View Full Version : Anyone got more than one Windows Live folder synchronising on data connection?!

I'm having a different problem to the standard 'Live not working' that I've seen here! I'm on T-Mobile in the UK so grabbed the latest Live cab and installed on my default ROM.

I've got two probs...

I can't get more than one folder to synchronise in Live?!?
Live ALWAYS uses the data connection even when my LAN is available


Firstly... push mail worked fine initially, but then I set up a couple of new folders on my Live inbox....and now it freezes every time it tries to sync over the data connection. I added the folders via web login, then went to 'manage folders' option on the phone and selected my new folders for synchronising. I've got it on manual sync these days as I don't like the 'always on' connection :)

Anyway, with a single Inbox folder, sync worked fine, now with three folders it ALWAYS freezes up with the progress icon spinning....if I look in the folder list view I can see the little sync symbol next to the new folders but it just fails. No error message, no info, it just sits there doing nothing (I checked GPRS monitor, it's really doing nothing :)

So secondly...Tried connecting wirelessly over my WLAN and no luck, the email sync still initiates the data connection. When I used the Live icon in the programs menu, WLAN sync will correctly use the available wireless connection, but the 'messaging' app in the phone ALWAYS defaults to the data connection.

Is this because its the same messaging service that supports SMS/MMS or something else?

Cheers for any thoughts, hope I'm being an idiot!!!

I have been having issues with Windows Live ever since upgrading from my Hermes to the Tilt. But I am still able to successful sync more than one folder (that is, if the WL syncs at all). I just added two new folders to sync, same process you followed, and despite WL giving me a "sync failed" message, they both synced fine.

I am using At&t running WL version 10.6.0033.0600 on austinsync's BigStorage Rom

As for the WL over WLAN, my experience has been, the only way WL will sync over WLAN is if there is no other data connection available. Try turning your phone off in the comm manager and seee if WL connects over WiFi then.
