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.
Delete all contacts

Thanks!

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!!
Installed the official 2.5 ROM for my TP2 and synched contacts with FB. What REALLY annoys me is that the birthdate is on the contact card but it doesn't update on the calendar. Now if I type in the birthdate manually it shows up on the calendar.
Is there any way to make this happen automatically? I have searched to no avail and any help would be very welcome

If this one doesn't work i've seen a coulpe other posts around, so take a look.
Thanks a bunch, I'll try them out later today.
Have a great easter
Checked out the thread you pointed me to, and some people say it should update automatically when synching to Outlook, which I am, and it doesn't do that. Hm. Maybe it's an issue with the Sense 2.5 ROM?

One obvious way is to link accounts, do an update to get pictures, birthdates, etc., then disable Facebook for each account for which you don't want status updates. That's what I do. Another way is to set Facebook updates to never, so it never updates statuses (or anything else) until you ask it to do so manually. Most people's pictures don't change that often, and birthdays even less often.
Well, I know about 95% of the questions at the moment are going to involve the new Froyo OTA question, so if someone can answer this I'd appreciate it lots.
Basically.. I installed the new Facebook app from the Market, and I synced my contacts (maybe it happened before that, I don't really know) but for some reason, it's come up with over 1700 contacts.. All the same people, just with lots saying "com.facebook.auth.login" when I go in to a specific contact.. For example, I've synced most of my contacts with Google aswell, which looks like the image I've uploaded..
But why is there 4x com.facebook.auth.login there? There really shouldn't be 1.. And is there any way to get rid of them?
Dan
i've got the same issue except some contacts just show 1 com.auth.... where as some others have over 8! this is on a desire by the way with the new 2.2 OTA update
I had the exact same problem. It's a conflict between the Facebook for Android and Facebook for HTC Sense apps. Seeing that I could only get rid of the FB for Android, that's what I did and now all my contacts are fine.
Is there any way to ditch the FB for HTC Sense? I don't want it, the Android app is much nicer looking and probably works better, too.
Anybody know of a calendar that will actually tell you how old someone is once you put in their birthday? I use to have a windows mobile phone and I could put in someone's birthday and then each year it would tell me their age ie: Bill's birthday (34). I haven't been able to find any calendar that can do this on android. Any help??
Yeah so ive probably just been stupid and not thought of something here but anyways...
We cant sync facebook contacts anymore because facebook and google have had a lovers tiff.
I want my contacts to have pictures because it just looks lame without them.
Is there anyway of getting my facebook contacts pictures into my contact list any other without going round all my friends taking pictures of them and using photos from the gallery?
Google + is a no go because im the only god damn one that has it .
Oh and im completely stock 4.0.2 so any hax are are most likely out of the question.
Thanks for any help in advance guys! ( and gals )
Not a real good solution but you can grab each user's picture from FB or whatever and apply it to your contact within GMail. I didn't do it for everyone but I did do it for the people I contact the most.
I've heard HaxSync does that, havent tried it myself + it costs money...So...Here is a link to the app.
I use Friends Sync from the market works ok but you still need to add connection to each contact from your original contacts list bit of a pain I know
HaxSync is WELL worth the money.
HaxSync gets my vote too, worth the 89p-odd it costs
