Sorry, I'm a bit lost. How does one download the program after becoming a beta tester? I dont see anything for the Messenger Live in the "available connection."
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GldRush98:
god, why don't you just post the file so we don't have to sign up and get spammed to death from Microsoft??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bogusiano:
I agree! :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JPHCCFC:
I am a beta tester from the original Messenger Live programme where do i find the files?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] WizzarD-me:
Thats because its illegal to post files that have copyrights.

But then again i am a beta tester.

But i also cant find the file.

http://beta.microsoft.com asks for a guest id and i dont have 1 because i cant apply to any live messenger beta program.

Please share how it works.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
You have to be accepted into the beta first (took ages for me)

There is a seperate beta for Windows Live Mobile which you have to join. It's faster if you are already a beta tester for another service.

The project title is "Windows Live for Mobile"

When you have been accepted into the beta, go to http://connect.microsoft.com, sign in, and check the "my participations" listing on the right hand side of the website. Select "Windows Live for Mobile", then on the next page, there will be several download links; An Activesync style installer including ppc and smartphone versions, and seperate cab files for each platform. Download, install, and login as normal, no additional hassle.

I would email it to you, or post it here, but as "WizzarD-me" says, it's not legal (Not that it normally bothers me, but I don't want banning :p)

If you need help with it, add me to ure msn, an i'll try to help :)

just throw the file at ftp *wink wink*
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
I'd rather just email it to you, won't get anyone in trouble then...

Gimme an email address. or just join the beta, it's free, and they don't spam you, contrary to popular belief...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Scottland:
I've joined the beta and I have to wait for acceptance I assume?

If you were to email me the file, does your passport ID tie you into the beta, as it initially did with Live Messenger beta (windows)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
No, or atleast, i've not noticed it doing this...

You basically have to sit and wait for it to be accepted...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Scottland:
Ok, thanks :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] AlanJC:
Well, mine tells me the Windows Live Mobile beta is closed, and I can't get any links to download anything anywhere :(

Can someone PM me a link or something please?

TIA
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ady:
it's already on ftp... maybe someone anonymously uploaded it *wink* *wink*

ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Universal/mwlmb.exe

However I can't get it to install on PPC... it says that it's only for smart phone
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
That's besause there's 2 different versions, an insider would know that :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mbial:
So here's what I've found thus far for the PPC version...

It will only pull windows live contacts down to your device. You cannot fully sync your address book on your device with the windows live services. Also, it has an option to sync windows live mail on each activesync (including wireless activesync) which is cool, but still is not proper push mail for hotmail (i mean windows live mail) Anyone notice anything else major?

Best,

MJB
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Alph1e:
Is it the one for smartphone?

If so, maybe i should re-install or something.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dutty:
link is dead. can somebody please re-up?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PseudoReal:
hi guys,

did anybody manage the contacts problem.

After sync, I do have a contact called firstlast@hotmail.com

when I rename this contact to: First Last

and save everything is fine until I turn on WLM again.

then wlm replaces my contact again with firstlast@hotmail.com

Isnt it possible to stop them syncing or even better to not add them to the address book?

Anyone able to get the push mail functionality working? (eg set the sync frequency to as mail arrives). If I change the setting, it just goes back to manual when I leave the setting screen.

There was an error message on my screen this morning saying login failed, but it was logged in. maybe the service was down temporarily.

I noticed that the push mail is working, even though the setting keeps going back to manual. the messages popped up on their own. I will watch for battery drain and check the data use at the end of the month.

Now, if they would get a mobile accessible calendar that sync's up, and gave the drop down for the 'from' field to let me picl which account to use, it would be fantastic.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] marisa4755:
Any news on this? I am quite keen to install this, but not if it is a big drain on battery life.

thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Mad Medik:
I can't give you a reliable assessment yet. I made a lot of voice calls yesterday. I need a day in the office where I can just let the phone sit so I will have a baseline. I'll let you know.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] marisa4755:
Cheers for that, any other things that you've noticed? Like for example instability of the device, sips not loading or anything like that?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Mad Medik:
Hi Marisa,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by SIPS not loading; I'm familiar with SIP protocol for voice over IP, if that is what you mean. I'm not using a SIP service though so I can't help there.

In general terms, I am not noticing any obvious conflicts. There is the problem with contact sync that others mentioned, and if you delete certain ones, they disappear everywhere form windows live; ie they are no longer on your messenger screen. However, no conflicts with applications that I've seen. I should mention, I am running on a Hermes with WXDA Live 0.20, radio 1.35 and not many additional apps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] marisa4755:
Hi, no, by SIP I meant input methods eg Calligrapher etc, I have just tried it myself and decided to uninstall it, I don't think the version I had is ready for prime time yet, it kept hanging my device, and some of my contacts didn't show, although one of them was in the same room as me and definitely online.

So, I'll just wait until either I get wm6 or a better version is released.

thanks for you help though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Mad Medik:
Update: Well, I fully charged the phone overnight. I turned it on and ensured Windows Live was active. I did not activate Messenger. I activated bluetooth, and left it on continuously. I made a few short phone calls (less than 5 minutes total). I had WIFI on for a short duration (again, less than 5 minutes). I read about five emails and used the device to surf to XDA to make the above posts. My keyboard backlight is set to be on when open (not light sensitive) and was probably open for less than 10 minutes total. At about noon, I checked the power level and I was at 40% percent. I am charging the phone over lunch, so I can make sure I make it through the day.

Conclusions: The above was not very scientific but it does appear that there is a noticable increase in battery drain, although not prohibitive, especially if you have a larger capacity battery or access to power periodically during the day.

Argh, it added all my MSN contacts into my Address book. I (stupidly) thought that deleteing them from my address book would only do that, but it removed them from MSN too! :?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mbial:
Yeah - it's incredibly annoying, but hopefully this will eventually offer syncing of the device's contacts and those on the live services. I've also noticed that when windows live mail is downloaded, it marks the messages on the Live Mail site as read even though they have not been opened yet.

MJB
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Scottland:
I don't use it for anything other than IM, so it's doubley annoying :p

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] afhstingray:
im beta testing this.

the first beta was smartphone only, this beta refresh works on both smartphone and pocketpc

i suggest not installing it as its pretty slow, and currently there is no way to stop it from downloading your entire MSN contact list to your phone;s addressbook, which is a pain.

also on my universal it slows down the opening of the contacts application.

really not worth installing on your main device as yet.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bogusiano:
Thank you very much but I can't install it, it says that it may not be compatible with my device? I own an i-mate Jasjar with the latest i-mate ROM, so maybe it is only compatible with i-mate Wizard or others.

I installed Vista_PPC_G2_Refresh.cab but it connects to the Internet in a strange way, normally it uses my GPRS connection even if I have my Wi-Fi connection?

A quick note for WM2003 users:

It

WILL NOT WORK

with any other operating system, other than

Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphone/PocketPC

!!!

A dire shame I know, but due to the way it intergeates into the phonebook (Which works differently in WM5) it just won't work (Although this probably isn't the only reason, just the one which jumps out at me the most). Would be nice if my mother could use my old WM2003SE device to keep in free contact, but she can't.

I don't see this changing either, I mean, who'd support an old OS? They need people to keep upgrading, its just not good busuness sense to discourage people from upgrading.

hi i installed this cab to my phne now it take all my phone memory up and i cut move it to the sd card plus when i open the cab it never gives me the op o install it on the sd card any ideas wat i can do thanks...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] phamoui:
It works "so so"

I just installed at my Universal, the GUI is good, it's is a litle slow, and makes some conflicts with wifi, It only connect thru GPRS/EDGE. Anyone facing the same?

I saw the blue angel photo and Live Messenger appear very different in my device. I don't have the RSS and Live Messenger Call button as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
You can't install it to the card, because it essentially overwrites the "old" msn messenger in the /windows directory. If you install it to the card, it will not work. Besides, if you actually look at how much it's taking up, it's very little. Most the things it does are modifications of the existing architecture.

If you make another connection profile with no GPRS setting in it, and switch to that when you want to use WiFi, Windows Live Mobile detects the absense of connection settings, and uses any connection availabe to it...

To create another connection profile, follow these simple instructions:

1. Go to "Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks"

2. Click on "New..."

3. Give the new connection profile a useful name like "Never Connect"

4. Click ok

5. Select the new connection in both of the drop down menus in the window with the "New..." button in it.

Now, when you want to use anything with GPRS, switch to the other profile.

When you use WLM it will not find GPRS settings, and use the WiFi connection immediately...

Hope this helps all the stragglers...

EDIT: Would it be possible to make a cab file which creates this new profile automatically to make it simple for people?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rebelish:
Hello i haven't use any of the above settings and it works for me over wifi and gprs depends on wich one i put it.

so before you go messing with youre registry try to make some space first.

the only problem i had when i just installed it was that it was very slow what i did was turn of microsoft push mail in the comm manager and from then it worked fine for me.

now i can even use it with push mail on and all i did was make some space :wink:

Anybody know a program that do this

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
Re: New messenger dosnt have a videocam option.

When you understand the overwhelming strain on a processor (and bandwidth) to do such a thing, you'll appreciate why one hasn't been developed yet...

Start a video chat in Windows Live Messenger, and watch your CPU spike when there's ant action...

You may be able to manage a measly 1fps, if your lucky (for a nice resolution that is...) If you're happy with a minute image, then it's possible. Go buy a 3G compatable phone...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Krinkiespijer:

Is there any way of stopping it copying my msn messenger list into contacts though ? It's very annoying
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] CowboyNinjaPirate:
The copying of contacts to my phone book has annoyed me too, no options to stop this behaviour.

One thing I thought of was that basically all my Phone/SMS contacts that i sync from Outlook have categories (Friends, Work etc), if you select in Contacts under Menu >> Filter >> More and select all the categories there then it only displays the ones with categories associated with them... problem is when you close contacts this reverts to showing all contacts again... :(

Anyway of makign that option stay as you set it appart from not lettin Windows close Contacts???

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
Re: Today Plug-in

To be ohnest, the today plugin only maked the device slow down, and consumes RAM. It never really told you all that much when it was started, and all it realy did was to open the messenger application anyway. I have been told that there is a Today plugin in the master plan of things, but it's not been onsidered essential by the voters in the MS newsgroups, so it's been moved further down the agenda.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] CowboyNinjaPirate:
I have to say that I've just tried this with one of my contacts, ,oved her hotmail into the Mail and IM sections of her main telephone contact and then deleted the actual messenger one and it has deleted the contact from my MSN Messenger list... so I have no idea how it worked for you. :/
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jmdrizen:
For those that didn't sync properly for me, I sync'ed with the PC, and moved the data from my old contact of the person to that which MSN created, deleted the old one, re-sync'ed, and all sorted.

Took a couple of minutes, but worth it.
