About Live messenger WM6, pls help!!!

[markyeungcy]

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.

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' :eek:
Had to hard-reset... :mad:
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....:rolleyes:

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.
