This one is weird...
I have Facebook for Sense setup in the Accounts & Sync settings so that I could get the contacts to sync with the corresponding facebook profiles.
That worked perfectly. All is well there.
The weird thing is that when I go into phone, where it lists all of the contacts above the keypad, ALL of my facebook "friends" are listed even if I don't actually have them entered in my contacts.
So, contacts = just my contacts linked with facebook, but phone-app list = all of my contacts + all of my facebook "friends".
Is there a way to make this NOT happen? I only want my actual contacts (from google) to sync with facebook. I don't want all of my facebook "friends" to load to the phone.
I agree, this facebook sync is a good idea but needs more options.
froyo has more settings for things like this, you can select "don't sync", "sync only with contacts i have on my phone" or "sync all facebook friends", something to those effects anyways.
so wait for the OS to come, or root and flash a rom.
Has anyone been able to get their facebook contacts to link to their gmail contacts?
I had used a app called "SyncMyPix" on my Droid and it grabbed all my facebook contacts and sync'ed them to the matched google contact. The pictures were now part of google contacts and synced back to their "cloud" so my contacts have the picture they were using at that sync time as part of their contact info.
So browsing my contacts on the web, sync'ed down to my Gtab.........I have pictures for my contacts.
You could possibly try just running that app on the Gtab and see if it would work. I would suspect it would. You have to log in to facebook via the app and tell it to sync.

Has anyone found a way to sync contacts's pictures and birthdays from facebook like we used to do on the htc contacts tab ? The roms i was using on my HD2, had the option to link a contact with its facebook profile, and automatically update pictures and stuff.
Anyone ?
install full screen called ID. it has a sync facebook option. that's how i've done it.
Download the Facebook app and set it to sync contacts. Most of them should be joined automatically to your existing contacts where the names are the same, and you can manually join the rest from the menu when you're editing a contact.
Pro tip: join from the entry you want to take precedence for name display purposes.
Allright both are acceptable solutions.
But what if i install another rom ? Do i have to do that again or i will have the photos as soon as i sync my fb and my gmail ?
uhm guys ? noone ?
login to your FB account from the app u downloaded. Go into the options menu and sync FB contacts.
I am using fission 2.4.3 ROM and i like the way it looks and all but is there a way to edit the Facebook syncd contacts like the factory Global contact list settings? it says facebook contact information is no editable on this device... am i missing soemthing? before the root and rom i syncd my contacts and was able to add numbers, emails and drag them onto the home tabs for shortcuts..
Welcome to the CLOUD!
Doesn't seem like such a great idea now does it? LOL
Here is what you do, it will require having or making a Yahoo Mail account but it will solve your problem.
If you use Outlook (like I do) it will be way more complicated but only because you probably want to use Outlook as your master list.
Step One - Go to Yahoo mail and import your facebook contacts into your yahoo mail contacts. (they have a wizard that does this for you) Then export Yahoo Mail Contacts to a CSV file. (This will work for myspace and linkedIn as well!)
Step Two (Google) - Import that CSV file into Google contacts and have your phone sync if it doesn't automatically (sometimes it takes awhile to sync)
Step Three - Look in your phone contacts you will now see dupliacte contacts of all your facebook friends. One will be from Google and the other will be from facebook. Select the facebook contact and JOIN or LINK (depends on your rom) it to the other duplicate.
You will now be able to edit all the fields not filled in by Facebook and a have a single contact for that person. (If you look you will see in the contact which profiles are linked together. You will have one profile for each contact source that has been linked. (one for Google and one for Facebook)
If you have Fission running you need to go into EDIT contact before you will get the JOIN button in the menu.
I have found that it is best to do most of your editing in Google Mail and then syncing anything else (such as outlook) to that (I use Companion Link).
And while it is ok to add contacts into outlook and sync with Gmail it is better to check those contacts for correctness in Gmail.
If they are correct in Gmail they are correct on the phone. And should you ever have to factory wipe data you will be sure to get all your contacts back when you resign into GMail on your phone.
How come when I set facebook to sync only data for contacts I have it does under contacts. But if you tap the phone icon in contacts it brings up all of the facebook contacts. I have even tried unselecting sync data in the settings and in the pull down menu. It is starting to piss me off. The only way to get rid of it is to remove account from settings, then the ones I wanted to sync are.gone with the rest of my 300 facebook contacts I did not want on my phone. Now they are still there under "contacts'

I believe if you disable the full sync in facebook, and uninstall it-it should bring your sync'ed data off of it. Otherwise you could manually delete it within the system. I'd think its not that big of a deal though. Just my opinion.
Cant you just go into Contacts, click the phonebook button and deselect your Facebook account from the list. This would make it so it only shows your phones contacts in the contact list, but everything will still be synced with your facebook account.
You can go into sync under settings and click facbook and uncheck contacts I believe. This will remove facebook contacts from your contacts list. You can also filter the contacts list itself and tell it to only show contacts with phone numbers.
