Is there any contacts app that is like the HTC Sense contacts app, that will sync everything together under one contact.

I'm looking for that too... I want to find an app or some way to be able to put all the contact details that show from facebook and all other contacts linked, in to my google contact......
Any luck finding it?
I would also be interested in this.
When i restored my contacts using mybackup pro they all restored as google contacts as well as phone contacts, so then i just deleted all of my phone cntcts using a contact deleter app from the market.
Google contacts all the way!
The google contacts have the phone and facebook info combined so photo birthday and all that.

How are you guys syncing your contacts with their facebook profile photos?
I thought android did this out of the box? I'm running 2.1 build 8105 and when I go to accounts and sync in settings and tap add account, then facebook it does nothing... I am logged into facebook for android but nothing from there. Also I installed facebook sync from the market but that's not working either.

You gotta Terry to context the contracts yourself. Once you connect everything it will get updated automatically.

yes i also would love to know how to sync the contact with facebook contact.. like other android devices do.
Press the facebook widget till it turns red, then press menu and choose widget options. You can sync your fb contacts from there.

Another option is Google Facebook Sync. Instead of copying your contacts from Facebook to Gmail this takes the pictures from Facebook and matches them up with your Gmail contacts.

it add the FB contact into the contact of my device, but still not merge and there's no picture synced
Search the market for an app called "sync my pics", it matches your contacts with facebook profiles and adds the pictures for you. You can even uninstall it once it's done.

Ok I have a gmail user linked to a Facebook user. I didn't have this user in gmail so I created a shell (just the name). When linked the gmail user with the Facebook user I see one contact with cell pic act in my contact list. Great... but when if go to Google the contact still only has a name and noting else.
So, my question is how do I sync Facebook info with gmail?
Thank

Are you asking about exporting Facebook Friend contact data and importing that to a Google contact? Using your phone? I really don't think you can. Facebook Contacts friends details are not able to be exported, at least not using HTC contacts or MMS. The HTC people app is not designed to function like that, by populating one account with data from another account. It would be nice if it did have sine sort of sending out contact details. You could send contact data as a vcard to your gmail address and import using the website. But Facebook details don't populate to the vcard. I would like to be able to import more details into my Google contacts, but using my phones phone books other account types is not the way to go.

First let me say thanks for the response. And yes I wanted to sync the info in my phone (from Facebook) with my Google contacts. That makes me a little sad since it appears that Facebook and this phone work great together.
Well maybe one day.
Thanks again,

Hello.
I have been using cm7 and loving it. Only thing I miss from original Tom is how facebook was tied together with Facebook and would provide updates and show recent picture.
Is there a way to have this on cm7?

No. One of the trade offs
Install Facebook from Market and turn on contact sync for existing contacts. Make sure the contacts on your phone have an email address to match with an email address listed in Facebook.
Thanks. Also I have seen Facebook picture sync apps are they any good?

I tried doing that, downloading Facebook and hoping it would sync everything but it didn't.
So I downloaded an app called 'Contapps' and through the settings you can sync your contacts with your Facebook account, and if theres contacts that don't automatically sync, you can do it manually.
facebook app will aloso sync if the names match exactly. I have mine all set like that and they sync just fine.
Mine seem to be syncing. They all show up as being linked under the contact, but for some contacts their picture doesn't show even though it is linked. Any ideas? And also is there a way to make it so those facebook pics don't show up so blurry in the caller id?
just upgrade to google plus and kiss Facebook Bye Bye.
If you need to see what person look like prior to calling them, you don't know them well enough.
Just edit the contact, and if they're already linked to their Facebook account, click the Facebook photo and choose to "Use this photo."
I noticed that some of my contacts have their Facebook pictures associated with their info and there is a little Facebook icon on the contact.
Where are those contacts coming from? Is it pulling the contacts from my Gmail account and if an email address matches one of my Facebook friends it links them?
I'm just really confused. Also if I edit my Gmail contacts on my computer how do I get them to update on my phone? I deleted hundreds of "junk" contacts and they're still on the phone.
The facebook pics are pulled from facebook when the person has their number listed and u have the same number as a contact. To get rid of the junk contacts make sure every contact u need is synced to gmail then delete all ur contacts and resync from gmail.

In contacts, click the icon in the upper left that looks like 3 people and disable your facebook contacts from showing in the contacts screen.

Do you have all of your contacts linked with your gmail account ? If so I'd try removing all the contacts you have in your phone now and then re-import them by synchronizing your google contacts into your phone.

try it... bcause sync present issues
How are they mis-linked? is it google contact details or is it facebook/twitter contacts mixed up with google ones?
If it's the latter, you could go to accounts settings, remove the various facebook/twitter sync accounts. Sync, then add those accounts back again and wait for the suggested links to be presented and see how it goes.
