Default Facebook account in system settings.

So, not sure what I did, but my Facebook account has disappeared from my list of accounts on my phone. When I go to add a new account, the Motorola Facebook icon is already checked. If I select it, it says I can only have one Facebook account. So, it both does and doesn't think i have a Facebook account. The icon in the list from the Facebook app does nothing, which i think is normal behavior. I do not get profile pics from Facebook in my contacts, so it is not syncing.

Truth be told, this is only an annoyance. I do not want to reset to factory (I have way too many apps to reinstall, which would be more annoying than this problem). But, if anyone can think of how I could manually convince the system to let me re-add the account, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had the same problem, and I did a trick with SQlite Editor

Install it then,
In SQLite Editor you select: Accounts Storage -> serviceaccounts.db -> accounts -> then you delete the line which have "Facebook" in the column "account_pretty_name"


After a reboot I was able to re-enter a Facebook account in the blur app.
And now it works perfectly

This is an older thread, but I'm having the same problem on my new RAZR MAXX (Verizon, unrooted, stock 2.3.6). I have 2 facebook icons under "My Accounts", one that allows me to put my log in info in and nothing else, the second that does nothing when I click it. I am not able to get my calendar or my contacts to sync with facebook and I'm at a loss.

What I've tried so far:

Rebooting
Deleting the FB account info and re-entering it within the My Accounts settings.
Uninstalling FB app (the unresponsive FB icon goes away in My Accounts), reinstalling and rebooting.

When that didn't work I ended up calling the new Google help and the person I talked too ran me through the steps I had already taken and suggested I contact FB as it appears that the issue is with the app. I am pulling the app straight from Google Play, but it would make sense as that is the culprit since it's not syncing with Calender or Contacts.
