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?
If you have any spaces, dashes, or an apostrophes (like I do) it looks as though it causes a problem with com.htc.bgp. When I had an apostrophe in my last name on Facebook no matter what I tried I could not sync using the People app. This morning I tried taking the apostrophe out on Facebook, deleting the account from my phone, deleting HTC Sense and Android Facebook permissions in the account settings under applications on the Facebook website then re-adding my Facebook account on my Hero under Accounts & Sync. It loaded my Facebook account without the apostrophe. I then opened the people app and attempted to link a contact and to my surprise I seen my Facebook contacts loading up instead of "no matches"! It has been months since I could use the people app to sync with Facebook and I have tried all the brute methods and just turning down your memory killer! Give it a try if you have any characters that aren't letters in your first or last name on Facebook.
I am running Damage Control 2.09.1 overclocked with 2.6.36 darkshizz kernel. If overclocked you must turn the settings back to stock (dconfig, setcpu, all memory killers, etc).
*Edit* I just put the apostrophe back in my name on Facebook and synced again. It kept my name without the apostrophe and still allowed me to sync new contacts!
I want to know how to only sync the contacts I have and not import all my friends from facebook, like how 1.5 used to be. I hate having a ton of extra contacts I never call in my dialer!
Use the stock/non htc facebook app. it does this exactly.
Good to know, thanks for posting.
Mods, should this be moved to the Themes and Apps forum?
For some reason when i click on facebook in accounts and sync nothing happens. Is this linked to the actual facebook app you download from the market?....I want to try to reinstall it. Cleared my facebook cache...still nothing.
Running fresh rom.

I had this happen when I switched to DarchDroid 2.7. I solved the issue by searching the market for facebook, and it told me I needed to upgrade. I had the typical notification show me other apps that needed upgraded but had no mention of Facebook. After I upgraded it, I was able to sync in the accounts area just fine. Hope that helps.
THANK YOU!!!
You are a god among men. I've been searching for a fix for this for MONTHS, and nobody's had an answer. Thank you so much!!! +9,001 Internets for you.
I have tried and tried to update my APP and no luck. I can only open it. any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't really know but when I went to the downloads part of my market it didn't say that Facebook needed to update, but after further investigation I realized that it wasn't in the download list at all. So I searched the market for it and when it found it, it told me that it had an update available. So if you have already tried that and it won't work, then I would say you should try removing the old Facebook app altogether and then just get the new one from the market.
So the fix for the extra Facebook synced contacts in the dailer is to use the Facebook App instead of the HTCFacebook ?
I had the same problem and I fixed it by uninstalling Facebook for Android and in settings>accounts & syncs, I removed Facebook account. I then re-downloaded Facebook for Android and in accounts & sync, I added Facebook for HTC NOT Facebook for Android.
you cant use the regular facebook app if you have sense.........
I have one web development company. I use Google android os version 3.2 my problem is Yahoo Messenger atm?
Worked beautifully last night, but now this morning I'm unable to see any of my contacts' statuses, whether they're online or not, and completely unable to receive any messages.
People GET my messages, as I proved with my non-mobile Yahoo account. Tried logging out and logging back in, rebooting my EVO, uninstalling and reinstalling off the Market...nothing.
Even tried logging in via my iPad's Messenger app, but it worked flawlessly on there. Just Android seems to be having the issue currently, at least for me.
Anyone else? Plz Help
Thanks
