Instead of setting up facebook as part of motoblur, I simply wanted to install facebook app and let it sync with my contacts like I had it on Nexus One.
However, when I go into accounts, I see 2 facebook icons, one as part of motoblur and other under "Other accounts".
Only the motoblur facebook account setup works, the other one does absolutely nothing. Tapping on it yields no results.
Is this intended behavior or am I missing something?
Don't know much about this yet. I'm currently using the installed app that's on the Atrix, will let you know more further, just bought the phone last nite.
Alright, thanks.
Im not sure whether yours has a problem or not but I've been using the Android app since day one and it has worked fine. I haven't used the motoblur facebook but I imagine it's not too different.
I just didn't like how the motoblur facebook app synced and the regular facebook app doesnt set up appropriately. I guess I'll try uninstalling and going it again.
Did you stated you installed the actual facebook app? and setup the atrix facebook app before hand?
ok I just installed the FACEBOOK APP THROUGH ANDROID MARKET, tried to SIGN IN, and stated "AN ERROR OCCURED......" but when i signed in a few times, it let me in, it could be a server issues, but I'm in and working. Try to sign in a couple times.

Did that, it worked, but now it doesn't show up under my accounts within settings. This is definitely broken.
Yea that is broken then, try to uninstall and reinstall the program.

Hey all,
I don't know if any of you have encountered this problem yet but I decided to download the Facebook for Windows Mobile App from the Marketplace and I logged in and everything worked fine untill I opened the app up later on to find it will not update, I tried on WIFI and 3G etc Nothing happens it starts to refresh (eg the rotating loading icon appeared) and then stops and it doesn't actually refresh.
Is there a way to go back to the original app? or is it all around better to use the Opera web version?
Thanks very much for your time!

I'm running Dutty CDLC v15 and it's only started happening since yesterday. Maybe something wrong with Facebook? It works if you log out and log back in again though.
I uninstalled and reinstalled to see if it would work and it did, didn't think to try logging out to be honest ha-ha I think it may have something to do with the program. I will try and see what either Facebook or Microsoft says and hope they make a new update that actually works.
Thanks for the reply =]
Facebook itself is having problems. Been reading all over Twitter, people saying Facebook is down. Don't know how the site is,but the app definitely isn't working for me.
I posted about this over in general, was told the same thing, logging in and out seems to work but you have to log in and out every time you want to update.....
its a facebook side error though that's the bottom line......

HMM .. I found a different facebook APP called XDA FACEBOOK .. it doesnt do all the things the regular facebook app does and doesnt show photos yet but it DOES refresh so I wonder whats going on...
hmmm that weird.... maybe the fb app has gone the same way as the myspace app...... right down the plughole......
Same thing's happened to me. Anyone got a reason as to why? Or is it just related to the facebook crash?
I did a hard reset and installed FB first...Refresh works...after SPB backup (Restore)...didn´t Refresh...i guess it´s no FB and no Marketplace problem...
Here´s the solution...
Delete the "Facebook" and "FacebookInfo" files in the main dir of your mobile...start Facebook, login again...and it works...

only seems to work once.
then it's back to the 'no refresh' issue
Experiencing the same issue here, looking forward to a solution for this one.
Yeah I have not been able to get facebook to connect on my HD2 for a week now. I can still upload photos to facebook via the uploader, just cant update the app info... anyone know and app that works lol
....same here no updates possible since few days :-(
can anyone confirm if this advice is of any help?...
have you ever changed your facebook email address? check that the contact address in account settings matches your new email. i found that though i could login with my new email the old email address was still showing as contact address. i also reinstalled the facebook app so could also have been that which started it working again for me.
In my case I'm having problems logging in.
Regardless if I tick the "remember settings" square it keeps asking me to re-login with all of my credentials even after I hadn't shut off the phone... which didn't happen when I had the old Facebook Mobile version...

Hi, I'm the developer of the XDAFacebook app, and I can say that yes FB was down last week. The reason my app still worked was because the error that was breaking everyone had an easy work-around and I was able to release an update that worked.
I would say if you are not happy with the Microsoft app, please check mine out. It is still in early beta stages but will quickly become a full mobile client. Any feedback would be wonderful!
here is the link to the dev thread:

+1 same problem
I don't think we'll EVER see a fix. This app was developed by MS & not facebook, like on Android or Apple. So I think it's safe to say MS has abandoned it in favor of their WP7 facebook app.
I've been using joe coolish's xda facebook app. It works great, just doesn't have all the bells & whistles yet, but will.
Other than that I do use tweetdeck & the facebook app when I switch over to android, both of those are good, especially tweetdeck, you can update twitter, facebook, foursqaure & more all at once.
I'm unable to add my facebook account to tweetdeck. It just goes to the browser, shows "Loading" screen for a second or two and then jumps back to the Account screen.
It used to work before but now I can't get it to work. I've tried deleting cache of tweetdeck and browser, reinstalling tweetdeck, uninstall-restart-install, even tried it in three different countries and it doesn't work
Anyone else experiencing this?
My facebook widget is stuck at "refreshing statuses" or "updating is not available now". Googled that but couldn't find the reason.

Try this:
On the computer turn off platform apps and then deactivate FB account;
On the phone logout from FB app and delete FB cache.
On the computer reactivate FB account.
On the phone login into FB app.
It worked for me. I don't know if all steps are needed. If interested in platform apps you may try skipping the turn off step.
Used to have this problem, clear cache on phone's browser did the trick.

Don't know why. But I has been using several accounts on my phones and computers through wifi. I have rooted my streak and tried a lot of apps in market, but unintalled a lot too.
My xda app once worked well, but now it gets force closed every time I tried to post a new topic.
Any clue? Feeling very unsafe...

How did you come to the conclusion that your email was hacked? Sounds to me like you downloaded a bunch of things and maybe some of them didn't install/uninstall properly and now you're getting FC due to instability. Reset to factory defaults to see if it solves it.
I could not log to one of my email account several days ago. I used "forgot my password" and changed my pass. Today my major gmail account couldn't be logged in again. This kind of things haven't happened for years. It must be either my phone or my computer or my wifi is hacked.
Your phone, maybe? I had the same problem with my emails, XDA app and a few other forum apps. My passwords would not work on the phone but worked fine on the computer. I had to log out of the forums with my PC before I could log on with the phone.
I was trying to back up my sms of the other unrooted phone before I found my account was hacked. I managed to change my password again and then tried to install an app called "sms backup+". The
first comment of the app is now about email account being hacked after intalling it. I uninstalled this app on my streak immediately. But I couldn't believe this is the reason. It shouldn't have been so obvious, right?

I have one friend from Facebook that just won't sync with my phone. I have removed her, added her back, resynced and nothing. I have restored my device twice, and still nothing. I have removed Facebook from my phone, I have done everything that I can think of. I have used two programs (SyncMyPix + HeartofAngel), but her profile just won't show up in either program to sync to my phone.
All of my fb friends are linked according to their Google contacts in my address book. The contact in question is linked. HTC suggested I sign out of fb, clear everything under Facebook in applications, reboot the phone, then sign back in. However, HTC sense doesn't always sync. So I use a program from heartofangel.com and an app on my phone called SyncMyPics. When I launch and sync using that latter on my phone, everyone syncs, except for this particular fb friend. When I look at the results, she's not even listed in those results. When I use the Google contacts program from heartofangel.com, every fb friend populates. When I scroll down to hers, she's there, when given the option to re-link her Google contact to facebook contact, it doesn't appear she's a friend of mine on Facebook. I've removed the Google contacts and syncmypics apps on Facebook, then relaunched the apps, then allowed permission again. Nothing works. Does this make any sense?
She is definitely a friend of mine on fb. She has not unfriended me. She shares her email on fb, but not her phone #. She's showing up as Google and Facebook (linked together) in my address book. It's just with other syncing apps/programs, she's not showing up with those. It's the weirdest thing.
What on earth could this be? Any ideas?
I think its a Facebook problem, I've been having this problem with my cousins Facebook page since i had a samsung vibrant, i've since then gave up, i never found a resolution

I am beginning to wonder that myself. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing with my phone. I guess I am a little anal about that. LOL! I want them all to sync over. I am posting my problem on here to the "google contacts sync" forum and see if the owner has a suggestion.
I had similar problems when I first set up my Amaze with my wife's profile. Don't remember exactly what fixed it, but I think it was after the third or fourth time I cleared data and caches in both the Facebook app, and the Facebook for HTC Sense app, and sense then everyone is syncing fine. Maybe it had to do with the order I cleared them, I'm afraid I just don't remember.
I have found a solution but you won't like it...it took me a while to figure this out...so basically if you set up your google account before your facebook, facebook will not sync correctly....since android 2.x won't let us delete the current google account (ICS will allow this), you have to reset to factory settings, then setup your facebook account DO NOT SETUP google when prompted in the start wizard. wait an hour or so until all pics and things are downloaded and everything is synced up...then go ahead and setup google account so you can use the market, but make sure you are not syncing google contacts yet, update the facebook app through the market, (this way you will get high quality pics from facebook, if you have an older facebook app on your rom, you will get lower quality pics until you update to the new facebook app), finally you can sync your google contacts etc after about an hour or so (if you have sense) you will get a bunch of matched or linked contacts showing up ....this should help...
any questions let me know
WOW! Now THAT was some good advice. I am going to do that here now and see what happens. I have installed Friendster, and this one FB friend STILL doesn't show up in that app either. I am wondering if this has something to do with the FB API. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing to my phone. It won't hurt to do a factory reset.
Thank you for that info.

I did exactly what you suggested. I actually have 389 FB friends and all 389 FB friends are now downloaded to my phone. However, I am getting some with their profile picture and some without. See attachment. I have cleared the data from both FB and FB for HTC SENSE now 3 times. But not all of the profile pictures are downloading. Perhaps I need to go ahead and sign in to my gmail account and download the newest FB app, then resync? Any suggestions would be awesome!

wait for all the pictures to download give it some time a couple of hours...then if not all are downloaded sign into the market and get the latest facebook app...when you're signing into market, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT SYNCING CONTACTS ITS GOING TO START TO SYNC RIGHT AWAY, STOP IT IMMEDIATELY. AND MAKE SURE AUTO SYNC IS OFF. once you downloaded the new facebook app, simply sync again. and if this doesn't work, delete the facebook account under sync (not the app itself) and add the facbook for htc sync again...this should do it.
And the picture quality is also.very very low..
When I call some1 is see only pixels.

thats because facbeooks native app uses 96 x 96 pics, don't even download facebook app, use the facbook for sense app, under sync section to sync the contacts and pics first, it'll give you much higher quality...unless you're running NRGZ rom, he has replaced the original Facebook for Sense app with the stock facebook, in which case you have to push an apk from another rom to your phone and resync. check out nrgz threads, someone just told me to do this recently.
Hi guys,
I just noticed recently that my DNA is giving me this error under accounts and sync. It seems like this may be a wide spread issue for all types of Android phones, but I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this. The strange this is that it looks like everything is synced properly, and even when I drill down into the actual items that are syncing, there are no errors. I'm not sure if it is the rom that I am on (UKB), but I would really like to clear it up if possible. I have tried deleting the data in Apps for the various items listed, but this does not seem to help. I even booted into recovery and cleared the cache, to no avail.
Thanks guys,
Steve
Alright, I just did a full wipe, installed UKB 1.3 with Cubed stock kernel, and I am still getting that sync error. Is anyone else seeing this?
I have had this issue on CODIS, UKB and the battery plus ROM
It syncs everything fine, but it does show a red sync icon and say its experiencing problems. I've just learned to deal with it as everything still works fine.
--removing and re-adding my google account does nothing
--unchecking each option (calendar, contacts, gmail etc.) one by one to see if a particular causes the problem,...does nothing to help
Just wanted to letyou know you are not the only one with the issue.
I'm having the issue where the gmail app syncs fine but if I read/delete emails and go back to my computer, all the changes I did on my phone didn't sync with my computer browser. Anyone know how to fix that?

Ah, thanks for the replies guys. At least I'm not the only one . At least it's not in your face screaming at you, so I can learn to ignore it.
I'm having the sync issues myself, and I'm even on full stock ROM. Just wanted to let you know. My account is on two-step authentication - are other people also using two-step? Common denominator?

I believe that is the problem. I had an error in Google Internet sync. I fixed it by going to Google dashboard on my computer and clicking "Websites authorized to access the account." Go down to Application Specific Passwords.
Install the Google Authenticator on the DNA. Then register it by generating a new application specific 12 digit password. The Authenticator app will then generate the six digit codes you'll need when asked to be able to sync your bookmarks in the browser or sign in the Google search homepage. Anyway it worked for me.
For me it was Facebook calendar that couldn't sync. I unchecked it and the error went away. It looks like it can be any part of any of your accounts that will trigger that message. If you go into each one, it will show which one is having the problem.
