Does anyone know if there is some kind of possibility to copy facebook contacts to my phone? I'm using Android+Facbook sync. Phone is rooted... I have at least 100 people who are facebook contacts and the ones I don't want to loose, but I'm not even able to copy paste their number not to mention copying them to phone/sim card...
I know facebook doesn't want you to do it, but there has to be a way....
The way I copied facebook contact information was to sync to yahoo contacts, then export yahoo contacts, then import into google contacts.
I'm not sure how this would work on/in the mobile ecosystem, but I'd have to imagine that getting on your desktop/laptop computer for a few minutes would be worth the effort of backing up the information.
I just uninstalled facebook from my android phone. The facebook contacts and their information is still being shown in my phone contacts list. I am not sure if it will be deleted in future (during some sync operation). If that happens, I may install it back again. In the latter scenario, merging the contacts however will be a pain.
Okay, I tried to look some more. I discovered that there is a "Facebook" option in the accounts list that I can add on my phone (Motorola Droid Bionic). This facebook account was responsible for the facebook contacts in my address book. So, I went to the facebook website and revoked its permission to access my account.
Its been more than a day now, and the facebook contacts are still there in my phone. May be you want to add the facebook account, and then revoke its permission from the facebook website. I think this will leave your facebook accounts in your phone.
I will update this post if my contacts disappear in near future.
