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
hello every one
i have a problem with the application Facebook For HtcSense
when i try to log in i get this massage:
service temporery unavailable
im trying for 2 days now
you think its a problem with the application itself?
the option Clear data Via the recovery can solve this problem?
or you know a better way?
thank you
im having a problem with mine too
From my experience and through google, it appears this is a problem with HTC and no resolution will ever come from it. Use the Facebook normal android app (which admittedly kinda sucks) and friendstream also won't be able to use facebook as a result.
my friend stream widget works fine. i even view pics with it with no problem
Hi, first of all, i'm using the Android Revolution HD rom.
My problem is that though my contact picture does sync and show up both in contact and stock messaging apps, they don't show up in Handcent sms... Though if I click the empty picture, contact details (with the options like "call, mail, etc") show up, including the pictures (can upload a screenshot if this is not clear)
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling handcent, i've also tried this fix as well as fixing permissions from recovery. Nothing seems to work.
I've been googling like crazy for the last hour looking at least for people having the same problem as me, but all the posts i've found are from january-february, which makes me wonder if it is supposed to be a fixed issue. I've also read a few of the thread on these forums referencing ICS bugs, and haven't found this particular issue.
I've also tried flashing the stock HTC rom, though to be honest i didn't spend as much time trying to fix it there, since it wasn't the rom i wanted to use.
Thanks to anyone who will be able to help, even if only to confirm that i'm not the only one having this issue...
[EDIT] Fix found, please read this thread.
Thanks to Chronic404 for providing us with the link.
I'm having the same problem, don't show in whatsapp or go sms pro
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I was having the same problem with go sms pro and it was driving me nuts.
Found that if I went into the stock 'people' app and re-chose the contact pics for people they then showed up in go sms.
Not ideal and quite time-consuming but couldn't live without the contact pics showing up!

Thanks for the tip, though i don't seem to have the stock people app on my rom, is it also the case for the HTC stock rom, or is it just because i'm using ARHD ?
May i ask what rom you are using ?

As I said in my first post, I did try this fix, but it's still not working...
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
Oh sorry I don't read much, can you tell? but I had the same problem and that fixed it for me. Must be handcent.

First of all, I want to apologize, my previous post was coming off as a bit rude, didn't realise it as I was typing on my phone
It might be Handcent, i actually have no idea how to check that since i don't know any app with uses contact pictures, save for the two mentioned in this post: go sms pro, which seems to require to install quite a lot of things, and whatsapps which, as far as i understand it, would require someone to chat with, but i don't think i know anyone who uses it...
So if you have an idea for an app that would use my contact pic tu check whether or not it's a handcent bug, i'd gladly take it.
It's okay I'm not easily offended!
Have you ever tried kik messenger? Once you install it and make an account it'll ask you if you want to add the people from your contacts list that also have it.

I tried it, but apparently none of my contacts use anything else than sms, so still not sure of anything.
I've tried the terminal message also but to no avail.
I've just flashed the MIUI rom so I'll be sticking to that for the time being but if you solve the problem please post the method!
Same problem here i'm afraid.... No contact pictures in handcent app...
+1
I am UK Orange Sensation XE User running ARHD and also have contact images everywhere except in Handcent, despite trying the Root Explorer and Terminal Permissions fixes.
I have a small number of contacts where the contact image is a photo rather than from Facebook, and these DO show in Handcent.
Perhaps one of the techy types can use this info to diagnose the problem?
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook and Handcent, have cleared the Data caches from both and reinstalled, still no joy.
Please post the method if you find a solution!
Contact Photos
Hi There, I had the exact same problem with Gosms and Cabbage which I use constantly. I tried Android Revolution HD and Elegancia (which i love). the only way I could fix the problem was the following.
Downloaded syncmypix and ran it, then deleted the Facebook account. The contact photos now appeared in Gosms and cabbage (even unticking facebook avatars in Gosms didn't work). I then re input Facebook account details but chose not to sync any details at all. This worked perfectly for me and somehow or another the photos and FB details still appear and update in contact details.. Weird but great.
I hope this helps as I am totally anally retentive about photos for contacts which is why I loved the Sensation to start with.
Cheers

That's an interesting method but honestly, I would rather a cleaner solution. Sounds very suspicious that although the FB update is off, the pix continue to update... VERY weird... Seems we have to wait
I have tried Johnner's fix, and it has fixed some of the contact images in Handcent
What i will say though is that SyncPix confuses some of my contacts so i have the wrong images for some contacts, and not all contacts can be "found" by SyncPix for whatever reason...

Thanks a lot for the tip, though i kind of agree with GorgiGR that I was looking for a somewhat "cleaner" fix, i'm especially afraid that it would just confuses things for when the issue will receive an "official" fix.
About the facebook update still working while Facebook sync is off, I'm no specialist, but it might be because although you deleted your facebook account, the Facebook for HTC Sense app is still working.
I am using Haxsync from the Play Store to sync all my facebook photos to my contacts. It works great. The only downside is that it is a paid app. But it was money well spent!
I have just used this fix, and it works!

Thank you, i had kinda lost hope that it would be done without using a paying app
Problem fixed for me too then, i'll change the title of the thread.
[EDIT] Well apparently you can't change the title of the thread after creating it... So i'll edit my first post to point to the solution.
Hey people, I have a problem and I think you can help me or at least, point me in the right direction
My Facebook account was recently banned and closed, no reason was given "out of security reasons" and so, even after an appeal to just find out why, they just stopped and closed the case.
Well I made a new account and all that stuff and just noticed, my Samsung Note 10.1 (2012) is still showing a lot of contacts and old messages. I was wondering...are the contacts saved on my device? Because the Tablet isn't connected to the internet and it is still showing everything.
Is there a way, to see the names of the contacts "still in the app".
I hope you can understand what I am trying to achieve.
Thanks for reading. :good:
I have to add to that, the device is rooted.
No one?

All the contacts and messages are mostly stored as db files.
You just need to open them from /data/data/com.facebook.whatever
You can even do this from phone easily by:
1. Install this app: My Android Tools
2. Select 'Database' tab under 'Data Info' from options.
3. Choose Messenger app and look for db files one by one for contacts.
Maybe that can help. I'm not sure, since I don't use Messenger. I use FB from browsers
New to android. I keep trying to send a video through android messages but when I click the + it only says choose photo. I know there is likely a size restriction but the video is less than 5mb. Am I missing something?

I tried that I think. I opened gallery and select the video and click share. A big list opens up but "Android Message" isn't one of them. EDIT Ok looks like I need to dig into adjusting share either via normal method or something like "custom share" app. Thks for the info.
Ok. So it just doesn't let me share video at all in pie 9.02 using android message. In the gallery if I select any photo then Android Message appears in the share list. For a 1.5mb video it never appears. I suspect this is only limited to Android message and if I used whats app or something it would probably work. Anyone else have this issue?
I have been unable to find any app that fixes the issue. Any suggestions?

Check your apn, I just sent and received a video. I'm using 9.0.2 and messages as well
APN is ATT nextgenphone with an option for ATT phone. The SIM is from an Iphone and Ive tried using both.
I can open messages and click + and record a video from camera and send it . So sending video isn't the issue it's just messages isn't in the share list for existing videos.
