Dear all members,
I am trying to link up my contacts with Facebook and Phonebook, some contacts are ok but some contact when you link up, it will store the contact name in their Facebook instead of the name in the phonebook.
And there are some contacts, it will just store the name in phonebook instead of facebook so it is very confusing and messy.
Anyone has the same problem and any workaround solution?
same problem here.
No solution yet.
This is what I found so far.
1. If your phonebook has the same first name with facebook, it will use completely facebook name.
Example: phonebook name john, facebook name john doe. It will show you John Doe.
2. If you have different first name, ofcourse you have to join it manually, it will show you the name from your facebook.
Example: phonebook name Doe, facebook name John Doe, you will have to join it manually and it will show you your phonebook name.which is Doe.

Hi there!
Does anyone knows how work the sync of contacts (Photo, Status) on version 2.1? Some contacts automatically sync with facebook and some others not. I already try to add the e-mail editing the contact and trying to sync again but nothing.. the same contacts are syncronized. The software match them by name, by e-mail or how does it work?
Long press the contact and press join. Then you can select the corresponding FB account to associate.
You're right! Thank you so much! Greetings from Mexico.
haven't got the update yet...waiting for UK generic
is FB integration done by default? or can we disable it...as I don't really want it.
but when I have just nick name (not like in FB) it cant find and give me different friend suggestion. how to add manully FB contact to phone book contact.
thx
You can Long-press and select "join", or select the contact, edit it, press Menu and select "join"
You can join contacts from your phonebook, facebook, twitter, google, last.fm, skype, whatsapp, etc.
I just have a problem, when joining contacts that does not have the same name, it ends up showing the name that's further down in the alphabet.
Don't think anyone's gonna fix that, but I sure hope someone does fix it.
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 am using both timescape and facebook android app in my X10
Facebook app allows me to chat and other stuffs but doesn't allow me to type more than 160 chars in status update.(check it out if u haven't yet) whereas timescape allows me to type more chars and at the same time when we update in timescape, it says 'via sonyericsson X10' in fb.
But the problem is. since i am using FB via android app and timescape, i am having two FB accounts in each contact of ma phonebook - same ones repeated twice.
(one says Facebook-my mail id and other facebook- timescape)
is there anyway in removing timescape integration with the phonebook?
just uncheck on the settings to phonebook not to synch to fb android, while check synch to timescape.
if you just want to remove your timescape facebook on your contacts just go to your contacts, then on the upper left hand side next to the search button, click the button with the three heads, then under display contact click the facebook timescape and a drop down menu will show and uncheck the contacts.
I tried that too, all contacts under timescape is unchecked, but still when i go to edit contacts i can stil see two fb accounts and when viewing a contact also, there are two mail ids and phone nos.
help me out guys...
Hello everyone, first time to post or ask a question although I've always found all i'm seeking through this forum and it's more than awesome, but i face a little problem...
The problem is as following, some contacts i have on my contact list are stored with another name than the name on facebook, ex: "John (Jazz Club)" isn't getting merged automatically with "John Lynn", specially when he's not showing the email on the facebook page to be stored once and every time i re-flash a ROM and sync, i get the contacts merged, i got hundreds of contacts not merged and seperated (my contact list are over 2k :S), and don't ask me to rename the contact cause i will never remember who the hell is John Lynn
I've imported facebook contacts via yahoo, exported and imported via gmail and the facebook section in the contacts with the profile name is shown in the contact online but still when i sync facebook contacts they are still separated.
What i need or what i wish there is, a method to add some sort of a link on the gmail contacts for the facebook profile, so whenever i flash a new ROM and sync facebook and gmail contacts, they got merged automatically
OR
an application that does some sort of a combined backup with the both contacts and it needs aswell to import all the newly added contacts on gmail into it, is there something like that ?
sorry if i complicate stuff but if you saw how the contact list looks it will scare the @*#$ out of you
Try long pressing the contact and then "join contact" then you can pick it manually.

I think he knows about the Join Contact option, what the OP is asking is if there is any way to store in Google Servers that action for future restores of his contact list.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exactly Zedread, join contacts just join the interface of the two contacts together and as soon as you flash a new ROM it's all wasted, i need a method for a "once and for all" merge, either on the Gmail servers or by an application that works stand alone
No Hope guys ???
Hi All,
Looking for a solution to an issue which is bugging me...
Linking contacts in the phonebook to the facebook contact, displays their picture on your contact list - great!
However, if you then log out of facebook, the phone breaks the connection and you lose all the pictures.. and have to go through and manually connect the contacts again.
Is there any way to actually IMPORT the pictures to the phone contact, so it doesn't lose them when you log out of facebook?
Or any other work around?
I like an organised, uniform contacts list!
Thank you,
I downloaded an app called "Facebook contact Sync" from the play store instead of using the facebook app's way. Works flawlessly, only thing is you have to rename your contacts to their facebook profile's name.
And if you log out of Facebook do the pictures stay?
