Facebook inside xperia works?

Hey guys!
When I first activated Facebook inside xperia it worked fine.
Later I uninstalled Facebook app from system and downloaded the app from store.
Now when I try to enable facebook inside xperia it says connection error. I tried to activate long after moving it from the system so I don't know if thats the cause. Is it working for anyone else right now or is it a facebook problem?

[info] Hangout not showing new SMS

Hi,
Recently I got some issues with Hangout not waking up or making sound when receiving new SMS.
After some research it seems to be related to playstore issue.
The story:
Got a brand new stock Nexus 5, rooted it, installed bunch of app and then no more notification for SMS in hangout.
Did a wipe, did not install anything, Hangout was working fine.
Installed patched playstore, Hangout and some Google Now functions stopped working (like automatic location update, notifications, etc...)
The fix:
If you installed a modded playstore, revert back to stock or wipe to fix it.
This is particularly true with LuckyPatcher cracked playstore that broke links between Playstore and other google apps.
If you dont want to wipe or keep your modded playstore, use GoSMS pro for notifications.
Note:
There is an issue with official Playstore that drain battery because of kernel partial wakelock for nlplocator. Using modded playstore broke the automatic nlplocator and this way fixes the batery drain, but you lose functionnality especially about location informations (google now will only update your location on user interaction).
Hope it can help talented person that wants to investigate this issue.
Regards,

Hi guys
I saw that this post was seen more than a hundred times but no one has interacted
I ask all those who are facing the same issue to post it, maybe Sony will react with an update to correct
Thanks

Flash new firmware in flashtool, and select to wipe everything except ssd(internal storage) and you are golden.

Installing Facebook and Messenger automatically adds Facebook App Installer and Facebook App Manager to your installed apps in settings. Interfering these apps might break their updates!

App that works for both Facebook and Messenger for Xperia
Hi Guys,
I've had the same problem recently with my Sony Z5 after it done the Nougat update (took until recently as didn't want to update it and disabled auto update). Its now July and apps still come up with 505 error messages, but I did find another App that works for both Facebook and the messenger within that Facebook. Its called "Lite for Facebook - Security Lock" (Not to be confused with Facebook Lite which wont work either) and is available on the Google App Store. Down side is it comes up with the odd small advert as you go between screens, but the upside is from there you can access the Facebook and messages within it and is more like the more user friendly Facebook and Messenger from a couple of years ago. Personally I prefer it to the normal Facebook app as doesn't keep telling me to "tell everyone about my day" and it is a far better option than doing a system reboot. I don't get new notification signals on my homescreen, only if I go in the app but that may be because I turn most of mine off anyway. Anyway its free to download and if you want access to both in one app it works and doesn't look like sony intend to fix it soon. Try and decide for yourselves, I have access again to people that use messenger and that's all I wanted (Myself I prefer whatsapp).

I found the solution. Just search for Facebook app manager on apkmirror by Samsung electronics and install the latest version. Now it will work.

Had the same problem for a while.
I resolved it by deleting all facebook related folders in :
Data/app
Data/data
system/app
system/priv-app
And then I could re-install Facebook and messenger

I had the same issue. Took me a while to figure out that it's Chrome.
But since I used one account on this phone I didn't know about that problem until some magisk module f*d up my encryption keys and I could boot by phone, so I had to format in TWRP.
It gave me an error during Setup wizard, I managed to bypass it by deleting setup wizard but still my phone was useless.
My guess is that Google uses Chrome's WebView implementation for logging in.
In developer options you can't switch to default android WebView, option is grayed out, so unfortunately Chrome must be kept.

Did you try to log in in a different Google account after you removed those apps?

Google contacts sync broken

Hi, all. I've been having problems getting my Google contacts to sync on my Mix 3 running stock China rom. As you know, Google framework comes preinstalled and I've got pretty much every other Google service (mail, keep, play store) installed and working. I wasn't able to use the ubiquitous "Google installer apk" that most people point to because it first tries to install the framework but fails as it is already installed, and refuses to move on to the next steps. However, even though every other service works, my contacts refuse to sync. There are lots of guides to solve this very common problem with miui, but none of them worked for me. I've tried changing permissions for the contacts app, battery settings, installing a Google contacts sync adapter app, reinstalling the contacts app, and nothing's worked. Whenever I attempt to refresh the Google contacts app I get the message: "can't finish sync. Some contacts may not show up on all of your devices". Has anybody faced this problem?

I faced this problem too, after following the guide on Miui. I tried different permission settings and couldn't get it to sync.
Eventually the contacts app was updated though the Google play store, and it started syncing correctly. Make sure you have the latest contacts apk installed.

Thanks for your reply. I'll report back after an update occurs.

I think this is related to how Google Play Services is on the phone, I created a lite Google package for the Nubia Z17 and people had similar complaints about contacts sync not working... it was fixed by flashing the stock opengapps but we can't do that without TWRP here.

Download this Google Contacts Sync 9 (Android 6.0+) - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
Install and grant it permissions. Reboot phone and google contacts will start syncing without issues.

Thanks JJay666, it works for my mix3 china stock rom.
