My phone is synced with my facebook account but ever since I updated to 2.2 from ATT, if I try to update my status from My Contact Card or upload a picture via Facebook for HTC Sense, it doesn't work. Is there something I can do to fix it? Can anybody help me out?

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
i recently purchased a htc wildfire and syncd my facebook account with htc sence. Initially it worked like a charm adding facebook information and pics of all my phone contacts. But later when i changed my facebook password on the site, and created a new account on facebook for htc sence on my phone as i had to modify its password, the account was created successfully and it also updates evrything. But now i dont have any of my facebook contacts or contact information and pictures of my phone contacts that were synced with facebook. All the remaining features like Friendstream work perfectly and show all the updates. Please help.

I have the exact same problem.
However it appears its a common bug in the HTC Sense Facebook for Android 2.1.
I am going to contact HTC by mail to see what's up.
plz do tell me if you get any solutn for the problem...u can post it here or email me on [email protected]
I have not yet gotten a response from HTC.
I googled for some longer time.
Apparently, Facebook broke something and they are trying to fix it.
I am afraid the only thing is to wait.

Hi,
Upgraded to the new version of Froyo 'Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6) ' and when I go to add account, I choose Facebook, and after a slight pause, returns to the General synch settings page, but no Facebook.
Worked fine on previous release of 2.1.
I downloaded Facebook from Market.
Any advice would be appreciated, possibly I have the wrong version for the phone??
Same here,
Could this be because of a 'non-existing' link between the sync settings and the facebook app?
(Maybe because of some recent facebook app update?)
The facebook app itself works by the way, (notifications, widget, app etc) But it would be nice to sync contacts etc as well (A)
It doesn't work in mine either. (UK O2 Streak with official 2.1 update.)
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon as I liked how it automatically downloaded a profile picture for every contact in my phone.
A little reading may have a clue...
Althought I cannot confirm, it appears there's 2 versions fo facebook available for us.
Facebook for Android or HTC Facebook for Sense. I recon I must have had HTC Facebook before which does synch the contacts..
Anyone confirm this??? Anywhere to download and test HTC Facebook for Sense??
Facebook Contact Sync
Hi Guys,
I'm now in XDANDROID FRX04 with the latest facebook from the market and have the same problem, facebook does not sync the contacts.
Does someone make it work?
Does someone have a working apk of HTCFacebook?
Does not work for me either with XDAndroid FRX04 or Froyo X Red.
Right now i am using: SyncMyPix to sync Facebook contacts on my phone until this problem is resolved.
If the problem is between facebook app and phone contacts, perhaps it's because google blocked that feature. If it's between the app and facebook, no idea, it works for me.
Edit: NVM, I see what's the problem and dunno why
Keep it in the related thread
Excess threads muck up the forum.
I'm using one of the Rogers-based ROM 2.1 with HTC Sense UI but on non of them I cannot sync my google contacts with facebook profiles (by Facebook for HTC Sense of course). I still get com.htc.bgp error which I googled but I couldn't find anything that would help me. Becasue I cannot get help form anywhere I'm asking here
Facts:
-clearing data of gmail, calendar and it's storage does nothing
-I've logged to another gmail account with imported same contacts - didn't help
-I've changed name on my fb account (even I'm not Irish and I dont have *'* in name)
-I deleted HTC Sense from facebook - did nothing
-Logging on my Magic to my girlfriend's facebook account and it works - I can link google contact with fb contact....
-When I flashed good old CursorSense ROM (1.5 with Sesne UI) I also could link contacts even with my own fb account
-This error started appearing to me on Smoki 8.x and never had it before.
-FriendStream is working good.
I did almost everything and I was looking everywhere for a solution but I didn't get it. Any ideas? I would really appreceate for help, thanks!
Please help, maybe someone spotted the problem like mine...
am getting similar problem. did anyone ever find the solution to this?

I've got the same problem...
My account doesn't work but my sister's account is fine syncing...
I already found the source of the problem.
It is explained in this link: blogs.msdn.com/b/asklar/archive/2010/10/18/the-process-com-htc-bgp-has-stopped-unexpectedly.aspx
I can't figure how to solve this...
I am currently on cm7 rc3 and before I downloaded this I had all my contacts linked to facebook but now when I go to my contacts it shows notes next to there name something like <htc data><facebook>id and alot of numbers. I have tried photo unlocker even dialer one but still does not give me the option to link contacts I also do have the facebook app. In my phone and did the sync setting with facebook and still nothing. When I used photo unlocker it did unlock about 3 contacts pics and facebook info. I just liked seeing all my facebook pics in phone book has anyone else ran into this problem and been able to fix it.
Google stopped the Facebook link in 2.3.3
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Not sure how well this would work being CM7 doesn't have HTC Sence but you could try installing the "Facebook for mytouch 1.0" apk thats in the stock T-Mo ROM i know thats the APP for stock that updates the linked contacts. Just make your you backup your everything in case it screw up your rom
Thanks a lot but I downloaded Easy sync and it worked great for syncing my facebook contact's it's a paid app but it was well worth it.
