contacts problems

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.
http://mobile.live.com/GoLive/ got here for more info

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.

Delete all contacts

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.

Is it possible to do so when you click all contract in contacts in TF3D then it open funcontact, and not the normal contact list.
and the same in sms when you click the sms then it open sms chat, and not the normal one.?
Plz help if you understand

It is possible only for the contacts (at least for now).

SSMapa does what you need. For the sms' it's not possible yet because if you replace the tmail.exe then when you click on messages you will be able to have vito sms chat, but the same thing will happen if you click on seeing your emails.

MSN Multiple Accounts

Hi, I've had my Touch HD for a couple of weeks now nearly and loving it and this is my first post on the forum so I hope it's in the right section.
I have a quick question regarding Windows Live Messenger / MSN on the phone. I notice when you sign into your account it will say "signing in as: username" is there any possible way to have more than one account registered so I can switch between them when signing in ? I have both personal and business accounts to use.
On a side note, I know that Fring / Palringo / Nimbuzz etc will allow multple IM accounts but I don't like any of their interfaces and don't really want to have another app installed just for one function if I can help it.
Are there any methods or cab files that will help me out ? Cheers.

So no-one has any ideas ? I can't find anything like this using the search. On a desktop pc you can run "Messenger Plus" from http://www.msgplus.net/ which will enable you to run 2 instances of MSN with differnet users. Is something like this possible on the Touch HD instead ?

I've been looking for this too
I'm looking at 3rd party messengers as they won't link with Windows Live and save your details.
=P

Not sure if this is what you are looking for - but this could be one of the solutions:
From your programs, Go to your Windows Live> Menu>Account Options>2. Switch Account

i use msn live messenger for one account and an old version(pocket msn) of msn messenger for the other one.. they both work fine..

Have you ever tried Palringo?

Search e-mails

I am coming back to Dash after a while with Palm and PocketPC, so excuse my ignorance.
I tried to search the answer to my question, but I guess it is too general.
Is there a way to search for e-mails? I mean input text and let the PDA search for different fields. I know that PPC has a Search in the main menu and my old Treo 680 has even hardware button.
Any idea how you can search through e-mails and/or other items such as tasks, calendar, or others. Any idea?

depending on the rom you have on your device, you just start typing while in your inbox.
for example: if i was searching for an email about your mom, while in the inbox, i would type "koli..."

I am using ookba's 3EVO ROM and I just tried it and it works. But it does not work in the tasks or calendar. Is there such a tool, which would allow me search through tasks and calendar? Also, the e-mail search searches only through name, subject and address. I wondered if I could search through body of the message.
Thanks

SmartphoneFind will do that, but not free and it is slow at searching as it seems to be searching everything or searching algorithm is slow i dont know. u can try it for 30 days, from here:

I dont use email on my Phone, but if you go into the START MENU then TOOLS and then click SMS Tools Pack ... that has a search feature...I dont know if that works for the e-mails though. It is worth a shot...
This can also be access from the SMS/MMS inbox by clicking the MENU SoftKey and go down to (#8 ?) SMS Pack.
Good Luck

Thanks for the advice (I like when people spend their two cents ). I checked it but it works only for the SMS. But it appears to works with keywords through the body which is nice to know.
Anyway, if somebody has another two cents I am all poor in this department.

MSN?

So would it be possible to make an offical-ish looking app that works like MSN on blackberrys? I bloody hate the 3rd party IM clients im currently stuck with, I only care about MSN not AIM or bloody Yahoo.
I don't mind making up art work, I can't code to save myself however

what do you mean that works on blackberrys?
If you mean one that can communicate with BBIM then thats not possible, thats only for Blackberrys.
Also there is no official android MSN app. Ebuddy works fine, you only need to add a MSN account and then it wont show or ask you about anything else. It will auto sign in your MSN account when you launch your app and then you can start chatting away. There is nothing wrong with Ebuddy

msntalk is free on the market. working very fine for me. its not adfree but not that disturbing

No no for blackberry or to communicate, I mean something that looks like the MSN app provided by Microsoft/Blackberry, I am aware of eBuddy as I currently use it, In my opinion it is nasty but also the best of them, Why I was hoping to go about getting a official looking MSN app on Android

I would love a real MSN Client. Like in Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.
With:
- Change your User Icon
- Change your Nickname
- Change your Personal Message
- Offline Messaging
- Able to send and receive buzzers
- Able to send and receive files.
- While looking good without crappy iPhone-style bubbles (Looking at you eBuddy!)

I would be happy with just standard messages with the ability to change Nickname and personal message, User icon would be a bonus all the other stuff im not TO fussed about, especially since "Windows Live" has changed the send on files like photo to a sharing experience

Is it just T-Mo UK that blocks MSN via 3G, then (that is, the official version on :1873).

As far as im aware the "Official" version is made and provided by Three and only works on there network

Any pictures of this 'Three' version? Also, isn't there a way to reverse engineer their stuff

OT: I prefer to use Google Talk for chatting. Is anyone else using transports to connect to ICQ and MSN via Google Talk?

I have it on my phone but it's very basic.
I can't take a picture of it because I don't get a 3G singnal in my house. When you open MSN if it dosen't detect a 3G network it says Please connect to the 3G network and then just shuts down.

Thats why transports are used to chat to your ICQ and MSN (and other IM services) buddies from Google Talk.

As I said anybody that I actually want to talk to is on MSN, In the UK ICQ or AIM weren't really popular, so everyone of interest is on MSN

Correct!
And I said I'm chatting to MSN buddies from Google Talk App...

MSN Talk is the best I've found so far, does everything you want and has a very nice UI aswell.

Hm, my Google Talk android app fc's on me, when I try to contact a MSN contact via transports. Any comment on that ?

Here it works all fine...

Can you tell which phone / rom / gtalk version ? And possibly the jabber msn transport server (doubt that would make a difference, protocol is protocol) ?
