[Q] contacts issue

Ok, so this is driving me absolutely nuts right now...
I have my facebook synced to my contacts and many of my phone numbers I have gotten from my facebook sync. OK so Joe Schmoe shows up IN MY CONTACTS LIST, phone number is there, profile picture is there, everything is great until I go to send Joe a text. I go into my text messages, start typing his name in the top contacts bar and nothing shows up in the drop down menu. Now lets say i get a text or call from Joe, it will not show his name or picture here either, only his phone number.
So I guess I have two options:
Fix this bull**** show everything shows up how it is supposed to
or
Someone wanna give me a way to export all of my facebook contacts into something or merge them with my current list so it works?
A whole other can of worms is the fact that you cannot edit any facebook sync'd contacts in any sort of way and i think this is the root of my problem...

same i want to sync my contacts from facebook keep their info there but then i sign out and poof their gone and i can't keep it that way? -_-;;

How to link a contact to facebook with the people widget

Well, if you look at the third People Widget when you're trying to pick it, you see that the contacts are linked to Facebook. I understand how to do that, but when I do that, it changes their name to their Facebook name, instead of what I have under my Contacts.
For Example, my gf. Her name is *Jessica XXXXX*. In my contacts, I named her Babe. Once, I link her to fb to her contact her name now displays as "Jessica XXXXX*
How can I just link my friends to their facebook's, but still keep the name I gave them in My Contacts?
Thanks for any help!

Don't think you can, or if you can I don't know!

[Q] Duplicate contacts: Whatsapp contact split from the original contact by default

Please help!
I encountered a few problems before I can successfully sync the contacts in whatsapp. But now another problem, the whatsapp contacts was split from the original contact already in the database, ie, the system created duplicate contacts which only contain the mobile no. used for whatsapp.
Thank you!

whatsapp contact refresh
hi,
I hope this will help.
in whatsapp, touch the new message icon on top right hand corner. then touch the menu icon at the bottom of screen. touch the refresh icon.
It will sync the contacts.
as for the duplicates in contacts, i normally delete the ones for whatsapp. as whatsapp will refresh to the original contacts in phone or google account.
good luck.

[Q] Use Facebook contact photo for GMail app sender image?

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, Stock ROM 4.1.2
With the new GMail App it displays the contact photo or a letter in the sender image, unlike a lot of people I like this feature, however I do have an issue. If I have setup the contact to merge my GMail contact with my Facebook contact and then make the Facebook photo the default, the phone shows this picture they call me, however it shows the letter icon in GMail. If I go back into the contact and change the default picture to their GMail contact photo, then both voice and GMail shows the Google contact photo.
Does anyone know how to get the dynamic changing Facebook contact image to work as the sender image in the new GMail app?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Mysterious merging of unrelated contacts???

I've looked online trying to solve this problem, but just can't find anything that describes whats happen to my phone. Pictures, phone numbers and emails from incoming people get added to existing contacts. Example:
Say I have contact: John S. I have his number, his address, and email in the contact.
Later I receive an email from Kimberly K., a business associate who's contact is not in my phone book, but who I have communicated with both by phone and email.
When the email from Kimberly K. comes in, I see a picture of John S. attached. When I check John S's contact in my phone, Kimberly K's email has been added as an additional email. In addition, if I get a call from John S., the picture is correct and the number is correct, but the name displays as Kimberly K? WTF?
This has now happened to several contacts, some have added the email and phone numbers. Also, the names of the mysteriously merged contacts are not even close. When I remove the added information, it always returns. I think that happens either by syncing, or when I receive a contact (email, call, or text) by either of the merging contacts.
What I've done so far:
I have checked my Google contacts on line and they are correct there.
I have disabled contact sync with FB, Viber, WhatsApp, and Yahoo contacts.
Searched like crazy online.
So If my Google contacts online is correct, what is causing the return of the incorrect info when I fix the phone contact?
Would wiping my phone of contacts ensure the sync would bring in the correct list?
Help!
PS, I'm on and LG G2, but I don't think phone brand is the cause.
