Is it possible to make facebook only sync with people i already have on the phone? As it is now, it adds anyone in my facebook friends that have added a number to my phone list, would rather have it so that i can manually sync the contacts i have on the phone already, or that it only synced those that already where on the phone, is this possible?
I don't know if it's possible. But in the "Contact" app you can press "Menu" then click on "Display" (i think) and choose which contact's list will appear !
I hope it will help you.
It makes them disappear from people but not the dialer really Annoying I hoped froyo would have got rid of this issue

Yea, that's what am talking about, i know it's possible to not show them in the contacts/people app, but they still show up in the dialer.

The title says it all, but I will try to explain it more. So I have a contact that's linked to a facebook, so the contact's photo is taken from facebook. When I edit the contact, tab on the photo, change it with one from my gallery, then save the contact, it shows me again the facebook photo, not the one that I've chosen from the gallery.
Stock Froyo...
Anyone any thoughts about this?
Yeah, I have the same problem, no one bothered to help me, lets try again
If you view the contact in HTC People, tap on where it says "Linked" in the top right corner. Then tap on the photo - you can then choose from all the pictures you have assigned to the contact - including from facebook, google, camera and gallery etc.
yeah but it doesn't change them no matter what I choose
thanks anyway
if you know how to remove the f****ng FB contacts from the dialer I will apreciate it very much
Think you have to unlink.

You don't hv to unlink.. Be sure to display the "main" contact is either phone or google contact, whichever u changed the picture. Pick from drop down list..
If u don't wanna see FB friends, just uncheck it from People - Menu - View, uncheck facebook for htc

It did actually work this time, strange I did the same thing several times before and it didn't
I was talking about the ones at the bottom of the dialer, I got rid of the others a while ago, but it still displays the ones that have phone numbers in the dialer
thanks guys
hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port
If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.
I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.
Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!
Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.
arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!
Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

Or if you're rooted, remove the relevant APK's
Thanks, removing apk's sounds ideal, was rooted until I upgraded to 2.3.3, now gingebreak doesn't work.

try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115542
should do the trick, did for me
How simple is this?
Settings > "Accounts and Sync:" "Facebook" then uncheck it. Done.
Simple if it worked, i'm looking at the gray icon in 'manage accounts' and still see the F in the notifications bar.

Use gingerbreak on 2.3.2, then OTA update to 2.3.3 (it's still rooted!), kill the facebook apk's..
How do I get back to 2.3.2? I just unlocked the bootloader if that's going to help me any?

Indeed, if autosync is on you will get the facebook notification icon and a "cannot sync" message regardless of the facebook account sync options.
I just removed the account altogether as i don't really use facebook that much, so web based access is enough.
Hmm, I think I just want to remove all of this FB integration off my phone, I just need to figure out how to get back to 2.3.2
You just have to do one sync and then go to settings and uncheck facebook sync. If you never enter your Facebook account it'll keep asking you to enter it. That's how it work for me.

since its the desire z rom, that should work but if not.. if you have the latest version of gmail, it doesnt have the option anymore.. uninstall the update, go to settings in gmail, do what you need then update again
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
Here's how I set it to do "silent notifications" with the newest version of Gmail:
a) Open Gmail
b) Hit Menu > More > Settings
c) Select your email address under "Account Settings"
d) Scroll down to "Notification Settings", select "Labels to Notify"
e) Select "Inbox", select "Ringtone", set to "Silent". Hit "OK". Back out of all the menu stuff.
This way, the status bar will still let you know when you have mail (so you can check it at your leisure) but will also NOT ring annoyingly when you have mail
(Of note: This works at least through Gmail v2.3.5, which is the newest in the Market (and one version that is shipped in the GApps pack add-ons for CyanogenMod based ROMs). Pretty much one of the very first things I tend to do in setup )

That's rather odd--I'm using the latest version of Gmail available in the Market (v2.3.5) and do have that option--that said, Google seems to have made it explicitly difficult to set the thing to not ring when an email comes in (or at least non-intuitive, compared to earlier versions).
There IS a menu option to turn off notifications altogether (both ringing notifications AND in the status bar)--consists of Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (select yer email address, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you'll need to do this for each one), scroll down to Notification Settings, uncheck "Email Notifications".
If you merely want to turn off ringtone notifications for email (as opposed to all notifications--that is, if you don't want the thing blooping at you when you have new mail but DO want the status bar to indicate when you have mail) this gets more complex: Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (per account) > scroll down to Notification Settings > Labels to Notify > Inbox > set Ringtone to "Silent". (There is also a checkbox for "Email notifications" in that same section that you can use to turn off the status bar notification--if for some reason you want it to bloop at you but NOT notify you in the status bar.)
(I am in the "Non Blooping For Email" camp, and with the newest version of Gmail this gave me minor fits until I played with it a bit and found out how to do it )
Thank you for the replies everyone. It was rather unintuitive but at least its possible

He just wants Gmail notifications to be silenced, not to miss notifications/ringtones for EVERYTHING.

I am running virtuous unity 2.35, which includes the latest version of gmail. There is an option to silence notifications in the latest version of gmail.

Hi.
I have setup my lockscreen to show the Productivity Screen.
My agenda is set up to only show my gmail agenda.
Still I only get Facebook notifications shown on lockscreen.
What am I doing wrong here?
grtz,
Twan
nobody?? really??
yes, this is a bumperpost.
Hi,
i am on 1.29 FW and the problem still exists. You can choose the calendars you want to see, but i think HTC forgets to check these settings when showing the entries on the screen.
I hope they fix this in a upcoming FW
I've only just started using this setting so I've not had any Facebook events appear yet but I noticed when you click on a calendar event it takes you to the HTC calendar app where it showed the Facebook calendar. I have unselected it in there and will see how I get on
I have set up mycalendars to not show any Facebook events. It keeps puzzling me.
grtz, Twan
I think is a bug,the only way you can remove the facebook calendar is to go into settings>accounts and remove the facebook account..
I disabled the Facebook calendar sync (settings-accounts-facebook-calendarsync) can't check yet; as there are still some items today.... w'll see....
grtz, Twan
neither the sw upgrade to 29.401.11 nor the setting mentioned in the previous post solves this.
You can swipe through your today calender items on the lockscreen (left + right).
I have this problem too, is it definitely a bug? does anyone know if its fixed in any of the custom ROMs?
I've had this issue since day 1 on my HOX, its made me stop using the Productivity lockscreen unfortunately.
Hope its fixed soon
I've just noticed this too - very annoying! Is there no fix for this then and if not has anyone raised a case ticket with HTC?

Aha! Resolved. Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Settings and at the bottom you can choose which calendars & subsequently their notifications appear on the locked screen.

Hi Gulioth.
Have you actually read the reason for this topic?
The HOX just does not "disable" the FB calendar after you deselect it.
It keeps showing the FB calendar.
