Does anyone know how I can get all my facebook contacts to sync? A couple roms ago.. Damageless.... I had all my phone facebook contacts. but not the ones I just have on facebook.
Also.. Under accounts & sync.. It wont let me select Facebook... Only facebook for htc sense... Any help is greatly welcomed
open contacts, goto menu, click view, select sync facebook
I have did this and Done it just now just to make sure......When I click On veiw it only gives me google contacts, g mail and phone... No tap for facebook contacts.
I can see im not the one intrested in this.... I'm going to head out for a bit.. I going to figure out how and where to fix this... Other than that This Rom is the ****ing ****.

I wanna sync my facebook then I can have pictures for all of my contacts and I really don't wanna sync all 500+ friends from facebook when I only need like 75. I have search alot and read alot, but what seems to work if anything? How can I sync facebook contacts and gets pictures with only my contacts
atm i think that all that can happen and that's why im back on 1.5 i dont need 600 + contacts on my phone when i normally only need/want 100 or so
3rd party program like: SyncMyPix
When you go into people, you can hit menu, then view and uncheck facebook contacts and then it will only show Google and phone contacts and still have the pictures for them

other apps show all facebook contacts and it's annoying (i.e. messaging contacts dropdown).

that only affects the contacts not the phone screen
i was able to do it by using the contacts i saved in my google account and for some reason they automatically linked. You are also able to manually link them by going into the contact and clicking the link button in the top right corner and selecting the contact from your facebook friends. Hope this is helpful.

How do you link contacts to FB, it seems that some of my contacts are linked and some arnt that once were...Is this a rom issue, because i followed the steps to fix FB sync issue, and some of the contacts do sync. But now i cant even create a new contact and link them to facebook
Thanks In Advance...
I read in the forum here that it was doign that because the autokiller setting were too strick (Sorry Cant remember who said it so cant give credit). So change that to default then click the sync button. I did this and about 4 hours later all my facebook contacts pictures synced. hope that helps
also update facebook in the market
yeah i did the auto killer setting adjustment, but i cant link new contacts with FB...is there another method?
Not sure exactly what you are asking, but I think I know.
You have contact A, and they also have a Facebook account, but they are not linked at all. You want them linked. Open up "People" go to contact "A", then move the slider to the right to the Updates tab, and it should say something along the lines of "Link to a Facebook Profile". Click that, and select the profile.
go into settings and accounts and delete facbook then re-add it.
Exactly ! Thanks it was driving me nuts ... it used to be @ edit contact screen , now its moved , thanks for the info , I can relax now
I had problems early on with not all of my facebook contacts showing up. I deleted the facebook account. Before adding it back I went to applications and scrolled down to facebook for htc sense and cleared the data.
Once last time, I sync my Facebook app with my phone contacts. Then it "mess" up my contacts such as changing for me names of my contacts to what the contact use in Facebook. Because of that, I had nightmare.
I am just curious how many of you do sync your Facebook app with phone contacts? I ask because with all the integration of Google with Facebook and Twitter or even with social media websites, I was wondering to try sync again or not.
Like what's the benefits to sync?
Share your views please.
Thanks!
Someone from androidforums.com commented that:
I do. I found that to solve the problem with Facebook last names, you link the Facebook contact TO your google contact, not the other way around. If you link the Google contact to the facebook contact, it will use the name that's on facebook.
I find it extremely helpful to have my facebook contacts right in my phone. That way, if I need to contact somebody that isn't in my regular phonebook, i can contact them quickly.

While waiting for his reply there, maybe I like to ask here too... how do I link FACEBOOK to GOOGLE? (right?) =D
I want to sync my existing contacts with facebook, but I dont want my facebook friends with phone numbers added to appear in my phonebook how can this be done?
Phone>menu>people>menu>view> untick Facebook
I've done that and I don't see Facebook contacts in People tab. But in dialer I see facebook contacts wich entered their phone number in facebook.
Bump! Isn't there a way to do this. The contacts I don't want to see in my phonebook are very annoying.
I hate it too, and I've tried to find a way to get rid of it myself. No luck so far!
Facebook>settings>Sync Conacts>Existing Contacts
I've done that already. Even desync and sync existing a couple of times and same story again... I hope if there isn't any fix it won't be that way in ICS.
I apologize for the profanities in advance, but I'm really pissed off!
I avoid the facebook app like the plague, because once you turn it on it infects the entire phone. However, yesterday I was group-pressured into to checking something out on fb, so I installed it, and set up my account. I clicked in !!!!!!!!DO NOT SYNC ANYTHING!!!!!!!! only to notice that in about 10 minutes, fb took a big ****ing diarrhea right into my contacts lists.
Now I have around 1000 contacts in my phone, 98% of whom I will never call in my entire life. All contact pictures have been changed from the google image to the fb-image, and whats even more disturbing, is that when I make a call to a person with a facebook account, I see his fb-status or last wall-post in the dialer! WHY?! Why would I want to see this?!
I realize that clicking DO NOT SYNC ANYTHING doesn't matter, because HTC Sense ignores this and syncs everything anyway under "accounts". But I realized this too late and walked straight into the trap like a complete idiot. Now its too late, my phone is infected by the facebook diarrhea, and even if I remove the fb syncing in "Accounts", I have all the contacts left.
My question is, is there any way to remove all contacts, besides those in google, without doing a complete nandroid restore? (Im on stock sense.)
Thanks... Again, sorry for the profanities...
Nevermind me.... I solved it.
LOL you totally raged
I have this problem too!
How can I fix this and remove or hide my facebook contacts?
It should be in settings, accounts. There should be sync options there for all of you're accounts linked to the phone.

Settings/Accounts&Sync/Facebook/
Just uncheck "Sync Contacts", and restart your phone.
Or....
From inside the facebook app
1. Press the menu key (the three dots that no one likes)
2. Select "settings" (the sprocket)
3. All the way at the bottom is an option called "Sync Contacts", select this.
4. Select the option "Remove Facebook Data".
5. Then select "sync" in the upper right-hand corner.
This should remove this facebook info from your contacts list only...
If I helped click the "thanks" button.

Suggestion. Go to contacts. Click CONTACTS tab>settings> "find people you know" uncheck, "suggest contact link" uncheck also
This should solve it.
Also to show only people with phone number select "only with phone numbers" in the above same screen

Thanks for the help but it didn't do anything. As of right now I dont see my contacts from facebook in my address book since i've set the settings on that already but sadly if i go to manually dial a number those same facebook contacts still show up. same with emails. i guess ill just have to log in and out of facebook each time so they stop showing up. its a pain in the butt... i've accidentally text messaged/emailed people i never speak to thanks to this.
Don't use the facebook app and the facebooks friends won't show up. I use the browser to access facebook and its the same thing.
