I know its been asked before. But what the crap does the media tab in contacts do? I can't find the thread anymore.

If you go to Accounts and Sync. There are a couple options that integrate into the Contacts app. Facebook, MySpace and Twitter i think? For example, I have Facebook added. So in my contacts list anyone who is on Facebook, I can see their albums right from the media tab.

I just flashed Cyanogen and so far it seems awesome, but is there an easy way to import people's facebook pictures to use for my contacts like sense has?
Also, is there a way to get sprint's visual voicemail working on it?

Scroll the the bottom of the first post in this thread. There you'll find the Sprint voice mail apk.

Thank you for that! Any ideas on the facebook?
Also, are there any other kernels besides snap that work with cyanogen? I can't seem to find a stable setup.
for facebook pictures: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.nloko.android.syncmypix
free app that works well
facebook and twitter are syncing with contacts in cm6 now, not sure about the contact pictures. i haven't really tested it out.
contacts sync works in cm6...works fine on mine. works the best if you do first and last names in your contacts, it makes it earier for the facebook program to match the contacts

Do you have facebook contacts appearing in your contacts, and linking with regular contacts?
If for some reason a contact is using a different image than facebook, open that contact and scroll to the area of the contact with the facebook data, if you click on the picture from facebook it will prompt you to use that image
Anyway to link contacts. Every time I use a CM Rom, I end up with 600 contacts most of them doubles. One being a FB contact and the other being the actual contact stored in the Google Cloud. I love the roms, but this is very upsetting.
Yes you can link your Facebook contacts. First go into your Facebook app, hit menu and you should be able to sync Facebook.contacts.
From there, go to your contacts, select a contact, hit menu to edit contact, and you should see an option to 'join' - this will let you link your contact to their Facebook profile. Also, after linking the contact, you can choose to use their Facebook photo or leave it on their default photo if you have one.assigned.

you can only do this in a sense rom. with cm6 and facebook you can only choose to sync all fb contacts or sync only existing contacts
Thanks man. That worked like a charm!
Does anyone know of a better contacts manager? Hopefully one that can show google groups. I would really like the ability to link my Facebook friends with my contacts, sort of like the way the HTC Sense and Moto Blur does it.
I don't know if there's one that does what you want, but there is "Contacts GroupU" that works with Groups, and "Star Contacts" that is more of a stock replacement. I use both.
I may not fully understand your question but you can add your facebook contacts through the contacts settings. I did it on accident and my contacts were flooded with everyone in my facebook friends. If that is what you are looking for, you do it through contacts}settings}display options.
If this isn't what you are, good luck.

The stock contacts can be linked with facebook and twitter, just sign in to the apps and there are options to sync your contacts. If they do not automatically sync you can manually link the contacts, contacts > edit contact > menu > join.
I do think sense did a better job of automatically matching contacts than the stock contacts app on Froyo, I had to manually link more contacts on the G2 than on the Mytouch Slide.
The default contacts does it.. But there is a app in the market "phonebook 2.0" you should check it out

Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?
Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.

How do I exactly do that?
Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks
OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!
When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?
no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.
Do you have SNS installed?

Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.
Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..
EDIT:
NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~
hi there
i think i have a same problem like u before
but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try
it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends
sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name
if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture
since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way
notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.
hope it helps
Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..
Is there a way to link normal contacts w Facebook like on Sense roms.I'm on asop its cools but not digging the no pic next to name part.thanx

There's a free app in the market called syncmypix. That will do it. Also go into accounts and add ur Facebook into the accounts.
If you have the Facebook For Android app that is from Facebook just open the app, go into settings>sync contacts and make sure that sync with existing contacts is checked. Then it will sync all your existing contacts with their Facebook account.
The og epic did this no problem and I miss it. I have my FB set up thru social hub and have calendar sync checked off so what's the prob??

I used to have that working myself but then timezones on events were all messed up so I was forced to find another way.
So what I did was a bit of an end-around that uses your Google account's calendar. If you don't want to sync to Google calendar then this won't work.
If you do, go to your Facebook Events page. There's a link called "Export". That will pop up a message with a webcal://... link. Copy that link to your clipboard.
Then go into your Google calendar using a computer browser (sign in to the account you sync to your phone). Click the little dropdown triangle next to the "Other calendars" section on the left-hand sidebar and choose "Add by URL". Paste the URL that you copied from Facebook into the box and click "Add Calendar".
Now your Facebook events will be in your Google calendar.
If you go to Settings for the Calendar on your phone and select the "Calendars" option, you can pick and choose which of the Google calendars you want to sync. Each will show up as a separate calendar.
If you are obsessive about wishing people a happy birthday, you can also go to the "Birthdays" link under Events on Facebook and follow the same method to export a calendar of all of your Friends' birthdays.

I forgot about this thread lol. After removing all my synced accounts and restoring them manually I got my calendar back up. I guess restoring synced accounts from titanium doesn't do much of a good job.. But thanks for the info bcuz I didn't know I could export a calendar from FB!
