So I have contacts from facebook (I only add people I know). Some of these contacts have the peoples number and some don't. I can't edit a facebook contact it says to add a number. So instead I have a facebook contact and a phone contact with the exact same name but with the number. How can I merge these? I'm sure I'm not alone on this.
Open the phone number contact. Hit menu, edit, menu again, then join.

I hear you..as far as I know that's the only way to do it unless your contact names are are listed exactly the same as the Facebook names.

I found out you can merge them when you sign into your Gmail account on the computer

This is what I did. It's a pain, and yeah, you have to have your contact's name be the same as their Facebook name. It's a real PITA when somebody wants to use a clever nickname and you just want their real name.
Ultimately, it's a choice between, don't sync, or sync and have a mess, or sync and merge and deal with the compromise.

How can I accomplish this? The vanilla/cyanogen contacts does not have a facebook field. I am able to sync facebook with my phone but not sync the contacts with them? Any help would be appreciated on this.

Haha I have to agree with you.
If it doesn't auto sync, click edit your contact, then menu-> join. Find your contact in the list that matches and save. Sometimes if the name you have doesn't match a facebook name, edit the name, join, then re-edit the name.

Whenever I send an email from my phone, my username is all that comes up in the From field. I really want to replace that with my name, but can't find the setting anywhere! If I change Account Name, it does nothing, it's simply a label for me to see which inbox etc I'm in.
How do I edit the Name the email says it is from?
In Account Settings you have Account Name, Your Name, Added Signature and Signature. You should be able to alert ever info in these settings.

When I go to account Settings, I've only got Account Name, Add Signature, Signature, Default Account, Always CC/BCC Myself.
So no one else is ever having this issue?
My email comes up as sent from Abbaskip ([email protected]), rather than:
sent from John Jones ([email protected])
There is no field in the email app to change my name.

Go into your contacts, open the menu, and tap on display options. click on FB next and see if the sync contacts is checked.
my phone is not in front of me right now but I think thats the way to get to those options.

I did that and it sync some but not all. On other phones, they ones it didn't sync I can manual sync them by clicking on their name....can I do that here?
Go to contacts and click the menu button then display options. It should say only show contacts with phone numbers at the top. See if that's selected. That might limit whos being synced.

If nothing else works, try downloading friendcaster from the market and sync them through the app. After flashing certain roms, FB doesn't play nice with my contacts and friendcaster is the only way I can get them to sync

Friendcaster?

Friendcaster is your only option from I believe pre 8.1 Eclipse. 8.1 on up FB should sync with AOSP.
After upgrading to 4.0 all programs except stock contacts and text no longer show Facebook profile pictures. I use GoContacts, Handcent sms and Gmail. None of these display to contact pictures for Facebook contacts. The contact pictures is blank. I have contacted all the companies and they all blame Facebook. Any ideas?

it is facebook. they locked down that part of there API. you have 2 options to get them back:
1. buy Haxsync from the market place. Its only $.99 and it works great.
2. download an app called Photo Unlocker, it was developed by ChainsDD. It is no longer in the market so you will need to search Google for it. For this to work you need to make sure your contacts are synced already with Facebook fully, run the app, it will ask for root. then it will show if the data base is busy or not. some times you will need to click unlock a bunch of times for it to work.
Loaded Haxsync. The only program that sees it is contacts. Does not work with third party programs. Handsent, go contacts and gmail.

i use handsent and go contacts and the both see them on mine. try going to:
system > app > find the 2 apps and clear cache from them.
I just installed Callapp the new social dialing app that is supposed to work great with face book. It doesn't show Facebook contact photos either. This all started the second I upgraded to ICS.

I've just downloaded HaxSync and I'm sync'ing now. I'm using a beta version of Contacts+ for my address book. We're about to find out if my contact photos import from Facebook like they used to before the API change. If this works, I'll be reporting back on my beta results.
And the verdict is...
IT WORKS (for about 90% of my Facebook contacts that had missing photos)!! Thanks for the tip!
It took a day, but the HaxSync did work. Had to rename a few contacts to the same as in Facebook. Working good with Go Contacts and Handcent.
Thanks!

Hey guys
I need help finding an app. First off, I will more than happily pay for one that does what I need.
I need:
Multiple email accounts
Being able to filter a specific distribution list to not notify me. I get other emails from that email that I need to be notified when they come in. I just need one distro list silenced
Different notifications for specific senders would be awesome
Please let me know if such an app exists.
Anyone?
