o2 xda ignito/HTC diamond windows live messenger syncing contacts problem

hey when i went on windows live messenger on my o2 ignito... it started synchronising contacts... so i was like fair enough.. if i had to get on msn messenger then i'll let it load etc.. but now all these email addresses are on my All People contact list and i just want my phone numbers i put in and not my windows live messenger contacts! i want them to be seperate.. like if i go on windows live messenger (msn) that i can use that... and then if i go on my phonebook is just my friends phone numebrs that i put in..
anyone know what to do
thanks a lot guys!

You can do this by first of all, going into windows live, not messenger. Go to Account option on the Menu tab, tap on Switch Windows Live ID.
Re-enter your account details and when you get past entering username and password, you will see a list of things that you can sync. I personally leave them all unticked as I don't want my hotmail on my device, nor a long list of contacts on the phone itself.
Each time where a reasonable amount of time has gone by where I have not used Windows Live, I go to the Sync page and tap that to get the latest personal settings etc and then go straight into msn.
Hope this helps.

hey
thanks a lot dude.. really did..
can now see my contacts! lol

also do you, or anyone know whta happened to the GPS system etc :-S and maps?? on the xda ignito... because it came with like a few programs lol... and i always put peoples first names and last names for the contact list.. but it arranges contacts by last name, first name... when i want it to be first name, last name...
anyone know how to change that?? sorry for all the dumb questions lol... the manual they gave is so useless

Issues with windows live mail

Can anyone assist with some guidance on this.
Since WLM was installed, it does not always update me on new mail not unless I am synced to my pc. Excuse me if am wrong but roaming is enabled hence don't see why it does not work.
Is this a re-installation issue with Rom OS or WLM application.
Any idea would be great!

I get the same with my Windows Live/Hotmail account. Even if I leave my data connection live, I still have to go in and select send/receive to get the latest state of play. Were you expecting 'push email' with Hotmail/Windows Live because I don't think that's offered - well I've not found how to do it with Hotmail.

I have no problem with Windows Live. Get to the options for the Account:
Messaging screen->Menu->Options
Select the account. Tha first screen lists 1 through 8 the WL options. Select Sync Schedule. Under sync frequency, select 'As Items Arrive'.
Save changes!

how the devil did you guys ever get past the 'failed to synchronize' issue I really would like to get my push hotmail working but, once the account is initially set up I can never get the damn application to fully synch again, even with a stripped down account, cleaned email folders ect.

You generally ever only get failed to synchronize when you sync without the being connected to your pc/laptop.
I assume you are using the right version.
I suggest you uninstaller and re-install. Go through the steps normally like you would do on initial set-up. Once your are past there..
You then come into stage two of the problem.

I know Windows does not support Push mail!!! Even when I send and receive it syncs and fails. It is very temperamental..!

Sorry you all are having trouble. "Push" e-mail works 100% fine with Windows Live Mail on my Tilt. As it's been reported, use "As Items Arrive" as the sync frequency.
I use a version of WL that has Messenger still in it, and I find that as long as Messenger is logged in, my Mail syncs flawlessly.

So the option was there all along. I only have 1 - 6 options on that first page but that has done the trick - thank you for the lesson

My email also " pushes " flawlessly. Unfortunately my tilt also remains constantly
connected and sync'd for this to happen, thus killing my battery by 6 pm
everyday. On days that I know I will not have access to a charger I have to
shut off my push email as a battery conservation method

mine also works flawlessly well almost, i can get the inbox folder to update, but not any of the folders i have set up?
any ideas?

how do I transfer contacts from windows contacts?

I got windows Vista, and i can't figure how to do nothing with the sync or the mobile device manager, its like it has no options for any of that.
how do i transfer my contacts that are now in "Windows contacts" to my Diamond ?
- also, appearntly i can't do anything with my vista, stuff just won't work, it won't sync (or i don't know how) any one has experience with this ?
I think im gonna go back to my iphone this phone is driving me crazy it's too complicated for a phone and it's annoying on top of all.
Thanks in advance.

Use the owner manual

Sorry for my english, but I have the contacts sicronized with vista and XP my 2 notebooks.
For this I user the owners manual and resolve the problem. I dont remember how because i dont have problems. I change many times the room, and syncorized again without problems.
Carlos

but how do u sync ? using what software ? i see the device it says: connect in the mobile device center but there is no options there to choose what to do just shows that its connected.
and when i try to flash a rom it says im not synced

As far as I know (and from a quick Google search), it's not possible to sync contacts from Windows Contacts. Only Outlook's contacts are supported.

Wouldn't it be easier to sync your contacts via your Windows Live Messenger or Outlook? I have my contacts stored in my messenger contact list and when I sync it with Windows Live the same information is synced to my contacts.

But i can't sync at all, I don't have active sync or anyway to choose my device and click sync it ! .. ?

Well then the first step would be to get ActiveSync. It's a free download from Microsoft (remember if you have Windows Vista or 7, get Windows Mobile Device Center instead).
The problem then is the fact that you don't have Outlook so you won't be able to sync anything. As VerusAmos said above, the best option if you don't have Outlook is to use the Windows Live contact sync. Of course, I'm not sure how this will help if you have all your contacts in Windows Contacts format.
It does seem pretty stupid to me that MS would just ignore people who don't have Outlook.

I don't believe you can remove them. All you can do is delete the contacts so they don't show up on the phone (if you only use the Gmail or Outlook contacts). Removing them from your Live contacts will also remove them from you messenger contacts, so keep that in mind.

I believe Ms has copied this from google . so the only option is I guess you delete them in your live account or delete the live account under setting which of course will affect your market accessibility.
or better still make a new live account with no contacts

um how did
you even get your windows live contacts on the phone? i synced my contacts to windows live from myphone winmo 6.5.x then got my hd7 signed in with my windows live no contacts appeared, then signed in with my gmail account and it pulled my contacts from my gmail.

Whatever Windows Live ID you enter as the first/primary one will automatically sync with your Contacts (store in your Hotmail/Contacts account) and Calendar (stored in your Windows Live Calendar) account. There is no choice, as this is how it works. The phone assumes the first Windows Live ID you enter is your primary means of communication, therefore will automatically sync all that information to your phone.
To remove those contacts from your phone, you would delete them from your Contacts and/or Hotmail account and it will reflect the changes across all of Windows Live. This includes Windows Live Messenger.

The Microsoft MyPhone contacts are not part of Windows Live and therefore will not sync with your Windows Phone 7 device since MyPhone is not available for the platform and incompatible.

If you log in with your windows live account, WP7 will automatically use those contacts. This is by default and not changable.
Yeah you can probably delete them...or create a bogus account that has no contacts, etc., but the premise is still the same....first WL account gets the calendar and contacts sync'd automatically

Here it is what you have to do when you want to receive your hotmail e-mails but not sync hotmail contacts, in otherword to Exclude windows live contacts....
SETTINGS > ADD AN ACCOUNT > OTHER ACCOUNT > Then just type your hotmail adress and the password.
That`s it, the HD7 is only syncing E-mail !!!! all hotmail (windows live) contacts are NOT synched !!!!!
DO NOT USE "WINDOWS LIVE" option !!!!! when adding a new e-mail !!!

Issues already

See bellow post

never mind, the http://myphone.microsoft.com only works with WM6.
Ok so how can help me get my full contacts, music and pictures from my HD2 to the new phone.
Very retarted I must add. There should be a simple application that allows you to transfer all that data to ur comp or some other place and then back to the new phone, no matter what the os version is like Nokia has.
Please help

Here's what i did:
1. first create a windows live account online
2. sync all your contacts to outlook (use active sync for xp) by connecting ur hd2
3. convert ALL contacts through outlook - access FILE, IMPORT EXPORT, choose EXPORT A NEW FILE, choose Comma Separate Values (windows), then type in preferred file name (take note of file location in ur pc)
4. log in to windows live account, go to contacts page and import the contacts by accessing the file you exported from Outlook.
5. activate your phone's DATA or WIFI connection, and set-up/turn on your windows live account on your hd7.
6. once complete, all contacts should sync on your hd7!
The process is lenghty and i prefer direct sync from outlook similar to WM6.5 but i think Microsoft wants to promote windows live.
Hope this helps!
** btw, for pictures and music, i believe the best way is to use ZuneSW on your pc or use the MAC connector if you're using mac (like me!). both can be downloaded through windows website, just "bing it"!

Thank you for the reply.
Two problems
Cant sync with Outlook, have it installed, set up accounts when I connect my HD2 to it, it tells me that out look is not my default email program, even though its set to be, i checked, then when I go into settings it only lets me sink notes and some other crap, not contacts.
So I used the windows live to sink, or what I though was windows live. but its for V6 only. ( very retarted on microsofts part)
When you log into windows live, it has nothing to do with your phone.windows account.
I cant get zune to install either, gives me a net frame error, even though net frame is up to date.
Im running windows 7, with all latest updates.
Im not idiot when it comes to computer, but man windows is making it tough to do simple things.
I just tried to install that stupid software for the cloud, it would not install any o fit either, cant figure out what is going on.

You guys make things to hard. add the windows live account to your hd2 and have it sync then add the win live account to your hd7. You can also use gmail thru activesync on the hd2 and it will give you an option to sync gmail contacts on the hd7

Never thought of that before! I only opened a windows live account when i transitioned to HD7. I used the hard way (outlook sync), it's great that u suggested an easier one.
Thanks!

Tried the Gmail version when I first got the HD2 and it did not give me option of which way to sync, it saw my gmail account had no contacts and cleared them all off.
Either way, I think microsoft should develop a simple back up and sync system, without having to use outlook or windows live, i dont use either way on a daily basis.

Just tried your idea, went to Windows Live on HD2, logged in, on sync options only option is to show windows live contacts on phone, not vice versa, do a sync, log on to my live account via pc, no contacts shown.
have you actually done this? or just going of of theory?

You should use ActiveSync on your old WM device to connect to your Live/Hotmail-account.
It will sync your phone contacts to your live account which then will show up in your WP7 device.
It worked for me, even though I don't have a hotmail-address.
