Hi everyone,
I've just bought this new Desire phone.
I need some explanation about how the contacts are working:
I linked the phone number of my sister with facebook and now, in the contact folder, I see her number twice.. 1 from google account, 1 from facebook? Is there a way to avoid this?
I also tried to excanghe (with bump) our contacts (from Legend to Desire) and now in the contact folder i see this note: "added by bump on 08/05/2010 etc." 3 times!!! And I cant find how to delete these notes.. anywhere!
Tried also to delete the contact, and re-add it but at the time i sync with google, notes comes back again!
This is strange... anyone can help me about that?
Bye bye and tnx in advance.
For your first problem, you can merge the two contacts by selecting the first contact, clicking on the top right link icon, and choosing the second contact.
I don't understand your second problem so cannot help.

do you know how I can keep Desire contact pictures updated via facebook?
To OP, you can manage your contacts on your computer by going to google.com/contacts - organize them, merge them, etc, and then they'll sync to the phone.
To JuSteR, if you enable Facebook sync, their Sense contact pictures should automatically be updated with their FB profile picture.
Facebook sync is enabled. It updates status, news, messages but contact piuctures

Contacts are merged.. But still shows the same number twice. The copy-number disappears only if I unlink the facebook profile from the contact page
(note: the facebook profile does not have a phone number).

The Bump(tm) application from market, added to the contact a note (actually 3 notes) but if I try to modify the contact I don't find any note where are them? (see images for a better explanation)
Tnx all for help!

That's a bug. The contact pictures will not be updated automatically. You have to go to setting option, sign out then sign in facebook sense again to make the contact pictures updated.
tnx for the advise!
Forced to use FB picture
I actually has the opposite problem, I managed to sync Facebook contacts with my Google contacts on my Desire.
But now I'm forced to use Facebook contact picture on contacts that linked to their Facebook accounts, even if I select one of the contacts to use it's Google picture, it stays until the next sync, right after that it pops back to its Facebook picture.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
To hide contacts from unwanted accouts(google), you go to
People -> press meni button -> View
and select witch accouts will be visible.

I do not have so sign out of my facebook account. My contact pictures (all linked to FB) are updated each time I go online, sometimes, here you may be correct, it takes time and not all are updated.
if you find your FB contact pics are not updating.
> unlink them from Facebook
> back out of contacts
> enter contacts again
> re-link the contact and select Facebook at their picture.
Any ideas regarding forced FB contact pictures issue I noticed above?
Sorry for starting the new thread, But I am having this problem.
Thanks for the RoM (1.8c), it is working fine but when I imported all the contacts as business card through Bluetooth, I was not able to save under contacts also
When I select People and select add contact, I am seeing the dialoug box showing create contact under account with the option as News, Weather and Stock!!!!
Why it is so. Need your help to understand this problem.
how to get business cards from other mobile?

Hi guys,
I was wondering how you update your contacts with their facebook pictures and such, since for some reason only a few of them seem to be synced and I can't seem to control when to refresh it and such (the names match and such, that can't be the problem).
edit: I found out how to do it by manually joining profiles to contact names. However, the first contact in my list is called "1 eigenaar" ("1 owner") which has my home phone number in case my phone would get lost. Is there a way to link your own facebook profile to one of your contacts? Also, can you link contacts to a facebook account of a person that isn't in your friend list?
Lastly, is there a way to make contacts appear with their nicknames in the name list without having to put the nickname in one of the normal (first/last) name fields?
Thanks
Sure man! just install the facebook app from maket it will ask about the sync. To link numbers just enter the contact then on menu, click on "edit" then choose "sync"
About the nicknames, I can't help :/

Hey Nietzschean ,
could U tell me how u manually joined the facebook profiles to your contacts ?
I'm also on CM7 but i can't find a way to do this.
Thx
I think mine actually merged themselves, at least the ones with the same name.
First uninstall your facebook apps from your phone
restart the phone
and install again from market.
when you finish the installation just open it and the apps will ask to sync friends from your contact.
Go to your contacts, "Edit" your contacts. Then when you're in the "Edit" mode, hit the "Menu" key on your phone. Then use "Join" and search for the appropriate facebook profile.
I had this same problem with CM7 and MIUI, might of been me, but reading another post I downloaded a app call syncmypix and it worked perfectly!
I just installed HAXSync and synced my contracts with Facebook to get pics in my contacts. Many were slightly different and I had to manually join a facebook contact to their other contact (their cell phone). I figured out if you press and hold down on a contact the menu comes up with an option to join two contacts. I accidentily joined a couple by simple misclicks. So I joined a facebook contact (a guy) with a facebook pic to my sister in laws cell phone (no pic). Now I got to click the guys name to get her phone number.
How do I unjoin two contacts that shouldn't have been joined? I tried deleting and readding but it said it won't delete it just hide it in my contacts?
I tried a search but couldn't find anything for unjoining a contact.
Using stock facebook i would click the joint contact press menu then unjoin

I posted this in the AT&T specific M8 forum and got no response despite 500 views, hope ya'll can help. I am on a stock based rom using gmail to sync my exchange account email, contacts, etc. I have removed the stock mail app. When I try to edit an Exchange contact, it doesn't give me the option, i.e. I press the contact name to open, then press the the three dots in the upper right, no option to "Edit Contact". I can edit all google contacts without issue. I seem to remember being able to edit Exchange contacts when using the native mail app. Any ideas on how to solve this?
