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

Could you please give some more details on your problem so that we can better help you out?
Anyway, I once had a sync problem with windows live and was unable to fix it. Seems that it´s a bug in the program so I had to dump everyting and start all over with a fresh install!
Thanks for the reply. I had to delete the account and re-install it. The crazy thing is that it shows a few names in the contacts list of MSN IM until I delete and reinstall...TJ
Sounds like ur sorted, thought I would post this anyway.
Found it on www.htc.com, only thing is you must register to be able to access this link. You can do that without a device S/N though.

Fix for Windows Live Messenger (Online contacts not showing) - for English version
If contacts appear as offline in Windows Live Messenger even though they are online, please download this fix (.exe file) and install it on your device to solve the problem.
Note: Only the 18125.0.2.3 OS build and earlier versions have this problem and need to be installed with the hot fix. Later versions do not need to be installed with the hot fix. To check the OS version on your device, tap Start > Settings > System tab > About.
hello, just recently i have had a strange problem with outlook.
When pressing the email in sense it does not open my email and when i view all messages it will not open from there, searched the forums end tried the lock trick didn't work!
soft reset does not fix the issue, i think only a hard reset will resolve this but before i do for anyone else having this problem id see if there is a quick fix out there which has not been mentioned before.
all was working with no problems, then this suddenly started, and it won't let me compose a message, but it still is syncing with exchange just doesn't open the mail.
I'm running the eguarna rework rom, its been fantastic except for the strange fault.
thanks peeps
double post
mod please delete
I am also having the same problem. Solutions please!
Hi all,
I am having a big headache with my phone now, please help if you have any idea to solve this, or if you have any idea to track the root cause! Thanks!
This morning when I woke up, I found that most of the profile pictures of my friends lost in the contact list. After a while investigation, I found that only 16 out of 4xx persons in my facebook left in my contact list.
To fix the issue, I tried a re-sync and this can't help. Except the contacts in gmail, only 16 persons in facebook appears in my contact list. I then tried to delete the facebook account in the contact, reboot my device, and add the facebook account again, but same issue happened again. If I choose not to automatically add all friends in my contact, the wizard will pop up exactly 16 friends to let me choose who should i import, but other 4xx friends disappeared.
I have double checked that I did not click "show friends with contact number only". And the strange things is, if i go to "activites" in the contact app, the update of friends that did not show up appeared in activites, and I can provide comment as well.
I am sure there is something wrong in the import process that skipped many of my friends from import. Anyone did try this and have a fix? Or how can I investigate the "log" or something else to pinpoint out the problem? I am afraid that even I hard reset my phone the same issue will exist!

Some "update":
I have tried to clear all cache / data in the application setting for "contacts" and "contacts location" and this can't help the situation...

Please give a hand.. anyone meet this issue?
Same thing with me.. The funny thing is, I can no longer add some of my facebook friends, they are no longer listed on the "Get Friends" menu. The phone thinks that they've already been added.
This happens when facebook sync have errors...
I still can't find a way to get back my missing Facebook friends...

I have searched all over the web and seems only you and me have reported this error.
Can we confirm that this issue is caused by "i9000 database has the corrupted friend" rather than "i9000 not able to interpret the facebook list"? To eliminate the issue, I have tried to clear the SNS / Contact / Contact Location cache / data but they still can't help. If this is the case, resetting the phone (but this is my last step) should help.
Could someone specialized in the i9000 data structure to suggest a way to fully clean up the contact database? Maybe this can cater the case if the db is corrupted by sync error!
Thanks!
I have a new friend in facebook today and as expected, the new friend not appear in the list after data-sync, no matter I want to add it later or add it during sync...
Furthermore, com.sec.android.app.sns/snsDB.db contains only the 16 friends in the database, which I suspect the server did not return the remaining contacts?

I have just tried a hard reset and the problem still cannot be solved... I think I need to call samsung support... This seems to be something wrong in the samsung sync server...
Same here, many contacts that sync from facebook are missing.
I don't use fb, so I don't think I can help, but I just wonder if something dumb in the software is going on. So, if you have 16 friends or however many syncing, these friends don't happen to show up elsewhere in your phone or in the cloud. Right? Maybe it has something to do with trying to match up with names you have in your phone book that have a phone number?
Again, just throwing an idea out there, but similar to how you can import all your google contacts or just the ones with a number.
Your friend counts seem awfully low, so if I'm wrong, try to think if there is anything common link between these friends that do get synced. Perhaps they have something in common that can help the sync...

Thank you very much for your suggestion... to answer your suggestion:
- I did nto click "show contacts with phone number only"
- I tried to dump the database from SNS, inside the database only the 16 friends exist, other 4xx friends no appeared in the database
- I have phoned samsung and they just request me to send them the phone. Their reply is quite inprofessional as they said if other facebook account is ok, that should be your account issue and saume generally can't help with facebook issue. But I am sure the phone is syncing with a samsung proxy instead of syncing to facebook directly.
I tried many things but nothing can fix this issue.
Ditto, I've tried many different things. Hard reset a few times as well and nothing. Reseated battery and put in a new sim. Perhaps maybe the order of things done is what works. I even tried to sync it before I created my google account. Anybody who has gotten this to work and remember what some of the first steps they did when they got their phone, input would be helpful to try and repeat your process.
if anyone can fix it please let me know how.
What firmware are you'll on? I had this problem with JG1. Flashed to JG5 and the problem's gone. But now my twitter contacts don't update. just two of them appear on my phone
I'm guessing there's a problem with the sync in our phones. I'm just learning to live with it
I have got a solution for this.
The problem is originated from the export error of facebook contact. Here is how I treat the problem:
1. Export your facebook contact using the facebook apps "Export Friends To CSV" (Google it and find the link, I cannot post the link)
2. After you have got the CSV, open it using Excel and check whether there are rows containing more than one contact. Apparently, there is error in the first friend contact info of these rows.
3. Remove those friends from your facebook contact (or ask your friends to fix their info).
4. Resync your Android contact with facebook.
This works for me. Hope this help.
Cheers.
