Guest keni Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 OK, so is it just me, or has anyone else here had a problem with logging into MSN Messenger since the update?
Guest spockie Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 hey, yeah i did have that problem...so i went to install agile messenger to get onto msn.......one day i decided to gie the msn another shot...and guess what it works!....weird...try it
Guest wagamama Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 yup am having loads of problems with msn. actually, anything to do with gprs data connections really, since the update
Guest Rob.P Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 I haven't been able to get into MSN Messenger since the update either, oh well, can kiss that service goodbye on the phone, well done Orange.
Guest ferret Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 The more and more I use the update the more and more I despair. Random error messages sending email MSN very random at the best of times Stuck on Connecting when using IE (sounds familiar ???) Orginal update was fine apart from the buzz, which I was slowly getting use to - kinda miss it now in a strange sort of way.
Guest Ceilidh Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 I can't seem to connect to MSN either. Guess I'll have to install Agile... as you've been saying, problem started when I installed the ROM update. First I couldn't use GPRS at all... phoned orange, they sorted that out for me... but since then I haven't been able to use MSN Msgr at all, no matter where I am, signal strength or nothing. Not even if I've just downloaded mail or visited a website...
Guest Pondrew Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Wierd guys. Admittedly I hadn't tried to use MSN Messenger since updating but on trying it this evening it's working fine for me. Sorry but it's another of these random problems that don't effect everyone.
Guest dazza12 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 I did have problems with MSN on the phone since the update, but instead of immediately blaming Orange, I tried on the PC. I've also been having problems there. Mainly for a couple of weeks. If you are getting probs, check that you can still use it on the PC. Not just log on, using it properly. It's all too easy to blame Orange for this, but bearing in mind MSN Messenger hasn't changed I really can't see it being the fault of the upgrade.
Guest keni Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 It's all too easy to blame Orange for this I agree, but I'm not. Its not Orange's update its MS. I'd rather be proactive about this, lets try and work out the problem and then we can present our findings to Orange and MS and hopefully somthing will get done.
Guest Rob.P Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I'm only having problems on my E200, if I had problems with my PC's then I wouldn't even bother complaining about it here. It's just my E200 and the reason I'm not happy about it is that as far as I can see nothing has changed on my phone to stop it working (bar the update of course), I have absolutely no problems connecting to GPRS, never had any disconnects whilst downloading email or surfing. Your right it easy to blame Orange, cause they are usually the cause or the only place to lay the blame as they are responsible for internal testing (which according to a friend who was a tester) is poor like much of the software industry today.
Guest smith2001 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 i have the same problems and after speaking to data services @ orange they placed the blame on MS, as they might have updated the service and not told them/us. however with the vast majority of users the service works and before on my old handset before i send that back due to a faulty button it worked even after the update. its deff something on our phones not orange sides.
Guest Bridgy Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Hey guys, I had the same problem after upgrading. Called Orange, they said there should be no problem with MSN and the new ROM and suggested a reset (hard reset). I bit the bullet and did this it did not work until I detatched GPRS, disconnected GPRS and restarted the phone. Once I did that it all worked again. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. i can confirm this works !!!!! apologies for my spelling in my previous post
Guest superchoward2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 i had been having problems using any of orange's gprs services after i had installed updates and then when i tried today it worked.
Guest rankinl Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 OK. I haven't been able to connect since the update either. In fact, the first thing I tried before doing anything when I got my SPV out of the box was Messenger. It worked. Since then it has not..... I have gone through the upgrade and 2 hard resets and still every time it is knackered. UNTIL TODAY.... I did a hard reset, but before downloading the Orange GRPS settings or doing the OTA unlock. I tried Messenger and it worked. I have now unlocked and re-installed everything, and it still works ! The ONLY thing that is different is that I have left the GPRS settings as default after the hard re-set. As far as I know this means there is no specific DNS settings and that is all.... Does this mean that it is actually the Orange GPRS DNS servers which cannot see the Messenger servers ?????? Anyway, I am one happy bunny. Messenger works, as does PIE etc etc. As I say the only thing which is different today is that I have not made any adjustment to the GPRS settings since the re-set. Normally I would have logged onto the Orange site and allowed them to send me the settings OTA, and then unlocked the phone OTA as well. Can anyone else verify, or am I just lucky ???
