Live Mesh for Mobile: Mobile Phone Support List

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:28:58 Z

As many of you already know, the ability to access your mesh on a mobile phone through a special WAP site (http://m.mesh.com) has been available for a little while now. Some of you have already been discussing your experiences using different mobile phones here on the forums. The purpose of this thread is to list the issues (or, hopefully, lack thereof) with any and all mobile devices people have tested, and we need your help. If you’ve tried Live Mesh on your mobile phone, please report your experiences here.

We will periodically update this initial post with new reports from within the thread, so search the list below first. If your phone isn’t listed, then please go ahead and reply, and let us know how it works.

Thanks for helping us test Live Mesh for Mobile,

The Live Mesh Team

@Muffin Man 13 sorry the quoting function did not appear to work :-(

If the issue sounds like what I think it is... make sure you have Cleartype disabled on landscape.

Schap's brilliant "Advanced Config 3.3" will allow you to easily configure this setting (you can download from here)

Well i don't know where you guys are getting these Mobile Clients. I had one and it never ever connected or worked on my TILT(don't remember how i got it in the first place) but I deleted it. Now I can't find any link for downloading one. Also Got tired of reading "COMING SOON FOR MOBILE" on the desktop. Anyhow, I'm fast losing interest. What I really find amusing is, the mobile link would never let me sign in from Pocket IE--NEVER. I soft reset. I cleared History. I tried everything. Last night I was playing around with SkyFire and it suddenly occured to me to go to Live Mesh from Skyfire. Yeah, you guessed it. Signed me right in. Fired right up. I keep trying to stop MS bashers, but man it's hard sometimes not to just throw in the towel. I read enough Forums to know that a lot of problems are Operator Failure, but I read and re-read all those Tutorials for this thing and it just shouldn't be this much trouble.

Sorry if you answered your own question earlier, but just in case- the mobile client should be available when you visit live mesh from your phone, but before you can see it, your Live ID must be granted access to use it, which you can get by visiting:

Palm T|X update:

Although it was thought to be completely discontinued, the IBM WebSphere environment is now updated to 5.7.2 and available for purchase from PocketGear.
The 5.7.2 update includes JSR75 support, allowing Palm devices to theoretically upload/download files
Opera Mini has been updated for the T|X, and the latest version of Opera Mini supports JSR75, however,
Opera Mini does not have a "signed" version for the T|X, so file uploading still doesn't work. The button now appears, but Opera won't allow the action due to not being signed.
With the latest updates in both the JVM and Opera Mini, it seems far more stable and less likely to crash my T|X.
With Palm focusing on the Prē and webOS, I don't really expect any more Blazer updates.
Still the same deal with Blazer: No upload at all, and I still get random filenames when trying to download via Blazer. Opera is pretty much the best browser now for Live Mesh on PalmOS devices.

I tried it on the Blacberry Storm (9530) using default browser, and it seemed to work well.

It would only open .txt files from mesh.com

My .xls files it gave me the option to save them, or it gave "Unsupported media type: application/excel" error, and wouldn't display. Once saved I could open in Excel.

.doc files it would only allow me to save, then I could open.

.pdf files couldn't open, but not sure if app is installed.

If it is running Windows Mobile 6.x, it should work. I am not familiar with the Blackberry line to know for sure what OS it is running, nor can I confirm if it works fine.

Nothing has been announced for any additional operating systems or devices. Since the vision of Live Mesh is to allow sharing of data between all devices and the cloud, it would not be out of the question. At this point, though, I believe you are limited to manually uploading/downloading data via the phone's browser.

I have had lot's of success with the Samsung Omnia, but over the weekend I got the Time Sync with Server issue. I was pointed to
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMeshMobile/thread/febc6709-1575-441d-a327-8a9ef087aa7e, to install the client again. My question, is this really the case? Is my client old and a new beta was released.?

If I install again, will the mobile client pickup up the folder on my phone I am already syncing? This was not the case last time I had to install.

Live Mesh for Mobile: Mobile Phone Support List

Tue, 05 May 2009 15:41:24 Z

Yes, it is really the case. The problem had to do with the way that the update was deployed, nothing specific to your device. Your client updated, but it is broken - a reinstall is needed to set things straight.
I don't know the specific cause, but as long as you are not running WM6.5, the solution in the thread you pointed to is good. You will not lose the foldes, as I recall they are recognized already, but I'd suggest reviewing the settings after you reinstall.

Try removing Live Mesh from the phone via the Settings/Programs dialog, then reset the device (soft reset) and try the install again.

If that still fails, this post explains how to submit the log and file a bug report.

Have found that there exists a mobile application (.NET Compact Framework?) which acts as a client application. But has only few features and I prefer m.mesh.com at the moment ;-) (hope the content-disposition problem will be solved asap)

Unfortunately, the best that I can do is advise you to submit your logs with a bug report. I see that you saw the other thread. It is possible that there is a conflicting program running on that device or some service dependency that is broken.
And

but slightly lower level of performance as a useful

Power consumption if it will not be preferred if the market is a program...

but I don't think it has to do with the treo specifically, because others have also reported the problem.

p.s. I love Live Mesh! :D
