Facebook for BlackBerry officially updated to version 1.9.0.27

Facebook BlackBerry

Update: Looks like some users are seeing verison 1.9.0.28 while some aren't seeing any update at all. If you don't have it yet, keep checking back. We're told it should be available for all in the next few hours. 

Facebook for BlackBerry has finally received another official update. The latest version fixes some of the issues that have been causing problems for a few weeks now. The newest version is 1.9.0.27 and seems like a pretty solid update. New features/updates include:

Email Notification Improvements
Previously, if you turned on email notifications using the Facebook.com website, then logged out and logged back into Facebook on your BlackBerry smartphone, your email notification settings would be turned off. Now, with Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones 1.9.0.27, email notifications are left enabled if you change email notification settings using Facebook.com, then log out and log back in to Facebook on your BlackBerry smartphone.

Background Polling
Previously, if you set the background polling option to Never, then logged out and logged back into Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones, the polling setting would be set to 10 minutes instead of Never. This issue has been corrected so the background polling option will remain at the Never setting.

Photo Upload Freeze Fix
In the past, users may have seen their BlackBerry smartphone freeze when sending a photo to Facebook from the Media folder on their BlackBerry smartphone. This issue has been corrected by this maintenance release so no further freezing should occur.

The new version should be available in BlackBerry App World but it looks like it's not yet showing for all users. Head over to the link below and see if it is showing for you. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know!

Does anyone know if this fixes the Messaging system?

With the other update it was loading in all my old messages to my blackberry and when I deleted them from my phone they were deleted from facebook too. There was no way to clear my messages just on my phone. If this update still doesn't fix it I'm not upgrading as I downgraded to 1.8.0.49 so I could still delete the messages just from my phone.

mskisha79 Mar 2, 2011 at 12:18 pm

Im wondering the same thing because Im having the same issue of my messages being deleted on both fb and my phone...

  • Reply

Willeonabe Mar 2, 2011 at 1:33 pm

I think that was actually done on purpose, being that 1.9 is more integrated with FB. I know that if I send a message from the website, it is reflected in the BB app. I actually like it like this.

  • Reply

Prafeston Mar 2, 2011 at 2:34 pm

I don't mind the integration, but I'd like to have the option to delete off my handheld and not FB just like it does with all other email on my phone.

I won't be updating FB until they fix this behaviour. Just because I clear a message from my BB inbox does NOT mean I want to clear it from the FB website.

Not showing the update here as well. I checked AppWorld...and went to the FB app and checked for an update/latest version..said nothing was available.

I'd imagine it will push out soon since RIM announced it on one of their websites.

Glad to hear they fixed that picture issue. That was a pain to deal with.

Not seeing it. But I can't believe how many fixes and things are listed. I have 1.9.0.23 right now. .27 (.28 according to one comment) isn't that big of a jump

The facebook app for bb is horrible. It is forever saying, "Page is temporarily unavailable". The mobile page is so much faster, and it takes up 0 memory.

Someone please let us 1.8 folk know if they fixed the messages behaviour yet! I want to be able to delete messages from my BB inbox without them being deleted from the server. (I'm talking about the actual BB inbox, not the messages from within the FB app itself). Thanks!

Why not just uncheck the "blackberry message application" box?

  • Reply

xtremesniper Mar 2, 2011 at 12:17 pm

I like being able to see the notifications and messages in my BB inbox. It acts like a shortcut to the event itself, otherwise I have to open the FB app, go to the notifications section, and then click the event... And with my Bold 9000, that can get a little laggy after a while.

  • Reply

KristyKay5 Mar 2, 2011 at 2:04 pm

Nope...you can't delete them from your BB inbox without deleting them from your FB account in this newest version. :(

I guess I have to once again go uncheck the box to connect to my BB inbox.

This new version did not resolve my two biggest complaints with this damn app!! Does anyone know where we can report bugs??

  • Reply

That's very frustrating, but thank you for the reply. Looks like I'll stick with 1.8 until the newer versions have must-have features.

Just saw a few replies in the comment thread on the BlackBerry Help Blog post stating that the update should be available in a few hours.

Kind of makes you wonder why they would post the article, state that the update is available, then tell people to check in a few hours that it should be available then... Hmmm...

I went to the AppWorld link and no upgrade download for me yet (TMO, Arizona) but my question is, *is there even an upgrade from 1.9.0.26? Or is this an identical version just released inside the OS's?*

Connected device via USB and downloaded from the web browser APP World. Note you need the ie app world add on to download to device.

If it's not showing up for you, just do a battery pull.

That forces App World to clear it's cache and pull the new versions. Works everytime for me.

Take this update... went into App World, no update showing. Pulled the battery out of my BB and as SOON as it came back up, there was the App World "Update" notification Icon right by my new mail notificaion Icon.

I have an easier fix that worked for me. Go to the facebook app on your blackberry and under options click check for update. for me, it said i had an update but just took me to appworld and it was still 1.9.0.20. but if you scroll down on the first page that it brings you to, theres a link you can click that says "for those who dont have access to appworld click here". for me, when i clicked on that it brought me to a download page that had 1.9.0.28. not sure if it will work for everyone else but worth a try if appworld isnt working.

This could confirm the route of some, and I'm not updating my post to reflect if others have used it to success, so if it confirms, then great. I'm posting it anyway.

The ALT+RST, battery pulls, resets, etc., wasn't working for me on my VZW Bold 9650.

So, I went to the Facebook app and selected check for update. The browser loaded and said I can get it through App World. BUT, instead of going to App World to do it, I scrolled down the browser page for the link where it took me to the mobile download site (as if I pretended I didn't have App World.) From there, I was able to get the .28 version.

open facebook app, go to menu > options > and then 'check for update'

I still see 0.20 in AppWorld. I clicked "Check for Updates" in the Facebook app's options menu and was taken to the download page for 0.28.

Just upgraded to .28 today on Vodafone India, need to test it a bit more to see if anything has changed. I really hope the next update will allow you to tag people in your status with the "@" button like it is on the computer :(

Remember to hit ALT + R S T to refresh App World, then it will close and restart. Then hit the download link in your browser and it will reopen app world.

My Style 9670 on Sprint just gave me a message notification that an update was available for Facebook... I clicked it and it opened the App World... I'm scared to download this as I've had issues with other "updates" in the past... Hopefully some positive reviews will be posted, then I might consider it haha

I tried to download from app world directly on my phone and it froze up. Pulled the battery a few times, still not working. Numerous applications won't start, error messages, etc. Now I am unable to connect the BB to my desktop software.

One error message I keep seeing is uncaught exception: application net_rim_bb_qm_peer (218) is not responding. I can't get into BBM, browser, messages, text, BBtravel, etc...

Storm 2 - 90mb of free memory and nothing really esoteric as far as applications except tether. Any ideas???

If it doesn't show yet just go bellow to the page facebook upgrade send you and it says "for people dont have access to AppWorld click here" then it will automaticaly download the upgrade on your phone.

+1 for .28.

I'm using a Torch on Telus Mobility in Southern Ontario running .450 OS software if that helps!

Only available through App World, which is not available for devices with trackwheels, hence useless.
