I'm having an issue with the built in facebook support, I can sign in to flickr and twitter, but when I try to sign in to my facebook so I can link with contacts, it says that the service is currently unavailable....something I'm missing? I'm running fresh rom 0.7 with the patches.
I am having the same problem. Are you using the Hero or Eris? I have an Eris and am having this problem.
I'm seeing this post topic on all the boards right now. It must be down.
It must have something to do with the new privacy settings that Facebook just implemented.

i wonder if maybe you need to log in to facebook.com from your phone and accept the privacy policy?
Thats a no go. I just logged in to Facebook with the Android app and I still can't login through the Social network option.
Facebooks no privacy settings reset all of your privacy and app options. We may have to wait for an update for it to work properly, but mine doesn't sign in either, not even Bloo or Fbook.
not sure but....
after many...many....many retries it finally connected, that was weird, I just hope that I never have to go through that again (no more wipes for me unless absolutely neccesary)
Anyway, weird glitch, I could log in with the Facebook for Android app though, so not sure what would have caused that.

I'm pretty sure all that app does is interact with their website as opposed to using the API. Looks like the problems were with the API.
www.facebook.com is down as of right now. I tried from work internet and my phone 3g.
I imagine they are having some problems.
Good thing I found this post, I didn't notice a problem until immediately after installing unofficial MoDaCo 1.2c and I've been flashing recovery images all day trying to fix it.
It is working for me now. I haven't done anything to either my phone or Facebook options sense yesterday. Wonder what it was? Oh well, as long as it is working.
Facebook sync appears broken
To give you a little background, I've had a rooted Hero for quite a while now. I have been running Fresh 1.1 since it was released. I have also had my Facebook linked so I have all of my contacts with pictures and info in my phonebook.
Well after a few other mods on my phone like taskbars, icons, etc. I decided to wipe and go back to a fresh install of Fresh 1.1 again. I linked my Facebook profile again and after a few hours everyone was showing back up in my contacts list with pictures and such.
Last night my phone started acting weird and alot of things were FC'ing, maybe 3 or 4 things, but I didn't look at what specifically. Later last night I realized all my facebook stuff was gone again from my contacts list. I thought that maybe it was because of one of the processes that FC'd so I restarted the phone but as of this morning still a phonebook full of blank heads.
Anyone else had this issue? I've tried logging out and logging back in and everything. Any help would be appreciated, the phonebook looks so ugly without everyones pictures.
It may be a coincidence, but facebook itself has some severe issues right now. Some people are of a mind that the "new" viewing heuristics are themselves broken. You now view based on your history and interactions with/of your friends. My age there is 100 so it they write (email) to me personally.
Facebook Error
I am unable to sign into Facebook from the app it from HTC senses Facebook. I have tried wiping everything and various ROMs but im having the sane problem. any help would be appreciated
Sync Facebook Calendar
I am having a problem getting my facebook calendar to sync. I am running a Damagecontrol 2.1 Rom when I 1st set the phone up I'll see my facebook calendar entries in my calendar and eventually they disappear and the option to disply the facebook calendar also disappears. Does anyone have any insight?
facebook/google birthdays
i have some contacts that i have entered birthdays for in my google address book, however they are also friends of mine on facebook. i noticed within the calendar widgets that it lists the birthdays for these contacts twice once for the google contacts calendar and one for the facebook calendar. Is there a way to fix this so for linked contacts it only lists the birthday on one calendar.

uncheck facebook in your calendars to show.

Contacts facebook link
Is there a way to link all contacts with their appropriate facebook account automatically, i remember in 1.5 it would auto predict and suggest linking automatically for all the contacts, there is no option to do all contacts in 2.1...
anyone know of a way to go about doing that instead of painfully going one by one...
since today i cannot refresh my Facebook app. it gives me the a [MAILFORMED JSON" error every time i refresh. i can access my account in the browser without any prob. does anyone is experiencing this error? or any tips in how to get pass it?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?
Have you updated to 1.2?
Any mods / morphs / themes ?

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
kbeeveer46 said:
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
Does anyone know whats wrong with messenger..?
In my Omnia 7 running Mango beta 2 the facebook chat messages stoped arriving..
It all worked since I updated but know it stoped working... I can see all my contacts and they can see my but I just don't get all the messages..
If they send 6 I get 1 if any... And they don't get mine... And other times they jsut get 1 of them... Stange... :S
Did you turn "Facebook Chat" on?
I can't even get past that step, all I get is a dead page.
Mine, with Mango, doesn't show FB content. The only thing the people hub shows is Windows Live content. I have the FB account setup, too. My Focus with NoDo shows FB content, though.
Oooops...spoke too soon. It just now started showing FB content...this is the first time since flashing Mango that it has shown. lol...maybe it was waiting for the opportunity to contradict me.
In mine everything about facebook works great.. All content of all kinds... Friends, calender.. All of it..
The only thing not working well is the facebook chat.. Messenger works great... But only in facebook chat messages don't show up, or just one out of 5 sent to me show...
Facebook chat is on and I can see my online facebook friends...
I thing this is a messenger thing, because in live.com messenger same thing happens.. Any ideas...?
I tested in Messenger 2011 and same problem... Could it have something to do with the new Facebook Chat... It worked well before the change...

What you've probably noticed is that on your chat settings, when you try to enable the FB chat, it goes to a non existent web page. Here's the work around:
Go to to your live account on live.com, go to profile, and you'll see the other accounts at the bottom (FB, youtube, etc) click on facebook, make sure chat is enabled, and hit save.
You'll have to type in your FB email and password. Now when you look at your phone, under the messaging settings, you'll noticed that FB chat is enabled.
You will probably have to manually resync at the very least for it to work. Other people have reported that it just takes time for your contacts to show up, and some other people have had success simply waiting because eventually they showed up for them.
Hope this helps.

I've found that this is just an issue between Facebook chat and however Microsoft implements it. I've been using the Facebook chat integration in Windows Live Messenger 2011 since it first came out, and it can be sketchy at times. There are some people whom I'll appear online to, but they can't send me a message if I'm only logged in through Messenger. If I'm viewing the Facebook page, they can message me.
I also find that sometimes messages can take a long time to go through, if at all sometimes. It seems like every message will go through if you message back fairly quickly, but those that have been sitting for a while take a while to go through.
I also sometimes find that people will appear offline for no reason through Messenger, but everything works fine on the Facebook page.
I would imagine all these same problems from Messenger would also be there for the most part in Mango. It's an annoyance, but it has certainly made Messenger a lot more useful, and definitely will be a useful addition to Mango.
I stand corrected, the Facebook Chat support in Mango on my HD2 is actually working flawlessly. There hasn't been any missed messages, and only a couple have come in slightly delayed (no more than 10 seconds).
I've also been using my computer that is signed in with Windows Live 2011, and messages that come in and say the other person is offline, that isn't happening in Mango.
It's only been a couple days, but I'm impressed so far.

Mine started to work fine 2 days ago...
No clue what happened but glad it's ok now.. Loving Mango so much...
I installed InsertCoin Evolution v2.0 Custom Rom For HTC Sensation.
Everything works fine as now, The ROM is great.....
But I found one thing, is it a bug or what, i don't know...
Even though I am synchronized through Facebook, Contact pictures are not showing in messages.
When I restarts the Shell, the pictures starts coming but after some time, say 7 to 8 hr, again pictures of contacts goes blank whereas in contacts list, pictures are very much there.
I had restarts the phone several times, not only hot reboot which restarts shell only but did a full reboot. Even though the problem persists...
Any way to solve this....????
Ive had this problem before...
have you deleted the HTC Twitter apk? Ive found that once I delete that, my pictures wont show up in the contacts or messages, even tho I dont even use Twitter. if you have, just reflash the rom or restore the app if you can
if you havent deleted the apk, you can try clearing the data and cache for the Facebook app and uninstalling it/removing your account. then you can install it again and it should work fine

yaah i had deleted the HTC Twittere apk....
i don't use twitter that's why i did that, sad to hear that i have to install twitter for that, twitter is like a bloatware to me.... but i'll give a try to this solution
Rest hope for the best..
did you fix your problem? sorry its been a couple of days
I had this same problem myself, the problem was nothing to do with Twitter, the problem is with facebook and syncing fb contacts with phone book contacts, there becomes a conflict between users profile pictures on fb, and the pictures u have stored for those same contacts on your google account, anyway to fix this, first open facebook, press menu, settings, scroll to the bottom where the sync options are and change to don't sync, it will clear user data for u, next exit facebook, what I did after this, was via rcmix settings I cleared the dalvik cache and cache, then rebooted the phone, once your back up and running, u can either go through each contact at a time and edit them assigning a new picture to them or remove your google account and re add it, next u can set facebook back up, this time though select don't sync, when your finished goto your system settings, accounts and sync, facebook and just tick calender events and live feed, leave the contacts unchecked, that's it, should be done, the only thing u loose is in your phone book contacts their facebook status will no longer appear.
this seems to be yet another bug with MIUI that many have

I switched to Edison Mail. Small footprint. Instant notifications. All the functions of Gmail plus the added bonus of a combined In Box. Just like GMail it reads my messages and adds things to my calendar, reminds me about bills, etc.

yep, this is so much better than the gmail app just for the mark as read option in notifications. I'm switching to this full time. thanks so much.
