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

Also does maps still cause a reboot on older firmware on sense 3.6?

Maps works on global firmware, but not anything older.

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).

I set up 5 months worth of events and it just wont sync to mmy phone. I've tried manually syncing as well. I also tried 3 third party calendar apps which wont sync either.

More details might help. What rom are you running, have you done anything special to it, what steps you've taken to try and fix it, is this your first android phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Stock rom, just rooted. Ive tried syncing manually, clearing the calendar data, trying to fix it via google calendar website, tried a few calendar applications. Not sure what to do now.
Its my second phone, Inspire was my first
Does everything else sync?
From your response it sounds like you have looked this up already. So with that in mind maybe it's more of a small detail.
Are the calender events you're saving being saved to your Google calender or your local calender?

Well I dont really sync anything honestly. This is pretty much the first time I've tried to sync with this phone. The event is being saved onto my Google Calender.
Edit:
When I go into Settings>Accounts and Sync>My Gmail, it only shows Contacts, Gmail, and Picasa. No calendar here.
Wow. That's a first for me. How did you root your phone?

So when you access your calendar none of the events show up?
And you have tried opening the menu once you access the calendar going to settings->Calendar Sync-> selecting gmail syncing that way?
I know that with my calendar, contacts, etc. it took a long time before the information updated. I would say about 10-15 minutes and I did not create 5 months events more like major holidays and 250 or so facebook related events.
I would suggest giving it more time or rebooting the phone and trying the whole thing all over again.

that was for the Nexus 1 but maybe it'll work for you. Add a 2nd gmail account and see if that calendar sync option reappears.

If it were my phone I'd flash stock to see if that fixes it. Seems like the software is messed up. I can't think of any reason Calender wouldn't show up under sync.

Well I didnt flash any ROM, i just rooted so I can get a few rooted apps. Im new to this, but that means im still on the stock ROM right?
Correct, you're still on stock then. I really like entropy512's method, as it flashes stock (can help fix most system problems if you're running a stock rom) and it's rooted.
I'm not promising you wont lose what apps you've installed, but I've had a few times I've done it now and all my apps stayed installed. Pretty quick process all in all.

Several people have had issues getting Hotmail to sync correctly when set up as an alexchange account. Personally I have tried it using the Activesync option and setting everything manually as well as choosing the option specifically for Hotmail which has default settings built in with no luck on either.
This seems to be happening with some of the newer custom ROMs for others as well. I can get it to work on stock and Fresh 5.1.1 with no problems. I've tested it with MeanROM and ClassicJewel and can't get it to work.
Is it possible that a memory tweak or removed apk is preventing it from working correctly?
Edit: Hotmail is also apparently working okay on Charmeleon and Flex360 without issue.

I'm on Viper and I ended up dumping the built in email client for Hotmail and installed the Hotmail app in the Play Store. Haven't had any issues with receiving email with the Hotmail app.
I am stock and hotmail is being flaky, with both the hotmail option and the active sync option

I thought I was the only one with this issue. I don't have a custom ROM but I am rooted. My hotmail has only synced twice in the past 5 days.

I would say maybe it is a Hotmail server issue but it works okay on some ROMs and with a 3rd party email app (Enhanced Email)

It displays "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It'll be back shortly." and when I check it it's Facebook Calendar with the exclamation mark.
It doesn't sync since July 5th, which is when I got the ICS/Sense 3.6 update.
I noticed Facebook for HTC Sense isn't displayed in the Accounts & Sync list anymore since that update, is that normal?
Yes, I'm in mean rom latest ics, i just disabled it

My phone has just disconnected by itself from Facebook right now saying "authentication failed" and when I logged in back the calendar sync is back working. It looks like removing the account and re-adding it solved the issue.
I'm having this same issue, however removing the account and re-adding it does not solve the issue. Can anyone help?
MeanROM ICS v2.6 and stock kernel.
I'm having the same issues sometimes. I'm almost positive it's the pos Facebook app. That thing is straight garbage.

Facebook needs to get their act together on this. How come they are the only ones that can't seem to make an Android app run properly?
Mine is working fine since then...
As far as I know, Facebook calendar sync doesn't come from the official app. It's (Facebook for) HTC Sense.
Maybe you could try to logout / remove on the phone, then go to Facebook website and remove the HTC Sense app from the app settings page, then login again on the phone.
After upgrading to 4.0 all programs except stock contacts and text no longer show Facebook profile pictures. I use GoContacts, Handcent sms and Gmail. None of these display to contact pictures for Facebook contacts. The contact pictures is blank. I have contacted all the companies and they all blame Facebook. Any ideas?

it is facebook. they locked down that part of there API. you have 2 options to get them back:
1. buy Haxsync from the market place. Its only $.99 and it works great.
2. download an app called Photo Unlocker, it was developed by ChainsDD. It is no longer in the market so you will need to search Google for it. For this to work you need to make sure your contacts are synced already with Facebook fully, run the app, it will ask for root. then it will show if the data base is busy or not. some times you will need to click unlock a bunch of times for it to work.
Loaded Haxsync. The only program that sees it is contacts. Does not work with third party programs. Handsent, go contacts and gmail.

i use handsent and go contacts and the both see them on mine. try going to:
system > app > find the 2 apps and clear cache from them.
I just installed Callapp the new social dialing app that is supposed to work great with face book. It doesn't show Facebook contact photos either. This all started the second I upgraded to ICS.

I've just downloaded HaxSync and I'm sync'ing now. I'm using a beta version of Contacts+ for my address book. We're about to find out if my contact photos import from Facebook like they used to before the API change. If this works, I'll be reporting back on my beta results.
And the verdict is...
IT WORKS (for about 90% of my Facebook contacts that had missing photos)!! Thanks for the tip!
It took a day, but the HaxSync did work. Had to rename a few contacts to the same as in Facebook. Working good with Go Contacts and Handcent.
Thanks!

Thats because this isn't a blur rom.

EDIT: I cant fimd it, but you could also try in the playstore, there seems to be several apps that do what you need
