Hi,I discovered two hours ago that my twitter account associated with the HTC Sense wasn't syncing at all,a message about server not responding was displayed.All other accounts like google, facebook,flickr all seem to be ok. So,I decided to remove the twitter account from "Account&Sync" and recreate it with the same username and password but kept getting "invalid username and password" everytime.I signed in via web browser,the loving details were accepted. Does anyone have this same issue?

I can confirm I'm having this EXACT same issue! It's just started happening! Thank goodness I'm not alone, for a second there I thought my phone was f*cked.
Downloaded official Twitter from the marketplace and that's working. Maybe Twitter has decided to block Peep for some reason?
Glad you mentioned this, I've flashed a few roms today and wiped my phone and changed my password - all because I couldn't log into Twitter with HTC Sense and like jedininja666 I thought my phone was broken! I'm getting a bit annoyed now! First the market stops working (download unsuccessful most of the time) and now this...
This is due to twitter changing thier authentication. Peep must used the old auth not the new one.
Read aboout it a few mins ago Twitter - Login Errors Your going to have to wait for HTC to update Peep.

Thanks for the update,I thought I was going nuts when I couldn't retrieve my tweets via peeps. Hope HTC will sort out this issue cos I get most of my tech updates via tweeter.

No problem here, I get twits thru FriendsStream widget and Peep without problem. No login errors. Using NexTSense v7.0.
I freakin' hate the Twitter Dev's for this. I'm sure it will be a while before HTC figures this out.
same problem
everything worked fine till yesterday. I did factory reset and now i am unable to log in to peep. Official client works fine, i can login through opera mobile, mobile web browser. But i want Friend Stream!
I use the official app as Peep is rubbish!!
No comments from HTC's official twitter account about this despite much angst from users.
The changes to the twitter authentication method have been public knowledge for nearly a year now and should have been dealt with before now... after all social integration is a key part of the Sense sales pitch...
The official twitter app is a poor substitute in my eyes...

How is it poor? Peep is a terrible app, HTC should've written the official app into 2.2 and done away with Peep altogether IMO. Having said that, I don't use FriendStream as I prefer to use the individual apps/widgets
+1..so terrible..twitter dev should inform HTC first before they made changes..now we users have to suffer for waiting the update from HTC!!

How is Peep terrible? Well, apart from not support OAuth!
I prefer Peep too - mostly because of the widget. I've installed the official Twitter app now as Peep isn't working, but I still prefer Peep.
I rather like Touiteur too, but you only get the widgets with the paid version, and since Peep is fine for me and free, I'd rather use that.

Would it be correct to assume that you only experience this problem if you remove and readd your account, or if you are setting up a new rom ? Meaning, that until you don't log out, it stays in ???

I found that whilst I could still update Twitter via Peep, I couldn't get any updates, rendering it rather useless.

Around this time last year I was building Twitter integration into a website for client using ASP.NET and even then the Twitter developer site urged using oAuth instead of basic authentication. HTC obviously thought they wouldn't disable basic auth!
Anyone having problems? I was able to sign-in to my email through it.but every time I try to sign in to Facebook or twitter it says wrong email or password but I know it's right

Not to many answers in the thread lol just a bunch of people saying "me too"
I get this same problem but i can log into the actual Facebook app. Weird....
Install the individual facebook and/or twitter app and then you can sync. I think this is to avoid the dual sync I have seen on many other android phones.
It wont even let me log in tho. And I have the regular Facebook app installed
Just wanted to post that I was just able to log into social hub.
So give it a try...

I was too. Thanks for the update!
Yes, I was finally able to login today. Makes me wonder if this was a Facebook and not a samsung issue.
But I could log in to the facebook app and not the social hub.
I think I found the fix for this.
I went into facebook and managed the apps link part.
Removed the previous link with the original epic sync.
Bing bang boom, Social Hub Synced.
Hello
I want to synchronize my facebook contacts with my galaxy nexus contact app. So I go to "add an account" in the contact app, and "facebook", but nothing ... no window for add my acount appear, I return on the before window and I can't add my facebook account.
Have you an idea please ?
Thank's
Google disabled this option with a previous version of android. Other manufacturers such as HTC are allowed to add workarounds though which is why it will still works on their phones. There's several topics on this already. I agree though, it's a pain.

Ive synced my pics with "SyncMyPix" which works ok (not very HD)
Will Google fix this? I mean they still got it in the option menu, doesnt seem like they stoped working on it?!
Oh yeah since Gingerbread on nexus s I think. But it's crazy because Facebook is a choice in "add an account" so ....
So, no alternative ?
I just used FriendCaster instead to sync Facebook with my contacts. It doesn't show their status updates in the People app, but the profile pictures work fine.
Agree
Yeah, I was confused and thought my GN was playing up when I clicked on facebook and nothing happened!
Google trying to force thier crappy google+ circle thing...
Friendcaster worked ok for me as an alternative but unfortunatly it adds ALLLLLL my firends, most of which I never would want to call

It has nothing to do with Google. Facebook refuses to comply with Google's terms for portability of data. Google thinks you should be able to export your friends contact info. Facebook does not allow this.

Hilarious, given that FB doesn't seem to care about its users' privacy or handing out their info in anything else FB does.
But yeah, they're the problem. If you want to see it integrated, complain to Facebook, not Google.
So this issue is directly with the facebook .apk??? or is in the ROM we have in the galaxy Nexus??
I would think the ROM we have, as FaceBook isn't using the new API Google supplied from what I'm reading here.
So, when CM9 came out for our Nexus, with that ROM we should be fine? i think..
We need to find a solution for this, Friendcaster is crap and we should not need to use another app for this, it only consume more ram and battery...

I really don't understand this statement. It's not as if you are entitled for the data to sync. They haven't promised it to sync and it doesn't. Facebook data is Facebook data, if they don't want you to sync it with their app they don't have to.
It hasn't done it on android for a while, and it is hit and miss how well it does it on sense and other work arounds. Facebook can do what Facebook want to do at the end of the day.

Excuse me but, 1 week before i had a Motorola atrix until i lost it, and with the ROM it came i was able to sync all my contacts from Facebook, then i instaled CM7 and again i was able to sync everything from Facebook, this can be fixed to work in ICS or i hope will work in CM9.
Modaco ROM has fixed this, i will try it and i will let you know.
how can i get my contacts to sync with facebook?
try FriendCaster
i dont mind Friendcaster, but are you saying that syncing contacts isnt possible with FB?
Go into the settings of the phone, accounts, add a Facebook account. Doesn't appear you do it through the App itself.
Edited: Well crap, I'm trying to do it through the Accounts in the phone, but when I select Facebook, it doesn't do anything. Hmmmm.

I seem to remember Facebook having a similar issue when the Incredible first came out. There was an update to fix it, so maybe we're looking at a similar situation here?

I just want to confirm that Friendcaster will sync your contacts. Just one BIG problem, you will have a ****load of contacts and you cannot filter out the ones without numbers..
Guys, this is because Facebook wasn't abiding by Google's terms, so they removed the option for syncing facebook contacts. The only viable alternative as of now, is installing Friendcaster.

I remember hearing about this on Cnet's Buzz out loud
This was talked about a while back on Buzz out loud.
At the time Facebook would import from any source but would not export as they didn't want to give that info out.
In other words they were happy to import all your contact data from any other source so they could get ahold of it. But they did not want to return the favor if you wanted to import your contact info from Facebook into the same source you just imported into Facebook from.
This was a while back, so I don't know if this was resolved. Facebook was claiming they were protecting their user's data.
The general feeling was not too good towards facebook on Buzz out loud. Their feeling was the contact data belongs to the person holding the account and they should be able to sync it if they want to.
It is well known that Facebook has bad blood with Google.
Hopefully this situation has changed as this was several months ago. But with Facebook you really never know what they are gonna do.
I see a lot of posts talking about how facebook sync was removed from the core android features.
I think that misses the point.
Facebook sync was a feature in the facebook app in gingerbread (At least, I can confirm this was the case prior to the app update. I'll confess I didn't go looking for it post update).
If it's currently available in gingerbread, I'd expect we'd see it available in ics following an update to fb.
/totally speculating
Carnagey is right. From what I have seen it won't come until that dispute is resolved...

delete the facebook app from your phone first if its on there, because when you sign in through there it doesnt add it on the phones accounts page im assuming
Hey all;
I just got my Galexy Nexus 2 days ago and love it so far. I just have 1 problem so far. I can not get my Facebook to sync with my contacts. I logged into Facebook and it doesn't even give me the option to set up sync. I also tried to go into accounts and add it in there. It will not add. I have cleared the cache and data from the Facebook ap and tried again and it still will not work.
Just wondering if it is even possible to sync my Facebook to my contacts. I am on Verizon running stock, non-rooted, 4.0.2.
Thanks in advance!
OMG PLEASE SEARCH
It doesnt work because Facebook isn't following Google's guidelines for syncing.
Download an app like Haxsync or just deal with it.

Hrmm... is that something recent or just something with the Nexus? Facebook sync worked in my Incredible 2 just fine.
Also, I did search. I didn't find anything related to facebook sync on these forums. I guess I'm just an idiot/blind.
or Friendcaster

Facebook sync has not worked since Gingerbread. Companies who put lame skins on top of Android usually add a work around. I highly doubt you searched, or you really do fail at searching.

Actually facebook sync does work on some custom roms where the devs have edited some sourcefiles to reactivate it (tutorial on which 2 files need to be edited is somewhere in the forum). However, for Stock Roms, your answer is correct.

Thanks! That makes sense. I was using CyanogenMOD 7 on my Incredible 2. They probably edited the files to fix Facebook sync. I guess I will just have to deal with it until Facebook or Google fix it.
well, you could try out Apex 1.0.2 it works there

Google'll never fix this because they don't want this FB sync feature.
The work around here is using a Custom Rom or installing HaxSync, etc.
+1 for HaxSync!
Its true. Google disabled Facebook Sync on android. Instead they try to shove G+ down your throat. You can install hack sync, or Custom ROMS like AOKP. I have it and it works. But I have disabled facebook Sync because I hate searching my contacts and find 300 contacts with email adresses only.
the ICS contact book doesn't allow us to display only records with phone numbers. I think the emphasis on the people instead of phone contact. As a result, the ICS people app is very difficult to use.
It does, however, just allow you to show your Gmail address book so assuming you have contacts on there with numbers and they're linked to FB it'll just show contacts with numbers
If someone isn't on my Gmail contacts I hide them by only showing Gmail contacts - easy!

It doesn't work because GOOGLE dismantled the old social API. The new API is available in Android 4.0.3. Social stream API in Contacts Provider. IF/when your carrier (Verizon, in my case) certifies the update for release is the problem. LinkedIn and Twitter contacts also will not sync because of this problem. It isn't just Facebook. Overall, this is a problem born out of Google looking to own the contacts sync and rid Android of those crapapps that do a piss poor job of synching. But Facebook will need to update the Android app when Android 4.0.3 is certified and released for a commercially available carrier-certified device. At this point. Out-of-the-box social contact synching is a no go on Android ICS except for Google+. How convenient. Otherwise, you'll need an extra app for that social app.

I remember when this facebook issue first happened. I was really more mad at google since they technically broke the sync.
However twitter still syncs just fine with my contacts on stock 4.0.1.

Technically, the onus is still on Facebook and Twitter to update their existing apps for Android 4.0.2 since there is a social API still included. Something didn't translate right with Android 4.0.2 for the current versions of those apps.
