Removing Windows Live Contacts

I made a mistake, a bad bad mistake of synchronizing my windows live contacts to my ALL contacts. everytime i delete those WL contacts it will return some way or another. IS there anyway to not letting them synchronizing again other than a wipe?
I cant seem to untick the boxes in WLM mobile

Same here, and is it possible that deleting contacts only works one-by-one???
i want to delete all my contacts (NOT SIM CONTACTS) then copy them back again via sim manager but i cant even select all...
Any suggestion?
Thx

ok, just found out.
by signing out and then sign in back again via creation of new account option ( sign in back your old account), all your sync contacts will disappear
just remember not to select the sync options again.

nice, it worked... thanx
anyway, any suggestion for multiple selection of deleting contacts? and my other problem that in sim manager there's a "/1" sign at the end of all contact names... dont u have same issue?

no, i do not have this issue did u do a double copy of your contacts? that might happen , as i inferred from the SIM manager options

HTC HD2 Facebook integration

Just 2 questions
1. Is there a way of sync-ing your phone contacts with facebooks so it uses the contacts face book picture etc, i can do this individualy but is there a way of doing it in one big go.
2. Can you sync your facebook calander to the HTC HD2 calander?

1. Login your facebook account in Setting/Data services. It will sync your contact with facebook avatar and birthday but the names in your contact book must be the same with your facebook friend names, if not, u have to sync one by one
2. I dont think we can

Anybody know of a better facebook app out there for the HD2?? Lets face it, the one that comes out of the box is about as much use as tits on a fish.......

There is an updated version floating around

Does the integration remain after a new ROM flash? If the names have been changed etc the first time, should do I guess?

the integration info is saved in the 'notes' field of your contact. once you sync back AND associate your phone with fb they will all re sync.

The one reason syncing with fb is good: profile pictures. Most of my friends dont like me to sit there, and take a picture of them when they give me their number, so this helps.

This works for most of my contacts, but I had to do a hard reset ant almost 1/4 didn't have nothing in Notes field - so didn't associate automatically. Is there any way to make a "full resync" or something similar so I don't have to manually associate those contacts next time?
P.S. something more simple than manually adding a Note

Does anyone have problem with this facebook sync. Everytime I try to sync, my HD2 gets verry laggy until it don't respond, and I have to pull my battery. This happens when i manually select update now, or if my phone is set to automaticaly update. Its really annoying

It's smooth for me
Maybe sth related to ur rom. Try hard-reset or flash another rom

I have done hard reset a bunch of times. HTC customer support told me to install the latest ROM, and then do a hard reset. I tryed it, but with no luck. Everything else, works like a charm. I do use ROM from HTC 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR. Maybe I should look into some custom ROM's? Any tips for a good rom? I have been searching the forum and there is so many to choose from. Can I use anyone? Or should it be one for Norway?

Do u have HSPL on your phone? If yes, try to install a couple of cook roms. Remember to do a task 29 before flashing any rom. If u have no idea about what HSPL or Taks29 is, please do take a look in the HD2 Rom development, read threads about them, and there's also a thread for noob flashing guide. It takes time but worth it.
I can suggest u a couple of cook roms I've used but it's better that u should look into the Rom threads to see which one suit ur needs, every rom is really good and fast, stable more than stock rom. I can recommend some such as CleanEX, Energy or Touch-X

there is a program called SocialSync can be found here
SocialSync 0.1
Imports (one-way synchonization) your Facebook contacts to your Pocket Outlook.
Supports the following sync mappings:
* Facebook super-sized profile pic --> Outlook Picture
* Facebook Full Name --> Outlook's FileAs, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName
* Facebook Profile URL --> Outlook GovernmentID
* Facebook Relationship Status --> Outlook Spouse

* Adds "facebook" to Outlook Categories
* Facebook Status --> Outlook JobTitle

* Facebook Email (image representation) --> Outlook Email
Supported on:
WM2003, WM5, WM6, WM6.5, WM6.5.3
QVGA (240x320) Portrait (want more formats? donate!)
.NET Compact Framework 3.5
i tried it on my HD2, it does work but it does take a long time to sync and transfer facebook details to your contacts (well maybe for me coz i linked like 100+ contacts)
but one thing good about this is that it edited the birthday field on my contacts on my device, and now can be used by manilaBirthday
also, if contact doesnt exist on your device, u can add friends from FB to ur contact list

question... if i login to the sense facebook without enabling it to download automatically every 2 hours, would facebook in sense still try to update by itself?
the reason here is i logged in to facebook in sense but did not enable automatic downloading yet surprisingly my phone started to access my internet. others experience the same?

does any1 know how to get the facebook sync back in action after turning it off. I disabled it temporarily, but I lost all the synced data as a result. After reactivating it, it no longer syncs (although for some reason it seems to acknowledge that the contacts have a facebook profile linked to them, but it is unable to download photos, updates etc)
Is there anyway to do it aside from a hard reset? Something I'd rather avoid
I'm using the stock ROM 3.14 (WWE)

Facebook for hd2 or hd2 for facebook?
No one has come across "snaptu"? Go to http://m.snaptu.com . there you download a app for your hd2, there is unsigned and verisigned which i dont understand the significance of it. But i lliked it. It is a JAVA app so you need to run JBlend and then snaptu app. i can do everything as on a computer except CHAT. Do you know anything better? please tell me. especially one that you can chat with.

[Q] Windows Phone 7 Google Contacts Problem

When I import my google contacts to wp7, all contacts appear but I notice that some of them have numbers and some don't. What's wrong?

Your OS is wrong.

i'm asuming u r editing contacts in google. my experience is that, u just need to give it some time (in most of the cases it shows up immediately though).
but if u r importing contacts (syncing for the first time), it should show all contacts with number. i'm just sharing my experience.

actually, I think I've solved it. I noticed that when I looked at the one's with the numbers, they were under the category "mobile" in google contacts while those that didn't where "main". I'm changing everything now to mobile then I'll just factory reset everything then import the contacts again. Hope that works..

I'm having the same problem could you tell me please as all my contacts are there but with no numbers apart from facebook contacts!! Any advice would be good.
Thanks.

My girlfriends phone has an problem with google right now. Last night I got her HD2 working on mango. She imported her contacts from google just fine.
The phone froze I did a hard reset and it was working with in 20mins. Now google won't sync contacts from google. It will do email but not contacts.
Even if she logs into live and tries to import from her Gmail account it won't import the contacts.
Been like this for 12 hours now.
ERROR CODE: 80070057

Google contacts sync problem - SOLVED
Guys, I've just picked up a Nokia Lumia recently and was having problems synching my google contacts phone numbers. I noticed because some mobile numbers were there from my outlook account but the google ones were not.
I remember the opposite of this happening with my Android phone as I wanted to stop all new contacts I added showing up so moved them all out of the "my contacts" group in google.
If you have done this, then select all the contacts you want to see in WP7 and add them to the "my contacts" group in google then re-sync the account on your phone and it will then work perfectly. At least it did for me.
Enjoy

same problem here bro, i am checking all my 500+ contacts right now, and its frustrating

[Q] Choosing contact name in mango

Hi guys,
This might be a very simple thing but somehow I am missing it. I have linked 3 accounts for a contact(linkedin, facebook and windows live). But my focus is selecting the name from windows live as default. Anyway to change it to something from another account say facebook? All I can see in the pencil icon is to manually edit the name. Is this the only solution, to manually edit the names to that in facebook or linkedin?

You cannot edit facebook and linkedin profile. They are read only.

Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward way to do this correctly and solve your issue. All this is due to people syncing their contacts to Windows Live and using WP7. MS has suggested we shouldn't sync contacts on WP7 using Windows Live. I personally had issues while doing so and I switched to Gmail/Outlook and never had an issue since.
Settings/application/people
in "filter my contact list" deselect Wildows Live
this is known to create issues.
Alternatively at the bottom, tap "Windows Live" and check if you can un/check "sync contacts". If you can't you have to do it on a PC (browser).

Ok will try to migrate my contacts from windows live to google.. Hope that will solve the issue.. thanks guys..

Goto people>Select settings>Filter My contacts.. Here you can select any account.
You link contacts too by going into a specific contact and click on the middle option(looks like a chain). By doing this you can reduce the number of contacts being displayed!! Hope this helps

Windows Live should do a better job for contacts feature.

No argue here. However, syncing contacts to Windows Live is not something recommended for WP7. I've had several issues myself and also others had reported problems syncing (contacts reverted to the online list etc). A quick search for contact sync issue reveals several threads on MS Answers: here, here, here, here etc...

Windows phone / google sync solved

my apologies if this is already solved, i couldn't find this info !
I have solved why google contacts will not sync properly with windows phone !
symptom:
You set up a google account and only some names actually have numbers, the rest are only names !
You set up google account and none of the numbers show for people from the account !
reason:
Windows phone does not recognize certain phone types from google ( other, voice, etc )
cure:
Log in to your gmail account
go to contacts
in contacts you will see a list of people that are synced with your google account
click a name
to the side of the number is a box which shows phone type ( other, voice, mobile, home etc )
select one of the 3 , home, work or mobile only
go back to contacts and do this for each contact ( sorry there is no shorter way )
now re-sync your windows phone
you should see all the numbers for missing contacts !!
to prevent this happening in the future:
When you save a new contact in google, make sure you use one of the 3 types of phone number ( mobile, work or home only ) and then save your contact !!!

Thanks
