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.
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.
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

Does not work for the SMS part. Facebook contacts still appear in quickfinder.
It is a nuisance. I don't use fb, but when I went to log my wife in, it transfered all of her contacts!! Yuk! Had to erase them all...

I F'in HATE this!! Facebook get out of my life!!
i still cant get them off my phone,, I have wipe all contacts, all facebook, all people apps i have deactivated autosync. selected DO NOT SYNC CONTATCS.
re activated autosync. They just re appear.
i fking hate this ****. i have about 100,000,000,000,000,000,000(approx) contacts in my phone..
If you only log to facebook through the browser, then you wouldnt turn the mobile fb app, and it wouldn't sync, right?
Thank god I don't have a facebook page!
sent using HTC1S
its a ball ache using the browser tho
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
I apologize for the profanities in advance, but I'm really pissed off!
I avoid the facebook app like the plague, because once you turn it on it infects the entire phone. However, yesterday I was group-pressured into to checking something out on fb, so I installed it, and set up my account. I clicked in !!!!!!!!DO NOT SYNC ANYTHING!!!!!!!! only to notice that in about 10 minutes, fb took a big ****ing diarrhea right into my contacts lists.
Now I have around 1000 contacts in my phone, 98% of whom I will never call in my entire life. All contact pictures have been changed from the google image to the fb-image, and whats even more disturbing, is that when I make a call to a person with a facebook account, I see his fb-status or last wall-post in the dialer! WHY?! Why would I want to see this?!
I realize that clicking DO NOT SYNC ANYTHING doesn't matter, because HTC Sense ignores this and syncs everything anyway under "accounts". But I realized this too late and walked straight into the trap like a complete idiot. Now its too late, my phone is infected by the facebook diarrhea, and even if I remove the fb syncing in "Accounts", I have all the contacts left.
My question is, is there any way to remove all contacts, besides those in google, without doing a complete nandroid restore? (Im on stock sense.)
Thanks... Again, sorry for the profanities...
Nevermind me.... I solved it.
LOL you totally raged
I have this problem too!
How can I fix this and remove or hide my facebook contacts?
It should be in settings, accounts. There should be sync options there for all of you're accounts linked to the phone.

Settings/Accounts&Sync/Facebook/
Just uncheck "Sync Contacts", and restart your phone.
Or....
From inside the facebook app
1. Press the menu key (the three dots that no one likes)
2. Select "settings" (the sprocket)
3. All the way at the bottom is an option called "Sync Contacts", select this.
4. Select the option "Remove Facebook Data".
5. Then select "sync" in the upper right-hand corner.
This should remove this facebook info from your contacts list only...
If I helped click the "thanks" button.

Suggestion. Go to contacts. Click CONTACTS tab>settings> "find people you know" uncheck, "suggest contact link" uncheck also
This should solve it.
Also to show only people with phone number select "only with phone numbers" in the above same screen

Thanks for the help but it didn't do anything. As of right now I dont see my contacts from facebook in my address book since i've set the settings on that already but sadly if i go to manually dial a number those same facebook contacts still show up. same with emails. i guess ill just have to log in and out of facebook each time so they stop showing up. its a pain in the butt... i've accidentally text messaged/emailed people i never speak to thanks to this.
Don't use the facebook app and the facebooks friends won't show up. I use the browser to access facebook and its the same thing.
I'm running a stock, non-rooted GS3. My contact icons are weeks out of sync with profile pictures and I can't get new contacts that are saved to display the picture. I went to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Facebook, and forced a sync a few times in the past 24 hours but it won't update anyone. How can I correct/update this? Thank you!
Go into your contacts on the phone and open the contacts you want to sync with your Facebook and make sure that they are linked via Facebook... If it is google only seems that for some reason it doesn't always update the photo....

Both Google and Facebook are set. Those settings are correct, I just can't figure out why the profile/contact pictures are weeks out of sync with some new contacts not even syncing at all.

Thats the glory of the Facebook app for Android.... It functions when it wants too..... Hopefully they are actually working on it.... There are other apps on the market for FB that allow better syncing with FB
Not a true "fix", but corrected it by clearing the cache from the app + all data from Settings > Applications, deleted it from Play then re-installed it. Again, not a fix, but resolves the issue in about 5 minutes.
