"Facebook Authentication Failed" - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep getting logged out of the Facebook app every few days, and I get a notification that says "Facebook Authentication Failed" and it takes me to the login page, where I have to decide what syncs and how often all over again.
Anyone else experiencing this, or have a clue as to why I'm having this problem?
The only reason I could think would cause this is if someone is trying to login to my account and keeps putting in the wrong password and maybe Facebook logs me out of everything...
Any clues?
Thanks!

Forgot to mention that I've already googled it and tried all the solutions (besides installing a different ROM or doing a a factory reset).
I'm on a stock ROM, for the record...

This could be coase of sync issue in samsung accounts. Try to disable syncing contacts and calendar under samsung accounts and then reboot. This might help.

Thanks, but I want them to sync....

It also happens after restoring Facebook from backup.
It happens everytime with me, after factory reset, when I restore facebook app+data
Just logout and login solve issue.

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.

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?

Market apps server error occurred after flashing LeeDroid 2.3d

I've flashed my HTC desired today with LeeDroid 2.3d on clockworkmod recovery. I do the full wipe before flashing.
Now the flashing is complete. When I first startup the fone, it ask me to add an account so I entering my Gmail account and got an error: Can't establish connection to server. I double checked the wifi and got the browser surfing web without any problem, so I guess the wifi connection is ok.
Then I googled, and use a trick to login to Gmail account through YouTube apps. It works out and I have my Gmail account now.
The problem is, when I open the market app, it keeps saying: "A server error occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen". I cleared the cache, reboot, reflash, and it still gets error.
Would you please help me to work out please. I can't installed any apps now
Thank you in advanced.
Try adding another gmail account, make one up, doesnt matter.
Add it in the accounts section, reboot and your market should work.

Thank you for your answer, but I already tried that. Not work
Im pretty sure its due to your Gmail account not being properly activated. I had the same problem when installing an older rom, had no connectivity as there was no 3G or WiFi and the Market place didnt work. The only way I know of to remove the standard account is with a "factory reset" or, wipe and reinstall the rom. I take it this was working correctly before you installed LeeDroId?

Yes everything was working correctly before I flashed Leedroid.
PS: I did a factory reset, and now I can add a Gmail account now. Thank you a lot!

[Q] Cleared data from Peep now cant log back in

So last night my wife asked if FriendStream on my phone had any tweets in it. It did but hers had not updated for over a day. I opened Peep and hit refresh and waited for it to update did this a few times and the latest it would get was still over 24 hours old.
Having seem similar problems before I cleared the cache of FriendStream its widget and Peep, Still wouldn't update so I cleared their data and that's where it went wrong.
Opened Peep and it had to the login boxes greyed out and a button saying logout, so I did and then tried to login I get Unable to sign in.
"You entered an incorrect username or password".
I have tried rebooting a few times and adding the account back in Accounts and Sync same problem, tried my account same problem, tried my wife's account on my phone and it logs in fine.
I have tried checking/unchecking SSL makes no difference, I know this happened a while back when Twitter changed there login API but it seems I broke something clearing Peeps data without removing the account in accounts and sync or it was broken already and that's why it would update and I brought the login problem to the surface.
If this was a normal app I would try and reinstall it but now I don't know what to do.
1) Can someone with a stock ROM confirm Peep is working and updating. My Desire has LeeDroid with a slightly newer Peep.
2) I have extracted htctwitter.apk from the Modaco ROM can you install this and have it overwrite the installed Peep on a stock un-rooted phone?
3) Any suggestions apart from do a factory reset? and if a factory reset is done any educated guesses if it will help?
4) Does a factory reset mean you have to OTA again or is the OTA written into the image when its applied?
Thanks for any help, seems I broke the wifes most used feature of the phone Not a good idea on my part.
Snowdan.
Turns out Peep version 1.00.0061.26XXXX that ships with stock T-Mobile phones no longer works with twitter, T-Mobile are aware and talking to HTC about an OTA to fix this.

facebook & DROPBOX ask for passwords

Im on 2.3.3 MIKGROM and both facebook & dropbox apps keep asking for passwords every few days. I can log-in to the app and it will be find for a few days and then a few days later when I click on the app, I am presented with the login box.
On facebook, it knows my email address as the username and has that filled in, but it needs my password.
on DROPBOX, it is asking if I am a new user or already have an account.
what could be causing this and how do I resolve?
Thanks...

you might wanna try fixing permissions then cache/dalvik wipe worst comes to worst you probably got a bad dl try full wipe and re install rom. also its way worth it to completely wipes sd content and let the rom build the files back up for you.

I dont think it is the ROM at all or an permissions. I did a google search and other people have the same login issue with the facebook app. Dropbox told me they will fix the login issue in the next version of dropbox (2.1)
if anyone knows a fix for facebook, let me know ... it appears after a rebook a lot of times....

[Q] How to Reenable Google Account Auto-Sync?

Hi guys,
I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, but I've been searching all over the internet(s) and can't seem to fix the problem. I flashed Liquid JB a few days ago, and other than this sync issue, everything has been going well. From what I've gathered, this is an issue linked to restoring Google information through Titanium, instead of letting the phone sync on its own.
If this is simply "factory reset and begin anew," or flash a different ROM, that's okay with me; however, I'm just curious as to why I can't enable auto-sync on either my Google account or my FB account.
Am I on the right track? Any one have information on what's going on?
I think it's more likely a ROM issue. I've tried some ROMs where it works and some where it hasn't

Make sure you flashed the gaaps package. I've never used liquid but there have been a few times where I've been wtf I have no contact info and I had forgot to flash the gaaps. You can just flash them at your current state right now it won't harm anything.
As far as fb goes I use haxsync to link fb to my contacts so I'm not sure on that one.

Before doing a factory reset I would try wiping days from Google Services Framework and from the Play Store. Reboot, then sign back in to the Play Store...

Try removing and re-adding your Google account via Settings > Accounts.
