I can't seem to add or link Twitter contacts in the Contacts app, something I'm used to from HTC phones. Xperia with Twitter is authorized & synced and listed as one of the autosync accounts, but Twitter doesn't show up in the Filter options at all.
Is this not possible on Xperia phones?

of course it s possible.
maybe these s something wrong with twitter app or integrated twitter in xperia.
try to reinstall it.
i had problem with twitter on Xperia Z1
cannot connect built-in twitter! But after few days it connected.
i didn't do any special things, only reinstall twitter app 2-3 times.
:good:
Sadly reinstalling Twitter multiple times doesn't help.
Do you see Twitter listed under Contacts > menu > Filter > Display Contacts? Because I don't.
Edit: I should also add that the Contacts > Settings > Show Status Updates option is greyed out and not selectable.

I synced my google calendar successfully weeks ago. Now i added some public calendars (e.g. world cup) for google calendar. It shows me all the calendars i am using on the pc.
but when i sync it with my desire, it doesn't refresh correctly the list of the calendar i am using right now (e.g. i can't see the world cup calendar).
what can i do..?
is there a way to wipe the old entries on my mobile to do a new and full sync..?
thx for the help!
no idea..? ;(
If you look at the Calendar section in the "Flaws & Annoyances" thread at the top of the listings (it's a sticky), you'll see it's a known issue with some Google calendars.
I posted a workaround here.
Matt
thank u for ur reply.
i add the calendar in ur link and got a new calendar in google. it opens the google calendar in the browser (not the phone calendar).
but it is still the same, it doesnt show it in my calendar on my desire. it still doesnt sync the calendar list..
hmm...
I had the same - Clearing all caches and data relating to Calendars and calendar storage etc sorted it for me. Takes a while to come back though.

Does anyone know of a better contacts manager? Hopefully one that can show google groups. I would really like the ability to link my Facebook friends with my contacts, sort of like the way the HTC Sense and Moto Blur does it.
I don't know if there's one that does what you want, but there is "Contacts GroupU" that works with Groups, and "Star Contacts" that is more of a stock replacement. I use both.
I may not fully understand your question but you can add your facebook contacts through the contacts settings. I did it on accident and my contacts were flooded with everyone in my facebook friends. If that is what you are looking for, you do it through contacts}settings}display options.
If this isn't what you are, good luck.

The stock contacts can be linked with facebook and twitter, just sign in to the apps and there are options to sync your contacts. If they do not automatically sync you can manually link the contacts, contacts > edit contact > menu > join.
I do think sense did a better job of automatically matching contacts than the stock contacts app on Froyo, I had to manually link more contacts on the G2 than on the Mytouch Slide.
The default contacts does it.. But there is a app in the market "phonebook 2.0" you should check it out

hahahaha best joke ever
Contacts+
Contacts+ is fairly good contact manager.

Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?
Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.

How do I exactly do that?
Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks
OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!
When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?
no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.
Do you have SNS installed?

Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.
Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..
EDIT:
NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~
hi there
i think i have a same problem like u before
but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try
it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends
sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name
if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture
since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way
notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.
hope it helps
Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..
Just figured out that I can link contacts in my phone with their facebook profiles. Problem is, I have like 200 phone numbers and like 90% of them have facebooks. Is there a way to auto link them?

not sure about on your current ROM. In the CM series, the contacts are linked automagically with Facebook profiles. You could try in your ROM as well.
To get the picture to sync, open your Contacts app, select a contact, Menu > Edit, and scroll down to the bottom, see if there is a Facebook account linked. If so, tap the picture and select "Use this picture". Save the changes and Exit.
This will only work, of course, after you add a Facebook account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Facebook), which only works if Facebook app is installed.
The method above will also sync the pictures anytime they change (ie, if your friend changes their profile pic, the change will sync to your phone).
Gmail automatically adds contacts you've emailed into your contact list, they belong to "All Contacts" group.
Manually added contacts belong to "My Contacts" group.
But I couldn't get the phone to display *only* "My Contacts". (Contacts -> Hide/Show -> Google...)
Tried Googling the issue, solutions available but don't seem to work on Defy/Motorola.
Any idea?
Thx in advance.
Anyone...?
I have the same problem, which I posted to the Motorola Owners forums as well, only I don't just want to not display those contacts, but prevent then from syncing as well. I can't yet post working links:

After syncing my new Defy with my Google account, I've found all the contacts in the phone - not just the meaningful ones from My Contacts that have phone numbers and names - but every last single email address has created a separate contact in the phone.
My question is this: how can I limit the synced contacts to a group, like My Contacts in GMail?

So far, I have not found a way to limit the display or the syncing of these contacts.
There are 2 apps for contacts, the one that is embedded in the dialer (the one that SUCKS), and the other is a stand alone Contacts which allows yo Manage groups in a certain way. I'd like to have good one embedded in the Dialer next to Recent and Favorites.. but im no dev. An certainly is annoying having to switch between them.
