Hello,
When syncing my contact, gmail syncs the "All contacts" category. I used to use the Google Sync thought ActiveSync on my Touch HD: it was nicely using the "My Contacts" category to sync.
How can I have my Hero to sync the "My Contacts" category ?
Regards
try this
open the people app > groups > menu > sync groups and then deselect all contacts.
Thanks a lot that done it
Hi,
The Google sync on the hero syncs with the "All Contacts" list on google contacts. This list includes the email address of pretty much everyone you have ever emailed! I just want it to sync with "My Contacts" which does not inlude all those extra addresses, just people you actually know.
Is this possible?
yes, and is in at least two other threads.....I Know cos i answered there as well!
open people - go to the groups tab - menu - sync groups
untick all contacts
Has anyone figured out how to sync gmail contact groups, instead of all contacts. Right now all of my gmail contacts are syncing, instead of only 'My Contacts'.
Looks like calendar sync with facebook is having a bug.. I can't find the solution anywhere Here is what i did:
1. I tried to add my facebook account to be synced.
2. After it's finish syncing, I saw that all of my friend's birthday are added to "My Calendar" instead of "Facebook" calendar. I have already tried to uncheck all of my calendar except "My Calendar", but all of my friend's birthdays are still there!
3. I removed my facebook account from my account management, all of the facebook contacts are gone, but the birthday events remained in "My Calendar"
4. Added my facebook account to be synced again
5. "My Calendar" now contains duplicate birthdays event
Have anyone met this problem before?? It's a madness to delete 400 event * 2 = 800 (duplicated) manually.... Any solution is appreciated..
I have exactly the same problem. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?
Funny that I can't find anyone complains about this problem..
Turns out this is a feature for Galaxy S' TouchWiz "Contacts" feature. The feature is to automatically add your contact's birthday to the calendar. Tried it out on my friend's HTC Legend, add birthday to the "People" app, nothing is added to the calendar. Since the facebook contacts are coming with birthday info, those birthdays will be added to your calendar as well...
Can't seem to find a workaround yet.. What I did is to clear the Calendar Storage data, which means all of your events saved to your calendar will be erased as well. Another workaround is to always add your own event to your GMail calendar, and hide your "My Calendar"..
Hope they will fix the on froyo..

The work around is to not use the Touchwiz crap and use the facebook app from the market, which has a PROPER contact and calender sync. It gets confusing though because after you install it you now have two facebook providers, one from Samsung and one from Facebook, in your sync setup, and you have to pick the right one.
I really hate the Social Hub BS... I wish it could be uninstalled, all it does is duplicate a bunch of stuff already available in Android, except poorly.
I only use it for phone numbers with facebook and gmail account and I check "Only show contacts with phone number" and for duplicated I went to gmail contact and applied "Find & Merge duplicates".
Maybe you could try:
Turn off facebook calendar sync, sync your calendar with google calendar, go to google calendar on computer and delete it

the birthday is added to "My Calendar", not your "google" account's calendar.. so syncing it won't enable you to delete it from computer..

-_- You can sync birthday with "my calendar" and you can sync "my calendar" to google so birth goes to google calendar !! Facebook > My calendar > Google Calendar then if you delete under Google Calendar the phone will sync.
The sync with android is in the contacts app under "Activities" press add account (only worked for me on JPC)

lol sorry nobbie here how do you sync "my calendar" to google?? do you mean i have to edit the event 1 by 1?
Open my calendar> press menu button> More > Settings > Calendar Sync> Under manage account turn off facebook calendar sync (for the time of deleting everything)
tap on you gmail account check sync calendar > wait for sync then go to google calendar this page https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/render (settings in top right then calendar settings > calendar tab) and delete your default calendar it will not delete it but the events in it
Wait for phone to sync or try Menu > More > refresh
Then you can turn facebook sync back on
Done ^^
Hello All,
I can sync my contacts with my gmail account, but they are synced only with contacts under "My Contacts" list which is the root of all contacts
and if i sorted these gmail contacts to groups like {family, work, etc...) then i can't sync with these groups
so i had to move all contacts from groups to the root list so i can download them to my (HD2, WM6.5)
Do you have any idea or any application to sync and sort my contacts into groups?
Thank you very much in advance
All my contacts are already in My contacts to cant be sure. But try exDialer.. It has exContacts inbuild and i like its grouping functions.. might help you..
