I have installed the Facebook app on my HTC Desire (With rooted HTC rom 2.2). Although I am listed as away in Facebook, whenever someone talks to me I do not receive the chat on my phone (later when I log in to Facebook on my pc, the conversation comes up on the pc but never on the phone). The settings in the Facebook app are enabled to notify me when someone comments, talks to me via chat etc.
I've checked under accounts and sync & there is only the account for "Facebook for HTC sense" (Facebook related) and I am not allowed to add a "Facebook" account here although the option is available.
I've also had this issue on my Wildfire.
Any clues?
I also have the same issue, But for me in PC, it shows that some chat messages are received, "that red callout", but I can't even see the messages.

My gf has an LG Ally. She uses the stock email app, and has a yahoo account, university account (which is through gmail, but isn't an at-gmail-dot-com), and I think one other all through the stock app.
She's been having a problem where emails that she read, and in some instance deleted, on her phone, show up again on her phone as unread.
Anybody have any ideas what is causing this/possible fix?
I believe the yahoo email is IMAP (not sure about the others), but I'll talk to her shortly and update this post with specifics.
it seems my integrated facebook account will sync the calendar but not the contacts. anyone else with this problem?
i have a feeling it is on the facebook side because i'm coming from a captivate. when i look on my facebook page under Apps, it shows Samsung Mobile, but it says "6 months ago". I think facebook is confused between my old Samsung Mobile and my new one.
i think i figured it out. google supposedly changed the way you have to access android contacts forcing facebook to update their app. and consequently, the facebook app syncs just fine......but contacts only, there is no option to sync calendar.
the "integrated contact account" (that syncs facebook contacts and calendar even without the facebook app installed) fails on contact sync. the problem is this "integrated account" has not been updated (obviously because it was bundled with android 2.2). the "integrated account" synced just fine on my last phone that had android 2.3
is anybody experiencing a facebook chat "can't connect" problem? I've done multiple troubleshooting and it isnt' connecting on my rtm unlocked mango hd7
this has been going on for 2 days since yesterday afternoon I believe.
anyone else?
same its happening to my omnia7!!! i cant connect to any chat!. Allrdy try uninstalling the Facebook account and Resynchronizing it again.
then i got from the marketplace the Fim app(facebook chat) and also got connection issues...
all my Chats work fine with wifi but not on 3g! its possible that T-Mobile(my carrier) block those features since it worked nice 1 week ago!
have u found any solution?
thx
yes I have found the solution and I am talking about the integrated facebook chat with your messaging application for your phone, you have to go to windows live on your desk top and remove the facebook integration and delete facebook synched contacts off your phone, you have to reinstall both several times and it will eventually connect.
basically you are going to windowslive.com and removing facebook and then adding it back on again giving windowslive rights to access facebook for chat status updates etc.
and you will also be deleting your synched facebook contacts off your phone and reinstalling them account, in the email accounts settings of your phone.
on windowslive desktop i think when you add facebook back certain prompts like i said earlier will ask you to allow windows live to access facebook chat and other features of facebook, all of this tinkering took several hours, uninstalling and reinstalling from both phone and desktop, don't bother with the actual facebook app or FIM, if you are having problems with FIM i can't help you there, the integrated facebook chat is 10 times better than FIM which is why i was going crazy when it wasn't working
As you all know the nightmare of the BIG contacts list that appears when you hit "Phone" on the home screen which is due to grabbing both, the Contacts and Facebook friends...
And it is just not so handy to disable Facebook sync at all because you want the pictures, the link between existing contacts and Facebook contacts..
And if you tried to disable the "Sync Contacts" feature from Facebook for HTC account... It works... but just till your next restart of the phone, if you switched it off and back on... Bamm!... the Tick for "Sync Contacts" is back on again and you will soon have the big long list again :S
So is there any script or something that runs on startup to force disable the "Sync Contacts" feature??
Tried to post it on the development section but I wasn't allowed because I'm a new member.. If anyone could post as a request, to develop the script if possible.. I think it will be the end of this nightmare..

This is a question and therefore should be posted here in Q&A not Development section, that's why that rule is there....(thankfully).
If you only sync Facebook contacts where they exist in actual contacts...you don't such a big list to start with.
Or setup a favorite contacts group within your main contacts they will then appear first, along with the recently contacted people, so shouldn't be a problem. (ah I've just realised that this could well be a Sense 3.5 only feature....in which case time to unlock, root and flash some Sense 3.5 ROMS).
Plus the Phone is enabled for Smart dialing which permits you to whittle the contact list down in no time.
The thing with flashing other roms is the arabic support, I read it is not fully supported. I still can't understand why. I bought my phone from egypt and it has excellent arabic support..
Can't they just extract whatever from it and integrate it to their roms!
Anyway, About syncing only with existing contacts... When I updated the Facebook app, I was left with two accounts in the "Accounts & Sync"
1. Facebook for HTC (Old): Sync contacts, Sync live feeds
2. Facebook (New): Sync contacts, (Sync live feeds is missing from this account so the old account is necessary for any widget with a Facebook stream)
The Facebook for HTC has the whole problem, It loses its settings on every startup. I tell it to Not sync contacts and use the other account to sync contacts because I can set it to sync only existing contacts. But nothing, everything is lost with the restart.

I can't comment on Arabic support as I don't use it myself, it might be worth inquiring within the custom ROM thread that you consider using to see what the current users say, some might be using Arabic support.
When I was on Sense 2/3 (ie not 3.5) I only ever used the account type Facebook for HTC Sense and I avoided the un-secure HTTP facebook application, I used the secure HTTPS m.facebook.com website to access facebook.
In sense 3.5 there is only one Facebook account type and all is easier.
Does anyone else have issues with Facebook integration in the messaging hub? It says some of my friends who use Windows Phone are offline, even when their not, and not all messages get forwarded to my phone.
I dont really have any problems with the facebook intergration and messaging although i have had a problem with windows live contacts not showing up, for some reason they were getting put on ignore and you cannot see that on a wp7 device.
Perhaps dissociate your windows live account with facebook and try again there also could be a problem with your cellular data connection.
Integrated Facebook Chat WP7.5 contact Problems
I have a Nokia Lumia 710, WP7.5, Rogers Network. I've noticed during the last couple days that I can no longer access facebook friends on my messaging hub. Even with my facebook chat toggled on, I cannot see any of my fb contacts who are online. I have been able to chat with my hotmail contacts.
The problem started off as something minor, where I would have to toggle the facebook chat option (under MESSAGING SETTING), off then on, after which the my fb contacts would reappear, but now even that doesn't work.
Clueless as what to do now.
Thanks
I'm having the same problem, but in my case Facebook Chat never worked
I have the same problem. Any fixes?
