a day. Let is all sink in.

I just got my fb chat working this is how you do it!
Disable facebook chat in the message settings.
Login to your live.com account you used for your phone.
add facebook if it's not under services already. it is click on it anyways and just then click on save. Back on live.com you should now see messenger friends, and it should show all the people facebook available for chat.
Now go to your phone, settings, email accounts, and sync the live account first, then sync your facebook account.
Go back to messaging and settingsm turn fb chat on and everyone should show up! Atleast this is what worked for me, but you have to login to live.com on your laptop, not your phone.

Account has been disabled (app store)

everytime i log into my gmail, it says 'account has been disabled'. i emailed google and they said 'Your Google Apps account has been disabled by your administrator. Please contact your Google Apps administrator for more information.' who is my google app administrator? my android device is a samsung epic touch 4g, which i bought off ebay. it cant be activated so im just using it for a few apps and music. i did however use a black market app to download a few paid apps. can they disable my account for this?
its a school email thats using gmail. my email is [1] [email protected] did i violate some rule? im worried about losing all of my professors emails.

Hi there, There is a section if you click menu, settings, security...device administrators. maybe the app that you downloaded Somehow took over administrative rights? But i believe you can reset it thru the above. Or if you are rooted, maybe a clean flash.
Hope this helps.

It is exactly how it sounds. They disabled your account. Contact your student helpdesk.

Is it risky to enter gmail password in 3rd party app

Hello, some apps such as Trello, Wrike, Project Planning, etc., require the user to enter their gmail userid and password within these app. Is it risky to do it? I don't know if such 3rd party developer could access such info as they are entered from the app.

Once they get your username and password they can do anything you can do in Gmail. They could read all of your emails and maybe even send out spam using your ID. I never give out that kind of info to anyone or app.

I agree. It's one thing if the application requests access through Google's own API whereby you are redirected to a Google login but it's another to have to enter in your login information into a 3rd party app.
I use 2-factor authentication and keep track of what applications I give access to. It's helpful to do so so that one can be made aware immediately if an unauthorized login occurs.

Thanks. I just go a strange event called "Analogy game" on my google calendar. Don't recall entering that event. Scary! I changed my password immediately. Is that OK from now on?

Luckily Google is very helpful when it comes to security.
Here you can view every device that has accessed your account in the last 28 days. Useful to see if anyone's logged in to your account without your knowledge:
https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1 Click on the device and hit remove to revoke access.
And here you can see which permissions every app and device has, and what they're allowed to do:
https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
Click on one and hit Revoke Access on the right to revoke their access to your account. (Also useful for old or missing devices) “access to basic account info” means you've logged in to the device using your Google ID.
Logging into an app via the Google Framework login (The official Google login page) grants the app access to exactly what it says on the screen when you log in. If an app says 'Basic Info', all it gets is your public Google+ profile and your email adress. (Not your inbox.) If an app says it syncs data, that's what it'll do.
Apps which display your activity, emails, calendar items etcetera require a sync between your account and the app. This means that yes, the app can see all your emails. That's the price you pay for using an app like that.
A quick lookup of Trello lists it as both an Editor's Choice and a Top Developer in Google Play. That should be safe.
Wrike only has about 1700 users. I'm not so optimistic about that one.
Not all 3rd party apps are evil. K9 mail requires your Gmail account because it's an email app and it's perfectly safe.

How did Facebook grab my details?

Hi all.
I have had a S9+ for the past week.
On Friday I logged in to my Facebook account via either Chrome or Edge.
I have since discovered that the pre-installed Facebook app has my log in details and is sending me notifications and tracking my location.
How on earth did the Facebook app grab my log in details from a browser?

Same account logged into Chrome as Android probably, synced login details between devices?
No idea, I disable that PoS app as soon as possible

Assuming you're coming from another phone, I believe some app information like log-in credentials can sync to the new phone as soon as you log in to your Google and/or Samsung accounts, which each store some level of backup information.

Yep, what's really stupid is not being able to uninstall it. There are too many apps around that are way better. It's top of my disable list along with email, Gmail and briefing.

Thanks for the reply (and apologies for the tardy reply).
I have never previously used a Facebook app and only ever accessed FB via a browser. I still cannot see how my details were transferred from the browser to the app.

I went from a Microsoft Lumia to the S9. My Lumia was devoid of anything to do with Samsung or Google.
I would never install the FB app and hadn't even realised that it was pre-installed.

Your PC does though (Google)

Probably checks for any Facebook login cookies and then just uses them to sign you in. If you have FB Messenger that'll also try to get you logged in maybe Instagram or WhatsApp. It maybe gets your phone number it reads off the phone and associates it with your account?
I wouldn't be surprised if something else was going on behind the scenes. Facebook is one of if not the shadiest companies around. They automatically opt-in users for new features/services to gather more data on you.

Do you use anyothher Facebook owned apps like instagram? Or whatsapp. If it js your chrome browser then it is synced from you saving ur login credentials on a different PC

I don't use Instagram, FB messanger or WhatsApp, however I did install WhatsApp on my previous phone, the MS Lumia, for a week and then deleted it.
I can't help thinking that someone somewhere has fallen foul of the GDPR regulations by passing my data from one app to another without asking me for my permission.

That's exactly what social media and the majority of companies do nowadays. They violate all kinds of regulations to track you.
Go thru your Facebook security settings and see what apps are currently connected or authorized to use your account.
