Anyone know of a way I can use it without syncing my contacts?
I don't want it even touching my contact list as it adds all these contacts which I don't want on my device and when I remove them here it echoes the changes on my real desktop contact list. Luckily I had a contact list backed up on my desktop pc so I restored it.
So...anyone know how I can use Live Messenger Beta without letting it touch my contacts?
I guess you could disable the syncing of contacts altogether on ActiveSync?
It would stop any contacts syncing but it's the only thing that really comes to mind at the moment
It's a part of WLM, and I don't think you can disable it.

When I installed WLM it installed two programmes on start menu:
Windows Live Messenger and
Windows Live
If I select Windows Live it opens a screen which has Menu option. Within this is an Options setting that then leads to an option called "Sync Options" with this there are tick boxes to deselect synching contacts and e-mail.
Perhaps that might solve your problem?

That option is actually 'Sync Contacts and Messenger'.
All I want is the second part of that option...I want to sync messenger so it works but not my contacts.
I personally havent sync`d my contacts yet...but looking a bit deeper into this matter i found some registry keys that might help you.
Just open the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\Windows Live\Contacts\" there are a few options you can change. Maybe if you set the value "CanDoSync" to "0" it might actually stop syncing your contacts.

I just found this in a thread over in the Wizard forums.
Looks like maybe you don't HAVE to sync contacts anymore...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I just thought I'd come an taunt all you none beta testers! j/k
The new mobile client is now out!!! It's available on the Microsoft Connect website, and it's pretty damn good...
Feel free to ask any questions about it, i'll gladly answer.
Some of the new features include:
- Contant sync isn't compulsory any more!!! although the contact sync is more intelligent now, and it's much simpler an faster to sort out the initial sync.
- LARGE speed boost.
- New today/home screen applet (Displays search box, and MSN avatar and contact info (All is optional))
- Windows Live config screen.
- Contact avatars (you can have your own now).
- Personal Message support.
- Original MSN Messenger seems to be left un-touched.

So any ideas when this version will be available.
I saw on that thread there are a few people experiancing the same problem. that the their msn contacts are getting added to thier device address book, which i find very annoying. and when you delete of the device it also deletes the contacts from your messenger list
if i was to get hold off msn messenger the one that worked on pocket pc 2002/2003, would it still work?
Dont suppose anyone would have it??
Where to download Live Messenger
Where can I download Live Messenger for the Hermes I have been looking and simply can not find it.
I saw on the connect website from Microsoft that there is a new version out since 16-12-2006. Has anyone been able to download this version already? If so, can someone give a review ?
Thanks
I've just applied to the beta program
hopefully I'm allowed in.
same i have also just joined. see what happens.
Could you guys upload the installer to the xda-devoloper ftp when you recieve it?
Somehow I'm not allowed to sign up for the beta. Perhaps it's the firewall here at school.
What are the latest news about it ?
Is this "contact sync problem" solved in this version and is this availaibe for download ?,
The versions I've tried you're still forced to sync with no other options
Plus theres been lots of problems even getting push with hotmail...the option just won't stick to "when they arrive" but stays on manual sync
is there an answer for this yet?
i would love to use windows live messenger, but hate getting some 250 contacts added to my contacts (in my phone)
/timmy
Just spent hours re-editing my contacts cos of live! eager to find a way of stopping it syncing but allowing me into messenger!
well is there a program that lets you put contacts into groups so that i could just filter all the live contacts?
a free one? or you know uhh one with a key?
falum: im the same as you, its a bastard to fix..
i wish this could be hacked at the moment, ive also found the WLM is pretty resource hungry, anyone else found this?
t
I am so confused...
What is the difference between the two? Doesn't Windows Live Mobile come with Windows Live Search?
I heard that Windows Live Mobile syncs your MSN contacts over and duplicates it in your contacts list, I DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
What version should i use of each program if I don't want the contact duplication problem? I am using the AX3L cooked rom on my Trinity, can some please help to shine some light into this? There seems to be so many different builds and versions for this that i have read. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Microsoft has really confusing branding.
Windows live search is microsoft's search engine at live.com
Windows live search mobile is a program for mobiles that is basically a mapping/local search program
Windows live messenger is an program for mobiles that is basically an IM/Email program that works with your MSN account. I think this program is also labeled as "MSN" on some devices/installations.
Does that clear things up?
Does anyone know of a reg hack that will notify you when a contact sign on to live messenger...that usually happen with the old msn messenger on my tytn with the stack rom that came with it.
Also, not to thread hijack too much, but anyone know how to keep Windows Live from starting immediately on startup so that I don't always get a message that Windows Live cannot connect due to no connection?

That would be a great feature!!!! Sorry I don't know of a reg hack though
maybe someone with a tytn with wm5 can look at their registry settings and post the setting here
Hi! I need a bit of help here. I'm trying to help my freind with his XV6800. I have the Sprint 6800. He uses only hotmail, and I tried to install Windows Live on his device only to fail. Does anyone here who has a XV6800 have Windows Live working? I can't even set up hotmail in Pocket outlook. Really bizarre. I'm at a loss because I actually recommended the phone to him saying that it could use Windows Live just like mine does. Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried searching but didn't get any answers.
Thanks in advance.
Any news on this. I need help setting up Live on my XV as well. It should have come on the device. Why doesn't MS offer it for free as a download?
Hey! yeah i found a fix! I installed the fived duttythroy cab. You can try the files found here:
