Removing Windows Live Contacts - HD2 General

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?

Contacts has disappeared

Hi,
My Windows contacts seems ot have dissapeared.
I installed an app called PCM Contact and thathas taken over as the default. I also have Vito Fun Contact installed and sometimes that launched when i press contact instead.
When i uninstall PCMContact, and click on contacts it complains that PCMContact is missing?
Weird thing is earlier today, it came back without me doing anything at all...
Any ideas?
Apologies if this has already been asked (I did search)
Thx in advance!

No - not necessarily true! Maybe you have just had a bad experience with some programs.
Solution?
So wat would the solution be?
Ive found that if get the error and then go contacts via the slider and click in contact then the problem seems toncorrect itself, but it cmes again

As far as I know, that only syncs the phone contacts. I think you need third-party SIM manager software.
For example this. Do google search to find more programs. I've never dealt with this, and maybe there is some registry hack or setting on the HD that will allow it. Maybe someone else knows for sure.
EDIT: What you could do is transfer the sim contact to your phone. Then it will sync along with all the other contacts. To do that, just go to your contacts and tap on a sim contact to select it. Press Menu--Save Contact
You can edit information and when your done, it will create a copy and save it as a phone contact. The sim contact will still be there.
Through Dashwire which is a free online back up programme which does work with HTC HD you can sync the contacts onto a webpage, delete, edit do whatever you like with them and sync them back plus you have a permanent back up of them online - may be of some use?

Sync + Duplicate Contacts?

Hi All!
for some reason, I am having issues with Sync.
I completed the entire "ROOTing" procedure on my X10a.
I have about 90+ contacts, some of the contacts have more than 1 contact # listed (e.g. home / mobile / office)
Basically, I had re-create all 90+ from scratch due to unfortunate circumstances with the ROOTing procedure. Which i was not happy about
Anyways, first, I created the entire contacts, followed by phonebook ==> contacts backup ==> to SIM :
it displays, some contacts couldn't be back'up'd (I am presuming to long names & having more than one contact #s per person
(2) I tried phone-book ==> back to SD ===> worked perfectly! (Yet, on the SD card, I don't know where it is stored...if someone can tell me what file directory is located under, that would be helpful
(3) Sony Ericsson Sync - it worked, the icon had the sent/receive logo spinng arrow, after the sync is completed, now my phone book has double copies of the contacts....WTF?! ... I had to go manually and delete them ... WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
(4) Google Sync - apprently, I have 206 contacts items deleted for my [email protected] account, it reached Maximum Delete Limit, asking me either (a) Undo (b) Delete (c) Do nothing.... again WTF? is this? ... I don't have 206 contacts ... or I deleted any of them...
What do i do?
1) yup most likely double numbers or other additional info
2) I think the contacts are found in your sd card under system/pim.
3) never used it!
4) ermmm you could perhaps try open your phonebook.. import contacts n locate that file n c if its the right file.
then I guess u can delete all ya contacts, I think 206 prob includes all ya duplicates, so delete them all.
Start fresh.. import em then sync across
upto you if ya wanna try my method.. someone might have a different way!!
anyway hope it helps!!

Okay, thanks for the reply.
Further to add, what happens now if I had a image to each of the contacts?
Will contact back-up program internally make a back-up of the images too?
Or should I just use SE or Google Sync?
Aside from X10a directly:
is there anyway I can access the Sync'D A/C thru my computer, by logging on to gmail or SE's website?
Perhaps I can modify the Sync'D data / contacts and stop this duplication from happening!
Everytime it SYNC's with SE, it starts the creation of the duplicate profiles, Google Sync is still giving me the 206+ contacts deleted maximum error message.
how do I start fresh?
how do i clear all my Sync'D data from SE or Google? without deleting all my contacts on the phone?
One final question, how do I delete SIM-Card Contacts, is there an APP for it?
Im not sure about images as I don't used them but I doubt they'll be saved when you backup contacts. I think se sync does it but I'm sure I've heard people say they don't get the full quality image back..?
Cant really help ya with se sync but for google, if you go into your googlemail account using your username/password you should be able to view your contact list section and edit from there. But its sync'd so whatever you changed there wil take place on your phone and vice versa.
maybe you can switch of sync mode on your phone and delete all your contacts manually from your google account and then turn sync back on ya phone?
As I was saying earlier, you can accept the deletion request (after you have backed up your contacts).. maybe restart ya phone n c wat happens? surely there must be someone out there who knows the proper procedure? would make it alot easier!!
hope any of the info helps!!

How can i delete people from wm7

Hi all
please
I copy all contact from SIM to windows phone 7
now i update it with google acount and i want to delete all contacts that i copied from the SIM in one step
How ?????
I don't want to delete one by one
Thank you
if you have backed up to google id just format and start again, probably quicker than any other way but then i dont know any other way, or sync to a live account, and fiddle with the contacts on your PC, if your talking about facebook contacts go to settings and you'll find an option NOT to display them, keeping your gmail or live contacts on by them selves.

no any way in wp7 or no any program can delete the contacts from the phone
and please if i format my phone can i use my activate code after formatting the phone or i need another one from microsoft
Not sure if this is what you want, but I just long press (hold down for a second or two) to pull up the option to delete contacts from my list.
And also your activation code will work regardless of how many times you reformat or flash your phone.
*Sorry just re-read your post, don't know of a way to delete all contacts with one step.*

[Q] How to save/import contacts to SIM card?

Hi guys, I recently reinstalled windows from 7 to 7.5 but I lost all the contacts which I added onto my phone since I was on 7. There was no options that I saw to "save to sim card or save to phone" like most other phones out there so I dont know where they are saved.. I had a brain wave about the fact that the contacts were "linked" with my email account but there is only the emails saved. I am wondering if the numbers are saved somewhere or, each time I have to reinstall I will have to ask fro their numbers every time? Has anyone else had this happen?
Please let me know as I really want to update my rom and radio for better battery life!
Many thanks,
Marc
you cant save contacts to SIM card.. not compatible... phone automatically save contacts to your Live account (and you never loose contacts if you not loose your login data ) this is only if you login to Live account with your phone (and also live activation code entered)
you can access online to your account contact list via
http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts
ahh yes, i see it now, so then I can export the whole list as a .csv file too. Now I sign in on my phone and can add it to the phone directory? Sorry if its nooby but I cant seem to access anything like that through the dedicated email app? Juat on internet explorer?
Marc
if you have mails in contacts list, you simply use mail app
and again, all is simple... you thinking too much simple: add Live account to phone and all is solved... all your contacts be saved and you not loose it and you use this contacts with phone or computer...
i give you this link http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts to access it via computer (if you need to change contacts very easy if need it), not with WP7...
pda v8 has this function build-in
