Hangouts questions - General Questions and Answers

I am using hangouts strictly for sms, is there a way to get rid of the stupid suggestions list?
Also is there a way to sync Facebook contact photos with it, they're sunbed already to my Gmail account.

I found it annoying initially too, what I had done was this. I hopped onto Google plus and disabled suggestions. With that I also found it annoying to have circles in my SMS contacts too so I just hid them.
Another thing you could do is logout from your g+ account on hangouts.

Delete just phone contacts.

Hi guys, I took the time this past weekend to reallu clean and sort my contacts on gmail. Now it works greay, but I still have an issue as there are lots of contacts that still have unknown and phone contacts joined to them, so when i try to join some twitter or fb contact I can't because of the 5 contacts joined limit.
How can I easily remove al conravts from the phone.
The ideal case would be just google contacts with their twitter and fb joined...
Thanks!

Facebook Contact Sync

Hello, just got my NS4G today and thought I had a good plan to overcome the lack of Facebook contact sync. Plan A - Friendcaster Pro and Plan B - Facebook Sync. Well, both have worked mostly. I get alot of contacts and pictures, but missing many. I don't think its due to the the friends having blocked 3rd Party Apps sharing their information. Because on my Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1 32GB wifi, with the newest Touchwiz update, I get all my contacts using Friendcaster. But Samsung also now has provided a FB sync with Touchwiz so perhaps it is filling in the gaps?
Regardless, if 1 app can sync the contacts so should another. So that rules out some friends with different settings. Anyone run into this? I know Facebook sync is an island in itself on the Nexus. But I am pondering of anyone has found a non root solution? I have all MAC so I don't have an easy way to root.
Thoughts?

OK, I realized the contacts synched... at least more than I thought. However I'm having to link alot of Gmail contacts to Facebook counterparts than normal.
I also have 1 contact that just won't find the FB counterpart.
Are there any apps to smart join Gmail and Facebook entries? It got alot of them with friendcaster pro. Just need last mile.

[Q] unread count using Gmail app

When i pull up my Gmail app in which i have 2 accounts...it gives me an incorrect number alot of times of how many new emails i have in there. Its not just emails i have missed way down the list either. i can log onto my account from a computer and they will be right there. its like when i delete them from the app it takes them off the list but doesnt always really delete them.
Is there a way i can fix this? or do you guys recommend the stock "email" app vs the "Gmail" app?
both accounts are Google based.
Thanks.

Try resetting your gmail app by wiping its data.

Stop android twitter apps from accessing phone contacts or syncing them.

Hi, i would like to make two accounts for twitter. One for business and the other for personal and have them separate from one another, is that allowed?
Also i just made a personal account on my android phone using the official twitter app. My problem is that twitter accessed my phone contacts and it showed me my personal and business contacts on twitter, which i can not have it do. If it shows me both types of people business and personal, because i have their phone numbers stored then when someone in my address book signs up to twitter and syncs with contacts both my business and personal accounts will show up too. I do not want this to happen.
Is there a solution for me to not show up on other peoples twitter accounts using the synced contacts feature available on Android apps?

[Q] Contact Linking?

Coming from a HTC One X+ with Sense 5, contacts are linked to Facebook/Twitter etc which is really useful and a feature I really miss with pure Android.
So, in light of this I have two questions:
Can it be done with stock Android without a 3rd party app?
If not, is there a better solution than Contacts+? Whilst this app is ok, it's not as refined as I'd like.
Still love the phone though, by far the best I've had! If I can solve this contact linking issue then I'll be happy as Larry!
I use HaxSync for syncing Facebook contacts
For Facebook, I use the sync contacts option from Friendcaster. I don't actually use the app otherwise.
Thanks guys, do either of these apps change anything in the contacts? I.e. Can you see Facebook statuses and things when you go into a contact or does it just keep the profile photo synced?
