Windows LIVE Messenger 5 (Beta)

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).

Windows Live Messenger on WM6?

Forgive me if this sounds stupid, believe I've done a lot of search before asking =/
anyway here it goes:
After flashing the ROM posted in the sticky "Herald MODDing for newbs" I can't find my MSN messenger anywhere. Now I can only use the web version! Where can I get it back? Is a .cab or something out there?
Oh, and, I can't figure out how to use touchflo as well. I tried wiping the screen from bottom to top a LOT times. Nothing happened. Everything else worked, tho, like picture viewer or finger-scrolling.

Here is a zip wich includes the Windows Live Messenger installation CAB file.
Just install it on your device and your done. The settings you need to work through are very easy.

Installation completed with no problem. But..
It doesn't matter whether I'm on wi-fi or GPRS, when I try to sign in it says "Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet Connection." and blah blah blah. Asking me to check my connection settings. Well, IE worked fine. I can surf. So what's going on?

Thx
Thanks been looking for this
Works great on my wing
Have my msn mail on mail lits
next thing i need it how to auto check names on mms works on sms

never mind. I googled aggressively and found that it was an older version of software conflicting with Windows Live Mobile. It was called CE Star. The newest version does not have the connection problem.

Im glad to help you guys. Want anymore cabs ??

I'm glad that you were able to resolve your issue with the Windows Live Mesanger but unfortunately im unable too. I am able to connect via WiFi but im not able to connect GPRS, are you able to connect w/o WiFi? If so, do you have a .cab file or a website that you can direct me too. Any help on this issue would be great. Thanx

It still does not work for me

After uninstall ce-star, I had same problem:
I setup both wi-fi and bluetooth dialup through my cellphone. Even when wi-fi is connected, windows live insist on dialing through bluetooth. And the worst of it, it will keep on dialing until soft reset and nothing else can stop it.
Any idea?
Thanks

Latest Windows Live and Search CAB - Updated 5/15/08 - Live Search 3.0

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.
UPDATE 5/14/08 - Latest versions of all Live programs, and bundled installers here:

Jesus...is MS EVER going to update the Live search...i've been using the same one forever now w/ no updates at all...

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?

I have a at&t tilt and I am having problems with live search recognizing my gps on com4. Any ideas why?

Thanks a bunch!

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.

Thanks for your response. If i install another rom, will i lose all my existing settings/programs/ and contacts?
And also where can I get other roms from? (Sorry to sound stupid, but just like to be double sure).
Thanks in advance!!1

Also no RPD build-in for me!!
Just install thisone, work perfect

Okay I have this installed on my diamond and have a few questions.
Im remoting onto a vista laptop, Im connecting okay.. however no matter what I set in the remote desktop mobile options, I cannot see any mapping for my handheld device to transfer files. Ive tried My Computer, Ive tried Network.. nothing. Why? Any advice?
Secondly, the pocketnow video demonstrating remote desktop mobile being run on the diamond in landscape mode. I see no option for this.. how can it be done?
Thirdly, if you run remote desktop mobile in full screen you seem to lose access to the disconnect button and SIP. Any suggestions?

The CAB file works great for me, but it's not possible to access the telephone's memory through the explorer on the remote machine, like described here: http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=5454
So it's not possible to get music from home for example... Does anyone know, why? Of course it's possible to put the requested files into a apache-folder and download it using opera, but thats not the best way.

I didn't see the message from "darthbane2k", but my questions are the same

I'm guessing the CAB file on the previous page is an older version with less features. Parhaps one from WM6, not WM6.1?

+1 for someone who would like the cab file for the latest-and-greatest Remote Desktop client for WM6.1
..am currently looking at two Diamonds (my now TLR2-based test unit and my 1.37.401.3-based stock production unit) and neither have it installed, however I do vaguely remember seeing it a while back on he test unit which originally was a HK import and thus old ROM. Guessing now removed (in some markets at least)?
Cheers.

Nope.. I definately have the new version as the allow device mapping is in the options. Even when ticked, I still cannot see my mapped device when connecting to a remote computer (Vista home premium)

It works fine on my diamond, both within the LAN as well as per 3G. However is there a possibility to get keyboard to be able to enter things as well?

Yup, it's plain WM6, not 6.1.

WM6.1 RDP
It did not work for me either.
So I started a petition on this blog http://max.zamorsky.name/2008/11/04...bile-into-touch-diamond-and-all-current-roms/ to collect comments as a means to persuade HTC and Microsoft to include RDP in every ROM by default.
They seem to misunderstand who their lead-users are...
Please comment to help me make our lives easier.

Windows Live Messenger (any work version?)

Guys,
I've been searching this for a long time. but still not able to get a working one.
do you guys have any cab?
Regards,
Can

mmmmm...
are you looking for just windows live, or specifically the cab with the IM client included?

looking for Messenger.. IM
even I download the live package without IM, I still not able to sign in Live..

Re:
hmmm.... im not sure if you mean that the file wont install correctly, or after you enter your login information it just wont connect.
i had problems with the latter (although im using the non-IM version) and it turned out to be a proxy issue. i ran a disable proxy cab and reinstalled windows live and it worked fine.
if you cant find the remove hidden proxy or windows live (fixed) cabs (alltheway's or p1tater's 4share downloads in their signatures), i think i have it somewhere?

first try disabling the proxy, then try flashing a new radio.

finally, I solved the problem!!!
I changed my font perviously, by installing another font, then I can use WLM now !!!
hopefully, this may help someone in future.
