I am simply trying to hide my Facebook and Linkedin contacts. Here are the steps I've taken with no luck:
Flashed 198_7 sbf (long overdue)
Wiped all data (long overdue)
Synced gmail contacts
Added Facebook and LinkedIn accounts to phone for easy status updates
After all contacts have synced in contacts app, I tapped menu -> display options -> unchecked "all contacts" for both Facebook and LinkedIn
A few FB and Linkedin contacts disappeared but most of them are still being displayed
Any other suggestions?
Not sure if this would help but if they are linked to current contacts on your phone, you can go into each contact hit edit, then the menu button. There should be an option to separate their Facebook and other social media accounts from your existing google contacts.
Also under menu> accounts & sync, you should see your facebook and other accounts and most social media accounts have an option to sync contacts, sycn all or just with ones on your phone or none. Unchecking this box may help.

Also what rom are you using? Stock, blur based, cm7 or cm9? I know that when I first got an android each and playing with different rooms, each contacts menu was a little different as far as the settings go and it may be easier to help know which one you are using.

The facebook app that comes with the phone isn't really an app, it is just friendstream, no? When I signed it, it downloaded ALL of my contacts instead of just those with a matching entry in my phone which I can do with the Facebook app. How do I change that?

can you not find the official facebook app in the market? I personally use Bloo as my FB Client and just sync my FB contacts through Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add new > Facebook
I can but want to understand what the integrated solution does
Go to the Sync option remove your facebook there and then add it again it will ask for the option if you want to sync matching contacts or all of them.

Add Facebook or Facebook for myTouch? Regular Facebook doesn't do anything when pressed. Facebook for myTouch doesn't give me the option.
Thx
Use facebook for mytouch, after doing that wait for some time and it will notify you that you havd contactd simmilar to your fb account and if you wanna sync them

Go to your contact list, click menu and view. It will let you decide which acccounts you want it to show in your contact list.
Facebook for Mytouch never syncs contacts for me, it gives me the "sync is having problems now" message. Anyone experience this?
Mine worked fine but there is an option under the contacts settings to make only contacts with phone numbers show. That is really nice.
I disabled this cause even when I select use google pic, some how a few contacts would still revert to facebook over time. Too frustrating for me.
Now that we have perma root... does anyone know if removing the facebook for mytouch app will cause any problems? I would like to pull it off and put on the market version. I plan on making a backup and trying it myself but was wondering if anyone had any insight before I try.
Is anyone else having this problem. this is very very important to me. it synced and then disappeared.
Mine is syncing. I sync my outlook work calendar to Google which syncs with phone. I had same setup on my evo 4g. I did not change anything in this setup.
Edit: I have accepted all otas

I wish the HTC email widget synced in real time like gmail does...there's a slight delay in that my gmail account gets it first and then the htc widget has to wait 5 mins...is there a way to sync the htc email as email comes in?
Mine syncs fine. No OTA.

I had issues with my gmail account syncing, then I realized that, somehow, I had not checked the box to sync gmail.
Check and make sure it's not something in your settings
I have multiple gmail calendars that all synced fine previously on my EVO 4g. Now, in the calendar app I only see the primary google calendar, not all the rest of my google calendars. The old HTC album allowed you to select which calendars, and add calendars to the list that are not actively being shown. after scratching around for 15min, I could find no such option to add the rest of my google calendars. I know they are visible, other programs acknoledge their presence. I have not done the OTA, but I may be doing it to see if it fixes this problem.
anyone that HAS done the OTA have difficulty with seeing multiple google calendars in HTC calendar app? anyone without the OTA have the same issue?
EDIT: did the OTA, still only see my primary google calendar, not all the other ones. anyone seeing more than one google calendar in the calendar app and know how to resolve? TIA.
did ota and made sure it was checked and still nothing. same problem as guy above me. anyone know of any fixes for this?
Had the same problem with my Fascinate, but found a fix. BEFORE you activate the device, any calendars you wish to sync MUST be viewable in the web version (i.e. load google cal, and click on each calendar you want access to on your roid so that that are all viewed at once). After this, go ahead and do the initial device setup. If you have calendars you want access to but dont want to view all the time, you can turn them off within your roids cal app.
new calendars that you add/create after initial setup seem to pull fine though. unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to fix this AFTER your main gmail account is already added to the device. The only way to fix it at that point is to factory reset. Worked for me, hope it helps!
I entered in my Facebook account and it started uploading all my friends and added like 700 more contacts. Certainly didn't want that so I unchecked all the contacts stuffed went into people and unchecked Facebook there. I they all went away however when I am picking a contact when I start a message it shows all of the Facebook numbers again. I it did the same thing on my girlfriends rhyme as well and she'd like a solution too. Thanks in advance

Google+ is part of your Google Account. All of your cantacts are synced together under that account. There is no way to separate it, even if you didn't have G+ on the phone.

You entered your Facebook account info into your phone, and it started uploading your contacts to Facebook? Did you mean downloading your Facebook contacts to your phone? Yes, it does that. The People app in Sense loves to suck in ALL your contacts and combine them (it calls it "linking" and you can see what contacts it has linked for you in the Settings menu.) The Messages app pulls from that same database, and I couldn't find a way to restrict it either.
Have you tried Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Facebook and uncheck "Contacts?" You may have to remove the account entirely, uncheck auto-sync long enough to get the account added, and then uncheck the Contacts box. Just a guess, I haven't tried it.
Yeah that didn't stop it from appearing when I would view contacts through a new text. I just completely removed the account seems fine now.

Hrm my Facebook only synced with my existing contacts - it's an option in the Facebook app
Also I have like 9000 people on Google+ but they aren't in my phone either....
not sure what you guys are doing to get them all
I don't have 9,000 people on G+ because I am not a whore, lol. But, there are options in both the apps and contacts to only sync with existing contacts, only add people with numbers, etc...
If you have 9,000 friends on G+ they are not your friends. I have been on since day 0 and have slightly over 100 people I know in real life
Apparently there's a big Facebook app update today so hopefully that helps.

G+ is more like Twitter for me, I follow people I don't consider "friends" simply because I want to read what they have to say. I have a separate circle for real Friends (capital-F!)
Anyway, the person who was complaining about G+ contacts showing on his phone may have been noticing them in Talk, because the Big G just decided to default all your G+ circles into Talk contacts unless you go in and deselect them. I don't think there's any way to integrate G+ into your phone contacts.
My G+ contacts are linked with their various phone contacts. But of course, all of my contacts have been backed up to Google and GMail since before Android even existed.

They're linked with existing contacts, yeah. But I don't know if it imports from Google+ contact info for non-local or non-Google people. In other words, if the only place you've got info for someone is a Google+ circle, I think that's where they'll stay. Once you send them an email, though, if your GMail account is set to auto-add to contacts, it'll offer you the chance to link the G+ contact and the Google contact.
This seems like it makes sense to me, because the people I have in my G+ circles that I don't have any other contact info for do NOT show up on my phone or in GMail.
This has become a slight problem for me since getting the LG bluetooth headset.
When using the speak function (like "dial John Doe"), for some reason the dialer is misunderstanding me and gaining access to my facebook contacts' phone numbers and dialing some random person.
Under people app, I do not have facebook contacts added to my phonebook. Really confused on how it is gaining access to facebook contact's numbers...
Any suggestions?
If you go into the facebook app, under settings, under contacts sync, what do you have checked off? Make sure "all" isn't checked.
I had it set to sync existing. Though it seems it is still adding all the contacts to my phone under the facebook label. I thought sync existing only added those that I already had in my gmail. It seems its all or nothing....?

I haven't actually tried any of these ideas, but I think one might help, and they're pretty low risk:
Method 1: Toggle Facebook Sync
In Facebook app, settings, Other Settings, Contacts Sync, change setting from 'Sync all' or 'Sync with Existing Contacts' to 'Remove Facebook Data'
Hit the 'Sync/Done' button at top-right
Check your contacts and verify that photos/links have been removed
Return to FB app, same place, change setting back to 'Sync All' or 'Sync with Existing Contacts'
Method 2: Delete Contacts and Re-sync
If Method 1 doesn't work, try this. This method assumes that your contacts exist only in the cloud (e.g., on gmail, exchange server, etc.) and not locally, and thus can be re-synched easily. IF YOU HAVE ANY LOCAL CONTACTS THIS WILL DELETE THEM.
- Follow steps 1 and 2 above
- Exit the Facebook app
- Go to System Settings-> More -> Application Manager, swipe right until you see 'All'
- Scroll down to Contacts Storage and click on it
- Click on <Clear Data> and <Clear Cache>
- At this point, I'd reboot the device
- After re-boot, your contacts should re-sync from outside sources, (if they don't, go to System Settings-> Accounts and click on the account where your contacts are (e.g., Google) and the account name and it should sync)
- Follow Step 4 in Method 1 above
I found that you have to edit the contacts. If you have them attached to a gmail or outlook account then they default to that picture. I've had to edit a lot of my contacts bc of this.

I use the Sync.ME app. It downloads hi-res Facebook pictures and you can set it to run automatically on a regular basis.

+1 for Ubersync. Works great, except I wish it didn't create an "Ubersync" account in my phone, but other than that, works great.
