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...

Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention
Now this is bugging the crap out of me. The steps that I suggested in my previous post don't work. My facebook contacts still show up when I'm dialing
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? =/
Is it possible to create a new appointment in google calendar that is linked to an existing contact's address? So the address is automatically in the appointment without manually entering it?
For example, adding a new dr appt, using a contact that has the address, so google navigator (or google now?) can use the address data and navigate to it from where you are prior to the appt?
This seems like something android should be able to do, but i cant figure out how, and haven't found anything when searching for this. What am i missing?

My dear friends,
Since when i bought my Galaxy S3 i google sync contacts with no problem between all my devices but from today morning i noticed one surprising problem i.e when i create a new contact on say the Galaxy S3 and another on my iPhone 4 and when i sync they all appear on both devices but when i DELETE both ways that of the Android remains and does not delete, which means i have to manually delete it on Galaxy.Please help and thanks.
There's likely to be an issue on the iPhone. It's not removing it from your gmail account. Check your settings.

No i do not think because when i check my google contacts on my computer it has been deleted!
Check that all contacts on the phone have a G symbol on them. When creating a contact on the phone, be sure it is a Google contact and that you are not creating a contact on the phone only.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Thanks but in creating new contact sometime "G" symbol is not available.
Then you need to change the default setting by clearing the defaults of the contacts app in settings, applications, all
You HAVE to have the G for sync to work.
Export all your contacts to sdcard and use that file on your desktop and import it Google Contacts. Use the merge duplicates after importing.

[Q] How to change the default contact save location from "Phone" to "Google"
I always forget to change the location before save.
Can i change the default location?
I remember that my old se arc can change it.
I'm pretty sure it asks you where you want to save when you enter a new contact.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Not even sure why there is am option. Bugs me you can save stuff to the"phone" when it should be automatically saved to Google.

Can change Google to first order?
Ii always forget to change this setting when add new contact.
I don't have that problem. I only display my Google contacts and untick the other options. When I enter a number and save it, it automatically saves it to Google. :sly:

FWIW, it is my preference to exchange all email via an alternative mail server, for privacy and security.
My Gmail account does not exist on my phone, so there would not be a reason (for me) to use anything other than phone contacts, calendars, etc., bypassing Google altogether.

Yes I was having this problem saving new contacts. I thought it was a problem with root or my clean rom install them realized my contacts were saving to att phone book and new entries would not sync so I was entering the same contacts in practically every day. Had a duh moment them switched to my Google account to store my contacts.

I have been searching for the same sir. The other thread that was made on this, came up with nothing.
The default behaviour of android is to save to the last location selected, but the G2 phonebook doesn't seem to allow changing from the default which is the phone memory.
Rooting the device and tinkering with the APK for the phonebook could do something, but apart from that, I havn't been able to find a solution.
Plus one on this one

Which phone model are you guys using? I have VZW, and it saves to Google as default just fine.

i have lg g2 international and have this bug real problem for me after htc sensation
Just edit the contact and at the very top it will show where its saved, click there and chose where u want to save it to (select the gmail acct u want to use). Also you can export all your contacts to a file then login to your gmail from a computer and import that file.

Same with calendar's.
anyone found work around to this? My galaxy S2 can do it easily, once I save my 1st contact to gmail, it sets gmail as my default contact storage and I don't have to keep selecting gmail every time I want to save a new contact. But with G2 I have to keep selecting every time I want to add new contact to the list.
+1 here... (I started another thread and now I found this one with same problem)
In calendar it shows only selected calendars that is ok. And somehow it uses my default google account for calendars.
But in contacts it gives option to save to "phone, SIM, google account 1 and google account2" and default is phone.
lg g2
I have KK 4.4.2 and i have the same problem.It's very annoying...Everytime i have to change when i want to save a contact.
Thanks to this feature (bug), I have lost quite a few contacts.
This is a serious issue which can potentially prevent you from getting laid. If you know what I mean.

is this forum for Lg G2, or can i ask for other questions ?
This is one major flaw for me. Plus the ability to not change navigation bar targets.

I did factory restore on my phone and it made the trick
Sorry for bumping old thread, but is there any fix for this?
Its annoying to click every time to change sync from phone to google, plus, I lost many contacts because of this when changed the ROM
the bug is still present in lollipop
Same bug in the G3.
I wonder if the G4 suffers from it as well.
I wish for an xposed module would fix it.
