htc facebook no longer working - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone having a problem getting your facebook to sync? It was working at first but I removed it from the sync menu and re-added it and now all I get is connection errors. Searched on google for it but everybody that is having the problem can't get it back working.
Edit: I've tried reflashing, going back to stock, but I think it has something to do with the app and the facebook server?

Yeah its a problem with HTC they say that they are working on it as we speak but its been a few days now.

ahhhh ok cool, thanks.

Glad I found this thread. I switched back to an espresso rom specifically to get facebook for mytouch back.
Mine connects fine, and mine shows my friend's albums in the gallery, but it shows that I have no friends when I try to link them up in the contacts.
**EDIT: Seems to be working again.

Mine is working again too.

Twitter app from HTC not working

Hi guys. i just notice how the twitter app no longer works on both stock 2.1 roms and all the cooked 2.2 roms such as LeeDroid and i think i know why.
i just got an email stating twitter will now use Oauth to authenticate your credentials so im guessing HTC apps dont use Oauth yet
htc comment on Twitter:
We know that Peep/Friend Stream are not working for some, and we apologize. Please bear with us while our developers are investigating.
its due to twitter now using OAuth
http://androinica.com/2010/08/31/htc-peepfriendstream-down-because-of-oauth/
It's indeed due to Twitter now using OAuth, but come on HTC, Twitter has been announcing this change (for the better) since well before the Desire was even launched!

Ahh yes, its working here as well so twitter make exception OAuth for Peeps?
Thx for you guys to point this.. Google everyday for Peep updates with no hope

If you didn't update, Twitter apparently makes an exception for HTC Peep. Nice for the users, bad in general imo. This cuts HTC too much slack to actually update their apps
Re: Twitter App from HTC not working
Is there somesort of an update that I can download somewhere to make this work? I have been trying for the past few days to make thsi work, and I understand that there are problems.
But how are some people able to get there's working? Can't seem t get an answer from HTC other than that they are working on it.
I had problem as well. But logged into the twitter widget and was able to see the tweets in friend stream again. I did also log into the twitter app to see if it would work but nothing showed in friendsyream just in the app. But try the twitter widget and see how ya go.

HTC/Twitter has fixed the issue on there end, and there is no need for an update. Not sure the specifics, but I had a retweet from a friend this morning from HTC that said everything should be working.. Tried out my Twitter for HTC Sense, and it logged in first try. Havent had anymore issues since.
yes, twitter app is working fine again...
had 3 devices, all made problems, now all are working fine again

More MMS issues on CM6?

I remember reading about people having issues sending MMS's under CM, but that it had been fixed in the newest version. When I tried to send a few pics to people a couple weeks ago, the recipient would receive blank messages.
I haven't tried since then. Tonight, I'm trying to send one, and it's stuck on "sending."
Ideas? Fixes?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm!
Are you getting good coverage where you are? I'm rocking the latest & greatest from cyanogen(6.1.1) & I'm able to send pic's through mms just fine.
No MMS problems on my end.
Yeah, I get great coverage. Hmm, did your MMS work right out of install without setting modification?
EDIT: I did a restart. Still same issue; the message sticks on "Sending... " on both 3G and Wifi.

Just a quick thought - are you apn settings correct? They may have got botched somehow - just go to it, hit menu and click reset to default. See it that helps at all.

I've tried facebook, gmail, twitter, youtube, literally everything that requires mobile data .. everything works cept browser, that's why I rulled out the probability of my mobile internet having issue. It seems that I'm wrong .. D:
anyhow.. should I just wait then ?
It wouldn't hurt to call them up and see if there is a problem on their end that could be causing this. How long has this been going on? It might just be a network problem if this just started.

called em up, the customer care consultant said there was nothing wrong with their service at the moment :/

[Q] Facebook Toubles...

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?
Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol
I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

Facebook notifications

Hi folks,
Got the problem above, used to work fine but the notifications don't show anymore... Already logged out, uninstalled and installed updates, cleared cache and also tried the Blackberry workaround... Still no luck...
Any suggestions or ideas I can get the notifications work?
My girlfriend has got the same phone and hers is working fine..
Please advise

mine stopped too around juli 29th, my guess it's a server side issue, it happened before in the past.

Check that Google Talk connects to the Google Servers - you don't need to use it - but all push notifications will stop if Google Talk cannot connect to the Google Servers.

I removed the permissions on facebook (the website) for sense and deleted all data for all 3 friendstream apps, after a while I got one message, unfortunately it was the last messege I had already recieved. I really believe it's a serverside issue. I have seen this before, also with other 3rd party FB widget....

To rule out a push notification (C2DM) issue - you need another app that uses Push Notifications - like Twitter or something.
Got Twitter and that doesn't give any notifications either...
Do you think factory reset will help? Don't want to go through that do formatting, installing apps etc for nothing..

OK - so try the following:
Open Google Talk - Sign Out. Sign back in.
Check Android Settings > Accounts & Sync to see if there is a problem with the Sync service.
Check Auto Sync is switched on - and try toggling it off and back on.
Reboot the phone.
For info - I am getting Tweets and Facebook notifications fine here - so there is nothing wrong with either service.
Check the links above, you might receive some types of notifications but all, it's a confirmed server side error
Ah well guess I'm gonna need to wait till the next update is out...
What I don't understand how my girlfriends phone (which s exactly the same as mine) is working fine with all notifications

I don't know, really....if you check their bug tacker it could be all sorts of issue where messages made from certain apps don't trigger notifications, there are many different types of notifications, some migh work, some might not. I got using facebook via mobile apps (htc, samsung other 3rd party apps)since 2010 and it just happened a few times before and then after a while it will start working again.
If you want it working use the official facebook app, it usually keeps working until the problems are fixed. If you have cleared the data for friendstream and facebook, removed the right of the friendstream app and started over there is nothing more you can do
I am using the official facebook app (came with the phone) and never used friend stream or tweetdeck..
I have done a factory reset and also disabled friendstream but still no notification... Rage !!

This is crazy because my phone I receive notifications from Facebook app and the twitter app it didn't when I got the phone but I disabled all notifications in app and then enabled them
I started to get them I get message notifications and post notifications not had issue since
So this can't be just down to servers its like the phone is refusing them nothing much else I can suggest lol
