All,
I've a problem with the exchange server settings. It looks like my admins had pushed the new exchange policy this afternoon. All of a sudden my phone is asking for a password. I had installed the "Stay Unlock.cab" which worked perfectly so far. Now, I'm getting the password prompt when i unlock the device.
But the actual problem is, when I enter the password it takes me to the password screen and asking me to enter a new password. When I enter a new password it fails saying "An Error occurred saving password settings."
Now, I cannot access my phone. I have so many applications installed and I haven't backed up some of my settings & data. So I am hesitant to do a hard-reset and wipe out 3 weeks worth of my work/customization.
Help please!!
Thanks
Nash (TmoUS HD2 - Stock ROM)
I end up hard resetting.
after, 10 times of invalid password entry in the lock screen, it automatically wiped all my data.
anyway I installed hspl2 and installed energy rom, which is much better and beautiful than the stock rom. I am re installing all my applications now...
Thanks
Hello All,
Now I have a weird problem. I could install all the apps and run it properly, but the moment when I sync my outlook with the corporate exchange account, everything stops working. It looks like the Exchange setup is blocking unsigned apps & I could not install any cab files anymore or start an already installed program like CHT Editor. If I remove the email account, everything works fine again. Has anyone come across this problem?
I'm not sure what was changed in the Exchange server. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance.
Right now, I have Kumar's ROM & I tried Energy ROM too and it looks like I cannot get around this issue. If I remove the Exchange account everything goes back to normal. I also have "Exchange Stay Unlock.cab" installed which doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there anyone else having the same issue?
Is it possible that the exchange admins put a policy to your telephone that its not possible to install software. ,Maybe that is the problem. Then when you delete email, also delete this policy and then its possible to install progs
It looks like it, before & after deleting the exchange sync it asks me to restart. after deleting the problem goes away. Is there anyway to change exchange's behaviour/policy?
The main problem is not just the installation, even the installed apps don't open anymore. Like the "Arkswtich" task manager which I use all the time or any unsigned apps I think. Opera works fine.
could you tell me, what/how I should ask my admins?
Hello All,
It looks like the policies are being updated and I cannot run or install the any unsigned app. I tried to install the cabs to "Remove app lock, unsigned app, etc..", but I can't seem to install these cabs too. Now, I can't even open the registry and update the policies key manually as I can't open a regsitry editor app.
I tried the registry editor from PC (CeRegEdit) and it won't let me update from that too. I totally stuck with this problem now.
Is there way to sign an app (cab file) or make it trusted?
Thanks
I'll continue to update this thread as no one else seem to have this problem.
I used "msigner.cab" to sign couple of cab files and tried to install and it still failed saying "untrusted...". So, I spoke to my admins, those guys plainly said they don't support windows mobile. Now, I don't have an option.
I wonder, why microsoft would enforce a policy on a wm6.5 devices?
Next step.. I reflashed again, installed all the cabs I needed and setup my device. this time, I'm hoping that I don't have to reboot (I know it's tough ) after syncing up with exchange. I'll sync only the emails (in Exchange) and others through the pc (contacts, tasks, calendar).
Finally, I installed all the reg editors before connecting to exchange. Then I synced only the emails with the exchange server and before rebooting the phone, I used the reg editor to change the key (HKLM\Security\Policies\Policy) values as mentioned in other forums (sdkcerts) to 0. Now it looks like its permanent and not changing even after the reboot!
Thanks

Yes I too need to know, I am suffering with the same problem
Thanks in advance
Update I think http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/...curity-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices.aspx can help in resolving, never tried it though
sorry, it is in the "HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" folder.
I changed the following keys..
00001005 to 1
00001006 to 1
Let me know if it doesn't work, I can export and email you the policies key from the registry.

Has anybody had the following problem.. and ofcourse, a solution:
I've come to accept Windows Live syncing my contacts on the phone and making a mess with the others. I ended up consolidating with duplicates.
My problem is that I have fully added my contacts again to Messenger and at first everything works fine. I sync with activesync and everything goes well. The issue begins when I soft reset. After I do, Windows live now begins not being able to sync my contacts. It always gives me an error. To make it worse, my contacts are still in the messenger, but they never appear online. People can see me and message me, and I can answer, but I don't see anybody online as I did before I softreset. I can imagine I don't see them because they don't sync. I set sync settings for "as they arrive" for my mail to work like if it were pushed.
Anybody know why that happens? Trust me, I've hardreseted like crazy, I even created a new account and added everybody from scratch and it still happens.
I use the new WM6 update for an unbranded HTC p4350 in Spanish.
Thanks.
Did you regedit and hide SIM contacts... I have the same problem with Windows Live Contacts and I guess it's because that registry modification, so I'm trying to restore that key to show/UNhide SIM contacts...
...updates next...
Updates... It' an issue related to the HTC 3 button Plugin... if you disable it from Settings tab you will see all contacts...
Now I'm trying to enable again the Plugin...
...updates caming next...
Didn't work
Hey.. thanks for your help but none worked.
I haven't touched the registry in what pertains to windows live. Every time I try to sync it tells me it failed to start syncing the congacts.
What I dont understand is why, if I errase the account and sign in again, I do get to see them; but once I softreset, though they are still there, they all appear offline. They can see me but I cant
Thkz
Now I am OK and Windwos Live works fine (sync and online contacts).
1)I disable the 3 Button Home Plugin.
2) restart the phone and it boots correctly without the Plugin activated. I connect via WI-Fi to Windows Live and it works correctly.
3) re-enable the 3 Button Plugin and all things still work.
I dunno why but after this it's ok...
Updates: It worked but this is not the solution...
I'm trying find the core of the problem...
...updates coming next...
Erase all things I wrote before (sorry but I was testing...)
Searching in google I found many people with this problem (WM6 + Windows Live).
Right now the only real thing to do is a work around. From Windows Live you have to tap on Menu, then on Account Options then choose "Change Account" and reconfigure it anytime you Soft Reset your Herald...
I know it is not a solution, but in this way it works...
Had a strange problem with Windows live on my Touch Dual. I've previously had it working perfectly. I don't use messenger that much but I love having my hotmail integrated into my phone's inbox.
Recently I noticed that it had stopped syncing. I tried forcing it a few times (ie. clicking on send/receive) but it instantly came back with 'Sync failed'. My first go at fixing it (after trying a soft reset) was to switch account, assuming that I could effectively just reload all my messages without reinstalling. However, once it had wiped all my current messages, it wouldn't let me sign in again. I entered my password, clicked next and nothing happened.
Right, I thought, a reinstall is needed. So I dug out the installation exe and ran it. However, I kept getting a message saying something like 'Installation of windowslive.cab was unsuccessful' with no further details.
I didn't want to hard reset but it looked like it was my only option. So having done a full hard reset, I tried installing and got the same problem - 'Installation unsuccessful'.
This is so frustrating. It was working perfectly before and now I can't even install the damn app. I was starting to wonder if Orange had somehow updated my phone without me knowing to block Windows Live, but as so many other people don't have a problem it can't be that.
I saw the thing about the 30 day trial and wondered if it was connected, but again I thought I can't be the only one.
Help please! I want my hotmail back!
Cheers!
Try to delete saved password and retype then.
Let me know.
Unfortunately, I now don't have the app installed and the problem is that the phone won't let me reinstall.
Can't understand why it won't install onto a freshly hard reset device. Something must have changed!
Where is Live Messenger?
I've got the Orange handset and can't find messenger anywhere so I tried the cab install as per my Trinity but it doesn't work!!!
I neeeed it - what now?
same problem
Hi everybody, I had exactly the same problem a few days ago. Until now I did three hard resets, but in vain :-( Once I finllay manegd to install the client, but configuring it didn´t work. After "Login to Windows live" the setup stopped. Then, I de-installed win live and after that no more installing was possible. Very strange..... NO, I didn´t change anything on the hardware, no roms, no radios, nothing. Any ideas out there ?
Thanks !
Maybe something has changed on the server end?
Try the attached .cab - it works for me:
still no chance... :-(

Thanks for your help, but it doesn´t install. It says "installation failed". Any idea ?
None I'm afraid. If you've hard reset I can't see any reason for it to not install
no Windows Live since 30 June
Having the same problem-- no Hotmail sync since 30 June, can't connect to Windows Live Messenger. Tried deleting Windows Live and reinstalling various versions, to no avail. I always get an error message that the installation was unsuccessful. I tried a hard reset, tried reverting to a backup from months ago, but nothing works. No Windows Live.
There is a brief discussion of the issue on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2315295. It's hard to believe there aren't more people commenting on this problem. Is it unique to those of us who are using the standard WM 6.0 ROM? Until this gets sorted out, can anyone recommend another stable, reliable (and preferably free) Windows Live Messenger client?
personally I have been using Parlingo http://www.palringo.com for my mobile messaging client. seems to do the job well and with the added bonus of PTT it means I dont need to type to people.
working version of Windows Live but no IM
The version of Windows Live on this page http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/languages-en-us.mspx is working on my Kaiser, but they have removed Windows Live Messenger from the package. :-(
Edit: the cab from this page is now working too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1281625&postcount=4. It does contain Messenger. Perhaps the problem is now solved and all the old versions are working again?
i had the same problem go to http://www.ppcwarez.org and search for windows live and choose the one the has fixed in brackets

I posted this in another forum, but thought I'd give it a try here.
I'm using Verizon's Wireless Sync for my work email and contacts. The bad part is, by using that it's enabled the Lock feature after a timeout/standby/power cycle. I know the registry keys that disable the PIN requirement, but whenever I sync, it resets them.
I tried the Zenyee StayUnlock program, but it's not working for me. Nothing I can find has been able to keep those entries from being reset
Any ideas?
Bump for some help
Oh, and the registry settings reset when I soft reset also...
I have the same problem except when I change the reg keys it disables the lock until the next day. I don't think there is a way around it. I have done some searching but not a lot and it doesn't seem like there is any other way.

I can get it to stay..... as long as I don't sync or reset (soft or power cycle).
I had found some people were able to use the StayUnlock program to help keep those entries from reverting back, but I couldn't get it to function.
It is QUITE annoying...
Hi used this StayUnlock program and it worked really well for me never have to enter a password to unlock.
Also, you don't have to use Wireless Sync if your server is Exchange, then you can configure ActiveSync to sync over the air, and this StayUnlock works really well. it just gives me a reminder when my server push the security policy, but it reverse it.
Unzip this, create a shortcut to it and dump it into the \Windows\Startup folder.
Hope this helps.

Use ActiveSync OTA? Never heard of this...
I tried the StayUnlock. It didn't work for me. The reg settings would reset as soon as I ran Wireless Sync or reset the phone.
I installed the program, made a link to it from the Startup folder, but still no go. Do you change the settings BEFORE installing, or AFTER.
Ok, I got it to sync to the webmail server for my Outlook. But it's not a push service.
That's what I like about Wireless Sync. It's a push.
Yesterday I suddenly lost all settings (not files).
It was a routine day. I power off every night. In the morning, all settings are lost:
HSPA cannot connect. I need to run the setup of the mobile operator data (touch the data connection of the settings->Wireless Control tab)
Wifi lost their SSID and pwd.
Exchange lost the password, but not the server name etc.
Windows live and hotmail lost my credentials.
Inbox lost my POP3 accounts. However, the POP3 accounts are still present on the Sense Messaging tab.
Anybody has similar experiences? What might have triggered it? What could be done when it happens? Yesterday, I created all my POP3 accounts afresh, and re-type password to every place listed above.
It just happened a second time.
Sense messaging still knows the account exist, but details (server, id/pwd) are lost. I found it easier to edit the account in Sense, which will re-create the account to Inbox (last time, I did it in Inbox, and it won't allow me to use the same account name -- it says account already existed).
And I noticed that MalekoUK has a similar experience in this thread.

LoL very confusing Like here.
Things that may have triggered it on my phone. Pulling the battery. Removing and replacing sim card. Installing T-Mo version of swype.

In my second case, I pulled battery becuase it hanged during Sktools backup. I don't remember the details of the first.
You can solve easily your problem with sashimi and makisu applications by bengalih.
Install sashimi and its plugin makisu on your sd card, run sashimi and go in "customized plugins" and run makisu
here you can save your email and wifi settings in 2 (or also one I think, but am not sure of that) xml files
when your settings are lost for some reason, you can use makisu for providing the xml files you have created and, in few seconds, you have your email and wifi settings back.
I recommend you to learn the usage of sashimi....a "must have" application for me!
Greetings
lost email settings
it happened to me after I unistalled swype. I suppose swype is the problem here.
I use official ROM 1.66
Yes I experienced the same thing with swype installation on italian 1.66 stock rom, but I solved in few seconds with the xml previously created with makisu.
That doesnt solve the issue though. Only takes me a minute to enter everything back. Just shouldn't disappear in the first place.
this has happened to me a few times...weird and annoying...

Do you know where the email, wifi and data connections are saved? If I know where they are in the registry, I can manager them myself without sashimi.

i own the hd2 t-mobile usa version
so like all of you, i was frustrated that deleting a gmail off of the hd2 (when set up via imap which is automatic from the normal gui setup) didn't work.
in searching these forms i saw that many of you have set it up via activesync. this is my first smartphone and due to my ignoance, i couldn't figure that out. i have outlook via activesync which works great, but can't figure out how to setup another e-mail address via activesync. i saw this page google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299via another thread here, but when i go to active sync on the hd2, all the setup options are greyed out. (if anyone could help me here, I would appreciate it)
anyway... so i decided to press on and found this. when you have the gmail inbox open and you go to menu - tools - options - gmail - edit account setup - 6 screens over - advanced settings (really!?!? i mean really!?!?) there's a drop down that has two options:
1. move them to server trash
2. delete them off server
the default was set to "move them to server trash." i changed it to "delete them off server." i then sent myself an email, deleted it on the hd2, and unfortunately it came back when i hit send/retreive.
knowing that didn't work, i went back to the above setting and put it back to the default "move them to server trash." when i tried it again, it worked. i've done three test e-mails to verify and it works fine -- every time i delete off of hd2, they don't come back (and they are in the trash folder on gamil server).
oh the whoes of smartphones... hope this works for you. (here's 3 hours of my time i'll never get back) good luck everyone and let me know.
Awesome dude! Many thanks for this, It was always a pain to receive emails at work, delete them, to onyl get home and have them come back down in Outlook!
ok well here's an update. it apprears there's a bug in the sence gui. if you delete the email from the sence gui (menu - delete message), the email comes back.
however, if you delete from the gmail inbox (select inbox on gui -- lower left, select the email you want to delete, press delete and you get a confirmation window), it will also delete from the gmail server (move to trash folder).
can someone else verify this?
Yea, same issue here. If I delete from Sense UI, it comes back when I press send/receive. Deleting from the inbox is the only way i can get things to delete properly.
Strange thing you're talking about, until now I never encountered this issue, mails never come back after I deleted them from My HD2.
I upgrade the ROM very often and never had this issue (stock roms, Dutty's ones and now Topix ones)...
