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.

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.

Oh and thanks to whoever posted the attachment for the PPC version its great I love the voice clips and being able to see people's display pictures.

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).
Hi guys, looking for some pointers with this one.
Having usefully used Terminal Services on the TyTN to remote support Windows machines while out in the field, I've upgraded to the Kaiser only to find that not only is the improved Remote Desktop Mobile from WM6 not included in the build, but neither is the previous Terminal Services Client. This is a major problem for me as I don't want to have to carry two devices with me (never mind 2 SIMs and contracts!)
Having searched around it seems that Microsoft decided not to make the inclusion of Remote Desktop Mobile madatory in the build, but to offer it as an option to carriers and manufacturers. It also seems that this is something which none of the carriers has opted for - and definitely not Vodafone UK as in my case.
This really has crashed a major downer onto the otherwise brilliant bit of gear which is the Kaiser.
Has anyone any access to the RDM app for installation onto the Kaiser, or, failing that, an "easy" way to port the old TSC from the TyTN?
Try this... this is a remote desktop prog. for PPC on WM6 devices
Its available in the thread where all cabs are located (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438), following the big link there will point you to the wm6 remote desktop cab (http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/WM6_RemoteDesktop.cab)
Thanks guys, brilliant work and saved me loads of gief.
(BTW - I did search across the site but couldn't anything - I'll make sure I try harder next time!)
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.

Yes. Today. 3.0
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?

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.
Hello again,
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I’m due to upgrade my handset in the coming weeks from an N95 to the Touch Diamond (MDA Compact 4)... I have some really good apps on the N95 which I rely on a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew of any WM6.1 alternatives to the following apps...
Nokia Internet Radio
http://europe.nokia.com/A4668051
Hundreds of streaming radio stations over WiFi or HSDPA
Shazam ID
http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/page/default/template/pages/p/shazam_id.html
Music track identification - the app records a sample of the track and tells you the name and artist via data connection WiFi or HSDPA.
Nokia Sports Tracker
http://www.nokia.com/A4388200
GPS Tracking of my sports activity (running / cycling etc) routes viewable in google earth via KML file.
Nokia Conversation
http://www.nokia.com/A4568203
View text messages listed by contact as opposed to going to inbox and sent items separately
I've already checked my other key apps:
Shozu
JoikuSpot
Route 66
And they all appear to support HTC devices such as the Cruise and the Kaiser etc, so I should be ok there.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated - not sure if i should of used a different forum for this really.... if a mod feels ti should be moved please go ahead
Garry
1) the original wm 6.1 text messaging shows you both the send and received at the same time and you can also see them while you r typing so you could reply back to the received questions
2) there is also a program for internet radio on the htc, i have used it and it is perfect. it think it is spb radio. check it out
Excellent, thats a good start Thanks!
Anyone have any alternatives to Shazam and Sports Tracker?
Alternative for sportstracker is RUNGPS
Ah sweet! Thanks lappie!!
after some searching i found tthese....theres probably better ones but the results looked promising:

Another nice Symbian application is Nokia's Lifeblog, overall due to its ability to get synchronised with the PC client... Is there any equivalent in the PPC world?

We do a lot of geocaching and having Geocache Navigator installed on the N95 is great (when a phone signal is present of course) to find cache's close by or check on cache details without having to take printed pages along. It will also guide you via a compass and bearing to the Lat Long location of the cache...
Any apps specifically for geocacher's that will interact with the geocahce web site / data base ?
cheers
Shazam ID works on Diamond
I have Shazam ID working on the Diamond. One problem.... I have to reset the Diamond each time I use the program. For some reason it will not shutdown properly because it is not made for a touch phone. Maybe someone knows how to use it better???

the version you are using (musidid) looks like absolute crap on the VGA screen. very distorted. Its so sad there is no decent version of shazam on windows mobile - I used to use it all the time.

Tried with ForceHires?
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.

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.
