I have too many photos in FB and it takes ages to sync them all. How do I turn this (just this) off, which was included in the recent SE update?
bro, go to settings -> account & sync, lool for Sony facebook icon (looks like a mobile icon with F word), open it and untick sync albums in Gallery...
Cheers

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
from my Desire + XDA App

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
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

Just figured out that I can link contacts in my phone with their facebook profiles. Problem is, I have like 200 phone numbers and like 90% of them have facebooks. Is there a way to auto link them?

not sure about on your current ROM. In the CM series, the contacts are linked automagically with Facebook profiles. You could try in your ROM as well.
To get the picture to sync, open your Contacts app, select a contact, Menu > Edit, and scroll down to the bottom, see if there is a Facebook account linked. If so, tap the picture and select "Use this picture". Save the changes and Exit.
This will only work, of course, after you add a Facebook account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Facebook), which only works if Facebook app is installed.
The method above will also sync the pictures anytime they change (ie, if your friend changes their profile pic, the change will sync to your phone).
I can't seem to add or link Twitter contacts in the Contacts app, something I'm used to from HTC phones. Xperia with Twitter is authorized & synced and listed as one of the autosync accounts, but Twitter doesn't show up in the Filter options at all.
Is this not possible on Xperia phones?

of course it s possible.
maybe these s something wrong with twitter app or integrated twitter in xperia.
try to reinstall it.
i had problem with twitter on Xperia Z1
cannot connect built-in twitter! But after few days it connected.
i didn't do any special things, only reinstall twitter app 2-3 times.
:good:
Sadly reinstalling Twitter multiple times doesn't help.
Do you see Twitter listed under Contacts > menu > Filter > Display Contacts? Because I don't.
Edit: I should also add that the Contacts > Settings > Show Status Updates option is greyed out and not selectable.
