Hi i got streakDroid 2.0.0 and when i go to contacts and then Account Settings, I
add my Google Account...works fine,
then I add my Twitter Account .... works fine.
Then i want to add my facebook Account, giving it my login data it works fine, the facebook apps open and i can use it like the way befor. But then the Facebook account is not in the List of the account. And in continue there are no Facebook contacts in my Contacts List. And this is sucks
When I go to Account Settings again and click "add facebook" it loads 1 second and bring me back to Account Screenm but again without the FB Account.
Can someone help me here?
I think this is more to do with a disagreement between Google and Facebook about contact sharing than a problem with the ROM. I think Google took integration out of the ROM for 2.3.3

Can anyone confirm if this is true!?
If this is true this is not nice. That was one of my Favorite Contacts Features...

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!
Can not sync Facebook account. If you go to settings\ Account and Sync, you can't add facebook account. The screen flashes and nothing happens. I tried to reinstall facebook app a few time. Doesn't work. This make games and apps that have facebook login feature stop working because you can't login. Anyone know of a remedy?
Same thing is happening with skype ..... any help

Is that an app or a root tool or etc? Description and a link would be helpful. Appreciate the suggestion though thanks!
I have set up a Gmail account as required to use the Google market.
I don't allow this email to backup my contacts etc. Just to be able to use the Google Market.
I need to to set up my primary Gmail account without having it linked to the device. The normal email account set up doesn't allow me to download attachments and is not stable.
How can i do this?
Thanks.
Are you using the gmail app from the market? Works fine for me. I have 2 gmail accounts.. 1 for market, 1 for other stuff, both work with the app.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I use the Gmail app from the market.
Once installed and before I enter my main Gmail account it asks me to resync, which I do.This brings up the default gmail account needed to run the phone.
Then I can add another Gmail account but it links it to the phone which I don't want it to do. I want to keep my main email account separate from the phone. i.e I don't want it to have all my details in the phone to be in my primary Gmail account. ( if that makes sense).

I am not sure I understand your problem entirely, but if it is of any help, you can choose what to sync and what not to sync to your account from the Settings-> Accounts.
Hi. I am new here.
I have problem with sync contacts from Facebook on my smartfon with Android 4.4.4 (Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE). It was working about 1 or 2 weeks ago, now doesn't work. Android doesn't download even 1 contacts from Facebook to his address book.
I logged out from Facebook application, deleted account Facebook from account in address book. Then added Facebook account again, logged in in Facebook application. Switch on sync all contacts and setup contacts to show for google account and Facebook account. Sync was completed and nothing was downloaded.
I don't know how can I fix this up.
PS: Facebook application was reinstalled, doesn't help..
PS2: application such sync.me doesn't download any FB contacts , too.
Seems like it probably has something to do with their new API. Check out the info for another FB contact sync type app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
Yes it is the api. After the change and the current tos from Facebook Google removed androids native sync options for Facebook.

You just need a 3rd party app to do it. Facebook is not really a big thing with alot of people I know so I really dont use it much and stopped syncing stuff from it when the TOS changed a while ago.
Test a few out in the play store. One of them is bound to work.
