[Q] Facebook picture upload error - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi! I tried to upload a photo to the facebook but all the times the upload procedure was unsuccessful. A short error message appears in the notification area on the top of screen with a red triangle. I tried to delete data in the settings -> applications -> facebook item but it didn't help.
In my next step I tried to reinstall the facebook app but after it I got the same error again. I've the latest FB app. I uninstalled the anti virus and the task killer apps but it didn't resolved my problem. Via foursquare or via other apps (eg. PicsArt) I could upload pics to FB. I can Please help me to resolve this issue. It's very important for me.

This does not depend on the phone but the Facebook app. As far as I understand you must set your privacy settings (in the app) to something else than Custom (I want to have my setting to "Friends of friends" so I haven't tried it myself).
Do a test by setting the picture to Public before upload?

Facebook Data Unavailable?

Hi,
in ALbums I no longer see Facebook friends, and I cannot link to anyione in the People area as the list is blank. Assuming I still have friends (I checked ) anyone know what the problem may be???
Thanks
Phil
Hmm, tried logging out of Facebook & Twitter. Now cannot log back in to either. Not sure if to blame the phone or the network.
'Currently unavailable' message for facebook log-in. 'Incorrect Password' message for Twitter (checked...def correct login detail used)
Aha...can't even access web now. Blame O2 I guess!
Hmm...O2 ok. Removed battery for 5 mins and restart seems to have fixed it.
Is this a bug/build quality issue????

Missing Facebook contacts??

For some reason I do not find all my FB contacts to link contacts of my HD2?
I do not what causes that but my FB application and HD2 when trying to link user to fb user... it doesn't find all my fb friends... I have about ~250 friends...
Are you trying to link your contacts to their fb accounts?
The HD2 automatically links contacts to their fb profiles if their names match. If their names do not match you will have to link them manually by selecting the contact --> edit contact --> Associate with facebook account (scroll to bottom)
(Note: some people have said it can also link by email address, but I have had no success with this)
Or do you mean that some fb friends do not appear in the associate list? I have had this issue a couple of times, try restarting the device or logging out and back into facebook via accounts manager?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This one... and all my friends are also invible in FB app v1.1.0.17.
And... I've tried reset and restarting my device soooo many times to get this working...
Hmm... accounts manager?? My bells are not ringing?
Account manager: Start --> Settings --> Connections--> Account Manager
Also try Settings Tab --> Data Services --> facebook --> tick Download data Automatically
Also try finding profiles over WiFi as opposed to 3g?
Hope this helps

Damn don't work... I've about 280 friends and in list where I can choose contact for linking I see only 196 contacts...
C'mon guys I am desperate about this situation....
have you logged into facebook via sense or are you just using the fb app ?
Both... However... FB app is working ok but sense don't update anything anymore...
It seems that now it is time to update Energy ROM again
Damn... after updating ROM to Energy_Sense 18.9 version I still do not have ability to sync all my contacts to facebook contact. Sense only see 195 FB contacts.
I've been having the same problem for a few months now. I've got a stock HTC Pure and I'm using the ordinary Facebook app downloaded from MS Marketplace.
When the HTC Sense tries to link a contact on my phone with one of my FB friends, not all my friends show up in the list, even after refreshing. Brand new friends just added show up, but a small handful of existing friends are not in the "Link Profiles" list.
Also, those same friends are not showing up in the Facebook app. When I view my friends list, they are simply not there, as if we're not even friends. Even weirder, if I search for those friends by name or email or phone #, no results appear. So I can't view their wall or profile or anything.
Another weird thing about this is that if one of those friends sends me a message through FB, it shows up in my message section of the app, but there's no name next to it, and no profile pic (just the generic pale blue head icon). If one of those friends posts on my wall, their words show up in the app but there's no name or pic beside the post.
I tried everything from updating the app to hard resetting the phone, but still the same problem. We tried entering the city in the employer section like someone mentioned already, but that had no effect.
Anyone else have these issues? Any resolutions yet?
I'm having similar problem today, but using the method: Start --> Settings --> Connections--> Account Manager, logout the FB. Then go back to FB on sense to login, everything back to normal.
Thanks jwchips for the tips!

[Q] 2-step verification and picasa upload (authentication failed)

Hello everyone,
I have a problem uploading photos to my picasa account from my sgs2. Syncing emails, contacts and calendars works pretty fine. I can also see my picasa web-albums in the gallery app and they are up to date, but when I try to upload a photo to picasa I always get the error "authentication failed".
I already removed my google account on the phone and added a it again with another application password, but the error stays the same.
The same with other applications in the market for uploading photos to a picasa account (Picasa Tool, JustPictures!). With these apps I can also view my web albums, but uploading always fails.
Does anyone else experience this error? Does it have to do something with the latest security issue of android phones (being able to steal authentication in open wifi) and the google fix? Because just two weeks earlier it worked fine with my HTC Desire. Or am I just doing something wrong?
I had the same issue with the picasa app which is already installed.
I got the 'picasa tool' from the android market which worked fine after loggin in with the google account.
Thanks for reply!
I found my problem and could resolve it!
My picasa album reached the maximum image limit (1000), so every uploaded image was rejected and all applications gave an authentication error. When I tried to upload a photo over the web interface I got another error from google "server rejected" and searching for it told me that I could have reached my limit.
Well, it would be helpful if these applications could tell the user that the album possibly reached the limit.
Anyway, I hope I can help other people who run into the same problem.
I had a similar issue that I wanted to share. The issue started after I installed Google authenticator. Everyday (usually once a day, hard to reproduce), I would get a sign in error, which would make me put in a human readable word to correct it.
Looking into it more, found that it would put error next to 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' (Settings -> Accounts & Sync) and state that it is temporarily unavailable but would never come back. This would also make the albums I have on Picasa unavailable on my phone. After removing authenticator, I would still get the same issue. VERY annoying.
I tired everything I could think of: Changing passwords, wiping the phone, forcing log out on every device accessing Google services...
Then I went to Picasa settings and disabled Analytics for my account and updated the setting. BAM... Worked ever since.
I hope this helps someone later.
Other details that may help: Evo 4G, running CyanogenMod-7.0.3.1

HELP PLEASE!! Contacts Linked2SD and dialer wont load!!

Hi
I have a Motorola XT319 Android 2.3
I tried to save some space linking (LINK2SD) the contacts app and contact storage app.
I first had to Move them to user app (as they were system apps) and then proceeded to link. All went well but when I tried to open the PHONE app y will NOT load. Nor the CONTACTS app. I tried to UNlink it and switch it back to system app but it wouldn't.
I can't make any phone calls. PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!
Problem Update
I got no answers so far so I deleted all cache and data files and restablished factoru settings. Since reboot, I keep getting to error messages, One recarding android.process.acome and the other Google Frameworks. They keep poping up over and over. The dialer will know load, but the contacts WILL NOT.
Contact Sync is IMPOSIBLE and even though I unselect the sync option, the errors keep poping up.
I believe the problem has someting to do with the contact app.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Having this EXACT problem and tried everything you did too. It's really bothering me, I have to open messenger every couple of hours just to find old messages that I should have replied to.
I noticed that when I launch it, there's a brief "no internet connection" message, but just like you I gave it unrestricted access, background permissions, and enabled wi-fi and mobile data to run while phone is locked. I have problems with WhatsApp too though, every time I open it it downloads a bunch of new messages.
Also I don't have Play Services. Installing it causes other apps to glitch out for me, it seems. Maybe this is my issue?
I am not facing any issue with whatsapp and wechat..
And my messenger is solved for now after contacting Honor team..
They asked me to give same access to Facebook app (i.e unrestricted access and background running) and it solved the problem...
You should try the same hopefully it will work for you
