The problem is that touchwiz has integrated facebook and system does not even recognize facebook app and therefore u end up with 2 separated apps that don't work together.
the facebook app from the market works fine, including sync (as of the update today)
go into facebook, settings, sync settings
The facebook app from the market is working fine for me as well, use it all the time, never had an issue with syncing on it yet. Good luck.
The facebook Touchwiz app is from samsung and has nothing to do with the Facebook app from the app store.
What TouchWiz app? You mean the feed widget? Why do you even use that? It's useless to begin with. Try the fb app from the market.

Facebook is integrated in touchwiz and works fine, syncs evens and contacts. Facebook app from market also work fine BUT when u enable sync there I get 2 extra linked contacts for every facebook contact that I already have. So the app and touchwiz don't work together and I had to disable app syncing....even under account you get 2 facebook entries
Just tested and removed integrated account and app sync didn't work correctly. I ended up without pictures, and 2 more Unknown entries. If you disable app sync and enable intergated then things work, but you are stuck with 2 facebook accounts in phone instead of one, and does have to sync updates.....
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!

The fix for me was from "Weudel" at androidforums:
"From your home screen hit menu> settings> accounts & sync hit add account and add your Facebook account there. That should do it."
Maybe this can help you.
the only thing I noticed was that it completely deletes your settings when you first do the update. Once I set it back up I haven't had any issues.
Thanks...got facebook working again but still nothing from the built-in RSS feeds...espn, fox, npr, cnn, health...selected and unselected between restarts and still nothing...have a quite time setup as 11 pm to 6 am where I don't get any feed updates

did a system reset. rss feeds back, but lost data and installed apps. oh well.
Can't get custom feeds to work. Only pre-installed feeds come through...

No Custom or Standard Feeds
Have removed feeds and added them back, but haven't reset the phone as I don't want to spend the countless hours setting everything back up. Anyone having any luck getting the feeds restored?
I only get gmail and facebook...don't use twitter and can't get any rss feeds to work at all.

I can't even get the pre-loaded feeds to work.
I called verizon yesterday and talked to a friendly voice and she didn't even have a continuum to walk me through troubleshooting the problem.
By all accounts, it should be working.
Her final solution was to reset the phone to factory settings. Not what I'm really ready to do just yet.

You get Gmail in the ticker? How?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Setup your gmail account in the email program...not just the gmail app...out should be on page one or two in applications...green and while logo...

Email and Facebook comes in on Ticker but can't subscribe to RSS feeds or cancel RSS feeds and if I've subscribed to a feed PRE or USER added, I don't get anything.
Canceling or subscribing to feeds give error, "Server problem, try again".
Also, I don't get any Twitter notices.
Going to remove account (twitter) and reestablish account to see if I can get Twitter working again.
Totally stuck on the RSS feeds issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: Have reset phone and it worked for couple days, then nothing.
Is there any way to clear user added RSS feeds? I messed up typing in an Address, and now every time it tries to sync I get RSS error on that particular feed.

Its all in the tickers settings, i made the same mistake too so i just deleted it
Hey,
as I realized last week that my facebook events and birthdays are not in sync, i checked the account sync's status, apparently it had failed to sync and still did. Then I deleted my sync account and tried to set it up again. But this failed too:
After entering my login data for a new integrated facebook account, it just reports "Incorrect email address". I am 100% sure this data I used is the same as in a browser.
Using the facebook account delivered with the official facebook app works, but can only sync contacts, not the calendar. Can anyone at least confirm it is no general bug to the samsung delivered account style?
Thanks!

I did, even though this should not change anything (and it didn't).
My issue is with the Samsung distributed version of the facebook sync (which used to work even without a facebook app installed)
I'm having a similar problem with Facebook calendar:
Recently I changed my email address in Facebook, after that I removed my Facebook account on the SGS that contained the old email and created a new one with the new email address. Contacts are syncing fine but in Calender no events from Facebook appear.
Going into Calender settings I can see that it is trying to sync to my old Facebook email.
Is there any way I can get calendar to sync to my new email address?

Hi guys,
I had the same problem when I updated my rom.
You probably need to clear the cache of the phone by using the 3 button combo option of the phone.

That's very strange, normally clearing cache always worked for me... Then I dunno what else to suggest... But keep us posted if you find out the solution to the problem.

Of course I will. Since I have a custom rom (Darky Rom 10.2) I confirmed with a buddies identical phone that it is basically working, so no ( at least totally) rom related issue.
I just hope to avoid my last resort, that is reflashing.
EDIT: Solved it. Never trust those lists of system app's purpose. Apparently one of those 3 is important to register this kind of sync account, not to run it: Dlna, GoogleFeedback, Layar, MtpApplication.
As I cleaned them after setting up the rest of my phone (to make sure everything is still working, with obviously backfired), I never realized that problem, so for people that mess around with their phones, don't forget to check those messy areas (and don't forget them like I did)
Thanks for the help!
Reminders are non syncing properly in app and widget on Android (ok on wev).
Here's my scenario, tested on a phone and a tablet.
Add reminder in app: it shows on Web but not on app and not on widget.
Force sync in app: still nothing on app and nothing on widget.
Add normal event in app: even is added on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder now shows up also on app and on widget.
Delete reminder in app: reminder is deleted from Web but not from app and not from widget.
Delete event in app: event is deleted on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder is also deleted from app and from widget
It seems the problem is a display problem.
For example, if I modify a reminder on app, the changes appear on Web but not on app, still if I click the reminder in app it is opened with the changes made.
Also, if I delete a reminder from app, it is deleted from Web but not from app, yet if I click the reminder on app I get an error "reminder not found. As a proof: if I set a reminder it does not show in app but I get a notification when time comes!!!!!!!
I am having the same problem on Tab S2 8"
On the calendar forum someone us suggesting it's only a Samsung problem.
Anyone else?
Thanks
Please can someone try?
Google keeps on telling it's a Samsung problem.

I'm not asking too much, just try and see if you have the same problem as myself.

Try deleting the apps data and cache in settings. Do the same to google framework
