In the dialer app on the right hand tab where it shows all your contacts my friends most frequent contacts show up as large icons side by side whereas mine just show in a list view.
Does anyone know how to make mine into the large icons? They look a lot better.
We can't figure out!!!
Hope u know whatI'm taking about. Thanks for any help u can give me

Go into the People app and star contacts. The starred contacts will show up as large thumbnails in the phone app.
It seems that only a maximum of four starred contacts will show in the phone app. Choose wisely.

That's not true. I've got 12 starred and they all show up "big" in the phone app.
My bad. Without thinking well late at night, I starred a contact that had no phone number. Of course it didn't show up in the phone app.
Awesome thanks for the replies guys much appreciated.

If I have a Facebook account and would like to keep my contacts linked... why can I not select Google as my picture source? The only option is Facebook. I want to use the pictures 'I' choose for my contacts, not their Facebook pics. I know the Incredible lets you select Google as the source of your pics.
I really don't want to keep my contacts un-linked.
Thanks guys.

I'm also trying to figure this one out. I also had the option to choose my pic source on my Evo 4g. It must be a HTC option.
Anyone know if its possible on the Droid x?
Im also trying to figure this out and also the display name some of my contacts are using their facebook nick name instead of the phone book name. it is very confusing and id like to also fix this as well.

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

Yep I have the same issue. I cannot stand the way this phones handles contacts and syncing. I have yet to find a way to just add contacts the good old fashion way as static data on the memory card which is what I want.
Sadly I have removed everything facebook from the phone just to keep the contacts out despite un-ticking sync contacts
come on guys there must be someone with a way round this problem
....
Well, the only solution I found so far is to visit htcsense.com and edit all the contacs in there. So instead of having three contacts each with different information, I just have one contact with all the information.
But it took me about 6h to edit all the contacs
lol not really a 'solution' is it.....
i have done this now takes ages as it loads up all contacts every time. there must be another way to sort this out i love my DHD but this is rely doing my head in now. I get a bigger list when i go to tex and add a contact in there all my FB contacts come up not much fun when you have 300+ in there all with funny stuff instead of numbers come on guys you can cook up new Roms but no one knows this problem HELP plz
Use your Google contact list... It really can't possibly get any better than that.
I am, but that doesn't stop facebook populating everything. Why can't I have Facebook for HTC sense without it putting all the contacts in there...
Open the People app
Tap menu
Tap View
You can disable the other contact lists

Exactly!!!
OK I just disabled HTC facebook completely, and now just use the native Android app. It properly supports "existing contacts only"
It's not like HTC's app or widget are particularly good anyway

Are there any apps to get this bback. I miss my contacts not having pictures

I'm using SyncMyPix. It can download your facebook friends pictures. Also the pictures will be uploaded to google contacts.
Awesome cheers

This is a life saver. And the fact that you can select some contacts where the names doesn't match perfectly makes this better than the official FB sync.
Thanks for posting this. However, there is one pretty big flaw, at least in my opinion. There's no option to prevent the app from overwriting contact icons that I manually set on my own. This can be annoying as many people have stupid pictures set as their profile pics on facebook.
Can i really sync all contact even the ones not on my phone or is it just for syncing a photo?

my contacts dont have pictures on them only my girlfriend and me. as for facebook I deactivated a long time ago, I couldnt stand the site. only thing that annoys me is the fact games force you to have one, eg zynga poker, Loved it until I found out its facebook only
I use http://danauclair.com/addressbooksync/ and http://spanningsync.com for my Mac.
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...

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

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? =/
