I'm not sure what the question is here... facebook is not uploading your picture... did you try using the Gallery app, or did you try rebooting your device first???

I have no problems uploading pictures. Videos on the other hand........... It will hit 100% upload and then nothing.

I think what he's trying to do is upload a picture from his phone to Facebook.

Ian - what indication are you getting that the upload to FB failed?

 

[iancurtis]

Yeah I'm trying to upload a picture from my gallery and each time it says upload fail the error details says an unknown error has occurred please sign on to facebook and try again. I logged in and out and the same thing happens. and I'm not sure how to reboot my phone I ll try to see if that works

Reboot: Hold down the power button on the top of the device, unlock it, then hold it down again for a second or two, then you will see a menu with: Power off, Airplane mode, and Restart.

If this does not work you might want to clear the cache.... Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > click on "Facebook" > I'd first do a Force stop, then Clear data, then Clear Cache... then Home... start the app again and you will be asked to login again.

I had the same problem after the last system update. Follow these steps to fix it: Go to settings, accounts and sync. Choose "add account" then select "Facebook for HTC Sense". Select "log out". You will see a warning message, select "yes". You will then be returned to main "add account" screen. Select "add account", select "Facebook for HTC Sense". Then enter your Facebook login information. Once you have signed in, the system will perform a sync. After the sync is complete you should be able to upload your pictures and videos again.

I have had that problem since the outset with my phone or something like it. I keep on getting the "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?", when I try to log into FB for Sense.

Can anyone help me out with my problem? I do not want to be forced into a factory reset, I know this is a silly problem but I figure an easy one every now and again is nice for our resident experts.
Thanks to all and God Bless

I would first try rebooting the phone... other then that do what Fatboy suggested a few posts up. Have you tried logging into FB from the phones browser?

 

[Devils Advocate]

I have logged in from the browser however I am interested in getting the Sense part to work. I have used every means mentioned on here with no luck.

I have tried for 3 months to figure out a fix for this and boy was that simple I had a harder time remembering my FB password than the fix was. Thank you so much.

I'm having the same problem too. But I'm trying to logged in and out and the same thing happens. I tried to removed Facebook HTC sense, restart and add account again but it seems doesn't work...... Anyone can help me... Many thanks....

I just had the same issues and figured it out. You need to go to the Accounts and Sync screen when you see the Facebook for HTC click on it, on the next screen click remove account. Then you are going to go back through and ADD account, selected the Facebook for HTC enter email and pass and it will re-sync and pics will upload as normal.

and I should have read all the other post first haha

This worked perfectly for me, I haven't been able to use Facebook for HTC Sense for months only the regular Facebook to upload images. Thank you for the tip.

This is the major issue I have had since the last OTA update. Since I've had the phone I've at least once a month had the phone dump all of my FB sync information. Then I would have to resync and all my contact pictures would come back and things like that. As a pilot, I travel a lot for work, and it usually happens when I turn my phone back on after a flight. I think it just gets all confused with being in different locations all of the time and sometimes just dumps the FB stuff.

I find it insane how much the FB sync overrides stuff on the phone. The +1 phone number being the perfect example. HTC needs to fix the interface with FB, really badly.

Ever since the OTA, when it dumps the FB stuff, a few of my contacts show back up with a generic silhouette head shot that is white and kinda low quality. If I try to manually get fB to sync that contact it won't do it. I have to do what is described here. Remove account. Reboot. Readd account. Then it all comes back. Until it dumps again. Then I have to go through that process again, including the reboot.

One other weird thing is there have always been a few contacts that the phone doesn't catch them to link to their FB profile. Some of them it will figure out eventually, some of them I have to manually link, and then some, this is really weird, I try to manually link and then it just ignores me and doesn't link the FB profile to the contact. It's always the same few people that it absolutely will not link their contact info to their FB profile. Anyone run into those issues?
