Windows Live for Windows Mobile

Just a couple of questions as i notice when i was using the MSN
1. Does you PDA slow down to a craw when you launch the Messenger & also while it's running in the background?
2. When setting up Messenger, do you merge Messenger contacts with outlook or not?
3. When you launch Messenger be it on 3G connection or WiFi, how long does it take before it loads your full list of contacts?
4. Is there a way to speed up the Messenger on the TyTN II?
5. What version of Windows Live are you using?
Mine.
1. I can barely use my PDA for anything while Messenger is running. It feels as if it has freeze most of the time
2. I merge my contacts with Outlook
3. It takes mine a good 7 - 10 minutes before it loads up my Messenger list which is only about 120 contacts
4. Would love some advice here
5. Version 10.6.0033.0600
Appreciate any advice as i use Messenger a lot. Thank you and Merry Christmas

I don't really now all that but for me I love windows live... I wish the GPS worked a little better though... So many times it cannot find a signal. In anyevent...
The real question is what do you all feel is better Google live or windows live?

people!! There are 2 very different Windows Live/Live Search apps. Can we please start getting this straight?
I know MS made some idiotic branding/naming decisions, but I feel like if you own WinMo phone you should have it figured out by now.
The questions refer to Windows Live, NOT Live Search.
1.) No. Messenger does not bring my phone to crawl, although I rarely stay connected long because Windows Live + Kaiser Connection Issues = major suck fest (just search my past post for more info)
2.) No I do not merge Outlook contacts. I keep Live for all personal contacts and Exchange server for business. Works out really great.
3.) To connect to Messenger and see buddy list (about 105 contacts) over 3G takes approximately 1 minute.
4.) Have you tried Kaiser Tweak app for changing File System and Glyph settings? These tend to improve overall device performance and work well for me.
5.) I have used them all and recently downgraded to 10.6.32.2100.
I have to admit I do not use the Messenger portion much. My main complaint has been not getting Push mail to work correctly. Had NO issues with WL on my Hermes. I submitted a report to MS and they are supposedly "working on it"

Well...if that is the case, my Messenger is confirm not working the way it's suppose to. I actually though it was normal cos i had the same problem on my Hermes.
Care to give me the settings in the KaiserTweak file system thing that u r using.
1 more question....can i just download & install a older or newer version & have the current version overwrite?

1. i cant tell its running - but my contacts list is quite small - see 2.
2. i initially merged but got peeved off as all my msn contacts got mixed up with my real life contacts which made finding phone number laborious - so i reset it all only to find that doing so wiped my messenger contact list - entirely - no more contacts - not even on my main pc! so now i dont merge.
3. cant say on these two, havent really ever connected via them - on gprs though it takes about 6 seconds ish - but again my contacts list is short.
4. probably not
5. Version 10.6.0033.0600
my pet peev is the windows live home screen plugin - its far too large

In Kaiser Tweak, under Cache. I am using all the (Advised) Settings. However I don't think that will help your problem much. Do a lot of your contacts have a custom display picture? When I contatced MS about my problem with emails they told me to change my display pic to a default as custom pics have been known to cause issues. If a lot of people on your buddy list have custom pics, that could be causing the delay.
Also, do not install WL over a previous version. First uninstall it from your device and soft reset. Then install the older version.
Let us know if you find something to fix the issue.

In case u hit problem number 2 again, u can actually log into MSN on your desktop, then click on Tools->Options->Privacy then click on View. From there, just right click on the names on the list and add to contacts

Thanx for the info. Sadly most of my contacts have their own custom pictures which might explain the slow loading of my MSN.
This still does not explain why when MSN is running, my TyTN II is crawling to the extend many time i just reset it and stop using the MSN
Well....guess now i have another problem....my MSN is in the ROM itself. I'm using Dutty's No.7B ROM. Any ideas?

Hi,I have 10.6.0031.2600 version and it doesn't work too.I send a mail to http://support.live.com and they answer me that i must verify proxy connections.So i don't know why because it worked before ...

Finally....when setting up MSN, do not "Store & Merge contacts with Outlook". This has made my MSN run like normal again. Now it's fast Thanks guys for the tips & advice. Problem solved.

Problems with Activesync and Diamond

Hi all
Wonder if anyone can help with this. I use myTouch Diamond to sync to home and work PCs' Home is XP, work is Windows 2000. Outlook 2007 on both.
The phone ROM is 1.37.405.1.
I am getting a recurring error during sync:
Activesync encountered a problem on the desktop. Support code: 86000107

I have tried deleting partnerships and starting afresh, reoving and re-adding contacts and calendar in Options, all kinds of methods. The only thing that solves it is the fresh start: however, it only works once! When I go to the work PC, same thing happens, I delete the partnership and start again, it works fine... until I go to the home PC...
Is there some WM6 problem with Activesync? Any pointers as to how to solves this?
Thanks for any help.

I'm sure you used the Search facility and didn't find an answer to your question, right?
WRONG! Don't be lazy - there's a search button. Use it before starting new, useless threads.

Pretty rude response. Just ignore me next time if my posts trouble you in any way.
Yes, I have used the search function. I have tried the suggested steps.
There is no reliable solution to this that I can see. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
There are a few solutions to be found that work temporarily, yes. But they all seem to fail when you sync with your other PC and then come back to sync again with the first.

Have you tried unchecking all the sync folders, then adding them back in one at a time to see if one is causing the issue...
or this...
1: unplug usb cable if you are still connecting it with your WINDOWS MOBILE
2: Open MS Outlook (I m using 2007 as an example), go to File- > New -> Outlook Data File , and create a new PST file (what ever name/ location)
3: In outlook, Tools ->Account settings, then click Data Files tab, click the new PST file that you had just created, and set as default , then restart outlook
4: delete activesync partnarship in both Windows Mobile and in your Desktop
5: Plug the WM to the USB port, and it should sync properly again.
6: restore the backup by using MS Outlook's Import and export function

I'm sorry if I seemed rude. However, if you read the responses you KNOW there is no solution. You also know where the thread discussing this is, so why open a new one?

Why not just accept that sometimes a new thread will open on a subject that is a persistent problem, especially from someone new to the forum? Or,even better, just don't bother with your unhelpful remarks. If you have something useful to add, let's hear it.
There are several threads that mention the topic.
Windoze9t8, thanks, I have indeed tried this. It does, as do some of the other fixes, resolve the problem for that particular activesync session. But when I go from computer 1 to computer 2 (on both of which I have done the above with the .pst file), on computer 2 I am back to square one with the 86000107 error.

Sorry I cant be of more help as I dont not use activesync much as I'm using the 4smartphone service which syncs mainly over wireless.

It's a WM 6.1 bug. WM 6.0 works just fine. ATM there is no known solution.
I hope that sums it up.

Thanks guys.
Sadly, before reading that, in my attempts to get this to work I have completely banjaxed my Outlook 2007 so that I can neither uninstall or reinstall it, nor will system restore do anything.

TF3D Calendar shows not all Items

Hello everyone
im now for almost a week a lucky owner of the htc diamond...
It's working like a charm!
But I have to questions:
-> When I have more than one wholeday calendar-entry (for example a busy note, and a birthday) only one entry (in my case the busy note) is displayed, the birthday I only see when I lauch the calendar application... Is that normal? Where can I change that?
-> Second thing: When I click on the calendar, it starts always the ugly agenda view, also if I changed the default view in the calendar options. Where do I have to set the switch?
I didn't find the answers. If they are already available, I ask you to provide me the correct link on saying sorry.
Thank you, Sven

Please view this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399983&page=6

Thank you..
I tried this already.. It also shows only one wholeday-entry when the clock is small...
Do you have an idea to the second question?
thank you,
sven

In the manual it says that it is only designed to show:
1 all day event
up to 2 timed events
When tapped, it will only bring up the Agenda view of the Calendar, this is by design and so far nobody has found a way of showing more calendar events or getting it to open the built-in calendar on any other view other than Agenda view.
Also, nobody as yet has found a way of making it open a different calendar application eg AgendaOne or Pocket Informant etc.
I believe people are trying to do this, but so far nobody has succeeded. I'm sure that if somebody does, it will happen on this forum and we will all know about it!

Hey marisa
thank you for your answer I'm not a friend of manuals, nor I'm a friend of restrictions...
I now have found a way to start the calendar in day-view (in fact I think it wouldn't be a problem to start any calendar with this way)
Is there a request for smt like this? Should I try to create a helper?

If you've managed to do this then I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who would want to be able to do this. Maybe you should start a new thread with that in the title and put there the explanation of how you did it.

A lil bit o' help with E-Mail/Youtube

*sigh*
I just got the phone yesterday, and I've been messing with it all night. Great device and best I've owned yet, but unfortunately I'm having issues trying to setup Hotmail as my e-mail account. I did some research and some said to sign into Messenger and sync e-mail. But where is Messenger? Is it the messaging application that can sign you into Aim/Msn/Yahoo or an actual Live Messenger program on the device that eludes me?
The other thing is the Youtube Application. Yes I've found it but I'm unable to make it shortcut under programs or in start menu. I did download Total Commander but I'm new to this whole importing .cab thing. Is there anywhere I can find a guide to doing this without bricking my phone?
Any help would be mucho appreciated!

There is another thread on it somewhere. You need to highlight the cab and copy it then go to the windows, start menu, programs directory (I believe thats it) and copy a shortcut there.

When I created my shortcut to the YouTube app, the larger file did nothing. There's a 700kb and 50kb (my estimates could be completely off btw) and only the smaller file that I created a shortcut to launched the app.

Hmm ok. What about the hotmail issue though? Is it even possible or *must* I use gmail?

not at all, just open run windows live (I believe under games and apps) login, and then select hotmail.

hmm for the life of me I can't find it, i looked in that area but its not there :|
btw, I have $50 riding that Randy Couture takes out Lesnar this saturday

wich carrier are you using?
I'm from holland and my TP ( Vario IV ) came with the stock T-mobile rom. If you are using T-mobile, chances are they left out MSN.
Suggestion : Flash your TP to a different rom ( I use ROMeOS 1.40.1, just like the rest of the world should , but no pressure )
Installing Live should'nt be a problem.
About the youtube thing : what hah2110 said is true.
hope this helps.

I'm using AT&T using the Fuze. I do agree with another comment I read concerning the difficult in using hotmail on a winmo device. It's kinda ironic. :\

Anyone else having problems with People, Weather, and Programs?

I'm using touchflo and the people, weather, and programs tabs aren't working at all.
Just wondering if there's something I need to download to fix this, cause I've looked everywhere and can't even find anything on this issue.
The people tab just has the + Add boxes but they're all non-responsive, same with the programs tab
The weather tab shows Add Location, *Downloading weather forecast data may incur additional data transfer fees from your provider.
Add location, and Settings don't do anything, and About brings up a website which says it doesn't exist.
I'm not sure whether this is something I have to activate with my phone company or if there's something to fix this.
The weather works if I uninstall touchflo and use the default UI.

Bump, need help still please

I too am having this issue so its not just u. Hope someone can help us out.

Hey i read I tryed this and it worked fro me. I hard reset my whole phone and then re-installed everything using these instructions and everything worked fine. Hope it works for u also.
