WLM, online contacts not showing up

When I log in to msn (after hard reset, or soft reset) I can see all my online contacts who are online atm. When I log in another time, I do not see any online contacts, but they are able to talk te me... hard reset and/or soft reset does not help, running on official WM6 right now. A solution anyone?

Really strange, your using T-Mobile Internet also in the Netherlands? I use it too, i have this problem also with official WLM, seems to be an network problem i guess (if i connect by wifi it seems to work always)

I am having the same problem. It started about a week ago. Is it a dutch problem?

It the MSN version we have build in our roms. Build 1400 was known not to have this bug. My friend has a HTC Touch with an official rom, but he also has the same problem.
But when i installed build 1400 on my Herald, it got stuck in a boot loop.

No problem here and i live in Holland and have T-Mobile Web&Walk, works like a charm.
check if you have for access point : internet (small letters) , i say this because the network wizard makes it internet-acs or something like that which doesn't work correctly.
Also check if you have proxy disabled.
Cheers

Hi, i live also in the Netherlands and i have the same network as yours (T-mobile), i know the network wizard is configuring an connecting with internet-act, i change this everytime i have hard reseted my device, but that's not really the problem, everything online works great, only the contacts don't show up when i sign in, my contact are able to chat with me (can also chat back, but they have to start the conversation). It's an really anoying problem, has anyone an solution for this?

I have to come back on what i've said....i have now the same ****...no online contacts but i am connected and can chat with people when they leave me a message.
i think the problem has to do with the t-mobile provider. gonna give em a call next week.

I Also have dutch T-Mobile and had the same problem last week.. I installed different newer versions without succes. Now I installed the 1400 version and my contacts are back online!
Now I only have the problem that I cannot sync windows live mail... It is working with an other account on my device so i'll have to contact Microsoft about this.

1400 does the trick
I also installed the WLM build 1400 and the prob is solved But i don't have any sync problems! try reinstalling, you'll never know
Here it is:

Anybody using IM+

I was using the demo which seems to work ok. So I bought it. Now I have an issue where once I close the IM program (but running in background), if I open the IM or try to read an incoming message, I don't get the IM+ window. I do get the bottom bar with all the menus that work, but I can't see my IM or the contact list.
I don't know what is causing this. I tested this program pretty much all the way through all my loading of my software. It was working. Then all of sudden it quit working, I tried to uninstall everything but that didnt fix it. I tried reinstalling the program but that too failed to help.

*bump**bump*
*bump*
*bump*

Hmmm, I bought one also but have not got that kind of issue.
So far so good.
I think you need to contact their support.

i have no problems with im+ either

no problems here

I contacted them 11/13 but still no answer. And just now I just tried to remove it and.. if I turn off "ALways run in background" it fixed it. BUT of course it shuts down the program the minute I close it. I moved the program over to the exceptions list for my tast manager. Now it sorta works. Thank GOD. I thought I waisted $40 on this program.
Not sure what this does:
"Prevent automatic power down"
If this option is marked with flag, your Pocket PC will be prevented from going to standby mode.
I think my Tilt still goes to sleep, like as if I pressed the power button after a few minutes, with or without the check on that box so I'm not sure what it does.

It's only meant for Pocket PC's, not PPC PE's. This is why there's no difference on a PPC phone.

Try 2 open the Today Screen with the Start Button.. or try to check if X BUtton is used just minimize and close on longer push.
both are options which should work.. had the same problem. you'd better bought agile messenger:O

Not to mention the whole pricing scheme they came up with, IM+ is a one time fee. Also, I've noticed more compatibility with Services from IM+ over Agile. Agile doesn't always recognize Aliases set by Messaging services, and I found it to be more bulky and bloated, but thats just my opinion. I wrote an email (using the form on the site) to ShapeServices support and got a response in 2 days... Not the most outstanding response time, but I guess better late then never.

Thanks for the replies. I found agile a day AFTER I bought IM+. It looks good, but didn't seem to be as polished as IM+, although IM+ isn't working all that great for me at the moment, but it is running now). Agile has something about paying $40+ for a lifetime subscription. Or was that for a years worth... I did like how you could send voice messages and pictures really easy in agile.
One thing that bothered me was, do these programs do a "forwarding" to keep track of what you send on their servers? I think Agile does. But I think IM+ uses AIMs server, but I could be wrong.

You mean are they all central server-based solutions? To my knowledge, yes - everything you say goes through their servers.

With the free Fring, you can even chat in voice (not just send voice clips) - it supports VoIP and is great. A Kaiser-compatible version has been released recently; I've published a news item on it today.

I'm using Palringo at the moment, with pidgin on my desktop to manage my list from until the next version comes out that has the brunt of the missing features. For my vote, it's the snappiest UI I've seen so far, a Today plugin is in the works (for now it's a tray icon for notification), has GREAT camera support like Agile, fun PTT radio like audio. Audio and Pictures work will non Palringo clients as well, they just recieve a link that lets them play / view through a web browser.
Their support is also friendly and fairly active on the forum. This IM client also has "groups" which are sort of like chat rooms that you can subscribe to. These have proven fun and useful as well in my experience.
I had agile, but it was to slow, I've had IM+ but was mislead by a phone rep that my phones version supported file transfers (what I liked), so they gave me a refund. I've also had Fring, but it doesn't support Yahoo or AIM, which I use about as much as any other. Once fring gets those I'll be tempted to go back to it though, excellent peice of code.

I have I'M+ on my XV-6700 installed on to the storage card, and as long as I don't suspend power everything works fine. If I do suspend power then when I turn the device back on it can't find the storage card, have to do a soft reset to be able to see the card again!

debating if its worth it, what other software would you recommend?
I need AIM and Google Talk

I found something bad. I guess I was wrong, If I turn this on, my tilt doesnt go insto standy. You tend not to notice this because most people hit the off button on the side of the unit. But I noticed it never shut down when I doing nothing (I have it to turn off after 2mins). But if I turned this off, then it would shut down. But I noticed with the Tilt off, IM+ would disconnect but not show that it was disconnected when you turn it back on.

Anyone using IM+ with Dutty's Kaiser DualTouch v1.1 ROM?
I am having problems with IM+ on Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 ROM and was wondering if anyone else has run into similar problems. I posted a description of the problem in Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 ROM Thread, but it doesn't seem like anyone there uses IM+. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can not get AIM+ to work with Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 rom. When ever I open up a buddy, it does not give me the textbox below to enter a message. Anyone else with this issue? Agile does not work with my dataplan but works through the USB connection.

MDA Vario III + Hotmail Push email problems

Hi all,
first of all big thanks to all the guys on here, my MDA is nearly how i would like it to be using some of the information from here, great work and keep it up, donations sent to those deserving!
I am using the latest version of windows live mail (10.6.33.0600 thanks duttythroy!) but not matter how i put the settings (currently as items arrive and alway) email tends to have a mind of its own as to wether it is forward automatically or not. seams to work for a while they just stop forwarding, anyone else had/having/resolved these probelsm?? Access is via tmobile web'n'walk unlimited access.
cheers
Matt

I also have had this problem...it just kicks back an error telling me that sync failed!

yup works every now n then for me too

Yep... Me too
Also having Hotmail and Windows Live problems. So much so that I am seriously considering downgrading to the new BlackBerry, just to be able to stay online and keep my emails and MSN chats available.
Anyone know how to rectify this problem before I go the route of BlackBerry???
PS. I received a email from my mate saying that Yahoo has some or other version of push mail available, if that helps. Got the link somewhere, aint tried it yet as it dont help me with my current email accounts.

I'm probably headed down the same route. One of the primary reasons I decided on the Vario III was for email capabilities and viewing Excel files at work but so far it's been nothing but a disappointment.
Syncing constantly fails. Sometimes my inbox comes back with nothing in it. I haven't managed to download a single attachment successfully, pdf, xls or doc. This is ridiculous.

Microsoft Push Email
I phoned my service provider as my Vario ii came with BlackBerry connect software, but I never bothered with it until I got the Vario iii and started having all these problems. Long story short, they say you cant use the BB software or service unless its with a BB. BUT... they said something about Microsoft Push Email... Which I am on the phone to them now to find out about, but the TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT WONT PICK UP THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!
Update: There is nothing that these ppl can do to get me what I want, so... What I ended up doing, and its costing me a few quid a month, which is worth it, is set up a NEW PUSH ACCOUNT with my website. So far, it seems to be working.
But, I am also told, for you Hotmail users, that if you upgrade to Hotmail PLUS, that it might also support the push option. Not sure yet, going to try find out now. If you are like me that lives for email on the go, (well, only recently that is) then it might be worth spending the extra cash. Will be in touch to let you know what else I find out...

No good news to report
Ok guys... I tried almost everything. I dunno if its the Windows Live Software or the T-Mobile Internet Connection, but even after I signed up for a PUSH EMAIL from my website hosting provider, I still get SYNC ERRORS or SENDING MESSAGE ERRORS, so Im putting it down to one of 2 things... A consistant connectivity problem with either the Vario 3 or with the Service Provider, in my case T-mobile.
Which makes my next statement rather contradictory. I am getting rid of the Vario 3 and replacing it with the new BlackBerry Curve 8300, but sticking with my T-Mobile contract (kinda because I still have a year left on it) I will also be upgrading my current contract to provide me with the BlackBerry Service, which pushes up my monthly tariff but, saves me from Burst Blood vessels and anurisms in the brain, when the emails wont send or retrieve.
I weighed up the pro's and con's of the BB and the Vario3. Sure the Vario3 has more features and the touch screen and so on, but the BB doesn't have a sliding keyboard which could potentially wear out (Like on my Vario 2 from constant use) Its thinner than the Vario3 and way lighter.
This is not a product review, I guess, so if anyone out there knows why I shouldn't make the swap, please let me know asap before I go ahead and do it.
Take in to consideration that reliable email service and connection is mostly what I am after.

Good News... sort of
My email has been holding sold for a few days, since my last post. That is with the PUSH EMAIL I set up from my website.
The other thing that I thought was rather interesting, was that I removed Windows Live and Messenger from the SETTINGS, SYSTEM, REMOVE PROGRAMS. But... Its still on my Vario iii even though it shows that it was removed and... I have yet to have a SYNC FAILURE message. It seems to be working brilliantly.
So, in conclusion, decided to keep the Vario iii especially since doing some surfing and finding some awesome accessories aswell as Games like Quake and Duke Nukem to play on it.
Have fun and good luck.

hotmail - vario 3 - pop3 imap help!!!
I am also tearing my hair apart with my vario 3 trying to get my email. I have hotmail plus surely that should do the trick....

has anyone bottomed out what the problem is? Could be of interest but my work TMob account (uk) synced fine to hotmail/push email up until the other day.
my boss emailed me the other day saying that he'd just opened his bill and found that my months access charges was £800 as web and walk wasnt enabled on the account. which it is now.
so, in summery my hotmail syncing was fine when i wasnt on web and walk. but it 90% fails to connect now its on web and walk. (not tried pop/imap yet though, just push/normail windows live setup.

SMS, MMS PC Emulator or PC gateway?

Sorry this is not a accessory type of thing, but then again I suppose I could be.
But anyway, is there a SMS PC emulator available for Windows Mobile 6. I would like to be able to send and receive SMS MMS with my PC as a gateway. So an incoming SMS would display on my PC and I would be able to reply to the SMS from my PC, with my phone actually sending the SMS.
If there are any options I would really like some input. I am not really looking for a complete WM6 emulator, just a SMS gateway or emulator.
Thanks,
Beau

Dashwire allows this too..

Dashwire
Dashwire was just what I was looking for, thanks. After a few days of using it I found that it is perfect when it is properly sync'ed. But it seems to loose sync often, but that could be that this is my 1st WM6 device, and I haven't quite found a proper way of keeping it running in the background. Even though dashwire said the did not support the verizon xv6800, but I told them that I had a different carrier of the same model and it appears to work.
Mymobiler, I could not get to work, although admittedly, I have not tried too hard to get it to work even though I do have use for a remote "desktop" for my WM6. Right after installing my virus scanner said it was trying to connect to the internet, and I told the program to deny the request. Why would it need access to the internet. Perhaps that is why it is not working. But like I said I have not really looked into why it's not working.
Thanks!
-Beau

It's not that it needs to access the internet, just that it needs to access the network. ActiveSync connects via a "fake" network connection. By blocking MyMobiler, you prevented it from talking to the phone.
On dashwire, do you have it set to automatically sync? It works fine for me with that set.

Yeah, last night I took the time to actually read in detail the message about mymobiler, and now it works!
And as far as dashwire goes, it seems to work for a few hours and then it fails, until I close the program, and restart dashwire. I will give the settings a double check.
BTW: I was brave last night and flashed my phone to WM6.1 with GPS. It was very easy, a little confusing and got some conflicting instructions. Did not even have to call Verizon to authenticate!

Windows Live Connection Problems

I've recently downloaded a live messenger cab from here after my palringo account seemed to go down the drain....
doing a search it seems there were a number of problems with bringing messenger in but i couldnt find a definitive answer to my problem.
It seems to sign in fine and i can chat away...however should i leave it for a little while the connection drops after a while. If i chat continuously this doesnt seem to happen.
I dont know if this is a setting issue, a program issue or a network issue (which is T-mobile)
I'm flashing the Dutty WM6.1 ROM tonight so i dont know if that will fix it.
Any help is appreciated!
