Hi.
Go to your contacts and click the little icon with 3 heads at the top left, and that will give you the option of what contacts to display, gmail or phone.

auto link?

I am trying to sync all my contacts to gmail/facebook but I have to manually go into each contact and click the link icon (I have the names exactly right too). If I click on link the suggestion is there but I want it to be automatic. Is there a way to do it?
I also saw an annoyance that when syncing with facebook it adds all contacts phone numbers which you can remove them by changing the view options but they still show in search - how annoying!! Couldn't see any work around for this on the other threads...?

[Q] Can't change the photo of a facebook linked contact

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

[Q] Manual Contact Syncing with Facebook

Heya,
So I have some contacts on my phone that are not linked to their facebook accounts. Any idea how I can manually link them to their facebook accounts ?
Cheers
MJ
Go to people app. To get there, on your home screen, click on Phone, then on the bottom right hand corner you have a icon to click on. Click on it, then you have 4 or 5 icons along the bottom (forgot) and the go to the fry left icon.
In there find your contact, click on it.
On this new page on the top right hand corner you have this link icon, click on it, it will prompt you to select what you want to link. Then search and then link.
You must however have FB syncing at this stage or you want have any contacts to link
Thank you

Just tried it but it sends them all pixelated?
Yea, that's android for ya. Don't know a solution bro.
to place a picture for a individual contact.
go to the contact you want to add a picture to in the contact folder.
then press the three dots on the top right corner = to the menu
press edit
on the far right of the name of the contact there is a square with a face that where the picture goes.

Go to the menu to adjust lock screens. They chose the 2nd one (productivity) and press "Settings", 4th item says "Show calendarevents" click that one.
Now chose all the calendars you want to show on the lock screen. (Most likely the one with birthdays isn't check, so just check that one and the other calendars you want to see)

Thanks for your help.
I have tried what you are saying and selected all the calendars. The problem is not that the birthdays dont show, its that the notification shows the birthdays for tomorrow and not today, thats the issue here. Wondering how to set the notifications to show todays calendar events

Kinda beats the point then doesnt it? Having it on the notification screen is to remind us of what is due today, rather than tomorrow yeah?

All appointments in the future (also for today) are shown. Your problem is that birthdays normally add as all-day-event and this is already begon (at midnight) and therefore it is not shown.
A workaround can be to change the event to a time in the future (such as 23pm).
