Has anybody else been having issues with the built in Facebook app on Nexus? Every time I try to retrieve notifications I get an error telling me it cannot retrieve.
Getting the same issue. Uninstalled using root explorer and tried reinstalling - no dice. The other version was from the Droid dump.
I wasn't ever able to get notifications working on my MT3G on the Facebook app.
Yes, I think it is some bug Google didn't quite work out before the release. I emailed them and got the standard response that they are aware of the problems...ie facebook...ie...polar clock dynamic color...and is working on it! Let's see how long they take to get it fixed!
I am having exactly the same problem with the facebook app on my hero. Its not a phone specific problem here, but either a facebook issue or an issue with the app itself.
It worked fine on my MT3G, just not so great on the N1 hopefully a patch rolls out soon
works on my N1
Facebook- Synced Contacts Name Issue
After syncing Facebook contacts with phone contacts, it changes the name of the contact to whatever it is in Facebook and 'overrules' whatever other name you have in phone.
I.e.- if you have your dad saved as 'Dad' in your phone and sync with his Facebook contact, it will overrule the name 'Dad' in your phone and display it as his full name a la his Facebook name.
This is ANNOYING as who searches parents by full name?? and others of course.....
Any help??
I don't like this either... there needs to be an option in the settings to make Gmail contacts the dominant/controlling information.
Eager for a solution to this.

Go into your contact list. Hit menu, then accounts. Add an account, select Facebook.
Don't think it's a FB Client for N1/Android. I'm having issues with checking notifications directly on the facebook mobile client (which I prefer). This isn't the first time that FB have made changes to the interface without notifications and somethings things are broke for awhile.
My notifications were working again, last night, both the FB Mobile and FB for Android for a very short time and are now broken again.
It's not your phone nor the client. it's the FB developers.
running android on my touch pro (winmo device), facebook app worked fine. facebook status update, when checked online thru pc, says 'status updated with facebook for android). widget works fine too, scrolls right through everyone's status
Yeah, getting the same errors, too.
Facebook Pics + Sync with contacts?
Is the Facebook app that is installed supposed to take a facebook profile and sync and apply the picture with a contact card on the phone? I notice that it adds a facebook section when editing a contact and you could choose to use the facebook picture, however, it doesn't sync the picture to the contact. I check google.com/contacts to verify and there is either 1) no picture, or 2) an old picture that can be updated. I know it mentioned facebook syncing in the app for pictures, status, and contact info, however, the picture doesn't seem to get applied to the contact.
So, did some poking around and found the SyncMyPics. Is this app redundant to what is featured in the facebook app? Or, is it necessary to achieve what I would like?
Thanks!
I'm not sure why you are having that issue. Mine worked perfectly. The only issue I had was where I got dupes because names were incorrectly spelled.
I know that with the Hero ROM on my G1, not all of my contacts would sync pics from Facebook. It probably has to do with the level of security those users have. I'd say only a third of my contacts' pics from FB would sync. This could be the same issue? Are only some of your contact pics syncing?
Well...
My previous phone was a Touch Pro and using custom ROMsm I would use the facebook feature a lot where it would update the FB picture to the phone contact, then, it would get synced to Google using MS Exchange.
I just noticed a few friends changing their pictures. Did a force sync under accts and sync and noticed the contect picture didn't get changed... Sp, I'm wondering what is going on here?
Basically, shouldn't the FB app be updating the contact icons when there is a change.. then syncing them with google contacts?
I am looking through my contacts list and I am noticing several of my contacts have several links to their same facebook profile. Since they are Facebook, I am unable to delete them. How can you have several Facebook links to the same Facebook profile? If I unlink them then I have separate entries in contacts.
Did you just download the upgrade to facebook? I had mine working fine and then I downloaded the upgrade which was suppose to fix issue with the syncing timing out. Then suddenly I had 9 facebook contacts for each person it was sync'd too

Yes I do have the updated version.
I had the same problem, what I did was unlink both facebook accounts from my contacts, which removed everything facebook related and then just added 1 back.
That was my solution as well, but I'm not relishing the prospect of doing that for every facebook contact I have. Anyone come up with a quicker fix yet?
What he means is to remove the facebook accounts completely from the menu, settings, accounts screen.
Then when you add one back be sure to use the top one that is listed under "Integrated contact accounts." The sync from the new version of facebook does not work properly on our phones for some reason.
Same problem- removing facebook account doesnt remove links
Each contact of mine has 4 "unknown" links that seem to be facebook links. I cant seem to find a way around manually deleting each link one by one. I removed the facebook sync accounts and the facebook contacts still show up and the duplicates are still there. Also when I try to go to display options it says "sim initializing" and stays there. Only if I take out my SIM card and replace it can I access the display options Advice? This also caused my phone to run out of database memory and slow it down alot.
I have a Samsung focus and did the mango update and now about 80% of my facebook contacts pictures (on the phone not the facebook app) do not show up on the phone. Anyone else have this issue or a way to fix it?
Thanks
Did you try to refersh your facebook account?
Go Settings --> email + accounts --> Facebook - Sync
if you search all you contact will come up. If you want it to list all of your FB contracts in you phone you have to change the settings.
Please post in the correct forum next time. Should have gone in Q&A.
As for your question, are you talking about contact photos for your contacts, or your Facebook contacts themselves not showing up.
If your contact photos aren't showing up, maybe your contacts need to be re-linked to their Facebook accounts. Check if they are linked.
If your Facebook contacts are not showing up at all, and you want them to be displayed in your People list, then you need to go into People settings and change the filter to display Facebook contacts (if you haven't already done so).
thanks for all the input. I am aware of all said above. I updated to Mango and this is a mango issue. All of my facebook contacts show up, the only issue is about 30-40% of them when i try to choose the facebook picture or my contact picture the facebook picture is missing. This is not a settings issue otherwise the other 60-70% would not work properly. Is there a way to delete the facebook account and redo it in mango? I have already tried to resync it many times but for many facebook contacts it shows a blank picture while others it does not. Attached is a screenshot showing only my facebook contacts, as you can see some of the pictures are missing. IS there any way to reset just facebook on Mango Beta?
Thanks
well i got a worst problem, i have a htc hd2 with mango beta 1 with marketplace, everything is fully functional but "IM". I've tried everything even change languages for both windows live and facebook, but always says in set im status "cant connect to im".
I have a HTC HD7 with mango, but although I have a hotmail account (which I use for MSN) it only gives me the options to sync emails, and I cant find anyway to enable messenger on it, anyone know how this is done on mango? or if it is even possible?
Im sure it supposed to work like the facebook chat but i dont appear to have an option for it (my facebook chay DOES work).
It's not in the settings as it's activated by default. Just change your status in the messaging hub to anything but "Offline"" and you should see your Messenger contacts that are online.
tried that but it doesnt show any of my msn contacts, I even tried playing around with my filter options (for the people hub contacts) and none of my MSN buddies or in the list.
also when you press the icon with the 2 arror buttons (left/right arrows) it only gives options of TXT and Facebook, it foesnt give a messenger option.
i have the same problem on my HD7. the 'onlline' tab only shows my friends from facebook chat and not WLM.. and i dont know why
is your windows live account the one you used to sign into the phone? go to home.live.com and see if you can see and chat with your friends online via hotmail....
After I updated to mango I had to hard reset my phone and everything worked.

Yup that might help too. Also have to make sure the MAIN Windows Live ID that your phone is signed into is the one you use for Messenger. If you've added additional Windows Live IDs, you'll get e-mails/calendar/contacts..etc but not Messenger.
It works reasonably well for me (the first message you get in a convo has an annoying tendency to to go the phone and not to the PC, which is a pain if you're signed on to both at once. The real problem, though, is that it only works with the primary WLID. Such a waste of a good feature.
Hello,
After long time I have again started using messenger chat in my wp7, earlier it use to work perfectly but from the last 2 days when I logged into messenger chat it shows no one is online even my status is shown offline to other messenger users whereas when I login to desktop live messenger app it shows online users and everything works expected, this means there is some issue with my phone and not live messenger.
I had recently upgraded to outlook.com but switched but to hotmail thinking this might be causing issue but still it shows no one is online.
I also realized I am unable to update apps too, Ball Maze, Translator & Whatsapp I have updates for these apps but it is not getting updated.
Somebody please help

Ensure that
1) Your FB chat is set to ON in messaging settings.
2) Your WiFi/ Data connection is working fine. (Open any website IE to confirm it).
Yes, FB chat is broken for me too. Nothing wrong with your phone.
I dont use fb chat, I am talking about Windows Live Messenger chat it shows no user online even when my few friends are online likewise it shows I am Signed in(available) but to my friends I am shown offline, I face this issue only on my phone but not on PC messenger application. Also I am unable to update apps from last 2 days or so.
