windows live messenger. so flaky - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I installed the 10.6.34.800 build of messenger. Im using 3 network in UK. installed WLM and the Indentify as N95 cab. used to connect fast and reliable.
lately its been pain in the a$$ to connect, it connects to HSDPA, the 3g icon changes to H but then that damn busy icon just spins until it timesout.
I flash new roms on it all the time, so always installing WLM and apps. the first few times after flashing are fine, then it grinds to a halt.
I wonder if there is some file created thats jamming it or some cache file ?
other apps work fine. IE, beyondfeed, google maps,
i would blame the 3 network, but Ive installed IM+ and it connects first time, everytime to msn network, so now Im blaming this $hit WLM. When its in this mood, it wont sync either. sticks at checking internet connectivity , after it goes to H.
has anyone having / had the same carry on ?
TIA

Happens to me too. It always seems to work really well after installing it but then fades.

i had problems with live messenger also, couldn't sync or retrieve my emails, i contacted ms support and they told me that this happens sometimes for no reason. it will work perfectly for a while then nothing. i was told to sign out and then sign back in. doing this works everytime for me.

Have you tried BeeJive? http://www.beejive.com/wm6/

3 sometimes block Live Messenger, depending on what tariff or contract you have at the time. For example if you buy the £5 Internet Browsing bundle, as part of the terms of the bundle Live Messenger is blocked. I've found some of the third party softwares have the same problem with working for awhile then breaking.
A way round the problem is to setup a proxy on your home PC, but this isn't really ideal unless anyone knows of a way of proxying Live Messenger only and not Internet Explorer.

thnx, I tried only WLM and IM+ . I'll stick with IM+ until I change to O2 or find an answer. When it played up again today, I disconnected data in comm manager and put on wi-fi. It connected in seconds on wi-fi, then when I put off wi-fi and 3g back on, it connected again instantly.
its back again to sticking this evening. IM+ works ok on w-fi and 3g, WLM connects on wi-fi only unless I get lucky and keep playing about with comm manager by disabling/ enabling data and wi-fi.
i am on 3 payg for £5 a month, so it could be part of the problem. I know, before, it point blank refused to connect on 3 until I used the Identify as N95 cab.
would love to know what's causing it.

That's the problem that's been reported in other forums/posts, if you stick an orange sim in or use Wi-FI the Live Messenger works without fail (well, almost) but as soon as you use the Three sim it keeps playing up.
The fact that you can connect via Wi-Fi, disconnect and connect straight away via GPRS/3G makes it seem like all they do is block the DNS from resolving? If so it'll be a stupidly easy fix. I've heard it's some setting in the SIM that Live Messenger looks for though, which would be much harder to break.

Connection issues on T-Mobile UK... POSSIBLY solved!

OK so i've been tearing my hair out with annoying connection problems on my Kaiser....
I've just noticed that in ActiveSync (which i had to re-install due to conflicts with some god-damned Apple mobile software!) the option to "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" WASN'T ticked..
<see screenshot>
Now i'm assuming that this means, if i was connected via USB (which my phone is, while im at my desk) then it would block 3G/GPRS/HSDPA activity on my phone!?!
Although it's been sporadic... this is the only thing i can think of.... i've now ticked the option and it SEEMS to be better.. but im not 100% convinced...!
Update (for anyone that has been getting similar connection issues... or cares!)
Connections seem 'OK' when im back at home (although im in a poor reception area, it still connects and syncs my mail etc).
Now that i'm back in the office (Central London) i get full bars... but it's like it's not actually connected... if i try to sync my hotmail account, or connect to Messenger... it randomly wont connect... then eventually will :S
Same thing with the phone reception... randomly goes to the ! icon.....
God knows why it's doing this

Connection hanging

I've been using my Hermes and now my Kaiser on my T-Mobile Web'n'Walk connection (same SIM). I have the GPRS connection on all the time, and push email working, but randomly (sometimes after a short time, sometimes after a few hours) the connection seems to be dead.
The G indicates that it's still connected, vxUtil pings to www.google.co.uk works, but nothing else works (syncing, web browsing, etc). This is really strange and turning the connection off/on doesn't fix it - I have to actually put it in flight mode and re-enable the phone (which gets irritating quickly).
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Just want to add that IE shows "Locating..." (which I assume is the DNS lookup) and then "Opening..." and just gets stuck there... while ActiveSync just keeps spinning forever and gives up after a while. Ping still works.

It doesn't seem to be related to reception... I could be sitting at my desk with full reception and it would just stop working randomly. If there's low reception I would expect the connection to re-establish itself after I get better reception.
The most weird thing is that PING works but not the actual data transfers.
I've had this problem with my Vodaphone 1615. I work in a rural area and cannot get above 2 bars in my office. I have used Kaiser Tweaks to change the registry so that the connection drops when it isn't being used. This isn't ideal as it takes a few seconds to reconnect every time I want to use the data connection but at least it doesn't hang. Before I was soft-resetting to reset the connection which takes a lot longer.
@doody
I have exactly the same problem with my intenet connection when i use PocketCM Keyboard!
Without PocketCM Keyboard the Intenet Connection works very fine.
Are you use PocketCm Keyboard?

Hmm interesting, but I don't have PocketCM keyboard, and I've never installed it before!
i have the same issue with t-mobile. (uk)
very annoying when using gps tracking software. i think i had it with my last win mob phone so it's not kaiser specific.

I've had it on my Hermes and now my Kaiser. I'm wondering whether it's a T-Mobile specific problem?
certainly seems like it could be our network.
I have the same issue with T-Mobile NL.
After a 1 hour connection the connection stops and must be restarted.
Sometimes I must even do this by stopping and starting the Phone in CommManager.
Not sure if this is related but i have had a few messages pop up saying that i need to end the current call to connect to the internet (something like that).
The strange thing is, no call was in progress. Weird.
I've seen a similar problem, I think. I'm soo new to the this data on the move milarky (I'd probably still be on dial up if I wasn't such a game nut) that I wasn't sure if it was human error, but sometimes the icon would show E with the arrows and neither explorer or google maps mobile would seem to be to connect. A soft reset would resolve the problem.
I'm on O2 btw.
same problem here
I've noticed the same problem when i'm on a bus or a car, listening to streaming radio or using google maps. connection hangs every 20-30 min. but I still can see the "E" with four bars. Sometimes it appears to happen when I receive an e-mail or SMS
It happens also when i'm not moving, but it' less common
Do you think this is a netwok thing? It's very annoying for me to disconnect-reconnect while on the road...
thanks

Anyone on AT&T having internet problems ?

Well for a week now my internet connection has been bad. Youtube don't work, can't download any files but i can surf the web just fine. Has At&t put a block on downloading or whatever ?
I would suggestcompleting your user profile to that other members have an idea of where you are located (or give that info in the post).
I'm in Northern Illinois and don't have any issues.
I'm in Utah and haven't had any noticeable problems. I'm trying to replicate your problem to no avail....

where are you located, i'm outside st. louis and i don't have any bad problems, once in a blue moon my 3g won't connect, some error about the remote party ended the connection, but that takes a quick reboot on my PIE and it's good
I'm in the Dallas Texas area and have had intermittent internet issues ever since the Tornadoes went through last week.
No noticable problems here in Memphis. Once in a while, a page not found comes up in Opera, but a reload usually gets it the next time. I should also add that downloading works fine for me.
Cincinnati Ohio, is having edge problems due to 3g upgrades in outlying areas around Cincinnati, When 3g upgrades are being done it effects the edge network. The 3g upgrade takes approx a week, and I a as regional technician for AT&T am always fighting this issue so be calm. DAMMIT you made me sound like a HTC spokesperson....."we are currently working on the issue" HA AH AH
Detroit,
and yes, issues for a few days, they were upgrading Edge to 3G around me though, (about time!! woohoo!!) and I had funky issues for the last few days, but normal now.

I'm located in Orlando,fl. The main problem is when I try to watch a youtube video using TCMCP or downloading a file, it drops the connection. Basically downloading and buffing problems.

download kaiser tweak and set your internet to enable more connections, that usually works with the buffering issues

Will give it a try and report back.
All good here
No issues here in Detroit MI
I've had issues for at least a week now. I'm also in Dallas, TX. No rhyme or reason or way that always works to fix it either. Sometimes i can go to Comm Manager, turn off date connection, then open IE and it works. Then sometimes that doesn't work at all. It's getting extremely frustrating! Emails won't download, RSS hub can't connect, no IE, no Google Maps, ugh! hope they fix it soon. what data plan are you on btw?
I have had issues in Milwaukee the last couple days in the evening where it would show a data connection but would not send or receive data for hours. reboots didnt fix it during those times either
Miami, Florida
All good here, no dropped connections whatsoever using Edge and 3G.
Guess you can add me to the list. Live in Irving, but work in Dallas. Same issues and same time-frame. Also, I am on PDA Max.
Still having the same problem, At&t said there's no issues in my area. Started on Monday, maybe updating there network or something. Hate paying for something that's not working right.

I'm having problems too. GPRS issues mainly. I'm on MediaNET using wap.cingular.
Well my billing period just started, now everything is working find. Maybe I used too much data? Do At&t have a cap on unlimited?
no they dont have a cap, but you get charged after 5gb of data.
I couldn't send MMS all saturday, i'm in central texas, so i called customer support and turned out they were updating the servers or something like that and people in texas were experiencing data issues, but everythings working now.

Has anybody had this problem with their data connection?

I've tried several radios and none of them have fixed the problem. Even when I have full bars in an HSDPA area, the first time I connect using Facebook or Opera or try to update weather or check my email, the icon shows I'm connected but apparently I'm not because I'm unable to download data. If I disconnect and then reconnect, it works perfectly the second time. If I keep it connected, it continues to work without a hiccup. I only have the problem when I connect for the first time after a few hours of being disconnected. I don't leave it connected all the time because it torches my battery. This quirk seems weird to me. I hope somebody has experienced this and can help me fix it.
I'm on AT&T and have the Tilt.
I have had this problem in certain areas. Near Dulles, VA, Greenville, SC, and a few other semi-major towns. I have no clue why it does this. I usually end up turning off 3G and going GSM only. Then I don't have that issue. Granted I loose the high speed connection, but it just has so much trouble in those areas. I have even tried multiple radios to no avail.
proxy server
If you have ATT, you need to remove the hidden proxy after disconnecting your data connection, then start an internet accessing program. The cab can be found under your windows directory.

[Q] Strange data issue

Hi
A few days ago I started experiencing a strange issue that I just can't resolve.
Certain apps and accounts, i.e. Facebook, email, playstore, Google, Flip board etc. simply will not load/refresh/sync over mobile network. However, I can still browse the Internet using various apps (chrome, stock browser). With Spotify, I can stream music but am unable to download. There is no issue with the data connection as I am getting 'H' or '3g' and showing decent stats on Speed test. I have no issues at all over Wifi - everything works perfectly.
It's as if something is preventing apps from syncing/refreshing over the network but not affecting Internet access.
I have an unbranded device with a sim only Talk Talk deal.
Kitkat 4.2.2
4.12.401.11
I'm going to do a hard reset next but wondered if there was another solution.
Any ideas?

At work we had a phone that did not want to sync email on 3G. (Perhals other apps, we did not check.)
It turned out his phone was roaming on 3G, and the email client was set not to push mail when roaming.
I think the guy had bad signal on its own network on this location and so the phone was roaming.
He could still use his browser and many other apps without any problems.
Maybe it has nothing to do with your problem but I thought I should post it.
Because it sure has many things in common, also in this example on WIFI everything would work fine.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Thanks for that, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a roaming issue.
I've just factory reset the device, completely wiped everything. Tries to log into Facebook and the same thing happened. Switches to WiFi and it worked straight away.
I tried forcing the mobile data to only use WCDMA. This actually seemed to resolve the problem temporarily and I was able to update Facebook however it soon reverted to how it was and I was unable to sync email, update Facebook or download on Spotify unless over WiFi.
I'm wondering if it's the Sim card or possibly a problem with the phone but I'm struggling to understand (albeit with limited knowledge) how this strange behaviour could be hardware related...
