I havent had a problem with the Facebook app in the 3 weeks I've had this phone, but now... I get a No Content message when checking the News Feed followed by: "'An error occured while fetching data. [null]"
Is this the phone side or Facebook side? What can I do if anything? Thanks in advance.
i had some issues with facebook so i reset/cleared the data for the app under app management, and it fixed my issues. If nothing else, try it...
good luck!
Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue.. Facebook for Android
Scroll down to Bob Fitzgerald and you'll see the comments I got there.. its def. not the phone.
Yup.. I'm getting the same problems. The clear data and cache didn't help either.
My face book does not work at all. I called Verizon support and they told me it is a known issue that has been sent to HTC.
Why not use the friendstream app? Seems to work better anyway.

My stock froyo facebook app was working perfect and today will not fetch data. Even after I cleared it and re-logged in.
Any one else having problems??

I think this is a problem on their servers (Facebook) as I have the same issue on 5.0.7.1 and from what I have found it randomly fixes itself after a few days somehow in most cases. First time it happened to me as well.
The message that I get is something like "An error had occurred while fetching data [null]"
Do you get a similar message?
ye same problem for me as of last night ~10pm GMT
I also have this problem on CM 5.0.6
Probably facecbook issue.
I get that as well but i'm on CM507 and it was working!
Yup!
Same error code!
Thanks
I was about to reload some stuff
Doesn't seem to be wanting to fetch data. It's a facebook issue. I really do hope a new optimised app for froyo will be out soon, and bring more goodies to the table. This app is starting to feel old (not to mention the bugs)

Yeah, defiantly seems to be a server issue on their side, nothing much you can really do other then try touch.facebook.com and use that as a bookmark and place it on your home screen or something.
Same here and I'm on 5.0.6 and I also think it's a facebook issue.
Side note: This maybe old but anyone seen the option to 'download facebook for Nexus One' at the bottom of the mobile site? it just takes me to a blank page.
Yeah same issue as of a few hours ago on the stock leaked FroYo. Glad it's not just me, lol. The weird thing is the widget is updating!
good thing we have flash to access the real website
I think its a mobile facebook issue.. My gf's Cliq and a buddy's BB Curve have been having issues since last night as well as my N1
Yeah it must be a facebook issue. I am having the same error on my froyo nexus one, and my 2.1 htc hero. Very wierd that the widget still updates. Come one facebook, release a REAL facebook app for android.
Possibly because of the new privacy changes.
Whew - someone else having the same problems!
I installed Froyo last night and Facebook worked fine for the first few hours, but starting late last night it's been having the "Fetching" problems.
Go figure?
*sigh* I bet this has something to do with it:

I am also having this error. Very annoying!

Interesting.
Seriously hope this improves FB for Android.
Its doo doo balls right now.
Doing the same thing for my girlfriend and a friend with Droids so it's Facebook.
I surmise there's an update coming soon for the official app that uses the new Facebook Android APIs including the new facebook graph API.
Let's hope they include chat soon too...
Same problem. Installed FB Touch as replacement meanwhile.
I also have problems with my email app. It force closes easily. Annoying.
Hey people I use the facebook app a pretty good bit on my sensation although the push notifications only worked maybe 10 % of the time... it's really agravating and i knew it was suppose to work and i knew my buddies using iphones get push notifications EVERY time, so i googled the problem, and it seems the push notifications ot working on android isnt just a sense thing its an android thing all together.. facebook has working apps for blackberry and iphone why there lazy a$$ refuses to fix the android app is beyond me but untill they do here is a fix... I know it sounds crazy and is a slight pain in the ass but know it does work for me and obviousy a bunch of others.. i found this by just googling "fixing facebook notifications for android" and since ive done this i havent missed a single notification... although when i do this for my tablet the phone quits getting the push notifications but when i log out of the facebook app on my tablet i recieve the notifications on my phone again.. i know wierd right... but ive tested this stuff for some days now and although i dont know why it works the way it does it does work like i say it does... your case may be different but ive done it for my phone my girls and my homeboyz phone..
To do this all you need is a computer and an internet connection, the first article i found does it the same way but the second one you can do the same thing just using a computer, *It uses the blackberry facebook app to complete the workaround* I know i know it sounds crazy but IT WORKS! anyways here is the link follow the directions to the T and you should never miss another facebook notification on your sensation again, how it works who knows.. but it does.. anyways just hit the thanks button.. thanks
One thing, when you log into facebook on the computer as per the instructions, i didnt see blackberry facebook app in applications tab... i did see it in the notifications tab, and i had to click it there to check it!
Kinda a check list of things to make sure you do...
1. log out off facebook app on android
2. remove facebook account in account/sync settings
3. clear facebook data in settings/applications/manage apps
3. log in blackberry app/ click the yes for notifications inside blackberry app
4. log out off blackberry app
5. go on computer login facebook make sure the blackberry smartphone check box is checked in either apps and notifications i only seen the one in notifications, but check both
6. log in android app
7. Profit!
just a reminder list check out the site...

Worked perfectly for me, sometimes you still have to disable Facebook for Blackberry and re-enable it but it works!
I moved straight to Android from Blackberry, and have never had problems with push notifications. People that have never had a BB before need to start making fun of their friends that do have it and start begging
I've been around every setting I can find (On the website) put ticks in all the boxes for the app itself but I receive no notifications on my phone about any facebook content.
Will try this BB method tonight.
So does this work on ICS or not... Last thing you said is you'll try it

I too did this fix after doing some googling!
I had never had push notifications working properly.
Went to a local phone shop that had a load of blackberries out and signed into one then signed back out. Now works perfectly using ARHD 6.6.3. Get all the push notifications.
Phil
Sweet!
I'll try it as soon as I get home
Yep just sign into the facebook app with a blackberry and after that I notice the android notifications are much more reliable ... Something to do with permissions
Why not just use Friendcaster? It's faster, far less ugly and has push notifications enabled.

Should work on a Blackberry Playbook?
Definitely works!
Used a virtual blackberry
Also, the latest Facebook update didn't fix this...
Hi guys.
I have tried this solution on my sgs2 with ICS.
I did all the steps on blackberry simulator, and i have blackberry smartphone check box only in my notifications in facebook settings, but it's not in the applications :/
any ideas why?
I would ask in the Thread of ROM but im new to here and so i can only post here.
I have little Issue with Facebook App
Login and notifications works, but i open the App and see Connection Lost - tap to retry.
Wlan or 3G its equal. All other apps thats uses Internetconnection works perfect.
I have upgrade the radio to 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 one day earlier.
Or is it a facebook related problem??
big thx
greets jr!

Facebook app is by far the buggiest and slowest app i ever ran on my android phone, seriously it's almost unusable, tried it with 3 phones on 3 different networks, slow as hell and it doesn't know what "caching" means, even.
You're better off with "Fast for facebook" or "FriendCaster"
You can try clearing the app's data if you want, might work!
Thx for answer.
i have tried your tips but nothing helps.
Only friendcaster works. Faster for Facebook make a fc on login.
greets jr
i use friendcaster to view facebook pages and facebookmessenger to view msg. only thing is i cant put it to offline in the messenger.
hi everybody!
im having problems with my moto g again. the last thing i did was installing textsecure because i had problems with threema. i think all those problems relate to using davdroid (instead of google) to sync my calendar and contacts.
anyways, after installing textsecure when i try to open my contacts or my dialer it pops up for a second (and it looks totally normal showing my contacts etc.) and then shuts down immediately (like a crash). in recent apps the preview window for either one is just black...
im not really sure where to begin trouble shooting or how to fix this. is there a way to log whats going on there to pinpoint whats causing this or is there a better way to sync stuff (using the caldav standard). although im not 100% sure davdroid is the cause for this it also could be a xprivacy setting but neither the dialer nor the contacts are restricted by it in any way.
i uninstalled textsecure and after a restart everything seems back to normal again, but i need a working messenger and i'd like it to be encrypted (no hangouts or whatsapp for me).
any recommendations on where to start or working alternatives would be greatly appreciated!
thanks for reading and kind regards

What runtime are you using? If you are not running Art might want to send a bug report to the developer on your issues. Might be a compatibility issue with the phone or davdroid.

im not really sure what 'runtime' or 'art' would be, but im running stock rom (4.4.4, rooted) if thats what this is referring to!?
a bug report might be a good idea anyways ^^
thanks for your input!
edit:
oh yea, i forgot to mention: i reinstalled textsecure without the sms-functionality and now it seems to run just fine (dialer and contacts arent crashing anymore)! maybe this helps somebody for now...
I use Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C that is rooted and running official marshmallow. All was going well for 6-7 months. But suddenly I am not getting push notification from the facebook app for the last month. The only time I am getting push notification from the facebook app when I try to login from another browser and a code is needed from code generator. Push notification from other apps, email, instagram etc are working. I have tried clearing data of the app, turning off platform, uninstalling greenify. Butnothing worked. What to do now? Please help.
Hi there so generally the facebook app is unliked around here because it takes up a huge amount of RAM. Many people here prefer to use an alternate client for facebook I've heard of some I think you should try some out if you feel you have done everything to activate push notifications. Here is a rddit link in case you are wondering about some opinions https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/3k2ol0/facebook_app_alternative/

actually nothing can deliver like the official app
I wouldn't now since I don't really use Facebook. Have you tried restoring a backup through titanium or some fashion?

yup bro
There actually might be a setting that might have to do with this however we could have a better idea if you tried using the Facebook app on another device. Have you tried doing that?

No, I don't have another android device. When I use swipe pro, push notification works in that app. and in facebook app itself, for code generator notification and someone is live notification, push notification works immediately. Someone told me that this is facebook's problem. He faced the same problem. After his reporting for 2 times to facebook, they resolved it some days later.
Then you should probably contact Facebook if its a problem on their end that way you can now for sure if you can fix it.
