    HELP: Facebook update screwed up my X!

    Last night I installed the update to the facebook app. I was playing around with the settings, and I changed the setting to "sync all". All apps are now opening to just a black screen, and not functioning, and some of my contacts are now linked to 17 "nativeFacebook" profiles. Is anyone else having similar problems with the facebook app update? Anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? I'm going to try uninstalling the facebook app altogether.

    Did you try turning off the facebook sync?
    Settings -> Sync Contacts -> Don't Sync.

    trying to uninstall the facebook app appears to have done some very bad things to the phone. the screen got stuck off, and now after a battery pull the boot is stuck on the eye.

    I would go with a Hard Reset.....

    1. Turn the phone off.

    2. Hold the Power and Home buttons down for about 5 seconds.

    3. A screen with an exclamation will appear. Tap the Search key.

    4. Confirm the selection.

    5. Select Yes — delete all user data then tap OK.

    The Droid X will then complete the hard reset.

    Then Don't sync FB

    thankfully, droid does fix itself: i let it sit with the eye while i did some research for work, and as I hit a wall I said to my boss "i've got to go to the verizon store" and as soon as I got back, it had booted successfully and uninstalled the fb app. Taking the millions of "nativeFacebook" profiles with it. Thanks for the help guys, I'm glad i didn't have to do a hard reset. that would've sucked.

    Crap, I just did the same update last night. I haven't tried it yet or anything though.

    EDIT: Well, tried it and mine seems to be working fine, thank god. I haven't done a resync or anything though.

    FWIW, mine went fine, too. I even turned on the Sync for a bit then turned it off. Still no problems.
