Facebook friends .... - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to remove them from the dialer? I have it unchecked so they don't show up in my "people" but all these useless numbers show up in my dialer.

Try to un sync from from Facebook then put in the account n uncheck sync contacts in the acounts and sync menu in your settings

[Q] Sync contacts with background data off?

Simply for better battery life, I've been considering dropping background data and autosync. However, when I do that, I notice that my ability to sync my contacts and calendar with Google becomes greyed out.
How do I keep syncing my calendar and contacts with Google even with background data disabled?
You have to do it manually. Auto Sync is part of the background data.

I understand that, but I can't find a way to auto-sync. If I go into the accounts that sync under settings, it only shows "*account* sync is off". When I go into it, it shows the date that it last synced. No other options.
If you tap on one of them (contacts, calendar, or gmail) it will sync.

[Q] Why do I get Facebook notifications?

I have turned OFF all syncing with FB in the sync settings. I still get notifications when I recieve a personal message... Any clues?
kill the facebook process in running services
this has annoyed me too, that app should really respect how we set up to disable sync.
it also annoys me that it automatically adds facebook contacts to my phone contacts when I only want numbers there (what's more it adds them with pictures >_<) just like gmail. however with gmail, if you choose not to sync this does not happen
so what i did was just to uninstall that app and browse fb using opera
Go into the settings of the Facebook app...

Syncing
Turning off Syncing in FB app does not disable FB notifications! You have to go to the FB main screen and then press menu button, go to settings as pre-poster said. There you can disable notifications.

Facebook pics on contacts

So suddenly my contacts that are joined with my facebook friends aren't sharing the pics. Used to be that whenever I would get Call or a text the contacts name would show up with their facebook picture. Now all of a sudden it just shows an android pix. Although the facebook pix will show up in the contacts page. Anyone have any ideas? Im using com rom 2.1 and this high voltage reenergized.
Here is what I do. I use the Max os x address book and sync it to my Google account, and there is an app that sybcs Facebook info with address book. So I sync Facebook and address book, then address book with Google, the Google with the phone. Haha.

There is no option to link photos in the app. Does it do it automatically? Been a few hours since installed and nothing has changed.
Here's a question to all: is this linked account done via the Facebook app or SNS? I noticed personally that pictures would only show up with SNS configured.
How do you set defaults? Been looking around on phone and can't find anything. Also, I sync using facebook so everything isn't doubled up. Is that why the pics aren't linking?
I have the same issue

You can tell the Facebook app to not sync contacts, and tell SNS to sync contacts, and you won't double up. That's been my experience on CR2.1.
Running ComRom 2.1 and have had same problem. SyncMyPix didn't work for me, but I did find a workaround.
I downloaded and installed 'Phonebook' from Market. It is a contact replacement app. I logged into Facebook through the app and it matched my existing contacts and it automatically downloaded their Facebook pictures and replaced all the Contact pictures.
Now when I go back into 'Contacts' all the latest Facebook profile pictures are with the contacts. And the photos also appear for incoming calls and text messages.
Hope that helps.
You gotta go into facebook settings. And then select, "Sync existing contacts with facebook contacts". The names have to be exactly the same as well or else it won't sync automatically. Otherwise you'd just have to link it manually.
is there a way to link contacts in cm7?
Go into market and search "syncmypix"
It takes all the pictures for contacts you have and uploads them to Google contacts

1) Go into your Google contact
2) Select menu -> edit
3) Menu -> join
4) Profit
sweet but a pain in the ass from when just needed to click menu on contact and go join. But good find none the less!

You are 100% correct. I disable the facebook app from syncing. Then I re-created the SNS facebook sync, and joined my contacts again. Everything shows up.

FB Contacts

Is there a way to only sync photos with existing contacts from Facebook? For some reason, all of my Facebook contacts are now in my phone and I don't really need them all there. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: Figured it out. For anyone wondering, all you do is Open Contacts -> Press Menu button -> Display Options and then un-check Facebook and it will clear out your FB Contacts, but leave the ones you entered yourself.
Thank you so much for this! I deleted all of the fb contacts that got added by hand then they all synced back again... I was like wtf dude.... glad I searched and found this, I was going to make a new thread!

yep, just install Facebook, launch it and it'll ask (the first time...after logging in) "sync all contacts" or "sync only existing contacts" Choose existing. Done.
I was having issues with this working the way I wanted, so I just used SyncMyPix. Does syncing it using the FB app or using and FB account sync more than just the pictures?
