Well it is like this.. I choose "Do not sync facebook contacts" and i know for a facet from a swedish forum that it doesn't matter what i choose the contacs syncs anyway.
And it do not help to remove the facebook account from the accounts on the phone either..
Do you access the contact from the Launcher Pro dock shortcut? Try accessing it from the main menu if it works the way you want.

Same thing happened to me. Just remove the Contact shortcut in the Launcher Pro dock. Then set it again. It works for me, but I have no idea if you are not using Launcher Pro or any other launcher.

didn't work :/
Ditto on the doesn't matter what I choose. Turned off sync ~2 months ago, removed all the crap from my contacts, etc. foolishly turned on facebook app and all the crap is back! sync still claims to be off but how does it explain the facebook fake info in my contacts list? (I have a friend with 012 345 6789 as their number on FB)
This would be fine but it also seems to find out of date info (on google!); So that mobile you updated, is now alongside that old one and which is which? I am visiting my sister for Christmas who now has 2 mobile numbers and 3 home numbers, Russian roulette anyone? I enjoy calling strangers for Christmas and asking them to pick me up from the airport!

[Q] How do I get Motoblur not to import ALL of my Google Contact?

I set up my Google account in Motoblur and it downloaded my entire contact into my phone. With my iPhone, I can set it so it only imports those in the "My Contacts" group. I would like to do the same here since "All Contacts" stores every single email address I've ever communicated with.
I am mitigating this issue by turning on the filter for "only contacts with phone numbers" but I would like more control over this.
If Motoblur can't do this, how can I bypass it as have the Contacts app connect directly to my Google account?
Thanks!
Sadly. You can't do either. This is our fate with MotoBlur.
Just make, your own contact list put who ever you want in it select it under contacts then, it will pretty much be your main one

Yeah, but I want it to sync with Google Contacts.
There's an option in the contacts app settings menu to show only contacts with phone numbers.

Yup, thanks! That's what I'm using now and it is a lot better. But I was hoping for more control group-wise.

Unfortunately the Motoblur contacts app doesn't allow for the same level of control as the stock Android contacts app. I have asked about installing the AOSP contacts app but no one has told me whether it would work / what dependencies it has, and reading through the Cyanogenmod forums hasn't helped me figure it out (I'm no android developer).
And weirdly enough this option isn't available in the bell version.

I can't find any option for that in contacts either Can someone tell me where it's situated or the Bell version doesn't have it :/ And if there's a work-around if this is the case?
I just went into my contacts in the web version of gmail and starred everyone that I wanted in my phone contacts list. Then on my phone I just set the contacts to favorites and all that showed up was the starred contacts from gmail.

[Q] No Google contacts ?

Hi,
I synch, as usual, with my Google account, but no contacts in default application ?
( just favorites !??? )
But I tried Go Contact, and this one show correctly my contacts !?
Any idea why default contact app does not show them ?
Cheers.
Weird, I synced my google contacts and it worked just fine.
My favorites are in my favorites, and my normal contacts are all where they should be...are you sure it actually synced?
When you are in contacts, press Menu > Filter > Google (your google e-mail) and check/uncheck whats neccesary. Maybe you haven't check some groups?
Cool, simple as that, in fact no group are showed by default

[Q] TouchWiz contact list photos sync from Facebook

I remember from earlier Galaxy phones that I could sync my contacts photo with the photo they had on Facebook. Did they remove the feature on the S III?
Nobody even remembers this from earlier?
No the feature is still there ...u just need to manually link a few which are not automatically detected... Just click on a contact and link with Facebook account.. And then on Facebook tab click on the pic and select option use this picture for contact
It's annoying they dont have the 'get friends' option from the GS1 so i can select individual facebook contacts to add to my phone.
Rather than either syncing them all and deleting the ones i dont want or syncing with existing and it not matching some of them.
you can manually choose which friends you want to display in the contacts' settings...

I can't say that's possible. I can't find it at least, and I've tried a couple of times.
