I gave my mum my xperia x8 a few years ago. and even when I had it, facebook just wouldn't work at all. it just says connection lost tap to retry and nothing happens.
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing all data etc also tried different apk's and it still does the same to this day.
does anyone know why? my mum is having to use the browser version which is also rubbish.
the phone is running stock android 2.1 and it is rooted.
I'm not using Facebook, but I would presume that it should be working properly being one of the stock apps you received with your phone. Why it doesn't work, I wouldn't know. Might be that some of the newer updates screwed it up.
Some solutions come to mind:
1. Try a Facebook replacement app - I've seen people mention FriendCaster on numerous occasions, but there are others.
2. Try a hard reset - reflash the stock ROM.
3. Flash a newer ROM - something along the lines of 2.2 or 2.3.
My recommendation would be that you flash a newer ROM along with installing a replacement app.
Hi,
Facebook app itself is having issue.. its very slow and i faced same problem. Its better to try other replacement apps.
Me too,my facebook keep force close and freeze all time,now im using friedcaster too.
Use your Facebook account by przrzeglądarkę Opera Mobile or Opera Mini,i just do the standard android 2.1 from sony.

Hope this isn't already covered somewhere on the forums, I've had a search but couldn't see anything. I've noticed since the last couple of Cyan updates that my gmail app doesn't seem to be working correctly. if i read a mail on my phone it's not marked as read on the web version and the number of unread mails still includes these on the phone. eg if i get three new mails and read them all on my phone, wait a while and get one more message, the app shows 4 unread mails in the statusd bar but only one in the app itself. if i look in the web version of gmail, all 4 are marked as unread. not exactly earth shattering, but a bit annoying.
the more serious problem is that i can't seem to send emails from my phone anymore. as soon as i hit send (either new mail of reply) it just sits there saying 'sending...' until i get bored and delete it 3 days later. the messages definitely don't get sent as i've tried tesating to myself.
Had a look arou nd the internet and I've seen people with mails showing as 'sending...' but actually being sent. that i could cope with, but this is beginning to get on my wick. I've had to temporarily more to the normal email app - works fine from there, but gmail is much nicer.
any ideas?
FYI I'm on a UK Vodafone HTC Magic 32B running Cyanogen 4.2.5 - last resort is going to be a full wipe and install from the ground up, but I don't want to have to re-download all my apps (not on SD as I've only got a class 2 16gb)
Well if you dont wanna do a full wipe, which would be required for the the other solution found, you can flash my theme template over here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584521
which replaces the google apps, which should hopefully fix it
please make a nandroid backup before flashing just in case
thanks mate, i'll give it a whirl.
Tell us if it works! I hope it does lol
hmm... weirdly it just made it worse
tried a few reboots to make sure i wasn't going nuts, but since the update gmail won't even open. no FC or anything the screen fades out in the groovy eclair way and then goes straight back to the desktop. thought it might be something to do with not being sync'd (which i think it might be) but the sync menu iten does nothing. click on it and it doesn't drop to the sub-menu.
just restoring my backup now. thanks for the help though - any other ideas?
think a fix_permissions might help after flashing your template? completely forgot to have a go. the lack of error messages or FCs makes me think it probably won't
No if it didnt work dont reflash it. can you pull a logcat after attempting to send an email? i have a feeling its due to not resolving google.com as ive seen in many logcats.
hmm. tried again with a fix permissions and the same problem again. maybe chucking it out of a window will help... bloomin' technology...
thanks, i'll try a logcat later on (work pc at the mo, so can't track it from there)
well I've solved it in a more or less painless way. used backup for root users, wiped and installed 4.2.5 from scratch and restored my backup. gmail is now working properly. there seems to be a bit of an issue with backup for root users where some apps are showing as installed on the market but aren't on my handset, so i can't actually install them again (uninstall and open are both greyed out on the market app). only a couple of them though and nothing as vital as gmail, so i'll put up with it i think
Yes that was the actual solution, reflashing the ADP image and cyan. Using backup for root users is good and that market problem has been there for a while relating to cyans rom. I dont remember seeing a solution for it. I just realized that you may have been able to just restore your data.img from your nandroid after reflashing ADP and cyan and been able to preserve your data.
thanks. might give that a go tonight. as it is, it's only taskiller full, bump and bloo that I'm missing, so i've installed taskiller lite, blabber and ignored bump. ity seems whenever they get an update in the market it reinstalls correctly (that's how i got my calendar back), so i'm just waiting for them to get updated. was thinking about pulling the apks out of my nandroid image and then intalling them into the corrected version.
Hey guys!
I'm running the new froyo (rel:11 themed) and I am still having the same problem I have always had with android. On a real android phone one would go to settings> accounts and sync> add account> facebook. This would add my facebook contacts and should technically sync the profile pictures of my current contacts. The problem is when I click on "facebook", it just kicks me back to the main accounts and sync page. I really just want to update my current contacts with their current facebook pics. I know there are apps for it, but they are all pretty bad. Plus I should be able to just do it on my phone without any other apps. Let me know what the deal is and if you guys have have any suggestions.
Thanks
no one knows why?
people probably know why, they have probably answered it atleast a few times
the forum search is a beautiful thing.
if its anything like it was in eclair for some reason facebook only likes to sync with a certain phone (i think its the Dream). something needs to be changed for it to work K_K did this in his eclair build i dont think anybody has in Froyo yet
FYI
This may have already been posted but the new facebook app in the market will sync correctly with Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.
Can't remember where, but I know I saw it in the XDA Developers forums.
Risk about sync with facebook is your contact database gets huge.
Some people have reported sizes of 50+MB for contacts, because of pictures, etc.
You might not want to do that... just stick with the google contacts.
i notice that it runs without any problems in cyanogen, but fresh froyo is still missing this feature, even after installing latest facebook 1.3.2! you can select adding a facebook account, but nothing will happen. and the possibility to sync after installing facebook and setting it up, is missing too. any ideas anyone?
already checked the forum and searches... no solution helped (clearing app-cache,e.g.)

Get the Google apps zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722801
Then try adding the GooglePartnerSetup.apk to the install archive (use 7-zip) and reinstall.
No idea if it works but Fresh Froyo doesn't have all the Google Apps apk's unlike the CyanogenMod port and that one sounds like it could have something to do with it.
...starting! will post results...
used the latest un-odexed fresh froyo and added googlepartnersetup.apk... didnt do the trick. next step: adding all the google apps 2 see, if there is anything working then.
not working either... so its not depending on one of googles apks from that package.
Any luck with this? Having the same problem.
have you got the latest Facebook app from the market. It was suppose to fix the issue
yep, latest facebook doent do the trick either... no solution found yet!
Hi everyone!
I have searched,,, and not found an answer..
I am trying to update Titanium Back and Beautiful Widgets but the downloading status bar on my Nexus One does not change.
My Nexus One is rooted and runs a Modaco Rom which I only updated last week..
I deleted Titanium Backup and thought I would re-boot and then download again, but when I access the Market, the two apps are still trying to download.
I try force close but nothing resolves the problem.
Any advice much appreciated!

I think the market (on Google's end) was having problems earlier. I decided to do a clean wipe of my phone last night and couldn't get the market to work at all, download unsuccessful, download paused, stuck at starting download. Found lots of threads on Google Support Forums, and a long one in the Galaxy S forum here on XDA. People were suggesting everything from clearing cache to removing and reinserting sim cards.
Bottom line, it seems to be working perfectly now, haven't had a failed download in the last couple hours. Don't know if Google is having market issues or not but it doesn't seem to be phone/rom dependent.
Thanks!
I still have the same problem.
I downloaded Titanium Back via a website and not the Market. It is the latest version, and I also paid, via the Market for the Pro licence.
But I still get the same problem with the Market continually trying to download both Titanium Backup and Beautiful Widgets.
edit - tried deleting data for the Market App, and on the third try, with re-boot, problem has resolved.
Unfortunately, icons in some of my GDE screens have disappeared.

try to clear market cache go to applications and then go to market application and press clear cache.
Try factory reset if all fails.

I tried that. Hell, I even re-flashed a rom. O_O
thanks for the replies guys.
i asked the local samsung store, and they said it's a bug from the market.
so we must wait till the new version of market are released.
Do the following if ur phone is rooted.
1 clean market cache
2 run market enabler and select t mobile
3 run market the problem should be resolved.

well im glad i found this thread cause i been having this problem i have noticed it when its on 3g every once in a while but it happens most when its on wifi i have reset my tablet to stock like 3 times and have cleared the cache many other times. i was starting to think that my tablet was messed up or broke...
I think its a server side issue from google. I had this issue as well with stoxk and custom rom. Reflashing did nothing clearing cache. I did change my csc and spoofed to a german operator when my issue got magically fixed on its own.
I agree with above. If I remember correctly, this started since the last update.
ok quick question non android related, has anyone been having problems with gmail while using a pc, like it takes for ever to load or it stays loading? I ask cause I started having my market mess up and now my gmail keeps loading even thouth its loaded. I hope I made sense lol im alsmost falling asleep while I type...

it happens to me at times, mostly at work, so im thinking it's a firewall (at work) issue.. what i do is simply login to gmail (using chrome) and once the reloading loop happens, i open gmail in a new tab.
>a little thanks goes a looooong way<
ok cool thanks i just hope google fixes all these issues soon
Hi,
I have searched these forums, and others, regarding this problem but it would seem none of the problems people have when sending from Gmail is what I'm experiencing.
First off I have an Incredible S running Android Revolution HD™ 1.1.7 (can't find any issues from other people using this ROM).
Ok, so in the Gmail app I go to compose email, create it etc etc, when I go to send it (either by hitting the send button on the screen, or from Menu > Send), the send button greys out but that is it. It doesn't go to the outbox, it doesn't say 'sending' in red letters, it literally does nothing.
All other problems I have seen have been the above two, but I haven't seen a problem where it literally does nothing. After selecting send, I have left it for a good 20 minutes before and it's still not sent (the email was a couple of words, no attachments etc).
Any ideas? I have tried all the recommended 'fixes' mentioned when searching for the other problems (i.e. clear cache, data, checked sync settings, etc etc).
Thanks.
Seems to be a weird issue indeed.
have you tried uninstalling and re installing the gmail app?
it is available in the market.
if that doesn't work & assuming you have correctly installed the rom, i would believe you could try wiping everything and re-installing ARHD.
Try clearing data for Gmail App @ Settings>Applications>Manage Applications
I have already cleared data and cache many times, and I don't seem to have the ability to uninstall it, I'm guessing due to the ROM?

Are you still having this issue? I have the same problem. And it's the same from CM7 to EVO Classic. Not sure what's going on with it. Did you ever find a solution?

I've had this problem for a couple years...I had it on my HTC Desire and on my HTC Sensation. On my Sony Tablet it works just fine.
Obviously I've full wiped numerous times and tried umpteen ROMs. So strange.
