It always takes some time before new twitter contacts show up in the people hub. Even forcing an update in the email and account settings won't make them show up.

Assuming that you've given it a bit of time to update (although mine tends to go pretty quickly), have you tried clicking on "Choose a Contact"? They will be listed under the name they have on Twitter which may or may not match their real name (it probably doesn't or it likely would have picked it up automatically).

hi thanks for the help. can't seem to find them with the choose a contact button. ie guy's name is andy s***, his google contact details show up fine, but can't find his twitter details at all. synchronizing twitter doesn't seem to help. i must be doing something wrong somewhere, just can't work out exactly what!
All I get from Twitter is the contact's picture on my Samsung Focus.
I don't see information from Twitter on my Samsung Focus.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. Try to unfollow them on twitter, give it just a bit of time and then refollow them. Also double-check their name on twitter and see if his tweets show up in your people hub.

I don't think you can add them individually, but if you go to settings/applications/people you can limit it to just have facebook contacts for the people already in your contact list. It'll still show updates for all your facebook contacts tho.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense....I'm not great at explaining these things!
Thanks, thats exactly what i wanted all done!
No probs, glad it worked!
Now, back to Zune backgrounds!
oh, ive just noticed that people who write their names differently on facebook wont appear on my phone. anyone else have this problem? for example, if you have a "john smith" in your contacts, and if on facebook hes called himself john "smyth" on facebook, then WP7 wont be able to add the FB contact "john smyth" to the WP7 contact. anyone else have this problem?
Yep, I had that as well. I've a friend in my contact list called Jim but his facebook name is James. What I did was link the contacts together before I switched to just having facebook contacts that were already in my contact list.
Again, sorry if this doesn't make much sense!
Yeah, I was going to say you can link them manually - probably the way to go!
I have the facebook app installed on my phone. When i went to upload a photo onto facebook it gave me the option to use the facebook app or facebook for mytouch. i went ahead and tried it through the mytouch option and i signed into my account which seemed to add my facebook account onto my phone as something it automatically syncs. it synced my facebook contacts to my normally contact...a cool feature and all BUT i dont want it...
i deleted the facebook account off my phone but my facebook contacts are still mixed with my normal ones. i cant delete them either, i tried long pressing and also tried going INTO the contact to maybe edit it and it wont let you do a thing.
any advice?
Were the contacts linked with facebook accounts?

You may want to sort you contacts, from the contacts > Menu> View and uncheck facebook. It won't delete them but you won't have to deal with them.
Also try clearing the data in the Facebook for MT app, not sure if it will do it but it should't hurt.

They were these were contacts that i've never had in my phone before then they appeared on my actual contacts. Some did/didn't have contact numbers depending if they had them in their actual facebook and what i'm noticing is they all have the little circle by their name greyed out meaning i can video chat with them. I deleted all my video chat programs and cleared all my data for contacts/facebook/video chat and they wont go away.
These people have never been on my phone before it happened right when i tried out the facebook for mytouch.
*i wouldnt mind this but i play a lot of farmville and "those" games and half the people on my friends list are "neighbors" only*

Sadly i'm not rooted and therefore can't post a screen shot...unless theres another route you can advice me on then definitely. Maybe ill just take a photo of it with my camera if there is no other way lol.
After clearing all my info again and uninstalling any qik updates it shows qik in the corner of all these contacts, none of them are linked, and about half have actual content info.
From the contact list - long press - call mobile, send contact as vcard, add a fave now!
From within the contact - clicked on the menu button - all, link, send contact, save to sim, set speed dial
From within the contact - tried pressing every item i could and i can only "Edit" the number to something else...i cant do much else with it.
thanks for the help =)

Sorry man, I tried everything I could to recreate this on my phone with no go.....
Make sure to check your contacts on the gmail site, make sure they are not listed there.
If that does not work it looks like you will need to do a factory reset. Sorry

I was afraid of that...
I went ahead and rooted my phone, deleted qik completely off my system. That took care of it. Hope this doesnt happen to anyone else =/
Thanks for your advice though, i'm surprised it didnt work. It was extremely "stuck" and quite stubborn.
After two weeks with my Focus, I'm obviously loving it. Upgrading from the Tilt has brought new meaning to my life.
Anyway, I've had enough little problems come up that I thought I'd try and get some questions answered by those smarter than I!
Integrated Facebook: Ever since the first day, I've been having issues with my Facebook account. Specifically, under Settings>email & accounts, the Facebook account says "Attention Required." Clicking on the account brings up an error popup that says "Not updated/We're having a problem connecting. Try again later./Last tried 8 hours ago/Error code: 83CF3104." Previously it gave error code "85FB5300." Here's a useless thread I started at MS Answers: http://social.answers.microsoft.com...266a6d0/#53db5744-b48c-4af8-bad5-9fe0fe95f61c It does manage to update FB from time to time, but it's wildly inconsistent.
This isn't that big a deal, but when I go to Facebook.com and login using IE on the phone, I get the "pocket version" which doesn't have any content. "Mobile version" shows up as a link on the page, but nothing is clickable. No biggie since I have the app and integration, just annoying.
IHeartRadio seems to lockup every time I use it. When I navigate away from it and then want to go back, it tries to start, shows the logo, then backs out.
My second most unstable app is Marketplace itself! It behaves exactly the same as above.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
EDIT: Adding #5: Everyone says that I should be able to see an icon to find people on my exchange server, but I haven't been able to ever find it. I create a new email from my Outlook account, then click the "To" field to bring up my address book, but there is no link to my exchange directory. Am I doing something wrong?
do you have ssl enabled in facebook settings? if so, try disabling it.

I don't have an option for SSL in the Facebook account settings on the phone. Is that what you're asking?

I get "search exchange directory" buttons both in email and the people hub. In email, start typing the name of the person you're looking for, and the last entry in the list you get will be the exchange directory. Similarily, using search in the people hub will have exchange as the last possible button.

No... if you have the SSL option enabled on your Facebook account, not on your phone, the people hub will not update.
Seems to be an issue with the Focus as other WP7 users have not seen this issue,
I've looked every where I can in the phone and cannot see where the settings are that control the Facebook feed.
Log into Facebook via your web browser and disable the SSL setting under your security options.
For anyone still suffering this problem, I found a solution:
SOLUTION (from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...83cf0108/4c4c7887-2b8b-4a83-b816-bf26e265fe17)
I went through my People Hub, opening every contact that had no picture to see what account they were in. Most of them were contacts from my Live account, but ONE was a Facebook contact. (Per the thread above, Facebook connection problems can be caused by a friends' corrupt profile picture.) I went to her profile online (where the picture showed up fine) and unfriended her. I had to wait several hours for her to disappear from my People Hub, but once she did I immediately went to Settings>Email & Accounts and, for the first time ever, saw the Facebook account with no error message!
As I said, I have been suffering this error message since day 1, although I've seen at least 4 distinct error codes (85FB4400, 85FB5300, 83CF3104, 83CF0108). I tried deleting and restoring the Facebook account, deleting and restoring the Facebook app, changing my Facebook password, logging out of Facebook on my PC, all to no avail. I never performed a factory reset, because I've installed all of my apps from the Marketplace (not Zune), and was not eager to hunt them all down again (please tell me this is another WP7 bug that is being fixed).
Hope this helps others! I've refreinded her and she's changed her profile pic in the last few weeks, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I had the problem with facebook too a few months back. Turned out to be one profile picture that appeared as a red x. Unfriended and the error went away for me too.
Yeah, re-adding her as a friend and the problem is back. Hoping she changes her pic soon.

I was fortunate in that i didn't really care for the guy who i deleted
It tells me it can't connect to see who's online. I've gone through all the different walkthroughs online, and none of them work.
Also, I can't seem to delete my linked Facebook account in Settings. It tells me this feature isn't available yet so I have to go to Live.com to do it, but when I do, it tells me I can't remove it because: There seems to be some trouble connecting this service to Windows Live right now. Please try again later..
Can anybody help? I swear I was allowed to delete my Facebook account in Settings last night...
"Delete Facebook?
This feature is not working yet. You can go to the Windows Live site on your computer and remove Facebook from your Windows Live account if you want to delete it"
This is what it says when I hold down my Facebook account and tap delete.

How long has it been since you added Facebook chat to your Windows Live profile?
If its only been a few hours, you may have to wait a day or two. Sometimes it can take a very long time for Windows Live and Facebook to register each other and for your Facebook contacts to start showing up in Messenger. The other methods on the forum do not always work. Sometimes it just takes a little patience. Took my phone a day before any contacts showed up.
It took me like 5 mins to have all Facebook Contact List on my Windows Live Messenger.
Do one of the methods, wait 24 hours, and then report back. Most of the focus should be on the computer end. But I think the reason why many here are jaded about this is because many of us had to wait for it to just work. Which had nothing to do with the phone.
But then if it doesn't work, you may be SOL until the official update.
Nah, still not working. Pretty gutted about that really!
what I did was I deleted Facebook then went to windows live ( the same primary windows live account on my phone) and linked the two of them, then I readded Facebook and let it sync and also resynched windows live and then it connected and within 2 hours all my contacts started showing up. also make sure u have Facebook chat turned on in the messaging options.

Did you check in your online profile to make sure you linked the correct Face Book account? I too had a simulay problem with my daughters phone seems i linked my facebook account to her windows live so it did not work on the phone..
this is how you can tell
first login to your windows live @ live.com then click profile next to your name at top right then the details link on left then in the connect to you should see windows live and facebook if you do not see this then it facebook never connected and you should follow the steps again to connect facebook if you do see facebook click the manage link then click the edit link under facebook make sure the name that shows that you are connected to is the same as the one on your phone if it is not then you need to delete the facebook account from your profile next login into the correct facebook account then do the adding of the facebook account again and after you complete it and see your friends in the online and off line area of messenger you can go to your phone and resync facebook and windows live then in messenger tap offline then tap online it should be good then...
thing to note is the facebook account on windows live must match the one on your phone.
Mine kept saying it couldn't find anyone online even tho me Live account and Facebook were connected, but I managed to fix it.
I'm not sure if this was this trick but..:
1) Go to your Live account
2) Go to services
3) Go to the Facebook service
4) Just hit Save, even if you havent changed anything (also make sure the Chat is ticked).
5) Sync your Live account and Facebook on your phone
Everything was already ticked in my settings, but I just hit Save anyway and seconds later my Facebook Chat contacts started appearing.
Maybe somethings is improperly saved, and by just clicking the Save button again the settings are properly saved.
Do this:
Install Windows Live Essential, Log on WIndows Live Messenger
On the Bottom Right Corner of the Messenger Window, click Add and follow the step to connect Facebook for Live.
Log Out after you are done and then re log -in again.
You should be able to see the friendlist in a group called " Facebook" ( Must set show all friend, not "Online Only" )
Right click on a friend in Facebook group, and choose "Enable Facebook Chat"
Right now, you should see your Facebook friendlist on Windows Phone Chat.

Are you familiar with occam's razor m8 ??? "the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one."...
If all ppl have solve this by following those instruction, then you MUST do something wrong...
Follow the guides to the letter starting from blanc and not with " oh i id that and its not working' attitude....
just go to your Settings-Battery Saver, and UNCHECK 2 boxes :
always turn on Battery Saver when Battery is low,
turn on Battery Saver now, until next charge.
If you have unchecked both of them, you can connect to your Facebook Chat from messaging without any problem
Just sharing this as I couldn't find any solution anywhere:
I could not get my S8 to sync some of my contacts from my Google account no matter what I tried. I have 500+ contacts, whereas only 460 synced to my device.
To troubleshoot i did the following:
1) I added the contact manually on my phone. I found that this creates a duplicate at contacts.google.com and on other devices.
2) I figured that these contacts should have something in common that makes the phone refuse to receieve them. And i found it:
All contacts that refused to sync with the S8 had a Google+ profile URL attached to them within the contact info.
Deleting the url (http://www.google.com/profiles/12345678901234567890) from the contact info resulted in instant synchronization with the phone!
Went on and did this manually with all my contacts.
This is obviously a bug in the Samsung S8 and S8+ contacts/account sync software. If this helped, or if you have another solution, I'd be happy to hear about it! (Also, thanks button)

I've done some more testing, and I just found that adding someone in Google+ adds their profile URL to contact info every time. Removing the URL doesn't remove the contact from Google+.
If a contact gets a URL, they are removed from the phone instantaneous. Removing the URL returns the contact to the phone.
I suspect the Samsung contact software is in dire need of an update supporting Google+ profile URL.
PROTIP: Search for "Profile" in the search bar on contacts.google.com to filter all contacts with G+ URL attached to them.
Thanks for info, I didn't notice that but I have checked and apparently this bug is still present in the latest Oreo beta.
