you mean Facebook app, right? not that I'm aware of. only have. software from the market. no themes. running stock kernel and rom. other thing that might be related is that when i try to open my Gmail inbox, or sinc my Gmail account - just mail - the process google apps stop responding and force closes, without letting me see if i have incoming mail. started 1,5 weeks before the Facebook app prob

I have the same problem. It was working fine this morning then randomly it started giving me the error.

did you made any change in your phone?

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

Music Beta sync not syncing.

I got my invite on Wednesday and added all 3,000+ songs but the only thing that is showing up in my music app on my Xoom (and Droid x) is the free 100 songs or so that Google gives you when you sign up. I made sure that my Google account is selected in the Music app settings. I tried clearing data/cache, uninstalled/reinstalled music app but still nothing on either device. When I go tto settings > accounts and sync > Google account there is a red exclamation point next to the "Sync Music" option with the error message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix?

I guess that's why it is called "Beta"?

or they could be having problems. Stop freaking out.

Well that's why I'm asking, seeing if there are any others experiencing the same problem. No need to be an asshole

I'm not. Mine is uploading all my music right now. 1900 of 7589 lol. Both devices are syncing for me. My nexus and xoom

I have close to 6000 of 15729 on the Xoom now. Its working. I would let google know.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I seen that red dot next to syncing problem. They're having some sever error probably. I clear the cache and restarted and the next morning it was working again.

I've been having the same error on my SGSII and my Xoom.

Galaxy Tab 10.1
I am still having sync problems on the tablet but my HTC thunderbolt syncs fine. Anyone else experiencing something similar? I realize it is beta but just curious if others are seeing the same thing.

i emailed Google and heard back. They said they were experiencing problems and that it should be resolved within 24 hours.

My tablet now seems to be fully functional! Awesomeness

Got invite for my verizon xoom, registered, and I can play music fine via web interface.
My tablet won't sync though
I do not have the 'music' sync option in settings->'applications and sync'.
How do I enable that ?
(I don't have it on my phone either, if that helps)

Me neither...I get the options to sync BOOKS, GMAIL, CONTACTS, DOCS and CALENDAR...not MUSIC though. This is on a DroidX that just got the Gingerbread update

I also have a DroidX with Gingerbread update and my situation is the same as yours. No Music option in the google sync. I have uploaded the music (took almost 24 hours and the wifi connection was painfully slow during this time). I see the music online but not on the Droid.

Same problem here. My Samsung Galaxy S2 has the "Sync Music" option but not the Xoom!

GTalk + Google Apps and/or multiple account issues post-3.1?

For whatever reason, after flashing 3.1, Google Talk doesn't work for either of my Apps accounts. It shows me as signed in in the app, but doesn't pull down my contact list or actually send messages. My Gmail account is just fine, tried deleting the accounts in question and no dice.

I am having the same issue with the Motorola Xoom. I am also running 3.1 and have 3 accounts. Anyone else having the same problem?

I posted a bug report here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17252&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars

Mine shows my contact list but doesnt show any messages recently sent since I flashed to 3.1. Also the status shows everyone offline but on my phone it shows the correct availability,,,,mmmmmm weird

Just to be a bit more specific, one account is a regular GMAIL account, and the other 2 are Google Apps Accounts, on separate domains.

Switched syncing on?

Same problem, not on 3.1
I started experiencing this problem on Saturday.
I'm running Prime 1.3r2 with netformer 1.3 NOT 3.1
I have 3 google apps accounts and 2 traditional gmails. All working as intended until Saturday evening. Now only the first account I sign in to works until I do a reboot. The rest incorrectly show status and fail to send messages. During some testing last night my friends we're receiving test messages from a different account on my list regardless of it was signed in or not.
complete wipe and reload (not restore) did not fix the problem, leading me to believe it's on the google side maybe.

[Q] Server search on Gmail doesn't work - says "can't connect"

I added the GMail account through Google option (haven't tried the POP and IMAP).
It syncs fine, but it doesn't do a server search. Whenever I try it, it returns an error saying that it can't connect to the network.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
P.S. And how come there is not even an option to do server search for Hotmail?
Additional data:
- I'm using Samsung Focus with Mango
- device is unlocked, but branded to AT&T (not sure if it has anything to do with Gmail)
- tried both on 3G and WiFi
Thanks!

I have the same problem. It was present in 7712 and still is in the retail release of 7720. I also have a Samsung Focus, but I doubt that is the cause. I'm considering deleting the Google account from the phone and adding it back, but I hate to have to relink all of the contacts whose names are different from Facebook. Considering how Google has blocked non-primary calendars for Windows Phone and their event/invitation implementation is somewhat broken with Windows Phone, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that server search is also a broken feature, whether intentional or not. Has anyone had any success re-creating the Google account on the phone?

i've noticed the same problem! I hope this is just an issue of me just setting up my account wrong

this is seriously annoying

I guess gmail wants us to go android, but I won't. I'm going to add another email account and suffer through. Fortunately for me I don't have a lot of important contacts with gmail.

I reported this to Microsoft a few weeks ago, and they are aware of the issue. I'm thinking it must be on Google's side. When labels come to Hotmail, I may just switch over entirely.

[Q] Hangouts SMS Contact Profile Pictures

Does anyone use Hangouts for SMS/MMS? I'm having an issue where there are no Profile Pictures showing up at all beside the contact name. When I uninstall the Update of 2.1.317 which downgrades it to 2.0.x, the profile pics are all fine.
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue or is it just me?

Hey, its a known issue with the hangouts app. Google haven't pushed a fix for it yet. Issue should be fixed with Android L release so there's not much point in them pushing the fix now.......apparently.

Awesome thanks. Couldn't really find anyone with the issue when searching so it's good to know.
Also I noticed the Gmail app shows no contact photos either so I'm guessing ill just wait for Android L.
