All of a sudden I got "An error had occurred while fetching data [null]" every time I want to see my live feed and my own profile from my Nexus One phone (stock Facebook app). I have no problem accessing it from the browser or PC.
Strange thing though, when i log out, then re-login using OTHER facebook account, I can see the live feed and the profile page no problem. Everything works fine again.
However, once i login using MY account, problem starts again.
I have hard reset my N1, problem still there.
Any idea? Please help.
I like the stock Facebook app on N1, don't really want to install another app or use browser to access it.
Oh and my N1 is stock, no root yet.
Thank you
Calm down and take a deep breath I have the same problem. It is not your phone it is facebook server. I had the problem yesterday shortly and today in the morning. Now it seems ok for me...wait until they repair the problem and use the browser application in the meantime...
i had the same issue also, mine seems to be working now though.
so server related not my phone?
phew...
mine still isn't working though
still not working? dang, just give it some time, mine was out a good 6-7 hours
I've had this issue on the Desire ROM where the live feed on the Friend Stream just refuses to update... I was "locked out" for a few days.
strange, it wasn't working for a while until u put the facebook widget on my home. click on the facebook icon, then ta-da! all working again.
Not sure if it was a coincidence...
It's a problem with some 3rd party apps that push data to your facebook feed and the client's interpretation of the XML. Zynga apps being one of them.
You can experiment by hiding various 3rd party apps form your facebook feed (or logging in when you get the error on a computer and seeing what apps were there and not on your phone).
Once they're hidden (or, over time as they pass further down the history list) your feed will work fine.
i don't play games on facebook, nor have i allow any games to be on my profile.
strange, but it works ok now.
Not just games this can be form ANY third party app that has an illegal character in it....this includes quizes, "who visited your profile", horoscopes, any of those things, anything that is not a pure-facebook update.
Same problem here on htc desire S. On wifi all is ok. On 3g ''An error had occurred while fetching data (null.)'' This is very strange.
Hi,
I found that there is a new version of Facebook ... version 1.2 (Market).
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/23/facebook-app-updates-adds-inbox-support/
And on my HTC Desire, the version is 112.
Anyone has updated this?
There are 2 facebook apps on my Desire:
- facebook (version 112)
- Facebook for HTC Sense (version 1)
How do you update?
Thanks
i only did the usual way to upgrade,
market -> download, and click on the application, and update.
Any feedback about the version? I see quite a few complaints about force closes on other handsets, how is it in the Desire?
Works just fine on the Desire. My biggest problem is you can't view your messages you have to manually go to the mobile site...oh wait what's this update...messaging feature finally! Now they need to add chat.
yep just updated today.. finally INBOX , otherwise not really seen anything different.
They need to get up to date with this android Facebook app. I did the update today hoping for the notifications to finally work properly, as in notifying me if someone comments on one of my posts! but alas, still no cigar, infact it never seems to notify me of anything. Is it just me?

I get updates but only if I add people with facebook to my Friends Widget..... then it adds a green circle with the number of updates by a friend.
the main app works fine, but the widget doesn't. fails to load each time.
edit: confirm that a reboot does indeed fix the problem.
A reboot of the Desire solved the issue with the widget for me
I've started using Bloo again lately. Much better notifications system, slicker and more comprehensive UI (has its own photo viewer with save option rather than just linking to the mobile site for example) AND there's an update coming this week that adds Facebook Chat.
Bloo doesn't let me log in i get stuck in a login cycle.
There is also multitouch when you view images.
Have you given the App permissions? Works fine on my Desire running generic Rom. Not bothered about multitouch; the only reason the native Facebook app has it is because it opens up the browser and that's CHEATING ;-) the gallery UI is much more slick and user friendly with Bloo, besides which there's little point viewing photos en masse with either of these apps as the standard photo gallery has Facebook album integration which is pretty damn slick
they have added the inbox but still it has few bugs. It cannot show more than 30 threaded messages in a single conversation. Even when someone sends a new message in that same conversation, you can see the preview on the inbox but when you click to go on reading it loads first 30 messages.
So im still stuck with the mobile facebook to see my messages. ..
anyone know the workaround of this?
I just want an update that lets me tag photos! I don't understand why this is taking so long
The update for Bloo has been coming for a few months. However, I can send you 1.5 (w/ chat) a bit later? PM if you want.
Also, I can't see the new update. I'm already on 1.2 :s Does the new version allow contact sync like the Nexus FroYo version?
Edit: New version sounds like the version I've had for some time now :s

Hello All,
Am new to HTC Android Phone. I have setup my contacts photos to be picked up from the respective Facebook Profiles. Although this happened the first time, if a contact changes the photo on facebook it is not getting updated in the phone? Is there a way to manually force an update??
Facebook sync is enabled (i guess once every 12 hours) and it has been several days since the contact updated the profile pic on FB.
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
I have the same problem, my contacts aren't updated >.<
Pretty annoying, but I have not found a way yet to fix it. Looks like a problem with facebook for android.
If anyone has more information, please tell us
It seems that the facebook sync method doesn't check if the facebook profile pic is updated or not. Probably to save network bandwidth and sync time. But it is kind of annoying that it is not updated.
I have exactly the opposite problem. The pictures assigned to my contacts in google keep getting updated with those in facebook. While I don't mind that for contacts that do not have pictures in Google, it is quite annoying for such that do.
i pressed the sync all widget and all my face book images updated
my legend is rooted and running the modaco rom tho

Strange that it works for you. Can't see how a root or new rom would change anything. I have the same problem, using stock unrooted rom. Kinda hoped it would be fixed with new update, but no luck

Where is this "sync all" button? I am not able to find it. Is it something specific to the rom?

I was also facing the problem of getting updated display pic from facebook and thought that there wasn't anyway to solve.. until after i ran into the FriendStream problem.
My FriendStream started acting strange and refuses to update friends' status today, it force closes when i try to launch the application proper. After reading up online, I did what others suggested, remove the facebook account and re-add it to FriendStream.. It got my FriendStream working again, plus a bonus - it "re-linked" with all my contacts in People and updated their profile pics! =D
Might take a while for it to fetch all the display pics again though, so I'd recommend doing it with a WiFi connection
My facebook profile pics update but there is a major delay between 12 and 24 hours) even though facebook and friend screen update every 10 minutes
I have this issue too, it seems to come from the last OTA ROM update
my FB pictures don't updates, and worse, new FB contacts don't appear in my phone book. when I manually sync my FB account, there is a process that returns an error
the solution I found to force an update was to run friend stream, friends, facebook, menu, update
it takes some time

i know this is an old thread so hoping there was a better fix for this issue? terribly annoying
Doing a refresh in the friendstream app updates the photo in the app but not the contact photo
I have found no way to update the photos till now... have even tried unlinking the Facebook profile from the contact and readding - no use...

so there's no solution ..
I use SyncMyPix, it works well. http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-nloko-android-syncmypix-qxEz.aspx
But I do hope that this gets fixed with a software update.

For some reason my Gmail App has stopped working properly about 1hr ago. Every time I open the app the conversations start loading then get to the bottom of the screen the force close message below pops up:
"The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008062027_com_google_process_gapps.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log."
No success after rebooting the phone several times. Can anyone please shed some light? I really have no clue to what happened ... now I have to use the email client .
Thanks in advance for your help, really appreciate it.
I just checked to see if it was a problem with the app itself and mine is loading all conversations fine. Did you delete or replace anything prior to?
No I didn't do anything to the phone, not even install or uninstall any apps. This is so strange.
Maybe try removing the account and doing it again... It shouldn't mess anything else up. I'll try it out on my phone now to confirm.
[Update] Wouldn't let me do it because it's the primary. A factory reset is the only way to completely remove it. You can try clicking on sync gmail to stop it and then click on it again to force a refresh. Idk if that'll fix your particular problem though
Try going to settings, applications, manage applications, menu button, filter, all. Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage, then try to resync.

I did a factory setting, unfortunately it did not fix the issue.
It doesn't work...
Ok, after 4hrs of insanity trying to figure out what suddently went wrong with my vibrant. I came to a conclusion that it's not my phone because when I added my wife's GMAIL account, the force close did not come up and all the conversations were loaded without any issues.
Apparently, the server where my GMAIL account is located seems to have some problems since I keep getting sync errors with contacts and calendar as well.
Have you tried logging into your account from an actual computer? Perhaps there is a problem with your account. I know I had weird sync errors when my account got compromised by a spammer last month, and google locked my account until I changed the password.

The weirdest thing is when I used my PC I didn't encounter any issues... That's why I thought the problem came from the phone @ the beginning.
Since this morning everything seems got back to normal. All the conversations loaded no problem.

I'm getting this now, too. My first two screens of gmail are shown but if I scroll down to where it says "Loading conversations" the after a few seconds the error pops up. I wonder if there is a "bad"email in our inbox that the gmail app doesn't know how to handle - something along three lines of unexpected characters in the email header/subject/etc or some partis badly formatted or too long like the header or something in it. Tomorrow (Sunday) I will try archiving my old messages on gmail and see if that makes the error go away. If it does then it a pretty good bet that one of the emails is causing three problem (the app still shouldn't crash but it would at least help explain what is happening).

Well I was able to avoid the error by archiving or deleting old emails in the inbox. I noticed when you have a large volume in one single label it causes the crash while loading conversations. I do not think it comes from a "bad" email, it's just a glitch in the app itself that folks @ Google need to work on.
Another thing that I noticed is when I logged-in my email using Nexus One, the force close did not occur but there was a failed connection-try again message.
Same problem here, noticed it today... good to know im not alone heh, but like the OP said im pretty sure it is a glitch in the app, so we'll maybe have to wait for a fix.
Confirmed, only by trying to scroll down really fast (and I'm on wifi). This was not an issue on my g1, of course I was using custom rom's. It'll certainly be addressed.
I have not encountered this problem with the Gmail app yet but I have had the exact same issue come up with the Messaging app twice so far.
But the problem has not stopped me from using the Messaging app and I was able to go right back into it each time it happened. It happened once about 30 minutes ago, and another time over a week ago.
I think it may have to do with the 200 text limit that I have turned off. Since Inbox is at 173 right now with Outbox 89, last deleted a few days ago and also with 33 conversations.
It does get a little laggy too but I have noticed it lag with only a few conversations with maybe an overall total of 30 text messages. I never had it lag this much on the G1 and I would have over 1000+ text messages and with cyanogenmod.
I am having the same issue.
I am getting the same thing too.
Mine started late last week after I updated the Facebook app. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling (highly doubt it was related, but due to coincidence I had to try it) and it was doing the same thing.
I did a factory wipe - same thing. I ran fix permissions and rebooted - same thing.
I am not sure it is related to having too many items in one label as I have just shy of 300 items in my inbox, and I have had about the same (give or take 2-3) for months (I use many, many labels to manage things), but I am going to try to organize, move, delete, archive, etc. some of my messages and see what happens.
Google knows of the issue.

Thanks for the link. I haven't had time to search today while I've been at work.
FYI, it looks like this may have been fixed. Mine has stopped doing it this morning. Checking the issue link that laris posted, nothing confirmed from Google that it is fixed yet though. Couple of people reporting that theirs is fixed too.
Since updating to KF3, my personal contact (as in me) in my contacts list no longer seems to be linked to my facebook account. My picture hasn't changed and it doesn't show my status, nor does the facebook icon appear as a linked account.
I also get "service temporarily unavailable" errors when trying to update facebook in social hub.
Oddly enough, my friends' contact pictures seem to be updating properly, as do activities and media. It's just mine. Seems minor, but it's driving me nuts.
I already removed the social hub facebook account and added it back, removed facebook app, cleared data on social hub and contacts, and restarted the phone. It was updating my info fine before the firmware update. Bug?

A couple of us lost IM when we moved to KF3. With 2.3.4 rumored to be out in two weeks(ish) I'm not going to sweat it for now. It sounds like you found some more broken Social Hub stuff in KF3.

I have the KF3 firmware, oh and I doubt we will be seeing the official 2.3.4 any time soon, , I dont want to flash this new device just yet, and it looks rather complicated. please let us know if you solve the problem, or it was just a samsung outage...

The official update has always come out a couple of weeks after a leak. This time shouldn't be any different.
