My friend stream widget appears to be not working. It doesnt pull any updates unless I make a status update. Even then, it just shows mine. Any way to fix this? Ive tried redoing the entire account and still no luck. The twitter widget works fine though as well as enabling twitter in the stream widget.. facebook just wont update.
Any thoughts?

Do you have your Sync Friends with Contacts setting turned on?
Go to: Facebook app >> Settings >> Sync Contacts
Select "Sync all" or "Sync with existing contacts"
I'm also having trouble connecting to HTC's friend stream server and after trying to reset and re enter my fb user Id and password it says the service is not available...
Ps I'm using mikes revolution 3.2 Rom
I too am having a message come up when i try and log into facebook for htc/friendstream saying service is unavailable is there a way to fix or work around this?

If the Service is unavailable it is most likely something on HTC and FB end. With all the privicy issues FB is facing I have a feeling we will be having more and more issues like this.

Has any one got this to work? Mine just says it down and try later?
Yeah mine just worked. I downloaded the Facebook app from the market though. I didn't know the phone came with one.

The Facebook Sync that came with the device isn't working for me either. "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
Not working for me either. No bueno!
It's not working for me either... I get the same message as some other posters, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I have tried re-installing the facebook app, and removing the facebook account in Settings>Accounts and sync. No luck yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I haven't gotten mine to work either. I have the same errors as everyone else is reporting.
I don't see any other way of doing it via downloading a market app either.
I really don't care if it is integrated via samsung or an app, I just want to check it out.
Any suggestions?
Someone should try to contact AT&T or Samsung about this.
Having the same problem here. What did you do to accomplish the same with the Facebook app?
I don't know what happened but mine finally started working. I did root the device but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
So facebook is now showing contacts on my phone, as far as actually properly 'syncing' I don't know yet.
However, they must have just fixed what was wrong with the connection.
More later
Bloo is an app that'll give you notifications similar to the BB FB app when someone sends a message or makes a comment or even pokes you. Although I have had issues when I try to go to the photo that someone just commented about, bloo can't get there. But it does notify me. I just have to use the FB app if I want to reply back.
Mine worked fine yesterday.

My fb sync is definitely not working either. I've probably tried it at least 15 times since sunday. A few hard resets, reseating battery and sim. Tried setting up fb sync as the very first thing after a hard reset so no other settings or accounts conflicted... Nothing. I would very much like this to work. Whats strange is that in the contacts application the activities tab pulls my news feed, but within my contacts and groups there are 0 contacts that show and I get the sync error saying it will be back shortly in the accounts settings.
any update on this? i really want my facebook contacts to sync.
Still no go for me either :/

Yep, same here. It pulls in my activities, but not my contacts with the very same error. I've read on some other forums that it's a FB error and resolves itself when it feels like it. But it does seem weird that it would get updates and not contacts unless it's pulling that from somewhere else. I'm wondering if it has to do with the security settings I have set up on FB?
Well I finally got it to work. Contacts sync 2 days ago but did have to lynk a few manually. Then it would just have a error if it tried to auto sync. Rooted my phone yesterday day and removed att apps and now it will sync every hour no problems. Duno if either helped but worth a shot.

Mines not working. What's going on? Anyone
I have the At&t Captivate, but it looks like this is an issue that could stretch across all Galaxy S phones. A quick Google search will bring up quite a few posts/threads on Samsung's Facebook page about it too.
I use the built-in SNS sync for Facebook, which is what Samsung uses under the default Android Account settings.
I've flashed a few ROMs, and at some point (I think it was after trying some of the I9000 ROMs), my Facebook wouldn't sync my contacts anymore. I get the message "sync is currently experiencing problems. try again later".
The things I've tried:
-Flash back to stock & other ROMs
-Clear all cache data in CWM
-Delete SNS Account data under Application Settings
-Delete Samsung Mobile from my applications on Facebook
-Changing my Facebook password
-Tried logging in with someone else's Facebook account, same error with their's
The Android Facebook app loads up fine, but with Samsung, it doesn't sync contacts, it forces you to use SNS for that.
Under Contacts, if I go to the Activity tab, I can see the news feed, but it still errors out and won't pull any contacts over.
Any other suggestions?
Facebook changed how it does authentication, guessing samsung hasnt updated to handle that yet.
Odd that mine works fine. Only time I have seen problems is if I don't log into google account first after flashing. Just flashed to andromeda and everything synced fine.
After you've signed into facebook (settings->accounts) try going into the contact app itself and press the menu button.
2 options might work.
1. "sync sns data"
2. "get friends"
Hope this helps

I had Google setup since its required for the Market, but I didn't sync anything with it (I use Exchange), so just to try it, I checked for it to sync contacts and tried again and still got the error.

I'm not sure about that since some people seem to have no problems with it. I also tried someone else's Facebook account just to make sure it wasn't a setting in mine, and her's didn't work either.
Ever since I switched back to my Android phone, Push notifications for mentions never worked on my account anymore. Every time I go to enable it and push back, then go back to see if its still enabled, it automatically disables itself. Now I thought to my self that the app could be just broken, but I have 2 Twitter accounts, and my secondary account I use gets notifications just fine, buy my main one doesn't want to keep them enabled. So I thought it was my phone so I tried logging in on another Android device I have, same problem. Now with the new update that they released today, me thinking it would fix the problem, I go to turn on notifications, then I get "Updating Notification Settings" ......... "There was a problem updating notification setting". I have tried Googling this but can't find a fix anywhere. Any ideas?

Having the exact same problem.. tried deleting the data, removing the account. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app.. try checking if just 'Tweets' works.. that one works for me. But I don't want that.. lol
I'm having the same issue, I even tried resetting my phone from scratch with no data whatsoever, I even formatted it and wiped everything, I'm using CM9 on a Samsung Galaxy S2
RUnning the new v3.2.0, trying to set notification preferences, when I exit back to acct prefs, I get a toast saying "There was a problem updating notification settings." Is that what you're seeing as well?

Dan, I should have finished reading your post, lol
Yeah i guess its not just me, but im wondering why it does that for specific accounts? Like my second Twitter account works fine. I downloaded the Twitter 3.0 apk from 4shared, and that worked fine. I guess They keep breaking their own app.
3.0 works for you? Sweet. I'm gonna give it a go

This happens when you have multiple mobile (android and ios) devices all signed in to one twitter account. Somewhere along the line, in between flashing ROMs with different build id's and or having two devices will confuse Twitter in a sense, so sign out and uninstall twitter from the other devices, go the desktop twitter site, and in settings, revoke twitter permissions you've granted and sign back in on your device. Everything will work fine. You'll be surprised that every twitter app you've ever tried is still in there, with access. Kill em' all....
Using the browser this link http://mobile.twitter.com/settings/change_ui will take you to the desktop version. Its a pain otherwise.
Settings>Apps you'll see it from there..

Not getting push notifications on my Samsung galaxy note 2 4.1.2 .twitter ver 4.1.2 .have tried revoking access .signing out of device app.deleteing the app reinstalling then signing bk in .activating master sync and twitter sync.still not getting and notifications. able to get whatsapp Facebook gtalk and other notifications without any problem.
Just go to twitter.com / Settings / App / Then revoke Twitter for Android.
After doing it, Log in to Twitter for Android, put you password, and notifications should work!
I've read all the threads regarding this topic and I couldn't get an answer so I'll ask
Facebook for Android has been skipping n a lot of my notifications. All I get notifications for are comments, nothing else.
I know it's not the phone, this has been happening over every Android I have had, also friends can log-in and get their notifs.
But I also don't think it's the account because I made a fake account to test is and I didn't get notifications either.
I tried all the connected app clearing, didn't work.
Any Other Ideas? :laugh:
Thanks in Advance

If all your friends get notifications and you don't, it seems you need to change your notification settings in www.facebook.com
No other option I guess
Id get rid of the app all together. Its a data and battery hog!
Trying to see if ANYONE has a solution to Facebook not logging in on the main Facebook account. If you use the "Dual Messenger" capability you can log into Facebook and Facebook Messenger from the secondary account, just not the first. Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite work also. When you try and log in on the main account is just keeps booting back to the log-in screen. I have tried:
- Clearing Cache
- Clearing Data
- Uninstall/Reinstall of Facebook and Facebook Messenger
- Install of older version of Facebook and Facebook Messenger
- remove 2-factor Auth for Facebook
- Change Facebook Password
- Turn off Code Generator
and probably more just can't remember
You can also not log into a Facebook account under the "Accounts" section in Settings. This only works with the main Facebook account on your phone and will not register the Dual account. So, that is why you really need to have the main account working or none of the apps that work with Facebook will see Facebook (other than the Dual Facebook Messenger app). One other interesting thing I found was that if you click "forgot my password" and put in your email, it says there is no network. Obviously that is incorrect since I logged in to the app, as well as everything else on my phone is connected to the network, and it sent me a login code. (Tried on Wifi and LTE to see if that made a difference too)
I tried calling Samsung and their only response was to restore the phone (just like always) which is really a copout. I also put in ticket with Facebook (3 actually), but they really have no support. I even went into a Best Buy store and there was a Samsung Expert there that day. She tried anything she could think of as well and NOTHING worked.
The thought now is that it is probably an issue related to Oreo but wondering is anyone has run into this issue and has a fix. I have seen numerous posts about the same issue with What's App, Facebook, and Facebook Messenger.

It's amazing that not one person has found a solution for this. Based on Facebook and Facebook Messenger updates still not working and the multiple posts around this same thing happeneing with WhatsApp too, it looks to be a major Oreo bug. Hopefully there will be a patch soon before many other people log out of one of these apps and can't log in.
Obviously Facebook "support" (or lack thereof) has yet to respond to ANY submission, post, or anything on any mesia throughout the hundreds of posts from people.
i suggest you to backup your device & do a complete factory rest your device because after os update users face this type of problems a factory reset may help you

I have read many posts where this is happening on WhatsApp and Messenger and a factory reset did not work either. I know that is the first answer for any support line but usually it is because they don't know anything and they just want to tell you something. I am not sure how a factory reset would do more than resetting all settings and resetting Facebook itself. Also, just think there is more of a bug since Facebook Messenger actually logs in but immeadiatly logs back out.
If there is anyone who has actually fixed this issue from a factory reset I would happy to try, as I have tried EVERYTHING else. So far, the only posts I have found say it did not work.
Well, tried the full reset and just as I figured, a LOT of time waisted. Still does not work. The second "Dual" user of Facebook works fine, just not the first. The ONLY difference is that now, instead of instantly looping back to the login page it stays on a screen saying "logging in" for about 5 min before it just stops and goes back to log in screen.
EDIT...FINALLY figured out the issue...it was related to an ad blocker app. I had tried turning that off before and didn't work but I think after the full uninstall, reboot, reset, everything of Facebook it FINALLY decided to work.
