Can't get rid of notification msg: ""Authorize HTC sense to access your Facebook"

[androidtabloid]

I searched all over to a solution for this, and am absolutely not okay with the solution from HTC. In no case should you be forced to install applications via Facebook for basic access. To remove the notification, open "Friend Stream" and remove the link to your Facebook account then reboot your phone. I'm also not happy with all the people guessing on how to fix the problem in this thread... the "try this and try that" without knowing what you're talking about or having a replicable solution is just poor internets.

Excuse me? The people that have contributed in this thread (besides you) are trying to help. The point is to try. Everything they told the OP to try is bsed on knowledge that they have accumulated on things that COULD POSSIBLY help. If it doesn't help, it's not their fault. Welcome to the forum, but if you're going to criticize the members on here in YOUR FIRST POST, then that's not being a team player. We don't want that here.

*****ing about people trying to help you is poor 'internets'. If you don't want people to try to help, don't post for help. You sir need to learn some 'internets' etiquette.

The people here are trying to help you... this isn't a very good way of showing your appreciation for that.

On some things, the answers are cut and dry... on others, there are many variables that you have to consider.. keep that on mind...Thanx

I had the same issue. I uninstalled the updates on the regular FB app and the HTC authorization warnings were gone. I unchecked "Update Automatically" so it won't update again. I'm not telling anyone to try it, just stating what worked for me.

Welcome to the forum.
You're not the op, your first post is to complain about months old suggestions from folks trying to help? Really? Are you new to forums in general? If so head over to XDA developers. They'll take care of ya there.

That's strange because I occasionally get that message but I just hit the clear button and it goes away.

What does pi$$ me off is that I get the authentication fail message constantly and I have to log back in and sync everything. I'm getting tired of this absolute sh!t because the FB sync gives me a lot of photos for cann and message previews, and when sync fails, all my calendar stuff disappears. (birthdays mostly)

[toriaoxford]

Yes, I did... Is there any chance it's being caused by the I don't let Facebook sync with my contacts? (it asks that when you login the first time)

You need to check your 'Privacy' settings in Facebook and ensure that you enable apps. I did this and it has cured the problem for me. Good luck

Well you can always go and try... No I mean 'do' whatever you want. Since this is your first post I'd like to say good first impression. For the record it is NOT OK to bash people who are trying to help others for free. My solution to you is disable FaceBook and your problems will be solved.
Menu>Settings>Applications>All Then scroll to FaceBook and Disable. You don't have to try this I know it will work. Have a nice day.

Here is how I fixed this:

1) Remove all Facebook accounts from phone
2) Uninstall Facebook app (or all updates)
3) Disable Facebook for HTC Sense, Facebook Chat Widget, and Fb Chat in Settings-App-All
4) Reboot
5) Install/Update Facebook app
6) Add Facebook account back in
7) Do not use the Facebook app's "Logout" feature, it is NOT an exit button.

I have not had a single pop-up asking for authorization or any issue getting contacts photos for over a month since doing this, and I can still use the Facebook app normally.
