hi!
i want to sync facebook accounts only with people on my phone app. but, when i active sync (facebook app / for htc sense) it just add alot of people i dont want in my phone book! i chossed to sync only with existing contacts. the facebook names are in English and contacts name are in Hebrew. so i want to go each contact and link it to his facebook account. now it will add alot to my phone book i cant even delete....
some1 have this problem? how i fix it? i had this problem with all roms! (and i used alot! from 1.32 base and up to kingdom base)
If you press menu, and look for "View" or "Display options", in Settings I think, you'll see that you can change which contacts you want to view. Facebook, Phone, SIM, Google. If you deselect Facebook, it takes all those contacts away, leaving you with the rest, which will still be attached to Facebook.

I had to copy all my contacts from my sim then facebook would sync photos and info across gradually
Thanks 2 of you, but i have display only on people application. im talking about phone application.
and my contacts are on google. and i can sync the contacts (manually), but there are atill more contacts i dont want to see there....
What do you mean by phone application? Your phone app gets your contacts from the People app, straight and simple. Please elaborate

Why on my G1 could I select to only see those Google contact who are in "My Contacts" but on the MTS I can only select all of my Google contacts which is like over 900 people.
I only have my Google contacts selected. I have no other contacts checked. I tried the whole facebook thing, but it was just too much with the contacts!
I think the whole linking thing is ridiculous. Just give me my Goolge My Contacts and we can call it good!
Anyone know how to deal with this or if this feature will be added back in the update?
hit menu in the contacts app, view, put it to show only contacts with numbers
it's not the same as being able to use My Contacts because that way you get phone contacts and email contacts, but I can live with it cuz the MTS is so much better than the G1
We're running into the same problem here. My wife just got the Slide yesterday, and I put her contacts from her old Blackberry into a Contact Group on her Gmail account. In the standard Contacts app, you can choose which Google contacts groups to display...hopefully can figure out something similar here.
Google didn't automatically sync when I first started my phone. I had to log into gmail first from the phone. once i did that, then google contacts were there but they still didn't show. Like turboyo said, just go into contacts and hit menu. It will show a bunch of different options on which contacts to display such as phone, sim, google, facebook, and tmobile. For me, I only have it set to display google and facebook contacts.

goodjob - yep, see that too. I'm looking for the ability to select individual Google contact groups to display (like on the G1 and N1, for example).
Does anyone else's Contacts icon keep changing? When I first got the phone, it was Contacts. Then sometime earlier in the week, it was People at one point. Now it says Contacts again...
For people who keep saying to just select Google in the contacts section... this is not what this post is about. On my G1, I could go into Google contacts and select specific contact groups such as My Contacts so it didn't show ALL of my Google contacts. I don't want to just select people who have phone numbers because I email a lot on my phone and it's nice to have the contacts I want to see!
Anyway... I can live with it, but I think it's a step backward in terms of the contacts interface.

We do understand that. And I guess to answer your question, it isn't an option anymore. However, this just seems to be because of the Sense UI having a different contacts interface. Hopefully either 2.2 changes that, or rooting will give us this option back because I also liked selecting the groups.
I know there must be a setting for this but for the life of me I don't seem to be able to find it. I had to wipe my phone and flash it again today. Now when I go to make a call, it is not just showing my contacts that I sync with my pc but it is also showing my facebook contacts. Keep in mind this is in the phone app and not in the people app. How can I stop this from happening? I am on the fresh 2.1.2 rom.
In the address book, click menu, then view.
Assuming that you have your facebook contacts syncs checked, go to menu, settings, accounts and sync, and uncheck facebook sync. You should be good to go.
Dave I still see my facebook contacts in the phone app how about you OP?

Try removing the facebook account altogether in manage account section (within the account and sync settings). That worked for me.
In the people app I have only the phone contacts selected. Where I see the facebook contacts is if I am in the phone app and I start scrolling through the list from the phone app or if I create a shortcut that is Direct Dial. In those 2 cases it shows the facebook contacts eventhough in the address book the google and facebook contacts are not checked.

What got rid of my facebook contacts is if you are looking at the main screen, you go to menu, then settings, then accounts and sync. If you have facebook at all in that menu, remove it completely. None of my facebook contacts comes up any more if I'm in the people menu or phone menu at all.
That's all I know.

This worked for me also, now what i cant figure out is how to link the contacts in my people app, to facebook. I dont want hundreds of contacts in my phone when i dont give a rats @ss and dont plan on contacting them....
Syncing the contacts also sucks when you text. it list all the fb contacts in there....
How do I get rid of my Facebook contacts from my phonebook? I've searched but I haven't really found anything. I;ve also tried playing with settings to no avail. Please help! It's driving me nuts.
Do you want to hide them or just get rid of them totally? To Hide them go to the people app and click menu then view then deselect facebook. if you want to get rid of them altogether then backup the ones you want, Gmail contacts will back up automatically if you have that enabled, then from home screen go to menu, steeings, applications, manage applications then hit clear storage. presto no more contacts. Then restore the ones you backed up. Hope this helps.
Thanks ifly, I was able to delete all my contacts and re-sync.
Is there a way to sync the contacts on my phone with Facebook so that I can get contact pictures?
tonight different facebook pictures were with the wrong contacts
Im not to sure how to get the face book pictures. I know a round about way, First set up a "youmail account" import the contact you want into youmail. Then sync youmail with facebook, thats under social networks on the main youmail page, search for it and you can find it pretty easy. then youmail will update all your contacts with pictures (if they match facebook contacts of course) then export the youmail contacts to gmail, then sync and presto pictures. Of course this is the long drawn out way .... i dont know about an easier way as i don't use a facebook app on my evo. good luck.
Yea, that sounds like more trouble than it should be. Does anyone know an easier way?
So does anyone know how to do this through the phone? Is there an app or widget that'll do it?
sign into HTC facebook, then go log into your gmail account on the phone, let it sync contacts, then select which contact you want, and once in there is a little link option on the contact info, click it and link that contact to a person on your facebook. TADA done. I have all my contacts (that have facebook) done this way. Takes maybe 5 minutes for 100 contacts.
HTC Facebook the app or through where do I sign-in? As of now, I am not logged in to Facebook through the app or through accounts & sync.
I am logged in to the gmail app for the record.
Still nothing. Anyone else have any ideas?
Hi All,
Sync with Facebook Contact was very easy and handy in HTC Sence. Since I have upgraded to Elinux 2.3 / Froyd Villain 1.7 ..I am not seeing any options in contact menu, by which i can sync my phonebook/google contact with facebook contact.
I have noticed some of my contact automatically sync with facebook. And for some its not sync. also in some contact , i am seeing some xml data in "note" section.
I need to know how can i sync my existing phone contact with facebook contact with my phonebook / google contact when i dont have HTC Sence.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have some way to sync facebook contacts with milestone 2 + CM10?
i try update app from market, check the option to sync contacts, but nothing happen, search in foruns and got just the answer use motoblur, but CM10 dont have MOTOBLUR.
what is the best way to do that?
Try the app 'facebook contact sync' from the play store. works very good on my phone. The only problem is, if people have different contact names on your phone (not facebook username) you need the facebook-id. Haven't figured out yet how that works.

just don't open the "Contacts" app, open "Phone" and switch to contacts. There will appear only your contacts with number.
Contact Picture Sync (from sbla games) is an interesting app, instead of automatic an regular syncs, the app creates a one time list where it try to find correspondent matches, then you review the list selecting FB and the correspondent local contact, then download the full sized pictures to local contacts. The app can save the list for the next sync.
