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.

Not entirely sure what you are asking, but if you goto your nexus one contacts > Menu button > accounts > add account, you can add facebook in. then afterwards, just make sure there is a checkmark in your facebook account sync settings. This will sync facebook and your nexus one contacts profile pic and all. If your nexus can't figure out which google contacts and which facebook contacts are the same person, you can manually join them under the settings for each contact and the profile pics and info will stay synced forever more.
However, your nexus won't sync this unified contact info or the profile pictures back to Google contacts website. Just for your phones contacts app.

This is what I'm trying to do... where in the settings? There's either "Options", which just changes ringtone and such, or there's the option to Edit the contact. Don't see where to link Gmail contacts with Facebook.
go to the facebook app and add your account and then it will givey ou options to sync or not
I know I'm having this issue... I'm not sure if it beacse there is already a contact icon (this is what android call is) in place and facebook can't over-write a new photo or not. I know you can go an edit the contact and there is a facebook section where you can choose to use the icon/picture there.

It will automatically merge the facebook contacts with matching google contacts. be sure to force a manual sync in case it didn't automatically do it after adding the facebook account.
for the facebook contacts it couldn't figure out which google contact to merge with, goto the contact, click on edit contact, and towards the bottom you should have a join contacts option to pick a contact to merge the info with for future syncs.
Also, if you have already assigned a contact picture, I think that will override the facebook synced one. SO remove any contact pictures you assigned locally.

Thanks, that's the info I needed! I didn't know I had to click menu a second time after I was already in the edit contacts screen.
Edit: I was initially bummed when it started changing the displayed names of my contacts to match the Facebook profiles... but then I realized that it keeps your old name in the contact on the phone as well. So when I start typing Dad, it brings up my dad's name. Nice.

Yeah, It doesn't actually change anything on facebook or google contacts, it just changes the view on your phone and syncs that view with any changes that come from facebook or google contacts. but both address books are still kept separate on their respective servers. Although it would be kind of cool if there was a an option to sync that data and profile pics back to the google contacts server since I use google voice a lot. But that would be a very difficult thing to do and a bug could be catastrophic.

Yeah... I assumed that sync was... adding the information (pic, email, phone number...) to your contact, then that information would be uploaded to google contacts. I guess all the facebook sync does is just creates a "Facebook" section in your main contact card and that information never gets really added to the main portion of that contact card... the fb information is just there for your phone...
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.

This is my case to...
The FB contact is not there when i try to join a phone/google contact with a FB contact
I am having a hard time working this out. When I used my HD2 with Android and Sense, I had an option for linking FB contacts. I have researched this and done much of what has already been suggested. I even use Syncmypix to link contact photos to those of FB.
With my HTC and sense, I could choose to link an FB contact with any contact in my phone book. This makes sense as in some cases, people may not use their real names on FB... I would like a way to personally link them on my Galaxy tab but have NO idea how... On some contacts that are already linked, they have an FB tab when I click edit... but I have NO idea how to link those that are not already linked there is no option when I click on the menu button...
I have FB for Android installed. I do not have all my FB contacts on my phone. Instead, for sync, I chose sync only contacts which are already on my phone. Obviously, some did sync and others did not... I want to manually link them.
Can someone help?
I solved my own question... but with an error showing (but also with the result I needed).
Open contact, Go to the groups tab, look up the contact on the facebook group, click on the part that says joined contacts with the colored green icons... it will then open the phone book contacts for you to link them too.... it does not seem to work the other way round (click on phone contacts then link to FB or social network contacts)...
For me, once I did this, my phone screen went black and the phone vibrated a couple of times and then showed an error msg. Closing the error made the phone exit to the main screen... but the contacts were linked ofter that...weird! But hey, it works...
By installing the latest version of the Facebook by Facebook app and synchronize your phone contacts with your Facebook contacts.

The problem is i have my facebook account linked to my wildfire so all my facebook cantacts emails show up in my contacts list!
Is there anyway i can remove those email addresses from my contact list?
Thank you.
In that case you have to remove the add book link to facebook. If not it will always display the email add from facebook is automatically displayed.

But if i do that wont that also remove the facebook mobile phone numbers too? ...
I didnt really wanna do that. I just wanted away with the email addresses in my contact list!
I'm not on the stock ROM anymore but I seem to remember there being a "Display only contacts with phone numbers" option somewhere. Just have a play around in the settings and I'm sure you'll find it.
For only show numbers in 2.1 Android:
Load people, hit menu, thenview.
As for what you are asking, I've yet to see anything.

I have been facing this very annoying problem that I can't find a solution to. I am using the Jan 13 Energy ROM, and what happens is this: I add my Facebook account and choose not to sync any of my contacts. If I go out of the accounts settings and go back into it, I see that the FB account is syncing. Going into it, all three boxes for selecting different feeds are selected. I uncheck all of them and stop the sync. What I notice then is that my data connection *still* stays active, and contact info for all 900+ of my FB friends is downloaded to my phone.
What a friggin mess. I realize I can hide the FB stuff under the "People" tab, but under "Phone" everything shows up. I don't want any of the FB contact info to show up on my phone.
Is this a known problem? Or just a problem in the Energy ROM? Is there a way to just delete the FB contacts once they are done downloading?
