Okay so I'm using the 2.1 ROM, mainly for the use of bluetooth and I want to intergrate my facebook with my contacts to let me use their photos and birthday.
The problem is, when I sign in to Facebook via the contacts it intergrates ALL my facebook friends to my contacts! I end up with about 300 people in the list!
Are there any solutions to this, or is anyone else experiencing it?
Same problem. I did find a way to change it, but do not ask me what the chuffing heck I did to do that :S
i think the best way is to not sign in to facebook during the initial set up. once you are all set up, launch the facebook app that comes with 1.7, and select sync with existing contacts only.
seems to work ok.
Guys, i have a problem with this ROM. It's related to PHONE.apk. Every time i try to add a contact it goes to GOOGLE CONTACTS and not the phone contacts. Even when i restored my vcard it only shows google contacts when i clic on the contact tabs. Is there a way to see the PHONE contacts and not google contacts ??
In the display options there is no option for display only the PHONE CONTACTS
Tks guys
I believe this is just something you change in your settings in accounts and sync?
Nope. I just don't know how to display only the phone contacts. There is no option for that.

You could try using an alternate dialer.
Can you give a hint on one?
For my phone, i just go to the contacts screen press the left button and select "display options". In that screen you should be able to select "only contacts with phones" and it won't show any of your contacts that are just email addresses, or twitter, etc
I have V4.5.7. though so I'm not sure if it would be different.
Does anyone have the issue of duplicate contacts in messaging? I see all my contacts twice in messaging when i go to create new. For whatever reason, it reads the sim card and phone contacts. In my phone contacts it only shows one of every contact. I have tried reflash/wipe and checked messaging contacts straight away but it shows SIM contacts as a default. There is no way to unselect this option.
running XXKG2 litepro 3.1 so not sure if different ROMS make a difference
OK, you are running KG2, so that's 2.3.4 right? AFAIK, there is an added option to view/add contacts from SIM cards now which was missing in the first place. So there may be an option to see only SIM/Phone/Google contacts. Try to find it if it is there.
Regards.
This option is not available in messaging. I have looked but cannot find. In the contacts icon, you have the option to see sim, phone, facebook etc. But selecting what you want to see here does not reflect in the messaging app
yes i am running 2.3.4
I maybe wrong but in 2.3.3 this is what I get by pressing Menu- More- Display options- Select contacts to display under Contacts, so are you getting this option or not?
Regards.

but you are doing this in contacts. If you go to your messaging. Create a new message. Select a contact from your list. My list has everyone twice.
There are no options to select what to display in the messaging app
am i the only one experiencing this???
me too, i have duplicate contacts too :S
Same for me... Whyyy????
same here... on 2.3.4. kh3
IF SOME ONE FROM U GUYS using BackUp PRO app from market this is your ISSUE !
Go to the Contacts app, press menu and select Merge with Google or something like that. Then check contacts.google.com on your pc and remove the duplicates.
Nothing above worked for me!
Seems sms app opens contacts app regardless of view options set in contacts app.
Tried GO contacts and sms but same problem
ok so i got this phone around 20 days back. i set up the fb account (both in Android app for fb and facebook inside Xperia), and have synced the contacts. but i dont see my contacts being "synced" in real sense. i mean, when i see my contacts, they are just normal contacts, without pictures without the status updates and profile link. as if the FiX is not even working.
ok i know there are apps that allow me to sync pictures from fb and merge them with my contacts, but shouldnt the default well known Facebook inside Xperia work on its own?
am i doing something wrong here?
Settings - Accounts and Sync - Facebook account - Set what you want to be synced.

well, it is weird if you have done all that you sad previous.
I guess you missed something in order to setting the Facebook for Xperia to run properly. but, if you didn't miss anything, perhaps you can repair it by PCC or SEUS or flash it again using flashtool.
Follow this

And you will see both Facebook and phone contacts. Then you can put together these contacts, which are the same. The system doesn't place FB and contacts together, even if the name is the same(I think).
i sorted out the issue using the app called facebook contact sync!
Check out performance assistant app, turn on facebook inside xperia
Note : it may decrease phone performance, I suggest you to turn off features you don't want, such as ANT+...
Edit : sorry I think you are in 4.0.4, but you are 2.3.x

I'm experiencing the same issue on my Mini. I had never used Facebook for Xperia, but reading this thread I decided to give it a try. And here are my results:
The first screen shows a phone contact which has been synchronized with both Facebook for Android and Facebook for Xperia. As you can see, I have his phone number (Cellulare) and the only thing I managed to sync is his birthday (Data di nascita).
The second screen shows a contact I don't have in my phone. It's been synchronized with both Facebook for Android and Facebook for Xperia, and all I can see is his Name, his birthday and that he's married. Interesting.
The third screen shows a contact I don't have on my phone. It's been synchronized with both Facebook for Xperia and Skype. As you can see, his personal picture (from Skype) is correctly shown, together with informations from both Skype and Facebook.
Other synchronizations (calendar and photo albums through Facebook for Xperia) work just fine. Contacts seem to be bugged.
I thought it could depend on the fact I had frozen Timescape and its extensions. I tried and unfroze everything, but nothing changed.
I don't think it's because I'm using exDialer&Contacts as a system app (switched with Titanium Backup), could it be?
your phone doesnt simply sync the contacts that are only in your phonebook (ie with a number). it brings in all the contacts from whatever accounts you've setup for sync. so its actually showing you all the contacts, phone contacts (with number), gmail contacts, fb contacts and skype, plus any other service that you would setup to sync.
in contacts, touch menu and select filter, choose the account you want to see contacts from. and you're done

Looks like you didn't understand the problem, or didn't read my post at all.
Ok i got today similar problem. I sit for it for half hour and problem solved. Just make sure you have activated
1. menu --> performance assistant --> facebook inside xperia
2. in settings --> xperia --> facebook inside xperia
then for sure deleted all facebook acconunts in settings --> accounts and sync and manually add account FACEBOOK INSIDE XPERIA
if is all right you must see in this account three items (albums in gallery,calender,contacts)
Now just sync it and after few momments check contacts list.
If you help this pleas write and hit thanks button

Timescape has nothing to do with Facebook in Xperia.
I don't see a problem there. Only the info, that you can see on the person's profile, is available on your phone. In some cases, if the name matches fully(first and last name set properly), then contacts are placed together, if not then 2 separate contacts.

There are not separate contacts. The contacts are automatically merged, and you can see it from the first picture. A phone contact (I only have his phone number) is merged with the information from Facebook (his birthday) but I can't see his personal picture or his facebook posts.
But maybe this is just how it should work. I don't know. I was sure that Facebook for Xperia would have synchronized Pictures and Facebook status as well.

The pictures should be synchronized, I got that feature on gingerbread, status only if you had set it to do it(Contacts-Settings, I think).
I didn't have chance to test it on ICS.
Contacts are only merged if first and last name match. On my phone, it didn't happen, as importing contacts from another phone resulted in whole name in Last name section.

You need to show all contacts even without numbers then link each contact yourself to a facebook contact then once u have do that unchaeck show all and check without numbers then uncheck show facebook contacts so only your google contacts show and boom all your contact will have there pics in place i had the same problem on my eperia p hope this helps u out my friend
Hi,
First of all, JUST RECEIVED MY SIII
I'm messing around with it, and I can only say it's a BEAST!!
But the first little problame I cam across is the syncing of my contacts. I have a list in gmail of my phone contacts (so I don't have to have ALL my gmail contacts) but I can't find in android 4 how I can only select this list ... can someone help me?
Thanks!
Sam
I can't believe this is not possible ...
I think it depends on the dialer/contacts/people app combo. I know I could select which groups of contacts was shown in ICS on my HTC Desire (menu/accounts in the contact list), but I don't have the option on the contacts/people app currently in use in the BlackStar rom.
