It could be one of two things:

1) Facebook changed the format of the emails they send out, so now the RIM app cannot correctly parse them and considers everything a 'Notification.' In this case FB can change the notification style back to something the RIM FB app understands, or RIM needs to recode the FB app to understand the new email notification style (and thus parse the messages correctly).

2) The RIM FB app is buggy and the latest 1.2 version is not parsing the emails correctly. Here our only option is RIM fixing the bugs.

Either way, we are stuck waiting and all the removal and reinstalling isn't going to change a thing.

Yea, I agree. And I heard that the problem is number two on your list. Someone on another forum said: "It is not your os, it is not your fault. it is the way the new Facebook app version does things. I work / live 2 blocks away from Facebook HQ my friend (who works there) says that they removed it to utilize memory. he also says that it will be back in the next version."

Idk if thats right, but I hope it is.

So does anyone still have the link to 1.1 then??

It's been about 2 days now that I have been able to receive and send messages perfectly, poke back, all that stuff. Maybe try uninstalling and re-installing again? I didn't install an old version, when I uninstalled, the FB icon took me to an install and I just followed that.

same here...my social status is falling!

I really do like the simplicity of it, and wish it would work again.

Has anyone heard a reason why it is not working now?

As for me, I'm getting some uncaught exception. If I remember correctly, it's an "unsupported operation exception." Uninstall/reinstall didn't help.

Agreed. Ironically, it seems to be working normally this morning. Time will tell.

Guys, has anyone noticed this draining battery life? I took it off my BB a long time ago due to it seemingly draining my battery and I never looked back to find out if that got fixed...

[fourstringfuror]

Nothing out of the ordinary, as far as I can tell. I browse heavily with my BB, so battery life is always shorter than normal. I get about a day and a half before the radio dies.

When you say working normally, does that mean you get a specific indicator when someone writes on your wall, where you can reply within the app, or a generic 'notification.'??

[fourstringfuror]

I had a conversation with a friend via several wall posts, all within the app. I received two friend requests and confirmed them, also within the app. It's been a good day so far.

Here's the error I get when I even try to use the Facebook application:

Uncaught exception: net.rim.device.api.system.UnsupportedOperationExce ption

Does anybody else know anything about this issue -- not that it's a show stopper.

Mine is working really well this morning, the way it should. With my birthday being today, this is a great look

[fourstringfuror]

Happy birthday, and good luck.

I really like this app.

The simplicity of it distills the essence of what is better about facebook.

I am glad mine is back up and running.

The same goes for m.facebook.com from your mobile.

[Stang68]

[fourstringfuror]

I haven't had any issues since I last posted. Everything is working like it should.
