After I installed the new Facebook for android application (1.5.1) on my DHD device I can not check my notifications.
Every time I launch the facebook application it tells me there was an error "connection reset by peers".
Any solutions ?
Maybe try to delete cache for facebook
I tried deleting data and cache and still does not work.
Update: Uninstalling the update and going back to the older version. All notification working properly
Still need to find a solution to get the notifications and syncing issues solves on the new version.
so i am using the older facebook application version because the new version give me the same error "connection reset by peer".
do u know how to downgrade back to the 1.5version?
To uninstall the updates. Goto applications -> select facebook -> u'll have a button saying un-instal updates.
This should push u back to v1.5.0

So is it solved now?
Update:
The new facebook application works fine of Wifi. Receive all notifications and updates.
It is only on Mobile(3G) internet that the facebook application shows me the error.
I get the same error pretty frequently. I usually just log on to Facebook using Dolphin Browser.
The Facebook Android app needs a lot of work to catch up to the Apple version.

I hate that I can't upload pics to someone's wall. I can do it on the iPhone...
And I have a problem with showing notifications but they won't go away after checking them.
i got the same problem with version 1.5.1 ("Connection reset by peer")
i also tried deleting cache and so on. did not help.
version 1.5 is working good, but it does not have chat, like 1.5.1
so i want 1.5.1 to work.
i've got the problem since two days now. i was using 1.5.1 before and everything worked well, but suddenly it did not -.-
if someone finds a solution, please post it
still no solution so far. Works perfectly fine on Wifi. Its only on 3G network that the notifications don't show up.
Anyway to remove the blur "account" page. I see that if I change sims it forces me to login to the existing blur account. What if I want to completely de-blur the phone? Is that possible? Or not because motorola says so?
Not possible. No way to replace with stock accounts.
I am having many problems with these built in accounts. I was having problems with YouTube until I realized that I needed to login with the actual YouTube credentials and not the gmail ones.
I am now having similar problems with picasa, but as I am new to picasa, I don't know what my other logins would be other than my gmail ones. Basically every time I try to upload multiple photos from the gallery folder on the phone, it returns a message that says "failed to receive login information".

Ok more info on picasa. When I "quick upload" a single photo from the gallery they will go to picasa. Its only when I multi select photots and try to upload that it won't take. It still says "unable to retrieve user info" or something. Another note is that when the upload to picasa screen comes up, its not pulling my albums down from the picasa site, so I can tell right away that something isn't communicating the info.

Try installing Gallery 3D from the market. It's the stock gallery app. Much better.
Figured it all out. I HOPE many people end up finding this thread. I went through a lot to figure this out. The following fix will work for both Picasa and YouTube problems where the error pops up saying that login info could not be retrieved. The problem is that you can not use the same email address for motoblur as you do the rest of the logins. You MUST set your motoblur to another email address when setting the phone up, preferably a non-gmail address. Unfortuantely for those of us who already setup the phone, the only way to change the motoblur email address is to wipe the phone and set everything up again.
I can confirm that this is 100% working. Now... If you don't want to setup the phone from scratch I can show you work arounds.
For YouTube, if you go into the YouTube app, hit menu, go to "my channel" (make sure the phone is not in landscape when you do this) then look at the top right and click logout. Then log back in, instead of putting your gmail address you can enter your YouTube user name and password. This will allow you to upload videos directly from the UI and gallery to YouTube.
A work around for Picasa is to set Picasa as the option in the "quick upload" menu in Gallery. If you go to gallery and click menu, then settings, you can set Picasa as quick upload there. Then whenever you are looking at a photo you can click menu and select quick upload, it will then upload straight to Picasa. The only problem is that you can not select multiple pictures and upload at once to Picasa. You have to do the real fix mentioned above to send multiple pictures to Picasa at once.
I reccommend you all do the real fix while the phone is still new and not that hard to wipe and start over.
Apparently it is possible, NO IDEA how i did it though D:
now when i take sim cards out it doesn't ask for motoblur account. Some reason I also lost all my contacts, don't know if it was because I lost my motoblur account or if it was a coincidence?

Hmm I'm not sure that this is a good thing lol. Try your best to re add the motoblur account, preferably under a different email address. If it works, this will be the best fix.

LOL... dont mean to insult you intelligence or anything but in the accounts screen did you hit the menu button to add a new account? I know I myself over look the simple answers all the time if that doesnt work attempt a factory reset since youve lost everything anyways lol and if all else fails you can always flash SBF to start over.

clicking "add account" just gives me the option to link fb, myspace, twitter, etc. with motoblur, no option to add a motoblur account. And i didnt really lose EVERYTHING, just my contacts, I can just put them back in manually, its coo.

Wipe it and start from scratch using my method posted earlier, just make sure to NOT use a gmail address for the motoblur email.
Let us know how it goes. Good luck.

If you freeze items through TiBU this happens. You can remove the need for MotoBlur that way. But to go non-root there is no way to remove MotoBlur.
Also, I have no issues and I have MotoBlur on same email as everything else.

Boy im glad I read this post. I went and got gallery 3D. Now THAT is a stock app. It makes the moto one look horrible. The zooming is actually smooth.
Are there any other stock apps I should check out that would be better than what I have on the phone right now? Thanks

Like the title says, I received my warranty phone, perm rooted, and the facebook app that come with the phone is constantly syncing, and it doesn't stop. I have to delete the account for the syncing to stop. Anybody else having this issue? My google account, weather, etc sync as usual, its just the facebook for mytouch. Another thing that I realize is that when I go to the syncing options, under facebook, I can only check mark to sync contacts, sync feeds no longer appears.

You can open up the facebook app. Your newsfeed will show up first, press the back arrow. It will take you to the main facebook page. Press the menu button->settings->refresh interval. Change it to how ever long you like or never.
Just delete that junk. Its a battery drainer. It was eating up my girls battery like cazy. Deleted and that's it. Better battery life.
Is your phone rooted? If so have you deleted and stock app named friend stream? I learned that if you delete friend stream that FB keeps syncing, had to replace it to get it to stop.

What I did was extracted it from my current rom's zip (Sense 3.0 By eVil D!!) put it on the root of my SD card then used the app "Root Explorer" to move it to system/app changed permissions and restarted my phone and Im all good. I use root explorer cuz it's easiest IMO even though its a paid app its well worth it. Plus its the only app I know that lest you change permissions.
So to break it down:
Extract the APK from the ROM (7zip is what I use)
Put it on your SD card's ROOT
Use Root Explorer cut it from your SD card
Paste in /system/app
Change permissions to:
Owner X X o
Group X o o
Others X o o
Reboot and you should be fine, worked like a charm for me
Not sure whats going on but it will not see any songs that I uploaded from my PC (2000 songs). There is no button to "sync" the device in either the Music app or in settings/account/gmail. I've installed the app 3 times with the same results. Is there a trick or something? Running GB 2.3.3
Silly question, but did you try a reboot? I have heard that has helped some.

Downloading the app from the market via the phone gave me the problem. I removed the app then from my laptop I pushed the install via the market website and then everything worked. very odd.
Odd indeed

I noticed I have to give it some time to sync after I install it. Also there IS a check box in android accounts settings to enable syncing.
Yup. Enable syncing. I use the power control widget so I only sync when I'm listening to my music.

I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app. To do so: Go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Google music, then select clear data. Once that is finished go back into Google music and you should be able to pull up the menu and select settings. Then just select your gmail account again and it should start syncing almost immediately.

thats exactly what i have to do too. have to do it just about every time i install music beta.
Yea, I'm having issues too. Shouldn't Music come up in Account & Sync in settings? I don't seem to have it listed anymore.
Thanks. Clearing data fixed the problem.
Just for anyone else having a problem, an issue I ran into was everytime I flashed a new nightly for CM7, it counted as a new device being added to my account. Eventually I was maxed out on allowed devices (think it might be 8 but don't remember) and it wouldn't sync new songs for me anymore. I had to clear the devices from the music beta page itself to fix the problem.

That worked for me. I can sync again. Thank you!
I think the Google music app sucks. Thats right, it sucks.
I have tried deleting the app from my phone and my pc, then reloading.
What happens to me is when I reload everything, it syncs the same old songs. I have deleted them from everywhere, changed the folder, deleted the folder and created a new one.....same music.....that doesnt exist any more. When I select the folder to sync, it shows the correct number of songs for the new folder but then syncs a different number.....and music that doesnt even exist on my CPU anymore.
Makes no sense to me.
Also, theres no way to delete or hide a song on my device. I know theres a menu choice to hide unavailable but that doesnt work either.
Severe FAIL on Google. BOOOOOOOOOOOO
I had this problem a lot. After installing Music from the Market place, go into App Management and "Clear Data". When you load Music again, it will have a settings menu now to select your account. Although, I think this issue was fixed on newer GB versions because I didn't have to do it when I fresh installed on .605.
Just another Android glitch
"I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app."
I just crossed over to Android and got the GS2. Figured I'd get one of the flagship devices. I figured Android must be good; it's so popular.
I've never used a phone with so many work-arounds, glitches... needed to download so many programs just for a loud & repeating calendar alarm... stores photos to 10 different folders.
Now I have to clear data for every sync I want to do w/ my clouded music? Why didn't I just get an iPhone? The bigger question is, how is it that Android has repeat customers? Maybe Android buyers are all first-time smartphone users and don't know any better. These types of bugs and glitches common to Android are not standard far on iPhone or even my older Nokia N-Series and BlackBerrys.

Does anyone know what application keeps causing the Galaxy S4 to show a Facebook dialogue in the notification bar that brings you to the browser and says "sign in to sync application"
It basically asking for a sign in to Facebook so Galaxy S4 can have permissions, I already have the Facebook app installed so I dont need this to keep asking me. Is anyone aware of how to stop this from happening?
It might be the app named "sns" - go into setting >more >app manager >all, locate sns, which has a Facebook logo icon, and try disabling.

That was it, good call!
One of the first things I did after Google installed all my apps from my previous phone, I added all of my accounts (Gmail, email, Dropbox, and of course Facebook). Sometime after adding the Facebook account (perhaps after a restart?), I started getting the same prompt. I went through it and signed in once, and realized it seems to be just some attempt by the SGS4 to work more closely with Facebook or something (perhaps a single-sign-on thing?). I removed the account, but then it started bugging me again.
So I went and opened my Facebook app, and then also logged into my Facebook Messenger app. After this, the prompts went away and haven't come back yet. *shrug*

The prompt was separate from the Facebook app, it was related to the application mentioned in the above post called "sns" if you disable this that prompt does not come back!

I apologize to post here as since I am reading on the same issue, I also would like to ask why when i view a picture in a facebook group and then press the back button on my S4, it directs me to my news feed. Shouldn't I be sent back to the group feed? feeling annoyed with this.
Thanks for this. It was driving me crazy
Thanks heaps!! It was annoying me everytime I restarted the phone.
Thanks
