Hi, I got a question. I want to disable Google contact sync, but I want to keep Google calender sync. On my Desire z I was simply able to uncheck calender. With my S3 I only seem to be able to deactivate Google at once.
Is there a way for me to deactivate contact sync?

Hi. Is there any way I could unsync or remove my facebook phonebook contacts from ny phone dialer. Half of them are inaccurate and the other half I don't call at all..

try to remove your fb account from the phone, maybe it works
go to People > Menu > View. untick facebook contacts.

Hi. Thanks for the replies but in my people app, the Facebook is already unticked. I doubt it lies in people as the unwanted phonebook does not appear in peoples.. I dont want to remove Facebook entirely as I still want it in HTC sense.

I've the same issue as well.
All i did was to uninstall Facebook for HTC Sense, remove Facebook application and walla, all my contacts went unsynced.
Since i needed Facebook,i reinstalled from Market but this time round,i ensured i did not sync both phone contacts with Facebook contacts.
Hope this works for you,cheers!

Ok.. but won't this prevent my people app to stop linking with Facebook and friend stream can't be used as well?

I think you can use Titanium Backup to back it up (I'm not sure). Or you can adb pull the HtcFacebook.apk from /system/app, push it back when you need it.

Call me an idiot...but I thought Google sync was obsolete with android, considering most of the devices are powered by Google! ....am I wrong....be nice !!
I will reiterate - Titanium Backup works great for restoring, in my case programs with data like Timeriffic.

You are wrong. Google sync is an android feature. It's one of the benefits to logging in with your gmail account when you setup a new ROM.

I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to backup and restore contacts...
You could just export your contacts to your SD card then import them back after you flash a new ROM. While in people, hit menu then export.
Seems when you register your google account it automatically pulls pictures from your Google + Account and Picasa into your Gallery..
I do not want that, eats up storage space and I rather not have those pictures on there
So far the only solution I have found to this is to delete my Gmail account off the tablet which I dont want to do..
Any other sugestions to delete this pictures or just get rid of them
Cant delete already tried that, once synced up they are there for good it seems
Have you tried going into Settings> Accounts, selected your Google account and unchecked Picasa?

When the account is setup, you can click on the account and it will give you all the Google services you can sync. You are able to uncheck Picasa.

The guy is only trying to help. :\
Easiest method would probably be syncing it into your google cal using that link and sync google cal into the stock calendar app...

You cant, sync to google and use google's calendar service.
After searching for a while - found this app
After searching for a while (including this forum) I've just found an app called:
"ICS 2 Calendar"
Unlike many "fat" apps, this one does nothing but addind the ICS to your calendar.
Hello,
I found something strange, with the sync disabled in System settings and in the application settings I still manage to receive mail from the corporate app (Exchange), however not from my Gmail account.
Thank you

Thank you, but this does not solve my problem.
As I use corporate mail application for my work, I don't want to freeze it, I just want to be able to stop synchronizing when I want it (e.g. week-end).
So I do not understand why I continue to receive corporate emails when accounts synchronization is shut off.
