Anyone else having issues loging into facebook for htc sync?
I am getting "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?" accross multiple different ROMs...
You can test by going through setup on a new ROM or just deleting the Facebook for HTC Sense account and tring to add back...
Yeah, facebook for HTC Sense is totally hosed right now and has been for a few days. There are many people (if not all Eris users even if they haven't noticed) experiencing this issue.
okay so I have tested the following HTC based ROMs by completing a full wipe and goining through a clean setup and when I try to sign into HTC facebook for Sense I get the same error with each
- jcases origional plainjane
- EvilEris
- xtrROM
- xtrSENSE
- Plain_JaneT2 V2.0
Can someone else confrim?
Yeah im getting the same error, on Kaos Froyo v24 and Aloysius Snow. This is a problem =/
I just got off the phone with HTC. They said that they are well aware of the sync issues and are trying to resolve them. I was informed to kinda just sit tight and wait till its worked out. : ) Just thought Id share : )

Found this over on HTC Sync's Facebook page. Just thought I'd let everyone know. Seems to be HTC-wide. This was an EVO user on Friday.
Zach, I'm running xtrROM3.0.3 and facebook is syncing just fine for me. All of my accounts(mail, facebook and last.fm) sync properly. I did update my radio to the new 2.42.01.04.27 a few days ago. I dont know if that has anything to do with it, though my reception did increase by 10dbm!!

FYI The issues DOES NOT effect you if you are already connected... it is when you first setup your accounts and sync via HTCfacebook (gennerally durring the setup process).
After completing a NAND that you can restore back to; you should be able to reporduce the issue by removing the account and trying to add back...
Im running Senseable 3.0 and i no longer receive facebook updates via Facebook for HTC Sync. Other than that i think everything is fine with it. Im about to do a nand and deleting that account and see what happenss.
*Edit* Yup don't delete your fb for HTC sync account.

The issues affects everyone. What these people are seeing is the previously sync'd pictures prior to the server issues. If you go the updates page and look at the day of the last sync'd status updates, you'll see they are days old. Nothing current.
I had to delete mine to correct another problem last night and it has not worked today. However it will sync my facebook profile pic to "my contact card"
I just received updates via htc facebook for sense. Can someone else confirm the sync problem is fixed?

New to the site. I joined to see what I can possibly do wit my Evo, and had this problem recently too. I confirm, things seem fixed. All my contacts are syncing with FB for Sense.
All - looks like HTC Sense and facebook are back online! Sync and initial account signin when flashing a ROM are working for me...

Good to hear its finally back. That's the first time I've seen a problem like that htc side (assuming its was a problem on their end) since I've had this phone. Plenty of problems facebook side but no surprise there.

Solved??!!
The first time you install
Facebook for Android
you put in your username and password then push next.
So put them in, and push next.
THEN
don't go to the next screen.
PRESS 'BACK'.
Sync your Contacts.
TRY THIS!
AAAAaaannnnd... that's a fail. I chose 'Sync All' and it still didn't show up. It looked promising though!

awesome, working for me now
Hate blur... hate blur, want it completely gone. I've considered the idea of installing 3rd party contacts/dialer combo and then sequentially ripping out every f'n blur apk...
thoughts?
how about using all the AOSP stuff?
either way I want blur to die NOW, i got a nandroid backup that I can softbrick and reload so let's do this shiiit!
I have go dialer and contacts and it works beautiful but still pulls up blur when it's all said and done. Roms are coming...be patient

Why does everyone hate Blur? It's not even that bad. Looks a lot better on this than the older versions. One thing I don't like about it, is the Facebook integration. Messes up with the regular Facebook app, so I can't send messages or use chat..

Because it's bull crap that it's impregnated in every portion of this phone's interface.

this is why. and all that crap wastes a ton of space. I want only the ability to copy contacts from fecebook one at a time when needed. It's fecebook, I don't need that crap polluting my contacts.
I mean, as soon as a few more people get in my google+ circles I won't need any ability to integrate fecebook into my experience, leaving me able to completely rid myself of the useless integration that will waste working memory and contribute to killing my battery.
forgive me for being one of those nerds who went to an OPEN SOURCE platform. I buy a "computerphone" based on specs, not software
as far as blur, if you like that kinda crap, great! but I'm sure motorola has made many dirty rags polishing that bloated turd.
i want to use the launcher of my choice and AOSP dialer/contacts/messaging. I dont wanna waste bandwidth cause I travel alot and sometimes I'm stuck with very very slow data. (the fact that contacts uses data every time I scroll through it just to update pictures is useless and total bullshiiit)
i have some downtime to spend in the airport coming up, so I need something to do. if anyone has found a good way to do this, or at least get halfway there (particularly making the AOSP apps work, and which versions from where to use.) I've not seen anyone have success yet and I've spent days reading post after post after post without finding someone who says "f yeah it works, here's how ya do it, blah blah"
I'm on stock / rooted 4.5.91 for ATT Atrix. Prior to the GB update I was having daily issues with my exchange email, where I would get a "Connection Error" and only removing the account, rebooting, and re-adding the account would get it temporarily resolved. It would work for 1-2 days, then it would have the same issue happen again. Unchecking the "verify certificates" box seemed to help, but again only temporarily.
Now that I'm on GB I've only seen it once, but I'm still frustrated by it. My work email is important (if it was absolutely critical, I'd suck it up an get a BB), and I'm seriously annoyed by connection issues.
I'd like to try the AOSP email.apk and stock Android exchange sync setup, but not sure how to do that from where I am now. I assume it is harder than removing the existing email.apk and installing a new one.
I know the Aura ROM has the AOSP email built in, but not quite ready to go down the unlocked bootloader path. I'd like to keep my warranty in case the AOSP email doesn't work and I need to return the Atrix.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question, but are you sure it's not your corpo's fault? We run 4 exchange servers here and we have had no complaints about failed connections or anything of the sort, whether it's android, iPhone or otherwise. I have an Atrix and had it set up with my email since day one and I have had no issues at all.

Nope, not sure. But I do know numerous iOS and other Android users (mostly HTC phones, a few OG Droids) that don't have this issue.
I work at a small company so we have a hosted exchange service, and I had our IT guy remove and re-add the Activesync service for my account. That seemed to help for a day, but then back to the same problem.
I'd be willing to bet it is something that is incompatible between the Atrix and the exchange environment, but I've got limited access / visibility to that, and a variety of data points that do not have issues, so I'm trying this route.
Thanks for the input. If you have suggestions on things I can ask my provider to check / uncheck, I'm open.
Thus doesn't actually answer your question but I got tired of dealing with that from rom to rom so I just bought "enhanced email" from the market. Its $10 and gets around the pin requirement if you want to.
Sent from my Att Atrix 4g unlocked.
I had this start on my Captivate running Serendipity VII a few days ago and it is now completely shut down, no emails getting through. I use Enhanced Email as my email program. Very interested in discovering a solution.
on my BB, it took 30+ mins or even an hour to get emails. My exchange works perfectly on my Atrix, as it did on my Inspire. Its probably your phone
Agreed EE is awesome. We use it on 14 different phones in my office.
Last time I tried to get rid of Corporate Sync I kept getting FC's afterwards.
I recommend using the exchange app included in CM roms. It's based on AOSP but has some mods like email signature, and on your atrix the account will show up next to the google accounts in settings menu.
go download a CM zip from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/nexus-one and then extract system/app/email.apk to your phone and install it. then just add the account in settings.
I had issues with company exchange servers and went to Moxier Mail, they have a free 7 day trial then for $19.00 you get it all, contacts, calendar, email, tasks.....stays connected except when I changed my password (every 60 days). Then I had to remove and reload, but that was only issue....very reliable.....

Thanks, I'll try that.
Would I replace the email.apk with the CM one, or just install it in addition?
In addition

Appreciate the help. Got the file extracted then realized I had one more question - do I need to change the name, or is it ok to have 2 "email.apk" applications?
I realize it is a total noob question, but figure better to ask than to screw something up.
you can just install it. the blur version is titled BlurEmail.apk. if a conflict were to arise - it would ask you to overwrite. the system identifies apps differently so just renaming it wont change how it installs.
ex. Google+ shows up as "Google+" but the system seems and calls on com.google.android.apps.plus
Hi! I'm new to this forum, I just got a replacement X2 from Verizon after receiving Several Fascinates in the mail and the issue not being resolved...
:::::::::::::::EDIT::::::::::::
My Bad, it never fails as soon as you ask a question to a public forum OR tell your spouse something doesn't work..... It magically fixes itself.
I have no idea what happened but all the accounts that are supposed to be on the phone from the beginning randomly appeared..... Are things always this confusing with the X2?
:::::::::::::::EDIT::::::::::::
Anyways, on to my question, I'm playing with it right now stock before I go and root it I like to be familiar with the phone, but I cannot for the life of me get Facebook to sync my contacts. And I'm not talking about the merging and all that, I don't mind merging/joining manually, but my Facebook contacts won't populate or even give the option, I've uninstalled and re-installed a couple times already, but I read somewhere about a "Stock" Facebook app/acct, my only option is to download it from the market.. This phone seems pretty cool but even though it is still android it is a lot different from the fascinate.
Thank You for any help!
Danielle
You and the rest of us...
I know the facebook that comes pr-installed on the phone will ad every contact if you sign in under the social messaging app..crazy why the market facebook has no option

Yea agreed Droid X2 is very Flaky.
I have problems with My Verizon Mobile ,
Backup Assistant , apps disappearing & reappearing
icons disappearing . Verizon CS & Tech is a great source
of misinformation like spinning a roulette wheel .
No help at all unless you like being more confused ?
Aaanywayyy that a whole other topic sorry for the rant.
I have traced the disappearing apps & icons.
To when i plug phone into computer via usb
to load music etc. I then noticed that it was always
the same apps & icons . The only thing they all
have in common is I had moved them to sd card
moved back to phone no more disappearing act.
Iam new to this phone also just 2 weeks so still
learning . Hope this info will be of some value
2U.
I've searched until I'm blue in the face on this and am sorry if i've missed it somewhere, but with any version of ShoStock2 ICS (including the newest 2.2.2) I can't get exchange to show emails newer than 3 weeks ago. Older one's show up fine. Also I can send emails and they will come through on the PC, but never on the phone. I've flashed back to ShoStock 1.9.4 gingerbread, and exchange works flawlessly. I have tried connecting on wifi and over the air, both with the same results. I would very much appreciate any insight you all might have.
Edit: Forgot to mention, exchange works fine on AOKP and Phone-Bricker ICS roms.
No one has any thoughts or help on this?
Hi,
I've installed everything yesterday night. Everything including the exchange servers are working fine on my end. Could it be your setting by any chance?
I didn't use any other kernel, I used cherrypicker.
Exchange seems to be working fine at this end.
Running 2.2.2 and using exchange, no issues here. No to be a smart arse but you did wipe first right?

I always wipe data, cache, and dalvik twice before flashing a new ROM (thanks to the advice of the great group of people on XDA forums), and this is the only one that I've had any issue getting exchange to play nice with. It sets up fine and syncs all of my emails except newer than 3 weeks ago. I've ran at least 10 different ROM's including two other ICS versions with no issue on this. I've tried 4 different ShoStock2 ICS versions beginning all the way back to the the RC1 release, all with this same result. I've tried using different kernels with different releases, removing and resetting the exchange acount, rebooting, connecting on wifi and HSPA+, swapped the email apk, held my breath and stood on my head. Something is missing somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Just to be certain that the problem still exists, I downloaded AOKP and ShoStock2 latest versions last night to try this again. I wiped everything twice prior to flashing and got the same results. Exchange loads every email from today-on with AOKP, but none newer that 3 weeks on ShoStock2. I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but surely someone else has some thought on this. The only thing I have not tried is running a kernel cleaning script. Does anyone think this might help?
The reason why I removed email/exchange apk from my rom was this exactly.
No idea why, but if included with the rom it will just causes problems so I added it as an addon in the kitchen.
I would clear cache/force stop both apps, remove them, then install them again by just grabbing them from the zip file.

Thanks for that reply! At least someone knows I'm not crazy. (I was starting to think I was). I actually ran your ROM a few releases ago, before kitchen was in it and it was pretty smooth. I may have to give it another go. Thanks again for the reply my friend!
Problem solved.
Well, I solved the problem (sort of). I said to hell with fighting to get the exchange working on ShoStock2, and installed LiLChris06's Phone-Bricker 2.5 ROM. This thing is freaking sweet and exchange works like a champ. I've been running this ROM hard now for about two hours with no force-closes, no lag, and the battery seems to be holding up incredibly.
Thanks LiLChris06!!!
Just FYI as i ran into similar problems with OMEGA and SHOStock2 roms, a single exhchange account seemed to run fine, but when i started adding the rest, i had similar issues with it not syncing new mail, and randomly NOT CONNECT to the exchange server in question. everything would setup fine, but eventually the exchange servers would just not update anymore after a couple hours.
if i went into the accounts/sync option in settings, then it would say it synced and would even give a current time, but would never display any new mail. if i went to "refresh" from within the mail app, the account would try to refresh, give an old date of the last refresh and then give the error: "connection error [exchange server name]"
i have not yet tried LilChris's option though, will try that once i get some extra time.

Are you saying that if you included it with the ROM it wouldn't work but if you installed it after the ROM was installed it would work fine?

Yea sounds crazy but that's how it worked for many others.
In the early releases when I included I got complaints left and right, when I added it as an addon it worked flawless for everyone.
i can attest to that (so far)..
i would get exchange issues within 1 hour almost certainly..
its been almost a full 20 hours now and i havent had a single exchange hiccup yet.
one thing that might be worth noting also, i think the app is different that LiLChris uses vs what some of the other devs are using.
i have exchange 2003, 2007, 2010 servers that i connect to..
the options for connecting to 2003 and 2010 (as well as 2007) are the same in the email app that LiLChris uses, such as syncing mail, contacts, calendar (only). 2007 allows syncing of tasks, and i know 2010 allows syncing of tasks and sms, which the email app should detect.
i dont sync tasks or sms, so not a big deal to me, but i did wonder if the actual email apps were different, or different versions, or maybe one was just modded? *shrugs*.
