I don't believe this is the proper solution. 1. You'll end up syncing everyone into your contact list, which isn't what was originally selected (and isn't what most people will want to do). 2. I believe what the issue is, that the Droid is unable to tell when an profile is just edited and isn't a newly created profile, so it thinks after every edit it should give you another link to their profile. Therefore, it will work, but only until one of those people updates their profile.

Worked for me… Got rid of all of my Facebook contacts and now I can choose whatever it is that I want to do. Thanks!

what if I don't want my 800 friends on my droid, but I also want the ones that are synced not to collect superfluous facebook links?

You should be able to follow this guide just the same, except you will need to select “Sync with existing contacts” in Step 5.

I had the same issue kind of. My problem is that I happen to know a lot of people that have the same names so it is adding things to people with the same names that don’t even have a facebook. For instance my cousins name is antoinette roybal and she does not have a facebook account, but I do have another friend named antoinette roybal that does have a facebook account so when it synced it added the facebook friends picture to my cousins contact information and so on. Does anyone know anything that can be doen about that?

I’ve had this same problem before. When viewing the incorrectly merged contact, you should be able to press Menu and select some type of “Split Contact” option. This will separate the contacts into two different individuals.

Interested to see how easy it is to sync it up.

I don’t have the SYNC option. Under “Other Settings” is just Help nothing else

Hi John,

Which phone are you using? If I remember correctly, the sync feature was disabled on some phone because they independently managed Facebook contacts (I think HTC phones in particular did this).

Try checking in your phone settings under “Accounts and Sync” to see if Facebook settings are available there.
