I have been trying to find software, or a plug in for Activesync, anything at all that will allow for me to sync my phone call log with my PC. I know that it is a file there fore it can be extracted and translated for the pc some how. Does anyone at all, know how I can do this?
The obvious question would be: "What do you want to sync it WITH?"
But there is something that sort-of does this.
If you have Pocket Informant, and buy their JournalSync ActiveSync add-on, it will synchronise your Outlook Journal, which will include all numbers dialed via PocketInformant.
I bought PocketInformant, and soon after JournalSync for that very reason. But then, I PocketInformant controls my life!!

I think it serve your need.
try modaco smart journal: works with Pocket PC Phone and Smarthpone. Syncs to outlook journal

Call Log
I tried the program from MoDaco, and it did not work for me, but it would have been ideal since it moves things into Outlook. I tried the Jeyo product, and it will be good to tide me over for now. If there is anything else that comes out, let me know!
Fellow xda people...
I'm a ms messenger addict, well I like it anyway and I've been looking forward to using it on my vario over uk T-mobile web'n'walk...I'm running black 2.5 so now I have the "windows live" thing on my today screen and I'm signed in...
thing is, seems to work...but i CANT STAND the way it insists on putting all my MSN contacts into my contact list! Does this annoy anyone else? Anyone found any clever work arounds?
Typical of microsoft trying to integrate an app and take over the whole machine - horrible?
cheers

its so annoying...almost makes me want to use a different messenger client?
using black 2.0. cannot sign windows live from yesterday until now. it said no internet connectivity but i am connected with gprs and also wifi. can surf net also. it the mobile server different from the desktop?
I'm talking about the contacts in particular....
anyone else use messenger - windows live....polluting my contacts !
I had the same problem when I first used the live messenger beta a few months back. The final version does have the "sync contacts" optionality but as you say it still syncs them and creates duplicates and rubbish!
The only work around I found was to use outlook to copy and paste all the relevant info from the original contacts details into the new contacts created by messenger and then deleting the old one. This then avoids the duplication next time you flash and set up live.

That seems to work the best for me, I don't have to many contact and it wasnt that hard for me to delete them all and put them back in again - when you do this it asks what sort of contact you want - I think MS should have included a wizard that goes through your contacts when you first install them asking if you want Outlook, Contacts List and/or Messenger for each contact.
Another problem I found was everytime it synced from phone to computer, it would change my Messenger contacts, I found that if you edit the contact in Windows Messenger and make sure the name info is the same as what is one the phone has stored, it solves this problem, my contacts sync OK now.
I have the same issue, so i just reverted to using Pocket MSN...
Someone posted a workaround in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1236933&postcount=22
Don't know if it's working since I didn't have time to install Live Messenger and try it out. Can someone try it?
My Workaround ...
Yeah,
I had the exact same problem. And i have HEAPS of contacts both messenger and outlook ... and of course ... i'm ridiculously anal about having everything exactly perfect ... so i fixed my contacts and reinstalled my phone ... hah
What i found worked for me, was before syncing the first time, make sure that you have outlook contacts corresponding to the email addresses of your messenger contacts. (ie: if windows live messenger sees you have an outlook contact with the same email address, it will just attach the msn display pic etc to that contact.
- Phixx
cheers for this...infuriating !
I have now taken the route one approach...deleted all the daft MS Messenger contacts and removed Windows Live from my today screen (I would delete it if I could)....Hope I never see it again!
The best way to deal with it is to make sure all of your contacts in MS Live have contact entries in Outlook. It sucks, but once you have all of your contacts sync'd up, it's pretty cool: you can see people's online status anywhere you see their contact info on the phone.
BTW; no matter what route you take, you MUST back up your Live contacts and your Outlook contacts on your PC. Seriously. Do it now. I made the mistake of not doing that, and during one of my many reloads, I somehow managed to wipe out my entire Outlook contacts list *and* my Windows Live contact list. It was not a fun day restoring that.
Go to Contacts->Save instant messenging contacts in Windows Live on your PC.
yeah, but i don't want my instant messenger stuff anywhere near my contacts...to me it's a separate app! (or it should be) MS trying to be too clever by half.
What would be nice is if it put the messenger emails in contacts under "emails" Ie personal / business and email catogries.
It really is quite annoying when sifting through the contact list to find a phone number and having to sift through 100's of mail addresses too.
Of course I do try to use the smart dialing but they still come up.
Just having to do these work arounds every reinstall / HR e.t.c is tedious at best.

I want to do the same thing, only I can't find the install for pocket MSN, the only one I could find was on the MS site where you have to pay for it.. it came with my TyTN so I don't want to pay MS another €15 for it!
Can you please provide me the install file? whether it is in PM or in the thread
Thanks alot man
I quite like the way it works.. It's a little bit annoying if you have contacts who have really messed up their details online so that it can't link them to a phone contact, but other than that I really like it.
It would be nice if there was an advanced sync option where you could somehow pair orphan people on MSN to people in contacts on the phone so that it was aware they were the same person.. but I'm not gonna complain too much.
or just give you an option to turn it off.
I'm having an absolute nightmare with this!
I really like the idea in concept and want it to work.
I deleted the contacts it added to my phone adress book cos it looked messy not realising that when I sync'd with my PC it would delete them all (85) from messenger!
So I started re adding my msn contacts being careful to also have a corresponding Outlook contact and all was going well. I was getting them linked up nicely. Now all of a sudden, they've all gone again from my MSN on my PC!
I want this feature to work, I don't simply want to turn it off as some of you have done. How should I go about this?
Yes, me too.. There are nice features in Live messenger for WM, like showing display picture, voiceclip, sending files, pictures, etc, but this contacts problem is so darn annoying! I wish some wizzguy could look into a hack or solution

Hi there.
I feel it is very annoying to sync msn contact to my phone book....is there a way to use live messenger without sync the msn contacts?
Or i have use back the msn messenger on WM5?
Thanks in advance...
In the messaging client delete your Live Account. The recreate it. One of the steps ask you what you want to sync - contacts, calenda (i think) and/or email. Just dont select contacts.
also search. this has been covered many times and its not WM6 specific so it should be addressed in the Hermes forum.... actually should be in the general forum because it affects all PPC's
hi i have upgrade my phone to WM6 but now the pocket MSN is gone. i dont have hotmail and MSN anymore. is there a way to get it back onto the phone? thanks
pocket msn no longer exists...
do a search for windows live messenger, there are some cab files floating around here n there..
I sure wish I could upgrade to WM6.. apparently there are no upgrades for Cingular 8125... .. help if you know of one that wont screw up my phone for good.... or at all for that matter.
Hi all,
Is there any way to prevent outlook from blocking external pictures in the emails with WM6? It is really annoying to have to click twice on that tab to get them.
I looked in the forum first (long time) and couldn't find any info, also looked in the registry but nothing obvious.
For info, I get the emails from hotmail using windows live.
Thanks a lot
