I recently bought my xda mini s secondhand and it was on generic settings when i got it. MSN messenger was in the menus
I did a hard reset and loaded all the o2 active user interface and now cant see msn messenger anywhere ???
Is it a seperate download for wm5 or have o2 disabled it for some reason or am i just being thick ??
any help guys
thanks,
malty
Messenger should (unless your provider blocked it) be in the \windows folder called: "instmsgr.exe".
You can also switch on Pocket MSN
settings > today > items > Pocket MSN
If both items aren't there on your phone o2 probably doesn't want them there :idea:
ok found the app and it runs ok, weird that its been removed from the menus tho dont you think ?
thanks for the reply

it's very strange. I have the same rom installed and MSN presents. Did you look for MSN Options in Start/Settings?
I've noticed the same.
I get the full "MSN" page which means an extra click to start messenger.
I used to have a shortcut direct to the Msn_Msgr program but... now it's gone
Are they that desperate for us to use their whole MSN "suite"?!
in Settings I have MSN Options dialog,
but all features are disabled, except the one: SMS
all others are disabled on every taps.

First use Pocket MSN in Start/Programs to set your account
works now
thanks for great suggestions! works!
but I get icons for Pocket MSN dialog, then I can select MSN Messenger.
I preffer icon directly to Messenger, but this is no special problem.
now, all features in MSN Settings are enabled.

make a shortcut to it.
use file manager to:
"copy" the file \windows\instmsgr.exe
and "paste shortcut" in \windows\start menu\programs
great help! thx!
Fantastic!
The last step I made the above shortcut, this is what I wanted to back.
This is why I love this forum. Sharing ideas and solution. Nowhere and noone (mean: no manufactures and no device provider) gives such good support and help.
btw: why the official ROM release which so many bugs? I found there are some old IA CallerID pictures inside the ROM with no matter to use, because this program was remove a while.
Hi there,
I have just purchased a Vario and when using the MSN mobile software to access my Hotmail e-mails I have noticed that all my folders are there except my Junk folder; any ideas on how to get this to appear.....or is this not possible?!
Many Thanks
I've got the same problem - I've looked hard but haven't found any answer yet. (other than turn off the junk mail filtering )
Anyone help ?
is it normal i have got no MSN pre-installed on my universal
cheers,, cudo
If you mean MSN messenger, it is called "Pocket MSN" and the icon is a butterfly. From within that you then select MSN messenger. I had a similar problem when I got mine, not being able to find it. I must say I don't like it like this.
nope i tried to localize it everywhere but i just dont have it installed.
i am using mda pro. even if i try to serch within help there is nothing about pocket msn, msn and so on...why is that maybe i just need to upgrade to the lates ROM ?

You all need to upgrade your ROMS to the latest version to get MSN Messenger!

Have you got yours sorted now?
For those interested, some operators do not ship their PDA-phones with MSN messenger so as not to compete with their own instant messenging solutions / SMS offers.
I don't know if this has already been noticed but if you've got windows live on your device you can also have pocket msn running aswell but dont wanna type up a howto just incase its already done any1 want to know how
is this really possible ?

What do you mean by, "Got windows live on your device"? Is there an app, or are you just using Internet Explorer to browse to http://mobile.live.com
Rob
yes it is possible
@dny238: you can get windows live mobile for wm5 by searching the forums or form the ftp
@mrmrmrmr: indeed it is possible as i have it on mine
how to: ok i have only tested this on the htc AKU 3.3 test rom but it worked and it seems to left poket msn installed after installing windows live
basically all i needed to do was to enter the windows folder of my device and found a file called INSTMSGR with an msn messenger icon it loaded msn messenger (the old one that came with the device) and pocket msn appeared again in the start menu
please leave feedback on whethere this worked for you tell me your rom version aswell so i know which ones it willl work on and which ones it won't
will post screenshots as soon as i have time
i suppose using http://mobile.live.com you could have three email addresses going if th need be
Hey a bit side tracking but just want to point out, I've been trying windows live (the app version) on my SPV M3100. And basically it blows pocket msn, the web based Live and in fact any other messenger app out of the water. Its so easy and functional. First time MS got something right in a long while.
Just wish my wifi connection didnt cut off every time the phone went into sleep mode.
If you aint got Windows Live Messenger get it now.
( I should ask MS to pay me for the free promotion)
even easier
after fiddling with my old charmer I found an easier way to do it as the other method didn't work
go to windows folder, start menu, programs and set it to show all files the poket msn icon will apear but still won't appear in start menu so just copy and past a short cut to the same folder and voila poket msn and windows live at the same time and this does work
great if you have a personal and business email accounts and you want to moniter them both

Hi guys/dolls,
My 1st post of hopefully many .......Got myself upgraded(?) from a FSC Loox T830 to an Orange SPV M3100 (mainly for the larger screen & keyboard) but note that there is no MSN Messenger installed!?! ... How can I get this or Pocket MSN installed? Also, anyone had luck on using 'push email' on this device through the Wlan connection?
MSN messenger wasnt included by Orange deliberatly i think, dont worry it is available on many different ROMs.
Push email works through activesync (on the device) you need to setup an exchange account somewhere and email sent to that account is pushed to the device if you are synced through GPRS/HSDPA Wifi or even through the USB lead on your pc. Denials service is quite good, and a simple $10 donation is all he requires for it. You will find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305612
There's also a CAB floating around for Windows Live Mobile... sorry I don't have a link but search for it and you'll find it.
I prefer using that over the old MSN Messenger AND you get free push email with hotmail - awesome!
Please use forum search.
I posted on this very topic a couple of weeks ago.

If you are wanting Pocket MSN then use the thread above.
Orange remove this from their device as it goes against T&C's but there is a CAB attached to the above thread that gets it working.
If you use Live messenger then it has an in built expiry that means you have to re-install it every now and then. It's still in BETA stage.
I would recommend using Pocket MSN as it is working fine error free for me and my M3100 using friend.
Thanks guys.....downloaded and installed the 'floating' CAB, Pocket MSN back and works a dream! Boo Orange!
