We all know it is there but if you ask me two functions are missing so is there a way to enable them.
1. Linking my contacts with facebook contacts that do not have mobile phone number present. I can only link facebook accounts if any phone number is added.
2. Linking contacts with FB pages, for example my gym has a facebook page and I would liek to link that to the gym number.
Thx
click new contact, scroll right to the bottom and click link with facebook
it comes up with all your facebook friends and you can have them in your contacts list without any other information
this way the contacts show up in the manila facebook tab and you get their status and album updates

No they do not. I can not link any of the FB pages they just do not show up.
Half of my friends do not show up as well.
try the refresh button.... always works perfect for me
mayby try when on a wifi connection?
I'll play with it today however even if it works it is not the best way. I do not think that pim backup or outlook save facebook linking information.

Hello,
I heard that facebook application updates its contact display pic with facebook display pics ? Mine doesnt do so , is that because of andriod 1.6 or somthin elc stopping to do so? any other software which does the same?
go to contacts, press app button, show updates and you can select either facebook, twitter or both (you need to link the contacts from phone and fb)
to link contacts, go to timescape, look for the contact spline, click on the infinity button, addcontact, and select from your contacts list
It says on the official site you can sync facebook pics with contacts, how can I do that?

you need android 2.1 and facebook for android. login press the button sync to contacts
For anyone who still has 1.6 you can use 'SyncMyPix' which does the same thing.
Note: The name in your phonebook has to be identical to the name on facebook.
Other program is Facebooksync there you can choose which phone contact to sync with facebook profile picture.
Do not need any 3rd-party app.
Just upgrade to 2.1, then update the pre-installed Facebook app with Android Market.
At the first time you start FB App, it will ask you whether to sync your facebook contacts with your phone contacts or not. Let it sync.
When the sync is completed, open your Contacts. Click on the contact that you want to change the Contact Picture ~> click on Edit Contact ~> press Menu button and choose Join contact. Then choose your Facebook contact that related with the current contact.
Done, the contact picture will automatic change to FB profile picture. Any update to FB profile picture will effect to the user contact picture automatically.
Hope this help

problem with this is, i have 1300 friends. and what it did was, it added all 1300 friends and put it in my phone book, how annoying!
Go to FB App Settings, Sync Contacts, and check the option Sync with existing contacts.
Hope this help!

That's the exact reason I didn't sync it. Same with the facebook profile photos.

Thanx mate. Was looking for this, for my wife's mini pro.
Much easier on my X10i.
Thanx.
It would be pretty great if someone developed an app or something so you can have all your facebook contacts seperate from your personal contacts,
or if it was an option under the contacts menu
Just a thought...
You do not need an app for this. The phone already does this. Just sync your facebook and then under contacts you go in to the options and select "get friends" choose facebook and select all those you want to transfer to your contacts list. You then can put them in their own group or join them with their phone number and google account.
so this will not interfere with my personal contact list at all?
i DO NOT want facebook and personal contacts together.
You will have to sync your FB contacts, tell your phone to not show them in the contacts via Contats>Menu>Display Options.
Then when you want to only look at your Facebook contacts, from the Contacts app, click group, scroll down to "All Facebook Contacts."
It doesn't really accomplish anything, other than making you look in two places for information.
You also could use a Facebook Live Folder on your Home Screen if you want.
I have mine set so my contacts store their Gmail and Facebook on their contact profile. I can then just go to contacts and pick a person. Then I can click on updates in the right corner and it displays Facebook posts from my contacts. Its pretty nice.
Hello,
I recently purchased the Galaxy S2 phone and one things that annoys me is that if you have a friends that belongs in multiple social networks, you can't join them all to his main phone contact. For example i have a friend's gmail contact on my contact list and i want to join his other contacts from facebook, twitter, last.fm, skype, myspace, whatsapp, linkedin etc.. (for those who don't know, by installing the official social app on your android you get the option to list those contacts on your phone contact list)... Well the problem is that when i try to join a 6th contact i get the message "unable to join contact. maximum number of joined contacts is 5"
I know most of you will problably say use another app for your contacts but i really wanna know if anyone finds it annoying and has found workaround... maybe a tweak to increase the limit, an upgrade or another app that adresses this issue....I really don't wanna use a 3rd party app for my contact list...
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dennis
Any ideas anyone?
I am interested too, I find it weird you can only merge 5 account...
I guess you can't?
I am interested too, someone in my contact has many social account T T
You can try and do it in gmail rather than your phone

I don't mean gmail contacts i mean gmail conacts with other social network contacts...for example a gmail contact with facebook, skype, linkedin, twitter last.fm etc...
i would be interested as well.
i use google contacts, facebook, twitter, google+, skype and facebook is listed twice, once for its own app, once for social hub and i recently found, some of my contacts that in fact use all the services cannot be merged into one contact anymore, as that would mean, merging 6 contacts.
the sgs2 has great social networking integration, but why set this stupid limit that serves no one? the feature of merging contacts is supposed to combine all online activity of one person into one contact.
+1 on this..
There should be some way to increase the counter on the number ( or remove it completely) for the number of contacts that can be joined..
As the number of social/communication apps grow so do the contacts on those that you would want to link
Anyone has the fix to unlock the 5 contacts limits?
I'm looking forward for this fix too
I have the T-Mobile SGS2, but I found this thread looking for the same answer. I found this feature request though on the android project that anyone wanting this feature should probably star and add a comment on to convince them to add it...
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16735
i could develop it partially now, I could remove the limit, but when I make the order to join it said "contacts joined" but actually nothing happened!
so i am working on it to find the problem
i will post in SGSII developing section once it is done
so stay close
check it out

I couldn't figure out why the facebook one is listed twice - I was going crazy!! Should both be joined?
Also, I have a contact that has a twitter account and when I click on "join contact" I don't see their twitter account to select to join... how do I do this?
Thanks!
Maria
current the stock contact doesn't allow that, but i have seen it work on an EVO3D.
i really need a fix for this issue, anyone to help ????

Go to twitter settings and under other settings choose sync all for "Contact settings"
Go to your contacts app and the twitter contact should be there now to link to other contacts (if not then press the menu hard key, go to more, display options, and tick all contacts under twitter)
Once you're done syncing, you can untick display all twitter contacts to hide unnecessary ones and can go back to twitter and change contact sync to existing contacts to minimise data usage
Also social hub is a stupid app, just replicates what the official facebook app does, if i were you I would remove your facebook account from social hub and you won't have duplicate facebook contacts then
I just received my Atrix yesterday, and have been playing around with it for a while to see if I like MotoBlur enough to want it in a custom ROM.
I'm on orange stock 2.3.4 and have set up my MotoBlur account and Facebook account. Now the Facebook widget has connected successfully as I can send a status using the home-screen widget. However i cannot find how to link my contacts to there appropriate Facebook profiles to get contact pictures etc.
Am I missing an easy trick here - are they supposed to update automatically? Or do I need to link them?
Thanks,
I believe some contacts does link automatically (when name and email from google match the facebook record). If they are not, you will need to join contacts.
1) go to contacts, select the contact, "menu", Edit contact.
2) "menu", Join
3) select the contact you want to Join
4) "menu", Save
You also need to add Facebook account to your contact "app". And if you find that you have some contacts that are doubled up.. one facebook one not then you just join them as above

How do I 'add Facebook account to my contact "app" I can't find where i'm supposed to add contacts from Facebook in my contacts? I'm running GingerBlur 6.1 by the way.
Thanks for all your help!
Do you live in Dom. Rep? i live here and also got my atrix yesterday.. the facebook widget syncs perfectly over wifi... i still havnt unlocked the phone..
Nope, I'm in the UK. I think it must be a problem with the MotoBlur servers over here maybe? Not entirely sure, but I've tried three different ROMs and still no luck.
I also have the newer Facebook layout which may be affecting it?
It's not such a big deal now as I'm using FriendCaster to sync my contacts.
pull up your contacts press the menu button and go to accounts inside the accounts press menu again and add account ie facebook
you should see one more screen in between these two and add account option is at the bottom of that page
Thanks for all your help - I had already set up my Facebook account successfully as I could set a status using Blur. Was a strange problem, but all of a sudden it's decided to work and all of my contacts have now synced to my phone, and I'm receiving status updates from my contacts now instead of just links etc.
Maybe I just wasn't giving it long enough to sync properly - thought it'd do it within an hour, but I guess not... Thanks again!
