[Q] Facebook Widget not updating - HTC One X

Hi Guys,
I may not be the only one in this situation so maybe someone found an answer to this.
I've recently upgraded to an HTC One X (Super amazing phone) from an Android converted HD2(brilliant phone).
The only problem I've noticed is that the Facebook widget does not update on my new One X as when i turn on my HD2 works perfectly and updates as it should. I can still see updates from days ago but when i go into the actual app i can clearly see status updates etc.
Anyone having the same problem? Is there any way to resolve it?
I apologize if this issue has been raised somewhere else on the forum.
Thanks

Am I the only one with this problem???

apparently so..is facebook the only widget that does not updates itself?

Looks that way...

Mine's not working either on my Sensation - worked for a day or so and now just shows the same update - app itself works fine

Dunno about Facebook, but the Twitter widget only updates when told to. Also, I'm trying to find out why Facebook and FB Messenger don't send me notifications.

I have the same problem with mine, but when using any non-HTC widget. For example, I use a couple Beautiful Widgets (the clock and the battery status) and both of them just get stuck after a while. A reset resolves it for a while, sometimes a day or more and sometimes only for a few hours but eventually the clock and the battery indicator just get stuck. I have tried other clocks and battery indicator widgets and they too get stuck, so does the stock google calendar widget. It seems like it might be a problem with sense.

I tried to use my friendstream widget to update my FB and Twitter profiles twice yesterday, it just didn't do anything at all... I had to go into each App and update from there, then later in the afternoon it worked fine...
Buggy I guess?

I'm not sure if this helps the facebook widget, but I have tried clearing the data and re-setting the widget up. Seems to keep things going for a good while.

Same problem. No issues on Nexus and had similar problem on Sensation so pretty sure it has something to do with Sense

mine is not working either. facebook, friends widget, etc. slow and must be done manually

I think it's something to do with processes in the background, whilst Twitter seems to actively update for me, Facebook doesn't. I always close Facebook because it eats battery like a fat kid in a donut shop. Facebook for HTC Sense doesn't exist anymore, what updates in the Facebook app's news feed is what you see in Friend Stream and they update at the same frequency.

I'm the same on my HOX . My Fb widget hasn't updated for a week. The app itself is fine. This behaviour is no different from when i had my Desire! I've tried many widgets but it's the functionality of the official widget I want.

Solved for me
Was having this problem with any non-HTC widget, including a battery widget, the google calendar widget, the beautiful clock/weather widget among them. What seems to work is unchcking the "Fast boot" option in the power settings. I did this yesterday and my widgets haven't stopped now for almost 24 hours.

That's the first thing I turn off and yet the Facebook widget will not update unless I reboot the phone

Has anyone found a solution to this? Can it be that Sense is acting up as usual and because of sense our widgets are not updating as they should?

No, not without installing HTC Sense first. You're probably better off with a Sense ROM like LeeDroids.
Try LauncherPro - If you like it, unlock the Plus features ($2.99)
The plus features have widgets that look and act like the Sense widgets, including:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Friends (Like FriendStream)
- Messaging
- People
- Bookmarks
It's great. And there are mods, so if you want to there's the possibility of making the widgets transparent, blue and so on.
I am not interested in all HTC Widgets. After reading different reviews I came to know that it eats battery and memory. However, I really liked the way HTC manages the Contacts. Mulitple social accounts linked at one place. I tried to find some decent app for that but didn't like any.

Use SuperVillian ROM.

Facebook Notification 2.2 / 2.3 ??

Does anyone have working Facebook notifications on either Froyo or GB ?
I seem to recall having it working on one of my recent ROMS (i've been flashing like mad recently)
But now I can't seem to get them working on either
SR4
CM7.0.2.1
Warm 2.2
OMFGB 1.2
I'm on CM7 right now, and under settings --> accounts and Sync --> my facebook account, I only see Sync Contacts, when I'm sure I sued to see Sync Live Feed, which is possible why I'm not getting Notifications ?
anyone else having issues ?
You're thinking of the Facebook for HTC Sense account. When you're running a sense ROM and login to facebook through HTC sense, then you get the option for 'Sync live feed'. The regular Facebook app doesn't have this option, so you need to be running a sense ROM. Out of the ones you mentioned i'd recommend SR4, but thats just me
But facebook in gingerbread should give me notifications from the app itself right?
I'm not getting any, even though I should
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
The notifications from the Facebook app both in gingerbread and froyo have always been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I will get my notifications, sometimes they will be delayed and sometimes they just won't show up at all. And it's not ROM or even phone specific, the inconsistency is across multiple ROMs and phones.

Nope lol. I've been google stalking it but can't find it anywhere.
I signed up.. Still waiting. I'm sure once they start sending out links for this it will be on here.
I also was able to sign up before it was closed. No word yet. Hope they're not c*ck blocking on us custom rom users.
I also missed the signups, but I hope I can get my hands on the beta version because the one they have in the market is killing me!
Any update

It's been released...
did u actually get a private beta version sent to you? 1.6 is available in the android market and its practically unchanged
Just the one that's on the Market, I guess 1.6 isn't the beta we are looking for.
Has anyone installed the update? Many comments in Market about problems since updating to this version...
Guess not! I have the update installed, no problems but there's nothing new.

Still loads of bugs,
Cant get into friends with a force close.
Messages broken, they don't sync properly.
Also to rub salt into the wound, the have FULL access to your text messages with no legitimate reason. Poor effort. Might have to find the 1.5.4 apk.
I'll keep my 1.5.1 Works good even with friends. Anything after was a nightmare.
Im using Cyanogen V7.1-RC1 and seems like LauncherPro doesnt sync my Facebook events to LauncherPro Calendar widget or normal Calendar like it used (Theres only option to sync contacts in settings) before.
Not sure if the problem occured with Nightly build 119 which I used before, but Im pretty sure it worked with that, and ofc. with Sense based roms.
Is the problem now with LauncherPro or with Cyanogen? Or maybe even with the Facebook app?
Argh!!! Its all changed!! Suddenly about 15 mins ago it seemed to completely reload and now looks "improved" For the record, I previously force closed and cleared cache / data so this is just weird.
Cons:
Friends still force closes though
Pros:
Filters on friend feed.. Yay, finally get rid of pages of stupid game updates.
Looks and feels smoother. (I'm on Wifi though)

If you are having problems I really suggest running a fix_permissions from RM or from terminal, it solves most of my problems for me. I updated a few days ago but it suddenly changed for me too. The new news feed is pretty nice and I love how I can like comments now. Pages seem to be so-so but better than nothing. Chat actually seems to be working!
I don't use launcherpro but if I'm not mistaken, it uses its own client completely separate from the official facebook app so the new update shouldn't be affecting anything.

Home Screen apps freeze?

I have had my One X for about a month now and have an issue that has developed recently. Every couple of days all of my home screen apps seem to freeze. Beautiful Widgets won't update the time. Facebook won't update. ScoreCenter won't update. If I open any of the apps, they work fine, but the widgets on the homescreen won't update until I restart the phone.
Any thoughts on a fix? Phone isn't rooted. and is running Android 4.0.3
Thanks!

Can you get the sense 4.1 update? It's android 4.0.4. My guess is that the launcher isn't updating your widgets. Also check your widget settings on the app.
