Firstly, I'm running the rooted stock rom (OTA 1.45..). I don't know if this has been a problem SINCE I've rooted, as I don't go on facebook much, but, one of my friends, I just dded her on facebook the other day, and then noticed that it wouldn't let me link her fb account on her contact card because her fb account wasn't present in my contacts.
Anyways, whenever I try to refresh my facebook contacts, it takkes me back to the "online directories" screen with a message that says CONNECTION ERROR.
I can login to my fb just fine and things like my friendstream and the facebook app itself are ok, but, my contacts will not update at all.
Is there a file I'm supposed to flash, or what? Any help would be appreciated.
This has been discussed here and everywhere else
As of right now, their seems to be a problem with the Facebook servers. You can log into Facebook for HTC Sense fine, but it will show that you have "no friends". When you attempt to refresh, it will just load up and then exit out of the program with the "connection failed" error.

Sorry. I've seen discussions about it, but with so many different RoMs out, I wanted to make sure it was system wide rather than one or two in-particular. Thank you though.
weird, when I try to add facebook for sense to my accounts sync, it says warning the service is curently unavailable. do you want to try again? and never works.
Nothing new. It's been broken for over a week. It has nothing to do with being rooted.

If I could give a "perfect answer" award, then you'd have it. THANK you.

This is the first I've heard of Facebook not working... mine has been working with no problems whatsoever. (and I'm constantly on it, refreshing all of the time) Maybe it's not as widespread as some people think?
Facebook for Android works.
Facebook for Sense is not working.
Two different things that people are getting confused. It has been down since last week. It has nothing to do with ROOT or NONROOTED phones, it has to do with Facebook's connection or server hence the "connection error" that is displayed when you try to refresh your contacts.
I'm going to take a look at logcat when I can but it doesn't seem to be a connection issue (at least with authentication). Deliberately enter the wrong password and you'll see.
An issue with Facebook none the less.

Exactly. You can log in successfully, but when it comes to getting your contacts between Facebook servers and your phone, it isn't working. Somewhere there is a disruption between the 2. Androidforums.com has been on this for a while and even the HTC.com forums have had people talking about it.
From what someone mentioned, this happened to the iPhone a few weeks ago and was successfully fixed ASAP...
Soooo, basically, we're just waiting for it to fix itself?
... ugh.

I'm sure this issue will be fixed ASAP (As Soon As Possible) too, rather than just sitting around twiddling their thumbs...
Go here this should work. Be sure to read my post as well.

The problem seems to be fixed now. I just happened to open my people app, and pow! Facebook friends and contacts were updated. Pictures, updates, everything.
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else is getting this problem today or if it's just me.
I logged on this morning as I do everyday and when I tried replying to someone it told me I'm not logged in, so I typed in my details again and that same page continued to show until I shut my browser and opened another session. This let me log in but still when I try to reply to a post or even when I tried to view my control panel it logged me out and wouldn't allow me back in until I started a new browser session.
I've been monitoring it during my lunch time session and have had to close down and re-login multiple times but noticed also when looking through threads it was logging me out and in automatically from page to page.
I've tried both chrome and IE and both behave the same way. Thankfully I was able to post this so am hoping it stops doing it.
If it makes any difference I'm on the 2013 theme and I've never had this happen before today.
Thanks
I am using Firefox and I haven't seen that problem except at the very beginning of my time here last year, and then just a few times until it cleared up.

It seems when I have the "Remember me" box unchecked the problem arises but since ticking the box it isn't happening. I don't generally have remember me ticked while on work PC's but as said never happened before so hopefully just a glitch on my side.
Thanks
I am getting it too on my work PC (who knows what browser they use, it so filtered) but I also got that on my home PC (Firefox).
Frankly, it is making it unusable for me atm b/c I have to do all the steps you said above just to post. If I want to post multiple times in different threads, it can take more time to post the message than it did to type it. I've resorted to typing the message, then copying it and hitting post just to be kicked out, re-log in and clear caches/cookies and paste and post. It is a real PITA.
I've tried on 2010, 2013b and 2013b1024 just in case it was a theming issue. Am not having that problem on any other forums or outside internet sites that I have logged into but I have noticed it over the past two days, as well.

Did you try ticking "Remember me" when logging in as sorted it for me, I just had to remember to log out when I finished.
Well, let's see here.
Edit: No dice. Logged me out again. Tried it with Remember Me ticked and unticked.
Edit2: In fact, I just went to my tablet forums and it showed me as logged out. Then I clicked the XDA in the top corner to come back to this thread and it shows me as logged in. Must be ghosts in the machine.
Edit3: Now it is showing me as logged in right now, so I tried to go to the RC forums and got denied. Pulled up my phone forums in the Find Your Device (because I thought it might be something to do with my favorites/bookmarks) and it shows me as logged off. If I open the About XDA-Developers page, I am logged in.
Edit4: Sorry about these edits. I am only logged into THIS THREAD and not About XDA-Developers. I just got a PM and can't read it b/c it logs me out.
I've been experiencing this since Tuesday morning. Both in Chrome and Firefox. I've changed nothing and log in the same way as always. Happens when I try to reply and view my subscriptions. Tapatalk is the only way I can view and reply to anything right now.
Edit - this is happening both at home and work.

Same here guyz.... Have tried different browsers on different operating systems.... Same thing.... Anybody found the reason.... Or a solution?

This is happening to me too. I can get on once in every 100 attempts. I have tried everything, including changing browser, ip, computer, switching to xda 2010 and back, and ticking the remember me.
It's been happening to me for the last few days, I just ticked remember me, now I'm in for once!
The solution for this is to click the "Remember me" box when logging in. This is an issue that seems to have arisen due to a change in infrastructure on our end (I believe). It doesn't seem to impact all accounts however, just some of them.
If anyone has this issue after checking the "Remember me" box, please let me know.

Yes happening to me. If I clean everything in history of my browser, any browser, it logs me once. Immediately like I would post now it would log me out. It is happening in all the browsers with my account.
After getting logged out. When I again try to login, it would show a popup showing you are being logged in as nagpalkapil but would again not log e in and come out until I clean everything from history again including cookies etc. Has started happening for just last two days and was perfect before. Please help urgently on it.
Did anyone notice that captcha is not showing?

Strange, it works for me on both mobile chrome and desktop version.
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face......
Yup, works on my side too.
But I've noticed the captcha image got breaking before, but strangely it seems to work after sometime. So not sure about its random behavior.
EDIT: After a few refresh of that page, the captcha image broke. And not getting fixed after opening the page again.
I can confirm the captcha image is broken. I'll flag this to the server admin.
This should be fixed, let me know if it still isn't working for anyone.

Good to know there is a workaround, should help temporarily until the true issue can be resolved.
Or at least help those who read this or try it anyway. :good:
Submitted by device identifier, been waiting for the email with my unlock file for about 15 minutes now.
Not in spam, junk. It's always come instantly when doing this with HTCDEV.
Anyone else experiencing this??
Have you tried to do it a second time?

Just did it a second time, been about 3 minutes nothing yet.
I am having trouble with it as well. I am actually resetting a number of my old devices so I can sell them, one of them being my m8. I locked bootloader too early and need to unlock it again. Sent the code in, but no email yet. Seems it is very slow to send the email out at the minute. I have reset 3 other phones back to factory settings in the time it has taken me to get the email, which I am still waiting on!
Well that is strange. Guess I'm stuck waiting for this dumb email. Not sure why they can't just generate the unlock.bin on the website and have us download it. I hate waiting for automatic emails I always have the worst luck with them.
Edit: well I used the site contact form to send them a message about this, and got a "we received your message" email instantly. COME ON HTC

I think it is just HTC Dev being really slow. I suppose it could have been closer to an hour! I have been factory resetting 4 phones ant once and wiping my 10 and resetting it from scratch on the latest 1.30 software! Busy night
Alright, I used Firefox this time, created a new account with a different email. Submitted my identifier again. Nothing yet.
FINALLY got it lol
Just about finished setting up my 10 now. Need to finish factory reset procedure on my m8 and lock it, but that is tomorrows task!
Have yet to get an answer to this and was wondering if the community had experienced anything like this or had any advice.
On October 1st I cleaned up my Pixel 6 Pro (from sd main pro to wiping ALL chrome browsing history) so anything I'm signed into automatically logs me out.
The first time I came back to XDA I went to login and someone else's name was on my screen and it showed they had a notification.. I've never seen this before. When I clicked on his name it prompted me to log in again, as him.
Could this be a server side issue?
I believe that's a server side issue

I'll make the Admins aware of this. Thank you.
@Hand76 I can pass on the assurances that we've seen this before, that it's a known bug, that this used to happen back in the vBulletin forum software days too, that this bug doesn't actually let anyone log in under a different user's account, and they're continuing to look into it.
