Hi,

I just asked a question so I feel it's only fair I post a solution too.

I imported contacts from Yahoo, Gmail and Facebook to my new SGS2 and found that when you try to edit any that are from Yahoo or Facebook you get a message saying "Unable to edit SNS contacts on this phone".

Presumably what this actually means is "I can't edit information that came from Yahoo or FB".

What that means is you have a problem of how do you add say a phone number, extra email address or photo to a contact that was pulled from Yahoo or FB (or presumably any non-Google source).

The way around it is to create a new contact with the same name and put the phone number in there. Then hit the merge symbol and merge it with the previously uneditable contact. After you've done that you should have one displayed contact in your list which should be editable in a normal fashion.

Hope that helps anyone who's had the same problem!

 

That's true about the drawback. I've basically gone into my Google contacts and added anyone who was a Facebook or Yahoo contact into my Google contacts. Took me an hour or two, but hopefully won't have to do it again!
