Hi to all!
I want to know if there is a way to use the Pocket MSN on WM6. It's really annoying for me [and for other members I'm sure] to sync my phone contacts and WLiveMessenger!!!
Thanks,

Pocket MSN on WM6
Thanks a lot men, I didn't read that part!

Just for the record, when you are installing Windows Live, you can tell it not to sync your contacts.
I found sync easy. delete all from msn. add to your existing contacts 2nd email and I M address. then in ur pda contacts list use the right menu and say add to contacts. then the whole lot syncs and links from pc outlook to pda contacts to msn/hotmail account and state add to messenger. soooo easy.

How?!
I've installed Windows Live but when I choose not to Sync the contact I can not login. Please help.
Is there a contact manager for the PC?
I went and synced my phone and its downloaded all MSN contacts and email address etc and its a mess.
Ive got email address not linked to phone numbers n stuff and its a nightmare to sort on the phone.
Any software which lets me do it on the PC?
How about Outlook?

You must be kidding. I HATE that program lol
However, if I install it, sync my phone. Can I edit all the contacts in outlook, resync at they will all be sorted on my phone?
Installed it, but WM Sync program doesnt think its installed...

Do you have installed "outlook" or "outlook express" ?
In activesync do you see other options? like "files sync" or "media sync"?

I also hate outlook, coming thru win 98 to xp with outlook express which Im very used to.
I had to install outlook a few times to get it to work with my x1, my outlook is configured not to be the default mail program on the pc so I still use out-express on the pc and only start outlook for syncing the x1.
It (mine) keeps a different address book from express so you can configure what you want in outlook and sync to phone as required.
It took me a couple of hours to sort my contacts from uiq.
If i login on msn messenger on my phone it is deciding to delete some of my contacts... (so they come off my msn on the pc too)
I have no idea why it is doing this as i copied my msn contacts to the relevant contacts in my phone book and selected the option in messenger to combine contacts with messenger...
Its really starting to hack me off as I'm having to re-add contacts all the time
Nice to hear
Actually... same here... wtf

its really weird that its deciding to do it though, i can't understand why it does it
So my question is how do you immediately transfer all your Outlook contacts to Windows Phone 7 on the HD2.
I currently have over 300 contacts so its not possible for me to copy all of them in the sim card.
Is it the same as connecting it to outlook and syncing. Someone please be kind enough to explain.
Thanks
use gmail as exchange mail. It is easy, simple to set up and It works really well for me

its good and **** as it can backup and restore your imp info but now I have 1000more duplicate contact and not able to remove it
Easiest way:
1. Export contacts from Outlook in cvs format.
2. Import contacts in Gmail.
3. Sync your WP7 Phone with Gmail and you are done

ohhh k !! cool !!
It's a complete joke that you need a Google app in order to sync 2 Microsoft products.
On the bright side of life: If you then go to Android then all your contacts will be already waiting for you
It's funny that WP7 syncs everything with Google...even the calender so Gmail is also a way to export all your appointments from Outlook to WP7

True, but windows live is what they expect you to have all your contacts info under, which I find wierd considering it's only really been used for this now, so be wary when adding your live account, as all your email contacts will be visible and you can't do anything about it, delete them from the phone, they'll delete from your email account so be CAREFUL!!!
To get around this as mentioned in a previous thread somewhere in the HD7 forum, I created a new live account, made that the default when signing into windows live and entering my key, then added an email account which was my main hotmail, this only syncs emails, nothing else, hope this helps prevent problems!!!!
Been trying to get my contacts from my android phone to new 7.5 wp for 2 days now and it seems there is nothing such as a "phone book" in WP7.5 only social networking sites or email accounts to "SYNC" with..??
No such thing as a simple transfer... What happened to user friendly?
What if you do not want your phone book spread all over the internet??... ie: just have them on your phone to use as intended?
Some of us are not teenagers whose life revolves around Facebook, Twitter and buying music online. Microsoft appears to be totally ignorant of this?
A great phone OS overtaken with marketing traps and complicated ideology.
I myself did not use gmail (google).
Before I flashed I did a sync with Outlook 2007 ( made sure all phone contacts were in address book)
Then I exported address book out of Outlook ( saved as .csv file).
I went over to Hotmail and imported the .csv file, cleaned up any double entry in the Hotmail address book.
Flashed my phone to WP7 and all my contacts were back in my phone after first sync with Hotmail.
Now I assume live.com is the same as hotmail.com, and the options will be available to import a file from your pc into your address book.
Yes it's a small pain ( 10 min in all on my part), but going forward I will now always have my contacts backed up in Hotmail
gmail works fine for all mentioned above and then some.
Way before i flashed WP 7.5 i already had a gmail account. Now the next bit maybe particular to me but here goes.
I do business with 2 main companies and as such i have an email account with them and i have a local email account with my service provider. Always nice to keep business separate from private email i think.
I also travel around Asia quite a lot and using outlook i sometimes have trouble sending and or receiving emails to all 3 pop accounts. So i ended up using webmail which sucks cos i have 3 separate web mail pages to check. Theh i discovered gmail can fetch mail from any other account and collate it to one page. so if i am having trouble ( usually in China or the Philippines) i can go to an internet cafe and read and send mail.
Stick with me ill get to the good bit.
So i have all my mail being checked and stored on gmail ( i can still get it in the normal way as well , just leave on server for a day so google gets chance to grab it as well (usually every hour))
Now when i went to set up my HD2 WP7.5 Google mail .... it already recognized the all the 3 different accounts as folders ( like imap exchange server) . Best is you can pin each folder to start screen so you can see which folder has new mail. Works fantastically well ..costs nothing just a bit of set up time!
ANd i can access everything from any computer in the world that has an internet connection and a web browser
Of course some people are paranoid ( only my opinion) about having mail and contacts and calenders "stored" in the cloud. I think this is somewhat over anxious . Do we really think our contacts and data is safe at home.??!
In all my years of mobile devices ( and there have been many trust me) i have only just started to use email seriously while "on the road", the email client in WP7.5 on my HD2 is great.
On my PC at home i have 2 little programs to keep Outlook contacts and calender in sync ...all works fine.
Good luck
OK, but how the hell thay came to an idea, that one would transfer contacts only one way, to WP7?
I got a Nokia Phone of my friend who wants to move to android, and I was going to take his Nokia 610 for some tests. However, he asked me to transfer all his contacts to his Galaxy S2. He does not have google on his phone, neither Windows Live.
I decided to set up a google account for him. But what I've found is , there is no way to move a contact registered in his phone as a "Phone" contact (he didn't have any google on his phone up to now), to google.
Or am I wrong.
In Nokia 610 you can only regeister a new contatc as a one to by syncted with google. You can not do it with old contacts registered before a google account was set on the phone.
You guys mean, such system is a friendly one? A future????
I used to run my old HD2 on Windows Mobile 6.5 and so on, and that was a good OS. And now what is this?
Now I've already done my tests on WP7 and never more. And my friend will have to forget about his contacts. I will not advice him to sign for WL and install Outlook with all this stuff to end up converting .csv files.
With Android Galaxy, you can use google, or Kies to sync directly without any "cloudy" stuff and propagate your contacts all over the world. Why M$ thinks they can push us to forget about simple solutions and push us to show up with all our private life?
Contacts back from 6.5 - wp7
This might be a little of topic but i'll give it a shot here anyways.
I have just installed wp7 on my mothers HD2 and before I was sure to backup with "Windows mobile device center" to not lose anything. But when i'm done and everything and want to get the contacts to her phone, it will not connect to the device center. What can i do to fix this? I know i should have synced them with outlook or something but i thought the device center would be enough.
Please help me with getting the contacs back to the phone
all contacts sync with Live account (or Google)... add again Live account and contact is back (if Live account used before)... dont use WMDC for sync... this not tool for WP7 (is necessary for some things but not recommended for this)
if you want make backups use WP Backup v1.0 tool... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34547938
if you have outlook contacts, export to cvs file, import to Live or Google account and sync with phone (look tutorial in my signature)

Okay. She doesn't know if she used live account with wp 6.5, but I have a vague memory of setting it up on her phone.
But if she doesn't, is there a way to retrieve the contacts from wmdc without having "the old phone" plugged in?
Thanks for the fast reply btw!
aha problem is transfer from WM6.5.... i dont tried this.... when year ago swithed to WP simply have contacts on SIM card...

Yeah, from 6.5. We had some contacts on the sim, from a previous backup a while ago, but there is several more added after that.
Is it posible that wmdc has the contacts saved somewhere in a special file? I'm looking for one but cant even find program directory on my pc...

Google has recently announced that they will not be supporting exchange server for windows.
This is all against windows phone devices, they will go on supporting ios devices.
Now my whole contacts (not much 300+) are all in my gmail contact service. And most of them have their pictures.
Yesterday, i logged in in my outlook.com, and added a contact there..
(it was my first log in in there i've always used my hotmail and now cant go back to hotmail.. any way they are all the same!)
I found out that "i cannot insert a picture to my contact" in outlook.com.
I'll be using a phone, when someone calls me i can't "see" who's calling.
I dont know you, but for me its unacceptable!
I'm looking for a new way to sync my contacts with my HD2 and my ipad! (yeah i used to syn my google contacts also in there)
So can some one please tell me if there's something i can do?
Any useful offer, i would be much appreciated..

Have you tried setting gmail up as an activesync account?
Server: m.google.com
User: your email address
Password: your gmail password
Domain: leave blank
Then you should be able to sync them in

I believe that's the only way people r using their contacts in LEOs (or hotmail sync) ...Ive been using it that way since it's first day on my hd2 but i would like to copy contacts to phone cause when u disable gmail sync it also deletes all ur contact then u need to resync everything again ...
Well, import the contacts on PC to your Live ID. There is an online tool for that in Live altough syncing with google is better, because it syncs even contact pictures and has less corrupted information. You probably cant have contacts without the cloud link.
Ummm have you tried just setting up a gmail account on the phone??
Sync'd my contacts just fine, I do not use any contacts from my live account only from gmail ...
no phone numbers present when sync from google
does anybody has solution

U should reedit ur contacts on ur outlook (i believe u had them in ur office outlook) and change the phone number from "general number" to "mobile number" and then resync them again with ur gmail account ....
hope it helps ...
