There's a way to remove the windows live messenger contacts from my contacts list?
I don't want thats messenger contacts on my FONE contacts LOL!
I already have a lot of contacts ad that contacts are a crap!
Please, someone can help? thanks
I think there's a bug and if you remove them from your list they'll be removed from your msn acount...
That's not a bug, it's how it is supposed to work so that your contacts are integrated.
I don't think it's something you can turn off, but then, I haven't tried.
You can always add a category to your non-messenger contacts, and view by that filter if you don't want them showing.
I have more than 200 non-messenger contacts.

You can bulk highlight them in Outlook and add a category to them.
To *you* it's crap
I have about 150 contacts, 50 messenger contacts, and of those, about 30 I had as real contacts anyway. I like the way they are both integrated into one thing, and that the information is with me wherever I sign in.
I want the msn contacts hidden from my phone contacts list without selectiong categories all times... Or just dont add these contacts to my phone...
just a setting
It is a setting in Windows Live. When you set up the Windows Live connection you can choose if you want to sync mail and/or contacts. I only chose mail and my contacts did not appear in my address book.
You can change it in Windows Live: Menu/Options/2 Sync Options - Deselect contacts and messenger.

On mine, it still puts the contacts in, it simply does not synchronise my address book online.
That option is about the online sync with Windows Live services, not about placing them in your address book.

Basically, tough. In this instance, 'I want' doesn't get! Microsoft have designed it this way, and until a new version of Windows Live is released that doesnt do this (unlikely), that's the way it will be
Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks
What you need to do is when it asks you if u want to integrate the contacts you say Cancel, you then go to the right hand menu at the bottom of the screen and select windows live. It will open a search box with a login button underneath.
Log in to windows live and it will give you 5 screens, 1 of which disables the syncing of the contacts into your address book..

That option is to do with synchronisation with the windows live address book. This is not the same as your contacts/address book on your device.
I don't have a Windows phone, yet, but I am trying to prepere my contact lists for my new phone.
This is how I started:
I have an private exchange account with about 200 contacts.
I have made my exchange account a Windows Live, because i use mye exchange account with MSN Messenger (about 80 of 200 contacts)
In Windows Live, I have connected Facebook and Linkedin to sync contacts from this services.
How will this exampel contact look on Windows Phone ?
Exchange: Don Johnsen, [email protected], company phone: 1122334455
Windows Live: Don Johnsen, [email protected]
Facebook: Don Johnsen, [email protected], privat phone: 5544332211, Works for Company1, Private adresse: Privatelane 123
Linkedin: Don Johnsen, [email protected], Works for Company1, Company1 adresse, Company fax nr: 55555555
How will the calender look on Windows Phone ?
Will I get facebook events in the calender ?
You don't get Facebook events in the calendar by default. I don't know if there's a way to get them to show there.
Your LinkedIn contact info will show as Live. You can link multiple sources to one contact card, it works fairly well.
Thanks.
Someone with an example of a contactcard with multiple contact info ?
What profile pictures will it use, or can I change from facebook, Linkedin or MSN ?
Will I be able to choose mailadress to send to ?
By default it uses the picture from Facebook, but you can change that and use a photo from a different contact source or from your phone.
Yes, you can choose email addresses.
It's difficult to show a contact card because there's no way to make a screenshot. There are pictures on the internet, a quick Google search will help you.
basically what happens is that you can "link" contact cards together, so that way you can see all the different information from the different places in 1 card. the disadvantage is that you will get double ups (so if you had the same email address for the person across 3 places, you'd see it 3 times in their contact card with it saying where each came from).
as for editting details, i'm not sure but from what i'm aware, you edit for 1 type. so for example, you had 1 contact with 3 different locations for data (your exchange, windows live, facebook), you cannot edit facebook of course, so what would happen is you would be given the option to edit which one you want (your exchange or windows live). so if you wanted the data to sync, you would have to edit twice, one for your windows live and one for your exchange. somewhat sucks, but that's the way it works. there might be third party applications (desktop) that can sync exchange with windows live regularly so you don't have to worry, but i'm not familiar enough with it.
I am having an issue with syncing new contacts. I connected LinkedIn to my Windows Live account. It updated some of my contacts that I already had and added others that were only in LinkedIn and not in the Live account.
They are showing up correctly in my Live account but the new contacts and updated info that LinkedIn merged are not syncing/showing on my phone.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I have several question regarding contacts, cause it seems little bit chaotic.
1. I set up my Live account, connected it with my gmail, facebook, linked in etc. and then syncd with phone - zero contacts in my phone. SO I realized, that you can sync live with gmail, but it will not import phone contacts... and if you set gmail account on your phone (not in live) it will download the contacts from the account, but will not sync them with live. It sucks. You can import contacts in live from gmail directly in browser (there is an import gmail option). Buit anyway, it sucks, because I thought, that my live account will be able to sync different contacts so they will be updated all the time - I will change something in gmail and it will be updated in WP7, I will change WP7 and it will sync with gmail. NO WAY THIS IS HAPPENING. SAD.
2. LinkedIn - my LinkedIn contacts are showing OK in Live.com, with pictures etc. But, they are not showing with pictures on the phone and they are not even showing all information from linkedin. Is there a way how to change it (I want pictures from these contacts to some of my phone conracts after i link them?
3. Facebook - I thought, that when I connect facebook in live.com, that it will be connected automatically in the phone as well. It isnt. It does show updates in people hub, but it will not show contacts in contact list, if you want them to show, again, you will have to add facebook account to your phone. BUt these will not be synced with your live, so when you link facebook contact with linked in conbtact and gmail contact and then you hard reset the phone and sync it with live, you will not have ONE contact, you will have three different unlinked contacts, becuase link is done just in phone. WHICH SUCKS.
4. Oh, and I just realized, that when I imported my contacts from gmail to live and then synced them to WP7, the contacts on my phone do not show phone numbers! My live contacts show the phone numbers, but they are not synced to the phone! WTF? Aarrrgh... So I will have to sync my gmail contacts with numbers with my phone as a separate account to be able to call those contacts...
Any advices how to avoiud these problems, or am i wrong?

My problem is the same as your number 2 problem. If anyone knows how to sync all the data it would be greatly appreciated.
I tried to google it and realized, that I am not the only one in the world with the same problem. There are lot of people with that problem and it seems, that it may appear during time, first everything is synced right from live, and then it stops working, phone numbers and pictures dissapear etc. Also, there is no answer to that problem from MS.
So, I tried following:
1. Deleted all my contacts from live
2. Diconected all the social networks in live.
3. Synced my phone with live, so there were no contacts on my phone as well
4. Deleted all account on my phone (facebook)
5. Restarted the phone
5. Imported contacts from gmail to live again
6. Connected live with facebook and linkedin again
7. Synced my phone with live
At first, it seemed to work, my gmail contacts appeared with numbers again.
There were no pictures at gmail contatcs that should have them (even that during my first sync, they were imported)
And the worst thing is, that when I started syncing my liveID to my phone it went to same weird loop. I have 350 contacts in live, but the syncing doesnt seem to stop, right now it says it is syncing contact 10000 (!) and continues to sync (also reported by many other users on MS answers forum).
So, the whole thing seems to be totally screwed.
Any advices?
I wonder if a hard reset then resyncing with my Live account would work. I'm not sure if since I added the LinkedIn relationship after the initial transfer that is the problem.
So, I hardreseted and the problem remains. It is probably caused by some incompatible data from gmail (i gues it could be HTC Sense notes about my facebook links on android). Most bizzare thing is, that it doesnt happen when you sync the same contacts directly with gmail. Hotmail is definitelly ****ed up and nobody at support is trying to solve this. There is couple of really desperate guys at MS forums.

All I did was to setup my Contacts in Windows Live uploading them from Outlook in the first place. Then I cleaned them up and finally I added my Facebook account.
The phone automatically matched more then half of my contacts and linked their accounts. I needed to manually link some of them because of accents in their names, but that was not a problem.
i think i may hit some these problem when i install windows phone 7 (currently running android). im looking at sorting out my calenders and contacts and need some advice. here is my setup:
i have 7 email accounts i want to sync with my phone:
2x windows live (1 main one and 1 work one)
2x google mail (1 main one and 2 work ones)
1x yahoo 1
1x ISP (virgin media)
1x work
currently i use outlook 2010 to send/recieve mail from all of them, and manage my contacts that i use. the contacts are managed as follows:
main gmail: phonebook contacts (i.e. everyone i have a phone number for)
work gmail: no contacts
yahoo: online addressbook with outdated contacts (not managed through outlook)
ISP: no contacts
work: no contacts
work windows live: work contacts (email only)
main windows live: a mix of everything, some outdated contacts
on top of this, my facebook and linked in accounts are linked to my main windows live account.
for calenders, i currently run 2, 1 from outlook, and 1 from windows live. the outlook calender is automatically synced with the main gmail calender through the google calender sync app on the pc.
my questions are:
1. what is the best account to have the 'phonebook' contacts in
2. does windows phone 7 merge all addressbooks into 1 big address book
3. if i wanted to kep my contacts/calenders synced between all my email accounts and my wp7 device, how could i go about this?
4. if i had the same address book in each mail account, would i end up with multiple contacts/multiple details in my address book on my phone?
the reason i have so many email addresses is a do freelance work on the side of my studying, and i have a seperate email account for each client i do work for. i also use things like yahoo groups and the google services.
i suppose an additional question would be:
5. can i merge all the email account into 1 account, and seperate the emails into groups (this would need to be done on the pc and on the phone). this would probably cut down my email accounts 4!

1) You can use your personal Windows Live account as the default. It works great for having your main contacts (phonebook) and calendar synced.
2) No, you get one separate Tile for each account so you can pin it to the start screen and see the number of unread emails per account.
3) I would try to cut them down to two at the most. One for Windows Live and one for Gmail. Having too many would be a PITA and bothersome to keep tabs on.
4) The phone will automatically match contacts and their details from different account. If you find that some are not linked, you can always do it manually. This feature works great, either automatically or manual adding.
5) You can configure you main Windows Live account to retrieve mails from other account and have them separated by folders. You can even send mail using those accounts.
You can also have your two WL account merged and have one Gmail account retrieve mail from the other and keep. This way, you will end up with just two separate account, one for WL and one for Gmail.
Hope this helps.

i think it does. i suppose one of my other concerns is that i dont want all of my windows live contacts in my phonebook, as they are email only. is there a way of only listing contacts with phone numbers? i think what i am going to do it set up mail forwarding, and then have the mail sorted into folders in my windows live account. i have aquired a lot of contacts over the years and im sure i dont need/use about 75% of them any more!
I'm not sure how this could've happened, but here's the deal:
Under the majority of my contacts, there are SEVERAL profiles merged together. These profiles all have the EXACT same information. This makes texting almost like a scavenger hunt.
For example: I want to text "andrew", so I type in "andrew" in the To: field, and a popup comes up with:
Andrew 555-555-5555
Andrew 555-555-5555
Andrew 555-555-5555
Andrew 555-555-5555
Andrew 555-555-5555
etc etc
Andrew A 777-777-7777
Andrew A 777-777-7777
Andrew A 777-777-7777
etc.
Andrew B 888-888-8888
Andrew B 888-888-8888
Andrew B 888-888-8888
etc.
I've tried deleting all contacts but as soon as it syncs with google, the problem re-arises. I've looked through my google contacts (through gmail) but there's no repeats! So really, i have no idea what the issue is, but would love to resolve it asap.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I should note that I "deleted" all contacts by going to settings -> applications -> manage -> all -> and clearing data from contacts and contacts storage
Do you also synch with your PC? Have you had to replace your phone recently? I had this happen when I did my first sync to the PC after getting a new phone. I had to remove all the duplicates on the PC to stop it from duplicating on the phone.
My other thought is it may be your friends from Facebook. Do you have Facebook set up on your phone? If they have phone numbers in their Facebook profile the phone will add them.
Finally, if neither of these apply I would do into each duplicate contact and find out where the phone says it is coming from. For example, if the contact info was synced from your Gmail account it will say Gmail under the name. If it was manually entered into the phone and/or synched from your PC it will say Phone under the name. If it was pushed to the phone from an Exchange mail account it will say Exchange under it. Maybe tracking down where the duplicates are coming from will help you get it resolved.
I had the same issue so I went to menu>accounts & sync and made sure I only had one profile syncing contacts. After that I went through and deleted all contacts. Then go to gmail(if you created a gmail account for your phone) and pull up the contacts section. Go through and delete/merge your contacts. Then go back to menu>accounts and sync, and sync your gmail contacts after the modification.

I have never synced with my PC, but this IS on a new ROM. I didn't ahve this issue on the old ROM. Also, these are all gmail contacts. I checked my gmail contact list, and there's no duplicates.

I have two profiles that sync on my phone: facebook and google. Manually deleting the contacts would take forever, and I'm not sure if that would fix the problem, considering that deleting contact data previously didn't.
Also, as stated previously, I checked my contacts list through gmail and there were no duplicates.
I think this problem stems from myself accidentally hitting "import all" when choosing which vcf file to import. I've made several over the course of the last half year, so that may be the reason.
Another interesting thing I've noticed: If I manually delete a bunch of duplicated on my phone, the numbers STILL show up when I'm entering a name into the "To:" section. So I'm down to just one "Andrew 555-555-5555" in my contacts app, but when I type in Andrew to send him a text I still get:
Andrew 555-555-5555
Andrew 555-555-5555
Andrew 555-555-5555
Andrew 555-555-5555
etc.
It may seem that way...
You may want to drop the facebook contacts, it doesnt add anything except a picture maybe a phone number if the person entered it and email address.
I know deleting your contacts sounds like a pain on the phone but just do all of them. when you log onto Gmail it has some simple tools that make a large task take about 5 minutes. I had 500 contacts on my gmail contacts and it took me less than 5 minutes to compress it to 150.
Hi
Can someone tell me why the bluetooth in my car won't synch with the contacts on my htc one x unless I create the contact on the phone memory rather than use them from the Google account?
Go to people> top left choose the phonebook as Phone - contacts then show up in the cars bluetooth contact list
If i choose phonebook as google - contacts dont show up
Anyone know why? I assume the contacts from the google phonebook aren't saved to the phones memory? I thought they were when you sync your phone with gmail
Thanks
Manny
have i posted this in wrong place?
Someone must have a thought on this?
The only way is to transfer all of my contacts to the phone memory from google?
If i create a new contact on the phone memory it gets overwritten by the google sync
Well i only synced my contacts with google and if i go to contacts i see the list of names that are also in my google account, i tried it in my car today and those names & numbers showed up via bluetooth. Even the missed and chosen calls. Don't know what your problem could be ! .... sorry
