I backed up my contacts from my evn3, switched to X2, and transferred my contacts to the X2. The phone numbers did not sync with my Facebook Contacts. Ideas?
Go into contacts
hit the menu hard key
Display Options
Under "choose contacts to display" find facebook
Check "all contacts"
Hope this helps, I spent about an hour trying to find this yesterday
Now if I could find a way to link my gmail contacts with facebook accounts, so i didn't have to work through 300 facebook friends I rarely talk to.
I think its a feature not turned on yet or missed. If you go into a facebook contact, thats in your contact list, and try to edit it, the orange triangle comes up and says "facebook contact information is not editable on this device".
I'm trying to understand the issue here...is it that when you have the same contact on FB and on another service (Gmail, or Exchange, for example) the two contacts records aren't being joined automatically in contacts, or ?
You know how phone numbers with names sync with your facebook contacts? It's not doing that. The option in the Facebook app for this to occur is not there. It doesn't let you scroll down to that point.
Ah, finally, see what you mean....Other Settings is not accessible.
For it to work properly, the Facebook contacts and Google contacts must match exactly. For example, names and e-mail. If the name spelled slightly different with extra letter or space, it will think it is different.
I finally found a program that will sync Facebook contacts with Google contacts. I will post link for it after I try it out.
Im not sure what the problem is here. Mine synched just fine(though it took a couple of days before it popped). If I had a contact in my phone, that matched a contact I had in facebook, it synched, and they are linked. Now if they didnt "match exactly" it didnt, meaning it had to either match the phone # up (if your contact has thier # listed on their profile, or the name had to match exactly as to how it is on FB)
And of course you cant edit a "facebook" contact on your droid, you never could, and not why one would ever need too.
So are you saying, none of your phone contacts, synched with their facebook info, even though u know their info matches?
No dude, you should be able to do it without google accounts. It would be stupid if your google accounts had to match facebook and phone numbers. I don't email any of my friends.
After copying all my information from Facebook to my Google contacts, I found two duplicates on my phone and it won't join together so I end up have to delete those two contact information and re-enter it on my Google Voice and than it join together on my phone.
Here's the program that sync Facebook contacts with your Google contacts. I try it out. It works but not that great. I may have to run it again but it takes forever to run so it's best to run when you go to sleep.
Make sure you read the description on this link on how to use it.
