I had this same problem no matter how many times I tried. A few weeks later I gave it another shot, and it inexplicably worked. Facebook may have possibly changed something in the background, so if I were you I'd try again.

I found a really good workaround by using facebook jabber transport via hot-chilli.net. You only have to do a few things:

1. you need a google-account
2. you need a software like gajim
3. in gajim:
a) login to your google-talk account
b) under action -> services type "jabber.hot-chilli.net"
c) find the facebook-transport and add it to your google talk
d) follow the steps and use username@chat.facebook.com to login
e) now facebook-chat is integrated to your google-chat account, independently from the software. You can verify that by going to your googlemail account. On the left side you will see your google-talk buddies AND your facebook-buddies.
4. Last step is just to login on google-talk with your palm pre or any other device, that supports google talk.

This solution is device independent and can be used by any device, that supports the jabber protocol or google-talk.

Greetings

ok i keep getting stuck at the part where i go to "action -> services type jabber.hot-chilli.net"
im using psi and i get the error "the sender has sent xml that is malformed or that cannot be processed" so i never get the agent list to use...can anybody help me?

*EDIT*
well i searched for another transport service and found a great listing at http://www.jabberes.org/servers/serv...es_online.html from there i found jabme.de and it's working well so far

Just add the line

69.63.181.104 talk.google.com

and add a facebook account as if it where a gmail account, so <username>@chat.facebook.com

Voila!

BTW: Google Talk does not actually use "talk.google.com", so it continues to work as normal

How it works: the messaging application can use any xmpp (jabber) service. In the code, however, it is restricted to google talk. (Ref Enabling Jabber, not just Google Talk - WebOS Internals | Google Groups )

The ip address above is actually "chat.facebook.com", so we impersonate facebook as google talk.

For more info on facebook chat clients see Help Center | Facebook

hey, can you please help me, i did everything you said..i install the patch using webos quick install then i create a facebook username and sign out. restart my palm pixi plus. then lastly, i went to the messaging add account click on gmail, and then i entered my username@chat.facebook.com along with my password. BUT, i end up with a error saying "could not connect to the server". please help me i have trying to get this done a very long time please!! thanks in advance

" then type
mount -o remount, rw /
vi /etc/hosts.
once the file opens press i to enter insert mode and move your curson just below the last line with characters. ignore the lines with '~'. then type 69.63.181.104 talk.google.com
press esc to exit insert mode.
press x to save again you have to make sure u are not on insert mode. quit by typing :q!
mount -o remount, ro /
reboot
and then go to facebook and get your username from the account settings.
add account to messaging and bingo!"
I didn't understand this properly... Where to type those characters??? Can anyone please help regarding this???

its not working for me! in fact nothing is working right with me in WebOS, I just get on it and I cant get working MSN or Facebook Chat.
in the Facebook chat patch I get the message "could not connect to the sever try again" WHY IS THAT? I am very angry about it. when I tried the plugins for MSN just does not install! WebOS is simply fantastic, but I'm very upset because he could not install anything
(I have Palm Pixi Plus system in version 1.4.5)

Please can someone REALLY help me?
