Newbie here
I have just gotten the AT&T Tilt.
It seems to be working fine overall, however when I am trying to connect to MSN (Live) Messenger through a WiFi connection, it apparently is not allowed, as it says "cannot connect via WiFi connection)...? Is this normal? Is there ANY way to get arround this? I just don't know if I'll keep the PDA plan forever and it would be easier for me to just connect via tha WiFi wherever available.
Thanks in advance.
(I did a search already and did not see any posts regarding this so I assumed no one has this issue...or cares...?

I have the Kaiser (very similar to the tilt) and Messenger works just fine against WiFi. What version do you have?
I was fairly certain the AT&T ROM for the Tilt removed Live messenger.. did you download it from thread on here or something?
The att ROM did remove windows live all together. You would need to install it. I have a feeling he is trying to use the OZIM program which doesn't use data, it uses text messaging. So when you are connected to Wifi it won't connect.
hmm...actually I didn't download/install anything onto the phone yet. It is an AT&T Tilt with no mods (yet)...and when i hit "instant messaging", it has the three messenger programs as icons (AOL, MSN or Live, and Yahoo).
If I do want to install it, where can I go to get it and would that installed version also be using TXTMessaging or data?

I have a Unlocked Wing with no service provider. I pretty much use it to go on the net and read emails via wifi. I also have a samsung t509 with tmobile and tzones. I have been trying to get my wing to use my samsungs GPRS via bluetooth so I can check my emails with out being at a wifi access point, but I have had no luck with this. I have tried just about everything. Any tips? The reason I dont just use the wing is because I work 80-120 ft in the air and I dont want to bring a phone that expensive up there (If anyone was wondering). Any help would be much appreciated.

Well you can always get a cell phone chain and connect it to the bottom left corner.
That works but the weather still kills phones (Rain, Snow...). Thanks for pointing out the obvious and not helping with a solution though!
Got a little bit of a bizzarre one, when i install BBC (Blackberry connect) to my kaiser (both BIS and BES) the device will function fine, but as soon as i use the email setup wizard it messes things up.
The email connection wizard is using internet explorer.
After i exit this, my internet explorer get confused and wont work!
I try viewing a web page and it pretends to look, but does nothing. i refresh it says complete but does nothing.
Yet ive installed opera mobile and mini, both work ok, getting a data connection at the same time as the blackberry is not an issue.
But i cant figure for the life of me why this email set up wizard has killed my explorer.
I could uninstall blackberry and start again, but my IT department wont be chuffed if i request my BES password again for the third time in a week!
If anyone knows of a way to make the internet explorer work again that would be great!
same issue
Got the same issue - think it might be an issue with the BBC software itself. I tried to view a company internal website - which I think tried to use the BB web browsing connection + hey preso IE doesnt' work anymore.
Exactly the same symptoms - IE pretends to look for a site but returns nothing. Marvellous - glad to hear Opera works - just downloading it now.
John.
I've got BBC (bis) and internet working fine on my Tytn II.
Do you have a seperate data contract for the internet. I think that the connection that bbc sets up is just for emails.
Mind you I only have a BIS account.
So my Blackberry connection is more or less permanently connected and my emails come through as and when. If I then load IE the phone will attempt to connect to my contract internet data connection (should wi-fi not be available) and surf the web.
This all works ok, check your settings for IE to see what connection its using for surfing.
Cheers
I may sound like a newb but here goes, how do i turn my tilt into a wifi router so i can connect such things as my psp, xbox360, etc. to the internet? Ive read and everyone says theres a program on the phone to do this but i dont see this great program. Im using dutty's newest rom apr 01 and not seeing this wifi router program/app anywhere. Is there a cab for this? Anyone know how to connect such devices to the internet using my phone? I have the unlimited data plan through att. Thanks!

Hello pulyka, I have this program installed on my Tilt, but my laptop doesn't see the Tilt's wifi connection when the program says its connected.
Am I missing something?

You aren't the only one. I've never been able to get it to work on my Tilt, when I used to use it all the time on my Mogul.
I hear now this program costs money. If no guarantee for tilt compatibility, can refunds be granted if it doesn't work?
I must say that the IT manager at my job has this program installed on his Tilt and it works fine. He actually used it in a meeting the other day when the main signal was too weak.
He is just so busy that I haven't been able to have him check out my phone, to see what is the problem. So there is some hope for Tilt owners and WMWIFIRouter.
Worked fine on my Tilt running Sleuth 3.0 Rom.
Try the earlier version, it is still free and it works fine (just a little less polished).
I tried the WMWiFiRouter .91 once. My tilt took too long to connect to the ad hoc network so I stop using it. I think that's the problem. You have to wait until your phone to connect to the network before the router starts working.
I have had a few issues with my windows live and i am wondering if anybody can help me. I recently downloaded windows live and i am able to syncronize everything and log onto my messenger via wifi or activesync but not able to through GPRS. I dont know if i may have downloaded the wrong .cab file or havent done something to make it work. I would appreciate any help regarding this subject.
thanx in advance
Here is a Windows Live version wich has been fixed by one of our forum members.
This fixed version allows you to use WLM via GPRS, And it'll be displayed on the home screen. Properly i mean
Excellent thank you im going to xfer it to my phone and see what outcome i get. Thank you very much.
Well i have tried to apply the appication and it did go through however i tried to access Windows Live throught the GPRS but it is only able to access through wifi and activesync... I'm thinking the reason why is because i dont have the T-mobile internet i have the proxy settings and t-zones. i am still able to access any website but not able to get the windows live to work properly... im stumped.
hi guys i just added the unlimited web browsing option with o2 on my diamond as we moved into a new flat and we dont have braodband yet.
o2 said i cant use my phone as a modem though, they dont allow you to connect to the net via your computer. i think she meant if i put the sim card into a usb modem.
But im wondering can anyone confirm whether or not i will be charged extra for syncing my diamond to my laptop and using the phone as my modem??
thanks
anyone?.....................
I don't see how they would know?
Other than the excessive downloading...
hey,
i do this all the time and they never know. do you have unlimited web on phone?
You can indeed connect your phone to your pc and use it as a modem to access the internet. When you connect your phone to your pc you should have the option to choose "internet sharing" mode which allows this. However although i have an XDA Ignito I am running a cooked rom and i'm not sure if "internet sharing" is available as an option on the standard o2 rom. Either way if you do have that option it wont cost you anything as long as you keep within the fair usage policy.
thanks guys, i basically used it yesterday and checked my charges today and no extra charges so all seems ok. i have the unlimited web, run a cooked rom with the internet sharing option on a diamond so works fine and is actually quite fast!
i think you are right if you use it a lot to download films etc they will find out, shame but never mind hopefully sky will hurry up and install our BB soon
Thanks again for the help!
