If you use an HTC phone (I have the Incredible) and have signed in to Facebook and linked your friends’ Facebook profile with their Google\/phone contact, you may have noticed that it can be very difficult to remove a contact from the Favorites group once you have added them. This often means that the contact shows up on your People widget even though you don’t want it to. That’s because you cannot directly edit the group membership of the Facebook contact.<\/p>\n
This has led to suggestions involving unlinking, editing the groups, then relinking the contacts. Or even clearing your Facebook account information and re-entering it. However, none of that is necessary.<\/p>\n
Just leave the contact linked, and go to People, then Groups (at the bottom), go into the Favorites group (or whatever group you’re having the problem with). Hit the Menu button, then choose “Delete group member”. It will remove the contact, including the Facebook contact, from the group. Problem solved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
