After taking the ICS update, I've been having some issues with a "facebook authentication fail" error daily. Has anybody else had this problem? It might be another sign to give up on Facebook...google+ works perfectly.
I'm running Nilsp BGS and I get that error also but only about once a week.

I had that issue too after flashing nils rom but not with anything else before. I was on various ics roms. Thought it was because of the ad block script so reflashed, disabled it and haven't had it since.

I've been having this problem daily as of late, been on cleanrom 4.5 for months but this just started happening a couple weeks ago. Bump for a solution...
Yep, having the same problem on stock and locked Rezound, It's effing annoying!
hmmm.. i've been having somewhat of a similar issue as well. whenever i try and share a photo to facebook, it says you must sign in first (which i already am in the android app) so it takes me to what looks like the app but it just STAYYYSSS on the facebook app bootup logo forrrrrrrEEEVVVVVVEEEEER! idk what to do.

This will do it. Funny that it worked fine for ICS for so long until they updated a couple weeks ago. FB needs to hire our devs to make their apps.
I'm having this issue too. Will try clearing data and updating again.

FWIW, also encountering on an Arnova 10 G2 tablet. I don't think it's ROM-specific or device specific. It's a problem with the app.
It is certainly and issue with ICS as I have seen on other phone forums that this issue is there...
The last known version of Facebook that works is version 1.8.4 which you can find here on xda... Just search...
The version that sits on the phone after un-installing the updates is 1.8.1

Facebook's app is simply terrible. I bought FriendCaster Pro but even it doesn't display everything in my news feed for some reason.
Lately I've just been using the mobile site. Make a shortcut to it and it "feels" like an app
Actually, its a conflict between the latest official Facebook App and HTCs Sense Facebook App.
Basically, use the old version of Facebook or freeze/remove the Sense FB app. I removed the HTC version and haven't seen any differences in functionality or features.

Thats what I thought too until I removed htc facebook from my ROMs. Now if I install facebook from the market it does the same thing. So I don't think its caused by htc's facebook. I solved it by just not installing facebook but that solution only works for me.
Perhaps its also the HTC FB chat then. I removed both at the same time because I never use chat.
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many people with the same problem. #FacebookSucks

My Facebook spline hasn't updated in 2 days either, and doesn't seem to if I click Refresh. Perhaps Facebook changed their API?
Mine did not update for more than 17 hours, and just 30 minutes ago, it starts updating again. It must have been a problem with Facebook itself...
Given up and now using Facebook widget and ditched Timescape til I see on one of the forums that its sorted. Got a twitter app and not worried about calls/sms/pics for time being. Shame, its one of the things I liked about phone altho picture quality on it was pretty rubbish.
Same thing happened to me. I even re-installed the OS through SEUS because I thought that it was me that I messed with something. Now Facebook is not refreshing, telling me that the latest update was from 30 hours ago, and I can't log into twitter because it keeps telling me that either my username or password are wrong... tried them on twitter.com and I have them right... so wtf?
Lol I gave up with timescape a long time ago. It has always been buggy.
My twitter app is perfect for me, tweetcaster. The only real annoyance remaining for me is the lack of a decent facebook app.

I'm hating this SO MUCH. I can login on twitter in Firefox and even the Android Web Browser, but none of the Twitter apps work. Call it Timescape, Twidroid, nothing.

I think Timescape gets the update from facebook touch site, cause every time you click on the panel it takes you to the touch site.
If there is a delay with touch site updates, looks like Timescape got affected
My Facebook push notifications have stopped coming through. Nothing I do seems to work.
First I cleared the application data – a fix I found on Google (this fixed it last time it happened about 4 months ago).
Then I uninstalled the app, rebooted the phone (stock unrooted Vodafone SGS2, reinstalled but still no joy.
Can anybody please help?
Yep mine stopped too so I have actually turned back on email notifications, now that is reliable ...
I will soon ditch FB anyway so ...
How long ago did it stop? Mine stopped sometime Tuesday night.
Have you tired clearing the application data.

Same problem here, im on XXLPB they have not been working for the last 3 days
Generally it can be solved as-go to your main phone settings, applications, manage applications, facebook, clear data/cache. then open the app and resign in.
Also, in main settings, accounts & sync, is facebook enabled? is background data and auto sync checked?
in all the years ive had android Ive never had them working. I tried the Blackberry workaround last week and I received one notification and then it stopped again.
Back to Friendcaster, buggy but at least notifications work
For some reason facebook messenger has stopped notifying for me too.
Im using friendcaster -- some issue, but overally far more responsive than official app
Funny thing...
You wanna read something funny about this issues??
I own a Samsung Wave, the first one, and the social hub premium on Bada -its OS- does support Facebook with messenger and push!!!
I'm tired of asking Samsung support why the same functionality is not implemented in the social hub for android!!
The Samsung Facebook application for Bada works flawlesly, push, messenger, uploads, everything. Yet, on this device, Samsung's Flagship, social hub sucks big time, it sucks so much that users are left having to install other apps for the same functionality that could be already integrated into Android by Samsung...
Sorry for the OT, just venting a rant because I share the same push problems you do....

I'm a HEAVY E-mail user with one Exchange account, two IMAP accounts and two GMail accounts synced to my phone. I'm running the latest version of MeanROM which I mostly enjoy but the stock mail.apk applet has been completely overlooked. I'm convinced very few users maintain EAS accounts or bother with the stock app but it's pretty key to me.
It doesn't appear the 1.22.651.3 base or Sense 4.1 did anything to address the oversized font/zoom issue with the stock mail app nor did it fix the "Display Images" button on every message with HTML content. It also broke the ability to display links but that's a different issue altogether.
Which ROMs have addressed the stock mail applet or am I stuck with +20pt fonts on an otherwise gorgeous display?
I know CM10's default email fixes the issue (and bonus--you can flip through your emails without going back to your inbox). Of course, it also forces you to input your pin every time you want to use the phone, but that's a minor bug.
Links inside of emails NEVER worked for me on this phone, even when it was bone stock.
Clickable links in an email (and text messages) on a mobile device is patented by Apple and that may be the reason why they're not working in the stock mail app.
I can't speak with authority, but non-clickable links in email may be an intentional move by HTC to avoid getting sued.

Mikey just put up MeanRom 3.8 and I think he might have fixed these issues. Download it and try it.

I feel your pain.
Unfortunately you might just have to go with CM10, if this is you use Mail on your phone this much. The one feature lacking from the CM10 version is the inability to set an update schedule. But everything else is at least comparable.
And, just like with the Sense version, there is a version that bypasses Exchange security so you don't have to use a PIN to unlock your phone every time.
+1 on CM10
Thanks for the responses. I'm surprised few ROMs seem to address this. I'm going to try Stock w/ Goodies or CM10 next... Are there any glaring issues to look out for?

Have you used K9 mail? The logo is stupid but the app is amazing. It always is on top of "best email app" lists. Give that a shot before changing ROMs just for the sake of the email app.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I thought about K-9 but that was back when it still had the Gingerbread UI. I still do.t think I should have to maintain a third party app for basic functionality that HTC borked from the factory.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? Or will I just need to find a new mail app?

Multiuser was finally enabled. Great news on that front.
With the update to 4.3 comes App Ops! Now we can restrict individual apps from accessing personal information.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-ops-brings-granular-permissions-control-to-android-4-3/
It is with misfortune that this functionality will be removed if our devices get updated to 4.4.2.
4.3 update install failed
I downloaded and there was a button that said install/restart. Clicked the button it disappeared, but nothing else happened. Didn't install 4.3... restart did nothing. If i try to download system update, it tells me the system is already up to date. I don't see the update file in downloads, could it be somewhere else. Any thoughts?
I understand that on most android devices the update goes on the cache partition (which is only viewable with root).

I have the same email problem with my Hotmail: 4.2.2 worked flawlessly, but now 4.3 will not connect to Hotmail using the stock client. The workaround solution is to download and use Microsoft's official Outlook app from Google Play. You'll have to use the Outlook client to send and receive mail, but at least your email will start working again.
Hotmail settings that work

Hello people. Im new on this forum but Im sure you can help me with my question.
I have a XT910 since October 2013 and my Twitter app (official client) had always run smooth. Since, like, March of 2014 (5, 6 updates maybe?), the keyboard runs EXTREMELY slow when typing, and i've noticed this only happens on the official Twitter app. I had tried three keyboards, the stock one, Swype and Emoji 7 i think. With the three keyboards i had the same problem.
What I did was uninstalling Twitter, and downloading Tweedle, the best client i had found ATM. The thing is that this app has less options than Twitter and I really need to use it nice.
So I'll wait until Twitter fixes this problem (on the Twitter critics on Google Play, a lot of people had commented the same problem).
Meanwhile I hope there is a fix for this.
Had already factory reset twice, installed CM11, now im currently in stock JB again, but no fixes. I hope you can help me.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks!
I'm facing the exact same issue, it appeared after the introduction of the new twitter app (with the revamped interface). I have an Xperia L with Android 4.2 stock, and before the update everything worked smoothly... It's the only app that lags this phone tbh. I hope they fix this soon...

I think i have a temporal solution. What i did was download the Twitter 5.0.5 apk, this one is the first version with all the new last features and design, and it runs nice.
Now go to Google Play and disable automatic updates.
Download Titanium Backup and with this app you can unconnect the Twitter app with Google Play, so it wont ask you for an update (you need pro version of titanium backup).
Twitter 5.0.5 seems to run good on my Droid Razr, i hope this "fix" can help other people with different devices having the same problem. Keep the apk because if the app gets updated (by mistake)you can do the process again.
Thanks! I hope it works.
