Facebook 1.9.0.20 now available in BlackBerry App World

Great for my 9700/OS6

and I'm first. hehe

when is facebook chat going to be available on a blackberry for free.

yo adam, wrong version number in the title. it's 1.9.0 not 1.0.9

:)

Appworld is still showing me 1.8 I wonder if its because I have the 1.9 BETA loaded?

I have the 1.9 beta. Its not showing the new version in india on app world vodafone even after ALT+RSTR

Even after restoring, this version still doesn't show. Boo.

I had facebook BETA loaded and I got the update notification anyway...

if you look at the screenshots, it seems facebook places is included YAY. rebooting...I'll report back when I'll have tried it...

I just DLD and installed from the App World Website, I had the beta, wonder what changes they made from 1.9.0.12?

I tested the beta of v1.9 and had to revert to 1.8 because of some 'features' that drove me nuts. For example, in 1.9, if you receive a FB notification in your Messages app and delete it just to clear the notification, it will also delete from the actual facebook website. This is really annoying when you want to receive the notifications in the Messages app but be able to clear them out without actually deleting them on the website.

Tried every method to get it, not showing up for me yet. I'm on Rogers, Torch on 246.

Thanks!

no luck for me with the beta via all 3 methods tried, web, app and update in app.

I have a Curve 8520 and app world is displaying 1.8.0.49. Is the update for certain models or for everyone?

some bugs from the beta version were corrected and there is indeed support for Facebook places which is really cool !!! been waiting for this !

Would like to see this.

This is not showing up in my Blackberry App World on my bold 9700. Still shows the old version here in Canada on Bell.

anxiously waiting for the release -_- haha im here in california!

OTA someone...

Anyway I tried fb on OS6 9700 and twas great using touch look lol and when using web view we can now chat!

Not on the Website or BB App...so why post this?

Guys.. it wasnt showing up for me either (T mobile, US).. but i went into appworld then I hit ALT then R S T and then it showed up.. try it

Not sure why, but App World seems to have some sort of rollout delay; I had problemd with WeatherEye on my device (9700/OS6) and they updated to a new version yesterday...that my friend saw on App World, yet I didn't, until later in the day, for some reason.

And we're both on the same provider (Rogers), same phone model and OS.

So, if it doesn't show up for you right away, give it time. Incidentally I see the new Facebook version and am currently installing.

When everyone on this site was anxiously awaiting Facebook 2.0? I guess we are getting there :)

FB Places is included in this build....very nice!

Got to love fake post. or when they release something just to remove it immediately. next time don't post it unless you know its going to stay up or its legit?

I have problem scrolling down

I too had the same problem of it showing only the old version. I did the ALT + R S T R and it worked. now I have the newest version. thanks for the tip.

They've added FB Places and still haven't fixed the Messages scrolling. Its not as smooth as the other tabs unfortunately. But its still heading the right direction (y)

I did the alt + R,S,T trick and it showed up fine. I had the 1.9 beta and the first difference that popped out is they added "places" to this release. As one of the few it seems that doesn't care about having chat, I'm liking this version.

Showing for me now. AT&T 9800 user.

I wasnt seeing it even after 4 ALT+RST. I had to open up "My World" after the RST and then it was there.

Installed from the website through computer, from link provided above, to the blackberry app world (web), and it installed it just fine.

Not showing on my TMO Puerto Rico 9700.

Still no 1.9.0.20, guess I'll be waiting for a little while until it fully rolls out.

I'm not getting the upgrade! ARGHHH!

Not showing available update on my Verizon BB in App World or the FB app new update notifier.

In Italy app world is displaying 1.8.0.49.

will this be possible or must you use the Facebook app?

i have a 9330 with OS6 leak 6.0.0.333 with the beta fb 1.9.0.12! ive tried app world and ALT + RST and when i click on facebook i get this message "This application is not available on your device or for your carrier" btw im on VZW!

Not showing the update for me, I have 1.9Beta and even after the ALT + RST still nothing..

What a disappointment. I may go back to 1.9.0.12beta. The most glaring disappointment is the near-perfect scrolling experience of the beta has been replaced with the classic crappy stutter-scrolling of all the previous official releases. Major FAIL on RIM's part. I don't plan on using Places, so this scrolling issue is gonna be a deal breaker...

I used the ALT + RST to restart App World, still no luck, it's showing 1.8.0.0.49 in App World and I have 1.8.0.0.51 installed on my 9700 running OS 6. Any other recommendations? I've already soft reset as well in hope that would help.

How refresh on a storm or storm2 no alt button?

Clicked facebook in ap world and bam, upgrade available. How great. I wish the appearance would have been changed, but happy to see the message icons now turn gray in the message list once viewed.

Tried getting places to work but it couldn't find my location, looked in the options and there is a box that is not ticked saying - Facebook Places "share my location with facebook" but it's greyed out so I can't tick it. anyone else have this problem?

Storm 1, Verizon, no Beta installed, no update showing. How do you do ALT RST with a virtual keyboard?

I have a 9700 with OS6. After I updated to FB 1.9 I don't see my FB updates on the Social App anymore. Tried uninstalling it and went to the official FB website to download the app and it still shows 1.8 on the site. SIgh.. I guess I'll have to wait for FB to update their download site.

Follow this link for infomation on this build of FB for BB. They are stating that it will be rolling out over today.
It also states that it's rolling out "North America Only" for now.

Finally!!!

I had to delete the 1.9.0.12 beta, then Alt+RST for this version to appear in App World for me.

I believe it is not available for the combo of OS6 and Verizon. If I use the web on my computer, login to my blackberry account (appworld.blackberry.com, click on the browse for apps link, then at the top there will be a sign in link) and view the facebook entry, on the right side it says "this application is not available for your device" and lists my settings as Verizon and OS 6.0.0. My guess is that Blackberry has device and/or carrier specific version of the app, and since Verizon does not have an official OS6 device yet, it does not recognize that combination when looking for a version to download.

i don't hav the access to BB app world, from my country.. how can i update ? plz someone tell me another way:)

Worked just fine for me (x

9650 running .333 on sprint. Bb leaks said its coming in waves over the next couple days. The search option is nice but there's a facebook icon on my home screen that won't go away and facebool stuff won't delete from my inbox.

if your bb is not showing the upgrade in app world simply soft reset youre device. ALT+Right Cap+DEL and then you should see the upgrade in the app world after it boots. if not simply search for facebook and istall it then it will ask you if you want to replace the version with a new one.

After upgrading to the new version, Facebook no longer shows up in Social Feeds.

I also cannot click the option to get places to work...who else is having the same problem?

Upgraded and it WIPED OUT MY DOWNLOADS! I now have to reinstall all my apps from here and other places. WTF????

The fb notifications don't appear on the home screen as well argh

Before I download this, can someone confirm that the scrolling is no longer smooth scrolling (as in the beta zone release)? I do not want to install if the scroll is choppy when reading feeds.

Running 9700 OS6

Thanks

STILL NO CHAT

WTF
WAKE UP RIM

Showed right up on my Bold 9700 with OS 6. Installed and I like it. I am glad "Places" has been added, now I can be cool like the Facebook for iPhone people lol. A lot of people are not happy that chat has not been added, which is not a big deal for me because I rarely have a need to use it anyway. But, I have found that with the new browser on OS 6 if you go to the actual website (www.facebook.com/home.php) you can use the facebook chat. Note: you have to include the home.php or it will direct you to the mobile site which doesn't work.

I have OS6 on my 9700. After the reboot it is no longer in my Social Feeds app. When I go to setup to add it in my Social feeds I finish the steps but it never gets added!! Anyone having the same issue? Anyone have a fix?

facebook no longer shows up in social feeds after the update for me also.

Did the ALT+RST thing, but I had to go to "My World" and download it. In my case, for some crazy reason it still said 1.8.0.49, but when it asked if i was ok with replacing the old version for the new version, it said 1.9.0.20... ? see if it works for you...

This OTA link works:

http://mybbota.com/download.php?id=5448

Hope that helps!

mutambo normally doesnt post. but he is here to help today for fellow storm users to get this to work. i kept getting 1.8.49 until i did the RST on the storm. how in the muthfaqua do u does that? holla at cha boy cause i done did it like chyeaa!

Solution for STORM Users

To clear the application cache:

1. Open App World

2. Go to My World

3.Hold the num-lock ("!?123") button so it locks and then hit "34("

4. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot

AND BAM! you is on that realness 1.9.20!! CHYEA!

1) Go into Appworld on your phone
2) HOLD the "alt" key while pressing in succession: "R" "S" "T"
3) This should have kicked you out of Appworld to your menu screen
4) Go back into Appworld, then into "MyWorld" re-enter you BB id info
5) That should be it, your app cache should've cleared and once you scroll down to Facebook and select it, you should see the upgrade.

Enjoy.

The scrolling makes this app useless. Worst of all, they removed the 1.9.0.12 from beta zone, so now we can no longer download that.

I'm not having any luck with the places either. It won't let me click on it!!

Just got it here in Atl, GA. Did soft reset (alt+right caps+del) and then refresh in Blackberry App World (alt+RST) and it came right thru.

Yep, after removing the 1.9 beta, rebooting, installing the new ver then rebooting I still get nothing in the social threads so its got a fault.

So far so good! Thanks!

I was wondering how my friend got into places using the blackberry app this explains it

but I have the beta and i can't get into it

Not showing up in social feed app.....anyone got an OTA link to 9.0.12?

I just downloaded the new version of FB and it is sweet! When I click on the "places" icon, I get a message that says "Your location is temporarily not available." I went to my account settings and everything looks good there. Also, while in "places" on my phone, I clicked on options which brings me to a screen to run setup wizard. There is also a place to select "share my location" with Facebook. I am unable to put a check in that box. Is this because this version is so new that there are some things to be worked out? Or am I missing something altogether? Any ideas?

Thanks!
Debra

I just download it I hope is worth, I've heard some rumors that this version is not compatible with Social Feeds, anyone has this problem, my Torch is rebooting right now.

6.0 has two big features, web kit and the social feed app. How is it that the company that produced the social feed app fails to make sure the biggest social networking site out there works with it?

Now that I have this new version of FB my Wifi doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else notice this?

Like the new version ! Everything works fine.
At first the update didn't show up in appworld on my storm but was available on PC. Just upgradet from there, synced, reboot, done !
The checkmark for sharing location in options couldn't be marked. However, after you share your first location (places tab) you are asked to agree to disclaimer. After that the ckeckbox is marked automatically.

I upgraded to FB 1.9.0.20 as soon as it was BBM'd to me. I'm on a 9700 OS6 AT&T North America. As soon as the download, install, and reboot were completed...FB no longer showed up in Social Feeds.
I can't find any information as to why this occured. I rebooted, battery pulled and 'shut down' FB and Social Feeds and ran the Setup Wizard. Nothing worked. I have just now downgraded back to FB 1.8.0.49 and once everything was done, FB was in Social Feeds.
I have no idea why the updated version does not show up in Social Feeds. I've just started using FB again and haven't even tried Places, so downgrading was no big deal for me. I'm guessing we will have to wait for this glitch to be fixed before the 9700 OS6'ers can upgrade.

Yea, I can see the icon for places but when u click on it, it just scans for about 60 seconds then nothing happens. I checked in the options screen and I cannot activate the "share my places" with fb option (the box is gray). Anyone find a fix to this annoying issue?

I checked, and App World does have the upgrade, but since I don't particularily like using App World, I'll just wait for it to show up through the Facebook App itself. That way if there are any bugs, those can be worked out. I use the mobile site about 60% of the time anyway.

Thanks for the OTA link, running on OS 5 and no issues at all :) like the new release!

Not showing up on my app world

Hello I'm from Mexico I just finish installing the update and everything is working fine, I have places, integration to Social Feeds and the thing I love the most is that now I can see my FB messages.

Proud owner of a BB Torch

His post hit it right on the nose! It won't check your box in the options until you go and share your location for the first time and accept the disclaimer!

How do you "check in?" There is no option for me. Only thing I get when I click the Places tab is my friends locations.

Definitely scrolling sucks big time compared to the beta version! Is this a generalized bug?

not impressed- how can this not work with social feeds- rubbish.

works great! thanks for the alt rst tip!!

for those whose App World still doesn't show an update, get it OTA via (was taken from 8900 OS 5.0):

http://bit.ly/9OLH0m or http://bit.ly/cej8Fv

for local installations from PC/MMC:

http://bit.ly/dcNpmJ

So is the Social Feeds integration only working on a specific OS6 revision? Does it actually work for anyone?

Is the scrolling bad for everyone?

just got the social feeds back working- theres a tip om the forum.
basically you need to uninstall and reboot- then refresh app world with alt rst, then re-install the new version again.
works fine for me now and less lag- shouldn't have to do this, poor show bb.

hi all. I am running the OS6 leak, .344 on a 9700. i fixed the social feeds thing as well by deleting 1.9.0.20 completely, rebooting, going to APP world, doing alt R S T, and reinstalling. then it appeared in social feeds no problem. it also seemed to fix the choppy scrolling somewhat.

The scrolling makes this version almost UNUSABLE, what the hell?

works great for me no probs .

I tried uninstalling, battery pull and reinstall, ans scrolling is not good. I am going back to beta...

Fb notifications had been showing up in the drop down notification bar like emails with the old version. This one it stopped displaying there....weird. Would think that it would keep it with more os6 devices becoming available. (Running 6.0.0.280 on vzw bold)

Using rogers 9700 on leaked os6

Installed in app world..scrolling was horrible and it was missing in social feeds.

Uninstalled it. Reboot. Did alt rst and reinstalled it

Now scrolling is a lot smoother and its back in social feeds

Does anyone else have a "permanent" fb notification icon on their phone? I can't get it to go away, and it's starting to bug me.

When I installed the update on my Tour, I got notifications for messages from a year ago!!! (that had been checked and deleted a year ago) I checked FB on my computer and nope, they had been deleted, not there. I never leave messages in my inbox. All of them deleted from the phone but two, from April, that had also been deleted right after I got them, IN APRIL! I cleared the cache and restarted twice, still there even when I check my messages on the BB app they download as new. They still do not show up on my computer though...WTF???

Thanks! I was still using 1.8.xx

Doesn't come up in appworld for ke. I'm on Verizon Storm2 9550.

I received the "upgrade" notification on my Bold 9000 OS .822 yesterday! Ran it without any issues. No lag, no scrolling issues, no "missing notifications"...actually, I haven't experienced ANY of the issues listed in any of the above posts. Works perfect! Hmmm...wonder why??

I did the Alt R S T thing and the update was there in appworld. I installed this morning with no problem. Baffeled as to why some people are still having problems getting it. It's nice and the new places feature and video upload is there.

This update sucks....multiple restarts, uninstalled and reinstalled...still got the same damn message from way back in April that magically reappeared only on my phone....Still won't let me delete it...

I installed this over the Beta version 1.9 and all my apps were wiped including my theme. None of my personal info just the apps. This happened once before with an update to Google Maps

Places seems disabled - can't see an option to enable on BEXx - anyone?

any one having issues with the new version and a stuck email you cannot get rid of?? I am back on version 1.8.0.49...keep working on it guys

Hmmmm...Im running beta 1.9.0.12 and love it...I think Im a little scared of this version after reading the comments....I think Ill stick with my current version for now, as I dont use the places app anyway....

Why would anyone use "FB places"? Its a good way to get robbed! Why would you want everyone to know where you "aren't"? I know its cool to let people know where you are, but think about it people...

I had no problems installing and this version actually has places now.

Pissed that I had the beta version and this morning I received the update but when I went to update it said I don't meet system requirements. So I downloaded back to 1.8. Ugh

Downloaded facebook update 1.0.9.20 on my 9700, but it wouldn't start up, froze the screen, and had to reboot several times. Went back to previous version. This is for OS6, it says, but also says it's compatable with all. Tried to load ova and direct but to no avail.
That's ok, I've still got facebook.

how do you go back to the previous version?

Well...I WAS gonna hold off on this release, but since I was running beta 9.0.12, my phone wouldnt let me open the FB app without upgrading...so I HAD to upgrade.

Im not noticing any scrolling problems, or any other problems so far.

And although I like the keyboard shortcuts, Id rather have a "My profile" icon than the Places icon in the icon row at the top...Im gonna have to get used to hitting "W" to go to my wall...

Now if they would just add chat and a sent box for messages, Id be all set.

I can't find this anywhere. When I open Facebook and check for update it says an update is available but takes me to 1.8.0.49. When I use the link above to app-world from a computer it says that my device (9550) is not supported, yet it is listed as being supported. It even says when I get to the page "The item no longer has a free version of the item available or requires an upgrade."
I even used the bar-code on the webpage, but it still takes me to 1.8. Yet early today my wife was able to get it on her 9550. I'm at a loss here. I'll guess I have to wait 6 months before app-world shows a update! lol

FINALLY!!!

I'm from mexico, owner of a storm 2 and i installed FB and everything works fine notifications too, but it doesn't show in sound settings not even LED works (not red) Help please!

hating most of the new features...does anyone know how to downgrade to the previous version?

This update is not what I expected. I did participate in the beta and expressed concerns there - apparently to no avail. Old FB messages turned up in my message notification list. While that's not a dealbreaker, the fact that deleting them from the message stream deleted the messages from my FB inbox is - FAIL. Even after turning off FB notifications, several old messages still show and cannot be deleted from my message stream. Since I'm not a fan of letting the entire world know my location, adding Places didn't do anything for me. The interface is practically the same, and RIM is STILL not listening to what the users ask for - a more robust application. FB 1.9 is a FAIL for this user (Curve 8900 on OS 5.0.0.900).

How do I downgrade to the previous version!?

running Verizon BB Storm II os 5.0.0713

in the past i have deleted some of my fb msgs in my mail inbox instead of going to the app and deleting them there. Now when i installed the new app all those old fb msgs that i had deleted in the inbox showed back up in my inbox but not in the new app.

i tried all the basics... deleted all those msgs and did a battery pull and still have one that just wont delete. I uninstalled... battery pull.... reinstall... battery pull and they all appear again... and there is just one that just wont delete??? i dont understand....

I guess I just have to live with this crap now...I wish I could down grade!

anyone having issues, after downloading 1.9? most apps have slowed down along with the OS.

I like the new Facebook v 1.9. But it seems to be draining my battery very quickly. Anyone else seeing that?

i have emailed BB AppWorld customer service 2 times now and still no response. very disappointed! does anyone know how to get the older version back?

http://www.theiexplorers.com/bb/Facebook/FB49.jad

I'm happy now...maybe they will get the issues with 1.9 fixed soon...

I dont know what is happening with this app!! I can send photos from my blackberry to the facebook app alright? but they upload in the same carpet (Mobile Upload)
With the previous version, it used to upload a picture taken with my blackberry curve 9300 and it would upload it for example 1 minute ago, and the other pic if taken 10 minutes later, the facebook app would uploaded and it will show 10 minutes ago

But with this facebook 1.9 If I took a pic 1 hour ago, it will upload it 1 hour ago, but all the pictures taken after the first pic, even if I have taken them after 25 minutes, or 1 hour or more, the app will still upload it to facebook but all the pictures appear in the same carpet that says 1 hour ago, that suck

I like when I take a pic and then appear 5 minutes ago
and the next one I took and appear 10 minutes ago
and etc...
but that doesnt seem to work in this version 1.9 please could someone help me

Just to be clear:
In facebook Feeds:
If I write my status, every status will appear separetely (with each time detailed specifically 1 hour ago, 25 minutes ago, etc)
The same happens if I post you tube videos
what when its about photo any pic sit upload all the pics in the Carpet that says Mobile.
For example if I upload5 photos today
The first one will appear in feeds and my profile wall it will appear with the time specifically taken (for example 10 minutes)
but the other four pics I wont see them published on Feeds neither on my profile wall
they will appear agrupated, associated in the same group of Mobile uploads

With the previous version each pic upload used to appear on Feeds, with their time specify and also on wall, at least I will take the five pictures and I will see them published on my wall separately and when the day finished I will see them associated in one carpet which is Mobile Upload, I will see that on my wall

What it really bothers me of facebook 1.9 is that if I take 5 pics, I will have to go to my profile wall and refresh and refresh and I will never see publish all the pics in News feeds and for my Wall I will have to look for the Mobile Upload carpet of the day taken and refresh, its not as before that if I take a pic I will upload it and see it published in the feed as in the wall too, and that used to occur with each particular photo

Is anyone else not receiving updates any longer? Since I downloaded 1.9, I haven't received a single FB update. But I go onto the PC, and there's a bunch. Now I've tried deleting the app, changing the option back and forth about receiving updates, logging and out, etc. This is everything I basically tried when the 1.8 update came out and I had the same issue for about 2 months. I really don't want this to be a repeat. This is truly the last straw for me and Blackberry.

I was deleting my messages (SMS, MMS, Emails) and since Ive upgraded to the new facebook it will not delete my notifications from the message screen. I did a delete prior and just my facebook notifications stayed in my inbox. I uninstalled facebook and they were gone but as soon as I redownloaded the app the messages where put right back on my phone!

Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?

I used the 1.9 BETA version of the app and was sooo aggravated about the FB notifications, that I turned on Email notifications and that was great for cluttering my inbox. I'm glad I downgraded when 1.8 was still in APP WORLD, cause I love the notifications. Other than the notification issue...I thought it was a really good upgrade. I'm sticking to 1.8 for now.

Here ya go...

point your bb browser here http://bit.ly/facebook49

(Edited because the problem was solved.)

I upgraded on my phone recently (still using a Curve 8330 with a 5.0 OS) and seem to have very few problems.

However, I noticed that there was no more audible sounds when I get alerts. I missed having the alert sound to tell me that somebody replied to a post of mine in Facebook. I even went into the edit ringtones and alerts menu on my BB itself and nothing for Facebook is there anymore.

I had rebooted the device after installing it and nothing was there. I did a double-soft reboot (after reading of it in this thread), and the audible alerts came back.

Very weird indeed.

no big issues so far that i notice. but i dont like that highlight is so light. i can barely tell which item i'm highlighting wish it was a lil darker. but other then that. i see no issues.
