Running tazzpatriot's new sense gingerbread Rom and am running into an odd issue with friendstream app.
The widget works fine. But I can't get the app itself to update. It appears to sync when I open it but never actually displays any status updates or anything. Has anyone else experienced this?

Guess what?
I found your post by doing a google search, so I have an unrooted HTC Evo Shift with the latest Sense 2.1 update that just came out a couple of days ago and I can't get any status from Facebook to show up in Friendstream either. The really crazy thing is it syncs the contacts and links them in the People app.
BUT, the really odd thing is that the official Facebook app is doing the same thing, wont show any status updates.
I have cleared data and cache on all three apps (Facebook, Friendstream, and Friendstream widget) with no luck seeing status in Friendstream or Facebook. I also took a shot at uninstalling the Facebook update, but that didn't work either. I even took a shot at removing the Friendstream app authorization on my Facebook account and readding it and that didn't even work.
I also have an iPad with the official iOS Facebook app and it doesn't show anything when I select the 'Status Updates' feed. Only when I select 'News Feed' or 'More Recent' as the feed in the iOS app does it show stuff.
The only thing I can think of is something must be wrong with my Facebook account since nothing seems to be working right as far as the 'Status Updates' feed.
same happens for me running Gin-Sen-Tazz i just sync my contacts with facebook for htc sense and use the facebook for android app for everything else (status updates, chat, messages etc..)
same problem for me on a Thunderbolt and im on bamf 2.1. its very frustrating since I just linked all my contacts to FB for HTC Sense and the FriendStream widget works but once you go into the app, no updates!!!
Works fine now on eris using the newest gin-sen-tazz.

I updated the facebook app and I noticed that it's not synching my contacts anymore. I tried to go on the account & sync section of the settings and it doesn't allow me to add a facebook account. The option is there but when I press it nothing happens.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it?
I have had the same problem with CyanogenMod for a while.
I uninstalled Facebook, and installed it from market again. And voila!
However, to uninstall it i think you need to be rooted
no problem for that, I just installed cyanogenmod too thanks for the advice. this is a major problem though for whoever is not rooted....
I had the same problem. (search my threads).....
all I did was log off facebook app and log back into facebook app and it seems to be working fine now.
the facebook app isnt really consistent in general, maybe its just me, but it never alerts me even tho the notifications are ste to "on" and its not as robust as the iphone app but its all good it will happen sooner or later
So I updated to Serendipity 6.3 last night because Facebook was acting weird, and after doing so, Facebook still can't sync at all.
Using the actual sync under "Accounts & Sync" Facebook, says "Sync Error" and "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Though, after re-flashing, still the same problem.
Now using Sync in the Facebook App, it says it "successfully synced" but yet, Half of my contacts are missing pictures.
Anyone have any ideas? I really need this, for both my calendar and Facebook Phone book.
the default facebook sync is better than the app sync.
i had the error message too. i think it wasnt liking some of the tibu settings restoring after flash.
remove both the accounts from setttings > accounts and sync.
then add it back. the default one is the rounder corners with lighter colors logo.

Are folks still having issues with this?
I have long since solved my contacts syncing issues with the integrated fb account, but I do have issues with the calendar sync.
I've tried to force syncs on calendar and it always fails, but a day or so later, it works. Is facebook calendar sync restricted to a 24-hour period?
I'm having the same issue...my facebook calendar had not successfully sync'd since June 6....
Contacts are fine, just no calendar. I've tried the same solutions a others in this thread, but still no positive results.
Anyone else found a new solution? Does anyone know what the root problem is?
Fyi - I'm running Cog 4.5.1 with no other issues.

Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

Use quickpic, 100x better gallery and free

I cant add my facebook account to my phone to allow it to sync with my contacts...
I have recently reverted my phone back to stock from using roms for about 4 months. I am able to add my Gmail account no problem but then i click on the facebook account and it reverts back to the account page. I was able to add my facebook account before but no luck anymore... any ideas
I figured this is the place to ask it!
Thankyou.
I have enabled apps in the facebook page as well under privacy settings and it still does nothing and help would be greatly appreciated .
Cheers
Facebook for android is the worst app I have ever installed, when is not a thing is other, alpha versions of other apps I have installed have less bugs than it...
you may need to update the facebook app before you can add your facebook account.
Facebook for android is terrible.
Might I recommend Friend Caster? Designed much better, with popup notifications and it will sync all your contacts flawlessly. It's on the market.
Give it a whirl. You won't be sorry.

Hello guys
As it is written on the thread name I just cant get my Calendar entries to show on Blinkfeed.
Furthermore my eMails from my Gmail account arent showing up on the lockscreen despite having it setted as "Productivity"
I hope some can help me, becaue those issues really bug me a lot.
Thanks
Are you using the stock mail and calendar apps? Blinkfeed and the productivity lock screen only pull data from the stock apps.

Ok I use Gmail for my Mail account.That explains the lockscreen issue.thanks for that!
Is it right that with Android 4.2 we can use lockscreen widgets,so i can customize with Gmail?
In case of the calendar issue I am using the stock app,which was preloaded on the HTC One. Any more suggestions why it doesnt show up?

for the first question that'll depend. android 4.2.2 stock comes with lockscreen widgets. whether HTC decides to add them to their lockscreen setup is a completely other issue lols.
as for your second issue. check the blinkfeed topics and services section. scroll to the left and see what services you have toggled on. you have to have calendar on for it to show. it shows fine for me. also it does not pre-show events you have coming up only when the event is happening at that moment. so i have my calendar setup for my classes. say i have class at 3pm. blinkfeed will not tell me i have a class coming up at 3pm if i update it at 1pm. it will show up though when i update my blinkfeed around 3:20pm though. An interesting tid bit is if you have way too many topics and facebook stuff your calendar blinkfeed will get pushed down and you wont see it. (IE it wont have priority space on the blinkfeed area)
hopefully that helps explain it a bit.

Thanks for answering, but it still doesn't work. I guess it's my blinkfeed,which is bugged somehow and I can't see a way to get in working despite trying hard. Maybe I just have to live with this and adapt to it or wait for an update to fix this bug

Are you on a stock ROM? Or custom? I'm on ordroid 5.0.0 and it works fine. Are you sure your Google calendars are updating? Do you see stuff when you go into the calendar app?

It seems that Blinkfeed only show the calendar entries that is due for today. Try adding something in your calender for today and reboot your phone. It should show then.
Hey guys,
I know that this isn't a new topic, but I having some problems with my HTC ONE.
My calendar doesn't show the events, events is in it`s data base, but still not showing in application.
When i use search i can found my events.
My HTC is updated to android 4.3
I've tried to reconfigure the accounts, but have no effect.
I using the default application, that came with the phone.
Someone knows what I need to do for correct this issue?
Below some screenshots.
Same issue
I have "Contacts Birthday's and Events" calendar subscribed in my Gmail and I maintain the birthday dates of all my contacts in Gmail [format: December DD, YYYY]. In HTC calendar [Accounts] i checked the Google option and in that i checked "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option, which takes the birthdays dates from my Gmail contacts and sets reminders and notifications. But I am not able to see any notifications from the calendar.
Now, i have another option in HTC Calendar Accounts called "People (Birthdays & Anniversaries)" and i have no idea where this option came from and from where it takes the birthday data from but it displays the birthdays. The annoying thing is when an event is about to occur this People thing displays 4 reminders for the same event, which is irritating.
I want to know where this People option came from and from where its taking the data and why the hell cant i see the Gmail contacts birthdays through the "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option??? :crying:
