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.

Hello everyone, starting last night, my manilla.exe/Sense crashes any time Twitter tries to download new tweets (Using the Twitter client built into Sense). Sense closes and relaunches, no new Tweets are displayed. Happens with both a manual refresh or the automated Twitter refresh.
Thinking it was maybe something funky in my Twitter feed, I logged out of Twitter and logged into a secondary almost unused twitter, and ran into the same problem.
Any idea what is causing this?
My next step would be to delete the file the tweets are stored in, in case this has some how gotten corrupt. Any idea what file to delete, or where to find a menu command to do this? Logging out doesn't delete your old Tweets, just causes them to not be displayed.
I'm sure a hard reset would fix this, but I've got a ton of software I don't want to reinstall.
Running the Sprint version of the TP2, using the stock 6.5 ROM.
As I had the same problem, since today (manilla crashing) I started browsing the forum and found that others too thought peep could be the problem. This is how I came to your thread.
I don't have a solution, but it seems to me the problem has got something to do with some or other update...
When I close phone connection (boot and then don't enter pin-code) then everything keeps working great. Updating and downloading through WiFi. even Peep!
Very strange....
Thanks. Not sure what peep is, but I don't use that. I did find the Temp folder for Twitter, and deleted everything in that, didn't help.
I did see when I tried to reconnect that it processed two tweets before crashing (based on the images it downloaded into the Temp folder). So either Twitter changed something that's messing up the client, or there's another database/cache somewhere I haven't been able to locate that needs to be rebuilt.
Guess I'll try PocketTwit in the meantime.
HTC Peep is the built-in twitter app. If you disable autosync in peep everything runs smoothly. Twitter probably made some change in protocol or sth...
An other twitter app will have to do ;-)
Oh ok. Didn't see the name Peep anywhere, or on the .exe. Good to know. Even with auto turned off, it was still crashing. However, it looks like its a Twitter issue:
A known API issue is causing some clients to crash 1 hour ago

Taken from their blog.
Twitter support says: problem solved!
Still not working for me, and its been about 50 minutes since they posted it was fixed to their status page. Peep still crashes on refresh, and Pocketwit refuses to show any updates.
Any updates on this? I'm still crashing this morning.

use sktools to clean the twitter-cache. works for me.
I got it working last night. Took about 3 hours from when they posted it had been fixed, for when the built-in Twitter client started working again without crashing.
PocketTwit refused to work until I deleted the account and recreated it.
Both are working today.
Mine is still crashing. Damnit.
Try going into the Temp folder on your phone's root, and deleting all the twitter db/cache files.

Perfect! Thanks!
I have a horrible feeling that when Twitter turn off the auth-ouath thing (http://countdowntooauth.com/) all the older phones who have a Sense tab that runs Twitter will stop working
Both my phones, HD2 stock rom and TD2 Energy rom, crashes on trying to update the twitter feed. Trying to delete the cache in \temp doesnt help. Strange. Maybe salemfox is correct, one does hope that HTC fixes Peep asap then...
Hey, my TD2 with Energy-Rom GTX 25 aug.. is working again!! Jippie! I did delete my accountsettings on the TD2 first ... But logged in now and no crashes anymore!!
I was right! Any idea is there's ANY fix for this? I doubt it, it would require a new manilla or at least us replacing some files (the ones with all the numbers in their names) in the Windows directory. It's happened on Android too...

Yup. This is frustrating. Not only does Peep not work with Oath, but neither does Pockettwit. Anyone know of any Windows Mobile Twitter clients (that are good) that work with Oath?
When peep stopped working because of the bad auth connection to twitter, on the upside it resolved my SOD problem. This is on windows mobile 6.5, after I already applied the htc patch for the sms memory leak. Unfortunately last night the phone automagically seemed to try to make contact again (i heard the typical message twirp sound) and truth be told this morning the tp2 once again slept the sleep of death. I just disabled the service for the time being but i would love to know how to remove peep altogether manually. Still not clear on that.
Does anybody else have this issue, my facebook app works intermittently. One hour it works our refreshes while another hour out won't do anything when I refresh or it will give me an error saying it can't refresh. This happens whether our not I have auto update interval set to on or off.
It seems to happen only from thee news or notifications menus
Mine is doing that also. I dont get half my notifications anymore, luckily i get an email. Still a pain in the ass tho.
Perhaps a facebook issue?
I've tried a lot to trigger an update of information and i'm not getting anything unless I go into the app and refresh.... the widget hasn't updated since this morning
This had between occurring since the weeks after the froyo update for me. I searched high and low and can't find any info in regards to this issue.
Is the facebook app developed by facebook?
The official app is made by Facebook, and it does indeed suck with froyo. After finally figuring out it would update and sync inconsistently, I uninstalled it. And that's where my problems really started. It turned out even though I no longer had fb installed (even the one for sense) somehow it would still try and sync for hours at a time, draining the battery, and preventing my email and whatnot from syncing themselves. I noticed this because I noticed that my syncing icon would take forever to go away, and when I opened up running apps there would always be a fb process listed there. Had to go back to a nand backup from before I installed it. Haven't installed it since and never noticed that process reappear, or had any other issues with syncing. I have a bookmark shortcut to the touch version of the fb website, and I just use that now.

Forgive me in advance, I am asking this question on behalf of my gf that has an Epic.
Every couple hours she gets a prompt to login to facebook which is becomming very annoying. I have an Evo and have never had this issue but I also use the official facebook app, it appears that the epic has its own facebook app which appears to be the one causing us troubles. Does anyone else have this issue with facebook or am I doing something wrong? It would seem there is a way to stay logged in because if you are constantly signing in it kinda defeats the purpose of widgets.

This isn't going to answer your question but I'm just letting you know I get the same issue. I just either leave it or clear the notification up. Wouldn't mind finding a solution to this as well. Good luck!
I was afraid of that, so its either deal with the constant logins to get everything synced properly in your contacts, messages, etc., or go with something like Pure Messanger Widget and stock facebook app?
yep same issue here, ive learned though it does it only when i check my facebook on the epic
if I leave it alone it doesnt log out
There is a similar post in the General forum, but I had the same issues.
When I experienced the same issues, I was still on the stock version of Facebook.apk. The SNS account kept prompting for me to log in again, with each sync interval.
I tried removing and adding the account again and rebooting in between, yet still the same problem. I finally had upgrade Facebook to the latest update that was the cause of all these login issues for older versions.
The upgrade fixed the problem, but I did find an issue when you use the built-in Facebook contact sync alone it may not carry profile pictures over to SMS. I had to manually add the account, this ended up putting two Facebook sync processes on my phone. The first is for Facebook to actually let you login to the app (just has sync contacts), and the second is the process that will sync both contacts and calendar events again. (the original sync we're used to)
Reference thread
EDIT: I just got the same SNS login prompt again.
I've never had any login problems on the facebook app, but I also don't use the feeds and updates widget.

This only seems to be happening to me more often recently. I swear it's asking me to log in to Facebook & Twitter every hour or so now. When I go to Accounts & Sync I see that there are two accounts (even though I only have one account for each). One Twitter & one Facebook account say there was an error with the syncing process.
I unchecked the sync processes that were having errors. I'll let you know if I keep being asked to log in.
I have this problem too. It says my sync is experiencing errors and its cause it logged me out of Facebook. Once I log back in its fine.

Also i don't have auto sync enabled. I manually refresh them.

I used to have this issue, but I figured out a simple workaround.
I use the FACEBOOK APP to sync and not the adding a Facebook account under the account section in settings. After I deleted the Facebook account there and made a sync with the Facebook App, the annoying prompt went away and hasn't come back since.

After doing this, I bet you don't have your friends profile pictures in the stock SMS application anymore. You also wouldn't have Facebook events in your stock Calendar application.
I have the same problem. Funny thing is my widget works fine gets updates and I can upload a picture from within the widget. If I take a picture, or select one from the gallery, then click Share facebook, it will not upload. started one day last week.
On stock rooted and don't get it hourly or even 2x/day that I can remember, just every morning...sometimes it doesn't make it the first time, usually it re-connects, good til the next morning....
I had the same problem. I had to delete the stock sync and use the FB app's sync option but like mentioned above you lose the profile pics on the stock sms so I downloaded "go sms" and the pictures are back...it beats having to log in every hour for sure.

I would say it's a Facebook issue. It stopped working properly after the recent Facebook update. It affected all versions of the application, including the Epic's stock version of Facebook.
I do actually. But, no calendar sync.
Sent from the Epic that bites.
I can say that my gf and my brother both have the same issue, only reason i can think Samsung isn't attempting a quick fix is the rumored 2.2 update for the 21st of this month, which will probably have an updated app that fixes the problem. Although as important as facebook is to people I am surprised there is no maintenance release that fixes this,
Same issues here. I was thinking it might have had something to do with networking issues - I usually leave wifi and 4g on all the time. I noticed that I usually get the prompts when I leave home in the morning (go out of range of my house's wifi) and when 4g disconnects and reconnects in spotty 4g areas. I was wondering if maybe the session expires when you switch networks. Same thing would happen on my laptop when I would bring it from home to work or a coffee shop. FB might recognize that the connection is different. Meh, just a theory I thought I'd throw out there.
Hi,
I use the Peep client from HTC because I like the full screen widget but last night I realised that it has stopped updating itself. I logged out to see if that might make a difference but now when i try to log back in it claims that my details are incorrect which is not the case as I can log in just fine on the Twitter website.
I am at a loss as to what more I can do so I hope someone has a bright idea.
Thanks.
Unless it's something to do with them now using HTTPS I can't see what the issue is. The last time there was a problem was the last time Twitter changed it's authentication. I use the official app/widget so never tried using Peep
I have now created another account to try to see if I could log in with that one but I still cannot. I cleared the cache etc but to no avail.
Is there another twitter app that has a full screen widget similar to the Peep one?
Tweetdeck? Never used any other app other than the Official one
You are not alone. As of approximately 20:00 GMT on 29/3/2011, Twitter for HTC Sense (which drives Peep, FriendStream and the homescreen widget) has stopped working. Bit of Googling reveals several reports starting to emerge. See these links:

it happened to me once and it turned out it was because I ran low on internal storage memory and it stopped working till I went back above 15mb free space.
strange
but I stopped using Peep and used the official one instead eventually too.
is there a solution for this?
HTC Twitter App doesn't use OAuth so try Twitter App from market and everything should be fine.
I am confused. in past several months I tried bunch of ROM's and every sigle of them had gmail sending mail issues. Why google? They are same people who made android, and that is why I am expecting their app's to be smooth and better from others. Sometimes after seeing red "sending..." message mail stays for hours in outbox, no metter how many times you sync, refresh or even restart your phone (this happens mostly when replying but not limited to). Am I only one with this problem and why gmail (app) sucks so much?

Gmail version 2.3.4.1 gave me problems with Sense-based roms initially and I ended up reverting back to version 2.3.2, however, I didn't recall having that problem with the stock odexed 3.70 rom. Furthermore, I have no problems with version 2.3.4.1 using an AOSP rom, specifically Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. If you have the time, nandroid backup your current setup, download and flash the rooted stock 3.70 rom from the link below and then test your gmail performance.

This same thing happened to me. Someone on here made the suggestion of going into my application settings and clearing the data, and since then it has worked flawlessly.
Clearing the data worked for me on my EVO.....thanks all
