hi
on my xperia wm phone i used groups added to my contects to be able to selecting
contacs... after exporting them to my google account i can still
see the groups if im online on gmail on my desktop pc.
but in my n1 there isnt a way to see the group of a concte rather to filter contects that way....
im missing it,any one a idea of how to solve that?
Very frustrating, especially when you have 100s of contacts...
No idea how to solve this
I too was frustrated with this especially since coming from the Hero groups were easily used. Have you guys tried Contacts GroupU it does the job for me.

Try using aContacts, supports groups, plus many more. I have been using it for months.
hi,
i found a way on the nexus one own adressbook...
you have to go to the contects then press menü -> setting -> the gmail account and there you can set which typ will be shown...
The problem is that when you enter a new contact, or edit an old one, you don't have the option to put it in a group...

But that just controls what contacts are shown in the Contacts app. All the contacts are still synced to the phone and will show up in search such as when typing a name into gmail or messaging. They need to add this functionality back in. Or we need to figure out how to ourselves.
Yep, the whole lack of any viable fully fleshed out sync with outlook is pretty painful for me and this is one of the reasons.

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?
Mike
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?

Like the title says. Anyway to import all of your facebook contacts to the phones address book?
In the bottom of every contact (editing mode), you have a selection for this. You have to do this on every contact ..
Cheers for replying!. I figured that was the only way to do it (the hard and long way!). Took me about 10mins to finish it, though much happier now its done.
The facebook integration is pretty cool
Yes it is. I wish there was a easier way to add the FB info. But when your done, its pretty cool
On the people tab you go
All People > Updates and Events (face & clock tab)
you should have an item at the top "link profiles" where it will match up your local contacts against your facebook contacts.
Tick all that apply (well default is ticked, so detick those who you don't want to join) and click OK.
All of your facebook contacts linked at once.

Is this with an empty updates and events list? I can't see the option now the list has the entries I added in manually!

Once I added all mine the option disappeared. De-link a few people if you want to try it out.
Just tried it, the phone only found one link! Oh well, i'm guessing that might be down to how the names are formatted on the phone and in facebook?

Possibly. Not sure how it makes the matches.

As great as the HD2 is, no phone as yet attained the ability to read your mind. Seems a decent sample size - did you notice a pattern in those that did/didn't auto match? Full name, email, phone number, etc. not matching?
It would be good to know how it's doing the matching, I've got a deady mix of being curious as to how it works ye being too lazy to de-link and subtlely modify some contacts.
MSN Live tip
Ive added all 700 FB contacts.. open MSN Messenger and within there is an option to add all FB Contacts.. then sign in on MSN on ya phone goto live and merge contacts ;-)

Hehe.... thats true !
In my case, all the contact wasnt exactly as the FB profiles. I imported contacts from iPhone. And in the process some of the contact were listed as Lastname, Firstname. FB couldnt match the profiles then
Raising this thread up again.. I have some question re. the contact photo.
I have about 450 - 500 contacts. Roughly 150 of these have photos stored in Outlook that I'm quite happy with. Doing a Facebook link-up matches about 250 of these accounts. Some of these 250 linked accounts already had photos I liked. Still with me so far?!
Now I know you can go into each contact individually and select whether to use their Facebook picture or Outlook picture, but is there a way to set this behaver by default? My preference would be to use the Outlook one by default, unless there isn't one in which case to use the Facebook one. Surely this "wish" must be quite common?!
Also, is there a way pull said Facebook photos over to Outlook, so as they are stored and pop up on my laptop Outlook etc? I used a 3rd party app a year or so ago (hence the pictures in Outlook already) and while I could use this again it seems silly to have to do the link-up twice!!
Thanks in advance..
ive noticed a strange problem with my magic.......somehow i lose my contacts.....for example i wanted to dial a friends number and i noticed its no longer there in my contacts......a few numbers have gone missing.....
this is like the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened.......pls help me guys......
thank u
bump?? anyone??
did you pick the right group and sync group?
anheuer,can u please explain that? i didnt understand wat u were saying.....
i have noticed that basically its my starred or fav contacts that have disappeared.......
i mean i have stored the number,but when i wanted to dial that contact,i cudnt find it in my contact list at all!!
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
i did as u said........its says all contacts........ damn...
i think there is a problem when the phone syncs with google contacts.....

Hey,
I finally bought a new HD2
I've some problems,
1. I can't get Contact order to set as First Name First and Last Name last. Its just Last Name first now. How do I change that?
2. Also has anyone managed to get Google Exchange working properly? Im able to sync mails, but not Contacts or Calendar entries?
Will add more doubts if I come across.
P.S. Ive searched before posting. If I did miss, kindly show me the link

1. If you go to contacts, then select the contact, edit, and a few lines down is "file as". It's labourious so may be easier to do from a PC
If you go to "people", you need to go to the contact, edit, scroll down to reach "more" at the end and it puts you in the contact edit field described aboce.
2. No idea, sorry.
Google Sync working fine here using the settings as per their set up pages, Calender and Contacts working.
for mass managing of the contacts in the right order you can use 'contacts changer 1.3'

Thanks a lot brother! That made the task a whole lot simpler!
Just a note that Contacts changer is not free anymore.
Now another problem I've been facing is that, Im not able to Copy Paste in Contacts app. Like I want to Cut one fields details and put it in another field, but whenever I select the text, and try to tap on it inoder to hold and get the menu, the text gets deselected.
Im not able to Copy-Cut-Paste properly.

Be carefull because Google Sync doesn't support Task synchronization.
You've to disactivate it to be able to synchronize Contacts, Calendar & Mails.
^^ Yea bro. You're right! Tasks was the issue! Now everything works perfect
But the CopyPaste problem still exists for the Contacts app (among other random apps) Any solution for that?
I think the only solution is to install a keyboard that has Cut/Copy/Paste functions.
My favourite is Touchpal but there are others that do this.
Ironically the original WinMo keyboard did include the Ctrl key so these operations were possible

The problem exists in HTC's PEOPLE app but not in the CONTACTS app located in the Outlook folder in the START menu.

after using oggsync (app install needed on the phone) for more than one year, i just discovered nuevasync (no install, use activsync), it can sync till 11calendar with free account, contacts, etc... seems to work very great
Dear all,
Did a search and could not find anything that related to my specific problem. So apologies if I did not look hard enough.. BUT...
I finally cleaned up all my contacts on google and synched my phone with googlesynch rather than sony synch. Great all fine, except.. if I create a contact in my x10, so someone calls me, I add their number as a new contact. When I next synch the contacts, the new contact has been deleted!
I can not for the life of me find any setting on the x10 which chooses how it synchs and why it keeps deleting the contacts!?
Any help advice would be appreciated...
What happens if u go to settings, data synchronization, google sync, n check the auto sync option n then add the new contact?
perhaps mayb try mess with the option at the bottom, group synchronization?
hope its of any use!!
Sent from my rooted x10i using swype via xda!!
Tried autosynch, and manual synch, and unselected all the group options. Stilll no joy. I presume this works fine for everyone else?

Yep, works fine for me.
i had this prob...
since then stopped using sync services..
whenever u need a backup of ur contacts, jus go to contacts tab and select backup to mem card.
a .vcf file is created in the storage card\system\pim folder which has all ur contacts..

Don't have my X10 with me at the moment but isn't there an option on which direction to sync? Directly on the X10 or on Gmail website settings?
Unless I'm thinking of Windows Mobile Device Center

I can't see that option on my Xperia, but not checked gmail settings as it either updates my phone if I create a contact in gmail or in gmail if created on my phone.
Hi all,
Could not find any settings to decide which way to synch. Hard Reset the phone and all works fine now! Thanks for all the suggestions though.
I had a slight suspicion it might have been to do with the googlemail.co.uk changing to gmail.com? But then why would the original synch work with the other contacts? maybe it would not allow googlemail account to add into gmail account?
Anyhow, after a full reset (and registering gmail on the phone) it seems to be fine now, touch wood(!)
Thanks again
