Why cant we edit facebook contacts, its really annoying. Like if i want to add a phone number to a contact that happens to be tied to facebook its really annoying u cant edit it.
Also I accidentally deleted a contact that was from facebook and cannot get it back in my contacts list, anyone know how to get it back in my contacts list and linked to facebook?
you can try opening facebook.. click menu.. sync options and select none. wait a little bit .. do select all or that other option and should be back!

I'll have to try that if it happens to me again... I ended up just doing a factory reset to get them back.

Can you specify what contacts to sync with in Facebook? Or at least sync only contacts on specific groups that I made in Facebook?
The only solution I know is to make a duplicate make a new conatct of the same person or edit one if you already have it as a google contact then in your contacts press and hold the name of the contact and join them. Although I have some contacts that keep nicknames and some dont but at least theres a way to get numbers and other info to a fb contact.

I've tried that before, and when I go to join, my contact wasn't there for me to choose them.
Press and hold the contact- choose edit- and press the second soft key from left- then join and if you dont see the contact choose show all contacts and join that way. If the contact is not there im not sure.
yeah i've noticed since syncing my fb friends my contacts have been all screwy.

Was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off the Facebook contacts because I don't really talk to the people on facebook. So I am trying to find out a way so that when I am searching my contacts friends from Facebook don't pop up. Should be a simple problem to resolve but couldn't figure it out.
From Home, go Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync > tap Facebook, and you should have an option to disable Contacts Sync
Now, even if you're not syncing contacts, the contacts list will still link the photo of your frinds that are in Facebook. I have yet to find an over all setting to change, but on a individual level, you can go into the contact and change which pohoto to link it to (Facebook vs Google...)
Also, you can go in to your contacts and hit Menu>View and switch off the facebook for mytouch contacts. I turned off my SIM contacts because I have been using Google.
I did everything u posted but Facebook contacts still come up when I try to send a message
I just want my starred contacts back. This FAVs crap gets on my nerves. I want to hit the phone or contacts button and instantly see my call log or my starred contacts. It is truely my ONLY complaint with the phone. I love it as much as my N1 other than that.
Hey folks,
On the cupcake hero, you could get a nice overview of all the contacts you could link from google contacts and the facebook contacts (it was in one of the screens of the people app)
With the 2.1 update, I can't seem to find such an overview... is it available anywhere? I know you can get a notification per contact that it can be linked up, but other than that...
Thanks!
It linked it for me automatically (probably by email). If you want to link/unlink manualy, you have to open a contact in "people" and there will be "link" simbol in the right top corner. Click on it and link any contacts together, including multiple phone contacts.
That I'd discovered too, but there's no more handy list like in 1.5 :/
Bummer.
On my nexus one if u got some one full name as shown exactly as spelled on facebook and u sync contacts it ends up showing pics but on here it did few people and not all? i did it twice removed the account and resynced what could be the issue and in "view" its not checked for facebook for mytouch cause then i have duplicate contacts and ppl i really dont want anywya to link them or something?
It depends on what rom your using, but I'm gonna assume your stock everything. There's a way to sync every contact individually. I believe it goes like those contacts>contact u want to sync> menu button> edit contact> menu button >join or sync. Then you should be able to choose from ur Facebook list.
Hi there, I'm new to android and I installed the Facebook for Android app.
I manually inserted some of my friends into the Contactlist.
I tried to sync my Facebook-friends that are presented into my manually added Contactlist.
When I want to send a textmessage (sms) and search for a contact, I can see my entire facebook friends... But I only want to see my manually added contactlist (with the facebook sync like: photo's, profile, etc)
So my problem:
- Contactlist ok (only my contacts from phonebook)
- Messages not ok (I can see my entire facebook)
Open Facebook, tap the stylized facebook text on the top left corner so you go to the 9 icon grid layout, then tap the Menu softkey, Settings, scroll down, tap Sync Contacts, choose Sync with existing contacts, then OK.

I allready did this, but ALL the facebook contacts are still in "Message"
Try Don't sync, let it clear out your contacts list, then try sync with existing contacts again.
Also, check that you don't have facebook syncing contacts with the Social Hub.

I deleted my fb accound and then I synced with existing contacts...
But in Messages I see all the facebook friends again.
I never opened social hubs, I did it now but I don't have any feeds because I have 0 accounts into feeds...
But on the tab Messages i see the link to messages...
And again same story = All facebook contacts.
I also tried to delete them by KIES. But KIES only shows the right contacts (not the facebook contacts)
Just checked on my own phone and yeah I have the same issue.
Try Add recipient>Groups>My Contacts? Or Favourite all the people you want to text and tap the Favourites tab every time you text maybe?
Sorry that's all I can help you with. Dunno how to completely rid the nonessential contacts from Messages short of exporting the ones you want from Facebook and reimporting via Google or something.
seems to be a bug with Samsungs implementation of FB integration, you can choose to hide facebook only contacts but when messaging it will show your full Contacts list (including facebook) regardless of the selection made in the Contacts menu.
hope samsung sort it out !
Yeah same issue. chose only sync with existing contacts but it still synced all
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Annoying bug, I have a work around!
Any work around?
This is the same issue with mine, I have tried loads of things, it looks like a bug as selecting sync with existing contacts, should just sync existing contacts not 'All' which is what it's doing!
However I have recently started using 'Go SMS' as my default SMS app and when I follow the same process to text someone I don't get the whole of my FB friends now!
Try it see what you think but I prefer GO SMS to the default Samsung SMS app.
