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.
yesterday i got the little F icon in my task bar telling me i lost connection to facebook. since then i have not been able to log in to the sync account. i can use the FB app no problem. anyone else?
edit: wtf after trying 10 times i post this and was able to log in right away. the power of whining on the internet
edit 2: still havign sync issues with fb. pain in the ass
I had the same issues. Must be on Facebook's end.
Some months ago FB's app would absolutely not give me notifications when I opened the app, no matter what I did. The error was all on their end of things. Push notifications have never worked anyway, and since auto-updating is a battery drain I just decided to turn it all off. I still marvel at how they can have such a poor official Android app, and how any improvements to it are so small and infrequent. Yet their mobile website is not nearly as bad, and now it's of course much more possible to use the full site on a decent mobile browser.
I've had the same problem for a long time too.
On another note, does anyone know why the Nexus S gets fb comment notifications and the Epic doesn't?
Yeah me too. I was reading that fb sync is gone in gb. Is that true?

Just noticed this today, but same thing... sync problem since 6/3. Contacts are still sync'ing (through SNS, not the app... I don't have the app installed), it's the calendar sync that is not working.
Using a themed version and it is not having problems. Steal one from a rom/theme if you're rooted.

Does anyone use Go SMS? In the list of messages it is just showing numbers and not contact names for me

Noticed this as well. Thought it was my backup...
maybe we should let the developer know.
I noticed it too, I've been using it for months and love it but have had to go to handcent sms untill they update it.
I've emailed the developer. You might like to do the same...
Yeah I already emailed them so hopefully it'll get sorted soon

Fix?
Did any of you ever get this resolved? This started happening to me about 2 weeks ago.
I have started getting this a few days ago as well. Was there any known fix?
I emailed the developer but haven't heard back but... I then downloaded Handcent and had the same issue which I thought was weird so I emailed them too. I did receive a response from them stating that with ICS 4.0 Google changed the facebook permissions for allowing 3rd party apps access to facebook data. Seeing as how most of my contacts pictures come from linking them to my FBook account it made sense because my Google contacts that weren't on facebook still showed up. They said they are working on it. Again, this was the response i received from handcent but still haven't heard back from Go SMS. I am assuming it's the same problem though. Hope this helps.
Email has always worked perfect up until the last few days. It will randomly stop syncing and I have to power it off and back on for it to fix the problem. Everything looks normal. It will not send or receive though.
Everything else seems to work except the email. It's already caused me quite a few problems with not getting messages in a timely manner.
Any thoughts.
I have experienced the same problem also... i kept wondering for few days why i am not getting any emails and than one day my battery died so when i rebooted i the phone my inbox got tons of emails from few days back... i wish to know the answer too
What email are you trying to sync? Hotmail?

hotmail and yahoo... both got backed up for few days... any ideas?
I'm experiencing the same for Gmail. Anybody know of a fix?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I'm having the same, or a similar, issue with Exchange mail. Randomly it won't bother to sync it on push until I open up the mail app. All my Gmail works fine, just this.
I may have found the problem. I took off my live wallpaper yesterday and put a standard one back on and my email hasnt quit working since.
I had the 3D Hyperspace Live Wallpaper, which I really like and hate to lose. I'm still monitoring it but I lost email pretty frequently until I went back to the standard wallpaper so there's a good chance thats the problem.
I'll update with results.
Some more info on my problem and my phone:
I have four yahoo email accounts and one gmail account. My yahoo accounts would stop syncing and nothing you could do would refresh them. Nothing would make them sync other than turning the phone off and back on.
My phone is rooted with sfhubs root which has worked flawlessly so far. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
Well I noticed my Hotmail stopped syncing around the time they made the official Hotmail app. I thought it maybe something on Hotmail side of things not allowing it to work but I guess not. I am not rooted and am all stock but the official Hotmail app works great so I just said forget the other one. Let me know if anyone finds a fix.

My gut feeling is that it stopped syncing because i was " clearing memory" from that inbuilt Samsung task manger... since i stopped using "clear memory" the email seems to sync properly ... maybe i am wrong ... i don't know...
Update:
It's been three days since I took the live wallpaper off. I had no problems for three days...
Until this morning. Email hadnt synced since last night. I had to reboot the phone and the emails came rolling in.
I'm going to put the live wallpaper back on and see how it reacts.
Is there anyone else having problems with Gmail not syncing? I have searched and saw issues with the Nexus 6p but it keeps happening on my 5x. Is there a known workaround for this?
-Thankx
I'm not having issues on my 5X, but I use Inbox instead of gmail. However, read the following article. There are issues being reported.

Gmail struggles to sync on my phone as well. I don't know of a way to fix it yet.

Same here. I don't get notified of new emails until I open the app. Haven't found a fix yet
Glad to see it's not just me. I've cleared data/uninstalled about 10 times and couldn't get it to work. Seems to sync fine on my Samsung Note 8.0
Maybe the Gmail update today fixed it. I actually just received 3 emails in a row without opening the app and manually syncing.

disabling battery optimization for gmail can help with the problem, but even that doesn't get rid of it. however i as well noticed gmail notifications being more reliable with th update currently being rolled out.
I just sent a test email and i got it immediately. Maybe it's working...
Its been better for me today. Its still spotty though.
Mine is spotty also. I often miss gmail for hours so today I updated the gmail app. Now my gear 2 no longer gets gmail notifications! It gets the others but gmail is most important. Really pisses me off. I checked settings and gmail is still checked under gear notifications and gear still allowed under security and gmail notifications and sync still checked and working.
I just installed inbox and that is working perfectly. I have updated my Gmail and it still isn't working for me.
I am using an unread counter that only supports gmail (novalauncher/teslaunread), i read the email in Inbox but Gmail still thinks there is an unread mail HOURS later. Annoying.
Also spotty. The one that I tested worked fine, but a different account didn't update until many hours later.
Wow, glad it's not just me. Been driving me crazy today trying all sorts of things to fix this. Will keep an eye on this here for updates.
I have an LG G3.
No improvement here on my LG G3 running Marshmallow. Is this fixed for the rest of you?
My moto and sammy both still have the problem.
This has been a recognized issue for a couple months now. Google announced on 10-Feb that they were rolling out a fix server-side (i.e. not a system update or app update) that should be reached globally within a week. Since then, however, there has not been one single report of consistent Gmail/Inbox notifications. It's gotten quite ridiculous.

Did some more testing and found what's causing me the issue, but it's very strange.
I cleared data and cache in gmail and started fresh. Everything works fine. As soon as I change days to sync globally to more than the default 60 or if I got into manage labels and change the inbox specific sync to ALL (which is what I want, I only have about 70 messages in there), gmail stops syncing completely. If i go into accounts->gmail, the last sync time never updates again after I change the days to sync in gmail.
Anyone else want to test this?
My sync is only 30 days but I still have the problem

If I change to to something else and then back to 30, it doesn't fix it. Have you cleared gmail data and cache and confirmed it doesn't sync without touching any gmail settings?
