Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
The stock Android Facebook widget doesn't seem to be syncing correctly on the widget face. I can got into the app and get all the recent status updates but on the widget it self "up to date" status is like 3 days old.
Any one know of a fix or is it the facebook app its self.
I am running cm7 nightly 14 with newest gapps 307.
Thanks for any answers and wondering how many of you this is effecting as well.
Same here! I'm running a Sense ROM. Sometimes it works right then all of the sudden I'm looking at dude's ugly mug from last Wednesday. I was beginning to think maybe it didn't compile correctly after i modded. Glad to see I'm not alone!
Yea same here... caused me to stop using the widget. I don't have a fix for it myself... but I think it will be taken care of eventually.
I did more research outside of XDA and it look like its a problem within facebook and not Android or Roms.

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.
Hey guys,
I waited a few days to post this to see if the problem would resolve and it has not. I searched here before posting and did not see it, so not trying to post a known problem
I use fancy widget (htc sense like clock and weather) and Beautiful Widgets. The weather has been stuck and is not working on either for a few days now. On the market under the comments for Beautiful widgets there are a ton of people complaining about the weather not working and some comments are saying it is due to google weather and not the app itself. I tend to believe that because fancy widget weather is not working either, while Weatherbug does not use google weather (i think) and its working fine.
I know many people use Beautiful Widgets here, so Im just wondering if Everyone is having the same problem and is it due to Google, not the app, as some have suggested?
If so, do we just wait? If not, is there anything I can do to fix it on my end?
thanks,
Im sure this is known, but did a search and did not come up with anything under Vibrant General or Vibrant Apps and themes Sections
anyone?

I had the smae problem with Beautiful Widgets so I emailed the developer. Amazingly I got a response by the next day (tuesday) saying just what you said. He also said that he was working on a fix by using a different weather service and that it should only be a couple of days. Mine was stuck on 80 degrees but now its 79. Take that global warming...

Hey guys,
I've been having a minor problem with my phone lately; widgets stop working randomly. This happens from time to time but lately its starting to happen a lot more often and its getting really annoying. I only have four widgets running on my screen and yet my phone still manages to screw up lol. I have Beautiful widgets, Gauge Battery widget, Xperia Flashlight and Google Search. I'm on an older version cuz I can't be bothered to root my phone again, my current version is R2BA023. I've searched the whole forum for the same type of problem but couldn't find any. When it stops working, the widgets would still be on display but it won't change anything. Like for example the digital clock from Beautiful widgets would just display the time before it stops working, same with Gauge battery. It's annoying cuz sometimes I don't realize the time until I double check it with a watch or something. Does anyone have the same problem? can anyone help? Thanks in advance
I feel quite daft saying it cos I'm sure you have checked it.... you've not got a task killer running? If you have received an update on it your ignore list may have changed.
Junk, are you using adw? Xperia flashlight widget dies every time I restart my phone with adw. I have to remove and re-add for it to work again.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
@suzed: Nope, I don't use any task killer whatsoever cuz I don't think it does anything. I've tested my phone and when I had ATK, my battery drains a little faster. And it screws with a lot of my apps as well
@AdamUpNorth: Yes, I'm using ADW Launcher but my Xperia Flashlight works fine. I think I had the same problem when I had Advance Task Killer but when I uninstalled it, the widget works fine. But lately my ADW crashes often though, I don't know why either I still can't figure out why my widget stops working randomly. Maybe I'll try and switch to a different launcher...
Make sure you have the newest version of ADW, mine kept crashing a lot before I updated.
Same with Beautiful Widgets. I use Weather and Toggle Widget, and the clock used to stop all the time, but with the latest update, it seems to be running fine.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that ADW Launcher doesn't update itself automatically or it's just me. But I've tried updating it to the latest version, I was on 0.8.9 and I assume that was a while back ago. I'm having no problems since the update so I hope that fixed it. Thanks for the help guys

There are no applications that update automatically. They require manual updates through the Android Market. Android 2.2 makes it a little faster to update, but that's about all.

You only get the notification that updates are available if you downloaded the app from the market. If you installed from SD card, it won't show up.
I tend to check in my Downloads section on the Market couple of times a week anyway and quite often there are updates available. I don't always seem to get the little icon in the notifications bar to say this tho.
First I'd like to let everyone know that for Froyo a gmail update is in the market. For those that have installed it does your reply button stick to the top as you scroll down through a msg? mine doesn't.
There is a reply bottom stuck at the very top. Does it follow you as you scroll down? No.
What I want to know is does this fix the syncing issue in secondary accounts?

The reason I think it should is this quote from the gmail blog
"As you scroll through a conversation, your most important message actions will now stick to the top of the screen, one click away, no matter how long the email is."
weird huh.

It does not fix the syncing issues.
My 'reply toolbar' does NOT follow down the screen as I scroll. The unofficial version that I used to have did this. I'm not a happy camper.
Mine doesn't follow down the screen either.
I think those of us who had the unofficial version might be the ones now having problems :-\ Mine has force closed thrice already
I uninstalled the unofficial version before I installed the market one, not sure if that makes a difference. Floating bar is definitely not floating though.
you were smarter then me It keeps force closing on me now. I uninstalled the new update then power cycled and reinstalled. we'll see if that works.
Well, don't know about your force closes... but it looks like the floating bar not floating is a known issue with google. So it has nothing to do with us having the unofficial version. Whew.
"Update 9/21/10 12:13pm Pacific time: There is a known issue with important actions not sticking to the top of the screen on HTC phones running Anrdoid 2.2, like the EVO 4G and
the Droid Incredible. We are working to address this."
hopefully the update that fixes the floating issue fixes the rest of me although it hasn't FCed on me since i rejiggered the whole thing. can you post a link to where you found that?
Sure thing

Thanks! hope google and htc jump on it.
update: different version.
I got the TW update this morning, and with it came a new calendar app. I don't like it. I think the stock HC 3.1 calendar app was much nicer. Any way to get it back?
I saw a lot of people getting hyped for this update, but honestly I'm not sure I like it much at all. The replacement for the taskbar popup, where you can see your wifi network, settings button, etc, isn't all that great. It's too big, and I can't click on the wifi network name anymore which would jump me right to the wifi part of settings. Annoying.
I'd be happy with getting the old calendar app back, and short of that would be interested in rolling back to the previous version if possible.
I totally agree. I hate the new calendar app and desperately want to switch back to the old version. I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Also, the color change of the bottom menu bar from black to gray is really bothering me for some reason.
That's what you guys get I saw all this bull**** from reviews on youtube and I decided not to update
I like the new calendar app just fine. To each his own I guess.
I agree. The skinned apps stink overall. The samsung apps social hub and photo editor are pretty good. I might just flash back.
The stock google calendar is hw accelerated. You can tell Samsung did not use hw acceleration for their calendar. Its not as smooth when you scroll around. Disappointing.
been searching whole xda and found 2 links to the stock honeycomb.apk from the NOOK section. but these are for honeycomb 3.0, didnt try it yet.
any dev who has the stock calendar.apk for honeycomb 3.1?
seems more users are having problems with getting the stock calender back while having touchwiz UX.
Bumpity bump bump bump bumpy bump....
Isn't there a way to download this apk from Google directly? Dump from a Xoom rom?
I've even *****ed at @SamsungSupport for the poor Calendar implementation. The TW "improvement" is about as worthless as keeping your calendar on a napkin.
