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

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?
I just got my wife a mytouch slide. Is there any way to make the native facebook syncing only sync facebook people that are in her address book with their picstures and stuff. It does that but even when its not set to snyc anyone else when you go to choose a person to text or whatever it shows her whole facebook friend list of like 400 people.
So is there a way to just have it sync her contacts in her address book and not have everyone from facebook in the list when she goes to text people? cause the only option seems to delete the facebook account from the settings so it doesnt snyc at all or everyone populates it. Thanks for any help.
From the actual Contacts menu (or People menu), press Menu > View and make sure Facebook is not checked in. I have my FB Contacts set to not sync, but their FB pictures show up, and I do not see any of the FB contacts that are not on my Google contacts when I go to select a contact when typing a message...
The way this phones seems to handle its contacts list is horrible.. I have some names up to 5 times from my sim, google and fb very annoying, I just want google, like the g1 used to be

1.) Link your contacts using the "link function" located on the top right corner of each contact.
2.) When in your main contacts view, hit the menu key>view>google. Make sure that its the only one selected.

I do have it like that and that works fine for the contacts app, but when u seard for a name for lets say a new text, it will show every single one individually. Im just going to ask for a SIM thats empty and not sync my FB
The problem with linking accounts that I found...
My ex has a very slutty picture as her facebook pic. I don't want my kids or myself to see that picture when I call/text her. There is an option to choose which picture to use for a contact in the linking page, but it reverts back to the facebook picture whenever it syncs!
I talked with T-mobile and they are aware of the issue and I asked if they could bring it up with HTC. Seems stupid to have a way to choose which picture if it never stays!
Is there any way to change the contact's "location" (SIM, Google, Phone) ?
I would like to get all my "Phone" contacts synchronized with Google, but i can' find any way how to change the setting from "Phone" to "Google".
I can't find any way to sync all the contacts (SIM+Google+Phone) with Google.
Is it a bug or do I missed somthing ?
Have you tried Contacts > Menu > Import/Export?
that doesn't work, I've tried. There are a few threads here asking exactly the same question.
All we'd like is to be able to put all the contact links we have from google, facebook, phone, phone, phone and phone for one contact to go under one contact, hopefully, the google one, to include all the relevant info from all the places like facebook. I don't believe anyone has said how this can be done yet.

That's really not the same thing as what the OP was asking. Mind me asking why you want to change that, tho? It's only a horrifying mess in the edit contact screen, when viewing the contact I only see one entry (Name, phone, email, address, nickname, facebook profile).
Of course, when I hit edit I have
Google contact with phone, email
Google contact with another email
Google contact with phone, email, address, nickname
Facebook contact
It's all very derp.
I don't want to link all the contact accounts for one person (his twitter, phone, gmail accounts) together.
what i want is to move all the "Phone" contacts to "Google" contacts location.
Example: when I click on People->Menu->View, then i have
SIM 0
Google 41
Phone 123
contacts
I want to have 41+123= 164 Google contacts only.
because i want automatically backup contacts on Gmail (e.g. to be able to restore them after ROM flash)
When i click on individual contact, then i see "Phone" on the right upper corner of the contact screen. i want to see "google" there. But it's not editable. Its only linkable ...
When i restored my contacts using mybackup pro they all restored as google contacts as well as phone contacts, so then i just deleted all of my phone cntcts using a contact deleter app from the market.
Google contacts all the way!
The google contacts have the phone and facebook info combined so photo birthday and all that.
thanks for the tips.
unfortunately my myBackup trial has allready expired.
but i have exported all "Phone" contacts to a *.vcf file, then deleted all contacts and finally imported them from *.vcf into "Google" contacts.
hopefully it will not mess up after synchronization with google (which is running in this moment)
I recently kinda done this, I just exported all contacts, and then imported multiple rather than one or all, and when you import it asked you where you wish to save them, Gmail, phone or sim, This is the ONLY way I can see about doing this
It's probably the only way to do this and it worked for me.
problem solved.
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

Somewhere along the way, all my contacts are joined contacts consisting of my Google contact joined with (usually) the same "Phone" (not SIM) contact. And I also have several "Phone" only contacts that consist only of some email contact I had sent at one time. What I'd like to do is to delete all the contacts stored on the phone while keeping my Google contacts only. I know I can unjoin each of my contacts individually and then delete the "Phone" contact... But is there an easier way to do this without doing them one at a time?
Thanks for any help.

Wipe contact storage. Resync.
Thanks, thought I had tried that. Had to reboot to make all the contact disappear.
Application manager>Contacts Storage>Clear Data>REBOOT>resync
Thanks for your help.
