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.

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] Latest Fresh Rom Apps restoring automatically (SOLVED)

I am trying to load fresh 4.5.0.1 and I am coming from CM 6.1.1 and also gingerbread test roms.
I have Calkulin's format all zip, and use it to wipe the entire device before moving from rom to rom.
My recovery is the latest amon ra.
Everytime I load a fresh.... fresh rom, it loads perfect, except that when it finally loads to where the phone is usable, all these old apps I used to use are loaded (many of them paid apps). They are old versions, so these apps aren't coming from the android market automatically.
I have all of these apps backed up on my sdcard, under an "apps" folder. I thought maybe it was loading them from this and have tried renaming it, and also totally removing it. These apps still installed automatically.
So my question is.... where on earth are they coming from? I just loaded CM7.0 gingerbread nightly build and these apps don't install. I loaded fresh 5-6 times today and these apps show up every time.
Any ideas? I have a pretty firm grasp on android and my EVO, but this is just baffling me. I bet it is something really simple too...
Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me also add that I have tried using calkulin's format all.zip, and the wipe system data, cache, and dalvik together to make absolutely sure the device is being wiped.
I do not use apps2sd, or have any apps installed to my sdcard.

I think it has to do with you setting up your gmail account when you first power on the phone after flashing. Try resetting it and skip the email setup part. When you click on market it should prompt you to log in.
I'll also add that when you set up your gmail in the beginning there is an option for backup apps and data (something along those lines). I always check the box and I think that's what you did.

This was the only thing I could think of as well. However, I can't seem to find that option for google to backup your apps. It used to be during the setup, which it isn't, and it also was under privacy in settings, which I can't find either.
I am seeing all these apps before I sync my google account.
Maybe I am just going crazy...

I thought of another tidbit to add...
I have flashed a stock rooted rom, and the apps do not install, even after syncing with my google account. Fresh 4.5.0.1 is the only rom this happens on.

This says solved... what was the solution?
When I ran the start up wizard, it asked if I wanted Google to back up my settings and I said no. Why does it still try and install loads of apps I used to use?
Was the solution not to sign in to your Google account during the wizard?

Help please

Tonight I decided to try cm7, so I flashed and the gapps, I noticed that all my apps from cm6 were automatically downloading and it was making the phone run so slow so after a while I just decided going back to my Evo elite rom, now no matter what rom I flash I can't install anything from the market! It just keeps saying unsuccessful. I tried downloading from the market website on my pc and the apps installed fine! But I CAN NOT download ANYTHING from the phone! I've tried 3 different roms now all the same result! Anyone know what's going wrong? And how to fix it?? Any help is MUCH appreciated!

OK I even tried changing sd cards thinking maybe my sd card was corrupt and no dice!! Can someone PLEASEEEE help me?? I have NO CLUE wtf is going on here I just cant download ANYTHING from the market on the phone but if i click install from the market website on my computer it downloads on my phone automatically. Im baffled!!!

You can try clearing the market cache, then force stop, then open it.
Reflash CM7 on a clean install, with the latest gapps.

Thx, tried that no go.

I'm having same problem. Happened to update CM7 today, was downloading apps, got incredibly slow, then stopped. Now apps won't install using that gmail account.
However, I tried the same ROM after a factory reset and another gmail account, and the market works. Did our accounts get blocked from Google you think?

Just remove the account, clear the cache in market and add the acvount back. If it starts downloading apps just cancel the ones you dont want

I have done a complete factory reset, and the account that won't work, never works anymore. A different gmail account will work after a factory reset, but the failing account will not download apps. A factory reset is much more than just clearing the market cache, and the reset still does not fix this account.
(Just to be complete, I did do a clear data on market and downloader before resorting to the factory reset. That did not work, so I proceeded to try the factory reset option to no avail).

Change your Gmail password and try to download apps again.

Great idea, but just tried it and that fails, too.

app could not be downloaded due to an error

So after i flashed RCMix3d Runny v4.0 I tried to download an app from the market and get the error: "app name" could not be downloaded due to an error. It happens with any app I try to download any app from the market. I tried many things with no luck
-clear market data and cache. didnt work.
-uninstall market update. didnt work
- switch gmail accounts. didnt work
-flashed back to my previous rom. didnt work
I did wipe the phone before i flashed RCMix3s Runny v4.0
when I restored my previous rom it didnt work so i tried to wipe my phone again and reflashed the rom and still didnt work
can anyone please help me out here?

what exactly did you wipe? data & cache? use superwipe, maybe this helps...

i wiped data and cache. ill try superwipe

anyone? i tried superwipe and the problem is still there

Check your SD Card
check your SD card, take it or mount it on your PC and do a chkdsk (might need the /f to fix errors). Last time I had an issue downloading apps, my sd card was messed up. I don't understand why that would be.
good luck.

I had this issue when I first loaded mexdroid.
The first work-around I found was to select a different language option after the flash (during setup). English US wouldn't work, but English UK would give me access to the market. However it screwed up my data connection so that was a no go.
I eventually found that this only happened when I downloaded and flashed using ROM manager (first, and last time I've ever used that). Once I downloaded from their site and flashed myself through recovery, everything was perfect.

I currently have this exact same issue, only I went from mexdroid to synergy and back. I haven't tried wiping anything yet but I got this suggestion in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19432854#post19432854
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All
Find Market, first force stop, then clear data
Next find download manager, first force stop, then clear data
reboot into recovery and wipe the dalvick cache
then reboot system and try your market again
I'm going to try this soon and I'll let you know my results, but if you discover a fix first please post back, I don't like having a broken market!

I had done all that when I had the issue. It didn't work for me but heres hoping it does for you!

So you basically had to wipe everything and reflash mexdroid from scratch?
EDIT: I just tried the method I posted above and it didn't work. WTF, what happened? I don't understand how my backup doesn't work now, shouldn't it be exactly the same as it was before?
I'm going to try one last thing, I have 2 mexdroid's backed up about a week apart, at the time they both worked just fine but I'm going to restore the older one and see if that helps at all.
2nd EDIT: OP, I don't know why this worked and I don't know if this will help you, but I just reverted back to my mexdroid backup from BEFORE I tried the sense rom and everything is back to working. I don't know why but installing the sense rom definitely did something to screw things up. I also don't know if this had anything to do with anything but I unchecked the "auto update" option for market. I hope you can resolve your issue, good luck to you

For me when I tried switching gmail accounts again it started working.
I also accidently wiped out my sd card. That was right before I decided I wanted to go back to CM7. When logged into my gmail account I forgot I had to use my second gmail account, but for some reason it started downloading apps again.
Not sure if wiping the sd card had anything to do with it but it works now. I'm happy

Glad you got it working, I'm happy with my results too but I'd still like to know wth happened to cause it in the first place. It's gotta be something related to google accounts somehow, but why did trying a Sense-based rom cause it?

weird solution
I tried clearing everything in order to get the market problem fixed when I had this same problem. In different orders, flashing, wiping, etc.
Finally, I linked a second gmail account, and now it can download. Why might this happen?
The weirdest thing, is that when I switch to the original account, it still doesn't work. Maybe a security file was corrupted somewhere?

I read something about google market locking somebody out if it thought there where too many devices attached or something. Haven't found anything to confirm that and I still don't know why I got locked out or why it started working again, but if making a new account worked that makes me think there's some truth to the market lock out theory.

Guys, this worked for me w/o changing google account or wiping sd,
1.)Turnoff your phone
2.) Remove Battery
3.) Remove External Sd Card count maybe 3-5seconds
4.) put sd card back in and battery
5.) turn it on and see if you can download again

I tried all of the solutions listed here; switching Google accounts, downloading an app, then switching back to my main account solved it. Thanks so much!

I had the same problem, going to accounts and removing my google account then adding it again fixed the problem

I added new account with the sync app, open the market, switch account, download some apps, switch back to old account and download other app. This fixed the problem. Thanks.

How is your density set in build.prop, i had the same issue. Changing the density on 200 work for me

Google Play Store download error - 921

This thread is to provide the solution for Google play store download error - 921.
Today I got the error while downloading the apps from Google Play Store. The error message is
'Error - Update for "xxxxx" could not be downloaded due to an error. (921)'
I've searched the forum and found some useful information. Because the thread was belonging to different phone, I wanted to post the information with some more details.
If you see the same error, then follow the steps -
1. Menu > Settings > Personal > Accounts and sync > click on your google account (email)
2. click 'Remove account'. Don't worry, it's not deleting your physical account. Account related information is still saved in Google.
3. Launch Google Play Store again
4. When asked, use existing account to create the google account.
5. Provide your existing google account information (email & password)
6. try again to download
Based on my experience, whenever I got the 921 error, cleaning cache and data for google play store app does not work.
Another work around is creating a second google account. But I believe many people do not want to maintain multiple account on one phone.
(attached) screenshot of error 921.

First png uploading failed. Try to upload thru 2nd post.

Error 921 download error..
I could fix it by uninstalling the google play..

I tired to do this, but I get
"This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data) You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy"
Actually doing that is what started my problem. My google contacts would not sync
so I reset by going to Settings/Privacy, now I can't get google play/market to download anything, and I constantly get a google talk authentication failed message. ( I don't nor have I ever knowingly used google talk)

remove and clear the data/cache for the play store and uninstall the update for it. it should roll back to a version from before and once you reopen it and it downloads again it should be ok. I had this same problem and have done that and so far with the newest market I've not had one single problem after doing that. YMMV however.

I do not have option to clear data or clear cache greyed out, I will try the uninstall update..
no go, same thing only now the message is simply "could not be downloaded due to an error"

is your phone rooted? and which rom are you using?
Again, just removing data/cache would not solve the problem many times.
Did you try to create a second account?

yeah, I can't clear data or cache as the buttons are not available.
it is rooted I am on GB EL30 with EL30 modem
i did not try a second account, really don't want a second account, i guess i can to test it though.
probably do a hard reset tonight from cm

Many google apps are sharing the info thru Google Framework service. Did you try to remove data/cache for this app also?
Doing factory resetting would be the easiest way but sometimes taking long time to recover the everything. So, it depends on your preference.
If the data & cache fields are grayed out, then it means that there's nothing to be cleared.

yes, the buttons for data and cache are also unavailable in framework also.
I did the factory reset from Privacy, that's what started the 921 problem.
i guess I will from cm tonight, that don't work I guess I'll put it back to ec05 and let it update then try again

got tired of messing with it, used odin to overwrite el30. so far so good. email push is working, contacts are syncing, and I can download from market

it's working now! thank you!

Likewise, OP's steps worked for me Thanks.

I googled this issue (I have a different device, obviously) and found this thread. Pointing me at the Google Framework services fixed my issue, so thank you!! I use TB and just restored the Google Framework data (I'd just wiped data and didn't want to have to go through the play store song and dance like ALWAYS) and voila! One reboot later (I'd already rebooted five times before, what was one more?) my apps download without an issue. This would probably resolve it for other users as well. Thank you again!!

Remove the account and readd it.

Hey my little cuties. I noticed something it the screenshot. You have the warning triangle up top. Use the pulldown to grant permissions. Google apps sometimes request it out of nowhere.

That was not the permission thing. Actually the little triangle was for the error message on top.
Actually I've seen the case like you explained but in my case there was no waring nor notification. Just app was't worked. In sometimes, if the app does not work, then we need to pull down the notification area, and check if there's anything (permission request).

OP's directions worked for me as well.

OP's directions worked for me as well.

Now how do I clear up the 942 error.
