When using this app to show FB contacts on android contact list, the full international numbers are shown from FB by default, but does not contain the '+' plus sign in front of that international number.
Therefore when calling a number, as a FB contact, it will show "61 412 123 123" (which is an invalid number).. it need to show "+61 412 123 123"
Has anyone else see this issue?

I have encountered this issue and it was really irritating, but I just had it on a few contacts so I 'separated' them, then added the number with a '+' in the phone contacts and then joined it with the facebook contact.
But I really want a fix for this issue!
The same issue here, Nexus S stock ROM.
yep i think the issue is in the facebook app coz i also have a Desire and its the same issue...
This issue exists for a long time. And there is no any fixes from facebook yet. We all are waiting together to get it fixed.

Can anyone suggest an app that automatically match Address book contacts with that of Facebook and sync's data such as Status Updates, Birthdays, Events and Profile (high-res) pic.
An added feature could be adding Birthdays and Events directly to the Google Calender.

I have a Facebook and a twitter account, among others, added in "my accounts" and Facebook is the default source for pictures (this works fine).
I have several friends who have Facebook and twitter accounts, some of whom were already in my phone. I know the easy way to deal with this is to link the contacts, but the problem I have is this: if I link a twitter contact and a Facebook contact, the entry in my contact list shows the twitter name instead of the Facebook and/or already listed in my contacts with their name, number, and e-mail.. This seems odd since most of the time people's real names are on Facebook, or at least much more so than twitter. Even more odd is that the picture associated with the contact is still the Facebook picture since I set Facebook as the picture source.
This does not occur with all of my contacts that I try to sync with Twitter either, it's only a select few.
Example:
Google Sync Name: John Doe
Facebook Name: John Doe
Twitter Name: johndoe
Is there any way I can change the order of precedence so that contacts display facebook names?
P.S. I hate the way syncing has been done with the Droid X. I don't want all of my Facebook contacts in my Dialers contact list.
You and I are in the same boat with this frustration. I just removed my twitter and facebook from" my accounts" and just installed the official twitter and facebook apps.

Yea, it's pretty frustrating. I see no pattern either of why it chooses to do this to some contacts and not others.
ok i have all my contacts linked to my Gmail account so i can transfer from phone to phone...it's been successful going from the BB 8900 to the HTC Tilt 2 and finally to the HTC Aria. 90% of them are contacts that are linked to my facebook account...ie friends contact pictures changes as they update their facebook profile pic.
but what i've recognized having this benefit is that when fwding or composing email in the Gmail app...it pulls the email address and phone number of everyone in my facebook friends list. folks i don't care to or ever will contact, that are not in my Gmail contact list. this makes for even a longer list of names to scroll through..especially using common letters as A or C..etc.
is there a way to turn to this off? i mean only have the Gmail email app pull contacts from ONLY my gmail contact list/those contacts listed on my phone only.
Also interested if there is a working solution to this, for similar annoyance.
Contacts: I loved the sense contacts (People) app. I liked that I can assign a facebook account for each contact. I used it for getting my contacts' facebook profile pic as their display pic. worked fairly simple and if a user updates his profile facebook pic, his/her contact pic is also changed. I didn't use the other functions of Sense's facebook integration though. The status updates was poorly implemented and displays "this person has updated their facebook profile" for whatever that friend does on facebook.
Now with vanilla , the sync with all contacts that the official facebook app offers doesn't work as I want, cause:
- I have some facebook friends that I don't want them as contacts in my phone. facebook will always sync the contact if he/she has a phone number in their profile. Which, for some friends, I don't want.
- If the same person has different names in facebook and in my contacts list, I won't get his picture.
So, is their a way to fix this sync issue?
Or, can I get the sense Dailer/People app in vanilla?
Or, Is there a good alternative in the market?
Under the contacts menu of the streak everything is fine, but if I use another app or widget that access' my contacts, such as facebook sync or picture dial, I have multiple entries for each person, none of which are what is shown in my actual contacts list. For example someone has their phone number, email and picture (synced from facebook) in my actual contacts list, but in the program theres 3 versions, one with email and picture, one with just email and one with phone and email. It means when i try and use picture dial I cant select one that all the info it needs.
I also noticed that in the actual contacts list it doesnt seem to matter what sync options i set or what sub group im currently supposed to be looking at, it always shows the same contacts. For instance it won't show my gmail contacts even if i tell it to. It doesn't bother me, but I don't know if the two issues are related.
Any ideas anyone? Is there anyway to bulk get rid of all contacts? Then i could just get my computer to sync all the contacts back on again, though I'd have to go through and link them to facebook again so I'd rather not if i can avoid it.
Any help appreciated!
All of my Facebook contacts get imported & properly linked with my phone but one. I logged out of the Facebook app and even went as far manually deleting the contact from my telephone (I thought it may be a linking issue). Still, for some odd reason, the Facebook contact will not get imported into the telephone. I removed the Facebook account multiple times and have not had any luck. Any ideas?
Add that contact manually and link it to facebook
How would I go about doing that. I remember trying to edit the contact and linking them to Facebook (and I did not see any corresponding field that would let me do that).
Also, the individual sent me a PM on Facebook. I got the alert in the notification bar. When I tried reading the messages we had sent to each other back and fourth, the individual appeared as 'Facebook User.' I can see all my Facebook contacts through the Facebook app, including them. I deleted the contact. Will try adding them again. In hopes that the issue will be resolved... Keep in mind I have over 100+ Facebook friends and this is the ONLY person I am having issues with.
I have deleted them from all of my Google Contacts etc. So far, their name is just added as a contact in my phone. That's all...
Anyone? Ideas?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't do that because they don't even appear in the Facebook subgroup of contacts although I SEE them as a contact through the Facebook app.
Same problem here with a couple of contacts.
