Problem Facebook messenger on exictenz rom - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI!
I'm new to this and my English is not so good but I have a problem
That I hope someone can help me with!
I have exictenz 6.3.5 rom and now my Facebook is not working as it should
I can open messenger app through Facebook and in app launcher but I can't open conversations then the app crashes.
I have tried clearing cash, reinstall, erase data, but nothing helps.
The only way I can access the conversations Is to open messenger, long press conversation then chat bubbles.
Please help someone!
If I'm in the wrong thread op please move thread!

Why not simply use messenger and use it for sending messages instead of using the Facebook one?
This happens probably because of the fact that Facebook in the last few updates doesn't use the messenger app, it uses the built in messenger.

It is the built in messenger app I mean!
It opens ok but when I try to open a conversation rhe app crashes!

Welp, I can't really help you, since I haven't faced anything like that. I can only suggest using the messenger app

It's not an existenz's rom problem but a general one. I faced this issue on another phone too buddy. I also took a look into the ratings and reviews of the messenger's app and other users report the same issue. I had no problem with the previous version of the messenger app. Clearing the data won't help neither.
So the only thing to do is to wait the new messenger's version

Facebook not working after update

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!
here is the link to the dev thread:

+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.

Facebook Pictures and Messaging.

Not a crucial problem and it bugs me. Pictures which come from Facebook linking does not appeat for contacts in the default messaging app. It worked on the first fascinate I got but I had to replace it. Twitter profile pictures do work. I have tried resyncing and such. However, pictures from twitter do appear.
Anyone have a similar problem or solution?

When posting things like this it helps if you post what you're running...I ASSUME from your words that you're on Eclair (Stock 2.1). Simple fix that has worked for me is uninstalling/reinstalling Facebook and re-syncing.

Strange GO SMS Pro for me is working fine. Its not allowing facebook photos to show up otherwise its fine for me.
I'm guessing so app's are crossing over and garbling crap up
anyone have any idea what the samsung app "facebook for syncing" is in the accounts manager vs facebook/friendcaster.
I've found that friendcaster will sync my facebook friends..but not my numbers...
and facebook app will do both..but other app's arent registering them
and as far as I can tell the samsung facebook app for syncing is just for gallery/calender...but yet I can't get calender to work, just error's out.

Syncing Facebook contact pictures

Hello!
I just changed to a new Galaxy S3 last weekend and there's still an issue that I have not been able to solve. When I go to the contacts app, contacts appear linked to their Facebook profile, but I cannot see their picture. In the synchronization options my Facebook account seems to be well added and the "Sync contacts" option is ticked. I just want every contact to appear with their FB picture the same way it used to happen in my already retired HTC Desire.
Any help with this?
Thank you very much!
i couldn't get this to work with the facebook app (which was the only reason i downloaded it) so instead i tried an app called "syncmypix" which did the pictures > contacts sync perfectly

CONTACT SYNC into the PLAYSTORE is for FREE and you can chose huge picture size!
Is there no way to get FB contact phone numbers (if they're on there) without using the official FB app (which doesn't seem to work)?
Try to delete the facebook sync and re-do it. Not sure if that will help.
Longshot: Delete the facebook app cache.
Thank you all for your replies. Most of them are the things a "more or less experienced user" would have done and, because of this, I had already tried them...
Using either "Haxsync" or "Contact Sync" there are still some contacts that I don't get well synchronized...
I have also tried to edit some contacts manually via my Gmail account adding the HTC Data type information that is supposed to link contacts with Facebook (lines lika <HTCData><Facebook>id:XXXXXXXXXX/friendof:YYYYYYYY</Facebook></HTCData>) but not even this way I've had success...
It's unbelievable how such a simple thing can bring so much trouble...
Ok, here's what I did to finally solve it.
With Haxsync, synchronize automatically the contacts the app recognised itself.
With Haxsync, synchronize all my other Facebook contacts. There's an option to do that, you have to select all your contacts from a list, one by one.
Link manually these contacts synchronized in previous step.
With Haxsync again, assign each contact it's HTC Facebook ID.
Now, with Contact Sync, do a synchronization with the "Sync by HTC Facebook ID" option ticked.
Done!
If you have a tidy list of contacts in Gmail, every one of them with its HTC Facebook ID, there's no way it can go wrong!
I use Facebook Contact Sync - might be better or worse than Haxsync, not sure - but it's free. It works but you have to do some manual labor to set it up. It could use some more features and support from the dev but at least it does the job...unlike the Facebook app...which is a total disappointment with syncing.

I've spoken with some devs about this and it's not possible because Facebook only allows addons to see/pull certain pieces of information. Birthdays, for example, can be set to private by FB users and so addons cannot pull that data - some people have it public so it works sometimes. I believe phone numbers are just completely off limits.
This works in Wifi connection only using the official facebook app.. It will not immediately load all the images specially if you have lots of friends but it will load it all.. If not try to clear your facebook app cache and data...
Using only mobile connection facebook is a failure, all the problems will start if you are in mobile connection :cyclops:

I have always tried the sync process with Wifi connection and the official FB app won't sync a single picture... It links most of the contacts and makes them appear with the FB logo, but it does not load the picture...

Wifi connection works for me... try clearing the data and cache of facebook or better reinstall the application then try to sync again using a wifi connection (make sure you clear the cache and data before uninstalling the app).. You may need to still wait for a while if you have lots of friend.
I'm only having problem if I use Mobile connection...
An additional question: do you know if we can make the contacts be shown with their Facebook name? This was possible with HTC Sense...
Im using the official Facebook for Android app and I have contact photos, phone numbers etc everything synching fine. And thats even with moving the data from one device to another.

What do u mean by manual labor?!... I am used to use this application on my HTC Desire and it was working fine but now it doesn't work... I face a problem after linking all the contacts that I can't make any calls or receive ... What type of configurations have you done ?! ...
Btw I tried this application on two different galaxy S3 device and I faced the same problem.

I am using friendcaster pro, but the normal version should work fine as wel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...fyFree&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
I have no issues and the best thing about that app are:
more function than original app
NO transferring of your SMS (unlike the original version from facebook, which does that)
nice UI
Make sure that contacts sync setting from facebook is enabled than try to logout from facebook app and log back on... It worked for me and now I have all my contacts pictures!
all the other applications doesnt sync numbers or emails from facebook only pictures !. can somebody tell me if there is a solution ? i tried all the posted solutions but non of them is working !

BLOCK/DISCONNECT Facebook/Messenger

Hey, here is my problem:
Facebook and Messenger are always turned on in the background and whenever I connect to the internet I appear online on FB.
Sometimes I want to use the internet without appearing on facebook and receiving messages. I know that I can use the log out option in both FB and Messenger but than I need to re-enter password and re-login with all those questions about syncing my device with FB. I am looking for a solution. Something like 1 button widget that disables/enables facebook in no time. I tried using some firewalls but they took long to work and when I wanted to turn back FB on I had to restart my device.
Any ideas?

yes of course you can chat even without messenger. chat heads wont pop up but once you open the facebook app, you will be receiving notifications in the notification bar.
