I have sync my phonebook contacts with facebook have a few problems
1. i go in to edit a contact and it says (Facebook contact info is not editable on this device) or i get Timescape Plugin Manager contact info is not editable on this device
2. synced photos are of poor quality and blured
Thanks in advance folks
I think the faacebook info is read only - there's no sync back to facebook account, but you can import to the phone. I don't know if it helps, but I was having a similar issue trying to add facebook accounts to my phone contacts. I ended up pressing the "3 people" icon in top left of contacts page, then under "Display contacts" select "Phone contacts" and "Facebook" contacts (note you may have facebook twice, once for your timescape and another for facebook app???). Anyhoo now you can long press a phone contact and join the facebook contact with your phonebook contact.
I couldn't find a way of even copying and pasting the facebook contact email address into my phone contact, as I said, it seems to be a one-way sync! I'd be pleased to be proved wrong ....

I have a question about removing group from the phonebok that were already removed bij an app.
This is what happened:
I installed Contacts GroupU in order to give a lot of contacts the same ringtone.
Because I ran into some problems showing the groups in my phonebook I deleted them.
Now that I figured out how to show contacts in a group in my phonebook I noticed that the old groups are still listed under the Display Groups option in the phonebook. (Sync Groups)
I've installed 3 different group tools, but none of them shows the previously remov group.
Anyone who can tell me how to remove those groups from the list?
I also had some groups that were linked to Gmail, but after deletion there still in the list to.
Even though I do not see them in Gmail.
So I have the same prolem there.
Backup your contacts first. Then og in your gmail account with PC. Delete all contacts in gmail contacts account. Restore your contacts previously backuped.create your contact group again. Sync with gmail.. Done.

Thanks, that will fix my Gmail groups.
But I also have a few double entries under the Phone Contacts.
Any thoughts on how to delete those.
I've deleted them with Contacts GroupU but they are still visible under View Contacts menu - Display Contacts - Phone Contact.
Try make setting don,t auto sync. Actually I hate this auto sync feature too.
And in view contact just tick phone contact only. So changes we make in phone will sync to gmail contact. Not gmail to phone contacts

It is in View Contacts - Phone Contacts that I have double group entries.
I am not able to delete those double entries.
It looks like the apps I used didn't delete the groups properly.
So now I would like to know how to delete those entries.
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.
It would seem that my phone has synced just about 90% of my facebook contacts. There are a few contacts on my google contacts I'd like to like to their facebook profile but when I look to join them, the facebook contact doesn't show up. This isn't the case with ALL the contacts, just seems to be a handful. Any suggestions?
i had this same issue. i had to goto my contacts, hit edit, then select "join contacts" and then select the FB contact you wanted to merge with the phone book contact. you may need to display both phone (google contacts) and FB contacts first. from there, its just a matter of doing the legwork.
How do i sync contacts with facebook pictures without getting ALL my friends from facebook to the phone.
"Sync existing contacts only" doesnt work. Mine just syncs all my FB friends numbers to my phone.. and doesnt even update the contacts picture on phone..
same problem....but some contacts were updated and some others not
i have had this problem as well, and there is a small work-a-round when in the contacts menu i go to Options > Visible contacts > Edit , and simply only have the desired contacts show up.
as for your picture problem, i have always done this by hand simply merging the contact with the corresponding facebook account
Yeah thats a workaround, but then when you start typing receiver in text messages for example, random people from facebook with number pops up.. kind of annoying.
SyncMyPix, is a app that does the job but i would want FB native app to do the job..
If anyone knows, please share!
I have all of my contacts stored in gmail contacts online.
In the course of trying to tidy up contacts on my phone, deleting duplicate/unnecessary info and 'joining' multiple accounts (mostly gmail, facebook and whatsapp) I had a bit of a Homer Simpson moment managed to delete all of my contacts (D'Oh!!).
Fortunately, as I said above I have them in gmail contacts online and had also exported them to my SD card as a vcard and so have managed to get them back (albeit having to tidy them up again).
Here's the thing though, when I go to the Contacts menu item 'Contacts to display' the contacts show when All Contacts or Gmail account are selected, but when I select Phone contacts in 'Contacts to display' the list is empty.
How do I move/copy my gmail contacts so that they are held in the actual phone memory and displayed if I opt to display Phone contacts only (i.e. no longer link to my gmail contacts)?
Cheers in advance,
Rich
I think what you need to is to sync your contact again. Contact to display is only show if your phone have a contact that is available in your gmail contact only.
copy contacts to phone only

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think you've misunderstood my original question. I have got the contacts visible when I view all contacts or view gmail contacts, but there is an option in the contacts menu to view contacts on phone only (i.e. not those stored in gmail contacts). When I use that option I don't see any of my contacts. Therefore, what I need to be able to do is copy the contacts across from gmail contacts so they are visible in the phone contacts only view, but I can't figure out how to copy them across to the phone.
Never had to do it on either my s2 or s3 before. I did do it on my old HTC via a menu option along the lines of 'Copy contacts to phone' but there isn't a menu option like that on the s3 unless I'm missing something obvious.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers.
