Hey
How can i stop my Facebook Contacts from showing in my phone app?
I haven't ticked sync contacts in the sync options.
Click 'People', then 'Phonebook' in the upper left corner and then untick 'Facebook'. Simples!
It is unticked. They all appear on the phone section not people.
Delete facebook from the accounts and sync panel.
Then add facebook again, and choose not to sync contacts.
Managed to fix it. For some reason although i clicked not to sync, it synced. I have selected the "remove all facebook data" in the app.
I have noticed that when its showing ALL facebook contacts again even though its set to contacts in my phone book only :s

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.
Hi,
Does anyone else find that certain contacts in Gmail do not appear on Andriod in the People app?
I have some contacts which are in 'My Contacts' on gmail but try as I might I can't seem to get them to appear on the phone. The view settings in the People app are:
Sim
Google
My Phonebook
Phone
One of the missing contacts only appeared after selecting 'Show auto gmail contacts' and when I unchecked this option the contact still appears on the phone.
This problem also manifests itself when pulling in gmail contacts to Mozilla Thunderbird on the PC so presumably there is gmail setting I have missed - could this be 'display random contacts'
HTC Desire running stock HTC Sense, froyo.
Any advice or suggestions would be great
Thanks
Google has "contacts" and "My Contacts".
I found that only "My Contacts" are shown in the people apps and synchronised address books.
The contacts listed on GMail under "other contacts" are basically just everyone you've ever exchanged e-mails with. These are not synchronised with Thunderbird or Evolution and are not shown on your phone.
I think that's intentional.
thank you, ill give it a try and let you know
That does not apply to me because I have 98 contacts in ‘my contacts’ and only about half that number appear on the phone.
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
Photos on Contact (That Already Sync To FB Account) Was Not Sync-ing.
So Contact(s) Photos Display Nothing. I've Already Try With "Infinite" Button, But It Doesn't Affect Anything.
Note: All of My Contacts in Phonebook Display it Photos Synced With FB Before. But Later, I Logged Out My FB Account, And Then When I Logged In With My FB Account, All Of Contacts Photos Synced With FB Was Gone.
I Think Theres Some File Which I Must Delete To Recover The Setting To Retrieve Photos With Infinite Button, But I Don't Know Which Files I Must Delete.
Is There Anybody Experience This Problem?
Please Help ...
Do you have the facebook app set to sync in the settings menu?
Menu > Settings > Accounts and sync > ensure that FB is set to sync. Appologies if you have already checked this.
Already Done It
Wheter With Mobile Internet Connection (3G) and WiFi (High Speed) Still The Photo Of Contacts Won't Load.
ok, here's what i did, i removed all FB accounts. re add, and re authorized.
next make sure your Contact app has been configured to display contacts synced via SE Facebook Integration (click the icon with 3 persons at the top left of the Contacts app).
by the way, i believe you can actually view the contacts FB status from Contacts list, but apparently this is not happening.
anyone able to help?
I just got my Galaxy S3. As usual, when I set up my main google account it defaulted to syncing my gmail contacts and calendar. I sync my contacts and calendar to an exchange server and don't want them synced to my google account.
On other devices I could go into the account settings, uncheck contacts and calendar, then go into the app manager and delete the data from contacts storage and calendar storage and they would all be gone.
When I did this on my S3, the contacts app still shows all my Google contacts. I can't figure out how to remove them.
Can anyone explain?
Thanks!

This should have taken care of the issue. Can you make sure that you go to settings > accounts > your google account and uncheck contacts and calendar sync FIRST and than go to settings > app > contacts and clear data. (Same for calendar)
Also, if you have Google+ (or facebook) installed, it could be syncing contacts too. Make sure you uncheck and clear all contacts.
Strange. No matter what I did those contacts would not disappear. Then I rebooted the phone and they were gone. Seems to be working fine now...
Thanks.
