Friend stream widget isn't updating facebook for me...
It updates twitter just fine and facebook on the friend stream app but on the widget on the homescreens it updates twitter but not facebook...I tried logging out of twitter and only left facebook on...and facebook doesnt update in the widget.
I've checked account & sync, facebook does sync and update and when i go onto the friend stream app, it's updated but in the widget it doesn't update...
I've tried clearing the cache. clearing data...removed account and relogined and even desperate enough to try a factory reset....I did all of it and facebook still doesn't update in the widget.
I would be grateful for any help.
Thank you.
I've got exactly the same problem... I tried all you can imagine : clear cache, clear data, remove all accounts linked to friendstream and re add it.
Nothing worked : the widget do not update facebook posts although the app is updated. I do not understand why it suddenly fails (worked perfectly during 4 months).
I'm very disappointed : how HTC can sell phones with so buggy apps ? Very frustrating to have a nice widget that can't be used...
The same here: FriendStream didn't update anymore. I guess this problem started the day I changed my Facebook password. I removed the Facebook for HTC Sense account and re-added it. No change.
Update: I've just removed HTC Sense account again, tried to log-in with a wrong facebook password (unsuccessfullly, of course). Then I entered the right password and everything seems to be just fine now!

Hi,
Facebook in Timescape didn't update since 5 July! At first I thought it is something in Timescape but after deleting my account and adding my wife's account it worked and updated with no problem!
I added my account again and it stopped working!
I tried to change the privacy setting on facebook, and even deactivating and reactivating the account again but no luck!
Facts:
- The X10 is added as an authorised app on facebook.
- My account is working on the facebook app.
- Timescape doesn't show any error messages, it just doesn't show any updates.
- Timescape works with different accounts.
- Twitter is working perfectly.
Any help please?
Thanks ..
looking at this issue, initially I thought the task-killer app could be the culprit...
but you hav no issue with your wife's account....
Maybe you can try double-checking your log in setting??
hope it helps...
Hi,
I deleted then added my account more than one time! While the same setting are working on the Facebook app!
I can see and assign my Facebook friends list to my contacts, but the updates doesn't show on Timescape!

Just did a factory wipe of my phone and now when trying to log in to Facebook for HTC Sense I am getting: The service is currently unavailable. Would you like to try again. Tried again with and without wireless to no avail.
Anyone else having this issue?
Restored back to a Nandroid backup that had been working fine, removed the Facebook for HTC Sense sync account and tried re-adding it, getting same issue. Sounds like a problem with Facebook.
Just flashed my Desire tonight and I can't sync Facebook.....it's getting me mad now.....grrrrrrr
It is ok, that is a very useless bloatware feature of Sense... Soo lucky!
I like the Facebook for HTC Sense app, it sync pictures for all of my contacts to their Facebook accounts so I don't have to. I loved that feature in MobileShell 3.5 for Windows mobile.

Heres HTC's response.....not tried it though as no doubt it won't work
In regards to Facebook I can help you with that. Please try the following steps if these do not help please contact the HTC helpline. Check People>Menu>View and confirm is the Facebook and/or the Facebook for HTC Sense is ticked. Log into there Facebook Account online and check if anything has changed. Does your password contain any unusual characters? (!ӣ$%^&*()_+) etc. Open People app>select the globe symbol>Facebook>Menu> Refresh. If you have checked all this and it fails try Home>Menu>Applications>Manage Applications >Facebook for HTC Sense>Clear Cache>Clear Data. Home>Menu>Settings >Accounts & Sync>Facebook for HTC Sense>Sync Now. I trust that this resolves your query. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.
kurtish your pessimism was spot on. HTC's instructions do not work.
I noticed this as well after using the OTA update leak
Just ran Across this on the XDA home page today
HTC Sense Not Playing Nice with Facebook
Followed the steps in the post and Facebook for HTC Sense now connects, but it still doesn't seem to be working properly. If I go to a contact and try to link it to a facebook contact it doesn't show any of my contacts. Definitel sounds like Facebook changed something that broke the way the HTC Facebook app interacted with it.
Functionality seems to be restored for some users now, I personally had to nandroid restore back to a few days ago pre-FB/HTC issue, but once I did that+some muddling/restarts, all contacts sync'd as they should. YMMV
I have had the same issue with sense not getting along with face book. In people, where you choose which contacts to show, I checked my contacts for face book but it showed 0 of them. After restoring any data I thought would help thru titanium, un-installing fb, re installing fb, and re booting did things seem to be back to normal.
Beamed into cyber space by my Droid Incredible
Apparently HTC have advised some customers that the issue will be fix within 48 hours.....so give it until Christmas and we'll be able to sync again
Do any of you had problem syncing contacts from facebook after the OTA J16 update?
I had this problem too, FB wouldn't sync so I didn't have contact pictures for any of my contacts. I removed my account, added it again, forced resync a few times, rebooted the phone and nothing seemed to work. Then, like an hour later it synced. Seems to be working fine except I have one contact tha has the wrong profiles picture shown and I can't figure out how to fix that.
@deadpass, do you have facebook for android installed? I have that installed and have the widget for launcher pro as well.

I do, the widget is on one of my home pages and it updates fine. I just removed and readded by FB account and all the pictures sync again, but I still have the one contact that has the incorrect picture.
Fb and twitter sync is completely norked on my phone. I meed to get a netbook soon cause these smartphones are wholly unreliable, imo.

Please, does anyone know how to bypass this? I had all my contacts synced since the day i got my droid x, since then i notice that my profile pic stayed the same but didnt bother me. I was getting updates from facebook thru my Social Networking app and my facebook contacts were on my regular Contact Book.
Last night I notice that my new facebook friends werent synced, so i started playing around and finally got upsit and deleted all my facebook info and app from my phone. Well to my luck, the new facebook app does NOT have the option to Sync all Facebook contacts and ive tried installing old versions of the apk but to my luck they wont allow me to log in to the facebook app. I get a pipe error or something.(i tried from 1.0 to 1.4)
Now i dont get any updates from facebook nor my facebook contacts show up in my address book.
I dont know if to blame my Droid X or my Facebook App... I just want to fix this frustrating DoS attack. yes, i call it a DoS attack because its the same thing as a Denial of Service. Thank you all.
Try deleting your cache and any facebook data created. I have the new facebook app and am able to sync with it and am able to install an old one and use it so it must have left over data somewhere. I prefer SyncMyPix myself to sync.
Quick fix...installing it over WIFI.

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.
