Facebook and sycning single contact?

What i mainly want is the facebook pic to show up for certain contacts in my phone. When i sync facebook, it starts syncing all contacts from facebook into my phone and putting them into my phonebook which i don't want.
Is there a way to just choose specific contacts in my phone and sync only those to facebook rather than FB syncing every single contact?

I haven't seen anything that will let you select a group of contacts to sync, but there is an option in the app "Sync with existing contacts: Sync data only about friends already in Contacts."
Hope that helps.

[Q] Problem with contacts synchronisation

Hi
I've got a new Desire Z and I like it
On the first startup I synchronized all my contacts from my old Nokia N82 via bluetooth. I also logged in into my gmail account in the setup. The gmail account had no contacts.
I expected now the phone to synchronize all my contacts into the gmail account, but it didn't. I can push the "synchronize gmail" button in the phone settings, but it doesn't create all my contacts in my gmail account.
So how can I synchronize (backup) my contacts into gmail?
Thanks

I found a workaround.
I think the issue occured because of syncing the contacts in the initial setup and not later. Because of that they weren't created in gmail. All since added contacts have synced to gmail.
I exported now all contacts from the phone to the sd-card and imported them in gmail. Now they seem to be synced without any duplicates

[Q] syncing adroid to gmail without outlook

Hi,
firstly may I apologise if this has been covered, I did complete a search without
success.
I do not have Outlook on my pc,
is it possible to sync contacts with gmail without outlook, if not is there a relatively inexpensive method of purchasing Outlook ?
regards
Geoff

If you have a Gmail account and Android, you do not need Outlook at all.
Outlook can only sync with Gmail with Google Calendarsync AFAIK.
On your phone in Accounts and Synchronization, Add your gmail account and choose the items to sync.
- contacts
- gmail
- picasa
- calendar
What are you currently using on your pc as a contact manager application?

Backup your contacts to your SD card and then restore them but select your Gmail account to add them too. It will then sync the contacts to Gmail

Use MyPhoneExplorer which is free.

Thank you for the replies,
I do not have a contacts manager.
I have exported to SD card, deleted and copied back as google contacts,
it now appears to be a gmail upgrade problem as the phone error message
>Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly<
I'll just have to wait to see if it works.

[Q] google sync / exchange sync

i wanted to know if when i sync my google account to joi market place, if i also have to put my active exchange sync to my gmail account also. ive had it like this on my HOX since i got it but now i noticed that in contacts under edit options, contacts appear to have the same info for exchange and sync. so i checked and saw exchange syncs mail contacts calendar tasks, as does google sync.
so i was wondering if i could just disable exchange and stay with a google sync and have other accounts like hotmail linked to hotmail account and ignore active sync
ty in advance

[Q] calendar issue with multiple gmail accounts

This issue started when I updated to lollipop.
I have 2 gmail accounts on my phone. One is synced with calendar, the other is not. However, whenever I put a calendar entry in it has the not synced gmail account as the default account to use. Even if I go into calendar settings and uncheck the non synced account, it will not display but it will still be the default calendar selected when creating a new entry. How can I make my synced account the default?
Thanks

Does it make any difference if you setup only the Gmail account you want as default during initial setup. .. then add the 2nd account.
