Facebook doesn't work

Hey guys, I've recently updated to the leaked Froyo update and occured some problems. My phone worked fine the first couple days, but now for the last two my facebook app doesn't work. Ive tried whiping, reinstalling the update, clearing cache for the app, and re logging back into it. The error message I keep getting is:
"An error has occuried while fetching data. [null]"
I've never seen this kind of error before, and can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas or suggestions? I had CM5.0.6 on before this if that info helps. If you need anything else from lemme know, caz I'm out of ideas

Same problem here. Noticed it today. Even at home with wifi connected, I get that same message on Facebook. Anyone have an idea why. Facebood worked for a couple of days after updating to froyo, then now nothng

i have stock nexus one. started happening to me yesterday

It's not your ROM or phone people having same problem on the hero

btw - tested facebook app on my xperia x10a. gets the SAME error. facebook app problem, probably.

It's definitely a problem with Facebook itself. Most likely due to the changes in privacy settings (again).

ya, wifes cliq has the same issue all day

Yea doesn't work on mine either as of later night...same. " null" error. Strangely, I loaded 'Blue' and it works fine

Its a Facebook issue

Wife says her iPhone won't even work, so Facebook screwed something in the API.. Probably making changes so random people have even more access to your information.

Not androids fault. Blame it on facebook. Its on their end.

lol couldnt have been said better ..i started having this too. it just started today..i can get notifications to load correctly and comment and what not,but when i go to neww posts people have put or try to write something on my wall then i get that notification..

Facebook just changed the users privacy settings once again, so that's why.
It's working again today.
Hopefully, with the Android Facebook SDK released yesterday, it won't be too long before we get a really good facebook app like the one on the iPhone (as opposed to the crap we have now).

Ever seen the Windows Mobile Facebook? The current Android one is awesome compared to it.. Never looked at it on the iPhone.
And gee, I was right.. They were adding more "Privacy" settings. Funny how they use the word "Privacy".

Not sure if any of you saw this or not but I trust in Eric Tseng. He's been at Facebook about two weeks and he's already getting stuff done. http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/385
Btw the error fetching data happens to me too. It happens all the time and they have to end up updating again. Have faith in Tseng!! He just needs more time.

I had that error too, it went away early this morning...
also, I cannot wait to see what the next facebook app has in store with the SDK being released...does this mean our facebook client will equal or even surpase the iPhone one?

even on a stock rom, i still have issues with fb

Facebook app seems to work just fine here (N1 running Froyo). I've tested using both both 3G and WiFi.

It's working now, the app was broken for a while. Pretty much all of yesterday.

Facebook app update

Just downloaded update and seems lot closer now to look like the iPhone one. I don't use Facebook app much so anybody notice any major differences since last one?

yep.. it auto updated this morning for me.. and its much nicer feel to it.. also like the little photo slider at the bottom.

wish they would implement facebook chat though

Much better, only thing I miss is to see who liked smth, option to slide to next picture when viewing pictures(it is so stupid to me to touch next and previous button) and chat

FB chat through the AIM client seems to work fine for me. But yes, it would be nice if we didn't have to run another app alongside the proper FB one.

Has anyone tried syncing contacts through Facebook rather than Facebook for HTC Sense? Since this update I have two Facebook accounts in the Accounts and Sync settings. If I try to use the new one it doesn't seem to work. It offers a new contact link but doesn't have pictures or anything attached to it.

while we wait for them to put chat on the app in the mean time download go chat the ui is good it looks like google talk

I can't believe items in the notification menu still take you to the mobile version of the site in your browser and don't stay within the app.
Apart from that, I like it.

Partial Wake usage withe the new 1.3 client
Check the "Partial Wake Usage" (*#*#4636#*#*): with Facebook client 1.3, no contact sync and autoupdate on "never" i have 100% usage (on facebook app)

A definite improvement... wish they'd change the horrible icon though.

Yep, I've just uninstalled the update.
Would this be because of the 'new notification implementation'? I did, for the first time ever, actually receive a notification whilst I had it installed!

It's using way to much of the cpu, too bad since I really liked the update but I need to uninstall it aswell Battery is more important!

Do people think a fix will come out for this? Surely this is an error, it uses way too much battery!

It has to be some sort of unforeseen thing. I would hope to see an update to fix this soon.
Mind you, I'm not overly impressed with the new features- was expected something far bigger and better.

I just wished, they can have a widget like the one on iphone where it displays the notifications on a corner.

Thank god I now know why my phone as gone from 100% to 0% in the space of 6 hrs.
Thought it was the Froyo update but can see now it looks like it's this new update.
Has anybody emailed them yet to inform them of the excessive battery increase?

Yes I have already mailed the developer
Sent from my HTC Desire

I installed it when I first saw that the 1.3 was released and I haven't noticed any difference what so ever on my battery usage. I don't use any taskkiller so I haven't killed it of.

is there any fix for the battery-usage-of-death issue ?

[Q]Facebook

Anybody noticed that Facebook push notification aren't working?

Noticed that...can't find any reaso why.
Should work with Android 2.2.X but it doesnt

Ah I'm glad it's not just me. Well I thought it was just the ROM I'm using but like you said all 2.2 devices should support it.

Since today i'm running RAFDROID HD 3.1 and there is no "push" setting in facebook available.
I think it's an Facebook bug because a friend of me have an Desire HD and there a no notifications, too.
Are there any solutions to get they working? I would love push notifications in facebook

There never was any push setting it jusr sort of happened try going back to version 1.5.0. Tell me if it works. The apk is attached for you.

I noticed that the notification aren't working when on mobile data, then a message appears saying that notification cannot be checked (connection reset by peer) or s.thing similar.
However, when on WiFi the notifications are loading.
Guess as well that it is a Facebook bug.

Ouch I don't have that problem. Are you sure you haven't turned off auto sync?

two weeks ago i was running a CoreDroid HD Rom and got the first time push notifications in facebook. i could swear i saw there an option called "push notifications" on/off...
maybe i was wrong.
since that time they never worked again on any rom i tried. (desire z / Raf / Coredroid...)
why we are so outstanding with android? it can't be so hard for the devs of the facebook app to get push working?!
Main thing is the applephone have it!!

Well maybe there was, I'm not sure. I have never seen it. Exactly the situation had them perfect until a week or so ago.
Lets face it the app could do with a facelift compared to the Apple one anyway.

HTC Sense Web Page

Hello guys, I just noticed that https://www.htcsense.com has a new look after login. What do you think, is it going to be fully functional until the end of the year 2012?
Just checked www.htcsense.com and i found that It Works. See attached pictures.

Whoaaaa...I didn't even know this page existed.....just tapping my login details and gonna check it out.....
thanks

I knew about it from the first day i bought my DHD but it didn't work like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VDQvvN0rmc. They changed the look now but are missing some buttons.

They still haven't fixed it!!!??? What a waste of time for them and us!
F*** me, if they haven't done it by now they never will...

This was always the screen from i could remember, there was a fully working site last October 2010. but since then this is the site i always see!!!

i dun think so...

Update
I updated first post with new pictures.

This was one of the things that led me to getting a DHD in Oct 2010 with the UK release - it worked for about a week - then never again and I cant see HTC ever getting the full functionality back.
TBH I'd forgotten all about the site!! I'll have a look in and see though.
ok this is what I get..
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Where has locations, messages etc gone!! It still can't do the basics like locate my phone, even though I have a GPS lock and 3g at full strength?? (Lookout found my phone in under 20 secs and was bang on with the location)
Well done HTC...FAIL!

It did and does work. Yes I did have issues with it but deleting your account on your phone and then setting it back up again sorted it out.
To take full advantage of it though background data and auto sync must be enabled. This is my problem with it as we all know what having them on does to your battery.
Edit: one other thing, update schedule should be set to "as items change (push)"

I had a webchat with HTC support this morning and they say that HTC Sense has been shut down until further notice.

I stand corrected. It is indeed. It was up until recently.

Well as far as I can tell its still "up", but it doesnt bloody work...

Ok guys, look what hapened. Two weeks ago my sense account from phone started to bother me with a password request because somehow it saw that my sense account pass was changed(i didn't do anything). I contacted a operator from HTC on live chat and sayed what was hapened. He told me that they do meintenance to servers and in 3 weeks I will have a completly working sense account on web. Looks that passed 2 weeks and some changes appeared. I have the same issue with communication between web and phone (no comunication), but seems that from just a dashboard menu i have another ones visible. Let's wait another week and see if they keep their promise.

Facebook Messenger Waking Screen on notification

I can't pin it down to this being an Android 4.3 issue or an update to the app itself so i'm asking for other peoples experience here. When you receive a facebook message and the screen is off, does it wake the screen?
I should also mention it happens too on my Nexus 7 (2013)

Yeah, I also noticed it started yesterday or the day before. Android 4.3 stock firmware. Pretty sure it's apps fault, tried different ROMs and got exact the same result. Someone should report this to developers.

I have a HTC One S, same thing occurring here... it appears to be the Messenger App's fault. Since I have had the same issue across 3 different roms

Yeah, I got the same issue with parandroid and the stock 4.3.
The screen wake up when I get a message on the desktop computer. I've shot down all the notifications on the phone and the problem's gone now.
**** .

So I'm definitely not alone then! I've just reverted back to the previous version and that's fixed it for the time being. Also sent the devs a message from within the app but seeing as this nod Facebook, who knows when it will get fixed
Sent from my Nexus 4

Good to hear, it's really annoying, I hope they fix it soon. Any tip how to revert back to old version? Or maybe you have the right apk to share with me please? I don't even know which version was the working one

Facebook is always a fail app.

The new update fixed it momentarily, but it's doing it again. I'm on 4.2.2 on an S4 and it's doing it too. Kills the battery, I hate it. Turning notifications off completely only disables it as it automatically turns on after a few hours.
Anyone have the APK for the version before this crap started happening?

Version 2.53 (here) doesn't seem to wake the screen for me...
Can't believe they still haven't fixed it... Wish more of my friends used hangouts

Well, thanks for the effort, but it still didn't fix my problem. Also tried different versions, but neither of them did work. Gotta wait for official update.

Okay, so I've found a fix. After trying absolutely everything I tried greenifying the app. Obviously when it's greenified the screen doesn't wake, because you aren't receiving any notifications at all. Strangely enough though, when you de-greenify the app, then run it again. No more screen wakes!
Have no idea why it works, but it does! So I'm happy!

I take back what I've said... It works temporarily, then starts waking the screen again

I'm also having the same problem, with my HTC One and my Nexus 7 2013.
I can reproduce the problem on the followings devices:
* HTC One running Sense 5
* HTC One running Google Edition RUU (4.3)
* Nexus 7 2013 (4.3 JSS15Q)
I dunno if the problem is really app related or not... What i find out is that trying to login with my friend account, the screen doesn't wake up when receiving a message. I tried further and created a dummy facebook account, and same, doesn't wake up the screen.
Just my facebook account is waking up my screen.
I didn't try long enough with my friend account and my dummy account if the problem will appear sooner or later.
Could be account related or app related, or both...

This is really interesting... I will try a friends account too to try confirm your findings. Maybe there's some abstract setting on the Facebook account itself that is causing the issue?

Okay, So I tried a fake account as well. Bam. No screen wake upon receiving notifications. So i'm going to assume it's account related... Only Facebook could pull this off...unbelievable..

unbelievable but true! it is account related. The question now is:
What do we have in common? (Developer?)
and are there any settings in Facebook which could stop this behavior.

I have the same issue and tried everthing to get rid of it without turning all the notifications off on the app. I really dont like to have my screen on every time a get a message. I could notice that this is happening on android and ios devices.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but... did anyone find a solution? I've got the same problem with Facebook. I remember I applied for beta testing some months ago, but then I "resigned" and went back to the normal app. Problem still occurs, though. Isn't there a way to solve this?
