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...
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.........
Hello everyone.
I am running the most recent BAMF 2.0.1.4 ROM, and most everything is working fine for me, but I am having one issue. I've searched all over for an answer but I have had no luck finding one.
I cannot sync my google calendar. Not only that, it looks like the stock Android Calendar is not even present. I tried to go into all Apps to clear the calendar storage, but there is no Calendar Storage listed.
When I go into Accounts and Sync, where it would normally list "Sync Calendar" in my google account, it says "Sync com.android.calendar" and if I try to turn it on i get a message that sync is experiencing problems.
Other than that I've had no problems...
Any ideas? I know I could wipe and start over but I would love to avoid that if at all possible.
Thank you!
No issues here. Synching Google & exchange calendars. Best bet would be to wipe cache / dalvic and reflash the ROM.

Tried clearing cache and dalvik, but still no go.
I decided to completely wipe everything and re-flash the ROM. Seems to be working now. Only one issue I found this time around, a bunch of my linked contacts are not linking now. Oh well, I can always re-link them manually.
Thank you for your response!
i notice that i have 2 calendar processes running, each about 8MB. anyone else? bamf 2.0-5
Did you ever get this resolved? I have tried every BAMF GB ROM and none of them will allow me to sync the calendar. It is driving me crazy as I liver by the calendar on my TB.
I am on Sense 3.0 now. Nothing different so far, still getting the FC in the gapps regarding the calendar.

Hey I installed AOSP dialer and contacts but I can not find how to sync them with facebook. I really liked the Sense dialer linking between Google contacts facebook and more. I want my contacts to have picture and birthday reminder and etc. but how to sync them to facebook. If there is no option is there an application to do this?
You can't as stock Google doesn't sync with Facebook as Facebook doesn't use the Google Contact API

Thanks works great.

Thanks. But I don't think this is exactly what I am looking for or I can't find how to do what I need. So the program synchronizes only contacts with the same name or which were synchronized when I was with HTC dialer. I can't anywhere to manually atach a Facebook account to google account. I am searching for this type of program.
I have to up because I didn't got answer to my question hope that is not counted as spam.

Look in the HyperNonSense ROM thread for the "extras" and find the "facebook_sync.zip" which is flashable from recovery. This will replace your contacts.apk and contactsprovider.apk with modified versions that work with the original facebook sync.
Flash it, clear cache/dalvik cache, reboot.
Go into the FACEBOOK APP and then go to settings/accounts and add it from there. If you try to go through the system settings -> accounts/sync -> and add it there, it won't work (at least not for me). After I flashed it, I tried going straight from the accounts/sync and it appeared to act just like before.. you select facebook and then nothing happens. However, when I loaded up the facebook app, it asked right away if I wanted to sync my contacts just like on gingerbread.
Do a nandroid backup for sure...
I'm on the OpenSensation April 9 build if you were curious what I flashed it over.
Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot! That's what I am looking for but I can't manage it to work. I installed trough 4ext recovery and wiped cache+dalvik. I am using ARHD 6.6.1 + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470497 this mod for AOSP. In the facebook app in settings the only options about contacts,accounts is about whether to sync or not to sync so I chose to sync with existing contacts. Nothing really happened and in settings->account/sync there isn't anything new to add. So for now nothing new has happened could you guide me more what should I do to mange to get it work.
I'm running a stock, non-rooted GS3. My contact icons are weeks out of sync with profile pictures and I can't get new contacts that are saved to display the picture. I went to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Facebook, and forced a sync a few times in the past 24 hours but it won't update anyone. How can I correct/update this? Thank you!
Go into your contacts on the phone and open the contacts you want to sync with your Facebook and make sure that they are linked via Facebook... If it is google only seems that for some reason it doesn't always update the photo....

Both Google and Facebook are set. Those settings are correct, I just can't figure out why the profile/contact pictures are weeks out of sync with some new contacts not even syncing at all.

Thats the glory of the Facebook app for Android.... It functions when it wants too..... Hopefully they are actually working on it.... There are other apps on the market for FB that allow better syncing with FB
Not a true "fix", but corrected it by clearing the cache from the app + all data from Settings > Applications, deleted it from Play then re-installed it. Again, not a fix, but resolves the issue in about 5 minutes.
