At least my friends wont get a "phone number" notification when I try to link them manually. That will make this app a lot better. Now all of my contacts will have pictures! Yay!

I wish they'd add an option to stop sent/outbound Facebook stuff from showing in the Messages app.

This behavior doesn't make sense when I have emails and stuff set to only show inbound items.

uncheck Blackberry Message application in the FB app options

Took so long to release crap, they should fix my calendar!

 
 
Posted by lcunn Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Glad I didn't download yet I absolutely did not want to spam all my contacts for phone numbers.

 
 
Posted by don_c11 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

waited all this time for 1.5 and they give us this garbage.. They gotta do a better job when releasing this stuff

 
 
Posted by NJP11 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Can it go back in time and keep me from looking like an idiot by spamming people for phone numbers I already have?

 
 
Posted by holdene1 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

other than just downloading the update?? Lucky for me it did not mess with my calender..I dont think? what was it doign exactly?

 
 
Posted by phoneboy101 Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1125 days ago

It fracked-up my calendar so bad, I won't even download the "fixed" on until it's proven. It moved all of my appointments into the Facebook calendar (useless), removing them from the calendar which syncs with Google, which meant all of my online Google events were wiped which made my Outlook calendar events disappear when it synced with Google.

I haven't found a non-manual way to restore that data. Is there a way to re-designate which calendar an entry belongs to within BBerry?

How about a new app that works and looks better? This update was nothing special I don't know why people were asking for this when reviews were coming in. The ipod touch app is so much better to use.

 
 
Posted by RobinB Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I found the last version to be a little buggy and more or less useless - this one doesn't sound much better. Interestingly enough, I started having a problem with my Pearl rebooting randomly. I read on the forums here that removing the Facebook app might fix it, and lo and behold, it did. Not sure I want to put it back on my phone just yet.

 
 
Posted by rfdesort Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

How will we know when the update is available? Application Center?

 
 
Posted by tblspn13 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

If we downloaded it and then deleted it will this fix be considered a new installation?

At 7:34pm Eastern, BlackBerry App World is showing version 1.5.0.31 available for download. Can anyone who got it earlier this week confirm their version number?

 
 
Posted by Cheers Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Downloaded 1.5.0.31 yesterday.

 
 
Posted by bassangler68 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

1.5.0.31 is not the update. That's my version from the other day.

 
 
Posted by Stoneryno Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

What about the it doesn't sync bug. Initial install it sync bdays but no other calendar stuff. But to fix the disaster it made of my calendar I had to clear all calendars and restore from my default calendar from google calendar. So now it only syncs existing events, and doesn't get bdays or new events.

It doesn't sync any contact info other than name and company despite I can see phone numbers, addresses, email etc contact info in my friends profiles. What I'd like to know is did they even test the app during coding and design? Seriously bad when you release something that the new features don't even work right. I could understand minor bugs but a bug so big that the entire feature doesn't work?

 
 
Posted by price545 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I have deleted this app it is has still messed up my calendar. It has duplicated some appointments and deleted others. My Berry will no longer sync with my Ouulook. I need my appointment backs. I don't care about an update but deleting the application hasn't worked either. I may have to do a wipe of my Berry and start completly over. I will never use Facebook again because of this. I'm deleting my profile.

 
 
Posted by yellowxboy Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

sweet, thanks for the update :D

 
 
Posted by divincenzo Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

just go to your facebook app and go to options. at the bottom it says check for update. click that and problem solved!

Does .32 fix the calendar and phonebook issues?

just reinstalled the updated version and no problems so far.

 
 
Posted by New Fire Within Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I am deleting a bunch of stuff in my calendar right now. I just selected only the Facebook calendar, went to agenda view, scrolled as far as I could and selected "Delete Prior."

I already sent out an apology message this morning to all the people I spammed for their phone #.

Updating soon. I hope it's better. >:/

 
 
Posted by Danielem Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

It still sends phone number request when you manually link contacts.

Just wondering you you all like so much about the app. I dont like it at all personally(remember just my opinion). I just prefer the mobile website. It kicks arrs.

Just throwing my $0.02 in for everyone

Posted by c_is_for_crackberry Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

the point of the app is so you can be signed in for as long as you want without using the browser,

 
 
Posted by Michael Scrip Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

The point is that you will get notified when someone sends you something on Facebook.

With the old app, my Blackberry would ding to tell me someone had sent me a message. And you could go read the message in the app.

The new version actually puts that message in your BB inbox... which is much easier. And you can reply right from there without going to the app.

I never "use" the Facebook app... I just like the notifications it gives me on my Blackberry. I have Facebook Mobile bookmarked on Opera Mini if I need to use Facebook.

My sister had the same problem with her curve! I didnt have a clue how to fix. Uninstall maybe?

 
 
Posted by scottiesmith03 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Checked for update and it claimed I had the latest version... .31

 
 
Posted by Yesterdays Shoveler Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Updated to .32 and it still sends the phone number request.

This pattern of releasing buggy software, then releasing another minor incremental update that doesn't fix the issues is starting to get old.

Is anyone testing this junk before they shove it out the door?!

 
 
Posted by webpmp Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I uninstalling the leaked version now and won't be installing the official updated until I the fix these issues.

 
 
Posted by nasmith7 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Is there any word on when Facebook chat will be a part od the app? Is it part of it already and I'm just missing it?

still no update for me. says current version of .31 is most recent. hmmmm?

 
 
Posted by Fix for disappearing icon Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Get your butt over to the BB App World and redownload FB right now. They have not updated to .32 there at this point and the .31 version will let the icon reappear.

 
 
Posted by Tifoso Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

The "Check for Updates" in the app options never worked. Gotta download from m.facebook.com and you'll get the 1.5.0.32 version. If this one fracks up my calendar too, I'm gonna be pissed.

 
 
Posted by NJP11 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Don't install the new version of Facebook if you use AIM because it breaks it

THANK YOU!!!! I was going CRAZY thinking I was the only one... now what?

 
 
Posted by lelwit Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

Does this update fix the basic functionality? The thing doesn't seem to link contacts with Facebook friends automatically, and when I tell it to do it manually it only imports their profile picture, Facebook name, and their company. No phone number or anything.

And there seems to be no way for it to add events that you RSVP to on a computer to your Calendar. For instance, I created and event on my computer and it hasn't shown up in my Pearl's calendar.

 
 
Posted by indigoblu Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I have version 1.5 31 version, but, I keep hearing here and on the facebook page that people are losing their facebook icon once they do their update!!! So I am not going to jump on this update wagon as I am not having any issues at this time. Maybe I will update when they update the update!!!

 
 
Posted by price545 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

The update is worse than than the release earlier this week. I've lost my icon and it still has issues with the calendar.

 
 
Posted by epphllps Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I didn't lose my icon. Might as well update b/c it's still there. Might not be in the same folder, but it should be there.

 
 
Posted by rclee820 Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I just checked by going to www.blackberry.com/facebook through my bb browser, and I can up date to V. 1.5.0.32, instead of yesterday's 1.5.0.31.

 
 
Posted by WoodhavenBoy Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

I wish they could give you an option so you can choose if you want to overwrite the caller ID picture for a contact.. It was cool it set pictures for a lot of my friends that didnt have one, but I wanted to keep certain friends with a particular picture.. oh well...

 
 
Posted by c_is_for_crackberry Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

there actually is this option, in the run setup wizard if your scroll down from the contact sync it has another box to overwrite existing pictures in address book

Word on the street is this has been happening to people. Download the new version of FB and your AIM wont connect! Started a group in the Storm Third Party Apps...

any ideas for fixes?

 
 
Posted by WoodhavenBoy Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

this is weird because i downloaded it the first thing it came out and AIM was fine until about 8pm tonight and I havent had connection... I am still on .31.. something tells me it may be a concidence with an isolated AIM problem with their servers.. idk just a guess

 
 
Posted by SuperGenius Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 1126 days ago

1.5.0.32 was downloaded and it eliminated the whole requesting number issue for me, it prompts me if I want to request a phone number and I simply say no.

 
 
Posted by baker2gs Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

I haven't downloaded the update. In fact I'd rather just go back to the old one. Why don't the just post the link to that instead.

 
 
Posted by dbrits Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

I don't use the calendar and contact sync functions; I use the app primarily for notifications in my Inbox, so I don't think the update will substantially benefit someone such as myself. That being said, they really should work on adding the ability to "like" and comment on wall posts. It's irritating that I can't do those things from the app, and I can't even do the latter on the mobile site.

 
 
Posted by nafiz011 Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

Facebook for iPhone is much much better. whats wrong with the RIM people? Ofcourse syncing is a better idea, but atleast I should see my profile page & ability to write/make comment there from the application itself, rather than going to mobile site.

 
 
Posted by patches152 Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

next update should have time travel so we can go back and prevent all the "stalker alerts", then let us go into the future to enable 5.5 0S that has nano-tech and will build wi-fi! w00t!

 
 
Posted by c_is_for_crackberry Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

is it a stalker alert when you send a mob war request or any of the other million stupid requests the flood your inbox?? this is just another feature on facebook that people can accept or ignore,

Posted by beforewespark Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

I had the connection problem also...running AIM version 2.1.44.

So I went to App World and downloaded the version from App World. The App World version of AIM is 2.1.44.0. And you know what...connection problem is gone.

Try it.

Posted by pissedoff Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

It doesn't even work right with 4.5 or 4.6 or 4.7: missing icons, hosed calendars, spamming out phone number requests to Facebook contacts...What a clusterf**ck this software this is.

Go back to 1.2 and live with the limitations. 1.5 is a disaster!

 
 
Posted by flipn0tic Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1126 days ago

so the only really noticeable change i see on this new one is the little slide effect that has been on the myspace app for how long.

nevermind all the other features that the real facebook website has. who needs 'like', or status comments, or simply navigating through a profile? look it slides!!! OOOOH!

waited this long and this POS app is STILL as primitive as the last version, and pretty much just acts as a portal to the mobile site.

 
 
Posted by kf6tac Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1125 days ago

Installed the .32 version, everything works fine - icon still there, AIM still functional, and it prompts me to find out whether or not I want to send a phone number request when manually linking contacts. Sorry to hear other people are having problems, but like most things, there's probably a very large silent majority having no issues whatsoever.

And for those who keep complaining that the Facebook app is still primitive, guess what? So are some of the BlackBerries that it has to be compatible with. I'm sure if it didn't have to run on Pearls and Pearl Flips, even RIM could come up with something that is a significant step up.

And let's not forget that "Like" and status comments are very recent modifications to Facebook itself.

 
 
Posted by xdan504x Friday, Apr 24, 2009 1125 days ago

Well said. I'm part of the silent "majority". Mine has worked fine.

uh there is an option to not add pictures! go to OPTIONS and uncheck the picture box and calender box. and I have 1.5.0.31. it also asks you if you want to connect with friends from your contacts, so I'm not sure about the spam your talking about??

I absolutely hate this app right now. I can't get my calendar correct no matter what I do at this point. I have downloaded the latest version of .32 and only my Facebook calendar shows up. I then deleted the FB Service Book for the Calendar and that seemed to work, but the FB calendar comes back every time I reboot the BB or do a battery pull. I also seem to be missing appointments that are clearly in my Outlook. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or where I can get the old v1.2 It might have been basic but at least it worked. Right now I need a working calendar more than FB. HELP PLEASE

 
 
Posted by Noah Fingway Tuesday, Apr 28, 2009 1121 days ago

the fix doesn't fix it. If you go and delete the Facebook CICAL, it returns as soon as you reboot the device.

And when you try to sync up after deleting the FB CICAL, the sync process skips over the calendar all together . . . so my device doesn't/won't sync up with Outlook . . .

Any working suggestions?
