Did and Did more then one time non of these helped.

try one of the UN official fbook apps.

I am with Trusselo on this - try one of the unofficial apps. I like FB Black personally, but there are a few out there. Also when I have an issue with it not connecting it is usually because I have changed how I am connected since I first open the app. For example we have six wifi points at my work and if I am walking around the building and go off one onto another then it seems to confuse the app. Turning the wifi off and back on again on the phone and restarting the app is the most I have to do to fix it.

Uninstall fb app. Go to accounts and add fb as a account. After that install the official fb app.

If i do this will facebook add all my friends to my contacts and what not? I don't want everyone on facebook in my phone. Thanks again for the help. Guess i can try and see what happens lol.

Have you tried using the official Facebook app again since when you were having those problems? I have was having that same problem a few days ago too and it went away last night when I gave it a shot again...

I was also having an issue with the official FB app so I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone, re-installed it and now it's working great.

Facebook Log-in issue

For some reason I can log-in using the FB app fine, but I'm getting an error when I try to log-in for my sync. It says Log-in failed. Try later. It isn't a password issue because I use the same password to log-in with the app. I have to turn of FB sync or I keep getting the error in my Notification Bar. Anyone else seeing this issue? I'm sure it is something on FB's end, but why would it only affect log-in via Android settings and not the actual FB app or website?

i have this same problem on my atrix...its annoying.

I've been asking for days now, same problem. The only way I could sign in was through the data network and not Wi-Fi. Still can't sync as it gives me sync is experiencing problems both on Wi-Fi and network data.
Added: For giggles I went back to stock, just to see if it was a GB issue. Same problem, fyi.
Just got sync to work over data network.

Can't get it to work on wifi OR data. It sucks because all the apps that have share capabilities no longer show Facebook as an option, so I can't upload any vids or pics to my wall. Just took some cool videos of me at the motocross track that I wanted to post.

I saw somebody say you need to remove the samsung app from face book website under the website application settings. then remove the face book sync account and readd

Finally got logged in. Not sure what caused the issue, but looks like it was on FB's end and not the phone. Just noticed you can't upload videos directly to FB. Have to send them to YouTube first. That sucks.

Im sure glad I wasn't the only one with this issue, after a while of trying to figure it out, I'm pretty sure the best thing is to try again later, it'll work eventually...

I use FriendCaster Pro instead of the official Facebook app and you can upload videos.

I'll check it out, but I was referring to when you go into the Gallery. When you select Share there is a list of various sites (Photobucket, Gmail, etc.) you can upload to. Facebook is one of the choices in the list when it is a photo, but is not there for videos.

When you go to that share menu, FriendCaster Pro shows up for both video and photo.

facebook for android

whenever im using the facebook app, none of my post/statuses say "via facebook or android" or "via android" or even "via mobile"....
it doesn't say anything as if i'm on facebook on my desktop
how do i fix this issue! everyone must know i am using facebook on my sexy android phone

I dont think that is a app fault, most likely facebook. with as many changes as facebook goes thru a week it's hard to tell

I had to go into the FB settings to get this to happen..Actualy my wife did while I was driving

Try to download last version via Market. Have heard it automatically put such text in your messages.

the android facebook app isn't very intuitive, try using facebook through the browser.

Did you find out which settings your wife changed? I actually wouldn't mind this situation, avoiding the "via mobile" label.

You could try to uninstall then reinstall and see if that helps.

You may try to fix it via facbook setting option. I guess there must be some option for this.

The facebook can make many friends. wonderful.

lfacebook error (102 & 104)

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.

Well, the account shows up, under accounts & sync in the phone settings, but I don't think it's actually syncing the contacts. None of them are showing up for me in the people app.

And the sync option of facebook was always there for me but it never worked.

Uhm... personally I don't like these limitations:
IMPORTANT:
* Facebook does not allow to export phone numbers or emails. Only names, pictures and statuses are synced.
* Facebook users have the option to block one or all apps. If they opt for that, they will be EXCLUDED from your friends list.
