Even though i quickly unselect facebook for HTC to sync contacts, it does it anyway.
Am i the only one with this problem ?
I know i can unselect facebook contacts under the people tap, but i want them gone from the dialer.
Yeah it happens to me also. Even when i uncheck it the contacts sync anyways and when i go back to the htc facebook Sync options sometimes it shows its still checked.

There's two ways for the contacts to get there: the integrated facebook for sense & the app in the market. if you want to get rid of the contacts make sure to uncheck the sync & then go to Settings>Applications>Manage & delete the data for Contacts Storage. This will delete all of your contacts on the phone. Then just resync with what you want.
Tried that.. same problem.. still showing in the dialer..
There's no way to get rid of them. I tried everything. The dialer will show all of your facebook contacts that have phone numbers regardless of whether you uncheck the option to display them.
Unchecking that option removes them from showing in your Contacts app, but they will still show in the Dialer app.

I had that same problem but I solved it. I don't remember exactly what I did but try running set-up again and don't sync Facebook for sense or something like that. Don't be such in hurry to finish set-up. Read it carefully before you press anything
I've unsynced them in "accts and sync" as well as in the contacts app I've changed the "view" to only display gmail contacts. but after a reboot they always come back as synced....I HATE HTC SENSE and it's annoying when I am using gmail to send and email, I start typing the email address of a contact and it displays contacts from facebook that I have never emailed in my life also the dialer app shows pics from facebook rather than the default pic that I have for my contacts
guess I'm not the only one with this problem after all

Where did you put your Facebook credentials? The HTC Facebook app or the official Android Market Facebook app?
Tried Both....

Go into those contacts and unlink them. You just tap the little chain link in the upper right. That will get your default pictures back. Also sense keeps all of your most frequently used contacts at the top in the dialer.
I love sense because its way more intuitive than stock gingerbread in regards to your dialer and contacts. For instance in the dialer you type the letters for a contact name and it pulls them up. No scrolling through to find contacts.

I noticed on the 2.1 roms (Fresh and DamageControl). It syncs all your Facebook Contacts, not just the linked ones. I know you can prevent them from showing up in Contacts by adjusting your view settings, but whenever I goto compose a new e-mail or a new text and start typing in a contact, it still polls my Facebook friends and shows them on the dropdown as choices which is kind of annoying. Also for people that are linked it doesn't seem to cares, i.e. for people I have both on my phone and on Facebook it shows them twice on the drop down with the same information. Is this the intentend use or is this a bug and is there anyway to turn this off?
Thanks
this is my most annoying problem with 2.1 thus far. unknown numbers show up as a random person in my facebook, too.
i like the 1.5 way of dealing with facebook.
i think you can go into accounts & sync and unsync FB contacts, although I don't know if that will mess up current contacts or not. i also don't know if current contacts FB pics will never be updated again until manual sync.

The Contacts sync correctly on DamageControl as long as you're looking through the People app like he said because the Facebook option isn't checked under view but when you're composing a new message, be it email or sms, all the Facebook contacts show up. Even when you click "Phone" and scroll past your call history they show up.
Im using the damagecontrol rom and facebook sync isnt working at all. I have zero facebook contacts. Any suggestions?

yea that's what im trying to figure out who to disable
Yes yes yes to the original post. We all know that the Facebook syncing is buggy. But pulling in all the contacts is horrible (Facebook and Gmail contacts). I can't figure out how to only sync My Contacts from GMail either. It pulls on all 500+ and then I can select only view those with a phone number. But syncing only My Contacts was so easy with 1.5. Why would they do away with that? Or am I stupid and overlooking it?

I want that option too and can't find it. I don't want to have to go through my GMail contacts (700 of them) to weed it down to 75
When I was using 2.0b, EVERY SINGLE CALL, not just unknowns, showed as the same person...but with the correct number for the person calling showing under the pic. What was really funny was that I don't actually have the number for the person whose pic was showing, lol!
I've noticed that if the FORMATTING of a number on facebook is different from your Google contact, it will take the facebook formatting over the Google formatting.
i.e. my wife's number on FB is formatted 17045551234 and on Google it's 704-555-1234.
when i view her contact and/or she calls, it shows 17045551234.
i wish we could disable importing the phone numbers or have that fixed
as soon as i unlink her FB it shows up right.
I wanna sync my facebook then I can have pictures for all of my contacts and I really don't wanna sync all 500+ friends from facebook when I only need like 75. I have search alot and read alot, but what seems to work if anything? How can I sync facebook contacts and gets pictures with only my contacts
atm i think that all that can happen and that's why im back on 1.5 i dont need 600 + contacts on my phone when i normally only need/want 100 or so
3rd party program like: SyncMyPix
When you go into people, you can hit menu, then view and uncheck facebook contacts and then it will only show Google and phone contacts and still have the pictures for them

that only affects the contacts not the phone screen
i was able to do it by using the contacts i saved in my google account and for some reason they automatically linked. You are also able to manually link them by going into the contact and clicking the link button in the top right corner and selecting the contact from your facebook friends. Hope this is helpful.

is anyone else having this issue? My FB photos show up just fine under the persons name in the people app, but dont show up in the standard messaging app. stock rom
make sure you sync the facebook that's integrated into the rom and not the one from the app. then you should see the pics in the messaging apps.

you mean the one that comes with touchwiz
Open Contacts, go to Menu > More > Accounts
If facebook isn't listed, then click Add Account and add your facebook. Then make sure it's set up to sync.
Yeah I’ve been working on since I purchased the phone last week and I’ve been having the same issues. I did the contacts > more > account deal to no avail (syncing phone contacts only). The really frustrating part about that is when you open up the facebook contacts group, you see all of your facebook friends with their pictures…so I don’t understand why it won’t sync.
When you are in your contact list pick menu and check display options.
If you have contacts with numbers picked, take check mark off and see if you see them in your contact list now. If you see them now long press on the facebook contact and pick merge, look for the matching contact.
You con only merge from a maximum of 5 sources.
Hope this helps.

exactly, when people call me, there facebook photo shows up. it also shows their info if I actually go into the contacts app. But text messaging? yeah right, the only photos that show up are the contacts where I have manually picked a photo from the album. None from facebook.

thanks, but ive done all these things already. I really dont wanna wipe my handset if its not going to fix it. I would like some feedback from others to see if theres is working correctly or not. I never had this isse with any other android handset. its bugging the **** out of me.
going to bump this thread. i can't seem to sync my facebook contacts from the integrated accounts after flashing my new rom. not sure why, but i get the red error sync circle for it every time i try to sync. tried syncmypix, but the app only fc's...
I've never gotten that to work for my default SMS either. I don't really care for that anymore though, since I use handcent for SMS now anyways.
I had a problem with syncing my actual contact pictures once, but that was fixed by clearing my facebook data and relogging in.
yea, its definitely hit or miss.
so heres what happens for me...twitter contacts photos show up fine in the messaging app. Facebook still only shows from WITHIN contacts. But not in the messaging app.
I took someones recommendation and tried an app called syncmypic thats free from the market. It actually worked pretty good. Heres where it sucks though. I try to keep all of my contacts by first and last name to make it easier for apps to sync with fb and twitter. Well syncmypic syncs alot of data correctly. But some of them, it just cant get right. So it will tag the pictures to the wrong name. So i thought, "okay, no big deal, ill just manually fix em".
After I made all the corrections, the next time it went to sync, it changed everything i did back to what it wanted it to be. So in the interim, I have SOME FB photos for contacts in the messaging app, but they are a few weeks old, because Im scared to let syncmypix sync again and overwrite all the corrections ive made AGAIN. I dont know why I cant get the native messaging app to show FB photos. Ive tried countless roms, Ive tried every way recommended to fix it. Twitter works fine. FB just doesnt show in the messaging app for some reason.
Sucks because I feel like Samsung makes better phones, but HTC Sense phones have the contact sync feature down packed
The only pictures that show up for me with messages is people in my Google Talk list.
I tried something that worked, but its not 100%. First remove your facebook accounts in accounts and sync from both the program and the integrated accounts. Sign into the facebook app, but make sure not to sync contacts. Then go back to integrated accounts and login to facebook and when it asks to sync contacts, deselect "SYNC ALL CONTACTS". This will allow you to manually choose who to sync. When the new screen shows up that lists all of your friends, choose select all and sync. Do the same for twitter. Does this work?

There is an app called syncmypix. It will download your friends' pictures and set them to the appropriate contacts in your phone. All of my contacts have pictures in stock sms and their picture shows on an incoming call too.
EDIT: Didn't see there was a second page with this info. My bad
yea, syncmypix fc's a lot on my rom no matter what i do. it does a good job when it works though.
Hi guys,
My Facebook calendar events, including birthdays, keep getting displayed in my HTC calendar. Is there anyway to stop this?
I have tried the following:
1) Settings - Accounts and Sync - Facebook for HTC Sense - Sync Calendar (unticked)
2) HTC Calendar - Settings - Apply Settings to - untick facebook
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
Try launching the calendar app ; you have an arrow pointing down on the top right corner of the screen. Click on it, untick Facebook. It should do the trick...

That is also my suggestion, too bad I only read it now after I have searched for so long.
Is there anybody who knows how I can get my facebook contact out of the list when I choose telephone. I managed to get them out of my contacts but thats probably a different list...
Thanks!
You mean all your Facebook friends show up in your contacts list? I believe that is something you can fix in the Facebook app settings : you have to set it so that it synsmcs only with your contacts with a phone number. You can also set it to not sync at all, if that suits you better.

I did that and it works when I go to my contacts list. The problem is that when I choose the telephone button there is a different, bigger list and there they all are..
launch the android facebook app then keep hitting the back button until you get to the page where it says notification at the bottom, click the menu button then settings, at the very bottom where it says other settings select that and choose don't sync then close the app. If your facebook contacts still appear on your phone then you have to go to menu>>settings>>Accounts and sync, then delete all facebook accounts. Launch the facebook android app again and re-enter your user ID and password. Do the same for the friend stream widget if you use that. This should erase all facebook contacts from your phone.

hi all,
I read many forums regarding my issues, but none of them helped..
after I installed fb and adding my account in the "phone" dialler (top left icon) all my fb contacts there, even I unchecked sync...
thanks a lot,

Hi,
I had the same problem and I resolved it after a long time of research.
To resolved this problem, you must reset your phone and choose "manual sync" and when you have the opportunity to add your facebook id, you skip this. When you have finished the configuration, launch facebook application and enter your id.
..
hi,
could you tell me step by step?
newbie for android
thanks a lot!
instead of wiping the phone, Go to settings > apps > all apps
Find contact storage and clear data. (This will delete all contacts so make sure they are backed up, Gmail usually does this automatically but make sure)
also, find facebook and clear data for that too..
This will remove all facebook contacts too.
Simply log back into facebook and select dont sync with contacts, And get your normal contacts back from gmail...
worked for me
ace! this is the solution...
although I had to do it again after the fb update.. what a [email protected] btw ...

you could just deactivate the facebook contacts in the contact menue so you dont see them... guess thats the easier way, just tap the top left corner and there you can select it

If you only log to facebook through the browser, then you wouldnt turn the mobile fb app, and it wouldn't sync, right?

especially when you have the app lol
Can you go in the application itself to get rid of the sync feature?
I had a nightmare transferring myillions of gmail contacts from one phone to another only to realise that they had been duplicated soany times I ended up with about 10.000 of them! Eventually afte doing some manual work and using some of the phone's features I ended up with the contacts I need and backed them up in 2 places toake sure....

yes inside the app there is an option to not sync contacts..
but even if i select that, they still sync.. if i delete them, they just resync even if i uncheck it in facebook and settings.
its really pissing me off
