Is Windows Live working for anyone on Tilt or TyTnII????

Does anyone have Windows Live working correctly on their Tilt or TyTn II????


UPDATE 01/15/2008

Ok I am resurrecting this issue as I still can not get any version of Windows Live to run reliably on my Tilt! Does anyone have a .cab install of WL (any version) that pushes Hotmail consistently????

Original Post:
I have been trying to get Windows Live working on my Tilt for the past 72 hours and I am totally stumped.

I have been able to sync my email, contacts and even log on to messenger, but for some reason Windows Live keeps getting stuck in the Checking Internet connectivity step on the sync screen. When I soft reset my Tilt, WL will keep saying Checking Internet connectivity until I force a send and receive. It then throws up a sync error (with no error message), but appears to successfully sync. Then it sometimes pushes email as it should for a few minutes, but then gets stuck in Checking Internet connectivity again.

I had this issue running the stock HTC ROM and austinsync's BigStorage w/ PIE fix ROM on my Tilt. I have used the At&t connection settings from HTC Connection Setup tool both Media Net (w/ and w/ out Proxy) and ISP.Cingular. I have also used a Cingular Network Cab file that I used with my 8525.

All other applications are getting internet connections no problem (including Live Search - the mapping program).

I have tried messing with the GPRS Always on Reg tweaks [ HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-}\Connections\|gprs connection name (my Isp/MediaNet} \AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal) ] , but that has not fixed the problem.

I have tried WL versions 10.6.0033.600 and 10.6.32.2100 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438) along with whatever version came on the HTC stock ROM.

Does anyone have Windows Live working on their Kaiser??? If so, what Device, ROM, and Carrier are you using??

[njmarchetti]

So no one has Windows Live working correctly on a Kaiser????

I have been using WL version 10.6.0033.600 on my Hermes with no problem at all. I even spent the last hour pouring over the registry of my 8525 and comparing it to the Tilt, but I could really use some help looking for a solution.

[DVS_WiNdz]

mines is working.. I'm using a Kaiser with BigStorage w/ PIE fix ROM with T-mobile service.. It was working with stock rom also.. I've used stock windows live and Windows Live 10.6.32.2100.. both worked fine.

[njmarchetti]

So WL is working fine on T-mobile(US??). I am really starting to think this is an issue with the At&t network/proxy.

Anyone on At&t network have WL working correctly??

edit
By working correctly, I actually mean Pushing emails as they arrive. I am able to manually pull emails down, but I am trying to get the WL push email functionality working on the Tilt over At&t.

[rkorzuch]

I am using build 10.6.32.2100 on AT&T with a Tilt and everything including push email is working for me. I am running the HTC ROM.

Did you use the HTC Connection Setup tool to configure your network settings, or enter them manually? Also, are you using the proxy or is it disabled?

If you look through these forums, there's a pretty long thread of people who have issues with their device not waking up to pull down emails.

In short, if you turned off your screen by tapping the side power button (instead of letting the screen turn off on its own), the device will not reliably wake up for either timed email pulls or push email.

I discovered this with push Hotmail - never had a successful push with the device manually hibernated, but push worked fine if the device was on.

I stopped using Windows Live because it had LOTS of issues when the device was in an area with bad/no coverage, it would make my Tilt EXTREMELY sluggish and unresponsive with that little color wheel appearing every few seconds if I had login information recorded and the phone was not in good coverage. Windows Live even pulled the phone out of flight mode to try and make a connection at least once, I wouldn't want that happening on a plane!

[rkorzuch]

I let the network wizard setup the connection but edited the ISP connection to use the wap.cingular access point. Windows Live works for me with either the medianet w/ proxy or the isp connection

[njmarchetti]

Yeah WL is definitely not the most reliable application to begin with, but I finally had it working like a charm with my 8525 runnning vp3G's ROMs.

Now on the Tilt I can't even get it to push email when the device is on and has a full connection.

The fact that WL is constantly stuck in the Checking Internet Connectivity step leads me to believe that there is some issue with WL opening up my Data connection on the Tilt. I have absolutely no issue connecting with PIE or Live Search.

Unfortunately I use Windows Live to manage all my emails and contacts, so I am pretty much stuck with trying to make it work on the Tilt or take it back.

I have the stock rom for the tytn 2, nothing altered, and my WL works without any problems when set as push mail and disdplay as full html format, if using it in hotmail, the ppc will default it to a simplified version.

Windows Live Search working fine on my Tilt reflashed to HTC on ATT

[n8jsn]

I am also having the problem with it grabbing my email as it comes in.

[trublu]

Windows Live Search working fine on my Tilt reflashed to HTC on ATT
same here. no problems.

[CorruptedSanity]

WL is not even letting me log on! It says my user name or password is incorrect and its not because I checked by logging on in hotmail.com on my desktop.

[njmarchetti]

just to clarify, I am having connection problems with Windows Live, the hotmail/messenger application, NOT Live Search the mapping application available from wls.live.com .

I have been having much better luck with Push email coming through since using the Connection Setup tool again to reset my network settings and disabling the Media Net proxy. Hopefully this keeps up tomorrow.

[herzel]

is it possible to have window live to push FEW email accounts at the same time?

[kms108]

WL is not even letting me log on! It says my user name or password is incorrect and its not because I checked by logging on in hotmail.com on my desktop.

is this in the push mail message section, did you set it up manually or automatic?

either way it's won't work, even if you put in all the correct settings. You will need to go into the start/program then click the windows live icon and set up from there and have ticked the sync email, once completed setting, you will need to log into msn messager, then soft reset afterwards.

now window live hotmail should show up in the push mail section.

after many trys and error, i can confirmed it works for me.


hope this helps.

[CorruptedSanity]

All I did was select the WL icon and then log on.

Im not sure what you mean by sync mail and so on.

Ive done this:

Start > programs > windows live (icon) > clicked on Sign in to Windows Live > Accept user agreement (I do) and then at the screen where I need to input my user and password I get the error about mismatched username and/or password.

The Options and Account options menus are grayed out (not able to select).


I get this error

Sign-in Failure

Either the user name or the password you entered is invalid. Please try again.

@CorruptedSanity

I metioned this in another thread, but are you sure you have the correct keypad layout?

For example if you have a Tilt and flashed an HTC Rom, your keyboard layout will not match the letters/symbols printed on your keyboard. The same would be true if you flashed a TyTn II with a Tilt Rom. You could check by typing your password into pocket Word and making sure it is correct.

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure your date and time is set correctly. Windows Live has some issues logging on if the date and time on your device do not match the WL Server.

What ROM are you running?

[CorruptedSanity]

Did not flash my rom! Straight out of the box TyTN II (unlocked).

Ive been typing a whole lot and nothing seems out of place.

How do I know which time WL is on?

How do I check which rom im running?

[kms108]

to check the rom

start/settings/systems and device information

[njmarchetti]

Just found out that this email issue is not specific to WL. There is a thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332362) where a lot of people are having problems with the Kaiser waking up to check emails.

No solution so far. Talk about a disappointment. I am getting ready to bust out the 8525 until someone can find a fix.

I am quite new here myself, and the Tilt is only my 2nd device I've ever used. I cannot find that Windows Live is installed anywhere on this device - does it have to be installed or does it come pre-installed out of the box?

If Windows Live needs to be installed on the Tilt, then from where would I access it? I've been looking everywhere, and I did find some links to download on these forums -- but when I download the cab files to my computer, they look and behave like ZIP (WinZip) files and not cab files. (My plan was to use ActiveSync's feature of Add/Remove Programs to install Windows Live if necessary).

I'm sorry if the level of instruction I need is too elementary for this forum, but I'm really trying to learn. The main reason I want Windows Live is so I can use push mail with my Hotmail account. I pay for the premium Hotmail, but so far I can only access it via a web browser on the phone.

[njmarchetti]

At&t decided not to include Windows Live on the Tilt, but you can download it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438

Download version 10.6.0033.600 to your computer and unzip to extract the cab file. Copy the cab file to your Tilt using ActiveSync or WMDC and then open it from the Tilt using File Explorer app.

[Harmonygirl]

Thanks for your quick reply. I copied the file and unzipped it into a folder on my desktop. I have no idea what to do next - I don't see any *.cab file extensions in the folder where I unzipped the files. I know how to use Activesync (sort of, lol) and File Explorer on the device, but now I am completely stumped! Can you be a little more specific on what to do next, please? :)

[njmarchetti]

Instructions:
Open the folder that you unzipped on your Desktop and you should see a file called Windows Live 10.6.33.0600 (Fixed) (duttythroy). that is the .Cab File
Connect your Tilt to your PC and open activesync
Click the Explore button on activesync to browse the files on your Tilt
Copy the .Cab file from your desktop to a folder on your Tilt (My Documents is fine)
Open File Explorer on your Tilt (It is in Start menu->Programs folder somewhere, but I forget where At&t burried it)
Navigate to the folder you copied the .Cab file to and tap it to run.

Windows Live will then install.

[Harmonygirl]

Thank you thank you thank you! :)

Windows is now installed -- now I just have to figure out how to use it to the fullest, especially how to get my Hotmail to automatically push to my phone -- this will be fun! Thanks again!!!!

[ParkerV]

Successfully installed "Windows Live 10.6.33.0600 (Fixed) (duttythroy)" on my At&T Tilt with original ROM.

Applications starts and shows both the search bar and the option to "sign in" immediately below it.

Looking good so far.

Then you try to actually use these things and I get a rambling message about failed internet connections.

Internet Explorer working fine.

Cellular Video working fine (after fixing the file association for RAM files)

No connection problem.

OK. Time to select the connection option in the software.

Select the MENU and both th "options" and "account options" are dimmed and can't be selected. The "about" option is there.

Smells like a registry issue but not sure.

Anyone seen this?

I have exactly the same problem as you mentioned, but I just tried WL via WiFi (I also patched the WPA fix), no matter which version of WL I installed, no connection!
Would you please let me know if you make some progress or figure that out?

Btw, I got Kaiser from 3 in Australia. Now you see, it might not the problem with ROM or carrier. Hope more people would notice this and help us out.

If anyone has WL working flawlessly on a Tilt or Kaiser I would love to here the details....

[Isaygarcia]

I am using 10.6.0031.2600 on my TyTN II with the original TyTN II rom from HTC.
It works perfect including push Hotmail etc etc...

Thanks for the response. I have not tried version 10.6.0031.2600 with any of the latest ROMs yet.

Any Tilt users on At&t finding that version 10.6.0031.2600 solves the push email/ checking internet connectivity issues??

[Troxelke]

Hmm... it sound I have a simliar problem!

I have installed the latest Romeos 888 rom and works really well! Except for the push-mail of hotmail. I have installed everything right it seems, because I am able to sync manually (via "send/receive"). However, the option to download automatically, does not seem to work!

Anybody an idea? I have searched and searched... but can't find a solution :(

Thanks :)

[Sideburnt]

Windows live is useless, I've had several different versions and build combinations, I've stripped my account right down to minimum and still I get messages about a failed synchronization. Its a rubbish application, I find it much quicker to log in through skyfire and check my mails like that.

[Troxelke]

Ok, thanks!

But for me everything is working (I get no error messages!), except for the timed/push sync. The manual sync does work, and everytime!

So it seems like the "trigger" is missing to check the mail on a timed or a "push" based. Anyone know's how to solve that?

Thanks..!

[look9001]

I'm trying to get Windows Live to work, currently this version
Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).cab

When I start Live it establishes a 3g data connection but then I get the message 'Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection blah blah blah.....' but all my other apps, browser, youtube etc. can use the internet connection fine. Anyone have a clue?
