Out of the blue I can't use the fb app to post comments or anything. Everything shows up all new posts and emails but I can't reply to anything. I did not install anything for a long time so nothing has been changed or updated! I deleted fb from my phone and re installed with the same problems. Any ideas.
the 1.8 beta completely stopped working for me but the 1.7 is working fine but is soo slow compared to the 1.8. anyone elses 1.8 stopped working out of the blue?
alright fellas, so i think i figured out how to get this beta working again. i did my little trick on friday and it's been flawlessly working since then. so lets begin.
make sure u have 1.8 installed on ur bb, log out, hop onto ur pc and log into fb, go over to the account tab -> applications setting...delete "facebook for blackberry smartphones" the usual. log out. Log back into ur BB and let fb load. hop back onto ur pc and log back into fb but this time go -> account -> account settings -> notifications. What u should see is the majority of the options unselected both for sms and email delivery. leave it like that..except for 1. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and under "other applications" u should have "facebook for bb smarphones" it should be unselected. SELECT IT. don't worry, u will not get a single email. But this is what enables it to communicate with the handheld which is something it stopped doing. so...click it (in the email delivery column), save changes and log out. and thats it. Then test it with a poke or something. i have friend who always pokes me back...and her poke came through.
so try it out and if it works, spread the word aaaaand...let me know.
Didn't work. I get facebook notification emails (after going back into facebook and checking my account settings) but the notifications never make it into Facebook app as they did with the 1.7.
Hey John, u wouldn't happen to have a working OTA of the 1.8 beta? since the official release, they've all been taken down but the official release doesn't work for me at all. Whereas the beta worked like a charm. :( I know someone somewhere knows of a working OTA for the beta...at least i have faith lol.
