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!!

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).

vista ou cannon

ok i have a leagal copy of vista from microsoft and you cannot install active sync, on trying to install lots of games i have for my pda and xda2`s will not allow the games to be installed unless active sync is installed any ideas to get round this problem?
im shocked that microsoft as not made it compatable with vista

To make your BA compatable with Vista download Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update from offsite.Choose the package?depending what OS you running - x86 or x64! And you will be able to sync all your contacts,data,programs...

Windows Mobile Device Center replaced Activesync in Vista.

I had the same problem, with the orginal Windows Mobil Device Manager which you get with vista you can only sync files, but nothing else.
You have to download Mobil Device Manager Beta 3, after installing this one you can make a full sync with your pda.
Greatz MonsyX

i did just that..but as soon as i plug in my BA sync center makes an error nd i get the close or debug window...whatever i do..it remains open nd u can browse and sync pictures but no contacts or installations...nd activesync on my BA wont connect..its always waiting for network!

if u use wm5 on your ba try this setting on your ba: start => settings => connections => usb to pc = and check "enabe advanced network functionaliity"
Greets MonsyX

thanks guys the update worked a treat on my xda2`s with helmi upgrade

its already enabled....i've been tweaking with setting for a month now (i've had vista for 2 months) nd i cant get it to work :S
i think there's some service in vista thats disabled or something..i just cant figure it out...btw...i also have office 2007 (outlook) if that helps...if anyone knows of something else that can sync my contacts with outlook plz tell me.
btw..helmi...u took the data backup prog from ur latest rom..where can i get it from?

Hello, you are sure you have e release version of vista?, because i sync my pda every day with my computer with the things i told here, you can try die delete the device from devicemanager and let the system find it with the new drivers form the mobil device manager beta 3.
After i istall the MDM3 my system find a new deivce and install it.
Somting is wrong with your system.
I use outlook 2002 on vista, it's a little bit buggy ( every startup it want make a new profil), but i have not a newer one.
Greets MonsyX

yeah i have the pre-release final version..build 6000...but it seems that there's something buggy with the installation...i'm gonna reinstall windows nd see wat happens.
thx.

Theres no such thing as a pre-release final version!
You have the final version which was released 30th November 2006 to large companies, and to the general public on the 30th January 2007.

i have the final version...but i got it before nov30....which makes it pre-release...anyways its the same windows....the final build...nd thats not the point of my question!
anyone knows anything abt the backup program that used to come with helmi's rom?

just as a reminder, this tool will not let u restore the backup on different version of wm5.
say you backup on aku3.2, then u upgrade to aku3.5, the restore would not work.
ActiveSync is a better tool to backup contacts, calendar ......

[offtopic]
OK i will say to everyone that official presentation of vista and office2007 is after few hours, so comments like i have vista from microsoft legally are just ridiculous, and the ridiculous part is not that someone have it, but that this someone do not know how to connect hes pocketpc to it. Only people that have vista before the official launch are large OEMs and Small group of beta testers which recieved thir copies as reward of beta testing. These are the two legal ways of having vista.
[/offtopic]

I got mine through the Beta program. It wasn't released on 30th November by the way, its original release was 8th November to MSDN subscribers.
/ontopic - I do however have a lot of problems with the Sync Center and my BA. I've not actually got it to sync properly yet on RTM.

Has anyone got any thoughts on the new system? Does the ActiveSync replacement:
1) allow more than one device to be connected?
2) avoid duplicate items?
Cheers!

Offtopic:
@Biohead: yeah i forgot about MSDN subscribers you are right, but I am mad about that everyone claims that they have licensed vista and they are not MVP's, MSDN Subscribers, Technical Beta Testers or OEM's, why they are trying to lie, i was in the beta test, i have tested every version provided on connect, and i have not recieved a copy of vista, maybe guys who provided more bugs had copys. whatever i will buy it maybe after SP1 because it really needs a lot of patching. Vista is not what it was promissed to be(look at longhorn demos a way back and you will understand what i mean)
Ontopic:
I have problems with it too, The first time it syncs fine, after that it does not work at all or crash upon connecting.The temporary Fifx for this is remove the WMDC and reinstall it. I think it is not BA specific issue it is all WM device specific one. How we can not have problems with activesync under XP?

i dont know how valid this is right now...since vista is already out...but here's proof that my version is genuine...
i could send u pics of the intallation cds if u want!
anyway...all i needed to know is whether the sync center was buggy or not...nd it seems that i'm not the only one with this problem....btw...a simple solution to this problem would be to install TinyXP on a Vmware workstation nd sync ur BA on that...its a hassle...but it works.

Remember, Sync Center IS STILL IN BETA!!!

BlackBerry Application Suite for Windows Mobile 6

Does anyone have a link for this download? I have the new AT&T Tilt working with BB Connect, but cannot find the download to the BlackBerry Application Suite for Windows Mobile 6.

Don't think the app suite is released as of yet.

Why would you want blackberry suite?

As mentioned above, the Blackberry Application Suite does not exist. Its never been released. not sure if it ever will be.
But if you are looking for Blakcberry Connect for WM, that does exist. See my post on this thread. And in the future, you might try searching some.

HI, I have been battling with BBC against to our BES due to policies and I heard from a very reliable source that the product will be ready for our deployment Q32008... So its is coming and I think will support the encryption etc and will be support friendlier since the interface is a propiraty BB interface. Plus, there aren't many security risks around virus etc since it will be a virtaul application suite that supports any BB application and doesn't integrate to VM mail client etc.... So, you can have your WM as a standalone OS once you minimize the BAS... These are great benefits for enterprise adoption and really simplifies the risks around the device support when compared to BBC running on any WM device (or symbian etc)...

as of 2009, it hasnt been released. At least its been showcased and that bring a hope for it to be soon.

it been 2 years since when RIM Compeny said they gonna release it but they haven't released it yet!

its a vaporware.. playing on our patience...
it would make WM so much more powerful... and blackberry so much more popular... when will the two organisations ever realise it?

sms from pc through mobile phone ?

Hello ppl,
As motorola phone tools and nokia phone suite does with their respective brand phones/roms, does anybody know a software to send sms (would be nice if it could read sms from the phone, too) through wm6 or wm6.1 ?

I use Outlook. You can send them from Outlook. Unfortunately, it wont accept them though.

Thank you !!

if you have a tilt then you can do it with at&t's communication manager... but i think it's more for if you want your PC to use your phones 3G internet connection...

Jeyo Mobile Extender is good too...
