"Cannot retrieve the notifications. Please try again later. (Connection reset by peer)"
When I open up my Facebook app, whether I'm using the latest version or an earlier version, I can't grab my notifications. Not even talking about push notifications. No notifications whatseoever. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Michael
This seems to be happening on most android phones with the facebook app, but usually only while using it with mobile data, on wifi it works just fine. I think this is an issue with the app itself and nothing to do with the phone. You can try instead to use the app flow for facebook, it works better than the official app.
Thanks for your quick response bro.
Yeah that's kindof what I'd been guessing. When you say app flow, do you mean the HTC friend stream, or an actual app called app flow?
Thanks
Haha my bad, guess that's kinda unclear. There's an app in the market called "Flow for Facebook", it's a fair bit more useful than facebook's official app.
Ok thanks for the advice man, i'll give it a try!
Yeah I have been having the same problem, Facebook needs to fix this asap, its a huge problem if its affecting some many phones. You would think they would have noticed and fixed it by now....
My guess would be that they already have an update almost ready, and are waiting to fix this bug until they release the update (which should be sometime soon). Hopefully this is something we can look forward to.
Update confirmed, now at least notifications work over both wifi and 3g. Still think push notifications are broken.
try go at the facebook app setting tick everything except the phone LED
It works for me^^

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.
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 ?
Facebook update 1.5 just rolled out, and added chat and push notifcations. However, mine do not seem to be working.
If I heard correctly, froyo isn't supported, since its only 2.2+ that has cloud APK support. Not 100% sure though.
I am currently running CM6.1 on my Dinc, which is based on 2.2.1, so I'm wondering why this isn't working.

1. not working.
2. If its REAL PUSH, why do we see Time Interval settings ?

Other people have said that it is working for things like comments and messages, and I've even seen a few people with push working on evo and inc, so I'm confused why it seems so hit or miss with people's updates.
EDIT: Ok, yeah, push is working for chat. Hrumph. If that's all they added, this is pretty stupid.

+1, the whole app actually needs a good rewrite!
Push is working for comments, messages, chat on my DInc, so it must be hit or miss
Ya I got push working for everything, time interval settings has nothing to do with it. I've been getting replies wall posts everything instantly in the form of a notification and its really nice and usefull

it's working for me but killing my battery at the same time. I had it on to refresh everyhour apparently and Facebook has been running in the background for over 3 hours which keeps my phone awake.

Well, then it's looking like maybe its a CM6.1 specific thing, huh.. lame. :/
My Dinc, stock 2.2, is receiving some things via instant push and other things at the interval update. It's stupid because if it would just push everything, I could turn the email updates off but I can't figure out what is consistently pushing yet.

Nope. I'm running Redemptive Rev. 2.1.3 and all i'm getting for push noti's is chat. And one message, but ive had MANY facebook notifications since updating, and none of them have pushed to my phone. The dev's for FB for android need to redo that entire app, imo. Compared to iphone's fb app, its a joke.

ditto.....
I was getting notifications for everything: comments, messages, wall posts, chat, etc...that is until I rooted.
Same. On Cyan nightly 184. I'll get no notifications pushed, sign on via pc, and see 3 IM comversations. Irritating.
No notifications here either. It seems like chat rapes my battery too.
Facebook is wrecking my battery. There was no issue before I actually launched the application, but ever since, it's been keeping my phone awake.
My phone's been unplugged for 6 hours, running 36.1% of that, with the screen on for 6.4% of that. That's about 2 hours awake, and almost a half hour of screen time. According to spare parts, facebook has kept the phjone awake like 6 times as long as the next offender, Android system. The rest of the apps on the list are little slivers.
This is with Facebook Notifications turned off in settings, and I'm like 75% sure I had signed out of chat.
I hadn't changed the default number of backups in Titanium, so I only have one backup of Facebook, which is from like the day after the update came out. Can I just uninstall it? Or will **** hit the fan?
Actually anybody know where I can find an APK for the last update of facebook? That worked fine. If I uninstall updates and then install that APK over the version that came on my phone it should be fine. I froze it for now in Titanium.
EDIT: I was able to downgrade back to facebook 1.4. Go either the Market or Application Settings, go to facebook, and uninstall the updates. Then install this over the version taht came with your phone: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1288808520_Facebook_for_Android_1.4.0.apk
I've been having the same problem. some days my battery is fine and other time Facebook suck it dry. if I'm signed out of chat too.. i dont get it

I also am having no luck with any type of push on my DINC not even the chat is working for me and the battery life sucks like everyone else says. Everyone needs to email the devs and give them a ear full!

What version of MIUI? I'm running 12.11.1 and I am only getting chat notifications. When I was running Uber DesireZ I would get notifications for everything.
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.
ALL,
1) Using facebook app 1.6 you get notifications on the status bar. Clicking on the notification normally would display the facebook app messages. ISSUE: NOW DO EXACTLY NOTHING (Im not referring to chat messages that sometime are visualized sometime aren't)... I had to install GO CHAT do solve in part the issue.
2) Using other apps like BADOO or GO Chat I want that the stay in the background. After some time they are closed WHY? I suppose they are realized to run in the background....
Ok, let me know if you are experiencing similar issues...

I uninstalled the facebook app and reinstalled it from the market and this helped matters as mine was constantly flickering when updating my news feed

1) same here, worked in 1.5.x and since 1.6 it does nothing when I click on the FB notification. What's also broken is the Notification inside the app. It used to show all the updates but now there are like 2 updates from 4 days ago, no newer then that (!! keep in mind that I don't mean the posts itself, they are updating fine, but I'm talking about the notifications inside FB (main window, at the bottom of the screen) that somebody liked something ot that somebody posted something, where you could click and would be directed to the post/action that you were notified about !!).
if you experience problems try 1.5.4 waiting for the next 1.6.1 or something... EDIT: NOW SEEMS TO WORK WITH 1.5.4...
GET FACEBOOK 1.5.4
