Does anyone know why this widget will not let me log in? I've even tried under settings and partner services (it uses the same process to sign in). Facebook works great but I just got a twitter account today and it keeps telling me I have the incorrect password/username. I've checked and double checked my information. I can even login using the browser and TweetCaster, just not the Dell Streak widget (which I prefer). Any information on this will be greatly helpful. I am running the stock 1.6 US version. Thanks!
I had the same problem too. Anyone figure out a fix?
About 2 months ago twitter changed the way they let 3rd party's log in to twitter so everyone had to update to accommodate this but dells app cannot self update so we have to wait for dell to update it you will have to use a different app for now
touiteur is a nice application , i use it often and it offers same functionality and more. looks even nicer.
Any way to see if Dell is/will update the built in Twitter app? I've been using TweetDeck and TweetCaster in the meantime... not too bad.

I know there are several apps out there that update twitter with the phone's GPS coords. Is there a WinMo app that does it for Facebook? I've messed with Loopt for blackberry, and that's the only program I've found that'll send a map location to FB. But I'm wanting to take my Tilt2 on vacation, and update my status with map or map coords/link on where I am. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Personally what I do is I use twitter and I have it auto-update to my facebook account. When I post a picture and/or location on twitter (or any other update for that matter) it goes straight to my facebook status message...
Just an idea...
True but in order to do that, (I believe) I must have my twitter account un-protected. This means anyone anywhere could see where I am. Not that I'm paranoid, but I'm looking for something that'll go directly to FB so i can control even which FB groups can and cannot see it Thanks though!
Glympse works well. If you have Facebook set up to accept text messages from your phone, it will post to your FB wall.
Never heard of Glympse but it is kinda cool. Now if only I could update via email. Trying to use data only, not txts. Thanks!
Hey all,
I don't know if any of you have encountered this problem yet but I decided to download the Facebook for Windows Mobile App from the Marketplace and I logged in and everything worked fine untill I opened the app up later on to find it will not update, I tried on WIFI and 3G etc Nothing happens it starts to refresh (eg the rotating loading icon appeared) and then stops and it doesn't actually refresh.
Is there a way to go back to the original app? or is it all around better to use the Opera web version?
Thanks very much for your time!

I'm running Dutty CDLC v15 and it's only started happening since yesterday. Maybe something wrong with Facebook? It works if you log out and log back in again though.
I uninstalled and reinstalled to see if it would work and it did, didn't think to try logging out to be honest ha-ha I think it may have something to do with the program. I will try and see what either Facebook or Microsoft says and hope they make a new update that actually works.
Thanks for the reply =]
Facebook itself is having problems. Been reading all over Twitter, people saying Facebook is down. Don't know how the site is,but the app definitely isn't working for me.
I posted about this over in general, was told the same thing, logging in and out seems to work but you have to log in and out every time you want to update.....
its a facebook side error though that's the bottom line......

HMM .. I found a different facebook APP called XDA FACEBOOK .. it doesnt do all the things the regular facebook app does and doesnt show photos yet but it DOES refresh so I wonder whats going on...
hmmm that weird.... maybe the fb app has gone the same way as the myspace app...... right down the plughole......
Same thing's happened to me. Anyone got a reason as to why? Or is it just related to the facebook crash?
I did a hard reset and installed FB first...Refresh works...after SPB backup (Restore)...didn´t Refresh...i guess it´s no FB and no Marketplace problem...
Here´s the solution...
Delete the "Facebook" and "FacebookInfo" files in the main dir of your mobile...start Facebook, login again...and it works...

only seems to work once.
then it's back to the 'no refresh' issue
Experiencing the same issue here, looking forward to a solution for this one.
Yeah I have not been able to get facebook to connect on my HD2 for a week now. I can still upload photos to facebook via the uploader, just cant update the app info... anyone know and app that works lol
....same here no updates possible since few days :-(
can anyone confirm if this advice is of any help?...
have you ever changed your facebook email address? check that the contact address in account settings matches your new email. i found that though i could login with my new email the old email address was still showing as contact address. i also reinstalled the facebook app so could also have been that which started it working again for me.
In my case I'm having problems logging in.
Regardless if I tick the "remember settings" square it keeps asking me to re-login with all of my credentials even after I hadn't shut off the phone... which didn't happen when I had the old Facebook Mobile version...

Hi, I'm the developer of the XDAFacebook app, and I can say that yes FB was down last week. The reason my app still worked was because the error that was breaking everyone had an easy work-around and I was able to release an update that worked.
I would say if you are not happy with the Microsoft app, please check mine out. It is still in early beta stages but will quickly become a full mobile client. Any feedback would be wonderful!

+1 same problem
I don't think we'll EVER see a fix. This app was developed by MS & not facebook, like on Android or Apple. So I think it's safe to say MS has abandoned it in favor of their WP7 facebook app.
I've been using joe coolish's xda facebook app. It works great, just doesn't have all the bells & whistles yet, but will.
Other than that I do use tweetdeck & the facebook app when I switch over to android, both of those are good, especially tweetdeck, you can update twitter, facebook, foursqaure & more all at once.
I'm unable to add my facebook account to tweetdeck. It just goes to the browser, shows "Loading" screen for a second or two and then jumps back to the Account screen.
It used to work before but now I can't get it to work. I've tried deleting cache of tweetdeck and browser, reinstalling tweetdeck, uninstall-restart-install, even tried it in three different countries and it doesn't work
Anyone else experiencing this?
My facebook widget is stuck at "refreshing statuses" or "updating is not available now". Googled that but couldn't find the reason.

Try this:
On the computer turn off platform apps and then deactivate FB account;
On the phone logout from FB app and delete FB cache.
On the computer reactivate FB account.
On the phone login into FB app.
It worked for me. I don't know if all steps are needed. If interested in platform apps you may try skipping the turn off step.
Used to have this problem, clear cache on phone's browser did the trick.

Instead of setting up facebook as part of motoblur, I simply wanted to install facebook app and let it sync with my contacts like I had it on Nexus One.
However, when I go into accounts, I see 2 facebook icons, one as part of motoblur and other under "Other accounts".
Only the motoblur facebook account setup works, the other one does absolutely nothing. Tapping on it yields no results.
Is this intended behavior or am I missing something?
Don't know much about this yet. I'm currently using the installed app that's on the Atrix, will let you know more further, just bought the phone last nite.
Alright, thanks.
Im not sure whether yours has a problem or not but I've been using the Android app since day one and it has worked fine. I haven't used the motoblur facebook but I imagine it's not too different.
I just didn't like how the motoblur facebook app synced and the regular facebook app doesnt set up appropriately. I guess I'll try uninstalling and going it again.
Did you stated you installed the actual facebook app? and setup the atrix facebook app before hand?
ok I just installed the FACEBOOK APP THROUGH ANDROID MARKET, tried to SIGN IN, and stated "AN ERROR OCCURED......" but when i signed in a few times, it let me in, it could be a server issues, but I'm in and working. Try to sign in a couple times.

Did that, it worked, but now it doesn't show up under my accounts within settings. This is definitely broken.
Yea that is broken then, try to uninstall and reinstall the program.
Is anyone else having an issue where the Motoblur Facebook functionality doesn't actually work? It won't import/match up contacts at all and doesn't even show any information under the social networking app. It will, after a few hours, notify me on unread messages, but that's it.
If you are having this issue, has anyone found a fix for it?
Running official Gingerbread.
Had the same prob with darkside rom till I flashed the blur fix since your saying your using stock I don't understand

It confuses me, too. Yesterday, on one attempt, it actually added 9 Facebook contacts before stopping. Every other attempt has resulted in complete failure. Oddly enough, I can still post statuses to Facebook with the Social Networking app when the account is added, so it's definitely working to some degree.
