Hi everyone,
I have recently installed the Windows Live Mobile, it was working perfectly but now it seems that there is a problem with the 'synchronise'.
When I click the synchronise option, the email can be synchronised, but not the Contacts & Email. It always fails. also, when you open the Messenger, it always no contacts online, but actually there are.
Anyone has any ideas of this?
Thx in advance...
The online contacts appear after ~ 10-20 sec. As for the sync, I do not know.
I have the same email sync problem. I figured it's because my perticipation is still pending for the offical beta enrolment. I downloaded the file from another source so I thought it maybe there server seeing that I'm not part of the beta program yet. Are you part of the beta program or did you do like me and get it from the forums?
My only compaint about this version is they still didn't fix the issue that when you sign in to messenger the first time it adds all your MSN Messenger contacts to your address book, which they are already there so now there are duplicates. I have there full contact card with all there details and now a second one that just has there email and messenger name. It should be smart enough to see that that email addresss and IM name already exist in my address book and link to it instead of creating another one.
Yeah I got the messenger from the froum also.
I have tried to login the Windows live mobile using another ID, it works fine, but just not mine.
I dont know...
I don't like how WLM mobile takes all your messenger contacts and automatically puts them into your 'contacts' on the phone, which ends up in my contacts folder in Outlook. That's horrible, I don't want the two mixed up and now I have no choice, mix them up, or don't use it?
Go delete them from my contacts folder in outlook, that deletes them from my messenger contacts as well!!
Pocket MSN never forced your messenger contacts to be placed or synced into your 'contacts'.
I got that problem too

My messenger contacts suddenly appeared as offline. Strange. No reboot or relogon could fix it. They could IM me but I could not contact them. I suspect that this has to do with the beta, maybe they simply block old betas to force the legitimate beta testers to use the latest version.
Hi guys,
Can someone point me in the direction of this download? I registered with MS Connect but havent had anything back from them yet.
WLM works well on my N91 but i dont have it on my TYTN
Thanks
Same offline contacts problem here...

Doubt you'll hear anything from them, I registered a few months ago and for some reason their registration system was TOTALLY cocked up, so I ended up with a mangled registration and they point blank refused to offer me any useful help.
So now I can log into MS Connect, but I can't see the right live beta tests to join them properly... It sucks. Guess I'll just have to wait on this one.
is the latest WLM on the FTP i couldn't find it? can somebody mirror it somewhere?
hi,
When i tried to sign in the messenger, it warned me that my MSN contact list will be added to my phone list which is the last thing I want to happen in this world.
Is there any way i can use live msn without messing up my phone contacts?
Pls advise.
Mark
Yeah, I didn't want that to happen either so I just installed the older version of MSN and was able to stay clear of those issues.

Be carefull with that! I just did the same on my Trinity running the official Dopod WM6 ROM (SEA), and guess what...: after reboot i entered my device-PIN (NOT the SIM-PIN!) and it said 'wrong password'
Had to hard-reset...
I dunno what exactly caused it, but i DO know that before PocketMSN, and after rebuilding my device without it, i have no issues at all...
I decided to leave MSN untouched in any way (i didn't really use it that much anyway)...

Thanks for the heads up.
I was running the 'Official' Dopod ROM but I removed it and flashed back to AX3L's ROM because all of the bugs I encountered with Dopod's ROM.
Using AX3L's ROM, I have not have any issues with MSN like this, but I will look out.

That's a GREAT question!
I was just thing about that on this moment...
So, are there any tricks to avoid that the msn live contacts mess up with the phone contacts, besides installing the old version...?

If you open Windows Live and go into the options, you can configure the sync settings.
Options are...
Select what you want to sync on your device:
Contacts and Messenger
Merge Duplicates with Outlook
e-mail
This will prevent your messenger contacts merging with your outlook ones.

3 options?...
I remember of seeing there only 2...and even with both deactivated, it messed up the contacts list....
I cannot seem to log in to windows live or messenger. Help!
I don't know if anyone has found a long term viable solution to this problem yet, but I have a workaround that some of you might be interested in adopting.
Step 0 (Prerequisite): Please make sure that all your contacts on your phone have the their Messenger email addresses in the "IM Address" field on the phone (or in outlook).
Step 1: Sign in to Live ID and merge all contacts with Outlook.
Step 2: Go to "contacts on the phone and file all contacts as "First_Name Last_Name", to allow at a glance comparision.
Step 3: Open Messenger on your computer desktop and disable "Receive contact updates" for ALL contacts.
Step 4: Manually Edit the contact information for all duplicate contacts on phone and remove EVERYTHING except the nickname from the contact in Messenger on the computer
Step 5: Switch Windows Live ID on the Phone and sign in again. Merge contacts and they should be fixed. If not, repeat process for recurring contacts by clearing all information from Messenger on your computer desktop.
CAVEAT: Do NOT delete messenger contacts from your phone or your computer in an attempt to fix this problem.
NB: This procedure does not seem to work for Non MSN (Read Yahoo) contacts on Messenger.
to solve the problem on ppc you need to upgrade your live messenger by using thi one wich i fixed
right to the problem -the live messenger on wm 6.1 problem is dead ,killed by tommymarsh

Guys, anyone has the file to share? Mainly what happened was that I choose the option to sync all msn contacts into the diamond when i signed in FIRST on msn messenger via the phone. And realised after a while it was actually a hassle to have all these email addresses in my contact list on the phone. So what I did was that I deleted the list from the phone and did not realise its actually in sync with my computer as well. So when I connected the hp to my computer last night to transfer some files over, the "ZERO MSN contact list" got updated on my computer and so I lost all contacts on my computer. It was like a freak accident.
But luckily I managed to get the contacts by sourcing around. But now my worry is that if I were to connect my phone to the PC again, it would update ths system and thus delete all MSN contacts on the computer again. Any idea how I can change this setting on the phone? or by re-installing msn mesenger on the phone again? If so, does anyone have the MSN folder to share, because its a default file from the phone itself.
Thanks for all the help...
Cheers
Hi,
You can uninstall the LiveMessenger application but it would be easier to switch identity (so that there is no profile for hotmail user) and log in to application again. When you do so untick the selection of 'merge contacts'.
I went through the same grief!
You can download the app from Dutty http://www.duttythroy.net/download-area.html?task=view.download&cid=24

Hey just got the phone today. Ive got my phone synced to the pc fine. Although i cant see how in outlook etc to manage my contacts. I knowi t copyed them over but i dont know how to choose what goes over.

Ive been looking for the folder its self on the phone also with no luck, but i shall keep probing away.

this fine little tool might help you out
http://www.sugata.eu/products/pocketoutlook-eraser/
There's no way to select contacts for sync AFAIK, but you can create multiple contact lists in outlook, and only the primary one will be synced.

Is there some problem with the sync??
Thanks!
Go to your contacts, hit Menu,
Go in the Display group
and Edit sync groups
And check what you have.
Maybe your not allowing them to be on the phone.
If that doesn't work.
I have no clue.
Personally i would try a hard reset.
double post
