I'm having trouble believing that, Rogers will do anything that will have people using more data, remember they are the Robbers network.

That means you're on a BES /w a backup policy - look further up in the thread where I post instructions for how to resolve this.... mind you as per the post with the BIG RED LETTERS (#1) it doesn't work anymore

I am on a BES. Try the following:

1) Go to your Service Books on your Blackberry (Options --> Service Books or Options --> Advanced Options --> Service Books
2) Highlight, Desktop [SYNC]
3) Click thumbwheel in choose Delete
4) Go into Backup/Restore and go into Advanced...
5) Choose File --> Open and open the All_Clients.IPD
6) Choose the client and click the right arrow
7) Choose Undelete from the Blackberry menu to get the Sync back

This worked for me, however, I get the following error when I try to login...

Connection Error(65):
Problem receiving data from server.

the problem has been covered ad nauseum in this very thread..I wish people would take the time to read

I am using a 7130e on VZW and I am able to get to the signing in screen, it just sits there, and doesn't actually bring up my buddy list. I don't get the error message like everyone else. I have read the posts before this, and didn't see anyone who had similar issues. Sorry if this is a repost of someone else's problem.

[Perfect Storm]

Follow the instructions in the post above yours. Same issue

Concerning your issue - there isn't anything to figure out. Rim took the servers down, and whenever they come back up - we'll all be peachy (this was explained in the initial post of this thread). You'll get that error message until they decide to fire up the servers again.

I'm just wondering, how's the data usage on this thing? Is it a big data hogger? I'm on a 25MB

Does not work on Rogers Wireless network (yet) I believe there is no data transport service book offered on the Rogers network yet for the Live Messenger, replacing the service books with the ones in the zip above wil not help.

Mods you may have to close the thread until RIM puts it's servers back up, that may be the only way to stop this thread from having 500 posts like this one....

Our main concern is if we close this thread we'll have 90 other threads open about the problems connecting to AIM, MSN and ICQ. It's better to just have all the posts here.

I am, for the most part, just ignoring this thread now though.

Who is your provider? Did you follow the exact steps as jungleland and jibi provided or are you using a different method?

[Ryan8700]

Rogers, and yes the same method. I just finally got the DS back on my computer so I thought I'd try it - I got on and left it on for a bit but it disconnected, and when I went back on, it stopped working. Its not working now.

[woobie the three]

So heres a funny thing, that happened when i changed the service books, besides allowing the new IM clients to work (however briefly) it also took away the ability for me to choose between "on handheld" or "on mailbox and handheld" when i went to delete messages from my phone. It just gave me the option to "delete" or "cancel"

I have reverted to original service books and will wait till these are official releases, (since they are not working anymore anyway). these are the kind of bugs that 'hopefully' will disappear in an official rollout.

good luck - and if anyone figures a way to fix this before the real release , and the IM clients are working again. drop me a line
