[Q] Start Dialing a number, facebook contacts show up - Epic 4G General

Whenever I start dialing a number, all my facebook contacts with that area code and first few digits start showing up as people to quick-select. In reality, only about one or two of these numbers are actually stored to my google account.
I have my contacts list to display only contacts with a phone number, and facebook contacts are set to be hidden, so if I were to search these people that auto-display when I'm dialing a number, they don't show up.
How do I prevent these facebook contacts from showing up when I'm dialing a number? Why do they show up when I'm dialing a number, but they don't show up in my contacts list? It's quite annoying.
PS) I'm running SRF 1.2 with genocide.

Probably because you have your facebook mobile linked to your phone

Bingo. When you install Facebook on your phone, just don't sync it. That would drive me friggin' nuts.

Hmm... but then what about maintaining contact pictures? The only way they can be updated is to sync your facebook contacts, to my knowledge. Right??
Is there any way to sync existing contacts' images with their facebook accounts, but prevent ALL of my facebook friends with phone numbers from popping up when I dial a number? It's TOTALLY driving me crazy!
Also, in the account settings I have my facebook listed TWICE. One must be with a built in facebook thing, and the other is from the facebook app. I'm not sure which is which. One of them only gives me an option to sync contacts. The other lets me set the sync interval, sync the calendar, and sync contacts. Both of these have sync set to OFF on the main accounts screen.

Open your facebook app. Press the "back" button once. Press the menu key. Select options. Find the option for syncing facebook contacts and turn it off.

Right, I'm aware of that option. Thank you, but it's not the solution I'm looking fir.
Let me put it this way... How do I have my google contacts' pictures stay updated to their Facebook profiles without all my Facebook contacts coming up when I dial numbers? I feel like this should be an easy fix...

I believe Its in the sync options. Make sure you pick sync existing contacts only and not all. All puts all your facebook friends into your contacts

Try this:
Contacts > Menu > More > Display Options
Under Choose contacts to display click on Facebook, uncheck All Contacts.
Reboot. All the contacts you have in google should still sync with facebook and keep their contact picture updated.

Yeah, I did that quite some time ago, ringold. Only my google contacts show in the contact manager, which is great. But as soon as I try to dial a number my facebook contacts show up as options to select. Therein lies my problem... and I doubt I'm the only one who has it...
Blazinan, That's a good workaround for getting pictures linked to my google contacts, but what about keeping them updated? I know it's not a huge issue and probably sounds nit-picky and trivial... but it seems like it should be an easy thing to accomplish:
Google contact's pictures sync with facebook profile images, but my entire facebook contact list doesn't show up when dialing a number. wtf...

This is bugging the crap out of me too!

You are oh so welcome... doesn't it seem like a quick line of code could add an option to filter out facebook contacts from popping up in the dialer? I feel like this should be a standard feature in all roms.

I think I know why it's doing this. If you do the steps I outlined in my initial post, it will only show the phone numbers listed in facebook that actually have their number listed on their facebook profile. I don't think there is any way around this. But it does block the rest of the numbers who don't have their phone number listed on facebook.
Small consolation but at least it's not all my facebook contacts like I originally thought.

"Start Dialing a number, facebook contacts show up..."
It's ciq lol

I was actually about to open up a new thread about the very question but then I found this! I hope it's okay to post in this even though it's a month old.
I just got this phone recently and I hate how my Facebook contacts show up in the dialer too! I chose "sync only existing contacts" or whatever, which is what I wanted (to keep all their info and pics up to date), but I don't understand why Facebook contacts with phone numbers that I DON'T have in my existing contacts are showing up as well! Has anyone found a solution to this? Or have you guys just un-synced Facebook contacts? =/

merging facebook accounts to phone number contacts

In sense I was used to have all my contacts shown with their facebook information within their phone numbers (I just need to pair them first on winmo).
I tried some sense Android build and I still have all the number connected to my facebook account, now I put on a senseless build that is 10 time faster so I'd like not go back to sense, but I miss that function, to have facebook pictures of friend, and birthday and their updates all bound to phone numbers..
All I have now is a contact list with my own names (they are not listed with name/surname) with phone numbers and all real names from facebook without numbers and only the email.
Is it possible to merge them again like in the sense contact list? someone knows how to do that?
thanks for reading
Please help someone.... i need an answer too....
Short answer: no
Long answer: In pursuit of same solution, the best i came up was to merge facebook with gmail, leaving out facebook in the phone alone. There's few ways to do it, but the easiest and most reliable I found, was to get yourself yahoo.com mail, pull facebook contacts into it using the integrated tool that they have (gmail should make one too :/) and then merge it back into gmail using gmail tools. This method however leaves out pictures. So to rectify that, get yourself a free app on market called "SyncMyPix". It will match your (now updated) contacts to facebook and get pictures. It's not perfect - resolution is smaller and you get F in the corner (Facebook F), but it works.
GL.
Edit Contact -> Join/Merge (Cant remember)... I join/merge my saved contacts with facebook contacts always. Using senseless build.

That about sums up what i did. The pictures dont matter. Once you put the combined contact info together then import in gmail, open the facebook app and sync all, the pics then show up on the phone in contacts.

Loosing Facebook contacts

I'm Loosing Facebook contacts, that im still friends with, the contact manager no longer shows them as a facebook contact just a phone contact with no picture and stuff.
tried to resync didnt do anything
Do you possibly have the option selected to only show contacts with phones numbers? When you're in contacts hot the menu button and then display, and check your contacts display settings. If you have only show numbers selected or facebook deselected then you won't see those contacts.

i was not set to only show contacts with numbers, and some of the contacts had numbers anyway.
i resynced facebook, retstarted phone and went to find more contacts and they showed up again weird...
Perhaps the sync was the key? Don't know, glad you got it working again though

Unleash Your Social Phonebook Power

I would like to share about stock Social Phonebook on the new 2.1 update.
This is what I found so far. And please share what you found too.
As far we know Social Phonebook will automatically Join our contacts from Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Yahoo Messenger, Spotify, etc.
I. Facebook Integration
The most annoying one is when it change my phonebook name with the name from facebook. This is what I found about it.
1. SP (Social Phonebook) will automatically join contact from phonebook when it has the same name (first and last) or phone number or email. And it will show us the name from facebook.
2. If we join manually and our phonebook first name has the same name as the facebook first name, it will show you the name from the facebook. Example: phonebook name John, facebook name John Doe, it will show as John Doe.
3. If we join manually and have different first name from phonebook and different name from facebook, it will show us the name from phonebook. Example : phonebook name JOE, facebook name John Doe, it will show as JOE.
II. Yahoo Messenger, PingChat, and ... (haven't try more than that) Integration
Our new SP is a more complicated than the last phonebook. It has a lot more feature. It can even integrate with YM, PingChat and I assume a lot more.
1. If you put Yahoo IM in your phonebook and have YM official app at the same time. It will integrate seamlessly. Everytime you click your contact YM it will automatically in the chat mode at your YM app. You can even directly sms your contacts from YM app (if the phone number is support by YM). And if you choose Contacts Detail at YM it will show you whats in your phonebook contact accordingly including FB status from your contacts.
2. If you are using PingChat, you can link using PingChat app, or add it manually via phonebook. To add from PingChat app you could click link contact inside of the app. To add from phonebook you could add field->IM->Custom and type in PingChat insie the Custom Field Name and type in your friend PingChat ID for example : onetwothree (PingChat) <<== yes type (PingChat) too.
III. Powerful Contacts Avatar/Pic.
At the left side of your contacts name inside the phonebook lies your contacts avatar/pic. If you click the avatar, it will show you various pop up menu (most basic one is Dialer, Phonebook, and Messanging).
1. If you join your contacts with facebook it will show you facebook icon and when you click it, it will call FB official apps. (I guess this also applied with other join contacts? )
2. If you have either IM (mine is YM and PingChat), it will show you one of the icon whether it's YM or PingChat. When you click it, you can choose between the app and it will directly call the in the chat mode.
3. If you have address, it will show you Google maps icon too. When you click it of course it will show you the map location. ^_^
4. If you have email (I'm using K-9 Mail) it will show you K-9 mail and when you click it, it will bring the app in the send mode. (I'm using K-9 mail and Handcent, with the stock messanging and email the icon it's the same so rather confusing).
Will post more if I found anything else. Please share yours too. ^_^ .
Still have a Blurry Contacts Pic in call though (even using Timescape method <== thanks to tigermrk for mention it).
blurry contact pictures can be cured for facebook contacts at least by setting up timescape to your facebook and then that should automaticcaly sync to your phonebook then each contact will have 2 pictures when u click edit, then just long click the timescape picture and set as contact picture, save and exit
fully tested and working it really bothered me those blurry pictures lol

The phonebook actually don´t work when you have two friends with the exact same name...
For some reason i have the problem that i have 8 friends, that in pairs of two have the exact same name (on facebook), in my phone i have given them alternative last names, or used their middle name when they have one, but the phone have combined them so they both is in the same contact now.
Pretty stupid system...
I can´t be the only one in the world with that problem...
Also an other annoing thing, is if eg. my gf have her phone number and e-mail on facebook, and i allready also had it in contact on the phone, then it will be there two times in a row when they are combined.
The system should be able to figure out that the same phone-number/adress/e-mail only have to be under a person once....
SE can make face recon., but can´t see that eg. two email-adresses is 100% identical...
I tried the system 4-5 days, but decided to shut it down again, as it was too annoing to use for real...

I'm sorry if I make you or others confuse. Generally what show at phonebook is only our phonebook contacts, meanwhile now we had other contacts such as facebook, twitter, etc contacts. We can enable it by clicking three people pics at the top left of our phonebook.
For example if you check all fb contacts, the phonebook will now show your facebook contacts as well. From here you could long press your fb contacts and join it with your phonebook contacts. That what I mean before. ^_^

OTA 2.3.4 Update... Contacts

Hey all I'm new here...
Just wanted to point out some woes with the new OTA 2.3.4 update with the contacts. Although it seems the views have a few more options the bad part is they took away the option to flip the screen left or right to see social or history... that sucks but the worst part is... it seems that you can't link with social accounts anymore either!!!
Any insight on this... am I doing something wrong?
Use GO Contacts, it's just plain better.
your probably right... though 2.2.2 was fairly decent.
Just wanted to add... as I'm going through account and contact stuff, the ability to sync facebook or twitter pics with contacts is gone as well I know there are other ways (manually) but this was a nice feature... why would the take it out? What reason do we have now to add any of the social/pic stuff with motoblur? Again, Myspace, facebook, LastFm, twitter, Picasa, Photobucket, flicker, Linkedin... its all broken now, none of them sync with contacts now. (or is it fixed... was there issues with this before, did folks not like it?)
Note: If you long press any of these accounts in settings it states.... "To Fully integrate "account" into your mobile experience, click Add Account." What experience are they refering to? All I can see is that your widgets (which suck) will populate their feeds....
Update... I did find some settings for anyone looking.... if you edit a contact and press menu the option to join pops up.... so maybe its not a total loss also not as I used an app to sync FB pics to existing contacts (synced to google) not sure if you "join" if the pic syncs as well....
If they took out linking contacts period, IMO that would be a HUGE step forward.
My contacts got severely f*cked up because of that, and I'm still trying to fix that mess.
If I hadn't bought so many Apps under my current account, I just would have just created a new Google account already...

If you unlink your accounts, the contacts should go back to the way they were. Linking doesn't actually modify any account info.

Go into your contact, then menu->Options
Altough it is still possible to link the contacts, I prefer the older Contacts.
It was easy to see where did each info came from (small "f" or "t" logo near the contact data).
Will try to get used to the new interface.
Anthony, I agree with you. The option to flip right and left was very useful and I used it all the time to keep track of my communication with a contact. I was hugely disappointed to see that missing. I do not understand why they would remove that. I also liked the contact photo syncing. It was nice that most of my contacts had photos added automatically.
Has anyone else had issues with webtop working after the update? Via HDMI or any of the docks...

Just a small bug: birthday date is showed as an INTEGER (many times negative) and not more as a Date.
Example: "Birthday: -609994887"
I'm not sure if the wrong "import" of newer Contact App is about Facebook's birthday date or Google's Account, however something is wrong...
What the... they just took out the most usedlful feature in blur, contact history. Man thats so bad...

Select the one under motoblur accounts not the one under other accounts (which makes me question the wisdom of Moto for having it listed twice on the same page).

I tried that too but I had the same problem as before, no contacts showing up. Why must motorola make things so difficult?
Edit: Read on droid x forums that it can take a couple hours for them to show up, so I'll wait and see.

Be sure to be on a wifi network and ensure you can sync social apps. I would reboot the phone once all of that is checked and then see if it all comes down or not.
