Is there anyway to remove all the windows live messenger contacts in the contacts? Its REALLY annoying because I have 500 people on my MSN list.
Basically I just want all the contacts from Sim Manager only to be viewed in the contacts screen. How can I do it?
sync with outlook delete all live contacts
sync again with the setting make the pda like windows option
first backup outlook's pst file to be sure
and don't use the version of msn msg which auto add it's contacts
to contacts
I'm sorry your explenation confused me.
How do I sync with Outlook?
If I have to sync with my PC that doesn't work for some reason. I get an Error in the Active Sync software everytime I try.
I got it to sync with activesync and it said it synced my contacts succesfully.
But where are they? And it only seemed to sync 120 contacts. If all my MSN contacts are in my contact list on my phone there should be 500+
*bump*
please guys i really need some help with this. Its becoming frustrating going through a list of 500 to make a call.
hello, I'm switching from my beloved touch pro to the nexus one, but don't want to manually put all of my contacts to my new phone. is there a way for me to export all my contacts from windows myphone contacts to google and to the nexus. i tried just importing my contacts through my live account, but that only pulled the email contacts and not all of my phone contacts. I'll take forever to do it manually, and if I save them to my sim, I'll lose a lot of info. any help? I'm lost at this point.
I looked for a solution to this for a days. The best solution is http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how-does-it-work- up to now.
thanks. looks like exactly what I was looking for. I'll give it a try and report back.
I found that installing Google Mobile App on my Touch Diamond2 synced all my contacts to my Google Account and therefore automatically appeared on my N1.

There's many ways of doing this....
If any of these apply you can try any of these...
First you can just import them using bluetooth I'm sure. You could just 'mark all' or select all your contacts in your phone book on your phone and just send them using bluetooth to the nexus.
You could also import them into Outlook express and save them as a file and import them into gmail under contacts in gmail.
Or you could set up an extra gmail account and sync your phone's contacts to that account using Google sync and then export those contacts as a file and import them back into your main gmail account or keep them there and use that account to sync with your nexus.
Sorry for making it sound confusing but I'm coming off a symbian S60 V5... I know there's many ways of doing this
I dropped my HTC Touch Diamond down a storm drain, so I'm replacing it with the HTC EVO. My phone synced a day or 2 before, so I have all of my contacts online with Microsoft My Phone. I see no "export" option anywhere on the page. Any help/suggestions for retrieving and importing into the new phone?
I think the easiest way is to set up your gmail account as an exchange account on your Windows Mobile phone and set it to sync mail and contacts.

Then once you set up your N1, your contacts will sync automatically. I love this feature from Google as much as any other. You will never lose your contacts again, no matter what happens to your phone. Also, you can edit and add contacts in your gmail account online and they automatically appear on your phone.
DejaOffice will sync your Nexus contacts to Outlook via USB without going through the google cloud.
Is there a solution for exporting contacts from myPhone? I have broken my TD2 and my TD1 so I can't use that to sync the contacts to the phone and export them. If I could I would probably sync all my old text messages as well.
I am embarking on an approx 30 min task of copying and pasting all my 400 contacts from MyPhone to excel then I can import them. At least I get to tidy up my contacts and remove any duplicates.

This was great.. man u really helped me out..
H!
I have some questions, I tried doing it again and again but can't do it the right way..
I installed outlook hotmail connector, then logged in my live.com account, then dragged the contact form my outlook to live.com contacts, I logged in to my account via IE and didn't see any contacts, it says 0. After sometime, the "people" tile was full of my contacts, which I believe I dragged from outlook. Upon logging on, contact list of live.com still empty. I also tried adding a new contact on my phone, but that certain contact didn't appear on my outlook.
I am quite confused on how this connector works.
By the way , I am using 2 different live.com accounts. 1 for the signing in of marketplace, and 2nd for people tile.

A bit confusing how you say it but let me explain this way.
I know there is a way to do a direct sync via out look from comp to phone, no clue how I personally dont use that way.
Via Live.com:
Export all of your contact in Outlook a .csv file.
Save it on your desk top.
Log in to Live account on your computer, go to contact, there is an import option. When the browser opens up to find the file, locate it and import them.
THen on your phone, go to settings, then emails & accounts.
Select add new account
Select Windows Live
Log in using the SAME ACCOUNT as what you used to log into live.com on your computer.
It will auto set up and then ask you to set what to sync:
Emails, Contact, calendar, pictures
Select what you need, make sure you select Contacts.
Then sync the account and ur contacts will import from Live.com to your phone.
In your account setting on phone, select how often you want it to sync, remember the more often the more battery it uses.
So if you add a new contact, on next sync that contact will appear on your account when you log into live.com
Most important , use the same account.
I think Outlook Hotmail connector must sync with my live.com account without doing any importation of .csv files, in CSV files, how will picture be synced?
By the way I understand the Hotmail connector works, it must :
1.) automatically sync my contacts under live.com account on outlook without doing any importation process.
2.) since phone's contact list syncs sith live.com so it must update it self when I add new contacts.

I am sure there is a way to use Outlook hotmail sync but I cant get out look to work even with my HD2, always tells me its not there even though it is.
So I moved uploaded my contacts from HD2 ( would not upload to live.com) to google then moved them from google to hotmail then to new phone.
Pictures are part of what you select on hotmail sync but i dont have any here het to sync, so have not transfered pix from HD2 yet cause i cant get Zune to install on my box, not sure why, clean copy of Windows 7, only installed two months ago. gives me some error.
for pictures you take on teh HD7, its auto set to auto upload them to cloud sky drive, you can disable that and do it manually, its default to do it once ever so often or u can do it as soon as you take the pic.
Hope that helps

I had a similar problem. You need to delete the browsing history of Internet Explorer, then close Internet Explorer, then sign-in again to your Windows Live account and then you will see your contacts. I noticed on some occassions that there are sync issues within Internet Explorer and Outlook open at the same time. But closing and deleting the browsing history of Internet Explorer seemed to work for me.
I followed method 2 from this article and worked like a charm....

I've had and still have the same problem. The contacts are there in Live, if I try to edit or delete the whole lot it tells me how many are there, but if I click on contacts, it tells me I have zero contacts and asks if I want to import them from somewhere.
I have contacted microsoft support but have not gotten an answer yet.
And I imported mine from gmail (3 times) because I didn't know they had come across.
I believe that this set-up is the worst piece of garbage microsoft idiots could setup. PLEASE idiots of microsoft go back to activesync ....
To sync your live (imported from outlook) contacts and live calendar with outlook 2010, you just need to create your live account with connector in outlook and then set under settings as default datafile and if you want as your default e-mail.
Switching to the Captivate. Have all my contacts backed up on my Live/Hotmail account. Anyway way to just back those up and switch it to the Cap?
The only way I can think of at the moment would be to open your internet browser and login to your hotmail account, then export your contacts to your computer which should give you a save file. Then make a gmail account (which you're going to have to do anyways to use the android market) and import your contacts to that, then you can sync them to your phone. Another step would be to setup in the Contacts app setting to automatically make any new contact save to your gmail account instead of the phone.
Sweet, just did that. Just had to export CSV from Hotmail and import the CSV to my Gmail.
Thanks!
Glad I could help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Now both Microsoft and Google have your contacts information
I have an email that has a calendar file attachment, extension .ice. When I open this under Gmail, it say "No app can open this attachment for viewing". I get similar result if I use CM9 mail client.
If I open the same email using LG email client, or save the file on the sdcard and open it using the file manager, Business Calendar Free successfully launch and import the data.
May I know is there any setting in Gmail that I can trigger such that Business Calendar Free is launched when I select the attached file?
Since I am on this topic, do you have any solution to read Outlook calendar to the phone? With Google not longer support sync, I am in a fix how can I sync my Outlook calendar to my phone. I just need one-way sync from outlook to phone.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone? Please? Or it is that I failed to explain the issue clearly?
