I just noticed today that all my Facebook albums have stopped working. I just get a circle with a diagonal line through it instead of a thumbnail. I have tried logging out using data.services and I have soft reset a few times. don't really want to hard reset yet. it was defiantly working when I first got my HD2.
Anyone had this problem?

Never worked for me either on 1.43 nor 1.48 ROMs.
same problem here!
but worked for me the first few days i had my hd2 (with stockrom 1.43 GER)!
I had the same problem. I found out, that it was caused by a tweak i installed. It was theTouch X LEO turbo.cab when I uninstalled it. the Facebook albums worked again.
Ah, wish I read that early, i just did a hard reset to make it work again lol.
Although saying that, I think alot of the "tweaks" had a negative effect on the phone, now I have my programs re-installed but non of the tweaks, it feels much faster!
I haven't installed that cab so I can't explain why mine has stopped working!
I have found that using the performance Cache tweaks on BSB Tweaks causes this same issue. Of course turning the sliders off and doing a soft reset fixed the problem for me.
Seriously, I recommend just hard reseting and not bothering with half of the tweaks, its seems that most of them have caused bugs and caused the device to slow down for me.
Now its hard reseted, its fast and perfect again.
o wow you guys are right... my facebook album wasn't working.. i uninstalled the LEO turbo cab and all is well again! cheesr
The specific tweak that causes this problem is setting file cache to high. Avoid this and you are golden.

Not to question your statement but I don't quite see a relation between the two.

Not really sure why! I guess it may have something to do with the native size of the images sense is trying to load into memory? Why having a higher file cache would be worse in this scenario I don't know.
Edit: Just noticed that Makeveral has removed the file cache tweak from his latest release of BSB tweaks 1.3
Sweet, turned off performance tweeks and now ok. Cheers
Hi fellow HD2 users.
Sorry kinda OT: Anyone have problems with uploading photos with Microsoft Facebook? My is random, doesn't always work and annoying!!! It uploaded my data, but nothing shows up in my Facebook (Mobile Upload folder)! Waste of my data too!!!
i recently installed Bsb tweaks and found the same thing too, that facebook album stoped working.
Jackuuuuu, I wouldnt bother with the MS app for uploading photos as the HTC album seems to do a fine job, although it would be nice if you could comment on pics from there.
I love the intergraded facebook functionality, specially the photo feature to view them in HTC Album.
Now I can view albums from a lot of users, but from some others I can't.. while in the standalone facebook app, which sucks compared to HTC Album, I can view the albums ok.
Now this could be due to certain facebook account/privacy settings, but I've tried about every setting I can find in facebook but my own albums won't show up in HTC Album.
Am I missing a setting? or is this just a known bug?
I've set the permissions for the albums to "Everyone", as well as the photo application permission settings itself. And the profile share privacy settings for photos is checked (and everything else just to make sure) but still they won't show.. they do show in the standalone facebook app but I would really like them to show up in HTC Album.
Any advice or help is much appreciated!
Had the same issue, apparently it's about the privacy settings of the users. If some of them don't have their picture in your phone, it means that your phone was unable to retrieve it due to some settings they made in their original facebook account

I understand that, but what about my own albums?
Up for this question!
Can you guys see your own albums just fine on HTC album?
It says "The user has no albums to display"
but I know I have albums!

I just had this issue, then realised that I recently changed my facebook password and didnt reflect this in the integrated version. So now, it tells me that I have albums, but the images wont load up...the loading animation just goes around in circles.....
Yes I can see mine no problem at all.

that happend to the albums of the ones that I could see when I had the camera icon disabled in the registry.. if you've also done that, turn it back on..
I am quit new to facebook and the users that I can see albums from are quit long term users.. maybe it takes a while... or it has something to do with new facebook accounts..
Yes with similar problem too. I can see the album names but no pictures can be displayed, HTC Album only shows me a 'forbidden-like' icon. The problem will not occur while the ROM is freshly installed, but will happen after few days.

Try this?
Hope it works for you.
I just got my HD2 from tmobile yesterday. Initially, I was able to view contacts' facebook photos either through the facebook app or directly from their contact page. However, for some reason, I am no longer able to (I either get "Fetching" eternally, when using the app, or "user has no albums to display" when trying through contacts).
Obviously I'm using the factory ROM, I've tried a hard reset (no luck) and have also tried ensuring that the relevant cache is properly set, but my problem remains.
Edit: I also get an error if I attempt to go through Albums to the facebook user.
i have the same issue... one contact i can see the albums the others i don't
Also, my phone info:
ROM: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Manilla: 2.5.20121412.1
Fresh off of a hard reset, first thing I tried was the facebook app, and it hangs on "fetching."
Same here...I have tried different Rom's too and it's the same. I believe it has to do something related to the new facebook privacy settings...possible a setting on each individual profile to block external application from accessing?
mine hangs on 'fetching' also, us hd2.....
it seems implausible that it is a facebook privacy setting: mine works sometimes, and it does not seem to depend on the user either. one time, after a hard reset, i could see one friend's photos, but only for a few hours. then it hung on fetching. I'm using the factory us tmobile rom and trying to view facebook albums immediatly after a hard reset. some user's photos will show (consistently) others will show (but will stop displaying after a short period), and some won't show at all. it is not consistent across users.
is the facebook app simply bad? does it work consistently for anyone? if so, what are.your settings, if you don't mind sharing? i'd really appreciate any help, this seems like too significant a feature to simply not work, i'm hoping that i'm just missing something. thanks
edit: starting a new thread. having re-read the OP's problem, mine (and some of the others') problems do seem substantially different.
I am having the, "i cant see my own photos" problem. Every thing else seems to work fine. I would just like my own pics to load so i can tag them when i upload them
I even tried installing the app to storage card instead of using the cooked in app in the NRG rom. The Tilt 2's we used before didnt have this problem and i just checked my daughters app this morning on her tilt 2 and its working normal. Though mine and my wifes HD2's dont get 3g, we have even tried on WIFI
Tried This?
I experienced a similar problem recently. Heres what I did -
-Downloaded the newest FB app from Windows Marketplace.
-Input user name and password and confirmed it working and could view
albums in the app itself
-Turned off automatic updates, then turned back on
After that, the albums seemed to work and fully load. Essentially what I think happened in my case was I had an older version, downloaded a new one and never reset my FB settings on the HD2 settings tab for data services (so it didnt see me as an allowed user, rather a "guest" FB account trying to view an album). Then I could access HTC Albums and see all the pictures again. Again, may work for you, may not. Just an idea that worked for me.
Definitely worth trying tho.
Good luck, let me know if it helps anyone.
That didnt help me at all. Its random and i had my pics load in the app a couple times, with only place holders, no thumbs, but its after logging out in sense and restarting. Only some times though. Most of the time it just sits there loading forever
I can see all my pics in the albums just fine at all times, and i see all others too. Im just trying to get the app to load them so i can tag if i need to, like the other day when i found out this problem exsists
I figured out a way (a trick) to get my photos to load so i can go in and tag. I setup facebook app to rotate in BSB tweaks and now when i go to my photos in facebook app and it sits there with the animate loading, i just turn my phone and the place holders show up. Good enough! Then flip the phone back and go in and tag the mobile uploads.
Hi guys,
Hitting wall with this S5 since .nomedia file for me doesn't work. I have an app installed in internal memory, which has some pictures in it for its operation. Now this pictures show up in gallery which is really annoying as there are about 30folders(gallery lists as albums..)
I tried full reset gallery + media storage apps, restart phone. Gallery opens, clear first and within couple seconds again full of that crap.... Now is there any solution on this? I don't really want to download apps since troubleshooting when they crash is even bigger pain....

I also have had problems with the stock gallery dsiplaying some .nomedia directories, i use quickpic though and it works flawlessly there, theres even an option in it to hide folders, so its not an issue for me. According to google this is a widespread issue, and suprise suprise a solution i saw was use quickpic.

But that's complete rubbish, what's the point to pay premium for a phone which is not even capable to do basics? I get really annoyed lately with samsung... They keep removing useful features one after another with each new model release.... Instead put loads of rubbish apps which never gets used...
So how does quickpic work then? Surely there should be a way to manually do same ?

Something you can try is force stopping the gallery then clear the cache and data, open it, then repeat a few times till it works. Quickpic works like a gallery lol, just download it yourself and play with it, if you long press a folder theres a menu option to hide it.

Ello!
So, if I delete pictures via the gallery, they DO delete, however after an hour or so, or after a restart, the pictures return. Im on Omega 10 if that helps at all.
The fact they return after a restart makes me think its due to the media scanner, however if that's the case then does that mean the gallery app is not deleting the pictures really?
Cheers for any advise!

To give more information I can confirm I don't have any sync switched on in accounts and don't have or use the picasa app...
If it helps, the pictures are stored on my external SD card.
after you delete all gallery pictures, go to settings - application manager, and find the gallery app. tap it to get to the information screen, then clear cache and clear data.
Then exit out of that and restart the gallery app. that should take care of any "leftovers"

Yeah, ive tried this several times over and it still returns, no idea why.
Hmm, randomly I think I fixed it... Omega comes with two galleries... I should have used the other one :s
I have a strange problem that began sometime in the past 3 days.
I went to post a picture to Instagram and noticed no photos were present under "Gallery". Even after taking a photo within the Instagram app, the new photo didn't show up under "Gallery" in the Instagram app.
I started digging and found out that this problem started within the past 3 days. I could identify this time frame because Google Photos uploaded a photo taken on my phone 3 days ago. Pictures since then have not been found by the Google Photos app. I have already reset the cache and data of the Media Storage system app - it rebuilt the Gallery app's index, but still the problem persists. I've also reinstalled affected apps.
Google Photos sees pictures in other folders outside of "DCIM\Camera", such as downloads and Music. So the issue seems to be related somehow to the DCIM\Camera folder in particular.
List of symptoms:
Cannot access photos from Instagram app, but I can share from Gallery app to Instagram app
Message+ crashes when trying to add media to a text
Cannot access photos in Camera folder from Google Photos
Gallery and Files apps seem to access files normally
Any help would be appreciated! I'm using a Verizon V20, stock OS.
Started having the same issue with my v20. Found a solution yet?
No, I'm sorry. I ended up just backing up my pictures to my computer and factory resetting my phone... I need it working correctly for work.

Yup - so far so good. I have all my apps reinstalled and accounts added...no issues. I really have no idea what happened, but definitely sounds like a V20 issue. Do you have the Verizon version too?
Oh! I just realized that I just installed the new security update the other day. I'm pretty sure it lines up with the problem starting. I bet that's the cause.

Also have a verizon version and just installed the new security update also. Looks like I'll have to look more into my security settings. If I cant find a solution I'll have to just do a factory reset.

I bet the update borked the file system - not sure if there is a setting to fix it. That's a pretty big problem if it happens to everyone though.
Any other suggestion for this? I literally tried everything and I do not want to factory reset my phone. Its very frustrating!
I did the Factory Reset hoping it would be the 'fix'.
It worked for the rest of the day, then failed. I also have other Apps freezing or crashing.
After a lot of effort in a search for the solution, I slowly adopted the repetitive sentence that the phone is nearing the end-of-lifecycle and not enough time was spent making sure the update would work fluidly with all aspects of the phone. I *****ed and moaned for hours and got a nice discount to upgrade to the V40. Two days with the V40 and all is well in my world again.
