Windows Live syc problem

Hey,
I'm using t-mobile uk I can't seem to sync windows live? I've flashed lots of roms and still have the same problem? It just says sync failed reconnecting. When I initially put my password and it gets my emails and contacts it works fine. But when I try to sync using messaging on my ppc or if I sync from the today plugin it just fails!
anyone have a solution for this? I've tried to turn off the proxy on t-mobile still no luck
log into messenger first, then either sync your windows live or send recieve in windows live email. I think there is an authentication issue with windows live that gives the sync failed everytime. but if you are logged into messenger it bypasses the authentication process as you are already logged into the system and it lets you sync your email.
Microsoft have been made aware of this issue and have yet to come up with a way of fixing the problem. personally i think its an ms network error not a phone or software error
Cool i'll give it a go. it used to work before! wonder what they did...
i´m with the same problem, i used to work fine with msn and windows live but in these past days doesnt seems to work connection failed... don't know wasuppp lol anyone know a good msn aplication? tried fring and ebuddy but didnt like much...

[Q] Multiple and shared googlecalendar

Hello everyone,
i´m new with my lumia 920 and had an ascend p1 with android before. With android it was easy to sync my google calendars an the shared one with my girlfriend. But with wp8 there seems to be no way? Tried several workarounds with m.google.com/sync or syncselect and even those with deactivating java and faking ios5....and so on...nothing worked..
Is there a way how to sync multiple calendars from google to wp8 ? Some say yes some no..so what
Greeting!
it was possible a month ago. now is not possible. u cannot do this not even in windows 8 anymore.
This is thanks to Google dropping EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocoll support for their own CalDAV implementation (CardDAV for contacts as well). Microsoft has to now implement that protocoll in Windows Phone and Windows. Until then, you can not sync.
okay, thx for response...
The only way to get the shared calendar is to link my girlfriends gmailacc with my phone and deactivate contact and mailsync...
Let´s hope that MS implements the protocol soon!

[Q] Configuring Gmail account on WP8

Hi,
I've read several news about google droping support for Active Sync.
Apparently it the deadline was yesterday 31st of July.
I've activated a WP8 device today, and I can't sync Gmail accounts.
I'm extremely frustrated with Microsoft and Google. We users are suffering for their wars...
Anyway, anyone has a workaround?
Waiting until the GDR2 update is not an option, as we got branded devices and may take months until it arrives...
Thanks in advance.

Good tip! Yeah, the Google ActiveSync server can be configured as any other ActiveSync service (which is how the phone communicates with Exchange) would be; it just requires you to configure it manually a bit.
Also, you can use IMAP to access you Gmail instead, if you want to (or if they shut off the service).
Finally, there's always the option of telling Google to get stuffed, setting up a new email account that you can sync on the phone, and setting rules in Gmail to
A) automatically forward all your mail at the gmail account to your new account
B) automatically send a reply to all mail you receive on your gmail account telling people to use the new address.
Hi,
I managed to make it work.
What I did was the following:
. enable IMAP on the Google account.
. disable threading view on the mobile.
They started working now.

[Q] Lumia 928 and Mail Error 80004005

Hello guys,
I have a Lumia 928 which is experimenting issues after some days ago specifically with Yahoo email.
Error is 80004005, it does not sync and download the emails.
I have tried deleting the account , setting it again as yahoo, as "Other email", writing manually IMAP servers and ports, but the problem still continue, I even restarted the phone, but everything continue in the same way.
I have read some info related to this error, but apparently it come for several reasons, so weird. In reality and there is no one solution for this error in the phone, i have seen some solutions for this in the PC.
My Lumia already is running GDR3, and the email was working so good, except that 3 days ago or so, started with this issue. I have installed the GDR3 forcing the phone to do that, I had previously the Lumia Amber... then throught the "Phone for Developers" app, I updated to GDR3
Any ideas to solve this issue?
I give more sure there is problem with yahoo, or what ever you calling it. Wrong email settings you setup. I recomend you forward all incoming emails to live/hotmail/outlook.
Is the Yahoo account linked/synced through your Microsoft account? If not try adding the account to Outlook or Live or whatever the hell they are calling it now. I currently have email through my service provider that syncs flawlessly to my phone but it is also synced through my live account when I access Outlook through a web browser or the Windows 8 app on pc. It is configured as a separate pop 3 account on my 928 and am able to send and receive from that account no problem. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but can't hurt.
Yeah that's definitely odd. Does this happen when on WiFi or Cell Data?

win phone 8.1 Lumia 925 caldav sync only from phone to server

Hi,
I am trying to sync between a Lumi 925 and a caldav server (HORDE).
I used the method described at many places on the internet: setup a fake icloud account and enter the values afterwards.
I did get the calendar names on the device but nothing else from the server.
When I hit sync I do not get any error message that's why I assume that the ssl certificate of my provider is accepted as is ... Can I be sure of this?
Can someone tell me if there is a trick to get that running?
regards
