Froyo and linking contacts?

[Mark_Venture]

I've been using my Incredible and X for so long, that maybe my memory is fuzzy, but..

I updated my Droid (A855) to the recent Froyo and something I've noticed...

It appears to be missing the ability to manually LINK contacts...

While it can and did auto link some of the common gmail and FB contacts, and combine info into a single contact listing for that person (with all details including phone numbers, email address, FB picture, birthday, and link to FB page), but if for some reason it doesn't match them up, it doesn't allow the user(ME) to manually LINK them.

example: in gmail, MOM with cell phone and email address, and in FB, Helen M. with email, birth date, picture, etc, I show two listings on phone, not associated.

On X and INC, I could menu -> Link... and pair them into one. Froyo doesn't appear to have that ability.

Should I be able to do this on the Moto Droid with? (do I call it droid1? or A855 or??) Since my memory is fuzzy, how did it work on 2.1 and prior?

I don't have the Droid, but try this: Go to one of the contacts, Menu>Edit>Link.

Thanks, but I already looked there. Its not there.

I could be wrong, but i have noticed the contact link between FB and contacts has been from contacts who have their phone number on their FB profile.

Go to a contact, then Menu->Edit Contact. Once it opens go to Menu->Join. Is that what you're looking for?

I think the names have to match for it to find a Facebook profile to link to, though.

Also, in the Facebook app, under settings, make sure you selected Sync All Contacts and not just Contacts on the Phone. If it doesn't auto-join, it thinks the contact is not on the phone.

That's it!! Thank you!!

I guess I got too used to how on the INC and X, its right there, easy to see/hit..
