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?

Thought I would start a thread for those folks using Goodlink on their 8525 so we can discuss our unique issues.
Some useful apps
So, here is my list of know goodlink/pocket pc issues (unless anyone has solutions)
no easy/quick way to switch between vibrate/non-vibrate email notification
no way to voice-dial from goodlink contacts (only from sim contacts)
no way to have notification light turn on when email comes in
Anyone figured these out?
Basic Tweaks
My final initial post -- for those neophyte users like me, here are the tweaks I have installed to-date just to get some added functionality out of my new 8525:
PTTfix (which enables me to use the button manager to re-program the PTT button [button 5] -- which I have now set to open voice dial when hit)
Magic Button (allows for seeing what programs are running and ensuring they are really closed)
mVoiceMail (allows me to listen to my corporate email wav files)
Vibra Switch (allows me to program a button to quickly switch between ring/vibrate mode -- I have programed my PTT button to do this when I push and hold down -- as opposed to a quick click, which turns on voicedial)
I'd like to show more or less appointments on my today screen, and/or specify only all-day events or the entire day's appointments.
And I'd like the good contacts to work with outlook
good luck on outlook integration. goodlink simply does not interact with pocket outlook. if you need the global address book, you simply have to use goodlink. after installing goodlink, i removed all items from the today screen except the inbox, and re-mapped the keys to my pocket informant calendar/contacts, and sync appts and contacts with activesync. i hate goodlink, but it's what the company uses. i hate how it tries to replace everything on the device, and how once installed you can't uninstall it. so i only see and deal with the inbox.
hi all,
I'v spended 2 hours reading posts etc. etc. so I'm quite sure that this question has not been posted yet.
The TP2 has the great possibilty to "sync" with your facebook account. Display pictures and birthdays etc.
Since my facebook friendslist is all but impressive I am wondering if I can sync the TP2 with an hyves account instead. Does anyone know this?
My second question... I know there has been posted a program here so that you can only unlock your device by pressing some code orso on the screen... instead of simply pressing the power button.
Dispite my search efforts I am unable to find it ... can anyone help?
Thanks a lot !
Tha Cbx
The TP2 has no native support for syncing with anything but a facebook account (or exchange account). So it won't work with your Hyves account, unless you can find some software that will act as a 'middle man'.
In the settings of Winmo, you can specify a code to unlock your device, AFTER you have pressed the power button. Settings>Lock
Good luck
I can't seem to find any way for the clock to auto-update itself to keep it accurate!
There doesn't seem to be any option unless I've missed it..
Does anyone know how to do this?
try "SmartTimeSync 1.1"
but is there any way without having to install a seperate program?
Activesync syncs the time too... you don't need any if you sync with your pc often.
perhaps you listen to radio from time to time?
PowerRadio has an option to sync via RDS (if I remember right - have not used it in some time)
also there are many tools to sync via timeserver or gps...
I have to agree with the OP. Why isn't there a way to sync time natively on the phone? All of my other phones do.
As already said, clock is automatically synchronized when device is connected to a PC via Activesync or WMDC. In Activesync it is enabled by default but can be disabled in Options. I personally use GPS2Blue to get date&time from GPS sats..no need for a connection nor a pc,easy.
Hi,
may you can help me with a lil problem.
my active sync checks up every hour for new mails etc.
after checking, it is always on top of my mobile desktop. so when i push the on/off button to see what time it is or whatever I only see the actsync screen.
then i have to unlock the device and press the "x". thats not a big thing but ... you know.
thanks
