hey...
i saw my frnds galaxy 3 with some custom rom...he had facebook pics in the dialler and also status updates when he called anyone....
i have a problem in Facebook synchronization...
i get all my facebook friends dp in my contacts but not wen i call them....
is der a way to atleast get facebook pics wen u call someone?
To achieve this, you mustn't link the contacts in your list with the contacts from the FB-app, but with the Facebook-account you can set up in the account-menu (in options, it's preinstalled!). Hope you unterstand what i mean ^^.
Basically what he means to say is that you need to go to Menu---> settings--> Accounts and sync & select their select facebook account. It would ask you to sync contacts, just check that box and you would have what you want.
hope that it helps
well i aready hav an account there....ive got two accounts , the one i created and the facebook-app account....so shall i delete the application account?
i didnt get u??
wat u mean by 2 accounts thats ur created
i mean i already have the facebook-application account and another account which i created in Accounts and sync settings.....so ive got two accounts der....
also i cant seem to sync the calender with fb....
i guess ill delete the application account and see wad happens....
Did you merge the Facebook accounts with your contacts? Should then show the blue Facebook-"f" in their description.
i guess the two diff a/c would be conflicting within each other... try removing it and let me know if u stil hav the prob
yes its done now ...thanx...
but birthdays dont sync with calender only the events do....
and when i call someone the facebook status update dosent show on the dialler...
For the birthday thing: i exported the birthadys from facebook (there's a link, not sure where) and imported them into my google calender.
export your contact from facebook using a desktop system and then update them to your google calender.
the next time google sync from your phone, it would be there

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.

I tried to sync my Facebook contacts through Motoblur but when I compared the facebook contacts on my phone to my facebook contacts in my FB account, there were some people didn't get sync'd to my phone... I've tried to delete the Facebook Motoblur account and add it again, but still the same people are not sync'd....
Any help???
ah I think I figure it out... the name in my phone contact has to be spelled the same as the name in my Facebook contact list. For example, one of my friends got married so she changed her last name on Facebook, but I still have her maiden name in my address book. The phone won't sync her Facebook to my phone so I can't even do an manual link... I can from the Captivate and I believe I was still able to do a manual link even if names are not exactly the same.... oh well I still like my Atrix over Captivate anyday.
Here's the deal.. for a long time now I've just been using the FB sync like everyone else.. worked great since I had everyone on FB that I use on my phone, and it's automatically updated, cant beat that...
.. till one of my friends decided to close his FB account and the sync.. removed all trace of him from my phone LOL Since the facebook app hadnt really "sync'd" my contacts, just displayed my friends IN my contacts.. there was never a copy made to my Google contacts
This lead me to wonder if there is anyway to automatically do a TRUE sync? where it actually stores it in google contacts as well, instead of just displaying it.
Only way for you to have synced is to manually add the contact to your google account. That way if you happen to delete the facebook account, the google account will still have all your contact info backed up.
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!
I just migrated from N900 to S3... I was using Hermes on N900 for contact sync and it added the facebook url to the contact details. Now i would like to install some application which just on the basis of that url, update *only* the contact picture. Is there some application available which can do this without hassle?
HaxSync
not working on the url basis... is the dev on xda ?? i would like to ask him about it?
You can also create a "facebook for sync" in account parameters... Works great for me..

I dont know how to create "facebook for sync" .. basically all i need is some app which go through the website section of a contact.. and update the profile pic on its basis... HaxSync seems not to be able to do that...
Don't know if the following works for your specific need but its worth a try:
Settings - accounts and sync -add account - add facebook account (or add facebook for syncing)
Then go to contacts - menu button - contacts to display - customised list - press facebook and choose what u want displayed.
I get contact pics synced from skype, gmail etc, can't really try facebook cause its blocked here...
