Windows Live Wave 4 Milestone 2... Some screenshots and info


Recommended Posts

Another thing. The Mail is unstable in this build. I know it must be fixed in M3 since the screenshots show a mail icon indicting amound of mail like in WLM 2009. But in 2010 M2 it just shows a Windows Live Mail icon at the bottom of your contact list (Where the today button is etc) and shows 99+ for me. And since I am on Vista. Right clicking the Messenger icon in my Taskbar shows I have 65528 new messages. When I don't so It is a problem. But hopefully get's fixed.

Thanks for letting me know ... might give it a miss for now then, although I might be giving it a miss permanently until I upgrade to Win7 as it doesn't want to install on XP ...

I didn't test it properly, but in the leak closing the contact list shuts down Messenger and there is no way to set it to just hide in the taskbar when clicked on close. VERY annoying if you ask me...

i love the leaked beta. runs very smooth and stable here. the new messenger features are great imho. and i can confirm that facebook integration doesnt work sadly - any idea when it will?

Leak has a major bug beware once you have sign into the leak no contacts can send you any files,winks or nudges. when u revert back to Wave 3 contacts still cannot send you any files. it tells them you are using a older version of msn. Seems to be related to the email address and not the version of msn you are running.

Could just be because of old installation files left behind...

Hmm seems right. My Friend with Wave 3 can only send me smilies... :( May just be a bug. May fix after using Wave 3 again for a while or some other thing. Just may need time to revert to Wave 3 settings.

No problems here at all. Did you use a bad patch perhaps?

Edit: Just to point out, Winks and Nudges are annoying as hell anyways, I would be glad to be rid of them

You won't be able to get support for this because you are using a version which has not been released by Microsoft. Unreleased builds, especially leaks of internal builds, are not supported.

yea but would they know that I was using a leaked build if I dont tell them

ok if its not possible

the live id that I use is gmail, is it possible to export the contacts then disactivate the gmail account in windows live then create a new one based on the same gmail address and then import the contacts back in is this possible and will my contacts still be added to me or does my email address get removed from their contacts list

well after using Wave 4 for just over a week, the annoying features for me where as follows

1) Social pane popping up when i open messenger - i want my main contact list to open first, and not the social pane

2) typing messages where really slow, it was like there was a delay in pressing a key and the letter appearing on the screen

yea but would they know that I was using a leaked build if I dont tell them

Until you start bringing up features that they know for sure you can't possibly have yet.

I'm astounded that you're expecting so much support for software that is not public yet.

Would I really need to say these features though all I could say is im using version 9, and when people in my contact list try to send me either a nudge, file or wink, they get an error and that it cant be done or whatever it says. So would they be able to tell if I was on this version or not

Im not expecting so much support, I just wanted to know if it was possible to disactivate an account and to be able to use the same account address again and still have me in their contact list

Didn't these problems only come about when you installed the new version though? It is likely a bug in that version of the client, rather than something specifically related to your account. Perhaps it's best to try uninstalling and reinstalling the Wave 3 (2009) version of Messenger, to see if that corrects the problem?

It's your account. I just reformatted my computer and reinstalled 2009 Wave 3. And my friends can't send me nudges,emoticons or winks :( Just great. Gonna have to make a whole new email cause of this :(

    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
