All of a sudden I got "An error had occurred while fetching data [null]" every time I want to see my live feed and my own profile from my Nexus One phone (stock Facebook app). I have no problem accessing it from the browser or PC.
Strange thing though, when i log out, then re-login using OTHER facebook account, I can see the live feed and the profile page no problem. Everything works fine again.
However, once i login using MY account, problem starts again.
I have hard reset my N1, problem still there.
Any idea? Please help.
I like the stock Facebook app on N1, don't really want to install another app or use browser to access it.
Oh and my N1 is stock, no root yet.
Thank you
Calm down and take a deep breath I have the same problem. It is not your phone it is facebook server. I had the problem yesterday shortly and today in the morning. Now it seems ok for me...wait until they repair the problem and use the browser application in the meantime...
i had the same issue also, mine seems to be working now though.
so server related not my phone?
phew...
mine still isn't working though
still not working? dang, just give it some time, mine was out a good 6-7 hours
I've had this issue on the Desire ROM where the live feed on the Friend Stream just refuses to update... I was "locked out" for a few days.
strange, it wasn't working for a while until u put the facebook widget on my home. click on the facebook icon, then ta-da! all working again.
Not sure if it was a coincidence...
It's a problem with some 3rd party apps that push data to your facebook feed and the client's interpretation of the XML. Zynga apps being one of them.
You can experiment by hiding various 3rd party apps form your facebook feed (or logging in when you get the error on a computer and seeing what apps were there and not on your phone).
Once they're hidden (or, over time as they pass further down the history list) your feed will work fine.
i don't play games on facebook, nor have i allow any games to be on my profile.
strange, but it works ok now.
Not just games this can be form ANY third party app that has an illegal character in it....this includes quizes, "who visited your profile", horoscopes, any of those things, anything that is not a pure-facebook update.
Same problem here on htc desire S. On wifi all is ok. On 3g ''An error had occurred while fetching data (null.)'' This is very strange.

.. is really starting to p*ss me off. I'm going to get really sick really quickly of having to re-associate all my contacts with their Facebook profiles every time the Hero decides to spontaneously delete them.
Has anyone found a workaround?
Edit: Hmmm... seems if you close all the background HTC processes like com.htc.socialnetwork.provider and com.htc.album:remote with TasKiller, it'll re-update everything when the processes start back up again.
It's still stupid!
And if you decided not to update your contact picture when you linked them, it will overwrite your specific photo anyway ! that's also very anoying if you don't want the facebook photos !
That's funny I was just logging in to report this problem. It happened to me for the first time today. It really pissed me off that for no reason all my facebook associations got deleted from contacts, rebooting the phone and killing the process didn't bring them back either. I don't even have the process com.htc.album:remote running in task killer. They need to get an improved rom out and fast, i've had this phone less than a week and i'm really starting to miss my iphone.
This happened to me today, but it was because for some reason I had been logged out of FB. Otherwise, I have not experienced this 'deletion' issue...
Strange.
Does anyone know why the phone would just log you off of facebook? Is there any good way to avoid this? I hope logging on to facebook on a computer doesn't kick you off.
I'm glad I saw this thread and that I am not the only one!
It is getting very annoying but I expect it will be fixed eventually, I just hope it doesn't take too long!
This happened to me the first time yesterday. And 2 other people in this thread had it happen yesterday. Maybe it's something at facebooks end. There could be some sort of timeout and were all getting logged out at the same time.
it is very odd.
Sat here at work, there's four of us with hero's now.
one of us gets it, the other three don't.
the two G2 devices don't, and only one of the Orange Hero's gets it.
very strange.
Okay I think that I can guess what is happening here. I have the same problem with my Facebook contacts losing their picture status and albums about every 24 hours (on stock G2). I know that when I leave my browser up overnight on my Facebook page, Facebook will log me out. I presume that it is doing the same thing with this phone and suspect that HTC did not spend long enough testing the ‘people’ application to observe this. I further guess that when the phone is logged out by Facebook it does not try to sign in again, deleting the information previously retrieved when a refresh is unsuccessful. I am not a developer and don’t have any way to back all this up but if I am correct then HTC would need to implement a workaround for this behaviour in order to fix it. Probably the easiest way to do this would be to have the application:
1. Automatically sign in again (signing out if necessary) every 12 hours or so.
2. Retain previously cached data, e.g. pictures, unless explicitly deleted even when Facebook refresh is unavailable.
This doesn’t fix the problem of the now-permanently unlinked Facebook contact (as per Don Vincenzo on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4276194#post4276194) but it would be an improvement.
I hard reset earlier which had previously fixed it, but now it only shows that I have one Facebook contact to choose from and no one else can be linked from.
It shows it as if I have only one Facebook friend.
Very strange.
Yep had the same issues.
Ultimately I found the best cure is just to wait for the two hours before it automatically updates everything.
I've only gone through my contact list once and linked all the profiles, however I have appeared to have "lost" the link many times...
So basically don't do anything, just wait.. lol they will return
Never had this issue yet but all my facebook - contact information is also sync'd with the exchange server
I was afraid that after my master reset I would have to reassociate all of my contacts but it seems that the association is stored on google contacts too, so they just all came back again
Its been 2 days now and my associations have not come back, man that's gonna suck if it resets them every couple of days. The facebook integration was one of the main selling points for me for the phone. I sync my contacts with outlook so I don't have any under my gmail name. Is it better to import all my contacts in to gmail so it retains my facebook links? If so is there a way I can sync the contacts that are already on my phone to my gmail account from my phone?
I may or may not have found a solution, or a way of preventing it. I'm using TasKiller to close all my running processes every few hours to preserve battery life etc. I noticed that when I put some of the system processes in the ignore list, (com.htc.socialnetwork.provider for example) the Facebook problem happened again. If I don't have any processes in the ignore list, and make sure to kill them once or twice a day, my contacts stay associated with Facebook.
Last time my contacts associations disappeared, I killed all running processes, took everything out the ignore list and went into the People app, and scrolled along to the facebook updates page. I hit menu, then 'update now'. This restored everything back to the way it was.
The disassociation just happened for me again - all my contacts suddenly needed reconnecting.
This is a different problem to the one I was discussing in the other thread 'It's a wee bit buggy...', where previously available contact data (profile pic, birthday, albums etc) can now not be retrieved by the Hero once a contact is linked. This functionality has not returned since it first occurred for me, and means that, irrespective of the associations holding, only about 75% of those contacts on the device that should be able to sync actually successfully sync. From what I can tell, this could possibly be an issue with Facebook privacy settings, though why it only happened a week after having the device I'm not sure.
With regard to the associations holding after a hard reset, the People app on the device stores the Facebook association data in the 'Notes' field of the contact, which is then synced to Google Contacts. If you wipe and then re-download your contacts from Google, this info comes back with it, and the People app then sees those contacts as linked. Given this, it seems even stranger that the links get broken in the first place, as it suggests that for some reason that the data in that field is not persistent...
Have the association loss occasionally but I find if you ignore it then the association comes back after a little while.
In relation to some (but not all) friends losing associations it is due to the friend changing their Facebook application settings. My girlfriend's photo disappeared a week ago, so I got her to change her fb settings and it came back. Not sure why it happened a week ago cause she changed the setting longer ago than that, but guess it is Facebook, not HTC.
Has anyone reported this to HTC? Its happening far too frequently on my gf's (pink) Hero.
So maybe it's not the same but it's definitely related:
I've now gotten to the point where I can not view my own contact details when I'm logged into facebook. That is, if I am signed in, and I try to view my contact card, I get a crash in process "android.process.acore" (this also happens when trying to update my status). If I edit my details and make sure I'm signed out of facebook, everything is fine except that all details of all linked profiles disappear...
Can anybody else confirm this?
BTW, I noticed that if you sign out using your contact card, and then sign in again (miraculously this does work!) the People app will retry to link friends to your facebook friends, so you can "force" a resync this way...
I keep getting this issue too. What i do is go to contacts, then on to the 'updates' tab, my contact card still shows my pic and me as logged in. I then press menu and update now. This resyncs all my contacts straight away. Annoying i know but at least it recognises them again after a bit.
For some reason my Gmail App has stopped working properly about 1hr ago. Every time I open the app the conversations start loading then get to the bottom of the screen the force close message below pops up:
"The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008062027_com_google_process_gapps.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log."
No success after rebooting the phone several times. Can anyone please shed some light? I really have no clue to what happened ... now I have to use the email client .
Thanks in advance for your help, really appreciate it.
I just checked to see if it was a problem with the app itself and mine is loading all conversations fine. Did you delete or replace anything prior to?
No I didn't do anything to the phone, not even install or uninstall any apps. This is so strange.
Maybe try removing the account and doing it again... It shouldn't mess anything else up. I'll try it out on my phone now to confirm.
[Update] Wouldn't let me do it because it's the primary. A factory reset is the only way to completely remove it. You can try clicking on sync gmail to stop it and then click on it again to force a refresh. Idk if that'll fix your particular problem though
Try going to settings, applications, manage applications, menu button, filter, all. Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage, then try to resync.

I did a factory setting, unfortunately it did not fix the issue.
It doesn't work...
Ok, after 4hrs of insanity trying to figure out what suddently went wrong with my vibrant. I came to a conclusion that it's not my phone because when I added my wife's GMAIL account, the force close did not come up and all the conversations were loaded without any issues.
Apparently, the server where my GMAIL account is located seems to have some problems since I keep getting sync errors with contacts and calendar as well.
Have you tried logging into your account from an actual computer? Perhaps there is a problem with your account. I know I had weird sync errors when my account got compromised by a spammer last month, and google locked my account until I changed the password.

The weirdest thing is when I used my PC I didn't encounter any issues... That's why I thought the problem came from the phone @ the beginning.
Since this morning everything seems got back to normal. All the conversations loaded no problem.

I'm getting this now, too. My first two screens of gmail are shown but if I scroll down to where it says "Loading conversations" the after a few seconds the error pops up. I wonder if there is a "bad"email in our inbox that the gmail app doesn't know how to handle - something along three lines of unexpected characters in the email header/subject/etc or some partis badly formatted or too long like the header or something in it. Tomorrow (Sunday) I will try archiving my old messages on gmail and see if that makes the error go away. If it does then it a pretty good bet that one of the emails is causing three problem (the app still shouldn't crash but it would at least help explain what is happening).

Well I was able to avoid the error by archiving or deleting old emails in the inbox. I noticed when you have a large volume in one single label it causes the crash while loading conversations. I do not think it comes from a "bad" email, it's just a glitch in the app itself that folks @ Google need to work on.
Another thing that I noticed is when I logged-in my email using Nexus One, the force close did not occur but there was a failed connection-try again message.
Same problem here, noticed it today... good to know im not alone heh, but like the OP said im pretty sure it is a glitch in the app, so we'll maybe have to wait for a fix.
Confirmed, only by trying to scroll down really fast (and I'm on wifi). This was not an issue on my g1, of course I was using custom rom's. It'll certainly be addressed.
I have not encountered this problem with the Gmail app yet but I have had the exact same issue come up with the Messaging app twice so far.
But the problem has not stopped me from using the Messaging app and I was able to go right back into it each time it happened. It happened once about 30 minutes ago, and another time over a week ago.
I think it may have to do with the 200 text limit that I have turned off. Since Inbox is at 173 right now with Outbox 89, last deleted a few days ago and also with 33 conversations.
It does get a little laggy too but I have noticed it lag with only a few conversations with maybe an overall total of 30 text messages. I never had it lag this much on the G1 and I would have over 1000+ text messages and with cyanogenmod.
I am having the same issue.
I am getting the same thing too.
Mine started late last week after I updated the Facebook app. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling (highly doubt it was related, but due to coincidence I had to try it) and it was doing the same thing.
I did a factory wipe - same thing. I ran fix permissions and rebooted - same thing.
I am not sure it is related to having too many items in one label as I have just shy of 300 items in my inbox, and I have had about the same (give or take 2-3) for months (I use many, many labels to manage things), but I am going to try to organize, move, delete, archive, etc. some of my messages and see what happens.
Google knows of the issue.

Thanks for the link. I haven't had time to search today while I've been at work.
FYI, it looks like this may have been fixed. Mine has stopped doing it this morning. Checking the issue link that laris posted, nothing confirmed from Google that it is fixed yet though. Couple of people reporting that theirs is fixed too.
Anyone else having this problem with the facebook app on their HD2?
All status updates in the news feed appear to be wall posts to the same user (see pic attached).
Also Status Updates are just blank.
I've tried full reset, removing my memory card, and literally just installing the facebook app (from marketplace) and I still get the same issue.
oh, the same on my Facebook Client...
same here, this was reported in the energy rom thread too.
seems to be an error at facebooks end and theres not much we can do....
I would recommend using touch.facebook.com in the meantime....
LOL, yeah got the same here, glad it's not just me,
Also using the energy rom here,
I've got the same... It's such a mess now
Same here.,really messes it up.,hopefully they will fix soon
seems to be working again!
I have this problem, but it hasn't started working again for me! If I log out and back in, it will gather updates once, but then it will stop working again!
Arghhhhhh!
I have the same problem with updates, my app won't update at all even if I hit refresh.
log out of facebook and log back in every time you want it to update. or use your browser.
I have this weird error on my stock P6800. When doing a sync with my google account, I get a Google sign-in error and need to enter my password. My password is not accepted, although in my I9100 it works fine.
Even with this google sign-in error, I am still getting my contacts, gmail, drive, calendar and g+ correctly synced ..... it's that annoying little triangle error that bugs me.
Tried to uncheck items to sync but still getting that error. Anybody else having this before I wipe everything to factory?
Same thing happened since yesterday. It started just after updating the new G+ apps. I thought it was due to my fiddling with 2-step authentication setup, but nope, that wasn't it. Tried reset/reinstall everything. Also tried changing new password. Same thing happened again after installing with the new G+.
I just turned off background sync for G+ (and leave other google apps as-is), and it seems did the trick to stop the error popping up. This is not exactly an answer, but simply a temporary workaround until google comes up with update to fix.
(This problem is not limited to any particular brand of android phone or tablet. Do a google search on "google sign-in error" and you may find many incident mushrooming in past day or so.)
I tried turning off sync, one item at a time. Still having that sign-in error. This is definitely affecting not all since my stock I9100 with the very same account and sets of google apps does not give the sign-in error.
Same problem here too and Problem started yesterday night here in KL. I'm using an HTC Incredible S btw.
It's getting really annoying now so hopefully Google will get it fixed ASAP.
Same here since yesterday.

I think it's Firefox Sync problem
I think the problem is with the new Firefox Sync
he he I do not have Firefox on my Lenovo K800 but I still have the problem
Same here, since last night. Constant authentication errors; I can login fine from my computer and from other computers with the same password as always, and everything seems to sync fine - I still get e-mail, Reader works, G+ works...
Just ignoring it for now.

Solution
I found it's a Google+ sync error. Just deactivate Google+ sync on settings and it will be OK again.
Made a lot of tests, until I found the right way.
I tried with two separate accounts and it gave me the error with all of them. So just deactivating Google+ sync made the error dissapears.
Same for me. I just uninstalled Google+ and reinstalled it, and sync is now possible without error.
Google fixed this error
This seems to be fixed before the Google+ update last saturday. Glad we didn't factory reset
Same thing happened to me. I thought my account was hacked so ichanged the password but the error still persisted so i just let it be, after some updates with Google+ the error is now gone.
With the last revision, I have no sync error, but I can't open Google+, because as soon as I select the account, it tries to connect but gives an error "Without conection", and then a forzed close window. So I've got not sync error at this moment, but can't use Google+ too :crying:
This issue just started up again and I do not have google+ or firefox installed. Any solution that actually works?
wrong place
Hi. I’m having a problem with my Nexus 7 fetching notifications, and I’m hoping someone might be able to solve the issue... without having to do a reinstall. I may have inadvertently caused the issue myself, but have no idea how and don’t know how to fix it.
To give you some background, I was using my N7 rooted with stock ROM all through 4.2.1, and life was fine. My problems arose when 4.2.2 was released OTA. For some odd reason, the update would download, the tablet would tell me so, but when I would try to install it, the bootloader would lock up in an error. Rebooting and going into settings to force a search for the update would return an “up to date” message even though I was still on 4.2.1. 2-3 days later, the icon would return to tell me that the update was downloaded, but attempting to install would only result in an error.
I finally decided to unroot and relock the device to install the update. Directly after, I rerooted it. Of course, one of the main reasons I keep root is to use a backup service, and I ran Titanium to reload my apps and settings. A while after, I noticed that my phone would ring to notify me of incoming texts, Facebook updates, emails and such, but my tab, which I often looked forward to mildly annoying me with an echoing chime, would not. Once I log in to an app, it will then suddenly deliver me whatever notifications have been awaiting, but that kind of defeats the purpose. I’ve also noticed that the WiFi icon, which was normally blue 95% of the time is not consistently gray. It NEVER turns blue any more. I’m not quite sure what that means, but I’m almost certain it is somehow related.
In doing some research to fix the problem, I discovered an app that adjusts how often it pings for notifications. I was hoping that, somewhere in the midst of the update and my reinstalling old data, I’d deleted or overwritten this “Heartbeat”, and that the app would fix it, but it sadly has not.
Anyone have any idea what I’ve done and how to solve this problem?

Might be a problem with your account configured on the Nexus. I had a similar problem when I was playing around with framework-res.apk One time I didn't put the right signature and so my account was only 'half' stable, I.e. the account was there, but no syncing. I found out when starting the play store, there I was asked for my account ...
After inserting and reconfiguring mail / calendar / ... everything works fine now.

I tried deleting the data from the Google Play Store and Google Play Services apps. Had done the same with Google Voice earlier. Nothing changed. What do I need to do to "put the right signature"?
