Contacts & FB

How do you link contacts to FB, it seems that some of my contacts are linked and some arnt that once were...Is this a rom issue, because i followed the steps to fix FB sync issue, and some of the contacts do sync. But now i cant even create a new contact and link them to facebook
Thanks In Advance...

I read in the forum here that it was doign that because the autokiller setting were too strick (Sorry Cant remember who said it so cant give credit). So change that to default then click the sync button. I did this and about 4 hours later all my facebook contacts pictures synced. hope that helps
also update facebook in the market

yeah i did the auto killer setting adjustment, but i cant link new contacts with FB...is there another method?

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but I think I know.
You have contact A, and they also have a Facebook account, but they are not linked at all. You want them linked. Open up "People" go to contact "A", then move the slider to the right to the Updates tab, and it should say something along the lines of "Link to a Facebook Profile". Click that, and select the profile.

go into settings and accounts and delete facbook then re-add it.

Exactly ! Thanks it was driving me nuts ... it used to be @ edit contact screen , now its moved , thanks for the info , I can relax now

I had problems early on with not all of my facebook contacts showing up. I deleted the facebook account. Before adding it back I went to applications and scrolled down to facebook for htc sense and cleared the data.

[Q] Help! can i added individuals facebook contacts to WP7?

I added my facebook account to my phone, and it has now added all of my faceb ook contacts to my phone. i dont want all of them on my phone. is there a way where i can just select a few or even delete the ones which appear in my 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!

[Q] How do I "bake" Facebook info into my Google Contacts?

I want to "bake" my facebook info that the HTC app has downloaded into my contacts. This means when I access the contacts from Google or I disconnect the Facebook app, I want the Facebook info to still be there.
How do I do this?
Thanks

Does anyone know the answer to this?

I also want to add: I want to combine facebook, twitter and skype users with my google contacts. I have duplicates in file and it is bugging me...

When you sync your phone with Facebook (twitter,ect.) Wait until it is finished. Then goto contacts->soft menu->import/export->let it do its thang. That's hoe I did it! Hope it works guys!!

Did it work

No, unfortunately it hasn't. I can not touch the contacts created with twitter or skype or facebook. How could I merge them?

here's the deal..
If you were on 7661.. you won't get twitter contacts showing up unless you do a hard reset* on your device.
*Twitter feeds for these people will show up without doing a reset, but you won't get them in contacts and they won't show up if you have the "what's new" feed limited to people in your contacts list.
The ones that show up in your contacts will be the people that you are following already at the time you add your twitter account.
Currently you have to delete your twitter account from the phone and re-add it to pick up people you've started following since you added your account to the phone.. (or at least I have to.. they don't show up for me otherwise)

Sorry for the n00b question:"What's a "hard reset"?
I used the Reset button on the phone, I also restored the NoDo backup and went to 7712... is that what you mean, or do I have to format the device?

I found out a way to do it without hard-resetting. Look for the account you're syncing your contacts with (for me gmail). Delete the account from the phone and go to your Contacts settings and filter your contacts to show twitter ones.
Your twitter contacts should now show, re-add your original contact account (gmail again) and sync its contacts and everything should be good from there.
