MSN and Notes question

[Guest ashley]

Anyone know how to keep MSN connected permanently as it seems to disconnect after its ten minute timeouts. It will not then reconnect as my PC based one does.

Also, a big feature of Active Sync I required was Notes. Anyone know of a way to tranfer note files so they can be syncronised and viewable on the phone.

The ListPro software will not syncronise AFAIK.

MSN: you can't, the max idle timeout for a GPRS connection is 10 mins.

Not sure about the notes questions as i don't use them/it

I've kept it open for longer I'm sure.... I think...

The idle timeout setting is used to say when to drop the connection if you aren't transfering data.

Eg if set to 10 minutes then you must transfer some data within 10 mins otherwise it drops the connection.

Messenger sends out a heartbeat every so often (I think) and this should be enough to keep the GPRS connection open. Maybe you had you timeout setting set too low? E.g. if your timeout is set to 1 min and Messenger sends out a heartbeat every 2 mins then you're gonna get kicked off.

Notes don't work on the SPV, but you can use Tasks instead.

Ok, so I'll give up on notes, but I'd like to keep MSN open.

I have the time-outs set to 10 minutes. Would the phone be stopping MSN in the background when i go to other pages?

Shouldn't be - check that it's actually connected.

You're not locking the phone using the hang-up key are you? This hangs up the GPRS connection as well.

Closest to perfect I have:

A) set in options of msn, 'run whenever connection is available'

B)Set email checking to 15 mins.

C)perform a send and recieve to start..

ps, remember to sign out if you want to stay offline.

pps works well until we pay for gprs!
