Hello,
I recently purchased the Galaxy S2 phone and one things that annoys me is that if you have a friends that belongs in multiple social networks, you can't join them all to his main phone contact. For example i have a friend's gmail contact on my contact list and i want to join his other contacts from facebook, twitter, last.fm, skype, myspace, whatsapp, linkedin etc.. (for those who don't know, by installing the official social app on your android you get the option to list those contacts on your phone contact list)... Well the problem is that when i try to join a 6th contact i get the message "unable to join contact. maximum number of joined contacts is 5"
I know most of you will problably say use another app for your contacts but i really wanna know if anyone finds it annoying and has found workaround... maybe a tweak to increase the limit, an upgrade or another app that adresses this issue....I really don't wanna use a 3rd party app for my contact list...
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dennis
Any ideas anyone?
I am interested too, I find it weird you can only merge 5 account...
I guess you can't?
I am interested too, someone in my contact has many social account T T
You can try and do it in gmail rather than your phone

I don't mean gmail contacts i mean gmail conacts with other social network contacts...for example a gmail contact with facebook, skype, linkedin, twitter last.fm etc...
i would be interested as well.
i use google contacts, facebook, twitter, google+, skype and facebook is listed twice, once for its own app, once for social hub and i recently found, some of my contacts that in fact use all the services cannot be merged into one contact anymore, as that would mean, merging 6 contacts.
the sgs2 has great social networking integration, but why set this stupid limit that serves no one? the feature of merging contacts is supposed to combine all online activity of one person into one contact.
+1 on this..
There should be some way to increase the counter on the number ( or remove it completely) for the number of contacts that can be joined..
As the number of social/communication apps grow so do the contacts on those that you would want to link
Anyone has the fix to unlock the 5 contacts limits?
I'm looking forward for this fix too
I have the T-Mobile SGS2, but I found this thread looking for the same answer. I found this feature request though on the android project that anyone wanting this feature should probably star and add a comment on to convince them to add it...
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16735
i could develop it partially now, I could remove the limit, but when I make the order to join it said "contacts joined" but actually nothing happened!
so i am working on it to find the problem
i will post in SGSII developing section once it is done
so stay close
check it out

I couldn't figure out why the facebook one is listed twice - I was going crazy!! Should both be joined?
Also, I have a contact that has a twitter account and when I click on "join contact" I don't see their twitter account to select to join... how do I do this?
Thanks!
Maria
current the stock contact doesn't allow that, but i have seen it work on an EVO3D.
i really need a fix for this issue, anyone to help ????

Go to twitter settings and under other settings choose sync all for "Contact settings"
Go to your contacts app and the twitter contact should be there now to link to other contacts (if not then press the menu hard key, go to more, display options, and tick all contacts under twitter)
Once you're done syncing, you can untick display all twitter contacts to hide unnecessary ones and can go back to twitter and change contact sync to existing contacts to minimise data usage
Also social hub is a stupid app, just replicates what the official facebook app does, if i were you I would remove your facebook account from social hub and you won't have duplicate facebook contacts then
Anyone here that had the 2.3.6 Mail app an upgraded to ICS, can you tell us if there is any improvement in the activsync capable mail app?
anyone?
For instance, does the 4.0.3 exchange client support multi select yet?
Does it support Notes syncing from exchange 2010 servers?
Is there any Office365 additions?
ICS allows mulitple selections, syncs Mail, Kalendar and Contacts.
Notes and Tasks are NOT synched.
The E-Mails are now displayed properly and the Contact handling is really cool as it integrates tie information about the Contact from Exchange, Facebook, Google+, Yahoo,.... in one Tab.
ugh. So if I want Notes and Tasks I need to for out for a 3rd party email app?

Hello everybody,
I spent the last hour with what felt like reading about almost every birthday app in the play store.
But not a single one seems to do what I am looking for. *sigh
I have a lot of Google Contacts and I am pretty eager to have my friend's and colleague's brithdays in there. I usually add them manually.
Google Calendar has become an omnipresent companion in my life...so I used the "show birthday calendar" feature since it was introduced in the Calendar's "Labs".
To not miss out on birthdays of newer friends, which I haven't added to my Google Contacts yet, I subscribed to the iCal-Feed of Facebook, as well.
So far so good...but there are problems:
Problem #1:
I want to avoid facebook-synchronisation, because my opinion is that my whole adress-book is none of facebook's business. So syncing contacts and canceling the facebook ical-subscription is no option. Besides that I wouldn't be able to see all the other facebook events.
So around 50% of my birthdays appear twice in my Google Calendar, one pulled from Google Contacts and the other one from Facebook.
Problem #2:
It would be best to set reminders for individual contacts or groups and not for the entire calendar. The latter is the only option for subscribed calendars, such as the direct Google Contact pulled one, as well as the facebook feed.
So for a while I used eboBirthdays to sync all of the contact's birthdays into a new and separate editable "normal" Google Calendar "calendar". That worked quite well, even though I was missing out on the facebook contacts again.
(I know that eboBirthdays added a facebook sync feature, but many people chose to use different or abbreviated names on facebook (mostly for privacy reasons) which makes an automated sync impossible.)
Problem #3:
There are just too many contacts so that almost every day there are 3-4 birthdays marked in my calendar.
I organize all my contacts in many separate Google Contacts groups. This helps me to filter them in my all my contact applications easily and with no additional tools.
It would be great to select the displayed birthdays based on this groups as well.
Is there any birthday app that comes close to those functions?
Or is there another solution that I am just overlooking?
I would be thankful for every hint
All the best!
No one? :/
Is there nothing out there?
Hi,
one can have multiple twitter, email etc. accounts on Android (running 4.1.2 on a Galaxy Note), but only one facebook account. However, I have two of them and I need *both* their contacts sync'd to the contacts database (one is my "private" profile for close friends, the other is for work colleagues etc). Also, the built-in facebook authentication has the same problem as the contact sync - I don't want to run games like Real Racing under my "public" FB profile.
Any way to make two FB profiles on one device? Maybe with something like a "virtualization"?

Hi everyone,
I've been working on porting an existing app to use the new features of the L preview, but I'm having a bit of trouble with testing. The app makes use of the CalendarContract api to display a listview of upcoming events. Since the calendar does not allow events to be created without an account I have created a test google account to work with. Unfortunately, when I try to sign in to that account in the AVD the google accounts manager force closes.
Adding that account as an IMAP account works, but this isn't good enough for the Calendar app.
If anyone has advice on how to either:
*add a google account without the accounts manager crashing
*add a fully offline calendar account
*add a calendar event without any accounts added
I would greatly appreciate the help.
If needed I may have to flash an L-preview ROM to my nexus 4 so that I can test, but, since that is my only phone, I'd rather stick with a stable release.
