It's easily cleared by logging out and logging back into your account.

i did it but with no joy. still get the same error...
and the error only happen when i access my profile and the news feed...
I'm having the same problem, but it only happens when I try to view my own profile. I've reflashed and formatted - still no luck. Can anyone help?
same problem out of no were..tried everything with no luck
After doing some research it appears the issue is FB itself. All Android related FB apps are having the same issue.
Add me to the list. Everything was fine until the latest update.
I've found the error. It's not with FB. It's with the feed. Sometimes, there are things in your feed the JSON cannot read. That creates the error. I uploaded a youtube video and was constantly getting this error. I logged into FB from a desktop and deleted the post and now it works perfectly. Apparently, there are some things in the feed that aren't read correctly - creating the error. Hope this helps!

I'm actually surprised I was somewhat right about this issue in another thread in which I tried to answer this question. Here's my reply

I've seen this every once in a while and my guess is that there is something weird in your feed and when Facebook pulls that data from their database to your Facebook app using JSON that there is a weird character or something that's making the JSON corrupt. Once that item in your feed that's causing it to be corrupt is removed manually on the facebook site or automatically (items fall of your feed over time) the error will go away.

^^^ I find this to be correct ^^^
When someone posts something in the newsfeed that the droid facebook app doesn't like, then the app will give that error. After more people post in the newsfeed and the culprit post is weeded out, then it goes back to working. Same will go for looking at your friends profiles, or even at your own profile if someone posts something the app does not like.
Also, I get the same problem with Bloo, but Bloo does not state an error has occurred. It will just fail to load the feed, or profile, etc...
Wanted to also add in that this is a universal problem... meaning iPhone and WM users are also having facebook app failures do to something facebook has done on their end.
android FB
facebook on android is terrible iphone FB is far better (i hate iPhone, not a fan boy) hell even blackberry FB is better besides the contact sync the app is almost useless over 50% of the time
After two weeks with my Focus, I'm obviously loving it. Upgrading from the Tilt has brought new meaning to my life.
Anyway, I've had enough little problems come up that I thought I'd try and get some questions answered by those smarter than I!
Integrated Facebook: Ever since the first day, I've been having issues with my Facebook account. Specifically, under Settings>email & accounts, the Facebook account says "Attention Required." Clicking on the account brings up an error popup that says "Not updated/We're having a problem connecting. Try again later./Last tried 8 hours ago/Error code: 83CF3104." Previously it gave error code "85FB5300." Here's a useless thread I started at MS Answers: http://social.answers.microsoft.com...266a6d0/#53db5744-b48c-4af8-bad5-9fe0fe95f61c It does manage to update FB from time to time, but it's wildly inconsistent.
This isn't that big a deal, but when I go to Facebook.com and login using IE on the phone, I get the "pocket version" which doesn't have any content. "Mobile version" shows up as a link on the page, but nothing is clickable. No biggie since I have the app and integration, just annoying.
IHeartRadio seems to lockup every time I use it. When I navigate away from it and then want to go back, it tries to start, shows the logo, then backs out.
My second most unstable app is Marketplace itself! It behaves exactly the same as above.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
EDIT: Adding #5: Everyone says that I should be able to see an icon to find people on my exchange server, but I haven't been able to ever find it. I create a new email from my Outlook account, then click the "To" field to bring up my address book, but there is no link to my exchange directory. Am I doing something wrong?
do you have ssl enabled in facebook settings? if so, try disabling it.

I don't have an option for SSL in the Facebook account settings on the phone. Is that what you're asking?

I get "search exchange directory" buttons both in email and the people hub. In email, start typing the name of the person you're looking for, and the last entry in the list you get will be the exchange directory. Similarily, using search in the people hub will have exchange as the last possible button.

Yup! That's what I've heard, and what I don't get. I wonder if my company's implementation is messed up.

No... if you have the SSL option enabled on your Facebook account, not on your phone, the people hub will not update.
Seems to be an issue with the Focus as other WP7 users have not seen this issue,
I've looked every where I can in the phone and cannot see where the settings are that control the Facebook feed.
Log into Facebook via your web browser and disable the SSL setting under your security options.
For anyone still suffering this problem, I found a solution:
SOLUTION (from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...83cf0108/4c4c7887-2b8b-4a83-b816-bf26e265fe17)
I went through my People Hub, opening every contact that had no picture to see what account they were in. Most of them were contacts from my Live account, but ONE was a Facebook contact. (Per the thread above, Facebook connection problems can be caused by a friends' corrupt profile picture.) I went to her profile online (where the picture showed up fine) and unfriended her. I had to wait several hours for her to disappear from my People Hub, but once she did I immediately went to Settings>Email & Accounts and, for the first time ever, saw the Facebook account with no error message!
As I said, I have been suffering this error message since day 1, although I've seen at least 4 distinct error codes (85FB4400, 85FB5300, 83CF3104, 83CF0108). I tried deleting and restoring the Facebook account, deleting and restoring the Facebook app, changing my Facebook password, logging out of Facebook on my PC, all to no avail. I never performed a factory reset, because I've installed all of my apps from the Marketplace (not Zune), and was not eager to hunt them all down again (please tell me this is another WP7 bug that is being fixed).
Hope this helps others! I've refreinded her and she's changed her profile pic in the last few weeks, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I had the problem with facebook too a few months back. Turned out to be one profile picture that appeared as a red x. Unfriended and the error went away for me too.
Yeah, re-adding her as a friend and the problem is back. Hoping she changes her pic soon.

Hey guys, just got my G2x a few days ago and I love it, but Facebook has been giving me some serious problems with authentication.
Upon initial launch of the app, it asks for my credentials, which I supply, but then almost immediately a gray popup dialog looks like this:
Code:
/[U]![/U]\ Facebook sign-in
Please re-enter your Facebook password.
Username
(my email)
Password
(password entry field)
[ Sign in ] [ Logout ]
(Sorry, I don't have a screen capture app installed, but I doubt I'm the only one having an issue.)
I enter my password and I get a message saying "Facebook authentication succeeded". But then almost immediately after the message disappears, I'm prompted to re-enter my password again into the same popup dialogue.
Suggestions? Solutions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Also shows a very quick popup dialogue about "Session does not match the current stored session."
My Facebook works perfectly. Maybe try reinstalling it or doing a hard reset. Are you trying to connect some kind of weird way?
Btw, holding home and pressing power takes a screenshot.

Have you updated Facebook's app? The one that came on this phone did have some bugs. I have had zero issues though.
See, the weirdest thing is that my device did not have Facebook preloaded on it. I had to download from the Market. It's up-to-date too. Version 1.5.4
I like on how the G2X is a pure Google phone (besides a few preinstalled T-Mobile apps) but I'm really lost about the Facebook issue.
Mine also did not have Facebook or Twitter preloaded

You could try to uninstall and reinstall the app.

Excellent suggestions guys, but I tried it already. Should I unroot and try a hard reset?
Oh man. It's getting a bit out of hand. I was able to take screens and I'll try to upload them ASAP. The only option is to remain signed out of the app.
Major bummer...
Excellent news guys. I solved my own issue. It seems like the mobile app doesn't play nice with HTTPS (secure browsing) if you have it enabled on the Facebook website. After disabling HTTPS on the full Facebook website under Account Settings, I was able to log in and stay logged in without an issue.
Hazzah! I even called T-Mobile to get help and wound up solving the issue while being on the phone with them and now (thanks to me) they have documentation about the issue and how to solve it!

When I try to create a linkedin, it says coming soon?
Try to link your linkedin account with your live account.
It will be added automatically.
Got to the following site and there is the option to link it to your live account. That should work.
messenger.live.com

The link between my windows live account and linkedin was already in place for me, but it nevertheless said it's updating be patient. I had to unlink it from my live account, delete the linkedin account from the phone, change the password on my linkedin account, relink it to my live account and then it worked. There are other people in this forum who still couldn't get it to work after all this. You mileage may vary.....
Hmm, ok yea, I'm getting an error where Linkedin says Attention Required, and when I click on it, it says "Something's gone wrong with LinkedIn. Tap fix to change your password" but fix is grayed out, so I tried the steps derausgewanderte suggested and it did the same thing...any other ideas?

that's how mine started "attention required", then I did the unlink, delete, change pw, relink cycle and it worked. I must be really lucky. It may have to do with the fact that I started Mangob2 with a cold boot from scratch. It's possible that there are registry settings carried over that prevent this from working when upgraded from NoDo.
any1 having difficulties like i do? every time i try to log, i got the error 102 saying about password changed or 104 saying about invalid signature. it happens since yesterday.
i got no error logging in via browser, friendstream and friendcaster. restoring my stock and custom rom nandroid backup doesn't solve the problem.

Then maybe it's a problem with the facebook server? Wait for sometime and see if it corrects itself...
i hope so. thanx for your time mate.
any1 knows how to solve it? now i'm convince that it's not the fb server, it's fb account related, logging in using my friend acc, it got no problem.

If you are able to log in to your friend's account on your device, then we can be sure about the following:
1. Facebook app is working fine.
2. No ROM issue. (because you can log in from another account)
3. Facebook server in your region is up and running.
So that leaves us with only one potential culprit - your Facebook account. Try logging in to your Facebook on PC, and under account settings or Privacy settings, see if can find some kind of setting that you (or stupid facebook) may have changed by mistake....which may be causing your woes.
done but still no joy. matching the same setting with my friend acc and for the sake of trying, i'd even change my e-mail and password that looks like my friend acc. i'm pulling my hair coz of this problem.
searching the nett i found that this problem already exist a long time ago.
again thank for your time enigmaamit.
error 104 signature issue fix!
I think I got it! Go to settings/accounts & sync/select facebook and remove account. Then re log back into facebook app, worked for me! Good luck!
thanx for the reply. did that also but installing FBM, logging into htcsense via htc likes made FB 1.82 (previously not working) works. don't know if there's a connection but it works.
