HELP!! My Facebook will Sync with my Contacts "BUT" the contacts only show a small green symbol beside them labeled "Unknown". I've seen other phones that display the actual facebook symbol. After going thru all the Sync settings I'm really lost. I need this Sync for other apps such as caller id to display the proper pic. Any suggestions???? I deleted and re-installed Facebook with no luck...
I use Mobile Shell as my interface. It'll pull pics from Facebook.

This is NOT just an LG problem as I read others have the same issue with different brands of phones.
I noticed that when I add a new contact if I do not drop down the tiny part at the top and pick Phone/SIM/Google it will default to phone. That means it does NOT sync with Google. I also can NOT go back and change the contact on the phone to be SIM or Google. Part of the purpose of having this phone is for it's ability to sync with Google.
Is there a setting to set it to default save your contact with Google and NOT phone?
*This is important because if you load up new contacts they will NOT sync with Google, so if you lose your phone then you lose your data. Part of what makes Android cool is your data is sync to your Google account so you are always up to date even if your phone is lost or broken.
I do NOT have this option to set.
I found this BUT that option is NOT there for 2.2 LG Official---see bold item
right now i have Google contacts syncing to my phone. weird thing is, when i log into gmail and look under contacts, there isnt any listed. where does google get list from? I thought logging into gmail and clicking contacts would show me a list of names, but it doesnt. I dont get it.
First:
You need to make sure you enter a new contact by saving to Google.
Contacts that are on your "phone" will not transfer to Google automatically.
You can change your default save location by:
Open contacts
Press menu touch key (key on left side of your phone)
Press MORE
Press SETTINGS
Change: Save new Contacts from: Always Ask to GOOGLE
In Google it saves your contacts under the "My Contacts" tag.
Let me know if you need any other help with this.
p.s.:
If you want your contacts on Google and your phone, the easiest way is to enter them through gmail then let sync push them to your phone. Your phone (should) join the duplicates since they will have the same names and telephone #.
anyone??? hellooooo
anyone here??
Does anything know why your sync facebook contract image don't show up in your text messages image or when someone calls you? ONly shows up when you go to contacts?
Mine shows correctly everywhere.
Hi guys,
I was wondering if this is normal?? I make a change to a contact on my phone, after the sync completes, it reverts back to the way the contact is on my Gmail on the web. I make the same change again on the phone and then gmail on the web reflects the change I made on the phone. It seems like web gmail is taking priority over the phone. I thought its supposed to sync no matter where I make a change??
For example I have a contact on my phone and gmail on the web with a phone# of 555-1212. I change this person's # on the phone to show 555-2222. After a sync, the phone reverts back to what gmail on the web shows. I then change it again on the phone and sync. Only after the second sync do changes on the phone reflect on the web.
Thanks
Somehow I lost all my contacts today. No big deal, I don't talk to THAT many people and can just get their numbers again. However, I decided to sync my facebook contacts. I noticed something weird. With the contacts that were imported using Facebook, when I go to text that number I cannot search for the name. It will not auto populate in the "Name" box of the text message. Numbers that I manually add to my contact list work just fine. Also, my contacts are not keeping their Facebook profile picture in text messages. In the call log its fine. Anyone experience this?
1. You shoulda synced them over google contacts...
2. Delete/wipe cache of facebook and reinstall it, see if that works (reboot inbetween)
I have 4.1.1-based ROM and using the default people app to view contacts. It seems skype/whatsapp decided to display their ugly head into my google contacts thus when trying to call people, some numbers are displayed twice.
example:
-----------------------------------------------------------
like I have an entry for a friend's mobile on google contacts and they also decided to put in their mobile number in skype. Thus the numbers appears twice on the stock contact app and stock phone dialer.. and I don't want this. How do I restrict Android (I suppose this is system-wide?) to retrict contact info to only those coming from google contacts.
-------------------------------------
I have set "contacts to display" to just my personal gmail account but whatsapp/skype info is still displayed. :/
thanks
ps. tried searching the net but not really sure what keywords to use and came back blank
Im running CM10 on 4.1.1, I like to just sync my contacts to Google, you can manage it from your PC very easily should you happen to have double ups you can easily delete them all with a few mouse clicks
Press your settings key in contacts, contacts to display, choose Google and sync them from home screen->settings->accounts, never loose them again. I found I lost a few contacts here and there with Titanium over time so I just use Google.
You might want to click import/export from contacts-settings to get any numbers you might be missing from your SIM card.
I don't leave sync on permanently just remember to do it once a week as I'm quite a jew when it comes to battery life.
