Can someone please tell me how to link my facebook or skype photos to cantacts on android 2.3 gingerbread. I have an HTC HD2 with a NAND rom on it.
join the contacts first then edit contact and tap on the foto either facebook or skype and select "use this photo"
Hi Korvinc. The thing is actually how to join the contacts? It easy to change the photo but how do I actually join my contacts with facebook and skype contacts?
Open contact > choose edit from option menu > choose join from the option menu. that's I mean.
Or I actually don't understand what you need.

hey
is there a way to do the same thing on android 2.2.???i have darkstones superram
Have you tried downloading the Facebook for Android by Facebook?
Go to your Settings > Accounts and Sync > Add Facebook account
Sync your contact with existing friends or all friends then that should link them if their email info matches with their contacts in your Google Contacts address book.
Guys i figured it out. On gingerbread just go to the contact u want to link and go to edit, once u in that window hit the menu button again, the link option should pop up aswell as the unlink option.
hey, thanks for this! been trying to figure it out for days.

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 ****.
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.
Just Thought I Could Post This Here Incase Someone Needs Help With Google+...

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.
