    Unhappy Linking Facebook to contacts? How can I stop it?

    My Droid X came today, and it automatically links my facebook friends to my contacts. I have tons more facebook friends than people I actually call and text (I have 1400 friends). It even shows people who dont post their numbers and has me automatically email them. I want to get rid of this feature, does anyone know a way? Its driving me nuts!

    Try going to Contacts then the menu then display options or accounts and play around with those settings perhaps

    I have the same problem - and none of these suggestions seem to work. There are no settings options (that i can find) in the facebook app or in contacts that will allow me to stop the sync. It's really annoying. Can anyone help?
    Convo I had with an Apple Fanboy I know:

    "If you had 250k, what car would you buy?"
    "Probably a corvette, you get the most horsepower for your money"
    " UGH you are such an Android User!!"

    Did you download the Facebook app or are you using the one on the phone. If your answer is the latter then that's your problem.

    On the DROID it works like this:
    From HOME > MENU > SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS & SYNC
    This should list all accounts and if they are synced or not.

    SHOULD be similar on X I would hope.

    It does not. You need to load the FB app and use that one if you want that functionality. Lame.
