cannot sync my facebook, twitter to my contact

I added my facebook and twitter account in settings->account and sync
and processed an synchronization in success (the sync icon is in green color)
In Contact, display option , I uncheck "only contacts with phones",
but my facebook and twitter contacts don't show up in my Contact , so I cannot link up with my phone contacts.

try this for Facebook
Go to Contact -> Submenu -> Get Friends -> (you should see your facebook account here, else add yours), tap on the account and select your friends.
PS: if this is your time time doing it, the application may ask you if you want to sync selected or all contact to your phone.
Let me know if this help.
PPS: if this works for your FB, you can use it for Twitter.

If this is working fine, you should see your FB friend's birthday on your calendar too. Enjoy

this also would put their picture in contact or how can i associate facebook profile picture with contact in phone?

use link contact

there are contacts from facebook, but no picture, so I was thinking that there is a setting that takes little info, or takes birthdays, tel. numbers, pictures.

in my case, picture, birthday, email, tel are all available in my FB contact.
Is it possible your friend didn't upload photo in their FB?

I have a similar problem.
If I go Contacts>SubMenus>Get Friends I cannot choose Facebook. My Facebook choice is greyed out so if I click it, nothing happens! Any idea?

I found that its much easier to use the Facebook and twitter from the Market than the Sync's on the phone.
Just download both Twitter and Facebook from the Market and then sync those in Accounts&Sync.
Simply don't use the default ones on the Galaxy

another FB sync under "More accounts" comes with Facebook for Android, remove that

[Q] removing T-Mobile sync

Anyone know how to remove the T-Mobile Sync option? When ever I add a new contact it adds it to T-Mobile sync and not to google.

You are talking about two different things:
1. saving new contacts to t-mobile account is default, you cannot change that. But before you save your contact you can choose from a pull down menu to save it in your google account. Next time you add another contact it defaults to t-mobile again. It sucks and is the only things that really bothers me.
2.syncing with t-mobile account...your t-mobile contacts are synced with the t-mobile server....you can stop the syncing by going to the account and sync menu. you can stop the syncing but you cannot remove the t-mobile account completely.

ahh I was hoping to uninstall it but that will do... thank you!

as am i, hopefully someone finds the service or .apk name for that because if someone who rooted the phone and wants to use it on a diff carrier doesnt need that sync account in there.

###As usual backup all your data and I'm in no way responsible if you brick your phone. It shouldn't because I just finished this on mine and it works fine.###
Now I found a way and just did it on my MT4G. Grab root explorer or similar if you don't have it. Open it and use the search for "nab" anything that comes up I.E. that says tmobile.nabservice blah blah blah. There was like 4-5 files for me one zip, obex, and a few others delete em all then your done. The Tmobile sync account is gone and the default contact save is the first account you set up for in sync.

How do you know it automatically saves it to your "tmobile" account? because i have auto sync unchecked for tmobile, and when i go into the settings for my contacts i have everything unchecked except google contacts...but under tmobile contacts it says ZERO

This is true regardless of if you have T-Mobile syncing or not (I have mine disabled 'cause who the heck needs T-Mobile contacts?)
I posted in the thread that led me here, but I wanted to ask Keldarr or anyone who has done the removal of all-things-Nab - does Phone show up as the default Contact Type? Instead of deleting anything to do with Nab, I just froze the NabService via Titanium...
This gets T-Mobile out of the list of Contact Types, but now Phone is the default - not the Google account I wish to be the default. I wanted to see if those who have deleted all traces of Nab, have Phone as a Contact Type and if it is the default.

How strange, in my case it saves by default to my Google account every time I create a new contact. Check your display settings.

Slow reply sorry for me my default contact save is the first gmail account i added. not sure what it would be if u didn't have a sync account besides t-mobiles sync but id assume it would be phone until u add a google account.

[Q] Anyway to change the default account to save contacts under? [Stock Rom]

I know it can be changed individually after each time, but I'd rather it go directly to Google and skip TMO setting.

That probably means you still have T-Mobile contacts linked to some of your Google ones. Try this:
1) On the web, make sure ALL your contacts are in your Google.com contacts.
2) On your phone, make sure sync with T-Mobile is UNCHECKED and that ONLY Google sync IS checked.
3) Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and choose the Running tab.
4) Scroll and choose Contacts Storage.
5) Select Clear Data - WARNING- THIS WILL ERASE ALL CONTACTS DATA FROM YOUR PHONE. DON'T WORRY. IT WILL SYNC BACK.
6) Go into Contacts. Hit Menu/View. Make sure that T-mobile (and any other accounts you don't want to display) is UNCHECKED.
7) Go back to Accounts & Sync and make sure Google is syncing ant that T-Mobile remains deselected.
You should be good to go when it comes to Google being the default contact entry. If you had contacts linked with Facebook, Twitter or otherwise, you will have to now let those sync and auto-link again. It's worth the trouble, though. Good luck.

No problemo. I feel your pain. The HTC Phone and Contacts app are counter-intuitive.

Worked for me. Make sure your T-Mobile contacts are empty. Try clearing defaults in contacts before clearing data in contact storage. Dunno otherwise.

I first only deactivated the t-mobile account but left the others active (secondary google account, Qik, etc). It didn't work. I deactivated then the syncing for everythingexcept my main google account. Then it worked.

need help w/contacts

alright, I've searched and can't find a solution... hopefully one of you guys can help.
I've got a MT4G running 2.3.4, Virtuous Unity v2.39.0 and for some reason, my contacts are out of control... I've got my SIM contacts, phone, exchange, gmail, and facebook, and they all link correctly, etc... but on the ones that I've had on previous devices, or have been there when I've synced, they don't skip or replace them, they just keep piling up... like, 38 entries per contact, with the same number... if I go in and manually remove the #'s, hit save, and re-open it, there are 37 blank fields for "phone" w/the one saved entry... is there any way to either save one per contact, delete all of them, and start over? this is a pain in the ass...

There are 2 ways to do this either go to your gmail account online and open contacts and delete all the duplicate contacts and log out from your phone g mail and re log in and your set
The other way is the phone will tell u that u have duplicate contacts and if you want to sync them together

they're all linked together, say if I go to "MULTISTATE TRANS" there is only one entry in my contacts, but when I open THE contact, there are 38 entries w/the same phone number, and if I type in "MU-" to send a text/call the entire predictive list all says "MULTISTATE TRANS"

Google contacts has a built In contact finder

Thanks... I tried that app, it deleted contacts that weren't duplicates... I ended up exporting all contacts to my SD, uploading the vcards to my gmail on my computer, then used it to sort and delete the dupes... Then I saved it as a new vcard, erased allllllll contacts, then imported... Pain in the ass, but it was the only thing that worked...

I hope you emailed the developer of the app and told him about the problems you had with it. Sorry it didn't work out. I'm glad you got it fixed, and thanks for lettimg us know what worked.

I haven't yet, but I'll be sure to email them. By the time all of the vcard's had uploaded to gmail and such, there were 5800+ contacts on there, and when I got rid of allllllll of the duplicates, I took it down to about 300 actual contacts. I still have no idea why/how it kept importing the existing vcard's from the SD/SIM/phone or w/e, but it was crazy.

Google Sync issues

Is anyone having Google Sync issues today?

Is it a bad gapps?

Gmail doesn't sync in the background. Same thing with Calendar and all Google apps. I have auto-sync enabled for all accounts. Sync enabled for the gmail account. I have to manually open Gmail and sync. It's getting very annoying. I want to delete my Google account and re-add it, but can't figure out how to do it. There is no way to delete the primary Google account on stock. There is no Menu on the Google account
Edit: Found it! It's not on the Google Account page. From the Google Account screen, I had to press the Sync screen. That screen has a menu from where I could delete the account. Now let's see if it helps.
Edit2: So I deleted the Google Account, deleted the data in Gmail, all the syncs, Google Play Services etc. Shutdown the phone. Went to Google Accounts on the web and removed access for the G2 on the web. Then restarted the phone. Added my account again. No Luck. Sync still doesn't work in the background
