Yahoo network issues

Posted by nadine on December 11th, 2007

Early this morning we noticed some problems with our Yahoo connection which caused erroneous “Wrong username/password” messages.

After a couple of minutes of studying the logs and stepping through the sourcecode we found the issue and it was quickly resolved.

Servers are being upgraded as we speak, so Yahoo service should be restored fully in a short while.

  14. Captain Gabe Says: May 9th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    MSN Messenger works for me, however Yahoo IM tries to long on indefinitely until I cancel the attempt. I’ve verified the UN/PW are correct. Looks like an issue with the eBuddy backend server.

  15. Captain Gabe Says: May 9th, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    I neglected to mention that I’m running eBuddy on my Nokia 6300 with the T-mobile unlimited packet data plan.

  16. Captain Gabe Says: May 9th, 2008 at 6:19 pm

    Belay that. It’s working now. Must have been a temporary problem someone where in the pipe. Good product. Glad you field it!

    Hey Cutler, same problem here. With different accounts i sign in properly, free error, but every time i try mine, the error ’server is busy’ appears and connection fails and if you try for a couple of times it just stays struck in connecting mode and no conclusion then you throw your phone etc. Ive been going freaking bananas last hours, hope it gets worked out soon. Otherwise i’d like to hear someone paying attention on our problem. (:

  30. Nudge Says: July 29th, 2008 at 7:09 am

  34. Waqas Says: July 30th, 2008 at 7:38 am

    Hi !
    I have been using ebuddy on mobile from more than a year. It was real fun to chat from mobile. But 2 days ago, on 28th July, 2008, my MSN didnot connect and it said “Server is Busy” . I’ve been trying from whole 2 days to sign in my MSN in ebuddy in my mobile, but everytime it gives same error, but wen i use any other MSN id, it connects. Whats wrong with my MSN id, why it always say “Server is Busy”.
    Then later i tried ebuddy on website, but the same error comes there too.
    Why is this so ?!!
    Please help me, its really important for me to come online from my ebuddy mobile.
    Help Please!!

  35. Waqas Says: July 30th, 2008 at 8:05 am

    Hi There,
    I was using ebuddy mobile from a long time. But now, I am facing a problem!!
    I’ve been trying from many days to sign in my MSN in ebuddy in my mobile, but everytime it gives same error, but wen i use any other MSN id, it connects. Whats wrong with my MSN id, why it always say “Server is Busy”.
    Then later i tried ebuddy on website, but the same error comes there too.
    Why is this so ?!!
    My Msn is working fine on Windows Live Messenger on computer, but my MSN id doesn’t connect in Ebuddy ( computer or mobile ) both. It says “Server is busy”.
    Where as in my mobile or computer, my friends can sign in their MSN ids in ebuddy.
    Whats wrong with my MSN id ????
    why its giving me error everytime ????

    All other Networks work, like Yahoo works, Google talk also works, whats wrong with MSN ?? why it didnot connect ??
    Help Please !

  36. harlequinjack Says: July 31st, 2008 at 1:06 am

    Guys i figured that out. I use ebuddy on my mobile but also i’ve some other messenger programs on mobile and if you’re registered on this messenger programs with the same nickname i guess server stucks and doesnt let you sign in. Try another username then try to connect. I did and my ebuddy works fine now after an ‘errored’ week.

  37. harlequinjack Says: July 31st, 2008 at 1:23 am

    Also guys, they answered my mail about the problem, there you go.

    ‘Dear eBuddy User,

    Thanks for the mail!!

    We have had some issues with logging in MSN accounts over the past week.
    This issue should now be resolved and logging in should no longer generate this
    error message.

    Please try logging in through the eBuddy Mobile Messenger.
    If the log in process still fails, please let us know through feedback@ebuddy.com

    Our apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

    Best regards,

    Rachid
    eBuddy Team’

  60. dave Says: June 30th, 2009 at 12:05 am

    I have been having problems with yahoo messenger lately. It keeps logging me out saying I have signed in from another location. The problem is the server. On pidgin messenger for my linux desktop, I changed the server to the canadian and everything works fine now. I cannot find out how to do that on ebuddy. If someone from ebuddy reads this, please fix it. Thanks.
