Not trying to hijack the thread, but I'm also having issues with FB chat/messenger and perhaps the steps I've taken can help us resolve the issues, or at least eliminate some of the possibilities. I use a Trophy (VZW) btw.
I can send messages to my friends and they will receive them most of the time, but it's extremely hit-or-miss whether I receive messages back through the messaging hub and it seems random who I receive them from. I've tried the following to resolve the problem:
FB
-Tried resyncing the account. This didn't work.
-Tried deleting the account from the phone and resyncing altogether. This didn't work. During this process I had some issues with the account not wanting to be removed from the phone even though I had severed the link on the WL website. It finally deleted after removing the FB app from my phone (wtf?). I have no clue why the FB app would prevent an account from being removed or what impact the app has on the messaging service on the phone.
-Removed the service link from Windows Live, then resynced. This didn't work.
-Removed "linked accounts" from the people hub and re-linking. This didn't work.
-Rebooted phone, pulled battery, etc. Didn't work.
I've logged into Facebook through the website and deleted all chat history from messenger and the archives and seem to be getting a solid flow of conversation both in and out from one contact, I have yet to try with others as it's early in the morning (hence the crappy grammar
). She initiated the chat through her phone (Titan II). EDIT: This is no longer working
I also have some slight issues with Windows Live Messenger where I've invited a friend on the website and he appears online, but he won't show up online on my phone. My other contacts are online on the phone, but he alone is not...
MSN
-Not entirely sure how to resolve this problem, but my friend who was experiencing the same issue with his Lumia 900 (he couldn't see me online and I couldn't see him online) managed to resolve the issue by removing the linked accounts from the people hub and then re-linking. He now shows online and is able to send messages to and from me. I've tried doing the same with my other friend who is not appearing online (Trophy) to no avail. Incredibly frustrating.
Messenger seems to be the more reliable service once it's working and appears to be much faster at sending/receiving. I can receive txt messages fine and my data connection is solid. I don't want to wipe my phone as I have game saves, etc. I want to keep but what a PITA.
