Does anyone have Windows Live working correctly on their Tilt or TyTn II????
UPDATE 01/15/2008
Ok I am resurrecting this issue as I still can not get any version of Windows Live to run reliably on my Tilt! Does anyone have a .cab install of WL (any version) that pushes Hotmail consistently????
Original Post:
I have been trying to get Windows Live working on my Tilt for the past 72 hours and I am totally stumped.
I have been able to sync my email, contacts and even log on to messenger, but for some reason Windows Live keeps getting stuck in the Checking Internet connectivity step on the sync screen. When I soft reset my Tilt, WL will keep saying Checking Internet connectivity until I force a send and receive. It then throws up a sync error (with no error message), but appears to successfully sync. Then it sometimes pushes email as it should for a few minutes, but then gets stuck in Checking Internet connectivity again.
I had this issue running the stock HTC ROM and austinsync's BigStorage w/ PIE fix ROM on my Tilt. I have used the At&t connection settings from HTC Connection Setup tool both Media Net (w/ and w/ out Proxy) and ISP.Cingular. I have also used a Cingular Network Cab file that I used with my 8525.
All other applications are getting internet connections no problem (including Live Search - the mapping program).
I have tried messing with the GPRS Always on Reg tweaks [ HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-}\Connections\|gprs connection name (my Isp/MediaNet} \AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal) ] , but that has not fixed the problem.
I have tried WL versions 10.6.0033.600 and 10.6.32.2100 along with whatever version came on the HTC stock ROM.
Does anyone have Windows Live working on their Kaiser??? If so, what Device, ROM, and Carrier are you using??
So no one has Windows Live working correctly on a Kaiser????
I have been using WL version 10.6.0033.600 on my Hermes with no problem at all. I even spent the last hour pouring over the registry of my 8525 and comparing it to the Tilt, but I could really use some help looking for a solution.
mines is working.. I'm using a Kaiser with BigStorage w/ PIE fix ROM with T-mobile service.. It was working with stock rom also.. I've used stock windows live and Windows Live 10.6.32.2100.. both worked fine.
So WL is working fine on T-mobile(US??). I am really starting to think this is an issue with the At&t network/proxy.
Anyone on At&t network have WL working correctly??
edit
By working correctly, I actually mean Pushing emails as they arrive. I am able to manually pull emails down, but I am trying to get the WL push email functionality working on the Tilt over At&t.
I am using build 10.6.32.2100 on AT&T with a Tilt and everything including push email is working for me. I am running the HTC ROM.

Did you use the HTC Connection Setup tool to configure your network settings, or enter them manually? Also, are you using the proxy or is it disabled?

If you look through these forums, there's a pretty long thread of people who have issues with their device not waking up to pull down emails.
In short, if you turned off your screen by tapping the side power button (instead of letting the screen turn off on its own), the device will not reliably wake up for either timed email pulls or push email.
I discovered this with push Hotmail - never had a successful push with the device manually hibernated, but push worked fine if the device was on.
I stopped using Windows Live because it had LOTS of issues when the device was in an area with bad/no coverage, it would make my Tilt EXTREMELY sluggish and unresponsive with that little color wheel appearing every few seconds if I had login information recorded and the phone was not in good coverage. Windows Live even pulled the phone out of flight mode to try and make a connection at least once, I wouldn't want that happening on a plane!
I let the network wizard setup the connection but edited the ISP connection to use the wap.cingular access point. Windows Live works for me with either the medianet w/ proxy or the isp connection
Yeah WL is definitely not the most reliable application to begin with, but I finally had it working like a charm with my 8525 runnning vp3G's ROMs.
Now on the Tilt I can't even get it to push email when the device is on and has a full connection.
The fact that WL is constantly stuck in the Checking Internet Connectivity step leads me to believe that there is some issue with WL opening up my Data connection on the Tilt. I have absolutely no issue connecting with PIE or Live Search.
Unfortunately I use Windows Live to manage all my emails and contacts, so I am pretty much stuck with trying to make it work on the Tilt or take it back.
I have the stock rom for the tytn 2, nothing altered, and my WL works without any problems when set as push mail and disdplay as full html format, if using it in hotmail, the ppc will default it to a simplified version.

Windows Live Search working fine on my Tilt reflashed to HTC on ATT
I am also having the problem with it grabbing my email as it comes in.

same here. no problems.
WL is not even letting me log on! It says my user name or password is incorrect and its not because I checked by logging on in hotmail.com on my desktop.
just to clarify, I am having connection problems with Windows Live, the hotmail/messenger application, NOT Live Search the mapping application available from wls.live.com .
I have been having much better luck with Push email coming through since using the Connection Setup tool again to reset my network settings and disabling the Media Net proxy. Hopefully this keeps up tomorrow.
is it possible to have window live to push FEW email accounts at the same time?

is this in the push mail message section, did you set it up manually or automatic?
either way it's won't work, even if you put in all the correct settings. You will need to go into the start/program then click the windows live icon and set up from there and have ticked the sync email, once completed setting, you will need to log into msn messager, then soft reset afterwards.
now window live hotmail should show up in the push mail section.
after many trys and error, i can confirmed it works for me.
hope this helps.

All I did was select the WL icon and then log on.
Im not sure what you mean by sync mail and so on.
Ive done this:
Start > programs > windows live (icon) > clicked on Sign in to Windows Live > Accept user agreement (I do) and then at the screen where I need to input my user and password I get the error about mismatched username and/or password.
The Options and Account options menus are grayed out (not able to select).
I get this error
Sign-in Failure
Either the user name or the password you entered is invalid. Please try again.

@CorruptedSanity
I metioned this in another thread, but are you sure you have the correct keypad layout?
For example if you have a Tilt and flashed an HTC Rom, your keyboard layout will not match the letters/symbols printed on your keyboard. The same would be true if you flashed a TyTn II with a Tilt Rom. You could check by typing your password into pocket Word and making sure it is correct.
The only other thing I can think of is to make sure your date and time is set correctly. Windows Live has some issues logging on if the date and time on your device do not match the WL Server.
What ROM are you running?
Did not flash my rom! Straight out of the box TyTN II (unlocked).
Ive been typing a whole lot and nothing seems out of place.
How do I know which time WL is on?
How do I check which rom im running?
I'm having a different problem to the standard 'Live not working' that I've seen here! I'm on T-Mobile in the UK so grabbed the latest Live cab and installed on my default ROM.
I've got two probs...
I can't get more than one folder to synchronise in Live?!?
Live ALWAYS uses the data connection even when my LAN is available
Firstly... push mail worked fine initially, but then I set up a couple of new folders on my Live inbox....and now it freezes every time it tries to sync over the data connection. I added the folders via web login, then went to 'manage folders' option on the phone and selected my new folders for synchronising. I've got it on manual sync these days as I don't like the 'always on' connection
Anyway, with a single Inbox folder, sync worked fine, now with three folders it ALWAYS freezes up with the progress icon spinning....if I look in the folder list view I can see the little sync symbol next to the new folders but it just fails. No error message, no info, it just sits there doing nothing (I checked GPRS monitor, it's really doing nothing
So secondly...Tried connecting wirelessly over my WLAN and no luck, the email sync still initiates the data connection. When I used the Live icon in the programs menu, WLAN sync will correctly use the available wireless connection, but the 'messaging' app in the phone ALWAYS defaults to the data connection.
Is this because its the same messaging service that supports SMS/MMS or something else?
Cheers for any thoughts, hope I'm being an idiot!!!
I have been having issues with Windows Live ever since upgrading from my Hermes to the Tilt. But I am still able to successful sync more than one folder (that is, if the WL syncs at all). I just added two new folders to sync, same process you followed, and despite WL giving me a "sync failed" message, they both synced fine.
I am using At&t running WL version 10.6.0033.0600 on austinsync's BigStorage Rom
As for the WL over WLAN, my experience has been, the only way WL will sync over WLAN is if there is no other data connection available. Try turning your phone off in the comm manager and seee if WL connects over WiFi then.
Ive been fiddling with the messenger on my diamond, and am having some problems.
It seems to connect ok, but it doesnt show any of my contacts up as online.
Then all of a sudden one contact will come online then go offline again.
And i cant chat at all - it says message could not be delivered.
It seems that my internet connection is not staying active all the time - is there a way to configure it so it does? Or doe anyone else have any ideas?
Im in Australia by the way on the Telstra network.
Thanks
ITs ok, i found the problem....

This comes from an HTC Blog with users trying to solve the problem, i'll paste just the comments:
hi, this link for download http://serre.f.free.fr/mobile/pocketpc_WLM.exe for my work fine.
The link above fixed my problem by checking my version and doing a upgrade.
This fixed it for me too. The file is actually an "official" Microsoft signed installer. Not knowing the website, I was a bit hesitant to install it but after running it, I found it was from Microsoft.
Thank you (Obrigado), I had been trying to download a fix from the htc home page with out luck. Your link worked perfectly well.

another alternative this comes directly from HTC site faq section... note that from all their faqs, there is a top ten faqs, and this stuff regarding messenger is at the top of the list of the top ten faq for HTC, this let you all understand how the problem is big and common (for those who use messenger for business).
"
When I use Windows Live Messenger, I cannot see any friends online.
First of all, please make sure that the clock's Home setting is correctly set to the date and time of your area. Then, make the Visiting area's date and time setting the same as the Home setting. When you are online in Windows Live Messenger, do the following: 1. Tap Menu > Change appearance. 2. Tap Menu > Account options. 3. Tap Switch account and login again."

Last there is another update file that comes directly from microsoft support center

Other people says that you have to delete all your contacts on the phone, storing them online on the sim, and then you have to switch your messenger account and reconnect.

-----SOLUTION 5
Well. I have the same issue. I discovered that problem is related to a conflict with another application I had installed; GoodLink service.

--------SOLUTION 6
this comes directly from a microsoft email for a user who asked how to solve the problem:
A. Re-synchronize your account.
You may need to reset your Windows Live account on your Windows Mobile-powered device by signing out and signing in again. To sign out, please refer to these instructions:
1. On your mobile device, tap "Start" and then select "Windows Live."
2. Tap "Menu" and then "Account Options."
3. Tap "Switch account."
4. You will be prompted to confirm account switching as this action will sign you out of Windows Live, preventing you from seeing your e-mail inbox. Tap "Yes" to continue.
5. You shall be redirected to the Terms of Use screen, an indication that you are already signed out of Windows Live.
To sign back in and re-synchronize your account:
1. Tap "Start" and then select "Windows Live."
3. Tap "Sign in to Windows Live."
4. Tap "Accept" on the Windows Live Terms of Use screen.
5. Enter your MSN or Hotmail e-mail address and its corresponding password.
6. Tap "Next."
7. Choose if you wish to have the Live Search bar or Windows Live services on your device's "Today" screen and tap "Next."
8. Choose if you wish to sync either Contacts and Messenger contact or e-mail (or both) with your mobile device then tap "Next" to continue.
9. Wait as your mobile device syncs with your Windows Live account. Tap "Done" when sync is complete.
10. Open Windows Live and check if you are now able to synchronize your account.
B. Verify the size and amount of folders in the inbox.
Please check if the contents are not too large. You may try to delete or archive some of your e-mails and see if this resolves the problem. Due to the carrier, signal strength and mailbox size, there appears to be a limitation.
C. Set up a new Windows Live account and try to reproduce the issue.
We would like to determine whether you are unable to synchronize Hotmail folders due to specific folder structure or contents by attempting synchronization again with empty or unaltered folders.
D. Install a hotfix.
You may also try fixing the problem by installing a hotfix found in this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/943824/en-us
The hotfix is originally intended for Windows Live Messenger (for Windows Mobile 6) contacts issues but there have been customers who were able to resolve Hotmail synchronization problems by installing the hotfix in their Windows Mobile devices.
E. Empty or re-arrange the contents of the inbox.
Try to remove all items from the inbox, delete them or place them in a folder that does not synchronize and try again. If other folders are enabled for synchronization, you will need to do the same with those folders as well or else disable synchronization for all folders except the inbox.
The steps above should help you fix this problem. If the issue persists, we want to continue assisting you until this is resolved. In order to investigate this further, please reply with the following information:
- What is the complete name and version of your mobile device?
- Do you have a Windows Mobile 6 or Windows Mobile 5 OS (Operating System) on your phone?
- Who is your carrier and where are you located?
- What is the MSN or Hotmail account that is experiencing this contacts issue?
- Does the same thing happen if you sign in to a different Hotmail account?
- What is the exact version of the Windows Live application on your device?
To get the version of your Windows Live application, please do the following:
1. On a Windows Mobile device, tap on "Start", and then select "Windows Live."
2. Once the Windows Live application opens, tap on the "Menu" (found at the bottom-right side) and the select "About."
You will be prompted with information similar to this:
Windows Live for Windows Mobile
Version:
10.6.0026.1400
Microsoft
We appreciate your continued support as we strive to provide you with the highest quality service available. Thank you for using Windows Live Mobile.

I have other "problem" regards to Windows Live.
Generaly it's working, but only with UINTERNET connection, and only if I define UINTERNET in the second connection in setting>>connection>>Connection.
It always connect to UINTERNET (or as define in the second connection)
but never to the main connection even while using WiFi..
I didn't find any setting to change this lame connection for Windows Live , Any idea ?
I think (I m not sure) due it trying to sync , so it needs "my work network" , but in fact
I sync to regular Outlook at work (Push mail) , and I need the Windows Live just for Messenger, and I don't need the email account (hotmail) to sync at all...( it in manual instead auto)
Windows Live version: 10.6.0039.1300
ROM: 1.93.456.2
RADIO: 25.05
Hey everyone,
I'm having trouble setting up an e-mail account on my Kaiser with AthineOS ME 3.0. After I set up an email account (Yahoo!), I do Send/Receive and a message pops up saying:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings."
I have GPRS set up (Tmobile). Everything using internet works perfectly fine PIE, Opera Mini, Weather updates, etc. I even tried Wi-Fi, but says the same error. Also tried a different ROM (Hyper Dragon III), still no luck. Spent all day trying to get this to work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

did you try the MMS/SMS setting tab...what are your settings? medianet, MyISP? I am sure the problem lies in there...is it one email account or several?
slawcop is quite right. i have this trouble when i update my roms. it's usually set to medianet, or something similar, you need to select your provider from the drop down box in the settings and you should be good to go.
I'm pretty frustrated by now, tried everything but i can't get it to work. Here's the thing:
When i came home from my holiday i tried syncing my diamond as it always has worked. It;s connected and all and i can see the device in mobile device center, i had to reenter the things i wanted to sync but well... so I did.
But now it wont sync, it gives the error 0x80004005 but looking into google doesnt help at all.
I need my calendar en contacts to sync, who can help
Simply uncheck the Calendar, Contacts, Email, Tasks settings in the ActiveSync options and that will force the phone to delete all synched content. Then re-check all those boxes and fresh copies of all the data will be downloaded. It appears something was corrupted on the phone, causing ActiveSync to fail.

Didn't work :-(
Thx for the reply, but it doesn't work. Indeed it seems like something is corrupted, i even tried a new rom but it doesn't work. My idea was to do a format on everything but all i can fiund is the info on how to go back to manufacturer and format nand....
Ho do i move along?
