Google Contacts Filter

Hi
I sync all my contacts from contacts.google.com to my hero phone.
know I have some Contacts that I don't wanna have on my phone. (As example the Google Wave bots I added)
Is there a possibility to block/filter some contacts to not sync to my phone?
greets
in Google contacts, you can create a new group. Then select the contacts you dont want synced and move them from My Contacts group to your new group. Make sure the contacts are no longer My Contacts.
this works for me.
Try the solution in this thread.

Syncing contacts with facebook

Is there a way to sync my contacts with facebook without adding all of my friends on facebook to my contact list?
Basically just sync the ones that are in my contact list already without adding everyone else that I dont want?
Hopefully thats clear, Thanks

[Q] Multiple google calendars

Hello there. I have a problem setting up multiple google calendars on my Lumia 920. All the manuals say that you should go to m.google.com/sync and choose what calendars to sync with your device. I know this method because that's how I used to do iy on my iphone. But when I visit the site from my Lumia it just redirects me to some useless help section. Has anybody managed to add multiple google calendars so far? Thank you in advance.

After some additional googling I've found this link:
https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/welcome?source=mobileproducts&hl=en
This one has worked as it should. Maybe it can be of some use for somebody else.
P.S. Screw you Google for making this so difficult.

I am not sure I understand this or may be I am mistaken.
But I have added three different Gmail accounts to my phone. When I go to Calendar, in the settings, it allows to select which calendars to show.
Also, each of this Gmail account allows me to sync emails, contacts and calendars (In settings, email accounts - click on each account you have)
Is this what you were asking?

No. He's asking how you choose multiple google calendars from a single google account to sync to your phone. I have about 8 linked calendars (I think - it's a big number) to my one google account, and I have 4 of them syncing to my WP8 phone.
You do it using the direct link, not the general m.google.com link which gets redirected incorrectly for WP8's browser, apparently.

I also have a standard google calendar which I got to working after yesterday's lost of sync. But I have one separate category for birthdays that doesn't get sync (not linked to google contacts). My main calendar that is my gmail's calendar works pretty nice with lumia 920, US holidays, Greek Holidays and name days get synced also, but the second calendar that I created with birthdays doesn't. If I don't find a solution soon I will incorporate birthdays into gmail's calendar. I don't want though as I mainly use as my calendar application the windows desktop vueminder (I believe best of its kind)and I have set different reminders, colors etc for the second calendar. Or I maybe incorporate birthdays into google contacts but at first I didn't because google displays birthdays as all day event and I didn't like it at that point.

Just let your Facebook manage your contacts in the Facebook app settings menu. Imho.
settings, accounts, facebook, sync might work?
Just go to your sync settings. You'll find it there.
in settings/account/facebook and sync
