[Q] Stop HTC Sense syncing Facebook to Phone

Guys, how the hell can I stop Facebook syncing contacts to my phone?
I want it to see what contacts I have in my phone and then sync them to Facebook, but I really dont want Facebook pushing all my friends to my phone.
Is there anyway this can be turned off? I know you can hide them in "People", but thats not the point. I dont want them on my phone in the first place

No way apart from removing sense all together in the sync settings. I wish htc would sort this out I want to chose who goes into my dialer

Just choose to see only SIM and phone contacts. That way the rest ( google, facebook etc. ) won't be visible.

I like htc sense, but don't like facebook contacts being synced to my phone and wish they'd update it so that you get the option. There are two ways to stop it, one is permanent and one is permanent until you reboot the phone and have contacts synced to a cloud, such as google mail. The only problem is when you reboot the phone it then switches facebook contacts sync back on!
Method 1 (Permenant)
Under settings menu, in Accounts and Sync. Remove the account Facebook for HTC Sense.
Method 2 (Not Permanent - Will remove all contacts unless you have a them synced to a cloud)
Under settings menu.
1. In Accounts and Sync, tap on Facebook for HTC Sense and untick option to sync contacts
2. Under settings menu in Applications, tap on Manage Applications and then Tap on Running Applications, at the top of the screen. Select menu, just to sort them in abc order.
3. Wait for the screen to update the icons with images and then scroll down and find Contact Storage. Tap on Contact Storage and then tap on Clear Data, in the options. This will remove all contacts, and then the cloud base contacts will update your phone back with your normal contacts.
Method 2 is not permanent and is only effective until you reboot the phone, or replace the battery. Once this has been done then the contacts sync in Facebook for HTC Sense get's reenabled for some reason. Be nice if it didn't!
I hope HTC will get wind of some people are annoyed that Facebook contacts sync with phone contacts with Sense and they may just update the app with a more permanent solution to stop it if you don't want it to.

I want my dialer list to show only the contacts on my sim / phone and not add my facebook friends.
I'd also like it if the contacts that are on my sim / phone would update status etc.
There is a page over on the google code site about this:

Can't you just log out of Facebook in the Sense apps? Unless Sense is also talking to the official Facebook app, that should work.

Yea go to people hit menu view and then uncheck facebook. Lol that happened to me when I first synced fb I have 4998 friends imagine that lol

if you want to remove them totally, not just hide them do this:
Set Facebook to NOT import your contacts, go to applications, manage applications, all. then scroll down untill you see contact storage, then clear cache and wipe data. this will clear EVERY contact on your phone, then back out of that and go to accounts and sync then make sure your google acct is syncing and it will reload all of your google contacts. Presto no more FB contacts.
WARNING, this will erase ALL of your contacts, so you WILL lose everything that is in Phone also, so make sure all your contacts are backed up to google or a vcf.
Ok sorry but somebody would wipe everything without being backed up to google ...
Course if you just want to hide em, what nuggy said.

[Q] Desire Z - The linked contacts don't show up when trying to add to groups

I think the title says it all.
I have all my Outlook contacts synced with the phone (so they are phone contacts). Some of the phone contacts are also linked with Facebook for HTC Sense, some with Peep, and some with both. I only chose to show the Phone contacts in the People app, so the contacts from Peep or Facebook that are not also in Phone/Outlook won't show up. This is ok and I have all the contacts I need in People/All Contacts.
The trouble starts when I want to add contacts to groups. I can only choose from contacts that are not linked with Facebook/Peep. Those "Phone" contacts that have Facebook accounts won't show up. Of course, I can manually go to each contact, edit them and add them to groups. But it'll take a long time and I'm too lazy to do that.
Any idea why they don't show up when I try to add them from groups? Is it a bug?

This has been fixed in the last system update.

[Q] Sync Facebook details with Contacts in Oxygen 2.0 RC7?

Well? I have synced all my contacts through my account, I didn't use Titanium backup. Is there a way to sync things like Photos, birthdays into the calendar and such? I see that the facebook app does allow it but it doesn't work

You can sync your Facebook contacts with your phone contacts. If they don't link, just go into the phone contact and press Menu > Join and select the right one. You can do it manually by filling all the info out of the phone contact.

Cheers dude i just tried that and although slow as hell, i put all the main contacts i wanted to sync in Favorites and did it that way...thanks again

[Q] Stop Facebook app sync

Hello,
I'm not sure if this a HTC One X specific problem, but I didn't have it on my old Samsung Galaxy. If I open the preinstalled (I guess official) Facebook app on the HTC One X, it asks me what I want to sync. I don't want to sync anything, so I choose that option an press "done". However, the stupid things still keeps syncing all my Facebook friends to my phone contacts (it adds a Facebook phone book). I don't want this. If I delete the Facebook account under "Accounts & Sync" the synced data is removed, however, if I open the Facebook app after that, it will ask me again what I want to sync and the whole things starts over. Is there any way to avoid this?
Many thanks.

It'll add the friends but it won't sync them to your existing phone contacts. Just untick the Facebook contacts in 'People' and they won't show up

But there is now way of not even allowing it to import the Facebook phone book?

Well, yeah - telling it not to sync should do that...if it doesn't then I'd say no

I had the same problem and fixed it with removing that annoying app forever ...
