Maybe this might be of interest for you. It worked for me on Pie (because of Motorolas inability to send updates on each channel at fitting times and Android One doesn't mean anything) I couldn't try it on 10 though.

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.

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!!
I clicked on all options and menus but couldn't find anything giving you the choice to arrange contacts by first name rather than last.
I just can't believe there is no such option, is there anyway to make this work or should I just learn everyone's last name from now on.
Another surprise was that the alarm doesn't work when the phone is switched off
Are these Windows Mobile issues or HTC, I never had a mobile phone before not being able to do the above.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
Scroll to the bottom of the person's contact card and select "More". It'll open up the WinMo Contact information screen (rather than HTC's). From here there is an option to "File as", select the one that has the first name out front. Lather, rinse...
Windows Mobile defaults to "Last,First" , and this is the only fix I can think of. As for changing the default, I've never found an option for it (although there may be a registry entry SOMEWHERE.
Terribly sorry if you have to do this for all of your contacts - I hope your list isn't toooo big.

You can always change/resave your entries under Microsoft Outlook then resync your device.
i had a cab file which enabled this option. When i get home i will upload if for you to try.

Finally!!! Thank you that worked great!!!
I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!

Can someone compile a list or list in this thread ROMs that have VZ BackUp Assitant. Only a handful of my contacts are backed up on Google and some ROMs don't work with Back UP Assitant which is a problem for me. Thanks in advance.
The best way to back up your contacts is to export them to the SD via the option in the menu and then reimport them as Google contacts. That way you can shed your reliance of Verizon.
Most, if not all, should work with the app. Most don't include it, though, so it's simply a matter of getting the apk and installing it.

thank you. I didn't realize this could be done so easily.
another way is to log onto the verizon site (don't remember the link) and export your contacts to a .csv, then import them into google contacts. Easy to clean up and you only have one sync icon in the notification bar. Hope it helps!
Is there any way to keep contacts merged after flashing a new rom?
I've tried making back ups threw titanium and still won't stay merge it restore them all separated
Problem is that since they have different names on Facebook for example. The built in "join " won't pick them up
Sorry if the solution is very easy I'm fairly new with rooting and well I was a little pampered with HTCs link up system
ever tried to simply backup contacts to sd card via standard function in contacts-app (.vcf file)?
edit: google-sync doesn't work either?
No no I haven't I didn't know the nexus had that options still ...since its SD card less but
Will that keep them merged?? Never really used it on past android phones because they were always HTC phones lol

That won't help.
And to my knowledge, you really can't.
Contacts with the same first and last name should merge.
Maybe work on getting all of those the same.
And add a "nickname" line for whatever you wanted to search for them by.
to be honest, i don't know if it will keep them merged, but worth a try.
simply go into contacts-app and press menu, there you'll find something like "import/export", if you then choose export to sd card (or sthg like that), it will create a file on your (internal) sd card. save this to your pc or cloud and replace and import it when necessary...
to come back to google sync, are you using that? i guess this should work, but never had that problem...
I just exported it to SD card (virtual ) and well im wondering if I import it to Google contacts if it will do it since the names and emails will be on there now
I'm gonna try after I get of work thanks for the suggestions guys
Well, i bit the bullet and purchased a Galaxy Nexus to upgrade from my Touch Pro 2.
Problem is im having a hell of a time importing my contacts from the old phone to the new. I got them on the Sim ok, and they Show up on android, problem is it split all of the numbers so i have 2, 3 or 4 of the same contact. It splits Home, Mobile, and Work numbers into individual contacts instead of merging them like they should be. You would think it would be smart enough to see the same name and think "oh, these are all the same person."
is there any way to merge them without having to manually edit each individual contact?
If I recall correctly, try going into gmail on your PC and look for your contacts. There's an option to merge the ones that repeat.
Or use the customize option on the phone: people > menu > contacts to display
