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.
Is anyone aware of or experiencing any problems with the android market?
I'm using a Stock UK Orange ROM. 25mb free internal space. Using Android market I can go through all the motions and tap install I get the message saying my item will be downloaded. The "downloading" bar appears and is animated, This happened last night. This morning the item had downloaded.
I thought that was the end of it but as I write this I've been waiting an hour for a clock widget to download.
Have also tried via appbrain but experience the same problem.
I can watch youtube videos and browse so I am online. Is there a hidden setting I might have misconfigured? or anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Since you have 25MB free, that is peculiar. Typically downloads get stuck in queue when space is low -- in which case you are getting a notification in the Notification Bar that you are "Getting Low on Empty Storage Space". In those cases remedy of course is to uninstall a few apps you rarely use. After you do that, the "Low on Storage Space" icon will clear, and the instant that it does, all of the downloads you had started -- but were all stuck in queue -- will now proceed -- instantly.
But in your case i don't know. Are you for certain NOT getting that icon notification? (just checking that's all)... Then this probably won't solve your case at all. THIS POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7663366&postcount=17
No worries.
The only thing in my notification bar is the icon for advanced task killer, and 1 Gmail notification.
I've uninstalled a couple more apps but that still hasn't forced a download. This has only happened in the past couple of days and it crossed my mind that google might have been tinkering, but i've read nothing of the sort.
Just been to the shop and back and in those 5 mins Tajam (the clock widget from my OP) has downloaded... I've just added a pinball game, but it hasn't downloaded...
Is it at all possible that an application has reserved space? As in I might have 25mb free but some app has reserved some of the free space on my handset?
Nobody else had this issue then?
Any thoughts on a solution? would a hard reset solve this?
Try to:
- start your google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
- restart the google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
usually, after the 2nd or third time you do that, the download-process begins...
edit: you should notice that the log-in-process of the google-talk-app takes some time, seeing the spinning wheel-symbol on the top-right... just ignore it, start the app, wait 5 seconds and sign-out, repeat...
Thanks for the reply but I dont have google talk installed.
I'm thinking a hard reset might be my only option but it's a pain, and now difficult to download any backup software.
Found this thread http://www.google.tm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
Started by a google employee, subsequently locked. Seems to be a recurring problem
I've the same issue, cancel/abort the download and start it again fixes the issue
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey,
I suffered from the same issue...
I literally tried every in the book but to no avail!
Eventually I had to add a file manager into a rom in order to manually download the apps from the internet and then install them onto my desire!
This is a repeat issue with the Android OS. It does go away after a while... Give it a day or two and it'll just literally stop with the issues.
Good luck friend
I had this issue last week and tried every trick I could to get things working again, even a hard/factory reset didn't work. From reviewing the thread you quoted from the Google support forums I got the impression that it was a Google account problem of some sort so before doing a second factory reset I changed from @googlemail to @gmail and for whatever reason after the hard reset this has done the trick.
Yes, I am having the same problem too and only started couple days ago... I can't download anything at the moment
Still no market downloads
After the froyo update for me, there's still no way
to update or download apps from the market.
I tried all the options now known:
Gtalk
Cache clearing
Factory reset
Etc.
What to do next???
I checked a few places and this seems to be a common problem. One thread on the market forums was started by a google employee, 400+ replies later the thread was marked as answered (which it clearly wasnt) Now the forums are becoming littered with posts on this same problem.
I've managed to sort it out. Settings>apps>market>clear cache>force close market>soft reset seemed to force any pending downloads.
But that wasnt really a solution, so had to export contacts to gmail. Change my googlemail account to a gmail account (as prompted when you login to Gmail in the UK.... then I had to perform a hard reset and make my Gmail account the primary google account on my handset.
Very annoying, and I'm in disbelief that google are SO aware of this and dont seem to be offering any help.
But for the time being it's working again. The suggestion on the market help forums is that the UK market is having problems with @googlemail accounts.
Well i never had the googlemail adress and i'm not from the UK, so there's more to
it then only that specific problem....
Pls advice....
None of the great developers here has an idea what's happening here or maybe a solution to this issue????
Pls help out guys?
Guys please advice, i'm just a bit desperate with this issue.
Nothing seems te help and google stays as silent that i lost faith they are going
to fix this....
Does this mean my DESIRE became useless??!??!?!
It's a bit temperamental to be honest, I left it at 'Starting Download' and sometimes it would start after a few hours and another time after about a day. Never used to be like this before. Google need to seriously take a look at this problem.
Sadly my downloads all just end in "failed" within 5 secs....
Had Problems downloading for a month
Hi All,
I have had this problem for about a month now. Never starts to download for me except if I do a factory reset then it downloads some apps between 3 and 22 apps before it hangs again. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy s I9000. Unlocked. I tried different SIM cards from different carriers and removing the SD memory. I can download from different places on the web like Samsung or one of the web sites that have the apps just not the market.
Has anyone else been having this problem for that long?
Regards

Same here. I usually leave the downloads "hanging" around. After 10 min. to a few hours, the downloads start.
Same with "Chrome to phone". Both apps use the GTalk service to send commands to the phone. Google broke something.
Hi,
I tried searching and i could not find anything about it... thus... i created this thread.
My EVO is on stock ROM, i have only had it 2 weeks. I have literally zero apps aside from Google Maps. Since Thursday (Aug 26th) i have been unable to sync my Facebook Notifications via the pre installed Facebook app that comes on the HTC EVO. The error message has happened every single time since then, and i figured it was an issue with the network but a few of my friends have EVOs and have no such issue.
Message is as follows
Cannot retrieve the notifications. Please try again later. [601 /Parser Error: Unexpected '-' at position 64.]

Anyway, i have tried to clear the data and cache, unsync and re sync, and i tried to uninstall the facebook app via the market, but then realized it is not in my Download list nor is it something i can seem to find via the market. It is the pre installed Facebook app and HTC sense.
Please let me know if you guys have any solutions. It is driving me nuts as a lot of co workers keep me up to date via Facebook.
Thanks,
Carl
Have you updated the Facebook app to version 1.3.2? Or are you still on the version which came with the phone?
This is what confuses me. I have yet to update it as I assumed it would do that on its own. Now I am totally new to android so forgive my ignorance, but is the one in the market an update for the one that comes on the evo or a totally diff one?
edit: Well it seems to be a different one as it does not show the one I have in my downloaded market stuff.

The version in the market may not show up as an update if you currently have the version which came with the phone. But I think if you install it it will tell you it is replacing a currently installed version.
What Facebook do u guys use? I liked how the pre installed one worked but I did the update and hate it...
I'm having the exact same problem. I'll follow this thread and hope that somebody will find a soulution.

I stopped having the error when i updated to version 1.3.2
Check to make sure you have the most current version. However, the new version is awful (IMHO), eventually it will get better...
Hope this helps!
Carl,
This error most often happens when access to the site is being blocked from a firewall. Try checking your WiFi router. Even if you have a connection, certain outbound connections could be refused.
I am a regular user of the MyYearbook site and mobile app (social networking, a bit like Facebook).
I also use to Adfree Android to get block ads, which worked pretty well until a while ago.
On the latest MYB app update (and the previous one actually) they changed the settings or perhaps the ad provider, and now Adfree shows a massive full-screen "Webpage not available" message at the top of my chatter (like FB feed). This is in stark contrast to the small unobtrusive white box which is the way it used to look.
No problem I thought, I'll just go back to my backup of the old version. But now this old version of the app nags me to update every time I use it - very annoying!
I know this is probably an obscure problem, and not a whole lot of people use MYB so it's possible no-one else here has experienced the problem. But can anyone suggest a fix? Either for the nagging in the old app, or the big full-screen "Webpage not available" message when I use the new app?
Revert > Uninstall Adfree
One way to avoid this problem
Yeah, I've pretty much come to the same conclusion :-/ I think I've investigated everything else...
ok, now I have another problem, what happens is that my Microsoft Kin can not watch videos on youtube, I get a message saying: This video can not play on this phone, do not know why this is the problem??

Please don't post like this.
It's a little annoying, and quite frankly, it won't really help with getting your question answered. I understand you just want this problem fixed, so it's fine, but please try to refrain from doing it in the future. Have you tried turning your phone on/off, and have you also tried clearing the browser's temporary files (Do so by navigating to settings, browser, and press "delete temporary files")
And please try to use the search function. This problem has already been addressed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000127&highlight=youtube
and also make sure over wifi, I never works for me over 3G for some reason.
ok, if everything you say if what you say ok stupid
