I don't like it when I add my facebook account for messaging, it adds EVERY single friend I have on Facebook (325) and clutters my whole contacts list. Is there any way to keep it separate from my phone book or even just show online people?
actuelly, viewing facebook contacts seperate from the rest is easy.
Open Contacts, and press the top bar to see the menu.
Here go into Groups, and click facebook.
now only facebook contacts are visible.
This also works for skype and all other intergrated services.
Sorry, groups is a direct translation from my OS language. might be called something diffrent on other languages.
Btw when viewing contacts you can also sort it so online ppl are automatic at top. goes for all services.
Not sure if its like google talk option or not, but clicking on the top menu in the contacts program (where it says "all contacts"), then clicking "Groups" then select Facebook and it will show all those from facebook (or any other group you added). To see availability, instead of selecting "Groups" at the top it has "ABC", "Availability" and "Recent". So you can change it based on that too.
This doesn't fix the problem i guess, since its more of a filter than a seperation, but least you can filter it, then keep it running in the background for later use.
Yeah thanks guys but I already knew about that. It's not as effective though because it requires a lot of back and forth and it still doesn't fix the problem of loading all of my freaking friends when it's better just to show who is online on facebook rather than load every single profile thus slowing down my system. You get what I'm saying? haha
