Talking Facebook for Blackberry Probs ? SOLVED !

Please Login to Remove!

Hey all,
Thought I would introduce myself x

I had problems with the fb for berry app today and yesterday infact and thought it was somehow connected with the changes to the website of fb..I have a live.co.uk email address associated with my berry and same on the app and my acct so I knew i would get my notifications.This did work then stopped .
I tried changing my email addy to another live.co.uk one and no joy , i deleted accts associated with my device , nothing.
So i created a googlemail one and hey presto ! Sorted instant probelm fix..

so i highly recommend to try associating a googlemail acct with ur berry and fb for berry app as this seems to have sorted out the problem.

Laura x

Welcome to the Forums, Laura.

So what problems for Facebook did your solution fix?

And for the record, my Facebook is also associated with my gmail account.

I also have my Gmail account set up for Facebook.
I think the problem getting fixed is a coincidence with Facebook actually fixing their news feed.

Well I like I said had my berry associated with a live.co.uk acct, it didnt seem to work even when i changed email so I thought of changing email provider . Maybe changing your own email provider from gmail to another would work for you in same way it has for me ?

Sorry, that is only coincidence. It has nothing to do with it.
But thanks for the suggestion

Well it fixed the problems of fb actually delivering all notifications to my berry , it had ceased to do so yet i could still send status updates and view friends walls etc as usual.

Whatever the solution i discovered Im glad I did as it was well hacking me off lol

Oh delivering the notifications... gmail is IMAP and instant mail delivery to your device. You probably did notice a big difference.

yeh , it was an instant difference, i mean when i had the live.co.uk addy associated i hardly even got emails sent to my berry even tho i changed settings etc to leave messages on the server like ur meant to do, as soon as i changed it i get every single one, much better i think

Well it was a solution tht worked for me , maybe changing the email address completely tht is associated with your berry and fb app ? I had to completely delete the fb app, then i deleted ALL email addresses associated with my berry.Then i went onto the fb website and changed my email address on there making sure it was the ONLY one associated with my fb,
then i associated the neww email addy with my berry , then reinstalled fb and it seemed to cure the problem,

what im saying is i used gmail but maybe the solution would work with any provider
