[Q] Missing Twitter Contacts - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there;
I got Mango on the 27th; was able to sync with my Twitter account perfectly. Today in the morning I noticed that on the People Hub my Twitter contacts where missing; they were there before, since I remember linking Windows Live, Facebook and Twitter accounts of my contacts.
Did Twitter or Windows Live change some security settings and that's why they're not showing?

Confimed. I too lost the ability to link Twitter contacts.

same here! my twitter contacts vanished suddenly this afternoon.
Updated from mango beta2 7712

It happened yesternight (the 28th) to me.
The funny thing is that I still receive their updates on the What's New page. I just don't see them on my contacts anymore.
I miss seeing Alec Baldwin and Ellen Page on my contacts! It made me feel like a celebrity

did you upgrade from 7712? If you did then it could be that this bug has been carried over from 7712

No, I upgraded from 7008 clean install to Mango. At first Twitter loaded, but when I started to sort my contacts (link them etc...) today, Twitter contacts, which were not linked automatically are suddenly lost.

I upgraded from my NoDo backup - 7392.
It worked perfectly for the 27th, and on the 28th the contacts went away :'(

ok guys here's the workaround xD

Regardless the workaround, it should fix itself in 24 hours.
@joebelfiore: See a Twitter issue on #mango? Server problem, now fixed. Your @contacts will reappear within 24 hours. More at http://t.co/iis9a82k

Windows Live Messenger

hi guys,
just wondering if the latest version of these ROMs is the final release of windows live messenger?
If so, does this fix the issue with the contacts synching ?
Thanks
Stu
contact sync??
What is the problem do you want them to sync or not? mine sync's ok and has on all the wm6 ROM's that i have installed.
not sync. I read that in the final release of WLM this would be fixed, however i'm running ROM version 2.00.02 (not sure WLM version) not even sure whos ROM it is I flashed that long ago!
But even though the tickbox for syncing contacts and messenger is not selected when I attempt to sign in it warns me that it'll be synced, if I click cancel it doesn't sign in, clicking ok signs in but adds loads of contacts to my phones address book.
I was wondering if in the latest released ROMs this has been fixed before I go through the hassle of installing a new ROM and setting everything up again for it to do the same.
Thanks
Stu
Infact I might just install a new ROM this week anyway, was back in february when I installed this one lol
Its not being fixed, that's the way the new live mobile service works.
not being fixed?
so why is there a tickbox to choose whether u want to sync the contacts or not :S
By default having the contacts synced is quite silly and I can't believe they'd do that. It's like the desktop messenger synching the contacts with outlook or outlook express.

Facebook Contacts not syncing 2.2 7

Anyone having issues syncing FB contacts to "join" I was able to do this on 2.2.6 but not 2.2.7 Only one FB contact gets to the phone. Got to be something I am missing.....
Mine hasn't been working for the last two days. On Cog 2.1.6.
I have not been able to do it the past few days either on Cognition beta 8.1 or beta 9
Actually, on cog2.2b9 this is the first time the facebook sync has worked for me.

[Q] HD7 contacts ( people hub) are not updating/sync with windows live contacts.

Iam facing a strange problem with my HD7 since yesterday. I have made some addition and deletion in my windows live contacts. Now my HD7 is no longer reflecting/updating these changes. ( Previously HD7 was updating the contacts immidiatly).
Although I have kept my mobile phone's wifit on for several hours. Beside this I have access the hotmail account through HD7's internet explorer and have done a lot of surfing on my HD7 but still it has not updated the contacts. Am I missing some thing ?
Thanks.
is it getting your emails fine still? i know it's a bit risky and will mean your changes will disappear but worst case scenario would be to remove your live account from windows phone and readd it again.
Same problem here
It happened to me just after I edited and merged some contacts on my Windows Live account.
Now I'm not able to get all my contacts there to my device and I lost all avatars but the ones of facebook.
I think I tried anything but stills not working
wp7 doesn't let you to remove ur main windows live account
I found a strange & stupid kind of solution. I tired it 3 times and it worked.
Turn on the wifi. surf the market place and recomendedly install any free software. The problem will be fixed. All contacts will be updated.
I've got similar issue. Contacts will be synced, but none of the contact pictures... Tried syncing over WiFi and 3G, no affect. Even tried to remove and add pictures to contacts on computer see what happens then... Nothing, contact pics wont be synced...
Make sure your facebook account and windows live account are sync'd.
was having the same problem until i went to settings - email & accounts and sync'd facebook!
is there a manual way to force Facebook to sync with your contacts?
I have had a number of new Facebook friends added so I can link them with my phone contacts and get the pictures etc. It done this the first time but hasnt since.
May try logging out of the Facebook contacts bit and then reenter my credentials to try again
i think a long press on the setting for the FB ...i'm pretty sure this is in the tip n tricks.
or at least on the list of tips on pocket-lint.com
awesome thanks mate!
taking about contacts I have dude , New contacts added to the cellphone how those contact get to the contacts in the email contacts because I made sync twice but the new contact that I added they are not in the account, any body knows how i can sync those new contacts thanks.

[SOLVED] Mango Beta (7712) and Facebook issues?

Lately, I haven't been able to access Facebook on my WP7 device. At first it was just the official Facebook app not being able to pull information telling me that "Your username or password may have expired. Please log out and back in." I deleted my account info from email and accounts and re-entered it, let it sync, and it gave me the same info. I then started using Seesmic which worked for a few days. Now Seesmic is telling me that it can't pull my Facebook feed.
Any one else having these issues?
EDIT: Got it. First I removed and resynced Facebook from email and accounts. I had to go to Facebook and remove Facebook for WP7 from the list of apps that can access my information. Then I had to manually remove Facebook from my phone, reinstall it, and now it works.
same issue

On my mango beta 2 the chat has problems to connect do you have a solution ?

facebook chat can't connect

is anybody experiencing a facebook chat "can't connect" problem? I've done multiple troubleshooting and it isnt' connecting on my rtm unlocked mango hd7
this has been going on for 2 days since yesterday afternoon I believe.
anyone else?
same its happening to my omnia7!!! i cant connect to any chat!. Allrdy try uninstalling the Facebook account and Resynchronizing it again.
then i got from the marketplace the Fim app(facebook chat) and also got connection issues...
all my Chats work fine with wifi but not on 3g! its possible that T-Mobile(my carrier) block those features since it worked nice 1 week ago!
have u found any solution?
thx
yes I have found the solution and I am talking about the integrated facebook chat with your messaging application for your phone, you have to go to windows live on your desk top and remove the facebook integration and delete facebook synched contacts off your phone, you have to reinstall both several times and it will eventually connect.
basically you are going to windowslive.com and removing facebook and then adding it back on again giving windowslive rights to access facebook for chat status updates etc.
and you will also be deleting your synched facebook contacts off your phone and reinstalling them account, in the email accounts settings of your phone.
on windowslive desktop i think when you add facebook back certain prompts like i said earlier will ask you to allow windows live to access facebook chat and other features of facebook, all of this tinkering took several hours, uninstalling and reinstalling from both phone and desktop, don't bother with the actual facebook app or FIM, if you are having problems with FIM i can't help you there, the integrated facebook chat is 10 times better than FIM which is why i was going crazy when it wasn't working
