Hi!
Yes this is for real
I have ONE of my contacts (what i think is) Skype NUMBER, not her name just the number and i have 26 of them. Non of them are editable or erasable.
When i'm trying to text her i just get this number to text to. I can't add a picture to it, i can't remove it i can't do nothing to it... What has happened?
I'm getting crazy here, please help
I think that might help:
- go to your list of contacts
- press Menu button, then choose View
- uncheck Facebook contacts to be visible on your contact list
Let know if it helped.
Yes, now I don't have see the number in my contacts. But, when texting the contact still gives me this number and no contact pic.

I don't have stock rom on my Sensation right now but I'm guessing that you need to unsync Facebook contacts.
Try to go to Settings, then Accounts & Sync, find Facebook account, then uncheck Sync contacts (or in more extreme way - delete Facebook account from your mobile). I hope this will help you this time.

Hi, I did remove this contact of mine, restarted the device and added a new post for this contact and now is everything back to normal.
Thank you for the idea.

As title.
I can't seems to get the latest facebook profile pic for my contacts listed in the People application.
I tried clear the cache for People and Facebook for HTC Sense in the application settings but to no avail.
I am able to get their latest contact number and facebook status message.
Is there a way to manually update the picture?
Please advise.
I have the same problem.
The only solution I found is that I delete the account "Facebook for HTC Sence" and I re added it. This way I force the Sense to synchronize itself with the latest pictures.
Thanks, it works, though the sync take quite a while.
just go into the gallery, switch to Facebook and then update after pressing menu
Only problem I got is that MY pic is not really syncing..
I use an app called syncmypix

Thanks for more suggestion
What may help, before syncing your contacts with HTC Sense Facebook, ensure that "People --> View --> Only contacts with phone numbers" is unchecked!!!
For some reason, when syncing contacts, this option comes into play.
Cheers,
Charles

Go to All Apps> People> Menu> View. You can choose which contacts show.
Also, within the facebook app, once you sign in, hit the menu key and go to settings. I thing theres a setting for contacts there also.
Thanks for the response but it didn't work

You can go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All> Scroll down to Contacts storage, tap it once and select clear data. This will clear all of you contacts, so back them up first if you want to keep them for later use.
try settings>accounts & sync> fb> uncheck sync. then next time you log in on fb app click don't sync or only sync existing
All right so heres the deal:
With my Fascinate and Droid 1, I was able to sync up the contacts I WANTED to (manually) with Facebook, and the rest wouldn't show up in my address book. Well, HTC Sense has the account you link up, and it matched people automatically, cool, I'm fine with that. However, it dumped EVERYONE that was on my fb into my address book, not cool. So I went in, hid the fb people, no biggie, thought it was done with.
Not so. When I go to compose a text or email, it still shows me EVERYONE on fb who has a # on there, which I DON'T want. Is there any way to manually link the people I DO want, but not have it link EVERYONE ???? I've unchecked link people from the account settings, but as soon as I link one person manually, it dumps all the #'s on there. Its rather frustrating....any help or ideas would be appreciated, thanks.
when you first install fb it asks you if you wants contact sync for all contacts our only ones on your phone.. mightve picked the wrong one.

That's for Facebook app syncing, which is different.
I'm talking about Facebook for Sense syncing.
But that option does the same thing to my contact list, dumps my #s in there

Try going into people/view/ and un-check facebook for sense.
Did that. Removes them from People view, but composing a new text displays all my fb contacts who have their numbers on there. It's really annoying.....

What all has the green swirliest under accounts & sync?

go into people-menu-view and pick the contacts you want to view or just manually sync the people you want by clicking the contact and picking them on facebook. thats what i did.
I'm feel he has it set to sync with ALL contacts, not sync with existing contacts.
@leoingle: ????
@albotz: I just tried deleting the HTC fb account. I readded it. It automagically started syncing ALL the contacts to the phone book. If you uncheck the sync contacts button, it just goes and resyncs them anyway.
If they aren't in your address book, try composing a message, and then you will see ALL your contacts, yours + the people with a phone number listed on fb, from the available contacts you can choose to send a text to.
@g00s3y: I'm not an idiot, I assure you its set to sync with existing, but after I try to manually sync a contact, it just syncs EVERYONE. I go back to check the app, and its mysteriously changed itself to "sync all contacts"
Don't use Facebook for HTC then, use the Facebook app, which is available off market. The apps do virtually the same thing
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.

same question here.
i have disabled facebook syncing from accounts (after linking my contacts) but still the pictures get updated once they are changed on facebook
remove the Facebook account from "Settings > Accounts & Sync" ?
Yes, remove facebook accounts from accounts and sync then restart phone. Check your contacts again if it still has the facebook photos of your contacts. You can add the facebook to your sync account after the problem corrects itself.
What I did is some work but I went manually into each contact that Facebook changed and choose "edit". Touch the picture on the top left corner and choose the Google account for picture source then save changes. I'm sure it changed all of Facebook contacts but I cared about only 6, who are in my Favorites...

The phone replaces Google contact pictures with Facebook ones when you make a certain change in "People". It also replaces Phone pictures with Google or Facebook ones. I'm not sure it does this when ANY change is made to People, or just a certain one (like changing an unrelated contact picture).
It's an annoying bug… I doubt it can be fixed properly :\
Thanks for your replies, deleting the Facebook account in Account & Sync doesnt work as when u run Facebook it asks you for your login info & then just recreates the account...Changing the pictures manually back to google photos works until a resync happens then they get replaced with google ones again...

This method works... as I had the same problem, the only problem is it takes time, if you have lots of contacts.
