Just registered here (currently at college, so I'm using an IP linked to them, I'll be on my own network in a few hours or so most likely). Trying to edit my profile and I'm getting this strange error:
"Our records show that you have already registered under the name of cosyizumi. If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here."
Anyone else suffering this issue right now, or is this a known problem to combat spam accounts, because it seems like a pretty odd error to throw for this specific occasion (the CAPTCHA also keeps failing repeatedly while I'm typing this thread).
Currently using a recent Chrome stable on W10 LTSx, though I can't be bothered to check what version for now what is on here lol.

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.

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.

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.
Anyone else having problems? Haven't been able to connect for a couple of days now. No posts, notifications, updates etc.
Funny enough when I try to go via web it says ""access restricted bad (IP)" - associated with abusive behaviour. What's this? Any ideas?
Edit:
It appears what has happened is that due to Orange using Proxies to log into facebook the IP addy has been blacklisted. What I am guessing is that as this coincides with the Launch of Facebook places Facebook thinks that the IP is spamming it with multiple places simultaneously and as such blacklisted the IP.

So youve have restricted access for being abusive? Theres your answer. Can you log in on a computer?
Sent from my HTC Desire
Thanks for help.
Not aware I've been abusive! It's the Android/Sense apps that won't connect, and it was via the web on the phone that I got this message. Can't try the web from work as its a blocked site.
Have queried with Facebook and they say they'll get back to me.
I can't get it to work today either, it was last synchronized last night. Today neither friends stream or the Facebook app will connect

If you google this there are loads of people on the Orange UK network with the same problem (me included)
Not sure if/when it'll get fixed.
Forgot to say I am on Orange too. Aha...so that's where the problem lies. They're not having a good time what with the data outage a couple of weeks ago etc etc.

I can't seem to get any content from the touch Facebook page, it let's me sign in but that's all I see. No problem with the mobile page of the Facebook app. Im also able to load the touch page on my laptop and can access everything, so it seems there is something wrong when viewing the touch site on the desire. I'm on tmobile by the way.
I'm getting a weird pop up box with every click on xda-developers this morning.
The box pops up, saying I need to enter a user name and password for stage.myplaydirect.com
This happens for both firefox and IE.
Anyone else having this problem? Makes for a frustrating surfing experience. Only happens on the xda site. Reset computer, ran virus scan and came back clean.

Yes, me too using firefox. Really irritating and I hasten to add that I have not attempted to submit my real username and password incase it's a rather 'in your face' form of phishing.

I got the same problem on both firefox and IE, and only when browsing this forum. No other sites or forums cause this pop up and my virus checker came up empty as did a complete scan of my system.
That's why I'm pretty sure something from this site is generating it.
Good to know I'm not the only one. Google didn't shed any light on it either other than some sony myplaydirect program, which isn't installed on my computer and I had never heard of.
Same here stage.myplaydirect.com

Have same problem with my Nexus One, log on to "stage.myplaydirect.com" pops up every time i reach the XDA forum and only there.
But on my computer it does not???
I have it too! really annoying... is it a bug of xda?
i have same message on all pages on XDA using FF3.6 and IE8.
No viruses found by anti virus program
I think this was solved by Svetius, and was related to third party advert code.
FWIW, xda doesn't ask for your password in such a box, so don't type it into that box. And your XDA password never needs to be typed into a site other than xda-developers.com and iphone-developers.com (if you import your account there)
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else is getting this problem today or if it's just me.
I logged on this morning as I do everyday and when I tried replying to someone it told me I'm not logged in, so I typed in my details again and that same page continued to show until I shut my browser and opened another session. This let me log in but still when I try to reply to a post or even when I tried to view my control panel it logged me out and wouldn't allow me back in until I started a new browser session.
I've been monitoring it during my lunch time session and have had to close down and re-login multiple times but noticed also when looking through threads it was logging me out and in automatically from page to page.
I've tried both chrome and IE and both behave the same way. Thankfully I was able to post this so am hoping it stops doing it.
If it makes any difference I'm on the 2013 theme and I've never had this happen before today.
Thanks
I am using Firefox and I haven't seen that problem except at the very beginning of my time here last year, and then just a few times until it cleared up.

It seems when I have the "Remember me" box unchecked the problem arises but since ticking the box it isn't happening. I don't generally have remember me ticked while on work PC's but as said never happened before so hopefully just a glitch on my side.
Thanks
I am getting it too on my work PC (who knows what browser they use, it so filtered) but I also got that on my home PC (Firefox).
Frankly, it is making it unusable for me atm b/c I have to do all the steps you said above just to post. If I want to post multiple times in different threads, it can take more time to post the message than it did to type it. I've resorted to typing the message, then copying it and hitting post just to be kicked out, re-log in and clear caches/cookies and paste and post. It is a real PITA.
I've tried on 2010, 2013b and 2013b1024 just in case it was a theming issue. Am not having that problem on any other forums or outside internet sites that I have logged into but I have noticed it over the past two days, as well.

Did you try ticking "Remember me" when logging in as sorted it for me, I just had to remember to log out when I finished.
Well, let's see here.
Edit: No dice. Logged me out again. Tried it with Remember Me ticked and unticked.
Edit2: In fact, I just went to my tablet forums and it showed me as logged out. Then I clicked the XDA in the top corner to come back to this thread and it shows me as logged in. Must be ghosts in the machine.
Edit3: Now it is showing me as logged in right now, so I tried to go to the RC forums and got denied. Pulled up my phone forums in the Find Your Device (because I thought it might be something to do with my favorites/bookmarks) and it shows me as logged off. If I open the About XDA-Developers page, I am logged in.
Edit4: Sorry about these edits. I am only logged into THIS THREAD and not About XDA-Developers. I just got a PM and can't read it b/c it logs me out.
I've been experiencing this since Tuesday morning. Both in Chrome and Firefox. I've changed nothing and log in the same way as always. Happens when I try to reply and view my subscriptions. Tapatalk is the only way I can view and reply to anything right now.
Edit - this is happening both at home and work.

Same here guyz.... Have tried different browsers on different operating systems.... Same thing.... Anybody found the reason.... Or a solution?

This is happening to me too. I can get on once in every 100 attempts. I have tried everything, including changing browser, ip, computer, switching to xda 2010 and back, and ticking the remember me.
It's been happening to me for the last few days, I just ticked remember me, now I'm in for once!
The solution for this is to click the "Remember me" box when logging in. This is an issue that seems to have arisen due to a change in infrastructure on our end (I believe). It doesn't seem to impact all accounts however, just some of them.
If anyone has this issue after checking the "Remember me" box, please let me know.

Yes happening to me. If I clean everything in history of my browser, any browser, it logs me once. Immediately like I would post now it would log me out. It is happening in all the browsers with my account.
After getting logged out. When I again try to login, it would show a popup showing you are being logged in as nagpalkapil but would again not log e in and come out until I clean everything from history again including cookies etc. Has started happening for just last two days and was perfect before. Please help urgently on it.
Hi,
There seems to be an infuriating bug with the site. I keep getting captcha prompts despite entering the correct information.
I know this because if I enter incorrect information the I get a correct error message saying the Captcha didn't match.
However, if I enter correct data then I still get a form rejection with words to the effect that XDA adds a captcha for those with less than 10 posts.
This is a fairly major bug because there's no way for me to contact anyone, including site administrators.
Obviously the bug is intermittent.
captcha bug still here

No problem here, apparently. Can you give steps to replicate the problem?
We're using the industry-used reCaptcha. It's difficult to prevent spammers. I know it's frustrating sometimes, but it's a necessary evil to keep XDA free of spam.

So how do we get through this?
If you guys could provide some screenshots of you entering in the proper code and the system rejecting it, that would be helpful.
I've been testing this, sometimes I do get an incorrect code but usually the next time it is fine.
You can use the round 'reload' button to get a new one if it fails.
If you continually have a problem with it even though it is entered correctly, maybe let me know your IP, and what browser plugins you may use.
Hi
I tried to join this forum yonks ago and could not get past captcha so I hope you don't mind me using this post to say the new photo image is much easier than the joined together hard to read letters.
Some sites use a form of joining to defeat spammers requiring joiners to rotate image a number of times, randomized of course to the correct way up. As you can guess this requires a real human....rather than a fake human like me....giggles to pass the test.
I also found I could login via google account
Hope that helps someone
Also - no errors for me, but 11 rounds?!?
11 rounds of selecting images seems a bit excessive..?
And another 6 to post this message!
