I have many contacts of the MSN and is difficult to move by the agenda.
Excuse me for my English
hi
i had to manually delete all my msn contacts from my hotmail acct do not have them synced into my address book on ppc.. its one of the most ridiculous features of live messenger! is there an easy way to NOT have them shown in the address book ?????
I'd also like to know if we have a "trick" to remove those contacts from the smartphone's contact directory *without* deleting them from Homtail's contact list.
Thanks

I have come to realize that I probably will have to live with it as is. This new version gives you the option to consolidate your phone contacts with the messenger contacts and boy did I hate the duplicates in the older version. Maybe the next version will give us a chance to keep them out of the contacts list.

for some reason all my msn messenger contacts were copied to my phone contacts, and its real annoying! anybody know how to take them off?
also, when i dial a number, and then press save, then new contact, it only gives me 2 choices: outlook contact or windows live
wth?? i just want to save this number on my phone.... how would i go about doing that?? thanks

Hey Omar,
Welcome to WM6 . When you want to save a contact like that, just make it an outlook contact, that's the option you want to use. As for having your Messenger contacts merged with your regular ones, I like that feature about as much as you do. Once you sign into messenger your messenger contacts are copied down and merged with the rest. I don't really have a solution, just wanted to explain why it's doing what its doing.... it's a feature of WM6.
Bump.
Have the same issue and seeing if anyone has found a reg entry that this can be disabled.
Annoys the hell out of me. I have 150 msn messenger contacts and hate having them in my contacts on my phone. I think its really stupid for Microsoft to force us have them in there, i wish they'd give us a choice to add or not. Blahh
i use web version of msn messenger now.

This really sucks!!! Yesterday I updated to WM6 and now I'm really pissed off. There is no way to get back before synch? mmmmg

They DO give you an option, last I remember. And I'm pretty sure this was part of WM5 too. When you first use Messenger, I believe it asks you if you wish to merge the two items. I find it a little annoying (I end up with multiple listings for people, IE: Phil vs. Phillip), and I agree, there ought to be a way to disable it.

Look at the "Updated Windows Live Messenger (Messenger Contacts Adding to Phone Book Fix)" part in the 1st post, that's the file you need to disable automated MSN contact book update.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Firstly i'm new to these forums and the exciting concept of flashing ROMs, so hello! I feel like a giddy child.
I've noticed that WinMo 6.5 (and Android) give you the option to link your contacts to Facebook accounts, unfortunately i discovered that for alot of people i know, when associating Facebook accounts through your address book, profile pictures don't all load up in the look-up. This means they can't always be used as Caller images for your contacts.
Currently i'm accessing this featuring by going into edit contact details and clicking the 'Link, Associate with Facebook account' button at the bottom.
Anybody had the same problem or have a work around? Its a very useful feature and something which i was looking forward to using. Maybe there's a method to link facebook accounts en masse?

Facebook integration depends on which manila you're using. 2.5 vs 2.1 act differently when it comes to facebook. 2.5 lets you sync all the contacts at once but doesn't set the picture as the default profile pic so you have to go back and set it (also, it only sets it in manila not wm). 2.1 doesn't have mass sync but automatically sets the picture as your default profile pic.
Hi guys,
i am looking for an enhancement of the possibility of HTC's Contacts to import more information from facebook than only profile-picture, blog and birthday.
For example: phone numbers, mail-adresses, address, etc.
This would be a great enhancement to the existing function which is nice, but... to be true ... not much more than something to play around with.
Thanks for ur help.
Regards
Bjoern
I don't think is gonna possible
I don't think it is possible due to privacy constrain... Facebook does not allowed to access these kind of data
look up something called 'fonebook', it lets you import a lot of stuff to outlook (picture, website, address) but you can't get cell numbers and such since its against like fb policy or something.
google fonebook or look it up on facebook. i use it and its pretty good.

I'm the developer of Fonebook.
If you are a pro user PM me for more info about the import number feature

Also, maybe add the feature that when you import a FB pic, it also updates the Outlook pic automatically.
I have a question, which now puzzles me.
I have a spare TP2 I use for testing various things, but I did something which kinda has puzzled me. I sync-ed my spare with my computer and all the contacts transferred over, all well and good, when I went to check them, I noticed they all have pictures, just as it does in outlook. I purposely had made a folder on my TP2 I use everyday named Contacts to put their pix in their, but the spare doesnt have this folder, so I'm wondering where is this pix being stored cause the Album doesnt show me. Is this embedded in the contact info?
Have a look in the Notes field when viewing Contacts in the native WinMo application.
It's the sort of coding you might do when first programming and self taught. It is not what you would expect to see on a Smartphone in 2010. People need to realise that HTC are not a software house, they are essentially an assembler of electronic components.
I did not give them permission to corrupt my Contacts, so why have they done it?
the picture is embedded in the contact info
HTC does add extra info to the contact notes for information that outlook doesnt have a field for, like if you set it as a favorite on the contact tab it will save the action you assign to it, and it will also store facebook info info there too if you have the contact linked to a facebook account
it has nothing to do with HTC taking shortcuts or anything like that, its how they add information that outlook doesnt support while still maintaining outlook compatibility, HTC could create an entirely separate database if they wanted, but then contacts wouldnt sync with outlook
if you dont want that information then dont use HTC sense, or at the very least, dont use the contacts tab or link facebook accounts (theres probably more but thats all i have in my notes fields)
So in short, I can just get rid of the contacts folder after it sync with outlook? Well thats good to know, that will save space on my SD Card. I had a feeling it got embedded once it sync-ed with Outlook, but just wanted to be sure.
I stumbled over this topic when my sister asked me if her cousin was younger or older than her... My contact list couldn't tell me.
I have no clue why the on-board facebook app doesn't sync birthdays of contacts as well.
After some research I found EboBirthday, which does exactly what I want - however, even though it imports all of the birthdays, the export function only exports about 10% of them to my contacts.
I couldn't find any other app for that purpose, all of them just export to calender.
Anyone got an idea? Is this fixed in Froyo or Gingerbread so I just have to wait for a new ROM?
