hello all - i'm using b&b4.1 on my orbit (cheers tom!) and I was just wondering if there was a way in contacts to view only the contacts on the phone i.e. not live contacts or sim contacts? Also, having signed into msn I now have 100’s of unwanted contacts under different names and I can’t seem to be able to sync the contacts with outlook or windows address book so that I can delete/rename most of them. Anyone used an app to work around this – if possible I’d love to use pocket CM but is there a PC syncing utility?
Cheers

I have upgraded to mUn_2.00.SE_WWE_GPS and everything seems fine apart from the orange voicemail bug mentioned in another post.
Messenger synchronized my msn contacts onto the phone so I had 2 of each which was fine as I have all ready read about this issue.
So I updated the msn ones and started to remove the original ones from the phone.. They have a different icon
All appeared fine. It would tell me when my contacts were on line etc etc.
I then went to outlook and made sure there were no contacts in there so I could have a fresh updated list of contacts when it synced.
However these contacts will not synced. I created a test one in outlook and that synced fine to my phone. Am I missing something here??
All I want to have is the same contacts on my phone/windows live and outlook. Surely this can be achieved??
Are you using ActiveSync 4.5 already...? I suspect that might have got something to do with your issue
Do you get any error-messages at all ? Giving us some more clues....?
And very important: what version of Outlook do you run ?
more info, hope you can help now
I have it synced with 2 machine and neither work.
1 is windows XP with active sync 4.5 and outlook 2003 the 2nd is vista with the mobile device center and office 2007.
I can sync normal contacts created on the phone or in outlook it is just the ones imported from live messenger that will not copy back to my outlook contacts.
I have a feeling the phone does not recogonise these as contacts as they have a different icon from ones created on the phone. It looks like a grey folder rather than the little address card.
Please help
Hmmmzz....actually this is very interesting; i didn't dare using Live Messenger up until now just BECAUSE of the syncing of ALL messenger contacts into Outlook. Now that you report that it doesn't, the question raises if M$ has meant this to be...
Then again; did you check the settings under Windows-Live (on your Trinity)? You can go to 'options' with the right soft-key, and there are 6 setting menu's there, where you need option 2 to check the box in front of 'Contacts and Messenger'
Let me know if that worked for you...
contacts sync'd to phone but not outlook
what has happened is all the msn contacts have sync'd to the phone but not to outlook.... any ideas why
update
on the menu. select what you want to sync both contacts and messenger and merge duplicates with outlook are ticked

contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list
contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list.
sim contacts
outlook contacts
msn contacts
are shown whithin the same contact browser but are not really merged.
Each contact type only syncs with it`s proper sourec, pocket outlook wit desktop outlook, msn with msn (or say "live"), and SIM contacts with SIM-import-export programs.
that's all and that's ok.
the real issue is that i find "show SIM-contacts merged yes/no" but cannot find "show msn contacts merged yes/no".
it sucks, but not really too much.

Hi guys,
I followed a guide on here... connected then deleted all the emails off my phone etc..
But now I have no contact on msn / hotmail on my pc or my phone?!?!?!
AWESOME.
Anyway to get them back?
Thanks.
MSN Live contacts disappear.
Hi,
So sorry for this, it's has happened to me, it usually occurs when you connect your phone to PC and Sync, and by default ActiveSync is set to 'Export' so if your Outlook has no contacts, that means it exports an empty Contacts DB to your phone, in other words it deletes all your contacts off your phone, then when you connect to Windows Live and sync your contacts, again, that will further export an empty DB from your phone's contacts to your Hotmail contacts DB, which will further delete your contacts off that and that will result in losing your MSN contacts. I had to manually re-create all my contacts, it's so annoying, in the future always create a CSV file of your contacts as a backup, also the same on your phone, use a little freeware called PPC PIM Backup, to backup your contacts. To conclude you lost your contacts for good and you just need to start inputting manually, but be aware of the above in the future.
Regards,
I used my "ALLOW" list to restore the contacts...
good luck.
Been there, done that
Yep. Happened to me too. Luckily Adium had a backup of all my contacts so it asked if I wanted to add them all when I launched it after Live Messenger messed things up.
I have many contacts that I only have on MSN. Since I've started using WM6 and Windows Live for MSN on my device it has added all of my MSN contacts to my phone contacts - this is a huge pain when it comes to finding the person I want to call.
I know I can show only those I have phone numbers using a category filter, but this resets when I close contacts or reset the device. Does anyone know a way I can permanently hide my MSN contacts from my phone's contacts list?
Thanks.
I have same proplem
anyone have answer?
Just check the option in MSN Messenger / Windows Live so that it doesn't synchronize contacts anymore.
After switching from sync'ing to Microsoft Exchange to Google (both via Activesync), I am now in the strange position that if I try to access my contacts via TF3D (with the slider to contacts), my contacts are empty, whereas if I go to Contacts via All Programs, I have all of my contacts.
Does anyone else have any experience with this? Any solution known?
Hey there,
I try to sync my contacts and calender online. At the moment I use Windows Live. The problem is that I only can sync from pc to mobile phone, but I'd like to do it the other way and get the contatcs to the windows contact list easily. I do not use outlook.
How can I do it this way?
