i accidently deleted a facebook contact, and now it doesnt want to sync back... how can i sync that contact back to my contacts list?
Did you try going into your contacts or the facebook app, and using the option to remove all facebook contacts in your phone, then back out (I think it takes a bit to refresh/remove), then put the setting back to syncing all contacts or all current contacts?

I love my Evo but one problem I seem to have is getting my pictures from my people to match their current Facebook picture. When I originally linked all the contacts in my people it was correct to their pictures at the time but that was 2 months ago. Now, everyones picture is still the same as it was back then even though I go to accounts->sync every day and have it on auto sync for every 4 hours. Does anyone know how to fix this bug on my phone? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I've done it by selecting settings, applications, manage applications, all tab, then select contacts storage and clear data... now your contacts must be backed up on google otherwise you'll lose all your contacts.. and just sync, sync sync
sorry for the noob response but how do i back them up with google?

If your contacts are created in your google account, meaning if you can log into gmail on your computer and your contacts are there, then they are already backed up.
If you create contacts on the internal phone storage, you are sol.
Go to people and hit menu and choose import/export. Back up the contacts that are on the internal phone storage to your sd card. Open up gmail in your pc browser and import those contacts to your gmail contacts, using the file that you backed up to the card.
Or what you can do is go to settings, accounts & sync and select facebook for htc sense, remove account, the add the account back

okay i did that and now only like 1/4th of my people have the little FB icon on the bottom left and only the people with the icon have statuses under their name. Also, when I try to link the people without the facebook icon, that person's name will not be on the list but if i choose someone else to link that first person's name is there. sorry if im confusing you guys haha I know its something small I just like to have everything right on my phone.
Wow people here are doing this the hard way. There is a facebook picture app that syncs your FB contacts picture. The other way is to just log out of facebook AND AND AND AND AND facebook for htc sense. then just log back into them both. easy as pie.
This is so annoying!!! I logged into the facebook app on my evo and now when I try to open my contacts, they're bogged with all these contacts from facebook. IS there a way to remove them without logging out of your facebook?
Please Help!
Thanks

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.
I've flashed my phone with the Defrost ROM and despite backing up & restoring my contacts and messages with Titanium I can't seem to get them back. Can anyone help, thanks?
Do a reboot and try again.
Tried this and had no luck. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I've stored my numbers on the phone memory, maybe Titanium only backs up SIM card contacts. God knows about the text messages??
Contacts should be backed up to your gmail account.
As for texts, I use SMS Backup and restore from the market and haven't had any problems

How do you do this? I think I've synced mine to my Gmail account but I don't know how to check for sure?
Plus a few of my contacts haven't linked correctly to Facebook but the ROM I'm using (Defrost) doesn't seem to give me the option to do manual Facebook links.

check it online in your gmail account, if its synct than all your contacts should be in there. To have this sync you have had to choose to save all your contacts as google contacts before, if you did not do it then they are not synct, will not do it automatically.
Checked gmail and they have synced with it, thanks.
Now I just need to work out how to link a couple of contacts to Facebook.
Im on GingerVillain and I think the contacts list/software is similar. Edit contact then press menu button should then give you option to 'Join Contact's you can then manually select a Facebook contact to add to your contact on your phone.
I like to have my contacts to have their Facebook profile pictures but, I don't want to have all my Facebook contacts on my phone. I have selected to only sync with current contacts. But, it still puts all of my Facebook friends on my phone. It wouldn't be a problem since under "People" I can select to see only "google contacts" but, they are there when I open my "Dialer" on my phone. It used to just sync with my phone contacts and wouldn't put all of them on my phone. This is highly annoying because it used to work when I got my evo last summer. Anyone have any advice to sync my current contacts with out all of my Facebook contacts being synced? Thanks!
Go into People. Then hit Menu, click view. At the bottom, uncheck Facebook contacts and they'll disappear. One other thing that you can do if you use your gmail for contacts as well as email is check "only with phone number. There are lots of other options in there.
Yeah tried it but they still show up and I still have to sort and search for my real contacts in the dialer. Guess ill just have to deal with it. Thanks for the help tho

Hi folks,
I could not manage my contacts between my device, my google contacts and my google+ account in a proper way such as merging the duplicates and showing/hiding the contacts that I want.
Serously.. Google should simplify it with couple of clicks only!!!
Hi !
I'm sorry but i don't understand so much what's the problem with the contact management ?
You can't merged them together or that's not sync with your others devices ?
When I signed up in Google+, Google+ created a new list in Google Contacts. It shows an option to merge my Google Plus contacts with my current contacts, I clicked yes! Guess what? I got merged contacts but with duplications!! So I decided to clean up the mess, Google didn't implement any unmerege option. WTH, also it messes my contacts in my phone.
So I need now to delete the contacts and build up the contacts again from scratsh.
I will try to export the contacts, fix them. Then, import them to Google Contacts again.
I believe you can unmerge them via google+ settings in the app itself or via setting-accounts and sync. Tap on your gmail account and uncheck sync google+

Woaw, indeed, that's strange =/
Very strange !
And if you try to work directly (for this time only to clean up) on the web version, to use the "find & merge the duplicates" ? And/Or use the backup into the Contact too
I didn't have the problem when G+ was implemented into Gmail =/ it's weird that's happen
You can Join & Unjoin contacts in the People app.
you can edit your google contacts by visiting
google.com/contacts
this helps out by cleaning up duplicates and is easier than just doing over the phone.

Problem is the sync is one way, from gmail to android, not from Android to gmail. If I have a phone number on Android it doesnt show up on gmail. Why oh why?
I don't know... I've honestly never had any of these issues. My contacts work perfect.

Man that would make life so easy, I had to do this to bring my phone numbers to gmail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417215
SO I take it any contact as long as it is not facebook and skype or whatsapp or twitter will sync with gmail contacts.
i also noticed contacts are a bit difficult, i almost lost all my contacts..
but i just leave them as they are and sometimes see i do need to adjust or merge one, but i aint touching them anymore.
Google COnTACTS has option : click MORE an then RESTORE CONTACTS
A menu opens where you can choose time to restore to (1 h ago, a day ago...)
