Go into the Accounts & Sync menu under settings. do another "Add Account", there you should see a second Facebook account icon, click there and login to your facebook account.
If you've already done this, go back to the Account & Sync menu, and click the Facebook for HTC Sense and remove account, re-add it and reboot.
I always have that same issue when setting up a new ROM, and you just have ot play with the settings under Facebook for HTC Sense and sometimes even removing and re-adding helps.

Tried All those options but nothing worked and my whole life is on facebook

Under the People app, click menu and view. make sure you have your Facebook checked.

You may want to avoid creating MULTIPLE threads for the same issue.
Check your other thread in the general section for an answer.

Sorry bout the other thread thing i want this issue resolved and i did check and facebook is checked

Stock Rom? Ask the Facebook App developer. Uninstall and reinstall. Wipe the phone and reinstall. I am using Stock Rom non-rooted and having no issue. Are you sure you have the correct username and password?

If you're still not having any luck, I'd have to agree with tgruendler, try a wipe and start over. As far as the Stock ROM, did you download and install it after rooting.
If that's the case, try one of the custom ROMS

Can u give me links and tell me how to do this??

I have the same problem as you.
I went back to rooted stock and i can't get it to find my friends. everythign else, including the friend stream syncs up fine.
I have wiped and reinstalled...same problem.

I'm having the same issue. I installed Fresh 1.0.1, and I wasn't able to re-sync, but when I reflashed my backup (which was working before), it still wouldn't connect.
Maybe Facebook is having issues today?

[Q] Accidentally erased Facebook for HTC Sense

I accidentally erased Facebook for HTC Sense. Now i can't sync my contacts with Facebook. I'm rooted with unrEvoked, and i guess i have stock kernel. Any suggestions how to download this again? Is there something better for syncing with Facebook.
Thanks

Go to the regular facebook page from your browser and there will be a link at the bottom of the facebook page to download to your Evo.

Stealthl: thanks, but that only downloads the one in Android Market. I need the one that came with the phone, so I can sync with my contacts. Anyone have that ROM for downloading?

uhh... they're the same app? Many roms I flash don't come with Facebook at all. I download it from the market, log in, and it gives me the option to sync contacts.

I also would love to get this, since made the same mistake. Side note they are not the same.

Extract it from the Rom your using (zip) and push it into your system it re-flash the Rom.

That seems to be the app from the market right.
The app we're looking for is the one that comes on the evo from sprint. It is called HTC Facebook for Sense.
I am having the same issue where I deleted the HTC Facebook app thinking it was the same as the market FB app when apparently it is now. And now my contact list will not synch with Facebook.
I also tried to create a facebook account under "accounts and synch" but it didn't work presumably because I no longer have HTC Facebook installed.

This is what comes on the phone.

They are not the same. That being said... the one in the market is definitely better. The only down side is it wont sync your facebook calendar. (if that matters to you) It SHOULD do contacts. What you have to do is go to the home screen, then choose menu, settings, sync contacts, then choose the appropriate choice. Note: it doesnt open to the home screen.

If you still couldn't get the Android Market Facebook work with syncing your contacts, or if you still just want the HTCFacebook.apk, then here it is. You need to copy it to /system/app, using Root Explorer, or use adb to push it to system/app. It won't work if you try to install it like a regular app.
Edit: I just noticed that the OP was from mid November!!! HAHAHA

Copied to /system/app using root explorer get app not installed error any suggestions...its funny hoe you go crazy deleting stock apps when u first root then loose some functionality like the ability to sync

I would really just suggest the one from the market... or reinstalling the rom (no need to wipe if its the same rom, just clear both catches.

Once you copy and paste it into system /app, long press htcfacebook.apk. choose permissions. Be sure that the top rows of the first two columns are checked.

[Q] [REQUEST] Remove Exchange Policy From Sense Mail.apk On Super-Z Enhanced v4.2

I am trying to figure out how to remove the exchange lock policy (have to enter pin after unlocking phone) for the mail.apk in the SUPER-Z Enhanced V4.2 ROM. I have tried countless methods but none were successful. I know I can do it with other mail.apk's but I want to use the sense one included in the ROM. Any help is appreciated. The original apk is attached.
Thanks

What I Did
I'm not sure what the differences are between mail.apk's but I followed the instructions from the following post and it worked like a champ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10024521&postcount=293
When you setup the exchange account it still asks you to activate security and set a pin but once you've setup the account you can remove the admin and use pattern lock.
I attached my Mail.apk. It originated from Virtuous 3.2.

Thanks ktdt I will try when I get home. I tried doing something similar but I couldn't get java files to cooperate.

I deleted my old Mail.apk and pushed the one you supplied to /system/app and then rebooted. When I try to open mail in the app drawer it force closes. Every other one I tried to do did the same thing. Any ideas?

Hmmm.... not sure... I've used that same APK with Virtuous, IncrediblyReengineered and Redemptive Revolution with no problems. Every time I flash a new ROM I replace the APK before setting up the Exchange account.
Did you delete your Exchange account (and any POP3's) and/or maybe delete your mail data before removing/replacing the Mail.apk?

No I just deleted mail.apk, I will try that and let you know.

Ok still didn't work and I did the following. Removed my exchange account, not any account setup on POP, IMAP, etc. Then I cleared the cache, data and force stopped, Mail, Mail Widget, Calendar, Calendar Storage, Calendar Sync Adapter and Calendar Widget. Then I used Super Manager to delete Mail.apk form /system/app. I then pushed your supplied Mail.apk to /system/app and then rebooted. Open app drawer try to open Mail and force close. I might just try another ROM with your Mail.apk what do you think?

I changed to Incredibly Re-Engineered and it works now. Must have not liked the ROM I was on. This was more important to me so I made the switch. Thanks for the help.

[Q] Stock email

I have an EVO. Its basically is just the stock over the air rooted (android 2.3.3). The main thing that I have had issue with is only being able to have 1 exchange account. I have been told that apparently that is just an HTC thing and the stock android allows for multiple.
I have read through and search the forums for how to get the stock email app installed. It seems like everything is either to old or something and download links are not working, etc. I saw one post that said just get the app from another rom and install it.
So I downloaded the stock deodexed rom from the Nexus S (which I no is stock). And pulled the email.apk from it. Transferred it to my evo and tried to install and got the error "application not installed".
So I found things saying to try and remove the app that was already on the phone. So I used root uninstaller and uninstalled the mail app from the phone (the HTC one not gmail.apk)
But I get the same error. I tried, replacing the email.apk on the rom that I used with the email.apk from the stock rom and load the rom, but the rom wouldn't load.
Does anyone have any ideas or help they might be able to give me, or possibly any other way to get multiple exchange accounts working on the evo?

It looks like your only option is Enhanced Email from the Market ($9.99)
OR set up one of your accounts as IMAP

Advanced email is using your existing stock apps and a good solution
Better is to use k9 mail with more options and a multi user solution.

[Q] [q] facebook app

My Facebook app went funny last night, it wouldn't show my friends pictures and wouldn't come out of refresh. So I logged out, turned off my wireless connection, rebooted my phone, turned on the wireless and tried to log back in. I was met with this error:
Login Failed

It is still the same after uninstalling and re-installing the app.

That sounds as though your phone isn't actually reaching the facebook page but is being redirected somewhere else. Are you sure it's not something to do with your wifi network? Can you get to facebook OK from a laptop?
I'd expect this sort of thing if you were connected to a hotspot without having logged into the hotspot from the phone.

I have reported this to Facebook. Must be a technical change they made which had an impact on mobile devices connecting, with the exception of browsers.

But the funny part is, it only affected HTC Desire.
My GF with Samsung Galaxy S, and all others that I know, dont have problems...
Found this problem on other forums too, all Desire's
And one have tried a factory reset.

Facebook was unreachable a couple of days ago. But I got a message saying that they are doing maintenance. When it came back up, all it had me do is log back in. Everything is fine until now.
I wonder if your issues has something to do with the Facebook integrated on Sense. You guys using Sense roms by any chance?

Yes, it is a Sense Rom I'm using..
I have just tried to freeze Facebook for HTC Sense via Titanium Backup, still same problem with "Facebook app"

same problem from same day... i tried few older version of fb app but none works. HTC Desire InsertCoin rom

Same here since a couple of days. It seems to be a problem on FB side, but in some way related to the software of the phone. I own a Desire with RcmixS Rom Gingerbread. I flashed it with an ICS Rom and it worked after that. Come back to Gingerbread after factory wipe and problem is there again.

Trying logically to understand why this happens only on Desire with gingerbread (since on my with ICS it was working) and looking at the error I thought it could be a problem of certificates that are not up to date, in this case may be only on a specific android distribution like the one we have on Desire... (app developer are maybe forgetting our loved phone since it's getting older) so I tried to understand how to update this certificates and I've finally found that there are some files where they are stored inside a system directory.
Here attached you can download a zip with some certificates I found. To install them you have to put the file on the SD, go into recovery mode and then simply choose to install a zip from SD card. Reboot... My FB started working again! I had tried everything before this without success... so maybe this will work for you too.
Let me know! :fingers-crossed:

I BET it's because facebook.com have automatic activated some new security settings, https, and (dont know the english word for it) safe login, where you will receive an sms the first time you log on from a new unit...
I downloaded your zip file, extracted cacerts.bks, cwcerts.zip & otacerts.zip and copied them to my system/etc/security folder, quick restart, and it's WORKING :good:
And I was receiving an sms so that i could log on.
Funny part is, that those certificates looks older than the ones I allready got, but they are a little bit bigger.
But it's working... thank you :laugh:

I've been having the same problem since Monday, only I don't have a Desire but a Wildfire S. I don't seem to have the system folder on the SD-card nor can I find anywhere else to put the files (I tried putting them in the .android_secure-folder just to try anything and restart but no progress...). Is there perhaps another way to fix this for a Wildfire S? Thank you!

Yes, having LeeDroid you should already have a cooked recovery... just power off the phone, keep pressed vol - and power... choose recovery with vol buttons and enter with power button. You should be now on you recovery (probably clockworkmod). Choose install zip from SD and select certs.zip you can find on my previous post and that you have to put on your SD. At the end reboot. You should now be able to use FB.

installed the certs and Facebook is now working. :good:

No låvisa, the folder is on the internal memory, but you can't write on it if you are not rooted. You can probably apply the file from the recovery also without root, but you need a cooked recovery. To permanently install the clockworkmod recovery, that is not the stock one and that have more option like the one to install zip, again you would need to be root. Instead I think you can (I've never do it this way, sorry...) install the clockworkmod recovery temporary without root from your stock recovery, just the time to flash my zip.
Here you can find all the available way to install the clockworkmod, look at the update.zip method:
