I have sync Facebook for HTC sense. So far is good i like having pictures on my contacts. The only thing is when i press phone to call someone it pulls the phone numbers from a long list of facebook friends. I dont want to pocket call anyone that i havent seen in a lot time. I know i can delete my facebook htc account but is there another way? Thanks
Hit the menu button in the contacts list. Then choose display options. You can turn it off there.

How do you set contact pix? Whenever I try it brings up a weird list of contacts... I think associated with my gmail. And there is no way to do it from the contacts list
Phoenix has risen
All I do is go to the contacts, click on the contact I want to edit, press the menu button, then press edit. Once in the edit screen I just press the box with the plus and a silhouette of a person. From there just select and crop the pic and save. Hope this works for you.

I think I know whats going on. Im pretty sure your phone is showing you contacts that are on your sim card. When I selected to show sim card contacts thats all I see too. When I select to show contacts on the phone and gmail then it gives the contact picture option.
I have an annoying bug with the gmail apk.
When I hit the "sync" button to look for new emails (I have autosync turned off) and I have a new mail, the app would show me "Inbox (1)" in the upper left corner, meaning there should be one new email. However, sometimes/often that one new email just won't appear in the emails list. I can see my old mails but the new one just isn't there, altough the (1) is displayed. When I go to my the "All mails" Category instead of the "inbox", I can see it, also when I look it up on the PC.
This happens sometimes more, sometimes less often (last time yesterday), and I have no Idea why so. Sometimes I would get for example 3 new mails, but only 2 are displayed
Anyone else with that problem?
me too facing this
You don't have to "sync" gmail as it uses push. So just check the "sync" option and emails should get pushed to your phone when they are received. Why did you turn that option off?

Do you refer to the "Auto-Sync" option under Accounts & sync? Because I cannot find a "Push" option anywhere...
If you mean that, I deactivated it because it sucks alot of energy as it refreshes all the time in order to fetch your mails. I'd rather just go into the app and check for new mails myself.
And the fact that sometimes I see the mails in my inbox and sometimes I don't (only the number in brackets appears in the upper left corner but no mail) tells me that this is indeed a bug.
How come only 2 people are having this?
That's not how PUSH works

That's not how PUSH works. Resources are NOT used, or used so little to be insignificant when you have GMail set up to Sync. Basically, as long as there are no messages, you will never get a notification, and your phone will not check mail. When a message is sent to you, ONLY THEN will your phone "do something" by displaying the fact that you have a message.
However, if you use HTC's mail function, that's another story. There you have to actually decide how often you want the app to check mail, or do it manually, as you are doing now. So, even if you get no mail, it will still check as often as you have it set up to do so. This uses far more resources.
Again, if you have GMail set up properly, just leave it alone. It will only "do something" when there is mail. Otherwise, nothing.

Thank you for the input, much appreciated. Guess I had the wrong Idea of how Push works. I know people kept saying that it eats battery life like crazy on the iphone back then.
So, is "Auto-Sync on" (Accounts & sync menu) = Push on?
Because I still can't find an entry that says push.
Finally, I still have that bug in gmail....
Anyone know how to stop this from happening? I've played around with the setting in my phone but can't find anyway to get rid of them. I really don't need to be scrolling through hundreds of random-ass G+ contacts to make a phone call lol
go into the People app, hit menu button then choose "contacts to display" or something like that and finally select only the contact sources you wish to see.
Done. Thanks.
So i havn't seen anyone else complaining about this yet but it must drive someone insane or im just way too OCD.
As seen below, when you open the dialer you are presented with Keypad/Recent/Favorites/Contacts, in that order.
When you press on Contacts, Recent is replaced by Groups (i dont like it but ok-whatever), my biggest issue is that Favorites and Contacts swap places, to me this is just insane.
As a side note, for me going from dialer to contacts takes a long time to load, i'd say about 1.5 seconds, i do have a few hundred contacts but this is also the first time ive had this issue.
Thoughts or ideas?
lol, mine never changes.
Hmm, I never noticed until you pointed that out...
It is strange that favorites and contacts swap spots. I never really noticed, because I have a contacts link on one of my home screens and when I am in the dialer I dont bother going in to contacts, I just start typing the name I want.
Strange, but not a problem for me...
I just tried going into my contacts from the dialer and it did seem to pause for a second (I have 474 contacts), but I never really notice a pause going into contacts from the home screen directly.
I actually spent a couple hours the other day weeding out my contacts on Google (via GMal). Contacts I speak to frequently are starred. Anyone else I either start typing their name or directly reply to a text or such. I went to my contacts a few different times since reading this and nothing changed.
Mine changes, just like the OP. I hate it, especially since on Froyo I had a much cleaner dialer. What I miss the most is the ability to have the dialer stay on the screen when I make calls, meaning having the option before to have it show automatic in a call, vs having to open the dialer when actually in a phone call. I have searched everywhere I can find for the option to have the dialer always open when in a call, but cat find that option. Does anyone know how to make the dialer show for every phone call, without having to select it once the call has been started. ? Thanks in advance.

I agree having the dialer remain up is more intuitive to me
Weird issue all.
On my N5, when I open the dialer, my favorites are listed out. The first 15 or so contact in the list, I can long press and move around accordingly to how much I call said person. However, there are some contacts, that I do call quite a bit, on the bottom of the list that I can not move at all. If I long press on them, nothing happens.
I tried removing them and re-adding them to favorites, but it doesn't matter. Any idea why this might be happening?
Anyone at all?
Looks like it's not just me, but everyone. Seems Goog coded the dialer this way.
