Question HTC Clock - no Facebook updates

Hi guys,

This problem has been driving me nuts for the last week:

I love the HTC Clock on the ChaCha with Facebook messages underneath. Much more useful than the weather (Jeez! look out the window!)

Anyhoo, for the last week or so it's been saying "no recent updates" my daughter suggested I just didn't have any decent friends but no, pressing the panel takes me to loads of updates in HTC's Facebook app.

I've tried clearing the cache on Sense, toggling WiFi on and off, rebooting the phone. Still nothing

I can't see how I can get to any settings for the clock, it must hang off of something else but what?

Both the Facebook's own homepage widget and HTC's Friendstream both seem to be working fine. Hope someone can help!

Thanks,

Andy

Aha. I had this exact problem last week and made me realise how much I missed the feature. No end of rebooting, removing the widget / adding it again seemed to fix it. Then had a go a looking for other widgets to use instead, but I couldn't find anything that fit.

Anyway - the solution is to go:

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All

Scoot down to 'Facebook for HTC Sense'

First go 'Clear Cache' if that options on.
Second go 'Clear Data'

You'll get a pop up telling all data will be deleted, click OK.

How go back to home click on the Clock widget, go back.....

And hopefully, you're back in business!!!

Yay!

After reseting the data I had to re-authorise my "f" button and "dick about" a bit with the facebook app... then the little sync arrow appeared at the top and it all started working

Thanx!

Tried all of the above with Wifes phone and It didn't work, Then again she has like hundreds of facebook contacts through the stupid games she plays on there so maybe there is just too much info to sync with such a small amount of memory on the device, Anyway I don't care as its her phone lol

Hi,
I'm having the same problem.
I deleted the Facebook application. I installed again.
"Facebook" application, and the "Facebook for HTC Sense" I deleted the application data. But it was not the solution. Still does not update facebook widget.

How can I solve this problem?
