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.

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.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
each contact in manilla's contact manager you have to manual link each account "associate with facebook" and it downloads there picture etc
we need a program that can just link all these for you with out going in each one is there anything around ??
Funny... did a quite similar request 23 mins before ^^
how does manilla associate contacts with facebook? where is it stored?
think it depend on which phone/rom you have as i have diamond 2 and dont have that prob.
i use energy 2.5 rom and it does that on my touch pro *fuze* which am happy about because about half my contacts are on my face book, lol
How can I get back to my original contact photo after integrating it with Facebook? I don't want Facebook's avatars.
It's stored in the contact notes. I'm not sure what version of manila you're using but in 2.5, go into the contact, then edit details, click on the picture and you can choose where it grabs it from.
I'm curious about this as well. a friend of my recently changed their phone number and they updated it on facebook, I found it that way... Curious if there was a way to bring more then just what it's gathering now. Sense 2.5 seems to bring in the photo, birthday, status, and album info. If it was just looking at fields in facebook it would just need to know to look at additional fields...

I found that after linking 1 contact I went through the buttons on the bottom. The contact button with the clock had the choice to link all with Facebook.
i go to 2nd contact tab. then click all people. then go to 4th tab. wait for a while. at the top part there.. it shud be showing 15 contact matched. and u can link all them at there.
but then, due to different last name / first name assign on ur phone n their facebook account, probably hardly got more than 20 facebook contact able to linked. i got myself 29 contacts only linked with my winmo by default match.
the rest i did it manually link n sync.
it remember ur link for latest manila 2.5 1921 version though. it saved the link and then u no nid to link another time even u flash / hardreset ur phone.
but for my xperia, rom isnt stable yet. sometimes it download contact display photo n sometimes it dun. but touch pro TAEL rom works great. it auto pull all the display photo for me.
once again, on 4th tab of 'HTC contact' application. u can see all facebook update.
in my HTC HD2 i have to update each contact photo and is very long to do....is there a way to update all contacts using a process like "bulk import" ?
thanks

Try booksync
facebook integration with winmo 6.5.3
is there a way to associate contacts with their facebook profiles in winmo 6.5.3. I know how to do it through the htc contacts...but ive looked at all the options in winmo contacts and i cant seem to find facebook integration.
thanks in advance
Just received my Desire HD and after 1st sync I noticed a message saying "Matched contacts suggestion" with a list of some of my contacts...can anyone advise what this does?
If you're talking about when you link contacts, then I believe it just links certain contacts together into the same contact. You have to check through them though, because sometimes they may be trying to link two different people into the same contact.
Yeah, for example it may suggest you to link a Facebook contact to a phone contact, and if it is the same guy, you will see his Facebook updates when he/she calls you etc.
Yes, linked contact...its strange though as I dont have duplicates, so not sure why it would try to link some contacts...under what criteria? Thanks anyway.

assumedly you've signed into facebook or twitter.
What it's doing is going through your social network friends list and saying "Aha! I have that name in the phonebook. They probably don't want them in there twice, so I'll ask if they want me to link them"
As I'm signed into facebook and twitter via the app and via sense, some of my contacts have 4 links! It's so much better than having 5 contacts in my phonebook for each person
yes, that would make sense..but I dont have facebook or twitter (probably only person on the planet)..I did find in my google contacts online, that as well as "My Contacts", there was a group made called "Other contacts", which had copy of all my contacts, so I deleted the group..everything was ok for a while then I got message again asking if i want to link some contacts..weird.
even worse: no info whatsoever is given with regards to what it means if you tap the name and it becomes green? Do you eed to tap all of them?
pull down the notification bar and open the linked contacts (if its still asking you) and it'll tell you who it thinks can be linked...you can choose to accept or discard the suggestion. simple
and don't worry you can always unlink contacts later should you wish to.
Get it again
Hello,
I received this question also and I was selecting all my links one by one.
I thought what if I do 'dismiss all', then maybe I can 'select all' after that..
But all my suggestions where gone..
How can I get all the suggestions again?.. I have many contacts..
Thanks in advance from The Netherlands.
Best regards,
Johan Groeneveld
I have asked this on general but nobody reply, so I'm gonna try it here.
I want to add contacts on a group. I was succesful to create the group and once inside I click to add member but when I type there name nothing happens, it doesn't search for it neither add. I tried with the existent group on the phone but still nothing.
Thank you!

Are the contacts you're trying to move stored on your phone or your gmail account? Because it won't work if your trying to move a 'gmail contact' into a 'phone group' (if you get what I am trying to say).
If your contacts are stored on your gmail account, you can always get on gmail and organize them from the web interface, putting them in whatever groups you want.
Ohh I understand, so the contacs has to be saved on the phone so it can appears.
Thanks!

Ok so I realize facebook won't sync with ICS so I get Haxsync that was recommended and its ok. However, I don't like this People app that ICS uses compared to the old simple Contacts. When I need to manually merge contacts I used to longpress and choose join contacts and now I cant . But I've seen posts where people say they manually join them, so there must be another way I'm not seeing. Menu options don't bring up merge or join either.
Thanks in advance for any help.

it is a bit annoying managing contacts in ics...i haven't figured how to automatically join contacts but I have been able to do it manually...for example...let's say your friend's name is "Michael B. Jordan" in facebook and simply "Michael Jordan" in your normal contacts...you have to change the name to "Michael B. Jordan" in contacts facebook and press "space" after the name change..you should see the "facebook name" be suggested right under the contact being edit..click it and it should say "join"..it is pretty annoying way to join contacts (maybe there is a better way, I don't know)...
it took almost an hour to properly sync my 70 contacts and their pictures with haxsync...sorry for the horrrible grammar and I hope it helped..
Annoying it may be... But open "people" Menu> edit> menu> join. Then either pick a suggested person or scroll down to find the right person.

Just made an already tedious process even longer. Damn girls and their stupid fb names. That's the only crappy part of wiping during ROM changes for me. Apps, data, ringtones, wallpapers, etc are all easy but damn having to manually rejoin contacts. Now even worse that's it's not native in ICS.
I'm at the point now where I think I'm just going to manually assign pictures to my contacts. Maybe download them from facebook assign them thru my contacts in google. This way the pix will stick from now on. Anytime I flash a rom, I won't need to go thru this tedious process any longer. I've given up lol.

If you export your joined contacts to your sd card don't they come back joined when you import them?

This works, I knew it was there somewhere, thanks! For anyone else reading this. You have to click on the contact first, then menu, then edit, then the menu button again, then join. Ugh! lol

You know I think this would make sense, but I just tried an import and the only option is to import a single vCard file from bluetooth or email.
This used to work out nicely in the 2.x.x days. You sync your google contacts and then facebook contacts. Join a few that the names don't match (ie John Doe and John D). Now with ICS, it won't even try to join John Doe with John D. Doe or Johnathan Doe, even though they are the same person.
The other thing is that haxsync only does photos. I have friends that I don't have saved in my google contacts because their info is on their facebook. Guess I could go through them and manually save a duplicate contact and number to my google contacts, but that's something I didn't have to do in the past. Taking steps backward is not what integration is about.

Well I got friendcaster then used it to sync and it copied over with crappy low res pictures, so that pissed me off. The haxsync ones looked decent at least. I'll be fine for now until there is stock integration built into to CM9. I know the OTA ICS guys have figured it out.

Haxsync does have an option "Additional friends to sync" under "Sync Preferences" - the help text says "These friends will be synced even if they don't match any contacts on your phone". Does this do what you want?
I think he means their contact info from facebook. The main app syncs not only a contacts photo, but any contact info they have on their profile.

For those who have multiple accounts and want to join them in a few easy steps:
Log into you Gmail account and go under Contacts.
Right above your contacts list, right in the middle, there is a button you click and have some settings come down. One of them is a "join multiple contacts". Hit it and it will automatically join all of them together. A lot easier if u have LOTS of multiple contacts and dnt want to merge them manually

I would love to have it sync the phone numbers . Like the FB app does.

haxsync is not showing my entire friend list from facebook
what is to be done??
In the options their is a setting which by default only syncs people already in your contacts. You can change it sync all your friends from facebook.
Also to some of the people earlier in this thread, the latest version of Haxsync lets you write HTC tags to the notes section of your contacts so at least you won't have to do it all again manually when you change roms
