Fix for Facebook 3.0.0.15 login issues on OS5 devices...

All,
I have a Blackberry Tour 9630 that runs OS5 and like many people, I was getting the "Facebook servers cannot be reached (0)" error after downloading the latest Facebook 3.0.0.15 upgrade. 
I just got off a support call with RIM and here is the fix they gave me:
1. Uninstall Facebook and reboot the device
2. When done with step one, go to Blackberry App World but DO NOT go to My World or anywhere else!
3. Press and hold the <ALT> key and while holding it, type in the letters "rst".  which clears the App World cache. Note that your on screen indication is that you are dumped out to the screen which you launched App World from, but the cache is cleared.
4. Restart App World and locate Facebook.  On mine, it was right on the front page of "Featured Applications".  When I opened the link, the version there was then the 2.0.0.58 level release of Facebook.
5. Install this 2.0.0.58 level release of Facebook and enjoy Facebook again.
The version 3.0.0.15 vesrion of Facebook apparently has issues with OS5 devices so in the future, DON'T install version 3.0.0.15 on these devices.  Should Blackberry release a newer version, were it me anyway, I'd check the release notes BEFORE I installed it to make sure they have adressed this login issue specifically.
Hope this helps someone out there...I know it made my day and I learned how to clear the App World cache in the process!

Hi,
I'm having the specific problem described here with the Facebook app. The device is a Curve 9360 with OS5. I followed the steps described and it did correctly remvoed the references to version 3.0.0.15 (which had been loaded). I know that the cache must have been cleared because when I tried to delete and re-install the app I would always see the "re-install" button and after clearing the cache as described it did not say re-install, but rather Download.
However, it is still finding the 3.0.0.15 version of the Facebook app, not the 2.0.0.58 (or any other previous version).
Is there another way that I can force it to install the older version or is there a way that I can get that older version directly rather than just letting the App World pick it for me.
Thanks in advance for your help. And good work on this note - this was the best information I found on this problem in 2 days of searching.

    Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

    I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
    Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
    Hope this helps.

  • FIX FOR FACEBOOK NOTIFICATIONS (THIS REALLY WORKS!!!)

    If you have ios6 and you put your login into for facebook intergration then all you need to do is login to facebook from a computer and go to ACCOUNT SETTINGS then NOTIFICATIONS from there under EMAIL FREQUENCY if the BOX is checked then uncheck it you can check it back after you are done. Almost there scroll down to the bottom of the page this will be under ALL NOTIFICATIONS click on EDIT OTHER APPLICATIONS check the BOX that has IOS and then save then you can check the EMAIL FREQUENCY BOX and once done to check to see if it is working just send yourself a message or have someone send you one
    WITHOUT IOS6 INTERGRATION JUST LEAVE EMAIL FREQUENCY BOX unchecked

  • HT5219 When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hot-plug issue with a Thunderbolt device.

    When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hotplug issue with a Thunderbolt device.  I got a dock to easy my up-and-go time when moving from using my laptop on the desk vs in meetings.  Instead my computer crashes and I have to reboot.
    I am seeing this issue with the 2012 Macbook pro Retina running Bootcamp with Windows 8.1 x64 bit with the F4U055 Dock from Belkin

    I can confirm that hotplug does work properly on Windows 8.1 with Asus Thunderbolt ExII (Thunderbolt 2)
    But does not work with Windows 8.1 and MacBook Pro Retina (Thunderbolt 1)
    To get hot plug working with the Asus Thunderbolt ExII, you install the intel thunderbolt drivers, and then you get an interface where you can eject devices, and do things like setup more detailed security. However, this doesn't have any effect with the MacBook Pro. I suspect that either:
    1) Apple's Thunderbolt hardware doesn't support hotplugging on windows
    2) Hotplugging on Windows requires Thunderbolt 2
    So, I should check on my Mac Pro (dustbin edition) to see if it works there with Thunderbolt II
    Be great to hear if anybody has any success with this on an Apple device!

  • Fix for FACEBOOK's Compression

    Hi!
    I’ve created a piece of vector-artwork in ILLUSTRATOR (CC), looks WoW!
    Once my .png uploaded to FACEBOOK, it has lots of artifacts and looks pretty bad, compared to my original file.
    I read several articles in order to fix the problem, but nothing explained there seems to help solving the issue, so far.
    My illustration is just for a post, not a profile image. However, the artifacts mess it up.
    The good news: some guys manage to upload clear and sharp .pngs to FACEBOOK, e. g. this one:
    https://www.facebook.com/AdobeIllustrator/photos/a.80514373225.82674.64138473225/101525954 43353226/?type=1&theater
    Any hints how they get it sharp and free of artifacts would be much appreciated!

  • Anyone have a fix for Facebook video chat not working in Mavericks?

    I have seen many people having the problem of video chat not working in Facbook since upgrading to Mavericks. The good news is the camera icon has reappeared, but it still is not working.
    Any help would be AWESOME!!
    thx

    Hi,
    If it is in Messages it will need to be Messages to Messages.
    i.e. a Mac Buddy also using iChat or Messages to do Jabber Video chats in the app.
    This means it will not connect to someone using a Jabber app that can do Video or the web Page login and using "chat" from there.
    I believe the Web Browser method with Facebook's own end to end connection use Flash.
    You may need to update a version of Flash if your have it or install it if you do not.
    FaceTime would not connect to the Jabber connections that Facebook is running.
    FaceTime is it's own service and does not connect to others.
    Messages and FaceTime are run on different servers and you can in fact run different IDs in each.
    (this can causes issues when your Invoke a FaceTime Video Chat from Messages which presumes the Contact is using the same ID).

  • May have found a fix for iPhone 4 freezing/restarting/locking up issue.

    Ok, so I am one of the many who have suffered from my iPhone 4 freezing, restarting and/or locking up on me.
    I have combed through the discussion threads searching for a fix but never found one that was proven to work. Things like hard resets, restoring from backup, restoring from new etc... People would claim one of the above fixes worked only to return to the thread minutes, hours or days later to report that the problems had started again.
    I understand that the fix that worked for me may not work for everyone, but I'm sure it will work for some. It is a simple fix that I have not seen mentioned in any thread and thought it would be worth sharing.
    Fix: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    My iPhone 4 was either freezing, restarting or locking up on almost a daily basis, sometimes several times a day. Since resetting my settings almost a week ago, I have had no problems!
    It is the simplest and least inconvenient fix I have seen, so it's worth giving it a shot!
    Good luck, and I hope it works for most if not all of those experiencing these issues!

    My iphone 4 just started to warm up and the battery is draining quick.  Closed everything and reset to no avail.  Turned off bluetooth, increased push time and checked location settings for new applications.  Weather Doodle was a bit suspicious as it had a purple direction indicator next to the setting.  The only other new app I installed was Lego instruct.  I disabled one of the 4 mail accounts I had that is having network difficulties, went to airplane mode and still I see %1 drain every 10 or 15 minutes.  I'll remove the new new apps and reset to see if it is related to the new apps.  If that doesn't work, I'll try email account reset at home wifi and see if that fixes the issues.  
    Thank you for the information.

  • One fix for 10.8.5 update Wifi Off Issue

    I applied the smaller 10.8.5 update the other day. After the update, the wifi on my late 2008 MacBook would not turn on. I applied the larger 10.8.5 Combo update today and it resolved the problem.

    Hi all,
    I have a fix!
    just got off the phone with tier 2 apple tech support.
    I have a mackbook 2008 and when I upgraded to 10.8.5 my wifi was completely broken.
    Went through all of the typical reset PRAM, remove battery...etc.
    Here is the fix:
    Go to network prefs
    remove the existing wifi configuration
         select wifi
         select the - (minus sign) at the bottom left of the window.
    Select Shut Down from the Apple menu.
    Restart the computer.
    Open Network prefs and select the + (Plus sign) at the bottom left of the window
    For me, WIfi connection was populated already.
    Select Create
    Go to the menu bar and you should now see all of your typical networks displayed.
    Select your network.
    Waallla! Sanity restored and your Macbook is back in action.
    Have a great day!!

  • Fix for Samsung Monitor not working after 10.6 install

    This quick fix solution worked for me. Hope it works for you:
    I have an 15inch MacBook Pro that I've just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on.
    Prior to this install, I've had it hooked up to my Samsung SyncMaster 2243 via an Apple MDP/VGA adapter and a third party VGA cable. It has been flashing on and off a black screen every now and then for the past 2 years and I googled that it was just a crappy communication between the MBP and the Samsung... but now since installing 10.6.3, the Samsung display just flashes the desktop for a second then turns black for good - occationally flashing analogue/digtal prompt display. Tried everything for hours. Nothing worked, thought I was gonna have to buy a new all Apple VGA lead then came across this solution. Tried it and it worked IMMEDIATLY!!! And the monitor doesn't flash black anymore AT ALL!
    WHAT TO DO TO FIX:
    Go to => System Preferences  => Energy Saver => change graphic settings to Higher Performace.
    Cheers!!

    I figured it out.  NVIDIA has an update specifically for 10.6.8 and several of their video GPU's.  go HERE to download the driver. It also took away the slow response and flicker I was experiencing.
    Here is the update info:
    CUDA  Application Support:
      In order to run Mac OS X Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of  the Quadro 4000 for Mac product, users will need to download and install the CUDA 4.x driver  for Mac located here.
    New in Release 256.02.25f01:
    This driver update is required if upgrading to the  latest Mac OS X v10.6.8.
    Contains performance improvements for a wide range  of applications
    Contains fixes for several corruption and crash  bugs, including issues with Autodesk Mudbox, and World of Warcraft.
    Contains support for display rotation.
    Adds Driver Archive/Restore Functionality.

  • IChat 6 changed group name to Facebook but keeps reverting to Buddies, an fix for this?

    I want the group "Buddies" to be named "Facebook", I have no problems changing it, it just won't stick for more than a few minutes at a time before
    it reverts back to "Buddies" again.
    I find this very annoying, is there a fix for this?
    NB: I have tried pretty much everthing I can think of, I hope someone here will have the answer I'm looking for.
    TIA

    Hi,
    Most likely this is a second Login issue.
    It can depend on where you are logged in and with what app and the abilities and priorities that login has ((which somewhat depends on Screen Name /Buddy list type)
    AIM Accounts (Any Screen Name  that logins in to AIM)
    These can have Multiple Logins including a web Log in (web SIte) an AIM Express login, another App and /or another computer.  (The web site Login could have default Login period as long as two weeks if you don't specifically Log Out)
    So in this case when you change anything via one login the other "Corrects it" due to the constant feedback for both logins.
    One Exception if the "Group" called Recent Buddies
    In iChat 4 and Above this "group" can be turned On or Off display-wise in the Accounts part of the iChat Preferences.
    It holds names of people that have contacted you that are not in the Buddy List itself.
    The List is held at the AIM servers and you only have Read Access (You cannot delete people from this list unless adding them to the Buddy List itself)
    It used to be possible to Delete the whole group but I have not tried this for a while (Since iChat 3)
    I have not tried to rename it but I doubt that it can be.
    Multiple Login Effects
    When you login in to AIM twice, particualrly in iChat on two computers or Different apps on the same computer, you have two Buddy List telling the AIM servers who is in the Buddy List and what the groups are that they are in.
    Although Adding something is easy and will appear in the other Buddy List (such as a new Buddy or a new Group) editing Groups or deleting Buddies is almost impossible.
    Jabber Acounts  (Facebook, Google and other Jabber Logins)
    Logging in to the Google Site (the Gmail Web page or iGoogle pages) where chat is available has the same priority as the iChat App.  Whichever was the last login will then tend to take preference.
    Most Jabber  apps can alter the Priority
    This measn your Home computer, Work Cmputer and phone for instance can have different priorities set so messages get sent to the "right" one at the right time.
    If your Login is not the highest Priority one then you are unlikely to be able to edit any Group names or Delete Buddies.
    Obviously for most people with Google IDs the issues is being logged in to the web site.
    As Facebook is also a Jabber server with a web site login available this should be considered as well.
    Check both Google and Facebook's default Login time if you don't ever Log Out as a specific action.
    (Quitting the page does not Count)
    Very few Jabber servers have Web Site Logins  (Jabber Australia does as the only one I know of).
    I am not aware that you can access the Chat options from those that do (check them individually)
    However second logins via Adium or ProteusX may well effect things if they are set to higher priorities.

    @the-edmeister
    Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
    ('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
    Great to have Sync. :)
