Sync Facebook Contacts with Android

Hi there.

It's been about a month that i realized my Android phone cannot be synched with Facebook account since this phone doesn't have Motoblur account. I am really sad about it because i believe, there will be a time when i need the email address.

So i googled this site, and then found a very simple method on how to synch your Facebook account into your Android contact without software or installation method. Here they are:

1. you must have both yahoo mail and gmail account (gmail account that you use in your android -Harapan).

2 login to your yahoo mail.

3.go to contact - then choose import email from facebook (it suck all your friend email address into your contact list)

4. export yahoo csv. download/save it.

5.login to your gmail (i found that you need to open you gmail account on standard mode as HTML mode doesn't provide you with uploading contact -Harapan)

6. upload the csv file to gmail contact.

I added this one:

7. If you have already register your gmail account on your Android phone, tap your gmail account and tap Sync Contacts.

  2. Yahoo! provides mechanism to get Facebook account. There are other Facebook third-party apps can do the same thing.
