When I'm trying to sync with facebook (via people>online directories>facebook) I get a connection error always. Facebook application works great. Also SyncMyPix didn't work(got: API Maybe Unavailable).
I know it's an old problem, but i didn't find the answer on any forum. I'm using stock froyo (Rooted).
I tried filling all missing information in facebook account (like city....) still not working.
I found that when i added the account in Accounts & Sync, i always get "The service is currently unavailable. do you want to try again" for the first time. Then when i press OK , i got connection error when syncing contact.
Anyone Can help me please. Untill now i don't what to do .

I have the exact same problem, I would appreciate a solution
i know this doesn't fix your problem but just to confirm I have no issues on my TP2 so it must be a connection config problem.
Have you gone to settings>connections>connections>advanced and selected the proper networks?

Thanks but i have no conection issue I have push mail working fine and RSS hub also updating. i tried over wifi 3g gprs everythingworks exept facebook
Same problem here.
Mail, rss, weather, browser work. Facebook app doesn't.
Using a Dutch ROM
i have noticed it has not downloaded the images of all my friends... now irrespective of the fact that it updates status msgs, photos are not downloaded for all.... it pulls some photos of friends down at times.... any way i can sync all the photos too?
ok... let me just answer my own question...
simply delink any one contact and re click link the contact with FB.... this brings the link profiles page up... wait there for sometime till the application downloads all the photos.... that's it... u r done!

I am having the same problem. Got my TP2 today and can't get the Facebook Application or Microsoft MyPhone to communicate. I have the network connections all set correctly and everything preinstalled works fine.
Did someone mention you should untick the proxy server setting??
Anyone find a solution to this yet??? I'm having the same problem.. Thanks!
Don't know if it is a coincidence but after I removed/disabled my facebook login data from Skyfire I didn't get a connection error anymore. I granted Skyfire to be logged in even after closing it and maybe then facebook is locked for other apps.
Solution
I found a solution for my problem with the facebook-connection. It seems the application can't handle my password. It contains the folowing symbols: "?&".
I changed my facebook password to letters & numbers only and now it works.
I found another problem. I have tried this a few times and even did a hard reset to my device.
The facebook Update and Events function crashes Manila.exe everytime if you have 63 contacts linked to facebook contacts. It won't crash it if you have 62 or 64 links but only 63.
To replicate this, all you need to do is:
1. Have 63 contacts linked to facebook profiles.
2. Click update now from People->All People->3rd Tab(person with a clock)->Menu->Update Now.
It will tries to update but it will fail and crash. I had to delete one of my links so it won't crash anymore. More over, I added more links to test if it can't handle more than 62 links but it can.
Really don't understand why it can't handle the number 63. It really pisses me off now that I have to remove a link or I have to find a friend that I can link to on facebook.
Anyway, I thought I will share this with you guys, just in case yours crashes because you have 63 links.
"Facebook Login failed"-Problem solved.
You have to change your Facebook login password to a easier one. It's seems to be a problem, if you use special chars. +:%>)*/+=^ etc. in your password.
Just a question about this: does anybody knows if the application erases existing picstures with the facebook ones ?
I have pics for soem of my friends who are also on facebook and want to keep the oens I have at the moment on my outlook... And dont anna run the risk of running the sync and losing them
Does the app propose to keep the existing ones selectively ?
Hi
I hadn't had any pictures in my Outlook contacts, but the HTC Facebookapp replaced my Windows Live contact images in my adressbook.
I had to do a wipe of the phone ealier, and i've set up my facebook account as usual, But for the life of me when I click contacts and then where I should be able to link them, I press facebook and it asks me to search, it sees nothing, I have logged out and back in, Tried manually syncing the facebook account and nothing
Help?
Stock Sense Rom, Not rooted.
Me Too
I updated my rom and now cant sync my Facebook contacts. I can use the stand alone facebook app without any problems, but it will not let me add the facebook account to my phone, everytime i try it says "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"
So I cant use any of the build in facebook stuff like friendstream or contact sync updates.
This sucks, bigtime, hope froyo upto will fix this.
I never had any problems with it ever untill today when I had tk wipe do to free space errors
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yes, I'm Facing the same thing as well !!
I am starting to think its more of a fb issue rather than the device...
anyone else can confirm? any official statement by HTC? and by when will it be fixed?
Cheers
Jackie
I have EXACTLY the same issue - I flashed a new ROM yesterday (unbranded stock) and facebook doesn't show a single contact... Any ideas?
I was talkink with the german HTC Support.
They told me to hardreset my desire (again) and try to just setup WiFi and "Facebook for HTC Sensse"
After the sync i did not have any Facebookcontact in "Contacts" (need to make them visible: contacts --> Menu -> Show --> Facebook (0))
That (0) indicates that the contacts are not synced.
In addition when I manually sync "Facebook for HTC Sense", the live-feed takes a couple of seconds, Contacts takes less than 1 second.
i use the official, nonrooted htc "2.1-update1" rom (1.21.405 CL174215 release-keys)
Any better Idea?
One observation:
When I go
People -> Online directories -> Facebook -> Menu -> Refresh
I get a "connection error" instead of a successful sync - now if I would only know why!
I just tried that and i got xonnectiln error, intrestingly when i updated my profile it worked... but still not friends

Same here
If I then go to Menu --> Own profile I do see my profile
If I to there to "Refresh" it comes (translated from German) "We are Sorry. the Application Faebook for HTC Sense (Prozess com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) was closed unexpected. Retry again.
HTC was answering. They sent me a manual how to reinstall HTC Sync...

I can confirm that - profile and wall works - sync contacts doesn't.
I have the same problem since yesterday.
So it's because of Facebook?
Hmmm..
I'm having the same problem.
I had to unroot my Desire as it would not let me upgrade to official 1.21 (Danish rom) and after unrooting and updating, facebook friends cannot be read or sync'ed.
Friendsstream and everything else is working perfectly, just not linking and facebook contacts.
I too get the Connection Error upon trying...
I think it is a FB issue - darned!
I was again talking to HTC Support and giving all Hints.
We also tried via Settings, Apps, Manage Apps, FB for HTC Sense --> Delete temp files
It went now to 3.levelsupport.
...and?

I don't see how it would work, HTC Sync has nothing to do with Facebook contacts...
No, of course it did not work. HTC Sync is to sync from Outlook to Desire (or whatever)
Seems as they have same problem with Legend
Hi, I got the same problem since yesterday. I tried to unlink the facebook sense and re-link it in order to update my friends' profile pic in my contact. I can't even sync with my PC (HTC sync) now. Friend stream also not work. Please help~~

Its not the same problem - Friendsstream, HTC Sync and everything BUT Facebook Friends syncronization seems fine...
This is still going on? I havent been able to sync my FB contacts for a few days.. it says " Service is unavailable would you like to try again?"
I recently updated my phone to Froyo, but then I found out it wasn't synchronizing the contacts to my Exchange anymore. Mail and the calendar sync fine, but with the contacts I get an error telling me it couldn't connect to the server.
When I remove the account and recreate it, it works fine. But when I work (link to Google, edit, etc.) some accounts, the error appears again. I can't tell exactly what causes this, but I found out that when I recreate the Exchange-account, don't change anything or don't sync to Google everything works fine.
But yesterday I started syncing to Google again and now the error is back.
Does anyone know what could be the cause of this error? I already read that it could have something to do with SSL-certificates, but since it's working for mail and the calendar, I guess it's something else.
And could anyone explain how to enable the logging? I found this on the Internet: "To start Email debug logging, go to the Account screen in the Email application and type "debug" (bring up the soft keyboard, if necessary)."
But I wasn't able to get the debug-screen. Could someone explain the step above in more detail please?
I have just realised that My contacts are not syncing either since the update. I do sync also with gmail but exchange is where all my business contacts are.
If anyone else has this or finds what needs to be done to resolve it, that would be great.
ok, when i typed the title i got 5 similar threads. but i'd like to post my own.
when i go to contacts>online directories> facebook> menu> refresh
i get a connnection error, and i get no contacts synced whatsoever.
however, i tried on some different internet connection and it worked.
it happened that i work for my own ISP, so i went to their servers and disabled the cache server. (my phone was reset after i RUU to stock).
once the cache server was disabled, i managed to sync all contacts.
i'm looking for an explanation, comment, anything...
thank you.
Install SyncMyPix from the Market ! Effective and simple
Hello
I have a problem with downloading e-mails to my rhodium. I use stock rom 6.1 (manila 2.1). This is really strange becouse if i create other account in phone (for example hotmail) it works good. Even when i turn off wifi and download e-mails by 3G from my gmail - it works good! But if i try to download e-mails from gmail by wifi then i see "Cannot connect to the incoming mail server. Be certain your login information is correct and then try again". My wifi works good at this time, i tried weather app, youtube, opera browser and everything is good. So what can be the problem? I just cant download mails from gmail only by wifi only :/
Please help, thanks.
edit:
I also noticed that i cant update weather forecast in manila (only by wifi) and i cant connect to myphone also only by wifi. But everything works in 3G. Can it all happen becouse of installing some cookec roms? Maybe using task29 and installing stock rom again could help?
