Hi guys,
I just got a htc legend, i was wondering if i could just sync Facebook details only to existing contacts?
Its currently syncing my whole Facebook friends list.
Thanks.
Well on mine it's here
Go to the facebook App-> Menu -> Settings -> Sync Contacts
Choose Sync With existing contacts.

The problem is, mine won't show those settings. After notification ringtone, it says other settings and its cut off from there.

I have searched and searched for this answer and I cannot find one that will work. I am new to android and this is causing me issues!!
I setup my google account and do not want my google contacts syncing. Other threads I have found say go into setting and uncheck syc contacts box and it will no longer sync. but I dont have a box to uncheck? Is there a way to just sync gmail mail and not the contacts? If there is please please please tell me how.
settings - accounts and settings - select the google account - THEN you will see checkboxes
mine does not give me that option. the only options it gives me is touch contacts to sync now. there are no boxes even visible to check or uncheck
It is in phone settings (or Settings app), not gmail settings.
Thats what I am saying, I go into settings, accounts and sync, choose my gmail account. it gives me the following options
sync books
sync contacts
sync gmail
sync calendar
below each of them it says touch to sync now. There are no boxes, i dont see where it give me the options to change the settings for any of them

settings button on bottom next to home screen- accounts and sync- uncheck auto sync.
You will see your account under manage accounts.
So then why don't you just click 'sync gmail'?
im trying to get it to stop syncing contacts. Its like its set up by default and I cannot get it to quit syncing the contacts

You have Auto-sync turned off. That's why you don't see the check boxes because you are not automatically sync anything.
Go back to account and sync screen and check the box 'Auto-sync'. Now you will see check boxes on all the items under your Gmail account.
ugh!!! your a genius!! Thank you, Im sorry for the ingorance. Coming from an Iphone, this is all very new to me.

Hi
I have all my facebook contacts sync'ed to my device (with MiniCM7Pro V21) but my fb contacts with numbers doesn't show on Whatsapp.
I have to manually make new contacts on the phone so that Whatsapp can see them.
Is there a way that Whatsapp can 'see' my fb contacts?
Anyone with some thoughts?

Try this,
goto settings > account and sync > whatsapp > (menu) > remove account ( This will NOT remove anything of you WhatsApp' data, just refresh them)
then add WhatsApp account again
now launch WhatsApp and wait to until the contacts are refreshed.
Reply if worked
( I felt that WhatsApp has some issue with android's FB contact sync)
On my previous galaxy s+ , I had connected my facebook contacts and their facebook photos with the contacts I had on the phone. So next to each contact there was a photo from facebook. How can I do this on sxs??? Thanks in advance.
You have to sync your contacts with facebook.. to do that do the following:
1.) In Facebook App go to Settings and at the bottom you can choose to sync with all facebook friends, existing contacts or none, choose existing contacts.
2.) Now you have to go to Settings > Account & Syncronization and create a new Facebook in Xperia Account. Now put on Auto-Sync and go into the Facebook inside Xperia account, there you have to tick the boxes away you don't want to use.

Nope. Nothing. There aren't any photos next to my contacts. Have you done it?
Hi All,
I'm trying to sync Facebook with my contacts (people), so I go to Accounts and Sync and add Facebook in. It directs me to the app and I choose 'Sync with existing contacts'. I only want it to link with the contacts on my phone, but after I press the sync button, it syncs ALL my Facebook contacts into my phone (All my friends on Facebook). WHY??? Anyone know how to sync and link with ONLY the contacts on your phone?
Thank, much appreciated!
wrong thread, sorry. can deleted

go to your contacts and hit the menu theres a setting in there to only display your contacts, its probably because htc has there own facebook sync so thats probably what your seeing.

I came across that answer somewhere too, but I can't find where you can hide the contacts you don't want in the menu. Can you direct me specifically?
Thanks!
This pic I just posted says it all!

Ahhh I see what you mean. But like when you go to the phone tab on the very left, all your facebook friend's contacts are there. I don't think you can get rid of this

Just let your Facebook manage your contacts in the Facebook app settings menu. Imho.
settings, accounts, facebook, sync might work?
Just go to your sync settings. You'll find it there.
in settings/account/facebook and sync
