So I added my integrated my Facebook account to my Android phone via Settings->Accounts and sync. Now I expected there to be some interface/method by which my FB contact pictures would be integrated with my phone contacts. But then I didn't find any such interface and found out this whole process was supposed to be automatic. But now after a day of internet access on my phone (wifi), I can see only 2-3 out of about 100 contacts with their FB photos and statuses.
How do I integrate them all?
I'm kind of curious why there isn't an interface to manually link the contacts with their profiles since their are many people with the same first name in my friends list, and how would Android know who's who.
All Android email apps are based on a Web mail and depend on availability of the wireless connection (WiFi or 3/4G).
Is there an app for Android that works like the Outlook on the PC, that allows user having a POP mail account, to keep his Inbox and other folders containing the relevant messages in the Smartphone’s memory, for offline consultation, responses, etc, without need to retrieve them from Google/Yahoo or other Web service provider each time he needs to use them?
When you use the default e-mail app, you should be able to use mail offline. The app has an option the check for e-mail manually. I use it with my microsoft exchange account at work.
Search for a mailprover which support IMAP. Your mail stays at the webserver, but you can view it offline in you mail app.
How do people have their contacts when using multiple Google accounts?
I email people from work using work and personal accounts, depending on the content so I want my contacts available on both
It seems most contact merging apps only address duplicate contacts but not contacts that are present in more than one account.
That is they consolidate multiple contacts into one but they do not "join" the contacts
Presently I have so many contacts and each contact had so many joins that my note 3 suffers when browsing contacts.
I also don't understand why Google and Google plus contacts are separate.
Some of my contacts have the maximum Ten joins and I need more, so clearly in not doing things the way Google intended.
Options: use a third party service to keep multiple accounts in sync, but only sync one to the phone.
Find a utility which can join (not just merge) contacts automatically
Also, my contact pictures keep disappearing. Not all of them, but some.
Can anyone explain how social networking contact syncing works when using the social network syncing versus using something like contacts plus and connecting it to Facebook?
I've been having a hell of a time trying to understand the philosophy behind Android contacts but I've not been able to make sense of how they were actually intended to be used. It seems totally haphazard
