Hi,
I have downloaded the latest Facebook app from the market for my wife to her phone and when I place the widget on a home screen the widget continually says "updating status".
If you tap the widget then it goes straight into facebook and shows all the required info, why doesn't the widget show the quick info on the widget, I have another phone HD2 with android and it continually updates the facebook status of friends.
I've cleared the cache on her phone but still it won't show status' on the widget only when you open it up, does anyone know how to solve this please?
Cheers
hi . if your wife's phone is a nexus it wont load any no matter what you do. it has something to do with syncing.google dropped support on that on nexus s phones.you also wont be able to sync your facebook contacts to show app in your phone contacts...
Try Friendcaster, way better then the official app..

I was spring cleaning my app settings on Facebook.com when I accidentally deleted the HTC Sense app that Friend Stream uses to post status updates, and for the Friend Stream widget to show all recent updates.
But now that I had removed the HTC Sense application, Friend Stream does not show any updates from Facebook, except for status updates that I create through Friend Stream and all updates that were posted to Friend Stream prior to removing the application from Facebook.
My first instinct was to reinstall HTC Sense to my Facebook account, but I noticed that after I made an update via the phone, HTC Sense is back on my application list. I checked the settings on Facebook, and all options are selected so on that end, everything should work. Through my phone I had removed the widget from my screen and added it back in, I have tried updating the information manually, and I have tried refreshing my "friends" which was an option in the full Friend Stream application on the Hero. I have also tried removing my sign in information for Facebook, and inputting it back into my phone.
What I have no tried is a factory reset on my phone, as I wanted to see if there was a solution that did not involve doing that.
Hi all
I am running stock Samsung Froyo 2.2.1 and somehow, SNS status of my contacts stopped working. It does not show if I create a shortcut on desktop, hovewer it shows in the Dialer app. I tried to re-join facebook and phone contacts, re-enable facebook sync with the samsung app and also with facebook app, nothing helping. The only thing not tried is removing the Facebook sync account and add it again. Any suggestions?
that wont help either im having the same problem i guess its messed up but i tried removing the account & adding it again still did nothing hope this answers ur question
damn... i expect you did not try to do hard reset too
nope didnt try that it seems like there fixing it but who knows how long that will last lol y did u try a hard reset??
Nah... I am saving that for real issues
I am having the same issue. The get friends screen simply says "No SNS accounts". This is a samsung galaxy s. I have a facebook account setup... On Android 2.1 I used to be able to select who to sync. I am now on 2.2.1

I had heard Facebook and Google having a falling out and Google disabling sync but I thought it would only affect official 2.3 firmwares. Might be a corporate rather than a phone issue

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.
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...

Hi
I have an HTC Heron with Android 2.1. I used to be able to sync and link the ocntacts on my phone with those who appear on Facebook. However, now I can't and it's very annoying. I have tried a few times to remove and reinstall the Android Facebook app but there is no syncing option within the app, although there should be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Look in (not in the app, but) the system settings -> accounts/ synchronization (or something similar)
Already tried that with no luck.
yeah you need to add facebook, just as above post Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook
If still no joy, there is a way of doing it the phonebook/contacts. There should be a little button to the far right on the same line as the persons names is and you can sync them that way. AFIK their is no way to do multiple persons so its one at a time
fairly simple download and install facebook for android apk from google market, add a facebook account via Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook, authenticate with your account details, select sync with existing contacts, download and install GO Contacts EX from google market.
This will offer to import facebook and sim accounts, click settings, and merge, select name - you can now merge all the duplicate contacts together
You can also add twitter accounts just add the twitter apk from the market , then follow the above steps
Thanks everyone for your help. I have tried removing and readding HTC Facebook Sense. No luck still. I then backed up my entire phone and did a factory reset - no change though. My Facebook widget did not return and I did still cannot get my Contacts to sync with the Facebook app downloaded from the Market, so I am in the same position as before.
All I want to do is to link some of my contacts who are on Facebook with their Facebook profile as I did before with no extra apps. Until very recently, I had the HTC Facebook widget, the Android Facebook widget and syncing contacts. Suddenly, my HTC Widget has mysteriously gone. I've written to HTC to see what they say.
had this problem recently, tried all the usual advice etc. only thing that worked was fcontactssync. you can uninstall it once you've linked everything.
hope this helps..
Thank you will try this next time. However, the day after I sent this message, weirdly my contacts all synced back again to Facebook! They hadn't done this for weeks! However, I did contact HTC and the Facebook for Android Developmer about my problem so maybe that haed something to do with this working again. Someone else I know haad the same problem which corrected on the same day as me!
