Facebook: Malformed JSON - Desire General

Anyone experiencing this error " An error occurred while fetching data. [Malformed JSON]
My Facebook (1.2) was working yesterday.
Check this out deleting links or video links seem to fix the issue.

Same for me and I got same problem on my iPhone, the widgets just ain't working. Same for blackberry I gather. I suspect it's to do with that "facebook privacy Settings exploit" that has been uncovered these past few days. It went off air completley couple of days ago, just hasn't returned for my widget!

Facebook wont load feed

I'm having an issue with Facebook for Android not loading the feed. I get "An error occurred while fetching data [500/Internal Server Error] I've wiped data and rebooted and tried uninstall/reinstall. My coworker has a Moment on Sprint and his is working fine. I also tried Tweetdeck and its working fine. Any help is appreciated.

Which Facebook app are you using? The HTC facebook app that links to your contacts or the Facebook app that you download from the Market? I asked because I was having a problem with the HTC one and I had to remove the account from the settings and resync the HTC app via the contact list.
It's Facebook for Android from the market. I talked to a friend of a friend who has an EVO and he was having the same issue. The widget seems to be updating though.

I'm having the same issue, too. It seems that a number of people are encountering this issue and it only affects the news feed. If you look at your own profile or view your list of friends, Facebook for Android populates as you'd expect.
I've tried clearing cache (the button is always disabled), clearing data, forcing the app to stop, and even uninstalling and then re-installing. Nothing has worked.
I'm inclined to think that this is an issue with FB.
Same issue here. Started happening about 3 days ago. I've uninstalled/reinstalled 2 times with no luck. Happened after i updated ROM to Myn release 4. Coincidence?
I'm still having problems, as are a number of others. I might be mistaken but I don't think it has anything to do with Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS4, to which I upgraded over the weekend. It seems that a number of others, including users of AT&T, Sprint, and VZW, are all having the problem on their "Facebook for Android" apps.
When I have time in a bit, I'll restore an older nandroid of my EVO -- one that is running Warm TwoPointTwo RLS3 -- and see whether my Facebook app is still functioning normal. That would be one way to better determine whether a custom ROM is interfering with the app.
So, I restored my nandroid with Warm TwoPointTwo RLS3, which has always worked flawlessly for me and never interfered with any of my apps. Upon trying to start my "Facebook for Android" app, I was informed that my session had expired and that I needed to log in again. I logged in successfully but was greeted by the familiar message that we've all been seeing: "An error had occurred while fetching data; 500/Internal Server Error."
This leads me to believe that either the app is crap or Facebook is crap. It could be both are crap. In either case, Myn's ROM is not responsible for the problem.
In general, 500 errors are server up by a Web server any time it cannot (or fails to) fulfill a request. It is not a problem with our Android phones.
My "Facebook for Android" app is working tonight: the news feed starting working at some point during the day and I can now read all of my FB friends' statuses. Not sure what changed; FB probably got its act together; the app hasn't updated too recently as my version is still 1.4.1, which was released at the beginning of November.

People/Photo Hub/Facebook sync error - and growing frustration.

I became aware of the issue when I noticed that there were no photos in the People and Photo hubs - just little grey squares. Selecting them took me to a larger grey square then the message "Cant get picture. Try again later" My Facebook and Photo feeds still updated though.
I then went into settings and tried to manually sync Facebook but got error code 800723ff.
A search on the net showed that this was caused by the data connection being dropped, but this is not the case as I was able to sync my email addresses and Facebook updates from my friends were loading.
I removed and re-added the Facebook account at least 5 times. Pulled the battery and the SIM card...all to no avail. I really don't want to reset the phone and have to reload all my apps again. I did that about a month ago because of an error with the Marketplace. If anyone has any ideas or came across this before and knows the solution it would be greatly appreciated.
Another thing... this is something I was able to confirm - at least for my phone - when I deleted and re-entered the Facebook account. The time it takes to load the Facebook content and load a post with comments increases as time goes by. I first noticed this back in January when I got frustrated because it started to take the What's New in the People Hub over a minute to load content. On a whim I deleted the Facebook account, added it back in and lo and behold... loading content in 1 - 2 seconds. Selecting a post by one of the fan pages I follow, such as Yankees or Rangers, that had up to 90 comments loaded everything in about 4 seconds. Prior to this, loading a post with 9o comments was an exercise in frustration. I'm talking almost 2 minutes.
Before this latest error, I felt that things were a bit slow again. Not as slow as in December, but still a bit of a delay. Now, with the Facebook account freshly entered I am again enjoying speedy load times. I just loaded a post with 99+ comments and that took only 3 seconds.
I am worried that this is the norm. That as time goes by, loading content in the People and Photo hub will become progressively sluggish. It reminds me of WinMo 6.1 where I had to do a hard reset every 8-10 months because the system slowed to a crawl.
So, can anyone else confirm my findings? If this is indeed the norm, then this is an issue that MS needs to know about and correct. I guess I can delete/re-enter the Facebook account every couple of months but why should I have to? It's a minor pain in the ass to go through my contacts and relink them everytime I do this.
no such issues on my HD7, maybe you should bring it to service ctr, if the data connection is dropping, it maybe the radio issue...
I have a problem with some pictures of my contacts linked to facebook not wanting to update, none of the other issues though.

I've just signed up to say that I've been having the same problem recently.
I experienced the problem with Facebook photos as well, it lasted for about 3 days. Today it started working again, must have been some bugged update on Facebook side that's gone now.
I just noticed that the "what's new" feed in the Picture Hub suddenly has gone completely empty and just says "no news to share now". Very strange and annoying.
I had the grey squares pictures issue, I turned off the https Facebook Account setting and they came through straight away.
Well I don't use facebook integration in contacts.
I rather use the app for that.... I visit FB maybe 10 minutes a day.
For weeks I had been frustrated because a few of my contacts would not appear in the People hub, nor link to their Facebook counterparts. It turns out there is a Facebook privacy setting that allows a Facebook user to prevent "platforms" from accessing their data. Thus, the Facebook app will show them, but the integrated Facebook support will not even show them as your friend. There is no workaround or solution for this, other than to ask your friends to turn this setting off in their privacy options. I understand this isn't the exact issue the OP is having, but it seems to me this thread is full of Facebook/WP7 interaction information and I thought it may help others who are experiencing the same problem.

Thanks! I completely forgot that I had turned that on. Turned it off and it works again.
I have big issues with the Pictures Hub.
I have not been able to upload any photos to either skydrive nor facebook for days now, and it doesnt even show my pictures from facebook, the only thing I have there is "Camera Roll" and "Saved Pictures".
I get the message "We cant upload pictures at the moment, try again later".
I have two Omnia7's right now, it works just fine on one, not the other.

Hey! I'm running into the same problem as described by the OP and I'd like to try out your solution - I'm just not sure what you mean by the https facebook account setting. Where could I find that?
I currently have secure browsing as disabled when viewing my facebook account in a pc browser through facebook's own website, under account settings > security
No problems like what's described in the OP but I did notice that not as many posts are displayed as before.

Beezz Crashing [2011, Apr 8] RESOLVED. Was a Push issue.

Update (April 8, 2011): I was able to get Beezz working again. This issue had to do with push notifications.
To solve, I deleted these two registry values (and all their respective sub-values):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\ManagedEndpoints
Then I logged out of my account in Beezz, logged back in, and viola.
This fixed all my Live Tile issues, not just Beezz.
Original Post (April 6, 2011): Has anyone been experiencing a lot of crashes using Beezz today and yesterday? I'm not sure if it's because it can't handle something going on with Twitter, or if it's just a unique issue to me. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. but when I open it, half the time for the past couple days it crashes and just exits. Anyone have the same experience? Have you found a way to fix it?
Same thing happened to me all of yesterday, so I finally went ahead with Birdsong. TBH I'm now wondering why I didn't do so a long time ago. While the Beezz notifications are nice they don't work half the time anyway and Birdsong more than makes up for it in speed and flow.
Me too. I cant login.
Sent from my T8698 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Logged in just fine, but a message appears "Twitter connection problem" at the top of the screen.
Even though the message is there, I'm logged in and it seems to work fine.
My push notifications dont work on Beezz anymore. It works again if I uinstall it and reinstall, but only for about a day.
I would guess it has everything to do with the twitter crashes. Sometimes I can get moTweets to download my timeline, other times, it errors.

[Q] MOTO 360 Can't Connect to Google

I just received my MOTO 360 today and it has been able to send text messages then suddenly when dictating a text in Google Now on the watch it says that it "Can't Connect to Google at the Moment."
I have the newest software update (KGW42 R 4.4W.1) on the watch and I have done multiple factory resets to no avail. I have also switched the phone from Hello SMS to Google Hangouts and that has not helped.
It appears to involve any Google Now command like reminders. However, I can search the web fine.
I am running a Nexus 5 Unlocked with 4.4.4.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to get this resolved.
I'm having the exact same issue... and I just bought my Moto360 today as well. I got it to work for a few minutes then it disapeared again. Would not suprise me if this is an outage on google's side.... at least I hope it is. If I try any google voice action it opens a seach of that term instead of the action, so I have searched for "set an alarm for 9am" about a hundred times.

Yes. Any time I use a voice action to, let's say set a reminder, I get the same error message. Just as the text message. I do hope this is a problem on Google's side. Web searches appear to be working fine as you said.
Yes I am having the same issue. I got the watch yesterday night played with it till battery died. Then i charged it fully, and played with it and used it at work today. I used google commands like "remind me ..." and "set timer for ..." about 16 hours ago with no problem. Now all of a sudden for the past 7 hours I always goes to google search when i make those same commands. It is very frustrating however i am happy i am not the only one experiencing this.
Just wiped my 360 and paired it with my Nexus 5 instead of my MotoX, same exact issue. Anyone who has had one of these things for more then 12 hours had this issue tonight?
It's a problem with the Wear app that was updated by Google today. I'm sure they'll have another update that fixes what they broke by tomorrow.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue... It's been driving me crazy I've been trying everything to fix it!
I was in tears thinking i got a lemon
Im glad im not the only one.. The 360 was launched here in India and i was quick to go and order before it went out of stock. I turned it on, charged it and updated it. Was trying all the voice commands and all it kept doing was a google search.. Hopefully an update will come soon enough.:fingers-crossed:
I've had my 360 for over week with no issues giving voice commands (e.g. remind me to xxxx) however just this morning, I am having the same problems as described. The weird thing is, my android wear app hasn't been updated (I've checked the version number) so that can't be the cause.
This leads me to believe its a server side issue.... hopefully...
This morning it seemed like the issue may have been resolved, not sure if anyone else can report the same.
^^^ I can report the same. The issues seem to be worked out. I will make not and post if i run into any other issues while i check it now.
Moto X pure here. Wasn't having this issue and now it suddenly popped up

Same thing just started happening to me tonight.
I turned my tab off last night, charged it, turned it on about 30 minutes ago, and started getting that message. Happens every 4.5 seconds. I cant get anything done. I cant get to messages via the App Manager to stop it, either. Lookout Premium says my tab is good to go. I've never used Messaging on this tab before so I have no idea what the deal is all of a sudden.
Device is a two month old unrooted SM-P607T running stock 4.4.2.
Mine has done 2 different times. The first time I rebooted and then went into app manager and cleared the cache and force closed it. The second time which was just the other day, I did the reverse of it. I went through the settings via the pull down and getting to it that way. Yes, my tablet is rooted so it happens on unrooted and rooted tablets. If you can't get into settings to clear the cache and force stop it, then I don't know how else to help but you can try it the ways I did it.
Figured it out, for me at least.
I opened messages and found an unread text from some random email address. It took me a few tries to click the message to be able to read it, what with Messaging stopping every 4.5 seconds exactly, but once the message was read, the error stopped happening.
Now that I can get into the App Manager, when I click on Messages, my only option is to stop it. No cache to be cleared, apparently.

Come to think of it, the last time mine did it, I had a text from some email address I didn't know. Looked like a spam text message. Probably some scam going around. I marked it as a spam message and deleted it. So beware of texts coming from email addresses instead of actual numbers.
