Anyone having issues loading the Facebook app? When I try to open, it doesn't show any feeds or it just doesn't load any new feeds..
Having trouble with the Facebook Sync (the one tied to the phone, the App works fine) right now. Have the icon on the status bar and keeps telling me login failed and try later.
Facebook in general seems to be having issues right now. I just checked and I can't even access their main site.
Facebook is on it's period it seems. Be patient, there's more to the world...

I'm having a problem with the 'events and updates feature' retrieving updates from facebook.
When I select the 'update now' option in the 'updates and events' section for a contact it never retrieves any facebook information for any of the contacts.
All of my contacts are correctly linked to their facebook accounts but the application never picks up ANY updates.
Any ideas? I'm on O2 btw
your "me" contact card needs to be logged in, check that, also in the pictures tab, albums, switch to facebook tab..can you see their pictures?
if not you're not logged in.
Hi thanks for replying
yes I can see my 'me' contact card in the updates and events and can also see the facebook pictures in the facebook tab so it appears to be logged in fine.

I dont use facebook so cant really suggest anything else. I do know from the missus that fbook website has been flakey for her this past week or two, and i'm sure i read they are currently moving datacenters or something, so who knows. Maybe your friends just all stopped updating!
I dont really know how the application itself works, but for me, the updates seem to take a while (as an indication, about 3 or 4 minutes for 500 friends over wifi - dont know how big a difference the number of friends make). I've got to keep touching the screen so that it doesn't go into "sleep" mode otherwise it stops and I have to start again.
If I leave the screen on the "Updates and Events" page while it says "Updating...", the info will not automatically update even once all the data has been downloaded. I have to move across to another page (eg, Favourites, Groups, etc and then scroll back to see the actual updates.
Hope this helps .
btw.. I'm on Dutty's V1.5, if that makes any difference.
I have the same problem
it say ( updating...) when i click update now
but then the (updating ..) dissapears and nothing updated !!!!
but when i click update on a selected contact .. it become update !!!!
it was working fine ..i dont know what happened ?
Facebook updates working only for some contacts
For me it works for some contacts but not for all.
Just got my HD2 2 days ago, so so far only 10 people/contacts are linked to facebook.
- 9 fail to deliver/retrieve updates,
- 1 works
I noticed that the one status update that I received was really new, so I just wonder if there is somewhere a setting on how old the status updates can be, to be seen on the HD2.
I also had on unanswered event request, that one worked well.
One more issue, I can browse the album of almost all facebook contacts, but it's not working for one. does anybody know what could be the reason. Are only alboms which are set to be viewed by anybody browsable by HD2 (not the ones only visible to friends)?
I had the same issue, worked for a few days then would attempt to update, appeared to do so but no new info present.
Ended up having to go to Start/settings/data services/social networks and turn off facebook and then do it again.
After this for some strange reason it now works and has continued to for weeks.
Hi all,
I'm new here so please be gentle if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I have an HD2 that came bundled with the Facebook app. All was fine but I refreshed my friends list and now they all appear twice. I've tried uninstalling the app and then redownloading and installing etc but the problem remains.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tom.
Did you use some other software to import your facebook contacts at some point?
Hi
Nope, I'll I have done is logged in to the Facebook app and my friends appeared in there as per the full Facebook website. I hit 'refresh' on them a few days ago to see their updated status / profile pics and ever since then they've been listed twice.
Tom.
tried logging out and back in? Its also worth remembering that being logged in through the facebook program isn;t quite the same as being logged in through the 'me' contact card in your contact list.
I've tried logging out etc. It's so strange! Even the un / reinstall didn't fix it.
i take it when you log in via the pc all is fine? it isn't a facebook problem?
All fine via standard 'web based' Facebook.
In fact, it appears that the friends simply aren't getting updated. The profile pics change (sometimes) but I've added new friends via facebook on the web, and they just aren't appearing on the mobile app.
P.S. Perhaps I should be working and not playing on Facebook!!!
go too people all people, bottom tabs scroll to updates and events, (4th tab) menu update. stay on that screen (it says updating in the banner just down from top right) don't exit that screen till it has finished.
Hi
Sorry still no joy. Just to clarify, I am referring to friends listed under the Facebook app itself (middle icon on blue bar at top of facebook app).
Many thanks for your efforts so far.
Tom.
ahh well in that case I'd put it down to the vast number of issues since the made changes recently. my missus always gets a blank wall untill she has refreshed the page and flivked through all her tabs and she gets the "there has been an error" popup every few minutes.
Code:
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.
I cant log on to the damn thing. I know that I'm entering the correct user/pass, but I'm allways getting a "There was an error trying to log on. Try again?"
If I intentionally enter the wrong pass, Im getting the message that the entered pass is wrong.
So I know that my PDA has communication with Facebook, but is still unable to log on.
I'm using the latest 1.36 ROM.
Anyone else who has this problem?
I haven't had the problem but have you tried to login on Facebook via their site? Maybe they had a technical problem.
No problems logging on, in a web browser.
m.facebook.com allso works flawlessly on the PDA.
But Facebook integration in HTC Sense, still dossent work
I have same problem so i now always use website.
i had trouble with this but after the htc rom update its been workin fine, although i do have to logout before closing the programme otherwise when i next login it wont refresh or update and comments or status's i make
My ROM is also the very latest.
But it dossent work at all
I can log on to facebook, but it seems that updating stops as soon as I exit facebook app: When I start it again, the only way to get any refresh is to log off and then login to facebook again. Also, the phone shows that the new facebook version from marketplace is installed, but about dialog of the app shows 1.1.0.17 instead of version 1.2 that should be the newest one
After the Facebook crash in september no version at all is working. In the meantime I am using the facebook Instant messenger (fim). It is messenger and also good for accessing facebook. Try it, it works also on HD Mini. See my other posting:

I have the same problem
Same problem for me too! Very annoying indeed, and I hope a fix is available soon
Running DK28 on my Epic 4G, not rooted, haven't made any changes to facebook/twitter or anything on my phone. For some reason the Feeds & Updates widget hasn't updated in a couple days though, I tried to manually make it update and it says network not available (everything else works fine though).
Facebook and Twitter apps are both the latest version and the linked contacts in my contact list are still up to date.
Any ideas guys?
I read that Facebook had an update recently. I was on the Epic's stock version of Facebook; right after the update was offered in the market, I noticed the SNS sync process kept prompting me to log in. The prompt occurred with each sync interval because the sync failed to connect.
The constant prompts and lack of synchronization basically forced me upgrade to this latest update. So far things seem stable, but I'm keeping an eye on my battery consumption. The complaints on this update are lengthy.
Twitter: I dunno. I don't have an account for that service.
As for the actual Samsung widgets, Facebook could have changed something on the back-end that broke the widget for now. Who knows, but this wouldn't explain your Twitter account not displaying feeds.
At first I thought it was due to the recent facebook update, but it started before I downloaded it. I also had a newer version of the app than the stock one with the phone (I think I had 1.5.0, and the update was 1.5.1 - I was using whichever one was the second most recent and first added fb chat).
All other facebook related stuff is working fine apart from facebook contact photos only being shown on the contacts list and not on calls/messages. Twitter works fine too outside of the Samsung widget,

This happened to me this morning. I had to manually sync all my Google Contacts to their respective FB account. When I let FB do it automatically, it did not carry over to SMS.
Answer:
1. Go to settings > Accounts and sync
2. Delete all the accounts(Well, you don't have to delete twitter or google, but the facebook ones)
3. Reboot your phone. [Edit by nikon120: Used to say "Reset", but that is misleading.]
4. Go back into settings > Accounts and sync.
5. Add the facebook account(Under Integrated, not More).
6. To test if this worked, sync a contact to facebook(Long pressing their name, click "Link account", find the account and link them) Their picture should come up.

hm
the feeds & updates widget sync'd earlier today, but now it's busted again
EDIT: Also my contacts are just phone contacts, I don't have them on my google contact list (except for one). It's phone + fb, and one or two twitters.
It's up for a day, down for a day - now it's saying "no feeds to display."
Man... sod Samsung.
