I'm having an issue with the built in facebook support, I can sign in to flickr and twitter, but when I try to sign in to my facebook so I can link with contacts, it says that the service is currently unavailable....something I'm missing? I'm running fresh rom 0.7 with the patches.
I am having the same problem. Are you using the Hero or Eris? I have an Eris and am having this problem.
I'm seeing this post topic on all the boards right now. It must be down.
It must have something to do with the new privacy settings that Facebook just implemented.

i wonder if maybe you need to log in to facebook.com from your phone and accept the privacy policy?
Thats a no go. I just logged in to Facebook with the Android app and I still can't login through the Social network option.
Facebooks no privacy settings reset all of your privacy and app options. We may have to wait for an update for it to work properly, but mine doesn't sign in either, not even Bloo or Fbook.
not sure but....
after many...many....many retries it finally connected, that was weird, I just hope that I never have to go through that again (no more wipes for me unless absolutely neccesary)
Anyway, weird glitch, I could log in with the Facebook for Android app though, so not sure what would have caused that.

I'm pretty sure all that app does is interact with their website as opposed to using the API. Looks like the problems were with the API.
www.facebook.com is down as of right now. I tried from work internet and my phone 3g.
I imagine they are having some problems.
Good thing I found this post, I didn't notice a problem until immediately after installing unofficial MoDaCo 1.2c and I've been flashing recovery images all day trying to fix it.
It is working for me now. I haven't done anything to either my phone or Facebook options sense yesterday. Wonder what it was? Oh well, as long as it is working.
Facebook sync appears broken
To give you a little background, I've had a rooted Hero for quite a while now. I have been running Fresh 1.1 since it was released. I have also had my Facebook linked so I have all of my contacts with pictures and info in my phonebook.
Well after a few other mods on my phone like taskbars, icons, etc. I decided to wipe and go back to a fresh install of Fresh 1.1 again. I linked my Facebook profile again and after a few hours everyone was showing back up in my contacts list with pictures and such.
Last night my phone started acting weird and alot of things were FC'ing, maybe 3 or 4 things, but I didn't look at what specifically. Later last night I realized all my facebook stuff was gone again from my contacts list. I thought that maybe it was because of one of the processes that FC'd so I restarted the phone but as of this morning still a phonebook full of blank heads.
Anyone else had this issue? I've tried logging out and logging back in and everything. Any help would be appreciated, the phonebook looks so ugly without everyones pictures.
It may be a coincidence, but facebook itself has some severe issues right now. Some people are of a mind that the "new" viewing heuristics are themselves broken. You now view based on your history and interactions with/of your friends. My age there is 100 so it they write (email) to me personally.
Facebook Error
I am unable to sign into Facebook from the app it from HTC senses Facebook. I have tried wiping everything and various ROMs but im having the sane problem. any help would be appreciated
Sync Facebook Calendar
I am having a problem getting my facebook calendar to sync. I am running a Damagecontrol 2.1 Rom when I 1st set the phone up I'll see my facebook calendar entries in my calendar and eventually they disappear and the option to disply the facebook calendar also disappears. Does anyone have any insight?
facebook/google birthdays
i have some contacts that i have entered birthdays for in my google address book, however they are also friends of mine on facebook. i noticed within the calendar widgets that it lists the birthdays for these contacts twice once for the google contacts calendar and one for the facebook calendar. Is there a way to fix this so for linked contacts it only lists the birthday on one calendar.

uncheck facebook in your calendars to show.
well i would like the birthdays of friends who i dont have on google to show up still, i just don't want duplicates and i dont want to go through all my google contacts and remove their birthdays.
Contacts facebook link
Is there a way to link all contacts with their appropriate facebook account automatically, i remember in 1.5 it would auto predict and suggest linking automatically for all the contacts, there is no option to do all contacts in 2.1...
anyone know of a way to go about doing that instead of painfully going one by one...
Has anybody else been having issues with the built in Facebook app on Nexus? Every time I try to retrieve notifications I get an error telling me it cannot retrieve.
Getting the same issue. Uninstalled using root explorer and tried reinstalling - no dice. The other version was from the Droid dump.
I wasn't ever able to get notifications working on my MT3G on the Facebook app.
Yes, I think it is some bug Google didn't quite work out before the release. I emailed them and got the standard response that they are aware of the problems...ie facebook...ie...polar clock dynamic color...and is working on it! Let's see how long they take to get it fixed!
I am having exactly the same problem with the facebook app on my hero. Its not a phone specific problem here, but either a facebook issue or an issue with the app itself.
It worked fine on my MT3G, just not so great on the N1 hopefully a patch rolls out soon
works on my N1
Facebook- Synced Contacts Name Issue
After syncing Facebook contacts with phone contacts, it changes the name of the contact to whatever it is in Facebook and 'overrules' whatever other name you have in phone.
I.e.- if you have your dad saved as 'Dad' in your phone and sync with his Facebook contact, it will overrule the name 'Dad' in your phone and display it as his full name a la his Facebook name.
This is ANNOYING as who searches parents by full name?? and others of course.....
Any help??
I don't like this either... there needs to be an option in the settings to make Gmail contacts the dominant/controlling information.
Eager for a solution to this.

Go into your contact list. Hit menu, then accounts. Add an account, select Facebook.
Don't think it's a FB Client for N1/Android. I'm having issues with checking notifications directly on the facebook mobile client (which I prefer). This isn't the first time that FB have made changes to the interface without notifications and somethings things are broke for awhile.
My notifications were working again, last night, both the FB Mobile and FB for Android for a very short time and are now broken again.
It's not your phone nor the client. it's the FB developers.
running android on my touch pro (winmo device), facebook app worked fine. facebook status update, when checked online thru pc, says 'status updated with facebook for android). widget works fine too, scrolls right through everyone's status
Yeah, getting the same errors, too.
Facebook Pics + Sync with contacts?
Is the Facebook app that is installed supposed to take a facebook profile and sync and apply the picture with a contact card on the phone? I notice that it adds a facebook section when editing a contact and you could choose to use the facebook picture, however, it doesn't sync the picture to the contact. I check google.com/contacts to verify and there is either 1) no picture, or 2) an old picture that can be updated. I know it mentioned facebook syncing in the app for pictures, status, and contact info, however, the picture doesn't seem to get applied to the contact.
So, did some poking around and found the SyncMyPics. Is this app redundant to what is featured in the facebook app? Or, is it necessary to achieve what I would like?
Thanks!
I'm not sure why you are having that issue. Mine worked perfectly. The only issue I had was where I got dupes because names were incorrectly spelled.
I know that with the Hero ROM on my G1, not all of my contacts would sync pics from Facebook. It probably has to do with the level of security those users have. I'd say only a third of my contacts' pics from FB would sync. This could be the same issue? Are only some of your contact pics syncing?
Well...
My previous phone was a Touch Pro and using custom ROMsm I would use the facebook feature a lot where it would update the FB picture to the phone contact, then, it would get synced to Google using MS Exchange.
I just noticed a few friends changing their pictures. Did a force sync under accts and sync and noticed the contect picture didn't get changed... Sp, I'm wondering what is going on here?
Basically, shouldn't the FB app be updating the contact icons when there is a change.. then syncing them with google contacts?
I am looking through my contacts list and I am noticing several of my contacts have several links to their same facebook profile. Since they are Facebook, I am unable to delete them. How can you have several Facebook links to the same Facebook profile? If I unlink them then I have separate entries in contacts.
Did you just download the upgrade to facebook? I had mine working fine and then I downloaded the upgrade which was suppose to fix issue with the syncing timing out. Then suddenly I had 9 facebook contacts for each person it was sync'd too

Yes I do have the updated version.
I had the same problem, what I did was unlink both facebook accounts from my contacts, which removed everything facebook related and then just added 1 back.
That was my solution as well, but I'm not relishing the prospect of doing that for every facebook contact I have. Anyone come up with a quicker fix yet?
What he means is to remove the facebook accounts completely from the menu, settings, accounts screen.
Then when you add one back be sure to use the top one that is listed under "Integrated contact accounts." The sync from the new version of facebook does not work properly on our phones for some reason.
Same problem- removing facebook account doesnt remove links
Each contact of mine has 4 "unknown" links that seem to be facebook links. I cant seem to find a way around manually deleting each link one by one. I removed the facebook sync accounts and the facebook contacts still show up and the duplicates are still there. Also when I try to go to display options it says "sim initializing" and stays there. Only if I take out my SIM card and replace it can I access the display options Advice? This also caused my phone to run out of database memory and slow it down alot.
Greetings All,
I recently purchased my Nexus S. I have multiple google & google hosted email accounts.
Today, I noticed a lag on the gmail app accounts page.
I was checking to see if I had new mail in my accounts and it took a few seconds for the totals to load on the page that displays all your accounts and their new mail totals.
Am I just being paranoid?

Is this in the Gmail app, or the Email app?
Do you have background data syncing enabled? Mobile data enabled? WiFi sleep policy to "never"?
Could you be more specific in what you're expecting to happen and what's making you paranoid? It sounds to me like maybe the app wasn't syncing in the background until you woke up the phone and opened the app, forcing it to call the mothership and ask for a sync.
I've noticed some strange occurrences with the Gmail app myself. The most common occurrence is that I archive new emails and then find that the app still claims I have unread messages which it will not let me access. It just says at the top Inbox (XXX). Usually clearing data for gmail fixes it, but in some cases I have to uninstall gmail entirely and reinstall it to get it working.

I'm sure I've mentioned it elsewhere, but my only issue with the gmail app on the Nexus S is that outgoing messages sometimes get stuck in the outbox and the only way to get rid of them is to clear data and cache for the app.
Isn't the gmail app universal across android 2.x products? It's just a Market download. I don't notice my gmail problem with the one on my i9000.

I've had the same issue with the last three phones I've owned (mind you they've been in quick succession) so I don't think its a Nexus S specific issue. I had just hoped it would go away. However, I've also experienced the issue you speak of. Actually, there is one in my outbox now that I'm too lazy to deal with (its just a message with an apk I wanted to modify so I was emailing it to my comp to deal with).
I have my business email (@ my own server) set up in the Mail app and it's been working perfectly for months, but just yesterday it suddenly stopped downloading new emails. I redid all the incoming/outgoing settings and the app says "verifying account settings ..." and it was able to verify that they were correct. I also know they're correct because they've been working fine and I didn't change anything at all, the app just suddenly decided to stop downloading my emails. I also didn't change any of the settings on my server, and Thunderbird on my desktop still downloads my new emails just fine.
I'm using HTC Desire with the stock 2.2 rom, no backup software. This has happened once before but it was because I didn't have any internal storage left, but this time I checked and I have a lot of space, so I have no idea why it won't download them. Everything else (internet browser, gmail, etc) works fine. Am on AT&T in the US.
Anyone know why this happened? How to fix it?
edit: solved. paypal had sent me an email with some weird characters in the subject which blocked it from downloading in the app which also stopped all further emails from downloading. Deleted it through Thunderbird and now everything works. god how I hate paypal
