n900 contacts mixed up facebook msn and ordinary contacts
 
hey i have like 80 normal phone number contacts in my phone but when i went online in my msn and facebook account in conversations app, my contacts went to around 400. all the msn and facebook accounts are showing in contacts even if im offline. please tell me is there any way that i can hide or delete those and so the contacts can only display the normal phone number contacts ie the 80 that i have? i see those 80 contacts are in the sim numbers group but i have to manually go to sim contact group and then select the contact. or maybe is there any way that i can create a homescreen shortcut for the sim contacts group? i just want to tap on the homescreen and want my normal 80 contacts instead of those 400. help would be really appreciated.
thank youuuu:)

You can delete those added. They will not be added again.

And yes, this is by design. It was meant to be a merger experience for people with a ... let's call it more average contact system.

You can sort the contacts by availability to easyly access. Or use PC Suite, should work.

hey thanks. but when i delete all contacts, all my normal contacts get deleted and facebook and msn contacts stay. so basically i cant delete those. is there any app that can sort this out? or is there any way that i can create a shortcut on the homescreen to the sim group numbers?

Not sure about if this is answer but might help:

Itīs by design that when you First time log in to facebook/google/hotmail etc. IM account it retrieves contact data from server and adds it to contact manager. With merger you can merge duplicate contacts to one and it should not duplicate itself for that specific contact.

I meant start contacts, sort by availability, choose menu > delete and start manually checking the items one by one. Bit of work, but it's a one-shot deal.

ok dude this is how it works

contacts = show all contacts

if u have msn from dev don't merge with others as will screw yours pics if you also have facebook. and msn did not always work so don't use it any more just skype and facebook chat.

you should merge your facebook contact with phone contacts. use the merge app

conversations = all chat conversations

Phone App ! = only contacts with numbers and also skype if u use.

hopes this helps dude!

Out!

just disable your facebook chat account & msn account...
disabling these account will make the facebook & msn contact not appearing on the contact list....
