Hey, guys. I've noticed other phones having this problem, and it looks like the Xperia Play on Verizon is affected, too. When I go to Menu/Settings/Account & sync and try to add a Facebook account, it goes right back to the Account & sync page without adding Facebook. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no success. Is there some sort of workaround?
Thanks
looks to be a issue w/ our phone.. I posted the same thing in general.
I added my fb account without any problems..

you are not running stock GB on Verizon tho
Yeah, I suppose I should have posted what I'm running. Currently I'm running Android version 2.3.2, Build number 3.0.E.2.89
All stock. (On a side note, this is also preventing me from rooting at the moment.)

so far that is the only build I have seen on our devices. (verizon)
Well, at least we now know it's a common issue.

Yep do you have problems with your front facing camera in video chat applications?
Well, the only one I've tried is Tango, but I read that the front camera not working is a known issue with that app and our phone. I haven't tried any others yet.

This is a remnant from the other builds I think. On other stock android devices, Facebook can still be a contact provider. Something is blocking it in the OS level from some tweak by SonyEricsson.
HOWEVER! You can get around it by using SonyEricsson's Life.Contacts as a synch partner to synch up FB contacts.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, this is an issue, I think, that has to do with Sony stripping the Xperia facebook-in-android experience parts out of the phone, but forgetting to re-enable the FB built-in synch that it was blocking.
So for right now, you have to use the Life.Contacts app to be able to synch FB. The problem with it though, is that the config is only available through Life.Contacts' widget. So it makes it a bit of a pain. It also only works with one account type at a time. So you can't use Life.Contacts to synch FB, Twitter, and other social networks at the same time to my knowledge.
Ok so... How do you actually get this to work? I downloaded and installed life.contacts and linked to my facebook, but my contact still don't show their pictures and info. Did I do something wrong?
Hi All,
First, I wanna say that you guys are so freakin awesome! I've been an xda lurker for a while, but figured it's time for me to join and interact with my fellow HTC Sensation-ers.
It'd be a good chance for me to contribute to these forums, as well as getting some help for my Sensation problems. Glad to be a part of you guys now
Question: Why doesn't Facebook for Android push notifications work on my Sensation 4G?
Background Info: Private Messages in Facebook get pushed, but regular notifications (e.g. wall posts, comments, likes) do not get pushed to my device.
Went into facebook settings, and everything it's at its default values (never touched a thing). Notifications are on.
Other information pertaining to situation: Background data is ON. Always-On mobile data has been tried on and off. Same results both ways.
Can you help a brotha out?
Thanks, guys! I look forward to being a part of your community.
I read that if you sign in on a blackberry it fixes that for android due to a permission that Facebook for bb gives. I don't know if its true but worth a try I guess

Hi fr0zenblood75,
Thanks for the response.
I also have read that before. I actually went far enough to borrow my friends Bold 9780 without him knowing
Alas, it did not work
Does every Sensation user have this issue? Or am I in the minority with this?
Also, I've restarted my phone, factory reset, uninstall and reinstall app....nothing works.
Facebook kinda sucks. You try another app like friendcaster?

I'm not familiar with friendcaster. Is it a facebook for android alternative and does it do push notifications? Thanks.

It sucks that the Facebook app is garbage
I guess the developer has no incentive to get the app working properly for everybody, seeing that it's not ad-supported.

Maybe its because the market isn't recognised the ics, this happens a few times and is usually solved just by waiting.

I've got same problem, plus hundreds of games and apps has disappeared from play store, using see arc s, apps I've got installed no longer compatible, tech support told me to do a factory reset, no way, if that doesn't work how will I install all my apps again, 2.3.4 gingerbread, doomkernel v 22
That seems like a mess...
Lets give it a fresh start, which firmware version/rom/kernel are you on?

Delete your Google account from accounts & sync.
Reboot to recovery, wipe Cache +dalvik.
Reboot.
Add your Google account.
Enable the option "Keep this device backed up with my Google account" to automatically restore missing apps.
Do this, and it should be fine.

no longer a major concern with the new google play.
personally, I find it a lot easier to pick what to reinstall from the website via a desktop.
this is the response i got from Google play support, Thanks for following up and for providing those additional details about the issue you're experiencing on Google Play. In reviewing the information you've provided as well as our records, it appears that this issue is related to the fact that you're not using the authorized ROM that came with your device - using any ROM besides the factory default may cause the device to have limited functionality and may cause unexpected behavior with the Google Play Store app. Unfortunately, we won't be able to troubleshoot this issue further because the issue appears to be unique to the way your device is configured, and we can't recreate the issue with our devices here. To resolve the issue, I recommend using the authorized Android operating system provided by your manufacturer that can be obtained from their website or your carrier.
Does anyone else share in my frustration?
Often, I am notified to link contacts between my People list and my Facebook (official app) contacts as well as my Whatsapp contacts. This happens at least once a week, and at times, every other day.
I'll go into the Facebook app and all of the sudden will need to enter my password again. Within the hour, I'm notified of Facebook contacts that could potentially be linked with my people list. I link them all then save. You'd think that would be it, right? A couple days later, same password prompt, same contact link suggestions. The same thing occurs for Whatsapp, too. Both occur update app from the Play market or not and on stock and MikTouch 0.7.
It's a minor inconvenience but so annoying, as it seems like it's never really saving the link. Anyone else seeing this?

I remember months ago the facebook app threw phones into a constant sync, they would never stop syncing and never actually do so.
I don't use facebook, but had to troubleshoot for a user of my rom.
Facebook app is the most worthlessly coded POS app I've ever crawled through the code of, it makes little sense and has less coherency.
Using the app means subjecting yourself to it's problems, sorry for your troubles.

Tried using navigation. With 2 different sensation phones. 1 stock, 1 rooted with revolution rom. I bet it has to do with the Google Maps app. It's been doing nothing but crashing (rebooting). Is this happening to anyone else?

No. No one else.
You are the only one.
I mean other than the 10,000,000 other people who have had the problems with Google Maps since it's most recent update was pushed with some major bugs that cause exactly the problems you are experiencing. Those bugs have been well documented and have been discussed in multiple threads in this forum as well at just about every feedback left on the Play Store for the past week specific to this exact problem.
But other than those millions upon millions of people, you are the only one with these problems.
Dude, you've just written down what I've been suspecting about Google Maps for some days now. Mine crashes too, not every day and every time, but when it does it keeps doing it. Restarting doesn't help, restarting after battery yanked out doesn't help, will crash and reboot 5-10 secs after starting Maps, and this'll go on for some time until I decide not to us GMaps anymore. So I'm gonna try with satellite settings turned off, anybody better idea?
(I'm rooted on ARHD-6.7.2 XE, OTA'd at 1.27.0000)

Roll back to an older version while Google gets their **** in gear.
I think this is just more than a Google Maps issue. I have 2 phones 1 with Elegancia Sense 4 v2.7.0 and one ARHD and the Elegancia has no issue. since the update of maps i have never had 1 problem and never had to reinstall or uninstall, ARHD however was so damaged by the update i had to remove it and patch the older version....
this may be a Dev+Google Maps issue.
Using CM9 stable, my sensation keeps crashing while using Google Maps,
I've never had a single problem using Google maps. Just used it the entire time on a drive from Hilton Head to DC aka 9 hours. Nav worked perfectly on CM10

Google Vs. HTC
Just a hunch but I don't think this is going to get fixed anytime soon. The problem seems limited to HTC phones (specifically the Sensation and Rezound). I suspect Google will blame HTC and HTC will either blame Google or more likely since the phone is EOL, simply ignore the issue.

FYI Elegancia uses some files from 3.32 base (to make the tweaks work properly instead of porting them) and it appears this issue is with the 3.33 bases
