[Q] Facebook app not synching anymore?

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

[Q] Facebook notifications

I have everything in my sync and also configured in my facebook settings to receive the notifications....But so far, I just receive one time...Is set to sync every 30min...But it worked one time only....
I know that is a know issue, I just would like to know if someone know how to fix that...
I wanted to receive notifications when i have messages, comments and new requests....
I just configured everything in the facebook settings on my phone...is still not working....

You did know you can activate your phone through Facebook to receive sms notifications.
Sign into Facebook>Account>Account Settings>Mobile Tab
See if that will do what you want. Facebook sync is meh at best.

Facebook notification is badly broken across all android phones and there's no excuse for it

yeah i wish we had the iphones facebook notifications..the only good thing about the iphone lol

So still no fix for this? My notifications worked before the most recent Facebook app update. Way to go, Facebook.

If you use Hotmail for facebook, Just sync it via EAS in
Settings > Accounts and sync > Add account > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
You will get notifications via hotmail instantly.

Guys, I know this is an old thread but I want to see if someone can confirm that notifications work with this facebook apk.

It is a blacked out version which I honestly think is better without notifications, but I started getting them after installing. So if anyone could confirm it works for them, great! If not, I got lucky and at least we have a cooler looking version of facebook.

[Q] How to sync Facebook pics to Messaging :(

I noticed that even though i have Facebook set to sync with existing contacts, it doesn't sync the profile pictures of people with the messaging app. it does show the pictures in Contacts, but not messaging or phone calls. Is there anyway i can do this without any apps from the market? i wanna keep the stock messaging app. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Update on this, I've figured out how to sync my Facebook App with my contacts.
when i launch contacts it shows each persons Facebook Profile picture next to their name, however when I launch messaging or phone, I do not see these pictures, instead they are replaced with the default "No Picture" image
has anyone figured this out?

I would ask in the Rom q&a thread as this should be the normal behavior if the snsprovider etc are incorporated into the Rom. Haven't messed with any of their new stuff but I would assume they have the correct apks included.

Delete all your accounts. Use the integrated Facebook thing in Accounts to sync your Facebook account to your phone. Then install Facebook and Twitter app.
Remember to clear Samsung Mobile in your Facebook App page, otherwise it won't work properly.

Facebook notifications

Are facebook notifications working for everyone? i recently got my lumia 625 and before i was using android. I always use facebook messenger to chat with people, but it's really hard to do that now since i dont get any notifications and i have to turn on the facebook app everytime to see if i go a message and it's really annoying.

facebook app dont give notification
to get notification add facebook account in account settings and enable facebook messaging (also can enable in settings - application tab - messages)... after that in "Me" just turn available status...
also you can try apps like IM+ (IM+ Pro) or Messenger HD

facebook messenger not syncing

Hi all! I just got a new galaxy s6 and searched for a solution to my problem before posting this but couldnt find anything. Facebook messenger (the separate application) does not seem to want to sync completely. Messages sent and received on desktop are not seen at all on the messenger app but are seen in the regular facebook app when u navigate to the messeges tab. Also, messages sent on the messenger app appears when i look at it on the desktop. How can i fix this so the messenger application syncs correctly with facebook?
