Default Stop motoblur from pulling facebook phone numbers?

Is it possible? Its pretty annoying having a phone number list of well over 500 people... I just want my PHONE contacts to be there, not facebook. Anyone know?

I think all you have to do is remove it from "Accounts". It will still allow you to login to the app, but wont pull all yoru contact info. I had this issue with my Hotmaill account and that is how i stopped it.

If you want it to keep syncing but only see your google or sim contacts, you can change who is viewed in the contacts app by clicking the top where it says "Contacts: All contacts" and picking a different menu option. (this will not effect the contacts part of the dialer)

Alternatively you could add some contacts as favorites. And those could be more easily found in the Dialer since there is a contacts menu.

Contacts > Menu > More > Settings

Uncheck facebook account

At least I think.

There you can check Phone numbers only as well to remove all contacts that do not have a phone number associated with them.

Also if you set up linked accounts in the blur accounts section you have to delete all of them except the actual blur account.

The Social networking/messaging and a few other widgets won't function though.

I guess the work around right now is to remove accounts, create a list with everyone on it, then add back on facebook. Whenever you view contacts, use the new list you made.

I was just using it to sync pictures. I removed the account and downloaded syncmypix from the market. Free and easy.

Also, another "fix" would be to go into contacts-> menu-> settings-> then selecting "phone numbers only". This wouldn't necessarily get rid of every Facebook friend from your contacts list, but since most (at least of my friends) don't seem to list their phone numbers, this should cut down your list dramatically.

I tried the above tricks but in the end the only way I could find to get rid of them from the Dialer contacts (which has no options at all) was to remove the account.

Thanks for tip on pics sync, that's all I wanted too. The actual Facebook app and Facebook widget do the rest.
