OK. So it is not the geo location that causes this problem. I am doubting maybe it's some apk I need to replace.
On Dutch Vodafone it's all fine

[Q] Apps not connecting to FB

I am connecting to internet via wifi. One more problem though, I tried using applications like contapps and Phonebook 2.0, but when i try to authorize the app with facebook, it cannot connect to facebook.
I get the error as page not available.
Facebook app for android and web access for FB works fine, but from inside other apps I cant connect to FB to fetch Data.
Please help, not able to use any apps that fatch fb data.
-------------------------------
Update: other apps like egreetings are also not able to connect with Facebook.
Connecting to Facebook via Contapps
Hi Prakash,
I just saw your message about not being able to connect to Facebook via Contapps, can you specify some more details about your problem, when you go to Settings->Tapps->Facebook Tapp and click connect there should be a window opened with the Facebook login page, are you getting a "Page not available" error inside that window?
What type of phone do you have? and what version of Android (2.1? 2.2? with HTC Sense?)
I hope I'll be able to help you and we can solve this issue quickly and you will be able to enjoy your contacts
You can also contact me directly at support at contapps dot com
Thanks
Shay
Think this may be a Steak problem, can't connect to Zynga poker myself, it appears to open up a browser window and receive a browser error before dying.
Using official 2.2

Yes, this is the exact problem happening when connecting by tapp.
Also the same thing happens with other apps which try to connect to FB.
Using Official dell 2.2.
Thank you guys for the information, we will look into the Dell Streak problem, and I'll post an update as soon as we have more information.
It looks like it's Facebook SDK problem (the window and what's inside it is not part of Contapps, but part of the Facebook authentication problem), which can explain why other applications can't connect as well, and I'm hoping it'll be fixed soon
Enjoy your contacts!

Any update on this??
Not being able to connect to FB is so annoying !!
FB data fetching is one of the basic facility required in a smartphone these days..
Missing out on so many great apps because of this, feels I am not using Android, but some crappy OS..
Which version of 2.2 are you using? Earlier official ones had the redirect problem and I found that to affect facebook apps.

I have few questions.
I'm from Myanmar.
Our local language can be seen correctly in friendcaster and firefox.

It's a known bug in the official Facebook app.
As Omaxe said, you have to stick with other Facebook app as we all know that the official Facebook app for Android sucks!
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
As said by Jokesy facebook app sucks for andoid and also consumes a lot of battery so betta use friendcaster

Does the facebook app still do that annoying authenticating thing once a day on sense 3.6 roms?

This is incorrect. I have the OTA (3.14 or whatever it was) and Maps works fine now. No reboots.
EDIT: Speaking of which is 4.01/4.02 an actual OTA? I never got it.

Maybe it was fixed on Google's end.
I just know that when they first updated it with the new icon, it didn't work on older firmwares.

Ya it appears to be fixed on Google's end. Although I'm still on the leak before the ota so we shall see

Current Google Maps works on all GB & ICS ROMs on the Rezound with no issues, and has since version 6.11.1 (current is 6.12.0 I believe). Google fixed it a while back.
The Facebook authentication issues is tricky, it's not really a Facebook app thing, more of how the FB app and Facebook for HTC Sense work together. The key is to only sync stuff from one service, if you do both you will have issues. Best thing to do is remove all apps and updates for Facebook, delete all Facebook accounts, and add the Facebook account back in with no Facebook app loaded (using FB for HTC Sense), then install the latest FB app and when it asks about importing contacts or setting up sync make sure NOT to do it. Since I did it this way everything is in sync and I have not had a single auth issue.
The other way around it is delete all FB apps and accounts, then go to Facebook for HTC Sense and clear data, then disable FB for HTC Sense, reboot and add in the Facebook app and then the account... but it seems to me you do not get Calendar or Live Feed synchronization of data this way (effects widgets and calendar events).

[Q] Stock Google email apk

Is there anywhere I can get the stock email app from Google that gets updated with any frequency?
I found one that is the initial Kit Kat version but nothing newer, and with all the updates that the gmail app has gotten I'm sure the email app has gotten at least one.
Thanks in advance.

The Email.apk does not get updated near as much as Gmail. I think the latest version should be:
4.4.2 -f71429d610
The only version I see is when i hit submit feedback and it's listed as v6.0-893803

I think the other # is how it displays in Titanium Backup. Had a friend look for me since I do not use the app and never have. But yea, 6.0 is the newest with the newer UI with the sliding menus and what not. Don't think it's been updated in months.
OK, thank you for the assistance
