Ok so i started freezing things and i dont know if that has a link with whats happening. But either way i unfreezed everything and nothing. Before i had my FB account listed under the Accounts setting and i had all phone numbers from FB and pics synced with contacts on my phone. Now i lost those numbers and all pics. When i go to add account it shows FB checked and says i can only have one account at a time. But on the list it shows the Blur and google account and nothing more. Anyone know if theres a file that i can delete that will refresh that or any other fixes?

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.
Hi,
I have never had a problem with synching until recently . Now I can see many contacts sitting in my gmail contact list that simply will not move to the phone when i do a synch. It used to be as easy as adding a new contact and then over it would go.
I have tagged all my contacts in SYSTEM GROUP ; MY CONTACTS and also MY CONTACTS in gmail
I have the android set to showing these groups in display options under gmail and then I have also checked everything else under PHONE and SIM too iun an effort to get contacts to appear !! .
No matter what I do I cannot for the life of me do a total / clean synch so that all 300+ contacts show in my phone .
What am I now missing that I never missed before ?
I have tried deleting all the contact data on the phone and when i resynched same thing - i get some of the contacts but not all.
I am rooted and have remove some bloatware but I am pretty sure I have not removed any system apps etc.
Can anyone help ? I have googled extensively but found nothing. thanks
Calender does not seem to be syncing either if i put events in gmail ?????
MAil not synching either. Is it google ????
Is auto sync on?
Hey,
I'm pretty sure your internal memory is full. Just delete any unwanted apps.

Make sure in accounts that your auto sync is on and go into the acct and see of the boxes are checked.
Also go on your gmail acount and check how many contacts you have.
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!
The contacts app from the S9+ lets you move contacts.
I needed this because I had some contacts in my google account as well as in the phone.
I noticed this when I went to edit such a contact, on the top of the screen I had two buttons, one for showing the information saved in the phone and another one for information in my google account.
I wanted to get rid of the contacts in the phone, so I choose the option to move the contacts.
If I go to edit such a contact I do not see the two buttons anymore, instead my google account is displayed on the top notifying this is a google account. So far, so good.
But when I choose to see the phone contacts I still have the same 62 contacts from phone in the list as I had before. Although it shows those 62 contacts with their google information and if you edit them, you're editing the google info.
How can I get rid of those 62 accounts in the list, some information does not seem to be moved.
