Hi guys! I'm new to the forum, so I catch the opportunity to introduce me and to thank you for the great forum. I have always consulted xda for my questions and problems and now I decided to subscribe me!
Now, the problem: as the title says,there was recently a sudden and strange problem with the address book of my galaxy s4: when I create a contact, usually, I can choose between different accounts or devices with which to associate the number that I'm adding (Device , SIM , Google , Samsung account ), after I created it, the contact synchronizes it self with facebook, now, this don't happens. I'm regularly connected to my facebook account, infact it appears in account management and if I tell the phone to display only the contacts in the address book in my facebook profile, he does . So I can connect accounts only in device, sim, google+ and samsung. Under the heading "MYSELF", I am connected with google+ , but I can't change in facebook or somethings else (the pone says me: "can not change when in use"). This is very annoying, because I can not connect facebook to existing contacts (I have old contacts that recently subscribed on facebook) and also I can't add new contact to my facebook account! All the old numbers ( which at the time I imported with kies and combined with the " connection/joint " option when they were doubles) are connected to my Facebook account (via their email, it appears the tab "facebook" if I go to edit them ), but I can't connect the new ones! In addition, there is not even whatsapp (which is there in all old contacts ) . What can I do? thanks

I just got Galaxy S, and have one situation that bugs me a lot. I have all my contacts on Exchange account, so I set it up, and it synced it all, without any problems. But, I would like my Exchange contacts to be linked with their facebook pictures.
So, when I add FB account, it works fine with those people for which name matches in Exchange and FB. But for those that I listed with some short names (close friends, family) it didn't auto match (of course, didn't know how) so I manually linked them. When I link them, it changes their name, from Exchange name (nickname) to FB (full name), and it bugs me because I would like to leave the short names I added.
This bugs me even more because only those people that I input with a nickname, or just first name or some short name are those that are close to me. Any solution to this?
I tried both to first select their FB and link with Exchange, and vice versa, and it always displays full name taken from FB
Thanks in advance
Ok, I think I have the answer. I was in the same situation as you up until a few minutes ago when I was messing. Go to the contact that had the short name but now has their full name due to you linking them with their facebook account, open up the contacts details, click menu, click mark as default and there you will be able to set the default name of the contact as well as other defaults. Hope this has helped.
Thanks a lot!
i was under the impression that Gmail contacts are automatically updated on the web after the multiple (facebook,google) accounts syncing and auto/manual facebook links in android 2.2 (desire HD).
BUT , i was shocked as i was about to type an email to a friend which i easly do on the DHD but cudnt find his contact on the gmail, checked with several other contacts and its this case of not updating my gmail with facebook on the web.
spent hours looking for a solution but was fruitless, the closest thing i found was this (google.co.uk/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=30a6a99f562bbb28&hl=en ) but it didnt work, simply cos i cannot select local phone contacts to export (non in the list,only google account export) even though i select facebook in the people's app view .
anyone knows how to make this work , basically to build local phone DB from the existing syncs and links?
would really appreciate any help.thx.
Hi all,
I searched everywhere for this feature, but I haven't found it. It probably isn't there because it's hard to implement?
I have contacts from skype, gmail, live mail, my pc, exchange, etc.
Google asks me to link those account. It does that very good. But I want more.
Some exchange contacts have more information on one person then some contacts on my pc or gmail and the other way arrround. I would like an app that sets the contact information the same on every account and if there is a conflict of data not matching it should notify me so I could choose what is the right information.
It probably isn't there, but if there is, please let me know!
(weather it's an app, a service or setting, etc.).
Hi All
I have a Milestone 2 and have set this up so that it syncs my Hotmail (via corporate sync) and yahoo accounts. The hotmail account also syncs my contacts and calendar.
I noticed that random contacts would dissapear from my contacts list or that some would have part of their details removed (like phone numbers). On my hotmail account and outlook the contacts are still all there and fine and it is just my phone. I spoke to Motorola who told me to do a hard reset. I did this but still have the same issue. Now they want me to send the phone to them for 2 weeks. I dont see why this is needed as its obviously a software fault that they need to fix. Any ideas on how I can solve this?
I was thinking of not using motoblur and using another app to do the EAS for the hotmail account. Is this possible?
I also have some other issues I have listed below:
If set to automatic the weather widget always shows I am in Lyonsdown (unless I set it to manual and London - then it shows my local weather for London). But I want it to work out where I am wirelessly so when I move around I get the current weather where I am and not for Lyonsdown all the time.
Facebook errors all the time saying my password is wrong yet it still seems to sync OK with facebook. I have removed facebook for now as I am fed up with it asking me to continuously enter a correct password.
If I log into motoblur to locate my phone it never works and it also shows the wrong phone number for my phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am using Note 3 for past few days, and it is becoming difficult to manage my contacts in 1 place.
I use many social applications like whatsapp, chaton, fb, twitter etc. and keep receiving new contacts from those places.
Also, keep adding new contacts manually or via different email applications (inbuilt email or directly opening emails via browser firefox/chrome).
Problem:
I want to keep all my contacts centrally in 1 place.. so I do not loose them.
Examples:
I added 2 contacts directly via whatsapp today someone shared the contact, after adding same to my contacts. 1 of them got added to my google account other did not, it got added to device.
Same happens when adding contacts via email addresses or social media apps.
Please guide your share your expertise, i am sure, I am not able to see things properly.

I have few accounts, list in order displayed on phone.
Device - 0 contacts
Sim card - 0 contacts
Whatsapp - (few contacts who use whatsapp are displayed here.. All contacts are present in google account)
google ([email protected]) (I have all my contacts stored in this account) (around 450 contacts here in different groups)
Exchange account ([email protected] this is primary/default email) There are many contacts here, which I dont want to add/merge to my phone, as this are business contacts and I only use them mostly for email. Many of this contacts also have phone numbers national/international both
Samsung ([email protected] using same exchange email id) Not sure how many contacts this has.
Facebook (More then 1500+ friends/relatives/business people here) Many of this friends are already present in my google account. I dont want to merge this data with my proper list.. as I never communicate with this friends on phone..)
Now.. when anyone sends me a contact via whatsapp or any other above accounts, it gets added to device or respective accounts only.. which troubles a lot..
I also want to sync only photos of people who are listed in gmail account (not all facebook contacts).
But next time, when I will do flash my rom.. it will disappear again !
Please help.. hope I am able to frame the question/problem properly..
Since I last upgraded to lollipop, all the photos I had for contacts are lost (as google does not syncs photos on gmail or google people)
