Anyone else?

Now that I updated, I have 2 facebook accounts in my accounts tab in settings.
Also, I can use the app, but when I click things it just takes me to the mobile facebook page in the browser. I can do that on my own!

I clicked don't sync as i feared that would happen. I did read on the sync page that u can at anytime change ur setting for sync.
Also read the engadget review comments and seen that most will just bring u to the browser. Pointless update to me.
Does ur.phone at the same as before.

Facebook still hasn't implemented global notifications, which makes this update completely worthless. The UI update is nice, but I'd rather have functionality at this point (coming from a Blackberry that is archaic compared to media usage.. I find this a bit ironic).
The sync feature is hit and miss as well. You will find two options in your sync options for FB now. One of them, even if left off, is a placeholder for your log in information for the app. Turning the sync on will just load another set of linked contacts, most likely slowing down Samsung's OS even more. I checked it out and then removed all of the links by turning it off (nice touch, FB). The feature will be nice for people who load a stock 2.2 ROM on their phone (when available).

useless and horrible update, read the thread about it:

I updated before I read this thread and now facebook is killing my battery.

But what about the contact sync issue?
I had mine to sync every 2 hours. Each time it would sync'd, it added another link to the contact. So, after 6 hours, I had 3 more links to my contacts that had Facebook.
I turned the sync off in the Facebook app, and used the sync with the phone. I have a Captivate and for some reason it has two different Facebook options in the account sync settings which do different things.

FB for android is horrible... man, I thought FB for Blackberry was bad.

Has anyone else noticed that on the News Feed it doesn't even show 1/3 of the posts? Also, why does it take you to your browser when you click on any link to a notification or comment in the app?

I ended up turning on SMS notifications for facebook because the Android FB UI is garbage
not only that, it synced my contacts so many times i had 8-10 seperate listings in my contact list for everyone in my phonebook that has facebook.
so i removed that using Titanium and im good to go.

Does FB synchronize photos for you guys? I'm talking to friends with other androids and they say it does... not so for me. Wondering if its the Captivate or my settings.
Also, when you click on "View Profile" when looking at a contact does it take you to their profile or yours? When I click it it takes me to my profile instead of the person's.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S - Can't join contacts

Hi Guys,
I have a strange problem with my sgs.
Whenever I try to manually Join two contacts (for example someones facebook and corporate account), they wont join.
Here is what happens:
I open a contact named "XXX", click on Join contact, find the contact I want to join it with (facebook profile YYY for example) and click on it. Phone tells me contacts joined, but they are not. Contacts with matching names have been joined automaticly
Anybody?

I've got the same problem now too... you figure this out?

So do I. Did either of u figure it out? Pls respond.

i had this problem but i couldnt join my facebook contacts to the contacts on my sim after i installed a new rom - i had to import the contacts from my sim to my phone first before i could join them

my contacts are on the phone itself and still its not working..

Hi guys, had this two or three times. I'm pretty sure it's caused by uninstalling some system apps like task manager, social hub etc.
Never found a way to fix it, other than wipe system and data + reflash.
Have you deleted social hub or other sns related apps? You could try to fix the problem by reinstalling them.

I think this must be a problem with the developers.
Initially i didn't have this probelm but as soon as i ugraded the firmware and the option changed form 'link contacts' to 'join contact' the problems started. I hope that someone figures this out as there seems to be no other way to use the facebook pictures.

I've got it!!
So, I've figured this out. It's tedious, but it works. Go into the original contact. Where it says their name, retype it exactly as it is typed in the other contact that you would like to link it with. Once you get to the end of the name, a pop-up should come up underneath the name. Click on it to link the contacts. If it is already exactly the same, all you have to do is hit the space bar at the end of the name. This should also bring up the pop-up. Once the contacts are linked, you can change the name back to what you originally had it as. Like I said, long and tedious, but at least it works. Good luck!!

Agenda widget taking a long time to load

Hey guys,
I was wondering, if anyone else has experienced this.
I use the HTC Calendar Agenda widget on one of my home screens, and sometimes it seems to never load entires. The calendar also does this at this the same time. The loading icon appears, but not entries ever appear. Anyone else got this problem?
Thanks

Lots of views, so I assume that no one else has had this problem? Any ideas for a solution.

I have had this problem aswell. I noticed a few times that it done it when the sync icon was displayed.
Will monitor this to see if it only happens when the handset is syncing.

Just seen my handset starting to sync again so i opened the Calendar and it has stopped at the Loading... screen again. So looks like it is waiting for the sync to finish before showing the agenda.
Is this the same with your handset?

Ok sync now finished. As soon as it finished the agenda displayed instantly.

I will need to check if it only happens when the phone is syncing or not. Thanks for the info though.

Hey guys, I will see if I can replicate and fix this problem. I can think of a few reasons it might happen so hopefully I can squeeze a fix into the next release.

I am confused. The next release of what exactly?
I am simply using the HTC Agenda widget, so I don't see how you can fix it?

Lol, sorry, I thought you meant Android Agenda Widget
I think it is still a bug in AAW so I will try and fix it anyways

I'm still getting problems with this if anyone can help?

i had this problem too, i deleted the calenda data and let it redownload events from gmail and now its is fine

Cool. Thanks mate. Is there a fast way of deleting all the data? Still fairly new to Android

I think the way to do it would be to goto your Account & Sync options and remove and re-add your google account.
Unless there is another way

actually the way i did it was go into settings, applications, find the calendar and select clear data
then just wait till it syncs to gmail and downloads all your events again

Just to update, i done this and all seems to be working fine for now.
My Facebook birthdays and events disappeared also and wouldn't come back, so i cleared my Facebook for HTC Sense data also and went through the setup wizard for Facebook again. After sync they all appeared again fine.
So far calendar is running smooth. Fingers crossed it continues.

[Q] Cant add Facebook account

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.

[Q] Facebook App! AHHHHH!

Hello,
I hope this is in the right section and if not.... could a moderator move it for me! I am a noob to XDA. (I am not a noob to hacking and roming and such). With this said, I updated several friends phones with the newest Cyanogen 9 6/25. Of course, the Facebook app is not working with Google sync. It swirls like its trying and then stops. However, my friend got his to work, and all his facebook friends statuses, numbers and pictures all synced to his phone. I CANNOT understand how he did it and either does he! Ive tried several third party apps such as HAXsync and friendcaster... They all swirl like theyre trrying, and THEN stop and dont put ANY contacts in. What could have been the deal? Any help would be great.

I think Facebook sync should work, and I can guarantee that Haxsync will work. With Facebook, if your contact names differ from those people's names on Facebook, it won't attach them automatically. You will have to go into each contact and press join. You can avoid that with Haxsync, as it will do that for you. Just make sure it's configured correctly and give it 5 minutes to do its thing.

Hmm... :/
I wonder whats wrong. I got friendcaster to work finally but it wouldnt work without it. Haxsync refused as well. It would add my own picture but not any friends. I went through for an hour and a half and switched everyones name to their Facebook names and it didnt work. Sigh. I installed GoContacts and I picked only show contacts with numbers because the stock messaging app does not have that option. I heard there was some issue between Google and Facebook that wouldnt allow me to sync my contacts! GAH! Thanks so much!
