I did q search and couldn't find if anyone else was having issues with the contacts in gmail not popping up when entering a person's name in the" to" field for email. Besides that the email works great. Thanks

Gmail pulls from the contacts stored. Because there are no contacts, the email address can't be populated.
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.

LOL mine is the opposite....I have SNS off and fbook app does it.
I've added my Hotmail account to the stock e-mail app, set up as Exchange ActiveSync. I can't however figure out how to change my outgoing name in sent mail. It just shows my mail account name without the @hotmail.com.
Now I know there's a Hotmail app available in the market with the option I'm looking for, but it only syncs mail from the last 30 days, which I don't want and therefor prefer the stock e-mail app (syncs everything).
I'm on 2.3.6 (KKA). Thanks in advance!

Email>Menu>More>Account Settings allows you to change your name and your signature. Is that what you are looking for?
Yes, except I don't get a field with "Your name". The signature field is there however.

Are you using the Gmail app or the Email app?
On my Note, the Gmail app has only the signature field in settings, the Email app (which you can use with gmail and/or any other email provider) has "Your name" and "Add Signature" in settings.
edit: I see that in your OP you did say you were using the Email app with Hotmail - so now I don't know what to think!
edit 2: I just tested mine by sending an email to myself, looked at it on my computer, it sent Stan/GNote as my name, followed by my email address.

I found a workaround to change the "Your Name" setting in the stock Email app. I posted the details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31342076.
I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??

Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

Hello guys
I changed my phone to z. Restored all the contacts from my old phone to new one.
After this is done. For few contacts I can't find their name or number when I search it using smart dial or phonebook search. But when that user calls me up his name n no. Flashes on the screen n stays in the call log. Later vanishes.
Could anyone help me to get all those hidden contacts.
Thank you.

Did you make a backup of all your contacts on Googleaccount on your previous phone
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Nope. I dint backup to a Google account.
I used wondershare mobilego.
My old phone was HTC wildfire we could not keep 2 Google accounts in it old version of android so I dint backup n dint want to mess up my primary account.
N in this phone I backed up all the contacts to a gmail account.
But I can't find it in phone.
I.e. When I try to find contacts In phone home screen last tab after favorites. Three persons icon where u can find local groups n Google account
In Google account the count is 0 , though I backed up the contacts.

Go to your contacts, optiond -> filter, expand the gmail account you used and make sure the correct group has a tick in the checkbox.
Thank you.
But in gmail account I checked all the sub fields.
When I backed up all my contacts to that gmail account.
After logging into gmail from my pc I'm able to see those contacts.
But in phone I can't find them under the Google account tab.

Re-sync maybe?
Could be duplicated numbers or names?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yup.
I had so many duplicates must be *3
Coz I had the Facebook sync on old phone.
That's the reason I used mobilego app to delete the duplicate. It worked well.
Still I have few duplicates. Very few I don't bother much with it.
But if I factory reset n sync my gmail account will I be able to restore my contacts.
I doubt coz I'm not able to find them in my phone.
I'm planning to root. So will have to be doing a factory reset many times. I'm new to root.

Sync your contacts to Google than open your gmail on your pc and check if all your contacts are there before doing a factory reset.
In gmail there is an option to merge all duplicated contacts
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
This happened to me too. I found out the contacts merged somehow O_O it's apparently a problem that other people have (Google it) as well. I painstakingly just unmerged every single one manually
Check if the contacts are merged!

My Z merges contacts with every single reset or flashing of the phone. Became a bit wearisome.
