Hi People.. This is a BETA version, found today through Mess.be. I installed it on my BA running WM2005 and it works fine as far as I have been able to test it .. Hope you enjoy it
OK.. a bit more info.. I have tested the nudges and the voice clips, all work well. It is a bit annoying that the MSN contact list integrates into outlook, but hey... once its sorted and cleaned up, its ok!
It took about an hour to synch the first time.. just so you know.
OK>> THE UPDATE>> SOMEONE IS POSTING VIRUSES. ONLY DOWNLOAD FROM HERE!!
www.web4malta.com/xda-developers/windowslive-ppc2005_arm.rar
This site is SAFE! It's mine!
The Install_WLM.exe file is a script virus that deletes NTLDR.
DONT INSTALL IT!
I was just about to post this myself...
Mess.be said:
The mobile Windows Live Messenger client we brought to you at the end of last month did have the Windows Live look, but it had a very meager feature list. The Windows Mobile 5.0 version, on the other hand, will boast many useful features like Voice Clips (just press your Call button while in a conversation and you can send 15-second voice messages), group conversations, file transfers (send your camphone pics), nudges, etc. Unfortunately, it's still in private Beta as part of the G2 suite of Live services which also includes Live Mail, Contacts, RSS and Local Search.
A couple of days ago, the Beta was refreshed to version 10.6.0023.0200 for both Smartphones and Pocket PCs. Over a hundred bugs have been fixed since the last update, and some features were added. For instance, users of previous Beta-versions will be glad to hear that contact synchronisation isn't obligatory anymore (just untick the boxes when asked). You also have the option to add your Messenger dashboard (showing your nickname, e-mail address, Display Picture (!) and current status) to the Today screen. Other changes include support for Personal Status Messages and several extra menu options here and there.
We've tested the next-gen Messenger client and it's truely a killer app that will boost mobile IM significantly once officially released. Obviously, lucky owners of a Windows Mobile 5.0 device are eager to get their hands on the Windows Live G2 Suite, so I did a bit of searching and found that it had been leaked less than two days after its recent Beta release. Mess.be nor Microsoft supports this leak, so install at your own risk. The private Beta is currently available in English only.

Thanx buddy
Thanx buddy I was eagerly waiting for this BTW r u the official beta tester neways.
Cheers Matt!
Thanks Buddy am installing now!
Already been posted in news few days ago, the exe in news contains both versions, and the version is not 5 but 10.6.0023.0200
look here for it
I've given it ago, and ignoring it's beta status I find it werid that although it has the new "roaming picture" support that has just come out on the PC beta version as well, it doesn't seem to support offline message which has been out on the PC version for a while. Maybe it's something they are working on?
Otherwise it's looking like an excellent release!
I'm unable to connect to Windows Mobile....It's my problem?
Nope, can't connect either.
Same here.
i had it going for a week. did a hard reset and re-installed, but now can't connect. also another funny thing. after i installed and went on the mobile dslreports site and checked my ip it says than i'm connected through msn.net, which is very odd as i use either wifi or usb connected to my pc (my provider is freedom2surf), or i use gprs which is orange.
looks like a case of big brother is watching!!!
Hmmm....
Yep doesn't work.
That's a scary thought about big brother watching... something was strange about it, there's proof. Looks like we're gonna have to wait for the next leak, oh well...
I think MSOFT have closed the service to non legit beta testers. I get a msg saying that my phone connection is poor, check my reception. you getting the same?
Me too cant able to connect , seems M$ has blocked this beta version .
I got the same message about the reception.
I registered at http://connect.microsoft.com to download the new beta legally.
Live messenger for PPC
hmm.. Sorry guys.. At the time of posting It was working fine.. I logged in on all three of my acounts.. Seems M$ has limited the beta release to just a few of us who are official testers!
As soon as I get a new version or any more news I will let you know.. Until then....
The frustrating thing is that it seems to be working fine. I don't understand why they'll let anyone download Office 2007 (worth serveral hundred pounds) but won't let us have Live messenger (which I'm guessing is gonna be free).

I am not sure if this is old news, but I did a search and did not find the topic... If it is please disregard
From Gizmodo:
MSN Direct's weather, news, stocks, and entertainment info have been available on MSN Spot devices for a while now, but have been surprisingly missing from Microsoft's own cellphone devices. Not anymore. You can get now up-to-date info right on your Windows Mobile home screen direct from whatever data connection you have (Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE). Best of all, it's free, which means that MSN Direct might be moving more towards a software service on already-connected devices, which in turn means that it might even expand to non Windows Mobile phones in the future?
Link to MSN Direct:
http://phone.msndirect.com/phone/index.html
Doesn't work on the Kaiser, since MSN Direct is for SMARTPHONES ONLY.
Hopefully someone will tweak it to work for Pocket PC's, though.
From the screenshots, it appears that this works on Windows Mobile 6 devices, but the list of supported phones only includes smartphones.
I confirmed this when I tried to install it on my tilt and it was unsuccessful.
Anyone else had different luck?
By the way, that weather plugin looks HOT!
It looks like its only for smartphones, which could count all of us Kaiser/Tilt users out.
The installer says "This installer is not intended for this device".
Is it because the binaries are for a different processor architecture? If it's made for ARM devices, it should work regardless.
There's probably logic in the cab that says
IF !=whatever-os-designed-for then error. Anyone know how to change the CAB to include our OS on the allowed devices list? Maybe extract the contents and make a new cab?
This is now available for Pocket PC devices as well.. Just downloaded today and it works
Same here... Just instaled it and it works.
Finally I can get my local weather! My city was on the list unlike with HTC weather.

lol, there are other cabs available for free weather that you can customize your town or city.
Shameless plug: Just wanted to tell any fellow Twitter-ers out there with Windows Mobile Pocket PCs that I just released a new Twitter client that allows you to use nearly every feature that Twitter provides. Its pretty small (214k download) and requires the .NET Compact Framework v2. Its quite a stable program and has been successfully used in prototype status for nearly a year (and remained stable throughout that time!) and I have now released it to everybody to try. Heck, its free, so why not! Please let me know what you all think!
Download it from my site: http://www.infinitumsoftware.com/twobile
Has anyone done one that can also tweet your gps position ?
ps There is also twittercam which is by far the best twitter updater I have used on the kaiser it enables you to take a photo, tweet and upload then together in as little as 3 smooth steps.
Take pic
Tweet
Hit send and place the kaiser in your pocket.
Unfortunately it too does not tag gps data
I couldn't find a CAB that would install all the latest versions of the Windows Live apps (Messenger, Search, and Hotmail), so I made my own.

hhaha, well i'll be damned. they actually update it the day after i gripe about it being a "2007" version for so long. they added some cool new stuff, like their "wikipedia" search under collections, viewing lat and long, and you can enable full screen now...i wonder what google is going to do when they update theirs.
thanks for the info just downloaded it now ...looks good
Yeah I like Windows Live Search (Mobile). Seriously if you live in the US or UK, it beats the **** out of google maps. New version looks good, glad that they're working on updates. Anyone have any luck with the Flickr: Latest Photos?
I have a at&t tilt and I am having problems with live search recognizing my gps on com4. Any ideas why?

Does anyone know if the latest version of Windows Messenger has offline IMs and mobile IMs? For example, can you leave an offline message to someone. Or, if someone has messenger set up to recieve their IMs on their phone, can you send an IM to them via Windows Messenger on your phone. Both of these, you can't currently do.
Hello,
I currently have WL 10.6.0031.2600
Can I simply install your newest cab over the version that is currently on my TyTnII? I see no option to remove the old version from the programs so must be ok?

Is anyone else finding a drastic reduction in battery life after installing windows live search? Mine has gone down by about 2/3. I cant get more then a day out of a fully charged battery now!
I think it has something to do with me always being connected to HSDPA/3G? Dont spose anyone has any advice?
thanks guys.
If you have a data connection open all day, especially on HSDPA/3G, then you're definitely going to suffer with battery life. Disconnect your data connection if you're not using or use a tool such as Schap's Advanced Config to auto disconnect data.

Link? Also, what version of WLM is included? Does it have the multiple sign-in feature in WLM 9 (desktop version)? That would give me the handy ability to sign in on my phone and my laptop at the same time...
all that means is that you cant have any other plugins on today while touchflo3d is enabled
we need wisabar desktop/xperia panels and we will be sorted
anyway
its in day 7 of the coolsmartphone review
and wlm version
theres not even been a rumor of the multiple sign in, and its not even in the desktop one yet is it? only in the us.
and nothing has been made of it, so id say the current newest, and i cant tell from my rom dump

XPERIA panels would truly make the Touch Diamond untouchable. And how do you not know about the multiple sign-in thing? It's in that WLM 9 alpha/beta thing that has been floating around on the internet for a while.

yes alpha
ffs its only been called wlm on ppc for like 1 version
it doesnt even have custom emoticons
WTF have custom emoticons got to do with anything?
And if you don't start calling it WLM now, when will you?
well all im saying is
1)the desktop one doesnt even have proper multiple sign in, you cant have ever used it because its for americans, and its pre-beta
2)mobile msn messenger doesnt have custom emoticons, so how the **** can you expect it to have multiple sign in. thats like expecting a car with no gearbox to have a v8
Multiple sign-in would put no extra strain on devices. Custom emoticons would.
And WLM 9 may be released randomly. Apparently Microsoft have learned their lessons from Vista, and they're keeping future stuff more quiet so it's not over-hyped.

the only way to have things on your home screen is to disable touch flo 3d, i recommend adding the application to your programs short key...
Well, hopefully I'll be able to add TouchFlo3D as a personal tab in Ultimate Launch without too many problems...

I've encountered a few different versions of windows live/windows live search, which is best and fast? i just want the live search function and that's what i seem to have on my tilt right now.
i have windows live for windows mobile 10.6.0034.0800, and all i use it for is the windows live search plugin on the today screen, i dont use my hotmail or messenger. is there a better search function with a today plugin? what do you use?
I'm confused too.
I'm looking for a version that has MSN/WL Messenger with it, but I can't tell which one has what.
I have Windows Live 10.6.0038.2701
and Live Searce 3.0.3047.24749

The version that the above poster is using (10.6.0034.0800) has WLM included, and is the one that I use on every ROM that I install.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I had that version at one time, but "upgraded" and it was gone. I'll put this one back on (assuming I can find the CAB)
i had to hard reset my device twice yesterday after installing the official version from the microsoft site ..
it has some nice new options like disable sync/connecting when roaming ...
but after reset the device would hang in the green windows mobile screen ..
i now found a zip here on the board that works great:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1281625&postcount=4
btw google has a today plugin too that works great .. the version released a month or 2 ago had some bugs but i downloaded and installed it today and works fine now.. http://mobile.google.com
Give a try also to PALRINGO......

Just a FYI for others, some may get Windows Live for Mobile and Live Search for Mobile confused. Windows Live is the app that syncs hotmail, and has the mobile MSN Messinger, which is the one your discribing. Live Search is a differnt app all together.

Just uninstalled at reinstalled that one - still the same - anyone else any ideas??
I believe the ones I have posted here are still the latest.
I use them daily, with voice recognition, e-mail, etc:

Voice recognition greyed out:: Sussed
Right folks I have just figured out why the voice recognition is greyed out on the windows Live search interface. Now I'm sure some of you have already sussed this but voice recognition is only active for US residents. (not sure why must be configured for an American accent or something). Thankfully I have found a work around all you have to do is set your country of residents to America in the start screen (simple eh). this also seems to still work when you have clicked on the locate me button get a fix on your location.
Hope this helps as it has taken me a few hours of searching around.
