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.

Tried All those options but nothing worked and my whole life is on facebook

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?

Is there anyway to delet the main gmail related to apps?

I was setting up my wifes phone and I signed my email up first to get some tools to tweak her phone. Well now her phone is setup and her email is setup. I went to sync options to delet my email from there and its saying I need to restart the phone, some applications need that email to work? Is there a work around for this so I can remove that account.
I stoped syncing for that account for now, but now she cant sync here google callander instead it will only allow the option to sync mine. I dont want her events showing up on my phone and I am sure she dont want mine showing up on her phone lol. Basicly I am the main email on her phone and I dont want it that way. Any ideas would be great thanks.
Thanks, Thomas

I believe the only way to delete it without resetting is to delete the /data/system/accounts.db
Keep in mind this will delete all the accounts from accounts & sync, and always nandroid backup first.

If I do this will I need to reinstall that file again? Or will I just simply need to re assign a new email account?

Wiping data and cache will bring the phone back to the first time after you installed the last rom. Like the first time you booted it.

Male sure to sign her up for a Gmail account.

Sorry just checked this post, no you will not have to reinstall. You just have to setup the accounts again.

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.

Aaron, see other post on this issue. My problem fixed itself, not sure if you will be as lucky.

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.
HTC Sensation.

OP's directions worked for me as well.
HTC Evo 4G running CM9.

Now how do I clear up the 942 error.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

It happened to me because I bought the phone used and the person forgot to disable that feature in Accounts & Sync.
What I did to make it work is to Downgrade to a 5.0 Android custom ROM (or official if you can, I couldn't, I don't know how and I'm not S-Off), and then sign in your account there, let your gmail account sync and then flash a 5.1 custom or official Rom from the same developer over it without wiping anything. Then you should be ok. Let me know if it works.
You could also try to reset your password and then wait 72 hours.

Has this been resolved yet? I have exactly the same problem..
