Help Facebook App: Authentication Failed after successful login

I've been having this problem for almost a week. On my HTC EVO 4g, when I log into the Facebook app, I can see my news feed for about 10-30 seconds before I am kicked out with the "Authentication Failed" message. Sometimes, I just get the "Authentication Failed" message right away.

I have tried uninstalling all updates, and it allows me to log in under the original version that was loaded on the phone, and everything works fine, but once I update to the current verison it starts giving me this error again.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Could it simply be an issue with the latest version of the app? What other suggestions could help me fix this problem?

Thank you in advance
 
Welcome to the forums, IrishJim.

The trick seems to be to do as you did, but slightly differently: First clear cache and data on the Facebook app, then uninstall the update, then reboot and start over with the app as before.

Ymmv. ;)
 
Thank you for the reply. I tried this several times and the problem is still taking place. Any other suggestions from anyone?
