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?
Hi all. I just migrated from my "old" HTC fuze and got on board the Android train with a Samsung Vibrant. It's fantasic out of the box, but I'm sure after a few more minutes on the forum I'll find something that needs fixing.
One thing that does need fixing is that when it syncs the contacts, it adds anybody I've emailed or responded to, outside of my contact list.
GMail doesn't add these people as contacts, but the droid does. Any fix for this short of going through my contacts every couple days and purging???
I hope this works for you, this is with my Droid Contacts.
Open Contacts -> Settings/More/Options button -> Display Options
There should be a "Choose contacts to display". Select your GMAIL account. Mine is currently set to "My Contacts" and everything else is unchecked. Also check the others listed. Gmail will store random outgoing/incoming emails, as All Contacts, where your contacts are "My Contacts"
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, all my contacts are google contacts, and nothing on the phone.
Is there any way to get gmail to not store all the various random emails and people I have contact with? I've dug through the settings and even tried to find something in the labs tab that might stop storage of ALL contacts, but couldn't find anything.

Double check my attacked image, else only other thing i can think of is to remove and readd your google account to your phone.
Ahhh, there's the problem. When I chose Contacts > Display Options, I get a checkbox for my google accounts - there is no drill down for which accounts I can select. I'm on the Samsung Galaxy.
BTW, what screen cap app are you using?
Ok if you can't stop the phone from, getting them then you need to delete them in gmail.
Cause gmail does save everyone you have every replied, or sent email to. It's under other contacts.
just go in there and delete all the ones you don't wont

Don't know about 1), but for 2) - the Samsung app store is, as far as I can tell, geared towards Samsung's "not-quite-so-smart" phones - e.g. cheap ones with Samsung's custom OS, not Android.
For Android devices, the Market is where you want to go.

Yeah but I had Samsung market on sgs vibrant. That ain't no cheap phone.

i didnt think the vibrant had samsung apps stock? well i thought it was a european thing and not for america like kies but if the vibrant had it then it may just be that att doesn't want it. you can get the samsung apps app but you will only see rare firmware updates for the infuse in it. i messed with putting samsung apps on the captivate and i once got a camera firmware update but otherwise it was empty. other than that you can change /system/build.prop to look like an i9000 and get a few apps but there isn't much in there that is worth having other than maybe the asphalt 5 version that was designed to work with our gpu (the lighting looks better, things are less dull/flat looking than the market version).
as for the first question what are your sync settings? go to sttings> accounts and sync ther eare 2 types of facebook accounts for some reason, open your facebook account, if it only says "sync contacts" then it is not the type of account you want, if you have 2 or 3 options make sure calandar sync is enabled. the facebook account with only contacts sync is for the facebook app so im not sure if you should disable it, up to you but i would disable contact sync for that account and enable it on the facebook social updates account, if you need to add the social updates account then go back> select add accounts >select facebook social updates near the top of the screen (says integrated contact accounts above it) and put in your email that is attached to the account and your password. select calandar sync and the sync interval and you should have it working.

Hi, Just got my charge today and synced up my contacts from my gmail (primary contacts list), facebook and twitter. But my contacts seem to be a mess. Many of them were automagically linked together but many others just show repeats of each other and when I link them manually, it seems as if I am loosing some information. Also, many of my google contacts show up multiple times with repeated info, when I link them it just ends up doubling up on everything. Moving from an old HTC windows mobile phone, I am stuck with these ridiculous notes in contacts that HTC used for its sync.
An example, My friend Becky has two contact entries, both from google (despite only one entry in my google contacts). One contains most of the info and the other just an email address, when I join them I loose the number and name and just end up with her email address as the contact. What gives? My question:
Is there a decent contact manager recommended that will join contacts as one contact (not multiple) and remove redundant information?
Is there any logic to joining contacts that will prevent me from loosing information like that or am I doing something wrong?
How do I add my google contacts "into my phone" so that I can use it to create groups and the such? I believe I can just export a contacts file and import it but I am afraid I would run into the same problem of multiple contacts with the same information in them.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
ok heres what i would do, remove all the accounts with contacts from the phone and then reboot. now add your google account back and check it. if every thing is good. move on with Facebook and such.. i dont let Facebook sync with my phone after what happened to me. anyways check it again.
this fixed my problem with google and hotmail, and other accounts. hopefully it will work for you.
Or you can open up contacts, hit menu and set the privcey filters..like don't show Facebook contacts etc
I dont think so
If you download the Facebook app from the market it gives you different options to sync. I sync only with exsiting contacts that are in my phonebook. That way I don't have a million people in my contacts list.
I followed your advice and got it the way I like. I had to sync twitter and facebook through the phone and manually combine contacts. At least now when I user the message app, I don't have four or five of the same people. Out was word when I first noticed the facebook and twitter apps both have an additional sync option. This is my first android smartphone too. Thanks for the advice.

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".
