I have a nexus one and have been trying to sync the contacts in the phonebook since I got it. Some of the contacts got synced because the names are identical, but with lots of them the names are different and I dont want to change them to their facebook names. too serious is there any way i can link phonebook contacts with facebook contacts without giving them the exact names?
I use SyncMyPix from the Market,it syncs your Facebook contacs pics with your contact list.....not sure if does sync their #,give it a try

The HTC contact list is a great way to sync Facebook profile picture with the phonebook's. It even syncs birthdays, but why don't it sync the email addresses and the phone numbers?
It would be great if there's an app to do that so that I don't have to manually enter all those email addresses into my contact list!
a very simple use of the search, or even read the frontpage if xda would show that theres an app that does exactly that.
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.

Yeap worked just like I wanted it to for the most part thanks a lot!
Hi, I just flashed 6.1.1 and I really rely on the fact that my Facebook Contacts can sync with my GMail to create one big list. In the contacts app I see both groups just as I need. However, if I download an app such as GO SMS which replaces the default sms client, the only contacts recognized are that of Gmail and on my SIM card. The facebook contacts will only appear as numbers. Now having over 500 facebook contacts I cannot just add them all thats ridiculous. But, if I go into the default SMS client then the contact appears with name and picture...
Any ideas as to what's wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Hi All
My calendar is currently displaying all the birthdays from FB contacts, but i would also like it to display birthdays of contacts who aren't on FB. Can this be done and if so how?
Thanks

I add in manually the birthdays of the contacts I want. Hit edit and there should a spot for it, or at least a area for notes (put the birthday there) I've only just gotten my Sensation but on my Nexus S and Nexus One there is an entry for birthdays. Sorry if that isn't what you were looking for.

It's been my experience that if you sync with outlook & you have a birthday listed on a contact it'll sync to the calendar too.

Most of my contacts are sync from FB and the calendar displays the birthdays in FB. However i have a few contacts who don't have FB pages and i have entered their birthdays in manually in the people app. My calendar automatically displays the birthdays of my FB contacts but not the birthdays of people without FB that i have manually entered in the people app. I don't have any birthdays in my gmail and i haven't sync to my outlook as that is my work email and have no birthdays on there either. So i want the birthdays i have manually entered in the people app to display in my calendar. Can this be done automatically or do i have to enter each one manually.
Not sure if you have seen my other post, but when i enter birthdays in manually in the people app it doesn't display the correct day. For example if i manually enter 14th July 1965 and save the contact, i then displays 15th July 1965. So it's always a day ahead.

It works for me too. However, if I create the Contact on the phone with birthday included and then sync with Outlook, the contact will be created on Outlook, but w/o the birthday and will thus neither show the birthday on Outlook Calendar nor on the Phone Calendar.
Very strange.

interesting. I guess I should've stated that was when using WM, haven't tried it on Android like that. Good to know. I'll have to test this as well.
when you sync your facebook what does it exactly do.
Does it just copy all your facebook contacts and put them in your phone contacts?
I know email sync does that because I did it and that and my gmail is unorganized so it made a mess on my phone contacts.
also does email sync delete your emails on your computer as well?
Because right now when I delete an email on the phone it is still on gmail.com
anything else I need to know? I have facebook and email sync OFF.
What OS?

When you first run the Facebook app it gives you the option to sync all, sync existing or don't sync. You can change this when you want by opening Facebook and going to settings, sync contacts.
Incidentally, you can also filter your contacts to only show if they have a phone number. This may help if things have got a bit messed up.

so syncing is just copying contacts, nothing else?
It doesn't delete my emails or do anything else?
Facebook only syncs contacts - nothing else.
thanks syncing seems totally useless then.
