HTC Sense adding all Facebook contacts to phone book On HTC Desire
This week I got updated my phone to the HTC Desire. It’s a great phone and I was happy when I discovered that I could link my contacts to their Facebook profile so that their photos and information will appear in my phone book.
My happiness was short lived however as HTC Sense (the application responsible for linking my contacts to their Facebook accounts) had also added all of my “friends” who had listed their phone number on Facebook to my phone book. After some searching I discovered that lots of other people were also having the same problem and there was no fix. It was either no links at all or linking everyone on Facebook.
However I have come across another application called SyncMyPix that can handle linking Facebook accounts to my phone book contacts without adding people to my phone book. It’s available in the Market so it’s easy to install and it’s also free although there is an option to donate if you find the application useful.
