N97 - Reinstall Facebook App without wiping phone ...

There are more and more bad reviews everyday coming from N97 users regarding the OVI facebook app (besides the fact that it is really outdated). I have read about users wiping there phone to reinstall it, but there is an easier way.
When I tried to go into OVI to download the facebook app the download button was a dark gray. It's isn't OVI....this time...... It is actually because it's still on your phone. I don't know if this will help everyone, but I got my widget back.
Someone please post this in the review section of the Facebook app on the OVI store. I can't because I wasted my one and only review on bad mouthing OVI. I know a lot of people are looking for this fix and had the same problem as I did.
1. Go to Settings
2. Application Manager
3. Installed Apps
4. Scroll down to 'Facebook Installer' and hit 'Options' and then 'Uninstall'
5. Once it's cleared from the phone you can go back to the OVI store and finally be able download and install once again.
Facebook app hasn't changed at all, but it's back for anyone that has complained about it not being there. There are still no wall posts for this app and no chat which a lot of people are looking for. Hopefully a software update for the app is being worked on and being released soon.

I am a huge Nokia fan - and have even defended the N97 when it comes to iPhone users bashing it... but you would not believe on how disappointed I am Nokia have done this.
I too did a soft reset (after serious issues like contacts folder locking up and not allowing me to even access it and various other bugs) and now have lost Facebook, Accuweather etc. The phone is being majorly sold on the facebook application - being dubbed 'The Facebook Phone' - and the truth is it obviously cannot be anymore further than that...
After all... Facebook isn't even available in the Ovi Store for it... so how can it be a Facebook Phone?
Wish someone from Nokia would explain PROPERLY what the hell is going on!?
I cannot believe I'm about to say this (after owning several N-Series phones... 73, 93, 95, 95-2)... but maybe I should of got an iPhone?

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

Cannot reinstall Facebook app - Help?!

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help! I have the BB Curve, and upgraded to new Facebook app including chat about 4 weeks ago - so far it had been great. Today I tried to upload a photo and it froze completely during upload. I rebooted, BB was fine, but F/B app still frozen - rebooted once more, still no change. In desperation I went into App World and uninstalled the App. I have now gone back to my unistalled apps, located Facebook, but there is no 'Reinstall' icon to set it back up I have checked the reviews of the app an half a dozen other users have also had the same issue. Does anyone know how I can reinstall? I have checked my other uninstalled apps and they all have a button marked 'reinstall' except F/B. Is it lost forever?
Thanks
Lou
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I can't guarantee results with this method, but first go and make sure your facebook app is indeed gone. Next, from your phone's browser type in www.blackberry.com/facebook and try downloading it from there.
Let us know if that helps you.

How to send messages in Facebook app without using Messenger once deleted from iphone?

With all the rumors that the Facebook messenger app can check all your contacts, use your camera etc. Ive decided to remove the messenger app from my iphone. But now when I go into the Facebook App and tap on messages, it is requiring me to download the messenger app again and I no longer want this?
Can this be fixed?
Please help
Thank you
J

Facebook has moved messages to their own messages app, we are no longer able to send/receive messages without it. You can, however, use the mobile Facebook website in Safari: http://m.facebook.com You'll need to click the "Not now" button when you're prompted to install Facebook Messenger.

Help syncing iPhone to iTunes on new laptop without wiping phone's files?

My old laptop has broken and I bought a new one, I now obviously want to upload my music from my phone to iTunes on my laptop but I fear that this will wipe my phone. Is there a way of syncing my phone to iTunes without it wiping my phone?
I recently bought a new laptop because my old one broke. Now I obviously want to upload my music (from my iphone 4s) to iTunes on my laptop but I fear that this will wipe all music on my phone and I'd be left with nothing. A: Is there a way of me syncing my phone to iTunes without everything being wiped and B: Can I backup my music (for free) before syncing?
-When I first bought this phone and I synced it to itunes on my old laptop (and to my ipod touch), all numbers that I'd put in to the phone were wiped and everything was cleared. This is why I am scared that my music, photos and videos wil be wiped!
Thanks in advance for any help!

The iPhone is not a storage device. Instead it is merely a mirror of what is on the library of the computer it is synced with.
There is no Apple supported way to get content off the device that was not purchased via iTunes.
To get iTunes purchased content:
In iTunes, log in with your iTunes account and authorize computer.
Connect the device.
Do not sync!!!!
Select File > Transfer Purchases.
To obtain other media on the device you will need to search google for programs that can extract the content.

Selling GS3 for G4. Can I reinstall the Apps without paying them again?

I'm thinking about selling the old GS3 for the new G4.
1) Can I deinstall all the Apps from GS3 and reinstall them on the new G4 without having to pay the Apps all over again?
2) Can a potential buyer of mine (GS3) be able to keep all the Apps I purchased and use his own account to update the Apps?
Thanks
Thanks

1) Yes:

2) No.

Difficult to develop WP7 Apps without a phone and I don't want to leave Verizon

I've been with Verizon since 1993. My team is currently developing beta WP7 apps for doctors. While my team gets to test these on their WP7 phones from other providers, I'm stuck with a computer simulation. I'm hanging on as ling as I can, but if something doesn't come out soon, I seriously have to look into other providers.

Hi, I cant login to the facebook app on my iphone 5 ios 6.0.2. I keep getting an error message saying 'There was an error logging in using single sign on' when im asked to log in again i get a 'session expired' message. This only started happening yesterday. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

I am having the same problem and took the following steps to mitigate it to no avail.
1. I deleted the Facebook app on the phone and turned off Facebook in the iPhone's system-wide settings.
2. I re-enabled Facebook in the iPhone's system-wide settings and reinstalled the Facebook app and logged in again. It worked. For about an hour.
3. I completely restored the phone to a previous backup (before the problems started) and reenabled Facebook .... reinstalled the app.... and now it works intermittenly. But it hasn't worked in about 12 hours now (just tried a few minutes ago).
Please advise.

Facebook App - Not receiving notifications

Since yesterday, the facebook app on my phone(8530 curve) worked fine. I would always recieve notifcations when friends woul message me, comment on status', pictrues, etc. but yesterday for some reason, my facebook started to get buggy. It would tell me that it wasn't able to fufill my request and would display an error code at the end of that message. After 100 times of trying to log in, eventually it would let me, but then it would sign me out right away.
I was told to take out my battery & put it back in, and that worked. However, today I am not recieving notifcations. Half way through the day, I got a message that appeared on facebook when I logged in & it said something about my push notifications not being on and I would recieve a message telling me when they were working? I have no idea what that means and I have no idea how to turn push notifications on?
I checked my settings on my computer for facebook, and everything is fine. I receive facebook notifcation e-mail on my hotmail(no spam) but the notifications just won't appear on my phone.
How can I fix this? I have tried reinstalling facebook already.

Hello stephyamanda,
There are 2 articles from our BlackBerry Technical Solution Center which might help you with the Facebook Notifications:
KB17087 - Push and email notifications are received for the same item, or no notification is received when using Facebook® for BlackBerry® smartphones
KB14358 - Notifications are not received from Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones
Have a look at these two articles and let me know how you make out.
Thanks!

Unable to retrieve full contact screen by clicking track pad/ Facebook app update coincidence?

Recently I discovered that when I navigate to a particular contact (it just happens to be the people I talk, email, text with most often) their information doesn't open up when I click on the trackpad. This only seems to be happening with specific contacts and not the majority of people in my address book. At this point I can only get my frequent contact's specific information (phone numbers, email addresses etc) by clicking the trackpad to find their contact name, clicking again on the menu key (I cannot click view either) and then selecting email, call, sms, mms etc and only then can I do the specific task. This is a new problem so I'm wondering if I've turned off some feature on my frequent contacts when I updated my FAcebook app on my phone. Help!!

Doubtful.
I assume you're speaking of viewing those contacts from navigating to the Address Book?
Try 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. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Often such a reboot will fix most glitches like this.
