Facebook For BlackBerry Smartphone​s

This is just a general enquirery that maybe only somebody from RIM may be able to answer how come other OS's E.G iPhone and Android have the function to locate the town you're in and add it to a status for example when you put a status on instead of saying Via Blackberry it will say Near/From London England I am currently testing the Beta of Facebook V3 and was very dissapointed to learn that this hasn't been added yet although I am glad you can now tag people in status's now any idea if this is planned for a future update maybe? Thanks Craig

Why is it not included in the app, I don't know.  What I do know is that you're asking a forward-thinking question about an app, the kind of question that NEVER gets answered by RIM.  I think you'll have to wait it out to see what comes with future updates.
I hope that clears things up for you.

    I cannot seem to get this to show up on my FB Page although my wife with a 8330 had no issues and we downloaded and installed same time same way.   Anyone have any clue as it should be on the FB Page and I know it is linked

    HI,
    The link contains not only the setup articles but links to the error conditions and resolutions.
    One question, have you upgraded the TOUR or did you load your application data from the previous phone to it.
    Check the following. At the home screen, select options, advanced options, applications, check that only one version of
    Facebook is loaded, and that it is version 1.6.0.21

  • Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones app not working!

    So, I recently updated the facebook app to v.3.2.0.12 on my BB Curve 8520 and I seem to be having some trouble using it since then. It was working absolutely fine this morning, but now when I open the app, it's taking too long to load the news feed, and is not loading any of my friend's wall, or mine at all. Neither is it opening the chat. It keeps retrying but it never opens!
    Any immediate help with this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First thing... Go to the Facebook for BlackBerry > Options > Logout. Close the app and reopen and log back in.
    Second, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

  • Error "Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"

    I have a Curve 8300.  With OS v4.5.0.81.  And I am on a BB Social network plan through my cell providor "Fido".
    I mainly use it for Facebook & Twitter  and have no problems using either app.  However I was prompted for an update for my twitter recently but wasn't near a wifi spot to update.  Just decided to update today at home where I do have wifi.  However when I go to do the update, it gives me the following error:
    "Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"
    I have scoured for answers but haven't had much luck.  I tried checking for OS updates.  I apparently have the most current one that my phone will support.  I uninstalled twitter and then tried to reinstall it via the twitter Icon on my phone.  Got the same error.  Tried reinstalling it through app world, it installed just fine.  However it installed the version that I had previously had.  So I went to twitter's settings and checked for updates.  It prompted for one as I expected it would.  And when I tried to get the update.  It gave me that error again.  I can use twitter as it is, but I don't see why my phone shouldn't be able to get all the updates for various apps.  Is it a software compatability issue?  Is it a hardware compatability issue?  Is there anything I can do to get the update or do I just have a phone that won't take some app updates?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    The 8300 is not listed in the device upgrade table for Blackberry device OS v5.0. The newer versions of apps like Twitter and Facebook require device OS v5.0 to run correctly. Might be time to consider a new device!

  • Facebook for blackberry smart phones

    hi
    just got a bb 9300 3g phone for xmas, downloaded facebook for smartphones, how when i send a message it comes up either via facebook mobile or just blank, everyone elses comes up sent via blackberry? am i doing something wrong?

    Hello beeb10..
    Welcome to the forum..
    Let me explain.. There are 2 types of Facebook.. Mobile and smartphone..
    Well, I send a message via facebook rarely so I have no idea about it.
    To see the difference between sent via blackberry or mobile is from the status.. If you using facebook for blackberry to update your status, it will appear "sent via blackberry" and that will only notice when you open facebook from PC.
    If there is a notice that "sent from mobile web", that means it update from mobile browser.. It's very simple, just open the browser and go to www.facebook.com, try to update status from there.
    After that, using the PC and go to facebook website.. See your profile and you will find the difference..
    Hope my explaination is helpful..
    Best regards

  • Unable to log into Facebook for BlackBerry 10 since last year

    Please help me understand why the facebook app for BlackBerry 10 doesn't allow me to login at all. See the attached screen shot which may not successfully load (error message reads as follows "sorry, an unexpected error occurred. Please try again later), I haven't had the chance to even submit my login credentials. This has happened every single time I click the app for several months now.
    Bought my Z30 last year summer/ fall and love it except for the lack of app selections.
    However no luck even after the two BlackBerry 10 OS updates to 10.2.1 and the last two Facebook for BlackBerry 10 updates to 10.4.0.12. Un-installing, re-installing, deleting from phone and also removing from My BlackBerry World account did not work.
    I have no problems logging into the facebook app made for iPhone, iPad. I'm able to login into my Facebook on Mac computer. Windows computer and even on the BlackBerry browser.
    I have already exhausted my options with hours on the phone with tech support at Phone company.
    I am hoping I can get some help without having to wipe my phone completely or having to send it into the phone company.
    In addition, they will give me a loaner which so far I'm told all their stores only have z10 and no Z30s to give me while my Z30 will be in for repairs.
    Any useful advice would be appreciated. Please read the above in its entirety before responding so you will know what I have already done.
    Thanks in advance.

    Photoshop.com is gone. If you had photos stored there, you should have received a series of emails about their being moved to Revel. You can't sign in because there's nothing to sign in to.

  • Facebook for Blackberry causing problems for Facebook site?

    For 3 days I have had problems with my Facebook account.  It occurred to me that it could possibly be my Facebook for Blackberry application that is causing the problems with my online facebook.. My problems are many..(these probs are on my ONLINE facebook only) ....My chat does not open or show friends online, my news feed only shows posts for about the past 30 minutes and no link at bottom to "view more", no option to "view more" on other pages as well.  I cannot view my notifications, it just sits there and spins when I click to view, I cannot access the notifications page in settings nor can I edit or delete any of my facebook applications. I have this problem on any computer I use to access my facebook account, but Facebook on my Blackberry seems to be working fine, except I only get email notifications, no facebook notifications, when there is activity. On my Blackberry, I can view all posts in the news feed, see online friends and chat. I am posting this here because after lots of searching in Facebook Help, I read that sometimes your mobile device can be the cause of your problems on your Facebook account online.  Has anyone ever experienced this or know if it is the cause of my headaches or how to fix it? I have cleared the cookies and history on my Blackberry. I have done battery pulls, log out of Facebook, everything short of deleting the application a reinstalling. Any help would be greaty appreciated! Thanks!

  • Facebook for Blackberry: can't see any photos

    Hi,
    I'm new to Blackberry, I just bought a Curve 8520 a friend did not use anymore (he got a newer Blackberry, haha). And I'm facing some difficulties with Facebook for Blackberry: I can't see any photo.
    OS: 5.0.0.900
    App: Facebook for Blackberry (by RIM) - version 1.9.0.28
    Carrier: Rogers Wireless. On prepaid plan (Blackberry Social 40)
    Everything worked alright this week, I remember using the Facebook app on Monday and Tuesday wihout noticing anything. I happen to have noticed on friday night that no profile picture nor photos in photo albums to show when in Facebook app (but the problem could have started before).
    It does not seems like it's a problem with Facebook authorizations, as I can see every profile picture when I'm on my desktop PC and when I go to Facebook mobile website using my BB's browser on WiFi.
    If I try to see a photo from an album, I get the followinf error: "Failed to download the requested image".
    If you have any suggestion or need more info, please don't hesitate, I'll gladly read and answer you!
    (I tried a quick search on this problem, but did not find anything really helpfull. But this guy seems to have had this problem on last April, and he did not get an answer...)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Where did you get the device?  Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options?  Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

  • Myspace for Blackberry May Not Be Nice with Facebook for Blackberry

    Hello:
    I have been using the Facebook for Blackberry app for several months, and it's been very good to me.
    Last night, I've installed the Myspace for Blackberry app. Generally speaking, it's a nice app. I have a few issues with it, but really no deal breakers.
    Except one.
    Ever since I've installed the app, the Facebook for Blackberry app has stopped receiving (and sending) notifications. I have received at least 10 notifications today on my Facebook profiles page, but none of them were forwarded to the Blackberry app.
    I'd appreciate any assistance with resolving this issue. Thanks!
    Velanche

    Myspace has been updated. Make sure you update yours! That is true about the facebook notifications! I had the same thing happen !  I am just going to periodically check my notifications on both! I agree, facebook is more addictive!
    ((But my blackberry is most addictive!!!!))))

  • Introducing Enhanced Google Mail plug-in for BlackBerry smartphones

    Enhanced Google Mail™ plug-in for BlackBerry® smartphones
    Product Overview
    The Enhanced Google Mail™ plug-in for BlackBerry® smartphones introduces an advanced level of email service integration for BlackBerry smartphones. It supports additional Google Mail™ features that provide BlackBerry® Internet Service subscribers with broader access to their Google Mail accounts while on the go.  The Enhanced Google Mail plug-in is optional. Existing and new Google Mail integrations will continue to function without it.
    Note: The Enhanced Google Mail plug-in requires BlackBerry® Device Software 4.5 or later and Google Mail integration within the BlackBerry Internet Service. The Google Mail integration must use IMAP, not POP, to function correctly. Google Mail accounts integrated after March 2009 use IMAP. Deleting an existing account and re-integrating it will ensure that the account is using IMAP.
    BlackBerry smartphone users with existing integrated Google Mail accounts must re-associate their email accounts to receive the link to download the Enhanced Google Mail plug-in.
    Features
    Add and remove labels and stars on email messages
    Report spam email messages
    Perform local and remote searches
    Archive email messages
    View related email messages as a single conversation (threaded view)
    Note: Synchronization happens in one direction, from the BlackBerry smartphone to the Google Mail account. This means that some changes that take place in the webmail UI are not reflected on the BlackBerry smartphone. These include:
    Applying labels and stars to email messages in Google Mail after they are retrieved by the BlackBerry Internet Service.
    Labels that are renamed in Google Mail are not applied to the corresponding labels on the BlackBerry smartphone. The new label is synchronized to the BlackBerry smartphone, but does not replace the existing label.
    Email messages that are marked as read, archived, or spam in Google Mail are not marked as spam on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Labels cannot be created, renamed, or deleted using the BlackBerry smartphone.

    I'm having similar show-stopper issues.  I should point out that I'm not actually using an @gmail.com address; I'm using a Google Apps account for my own domain name.   Perhaps that accounts for some of my issues.  I'm using an AT&T Bold with OS 4.6.0.167 (Platform 4.0.0.217), and I have a BES plan to get mail from my employer (the phone and the AT&T account are mine).  I did not upgrade from an old Gmail plugin; I installed the Gmail plugin for the first time.
    1)  Having messages appear in both the main Messages inbox and the Gmail inbox is not a convenience. It would be nice to be able to segregate these, as with the option to keep SMS/MMS messages out of the main inbox with Messages Options > General Options > SMS and Email Inboxes > Separate.
    2)  I have a lot of Gmail filter rules that apply labels to incoming messages and "skip the inbox."  When I receive one of these messages on my Blackberry, I get a new message notification (asterisk) on both my main Messages inbox and my Gmail inbox.  The "skip the inbox" messages are visible in the main Messages inbox, but not in the Gmail inbox (unless I Filter on "All Mail" in the Gmail inbox).  To get rid of the new message asterisks, I need to open both inboxes.  
    The whole reason I choose the "skip the inbox" option is that I don't want to see these messages unless I explicitly filter on that label.  It's bad enough that I get them in my Messages inbox, but to have Messages behave one way and Gmail another is nutty.
    3)  I'm not seeing all of my new Google Apps mail on my Blackberry, even when I choose Filter > All Mail from the Gmail inbox.  In the standard Gmail client I see everything; but only selected messages appear on the Blackberry.  I haven't been able to pin down what the pattern is.  At first it seemed that incoming mail had to have a label applied to it by a filter to appear on the Blackberry, because all the messages I have been able to receive on the Blackberry have had a label.  I haven't yet seen any unlabeled message.  What what makes it tough to pin down is that I have never received a test message I have sent to myself, and I have tried using my work e-mail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and AOL Webmail.  0% success rate sending myself a test message (even when a filter applies a label to these messages); 0% success rate receiving mail that Gmail filters don't apply a label to.
    I guess the issue could be with Google's IMAP implementation.  I haven't yet looked at my inbox with another IMAP client to see how that looks.  I'll try that next.
    4)  On the topic of IMAP:  If that's the interface to Gmail, it seems strange that I can't view my whole inbox.  I can only view new mail since the date/time I first set up the Blackberry Gmail plugin.  That would make sense for POPmail, but not for IMAP should be able to show me my whole inbox.
    Google's Blackberry Gmail app (from m.google.com/mail) has none of these issues, but it has other limitations (no push mail; no HMTL in messages), so I'd use Blackberry's plugin if it worked better.  For now I expect to abadon after another couple of days of noodling.

  • Facebook for Blackberry

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with uploading pictures via the FB app for Blackberry. Can anyone give me a solution to this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks

    First try this -
    When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which minor issues with the BlackBerry device.
    Also check your FB app version if its not updated then update to recent version from App World.

  • Enhanced Google Mail plug-in for BlackBerry smartphones

    I'm pretty happy with enhanced Gmail plug-in for BlackBerry, I use it for my gmail id and I'd like to use it also for my Google Apps id as others have done.
    However I can't because the MX records for my Google Apps domain point to Postini servers and not to Google and this configuration, it seems, prevents the BIS servers from determining that the domain is indeed a Google Apps domain.
    I would welcome any work around suggestions or ideally a fix from BlackBerry.
    Regards,
    Warren.
