I have the new Windows Live suite installed that includes Live Messenger. However, I have to manually login each time. I seem to recall that there was a way to have it automatically detect a connection to the Internet and logged you in (a setting.)
Can't find it in the latest version.
Any ideas?
For all those problems, the e-mail with Windows Live (no longer in the standby display off) Live come in here the better solution:
Get the inside scoop gmail account, which is indeed free. Thus Live Push Mail works with ActiveSync!

I've linked my Facebook Account to my Live ID. But my Facebook contacts don't show up in the Messenger or Message Hub. Any ideas?
same problem here!
I managed to get mine working..
I linked the two services.. and it took several minutes for "Facebook chat" to become available on windows live messenger on the PC.. once it was, I disabled and re-enabled facebook chat on windows phone and it started working
Yeah waiting did the trick Works great, I like Mango
I had the same problem. Just wait and they will eventually show up.
So i installed the Mango Beta, but i have had trouble setting up Facebook chat.
Every time i go to, it try to do it, it clearly tries to do some oAuth authentication. Most of the time i get a "The address is not valid" in a browser control. Sometimes i get another weird error (it hasn't come up in a while).
So I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this, if they have had they had any success, or if they have found a way around it?
I have tried over both 3g and Wifi.
Same problem on my wp, and i still haven't had success

It seems that you have to add the Facebook Service via Live so that the Facebook Chat gets enabled. I have managed to activate FB Chat on my phone now, but still there are no contacts online. Gonna have to look into that.
Some people said to delete the Facebook account from the phone and add it again but it didn't work for me, same error :/
Works fine for me, I already had fb connected to live though so try that

I already had it set up with live for 9months or so now.
But i just checked it now, and it enabled its self and is working AFTER (about 30minutes after) i went to account settings and syncronised my facebook account...
Its must just be a werid beta issue
I don't think it is a WP issue (well the whole page loading error is) but my contacts aren't populating the desktop client. Everyone has reported that once the desktop client populated with FB chat friends, that it immediately started working on their phone. So there is some issue going on between IM and FB.

i'm exactly into the same issue like you
Ya i guess that's the problem once you're connected.
My contacts are also not shown in the Windows Live Messenger. (I have to admit - I do not have the Messenger installed, but the contacts are not shown on the Windows Live Website neither)

I was able to force my Windows Live and Facebook accounts to sync up by just going to accounts and pressing them and choosing 'sync'. Did Windows Live first, then Facebook and a minute later all was well.

I was also able to get mine to work doing this.
Took a bunch of hours, but Facebook Chat finally works perfectly.
Mine says "error0" or something like that when go to my Facebook account in Email+Accounts, can't use Facebook chat.

Tried everything I can. Went into FB on my computer, deleted the Live Messenger client, re-installed. Everything, but nothing. When add friends, it says I either have no friends, or that I already invited them.
Dunno.

Set everything up, and just sit tight for a day. Let is all sink in.
I just got my fb chat working this is how you do it!
Disable facebook chat in the message settings.
Login to your live.com account you used for your phone.
add facebook if it's not under services already. it is click on it anyways and just then click on save. Back on live.com you should now see messenger friends, and it should show all the people facebook available for chat.
Now go to your phone, settings, email accounts, and sync the live account first, then sync your facebook account.
Go back to messaging and settingsm turn fb chat on and everyone should show up! Atleast this is what worked for me, but you have to login to live.com on your laptop, not your phone.

I just manually sync'd my account & it worked fine after... Took my phone a little to pull in my exchange contacts tho

I notice that some people say they have a problem with using Facebook chat not been able to connect. I had the same problem and I'm not sure if its already been said but it could be down to your service provider, a possible solution anyway.
How can I back this up? I notice that that when I try to connect through Virgo mobile it won't connect. But when I do it through WiFi it connects perfectly. I'm not sure 100% but it maybe that, it only ever connects for me when I use WiFi so not sure if its bug with phone or not, just a thought though.
i noticed, that my facebook chat didint work until i allowed my windows live messenger to link to facebook chat via the windows live messenger client on my desktop..
perhaps u can try it..

I too for the longest time couldn't get it to work. Tried this the other day and it works like a charm. I guess I figured since I had synced my fb contact information it would be good to go, but you need to manually lync up Messenger and FB.
