Microsoft MyPhone service

[teorouge]

As seen in recent WM6.5 cooked roms, there's a feature called Microsoft My Phone, which should be an online synch of contacts and whatsoever on the phone. Anyone got to try that?

I got it on my Diamond, tried it out. It works as advertised. It backs up your stuff in the cloud, and everything is accessible via web as well.

However, I sync my contacts with my school's Exchange server and also with Windows Live, so it's kinda useless for me.

I guess if you aren't synced to another service and if you flash different roms a lot, this can be useful. It backs up everything (text messages, media, contacts, documents, etc)

The only complaint I have is that it just syncs up anything, so it takes pictures from Opera's cache. My my phone is already full of random small images and gifs from the Opera folder. I don't think there's a way to assign different folders not to sync.

I can't get why, but I can't use that. I signed, I got the mail from MS telling me I've been enabled, I even downloaded the latest cab from the MS Live Page but this just won't allow me to synch, reporting MSN ID issues. Anyone got this working under WM6.5?

Apparently, there was this issue, check the link here.

I read it was only compatible with WM6 and 6.1 but the workaround you pointed worked great! I could finally synch, even with 6.5 ROM! Thanks!

Have you ever been able to sign in?

Also, when I signed up, there were limited places on the beta program, and it took about a week before I got allocated a place...

I'm currently using an exchange server, but MyPhone backs up my pictures and text messages, which Exchange just can't do.

After the initial waiting period (to be picked), and after a fresh install of the app downloaded right from MS (not the one in 6.5ROMs, it's buggy), I was able to sign in and synch in a couple of seconds.

That´s maybe it. I received my invitation on Saturday, and I have never been able to sign in. Although, when I enter a incorrect address it says WRONG ID. So I guess I´m still not allowed. I´ll wait a week.
I reinstall and still no server connection.
Thanks guys!
Keep you posted!

Was there a "click here to verify" link in the email?

[erkv]

No!
It was not!
just https://myphone.microsoft.com
should I have it? mmm interesting!

I've found the myphone app very usefull. I've been testing a load of ROMs over the last couple days and without the myphone app it would be annoying trying to backup and restore all my contacts, text messages and calendar items all the time.

After using myphone for about a week I have come to the conclusion that Dashwire is a lot better. Both the phone interface and the web interface win hands down in my opinion.

I create a new account @hotmail.es
I received the invitation! and it syncs!
