facebook chat can't connect - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

google sync

has anyone successfully got this to sync on fuze?? Thanks for your help.
I Timing was perfect, the truth was just the first synchronization with the phone for GPRS.
Contacts synchronized for a long time (196 contacts) for about 15 minutes
I Diddnt know googlesync had a version for PPC yet.. But i have had no issues at all with neuvasync.com for my contacts & calander from google & I just use Pocket Outlook for the email.
I set up for the management of Google
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/sync.html
Calendar syncs with Thunderbird, contacts, too, with the help of a plugin Google Contacts
I can get it to sync, more or less, with my Polaris. It will display an error, but as far as I can see my whole calender is synced.
I have seen quite many posts that get the same error and it seems it has something to do with Googles Exchange server. But don't ask me, I don't know how the stuff works
thanx for the help
I went to the link on google already and still couldn't get it to work. Anyone tried the service yet?
Google Sync works fine on my X1, just followed the instructions and it worked. Only issue I had was the format it brought some contacts accross as (e.g Surname, Forename not Forname Surname)

[Q] HD7 contacts ( people hub) are not updating/sync with windows live contacts.

Iam facing a strange problem with my HD7 since yesterday. I have made some addition and deletion in my windows live contacts. Now my HD7 is no longer reflecting/updating these changes. ( Previously HD7 was updating the contacts immidiatly).
Although I have kept my mobile phone's wifit on for several hours. Beside this I have access the hotmail account through HD7's internet explorer and have done a lot of surfing on my HD7 but still it has not updated the contacts. Am I missing some thing ?
Thanks.
is it getting your emails fine still? i know it's a bit risky and will mean your changes will disappear but worst case scenario would be to remove your live account from windows phone and readd it again.
Same problem here
It happened to me just after I edited and merged some contacts on my Windows Live account.
Now I'm not able to get all my contacts there to my device and I lost all avatars but the ones of facebook.
I think I tried anything but stills not working
wp7 doesn't let you to remove ur main windows live account
I found a strange & stupid kind of solution. I tired it 3 times and it worked.
Turn on the wifi. surf the market place and recomendedly install any free software. The problem will be fixed. All contacts will be updated.
I've got similar issue. Contacts will be synced, but none of the contact pictures... Tried syncing over WiFi and 3G, no affect. Even tried to remove and add pictures to contacts on computer see what happens then... Nothing, contact pics wont be synced...
Make sure your facebook account and windows live account are sync'd.
was having the same problem until i went to settings - email & accounts and sync'd facebook!
is there a manual way to force Facebook to sync with your contacts?
I have had a number of new Facebook friends added so I can link them with my phone contacts and get the pictures etc. It done this the first time but hasnt since.
May try logging out of the Facebook contacts bit and then reenter my credentials to try again
i think a long press on the setting for the FB ...i'm pretty sure this is in the tip n tricks.
or at least on the list of tips on pocket-lint.com
awesome thanks mate!
taking about contacts I have dude , New contacts added to the cellphone how those contact get to the contacts in the email contacts because I made sync twice but the new contact that I added they are not in the account, any body knows how i can sync those new contacts thanks.

Did you setup both accounts on wp7 ??? and as first the one with the contacts you want to use in WLM ????
Yeah i setup both accounts and i see them both on the people list. I don't use my main live account (the one you need to fill in when you start up the phone for the first time) for msn , i added a other live account that i use for msn ect..
Or is it not possible to chat with wlm like facebook chat on the messasing hub?

I'm pretty sure that you cannot use your second account to connect to Messenger. The phone automatically uses the primary Windows Live account (the first one you signed on with) to connect to Messenger and that's it. There are no options to switch accounts or what not.
Thanks for this information. I will add some people on my main wp7 live account and check if i see someone online
I think it's a shame that you can't use your second live account as wlm chat...
I only have one live account. It shows me as online in my phone. I made sure to sign out all locations, turned PC off. Then signed into Messenger via my 1.3 Samsung Focus running 7712. To all my friends it shows me as offline and says all my friends are offline. But if I sign into my PC it shows my friends as being online. I've tried using this feature on my phone via 3G and WiFi; neither seems to work for me. Any suggestions? Possible options I need to activate through Live Messenger on the PC/Account Settings?
EDIT: Just notice in the Online page of messaging it says " Can't connect to see who's online" Also the top left corner states "Can't connect to chat". Even if I sign out and back in it states the same. But if I sign in and out from the Threads page its states in top left corner that I'm "Signed in (Available)"
Edit#2: PROBLEM SOLVED: I have the Samsung network profile app, It was set to "ATT" profile I changed it to the "AT&T" Profile and turned off auto network selection. It works now.

[SOLVED] Mango Beta (7712) and Facebook issues?

Lately, I haven't been able to access Facebook on my WP7 device. At first it was just the official Facebook app not being able to pull information telling me that "Your username or password may have expired. Please log out and back in." I deleted my account info from email and accounts and re-entered it, let it sync, and it gave me the same info. I then started using Seesmic which worked for a few days. Now Seesmic is telling me that it can't pull my Facebook feed.
Any one else having these issues?
EDIT: Got it. First I removed and resynced Facebook from email and accounts. I had to go to Facebook and remove Facebook for WP7 from the list of apps that can access my information. Then I had to manually remove Facebook from my phone, reinstall it, and now it works.
same issue

[Q] Facebook Messaging Integration Sketchy?

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?
