hello everyone i just want to ask a quick question, my sensation 4g which has s-off is rooted and has android revolution hd 3.6.4 flashed i have logged into facebook and it has synced all my contacts from facebook to my phonebook which i dont want, so what i wanted to know how can i remove all the facebook contacts without having to log out?
Go to people- > settings -> view. Select ONLY Facebook contacts.. Then go and delete them all in people - > options - > delete - > select all
Other method is to go to applications->manage applications->facebook->clear data..
But i think that, other method will erase your account.. I dont know exactly
I hope i helped
Cheers
Or, since you're on 3.6.4, go into contacts, tap menu/view and uncheck Facebook for HTC Sense. That should hide them.
Alternatively, clear Facebook data as above, log back in, and when you open contacts for the first time, tell it to only sync data how you want it to. Either all FB contacts, only the ones in your phone, or none.

I was messing around with my phone trying to get my gmail contacts organized and I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates, so I went to Manage applications and wiped People and Contacts storage and then synced with google again.
Now when I go to People > Groups > Menu
All I see is Add group and Delete group. My Sync groups option is missing... so I can't de-select All Contacts.
Not sure how or why this happened... but I can't for the life of me get the Sync Groups option to come back in the People app.
I'm running Fresh .6 rom and I flashed the Optimized apk's (the ones edited w/ ZipAlign)
Any ideas?
EDIT: I fixed my problem by doing a nandroid restore which took me back to fresh .4 then I flashed fresh .6 again and all is well.. no duplicates in the people app anymore and my sync groups option is back in People > Groups > Menu
Hi there,
After finally getting the Android Stock Contacts app on my Desire, I'm finally able to use the "Sync Group" option to only show one group (let's call it "cormie) in the phone book. This is all fine, I have ticked off all other groups and only "cormie" is ticked on. It displays the "cormie" contacts and the contacts on the SIM (I can delete them off it later I guess) but the main objective is to just use the "cormie" contacts and nothing else.
However, when I go to add a new contact and save it, when I sync it to Gmail, the new entry doesn't show up in "cormie" but only in "all contacts" and once the contact is saved on the phone, it doesn't appear in the phone book because I'm only showing "cormie" contacts and it's not there To see the entry I have to go back in and to show all contacts, then I see it.
This puts a great hindrance on the purpose of the Sync Group option. The guy in post 10 here seems to have got it going, but as you can see in my reply, post 11, it's not saving to the desired group for me!
I'd really appreciate if anyone has a solution for this and could explain how to get it working properly. Or is there an alternative contacts program that will do it? Also, if anyone knows how to not display SIM contacts in the phonebook please share too
Any feedback appreciated at all!
Brilliant! I think I got a workaround
When I first started using the phone after rooting it, I selected "contacts" to be the default for all the options and it actually turns out that the Sense "people" app allows you to save a contact to a group even though it doesn't allow you to "sync groups", choosing which groups you want to sync only, so I needed to get the "people" app to be the default for adding contacts.
What I had to do was go to the main menu > settings > applications > manage applications > scroll down to contacts > and press "clear defaults"
This clears "contacts" as being the default for all the phonebook related actions. If you go back to the home screen and click "phone" you can set "contacts" as the default for this, but then when you go to add a new contact in contacts, it will ask what app you want to add a contact with, click set as default and click the "people" app. Now all "add to contact" actions will be carried out using "people" app, here you can select the group you wish to save it to and then it will show up perfectly in the "contacts" "contacts" menu and will be synched correctly to the chosen group on Gmail!
I think, after 18 days of buying it, I'm finally ready to put my normal sim card in the phone and start using it as a phone! Finally!
I realize this is WAY later than the original post, but have any of you found a solution to not being able to add a new contact to the group you want to add it to? I'm using an HTC Hero (cdma) that I Froyoed with aospmod 2.2.1, so I cannot use the htc "people" app - at least I read that. Sorting by groups is mucho importante to me and I find the default contacts app built into aospmod lacking in this area.
Thanks if you even reply to this!
So, this is my dilemma.
1. I have a SIM Card. It has contacts on it. Android automatically recognizes them.
2. I have my contacts saved to Google. Android also automatically recognizes them.
If I go to enter in a name to send a text, it brings a pull-down menu, with duplicates of everyone. One is for SIM, and one is for Google Contacts.
The Contact list IS slow with Google instead of it being saved directly to my phone. I want to save them directly to my phone. If I do so, the "send a text to" list triples, so each name appears three times.
The contact list, I can exclude everything but phone contacts. Is this something I can do in Messaging? Should I give up on Messaging and its many issues and move to Handcent and deal with its own issues?
I check before I go to bed and it is bumped off the main page?? Where are the people who can help at XDA anymore? It seems every topic I post gets pushed away
So... anyone?

Why don't you just go to your contacts page from Gmail on your PC, sort them all out how you want them and then let them automatically sync to your phone?

this is the easiest method!
Go into your contacts, for every contact that has a duplicate, do this:
1. Press Menu Button and select "Edit Contact"
2. When in the edit contact area, press the menu button again
3. Select "Join" and pick the associated duplicate contact.
This worked great for me with all my duplicate Facebook and Google contacts.
Hope that helps.
I accidentally regged the same account in both Facebook and 'FB for Sense" (it felt logical at the time, but I have a secondary acc for work). Is it possible to replace one of the two accounts with the correct one, without losing the now synced contacts? They are now part of my merged contacts and I don't want it to touch them, if possible.
I'm actually asking two different things, but so closely related that I figured I'd only post a single thread.
1. Can I have two separate FB accounts on the phone?
2. Can I replace one currently active account, without losing the synced contacts? Losing only the "connection info" linked to the old FB account isn't a problem, as long as I don't lose the actual person from my contacts.
As a follow-up on Q2, if that is possible, which FB-app should I use to replace the acc, FB or 'FB for Sense'? Will either of them affect my contacts less?
Seriously, nobody knows?
I can understand nobody really having the need for several FB accounts, but not so much that nobody actually knows if it's possible or not, or which (if any) of the two standard clients would be best to use to setup the secondary account.
I'm struggling to get ONE facebook account to work and sync properly.
I only have about 20 phone contacts, close friends and family, but I have about 300 facebook friends.
Every time I try adding my facebook account, all 300 of my facebook friends appear when I press the PHONE button to make a call.
Is there any way of linking my 20 phone contacts to their facebook accounts, without all the other fb friends appearing in the phonebook?

there are two ways to do it. first would be to go under your contacts, hit the menu button on your phone, view and uncheck everything that links to facebook.. another way is go to your facebook app, go to main page by clicking the back button once, then hit the menu button on your phone, settings and go to the bottom where it says other settings facebook sync contacts and select "remove facebook data anc hit ok.

Neither of those work, they either leave loads of FB contacts in the phonebook, or remove all the facebook data including the links to my phone contacts.
I just want the 20 people in my phonebook to be linked to their facebook profiles.
In previous android phones I could easily disable contacts sync to Gmail, leaving them only on phone.
But now in Nexus 5 I don't see such option to remove check in "contacts" check box.
Everything syncs by default.
Maybe it's now hidden somewhere else?
Or google did remove this option?

It's there - stock 4.4 rom. Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Manage Accounts - and find your gmail account, tap it and sub-menu open, you can uncheck contacts, photo, drive, music, etc. (same is my older HTC running Gingerbread)

Thank You for your tip
Oddly I didn't find option to turn it off there, but I did find it here in Nexus 5:
Settings -> Storage -> Apps -> Google Contacts Sync disable this application to prevent synching People with Google Contacts.
Problem solved
