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.

Same issue here. Facebook app from market works fine but the integrated samsung facebook sync and widget have problems. Ridiculous, samsung needs to fix their software.

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.
Hey guys, I've updated my HTC Trophy to Mango and I've noticed a problem with WLM in Messaging.
In the Messaging under online, it only shows some contacts online, but not every online contact.
and when I go to some contact in the PeopleHub, it says text+chat, but it doesn't show it for everyone I speak to on WLM.
Anyone got a fix for this?
Thanks.
I have noticed this with my FB contacts. Some friends don't show up in the list available on my phone, but it does show them as available in FB chat on my computer.
I have this issue too.
And hope this is just a beta bug, but sometimes when I'm chatting with someone and I turn the screen off and after a while I turn on and go chat with the same person, it shows me that he is offline.
I need to go back to message hub, slide to "online" and wait to load again.
Its a privacy setting they have enabled to allow apps certain permissions. Fb has these and wlm has them each friend. Has to grant access to other apps to use chat and such

I've found that it's just the people I have added recently, all my older contacts seem to work fine.

Sync manualy once all of your accounts in Settings/email-accounts...
I download new content every 30 minutes and I keep syncing in manually in settings>email+accounts.
I'll be able to chat to people on WLM desktop, but not in Messaging on my phone, they don't appear online.
The problem might be the server that Windows Phone using is not the same as WLM, and some functionality of WLM have not finished yet in the current build of Mango (as it is for dev to testing app). We might have to wait until they release the final build or might be another working update. Right now, even those people from FB, Y!M or Gmail can see you online and they can send you message, but you probably cannot send back to them due to the limit of current build. However, I can confirm that WLM working perfectly. So if you guy has Live id, use it for messenger for now until we have the good build as we can message other services.
I found a fix that made it possible for push notifications to come through in realtime (for comments,tags etc.). I heard about that BlackBerry simulator solution and this is what i did : I downloaded a BB simulator (for 9300 series of phones or something...basicaly BB 7.0 or so). I logged out the FB app on Android, then i fired up the BB simulator/emulator and i I entered my facebook credentials in the BB's FB app and enabled "push notifications" and i also disabled all email notifications within the app. After that i logged-out and so FB push notifications started coming through immediately on my Samsung Galaxy Try it ,it freakin works! P.s.: i would love to know if it worked for you. And another thing, don't forget to re-login on the FB app on the Nexus and ENABLE NOTIFICATIONS in the Options menu (the first checkmark box just under "refresh interval". Every other things like Event Invite,Messages and Friend Requests don't come through via Push but via refresh interval. Everything else will work through PUSH

No not really you will get instant fb notifications, i set mine to every 30 mins though it really does not make a difference
Facebook app is such a mess.
On my Sensation and other phones, with notifications turned off, I get PERFECT notifications.
Now with my new Galaxy Nexus, with it on or off I don't get any notifications.

Yes you need to be signed out of any facebook when you do this trick
So basically if I have the Facebook messenger app installed on my phone, this will not work?
For example I removed facebook app from my xoom. I installed facebook app on my nexus. I also have the facebook messenger installed on my nexus. So can I use this method?
works for me! make sure u remember to sign out of both facebook and facebook messenger on your gnex before u sign in on the simulator
Worked for me.
Just follow the instructions, and remember to log out.

Did this a few months back and its worked for me ever since, on both my incredible and galaxy nexus. It's a shame this is even necessary though. There's so many poor quality apps out there that can handle push notifications, you would think facebook could get it down by now.

thanks so much for this, my girlfriends phone had notifications that pushed and it drove me nuts, i matched all her setting to mine and nothing, i cant believe it takes a blackberry lol. again thanks
anyone having roblems with push FB notifications?
It's never worked for me. I've heard that Facebook said their push notifications are supported on Android, but never seen it, no matter what settings you use in the app.
BUT if you want to get push notifications for Facebook messages, then that is supported in their separate (official) app, which I've had no problems with.

FIX:
Find a friend with a blackberry or use/download the blackberry emulator.
Log into facebook in the blackberry app, grant it permission to your facebook data.
Push notifications should now work on your android device.
I know it's weird, but that seems to make it work for some reason.
never worked for me
but i've ditched it for the time being since it was eating up 20% of battery usage =/

I was getting notifications, but uninstalled the app to save on batteries. Now I use the mobile version online, which has pretty much all the features as the app.
Stock 4.0.1 rom
BB fix works for me, make sure you change the notification sound from silent to whatever you want (mine is the facebook pop)
Also you can change the refresh to never because the important stuff is pushed regardless. (saves battery)
Also IMPORTANT, make sure you don't have the facebook account signed in on any other android devices such as tablets or other phones.
Do this and facebook push will work every time.

Been that way since they released their app for Android.

Might do this myself. This whole not getting notifications is dumb since both sides say they're supported but don't work -.-
actually it was working for me till yesterday and it stopped today, so BB fix is not involved here.
just wondering if from time to time push notifications stop working for a reason

When I was at stock 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, FB push works perfectly for me (I guess).
But after having flashed AOKP Milestone 3 build from 4.0.3, push stopped working for no reason.
What always 100% worked for me was deactivating and then reactivating my facebook account. I switch roms frequently and sometimes FB push notification would not work on certain roms unless I do what I mentioned earlier. Just log back in to reactivate your account. Hope this helps.

Mine have also stopped within the past day or so. I originally had to do the BlackBerry trick to get them working in the first place too. I tried deleting and clearing the data cache, as well as uninstalling then reinstalling the app and trying the BlackBerry trick again but that doesn't work.
No idea why they've stopped.
I was running AOKP Milestone 3 build 22 and FB push stopped working.
I tried to deactivate / reactivate my FB account according to DOHCtor's method but no luck.
Tonight I flashed the build #23 and FB push start working correctly. I have no idea.
Furthermore, FB Messenger seems not working
