[Q] A good Birthday app? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm looking for a good Birthday app that not only reminds me of upcoming birthdays, but also lets me send a message to the person.
I really like the clean look of the Birthdays app. A very simple but complete list, showing all the upcoming birthdays from all my contacts (local and Facebook). I also like that it includes the ages if known.
But I also like the messaging functionality of the Facebook Birthday Tile app. Tap a contact's name and you can post a message on their FB wall. It also includes preset messages so you can either pick one of those or write your own.
Is there an app that combines the features of these two apps. The clean but complete list view of Birthdays, with the messaging functionality of FB Birthday Tile (and maybe also incorporates the ability to send a text message in case the person hasn't got a Facebook profile).
Any suggestions?

Windows Live Mobile Messenger contacts problem

windows mobile live messenger is syncing all the email contacts to my PPC contacts and its getting really annoying. I'm sick of scrolling through my contacts and seeing an entry like "Sek_C_girl_69" or some other crap like that.
I go through and delete the ones i don't want and add my friends emails under there appropriate contact info but they still keep appearing.
Anyone know of some tweak i can do that will not display contacts with only an email address?
You can use the builtin filter.
How?
Just as an FYI,
The next beta version will be MUCH improved in this area.
Don't forget, it's NOT a finished product, and doesn't necessarilly look like the final version. Lots of changes are upcoming.
(can't be more specific than this, sorry)

Go to your contacts application; Choose menu -> Filter and select all your categories. This should work.
I only have 'all contacts', 'recently viewed' and 'No categories' to select.
I've got the following options under filter : All contacts, Recently viewed, no categories, family, personal, colleagues, and more...
I guess i just got to put them all in groups, but then i can't select multiple groups like say i want to see Family, Personal, and Colleagues and not WMLM contacts...?
whats really pissing me off about it is in the SPB Diary plug in, it shows a couple picture contacts, then after that its just emails and i have to scroll forever to get to my real contacts.
They call that program a beta? Alpha at most. All the people I know who've tried it appear offline. (Windows XP/Vist versions) Seriously, bugs that big should be gone far before the "B-word" is used to describe the development stage.

Cool idea. I have a few questions..
"You can upload your contacts easily" Meaning I enter the birthdays one by one or it syncs from the contacts on my phone? (I didnt even enter birthdays on my phone manually, they sync from fb.)
Does the app notify me in the notification bar automatically when its a friends birthday? I dont see a screenshot of that.
Why three days weather? Just Wondering.
The APP will notify on the birth day.
You can load your contacts from the contact list of your phone.
If the birthday is 3 days or less, the application will display weather.
I am working to load contacts from Facebook.

[Q] Any note-taking app that can link to Google contact?

There are so many note-taking apps out there and I have tried many of them, but none of them has the feature that I need.
I want a note-taking app to be able to linked directly from my contact list. I want to take note of each transactions made for each of my clients, based on their contacts. There may be more than 1 transaction for each contact so contacts' "Note" field is not sufficient for this task.
Does anyone know of any app that can do this?
How about this particular app?

Thanks for the suggestion, though I would pretty much prefer an app that doesn't change my incoming calls UI, and a longer note (I don't need to see the note when they call, only when I open the app).
I was thinking if there's any app that can be integrated/linked inside contact like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc.

[Q] add avatar to google sms

Hello, frequently I recieved sms from certain companies (google calendar notifications, my home banking, my football club, etc) and these sms came already with name of the sender and they are not in my contact list.
How can I add an image to these contacts?!
I've manually add Google as an contact and put the Google's logo but the avatar doesn't appear in the hangouts.

the messages you are getting are different sms... not like others i guess... like we get for promotional ads... they automatically have name in them.. and you can't see there no so you can't save them... and i guess you just can't apply picture to them..

The way I did it it, for example Google Calendar, added Google Calendar to contacts in gmail using +148368 as the mobile phone number and then changed the photo to one of a calendar (or whatever). Then I followed Google Calendar on G+, I also on the Google Calendar G+ page added that same number (+148368) not sure if you need to do the last step or even if you have to follow on G+ but there was a delay on it changing on hangout so I'm not quite sure if you have to follow. Sometime adding the +1 to the phone number is what works, and sometimes you just need to use the short code, for example US Bank uses a short code of 872265 and I didn't need to add the +1 for that. So for example Twitter, you need to use +140404 and if you already follow Twitter on G+ the avatar will also show up in gmail contacts. The whole think is convoluted but it finally is working for me except Google Voice sent sms.
