msn live insists on connecting GPRS

[Statick]

i've tried this on 3 different ROMs now and it's always the same

i'll have my WLAN connected and working fine
but if i use msn live it insists on connecting GPRS and ignores the WLAN altogether

any ideas ?

it's got me stumped

[adebilloez]

Yes, most anoying stuff for many of us...

You can get Messenger work over Wifi only if you config the Connections to any unconfigured settings (liek default My ISP before config).

Thanks in advance.

Good luck with that. I dumped WLM because of this and use Pocket messenger instead. Does the job and does not screw up your contacts by syncing with your hotmail account.

Imagine you have just flashed your TyTN, and get connected trough Wifi. You have not configured the GPRS/3G connection yet. In this situation, live messenger works over Wifi. But if messenger detects any GPRS/3G data service available, use it before any other data service. Live Messenger is coded to use GPRS/3G before Wifi.

right, so i need to use pocket messenger then

that's good because i hate the syncing thing it does

thanks for the advice

Thanks for the information.

However this is still considered a bug since at some point in time you will need to set your GPRS.

The same thing completely occurs to me with some different ROM.
In addition, the line of GPRS and BT dial-up often cuts when suspending
it.

More thah a bug i beleave is a bad design. Take in count MSN Live is made for many PDA, and no all the PDAs have Wifi, so perhaps they forgot to make Wifi as preferred connection for the devices that have Wifi.

Pumpiron says this is fixed in newer releases. :)

Goto CommManager and turn off "Phone" and turn on "WLAN" (so only Wlan is enabled) then sign into MSN (it will force it to use WLAN) and then once youre in, re-enable "Phone" in CommManager! :) works for me

More of a 'workaround' than a 'it works' though...

etreby71,
Question... Did you uninstalled the windows live and installed the Pocket Messenger?
I need to do that too..:p

Well, Windows Live can be unistalled only if was installed before...if was cooked in, then you can't uninstall.

The best way to have only Pocket messenger is to flash any lite ROM (dopod by edhass, Schaps lite, JJ Black lite, TNT lite.....) that don't include the Windows Live, so you can select what to install on the ROM.

Here is the pocket messenger i am using:


It works for me.

[etreby71]

I used to be on Black Satin and later changed to the latest Schaps 3.6a (both are superb roms). Since both had Live Messenger Installed I had to dump the roms and take out Live Messenger (and some other stuff) and package it back together. i.e. I did my own custom rom using a base rom with my own personal customizations.
