Dont think it has that option, but if you add the email address your fb friend uses facebook will be able to sync the information to that contact.
It's a pain to do it via the phone so i suggest you doing it on the computer with google contacts.
Yes, you can join contacts, just view the contact, press the menu key, edit contact, press the menu key again and you will find the join button

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.
It would be pretty great if someone developed an app or something so you can have all your facebook contacts seperate from your personal contacts,
or if it was an option under the contacts menu
Just a thought...
You do not need an app for this. The phone already does this. Just sync your facebook and then under contacts you go in to the options and select "get friends" choose facebook and select all those you want to transfer to your contacts list. You then can put them in their own group or join them with their phone number and google account.
so this will not interfere with my personal contact list at all?
i DO NOT want facebook and personal contacts together.
You will have to sync your FB contacts, tell your phone to not show them in the contacts via Contats>Menu>Display Options.
Then when you want to only look at your Facebook contacts, from the Contacts app, click group, scroll down to "All Facebook Contacts."
It doesn't really accomplish anything, other than making you look in two places for information.
You also could use a Facebook Live Folder on your Home Screen if you want.
I have mine set so my contacts store their Gmail and Facebook on their contact profile. I can then just go to contacts and pick a person. Then I can click on updates in the right corner and it displays Facebook posts from my contacts. Its pretty nice.
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!
Hi,
I have skype, whatsapp and a few other apps installed on the phone and their contacts are showing in the main contacts app. I use Google contacts as my main source for contacts.
I want only the contacts from my Google account to show. I can use the 'contacts to display' option to select the google account but this is not good enough as apps like gosms take all the address books available and uses them and as such is pulling old names from whatsapp etc.
How can I remove all the contacts from the contacts app with the exception of my google contacts. If I want a whatsapp or skype contact I will go in to the relevant app.
Please help!

Deleting whatsapp account just causes it to reappear and deleting skype is not possible, just gives a message saying I would need to wipe the phone to get rid of it.
Hi,
I've been using android device for about 3 years now and recently got a Nexus 4. I'm trying to figure out how to make my Google contacts as my primary contacts so that when I add other accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked, etc, I want to sync contacts in my other accounts that are on my Google contacts only. I don't want any other contacts on other accounts to be downloaded. Is this possible?
Thanks.
I don't have it in front of me and tried a couple of different version of OS, but if I'm not mistaking if you go in the settings under your contacts (or maybe in accounts) and you should be able to select with contact/account to show. Personally I only have my google account so I only show those contact but if you have ie. facebook you can also choose to show those contacts as well. Or even only contacts with phone number so in this case I don't get all the contacts in you inbox.
You can also try my favorite app that can be highly customized. Go Contacts...

Thanks. I guess you were right about the option to select which account is shown in the Phone app. I guess my problem was in the Viber contacts. I had the setting to Show All Contacts unchecked because it shows all contacts from LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter which are not on my Google. I noticed that only the Starred in Android are shown if I had this setting. I could set all my Google contacts as Starred in Android but maybe there's another way of doing this.
Sorry for being difficult.
