Nice update, runs smooth
genericscissors2 Apr 11, 2012 at 11:46 am
hopefully now that this update connects fb with bbm, they should let you search your fb friends for other BBMers. so many third party messengers have this ability, its time for bb to get on it.
BarracudaBob Apr 11, 2012 at 9:24 am
I'm seeing 3.0.0.14 instead of 3.0.0.15.
sk8er_tor Apr 11, 2012 at 10:32 am
Download 3.0.0.15 by going to www.blackberry.com/facebook from your BlackBerry's browser. Make sure you select to download through the web browser and not App World and you'll get the new version.
mssca Apr 11, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Go to My World in your App World and press the BB to open the menu. Now choose Refresh.
Mattma43 Apr 11, 2012 at 9:47 am
Go into my world. hold alt, then RST. app world will close. Relaunch App wold, then my world. After the list refresh, upgrades should show.
amkamaruddin Apr 11, 2012 at 11:25 am
im using bb9860.. no physical button.. on virtual keyboard have no alt... how? help me pls..
Joy1980 Apr 11, 2012 at 12:11 pm
go into my world and press the menu button and select refresh list.
bbdiehard Apr 11, 2012 at 12:15 pm
had the same problem with my torch 9850, i hit the blackberry button and refreshed the app list, the upgrade button showed up for me
justinplett Apr 11, 2012 at 9:54 am
it showed the upgrade. Now it is gone.
Rootbrian Apr 11, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Alt-RST. Then re-open appworld.
paulad Apr 12, 2012 at 9:33 am
How do you get the icon back on the screen? The shortcut so you don't have to go into My App World and sign in? Before I downloaded this version to get into FB, all I had to do is open the "F" icon on my screen. How do I get that back?
QuIcKsIlV3r Apr 11, 2012 at 9:58 am
ya i'm using the Beta right now, and its showing up as 3.0.0.14 in Appworld but won't let me download it even though it says Upgrade available.
elusivest Apr 11, 2012 at 10:42 am
same here
mckillio Apr 11, 2012 at 1:46 pm
I'm using the beta too and I went to open facebook and it said I had an update available. I don' think I had ever seen that before, pretty slick.
jkuyp Apr 11, 2012 at 9:59 am
I had the beta going for a couple days, and i had to get rid of it because it was sucking up my battery life. Hope that is not the case with the upgrade.
azeeznurudeen Apr 11, 2012 at 10:09 am
I love you all
gtpointer Apr 11, 2012 at 10:17 am

mohawk apple Apr 11, 2012 at 10:28 am
I updated and now I keep getting a comunication failyer or something like that? :(
R.I.P. Montréal Expos 1969-2004 Apr 11, 2012 at 10:30 am
Anything on COMPLETELY turning OFF home screen notifications yet?
teamryan15 Apr 11, 2012 at 10:31 am
the whole ui looks different to me. running nice and smooth as well too.
simu31 Apr 11, 2012 at 10:31 am
I was having major problems with the beta 3.0.0.14, trying to get my location to be added to my FB profile, and it STILL doesn't work in the new version !!! :@
Oh and for those who had the 3.0.0.14 from the beta zone and can't seem to update to 3.0.0.15 from App World, it is available within the BetaZone
Si.
elusivest Apr 11, 2012 at 11:24 am
thanks, I was able to upgrade through Beta Zone, App World didn't work
decypher44 Apr 11, 2012 at 10:47 am
Was able to update my beta version to official version through AW without issue.
BBM-Connected apps have ZERO appeal or use to me. Can someone tell me the draw to these?
BillW69 Apr 11, 2012 at 10:51 am
Cue.
brkiko201 Apr 11, 2012 at 10:54 am
Looks kool
BarracudaBob Apr 11, 2012 at 10:56 am
Finally seeing the upgrade with the new version number. I don' t see the draw to having things connected to BBM either. I can't remember the last time I changed my BBM status.
bophil Apr 11, 2012 at 11:06 am
Does it come with Instagram ?! ;-p
dimm0k Apr 11, 2012 at 11:15 am
Does this version let you block certain posts like those f'in annoying game crap people post??
Rootbrian Apr 11, 2012 at 5:10 pm
But you'll have to block those games from their page. Then the notifications won't show up. That works for me. Tired of those spams on my timelines.
LeisThatGirl Apr 11, 2012 at 11:24 am
Downloaded and get to log in screen and it tells me cannot connect to server! Tried 3 times.. Anyone else having this issue? It did it to me when I downloaded it from beta as well, never had a problem before? Thank you :)
Rootbrian Apr 11, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Could be broken API. Try toggling data services off, then on and try again. Had this happen a few times. Maybe also check that your password and username/login e-mail address was entered correctly. It doesn't always carry over.
johnnagrrl Apr 11, 2012 at 10:10 pm
I'm having the same "cannot connect to facebook" issue as well. I've deleted and re-installed 3 times already. Very frustrating. I wish I never upgraded.
flutterby1116 Apr 12, 2012 at 10:02 am
I am also having this problem...I've tried multiple times yesterday and today...still getting "cannot connect to Facebook server"! This sucks!
TAHENNEN Apr 13, 2012 at 9:06 am
I am having the same problem. I have reset my phone, installed it numerous times and it still isn't working. now I have no facebook on my phone... wish I could find the previous version and go back to that one!
amkamaruddin Apr 11, 2012 at 11:29 am
got no update yet.. wtf??
Rootbrian Apr 11, 2012 at 5:13 pm
Launch appworld first, or go to blackberry.com/facebook.
jkahn Apr 11, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Upgraded/installed fine, but, it doesn't load anything. Feeds just keeps saying "loading" and it won't even let me logout. Nothing works - can't find/load friends, can't load my profile. Just keeps 'refreshing' but does nothing.
Anyone?
Rootbrian Apr 11, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Tried a battery pull and toggling of mobile network off/on or used wifi?
antikorr Apr 11, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Cannot update at all. AppWorld shows that the new version of Facebook is there, but when I click it it opens the page with the version I already have. No 'Install' button whatsoever. Just the one to 'Delete' application.
Annoying...
jvictor77 Apr 11, 2012 at 12:41 pm
Same here - tried refreshing list, then rebooting phone - and still no upgrade button, just the delete one.
Rootbrian Apr 11, 2012 at 5:15 pm
http://www.blackberry.com/facebook.
Download from there. ^^
Avery8900 Apr 11, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Upgraded flawlessly. This version has the ability to tag people. Is that new or did i miss that in the last version?
LeisThatGirl Apr 11, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Need help logging in. Can't sign in- being told cannot reach server at this time??
jkahn Apr 11, 2012 at 1:06 pm
I was having same problem and not being able to utilize any features. I deleted app. Rebooted. Downloaded/reinstalled app again. Now it works.
lang007 Apr 11, 2012 at 1:44 pm
I just downloaded the app and it looks great so far.
juwaack68 Apr 11, 2012 at 1:50 pm
I keep getting a message that it's not supported for my device. Fail.
Kandoo-BB Apr 11, 2012 at 2:09 pm
sent from my olskool os5
went from beta .14 to official .15 with zero problems.
its very snappy but so was the .14
now just waiting on twitter to go from beta to official :)
t4bb has grown quite well.so much in fact i dont even use ubersocial anymore :)
drkknyt98 Apr 11, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Just downloaded. If your running the Blackberry beta version you will need to uninstall that beta version and then v15 will install from app world.
Connor83 Apr 11, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Still wish it had the calendar.
slott Apr 11, 2012 at 2:55 pm
I am having the same serves not connecting issues. Blackberry support has no answer at this point.
SDM7171 Apr 11, 2012 at 2:57 pm
2.9mb??? V2 was 2.6... Can't see anything to justify the download given the lack of space on the 9700

Chuck O. Apr 11, 2012 at 4:19 pm
I have installed, deleted and reinstalled this 3 times and I still get "We are unable to reach the facebook server at this time" What gives?
LeisThatGirl Apr 12, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Anyone been able to get pass the "cannot reach server" error?
dfb8085 Apr 11, 2012 at 6:40 pm
get uncaught exception java.lang.error on reboot and now no Facebook icon. Have deleted and downloaded and reinstalled twice. anybody els
USCTrojan4JC Apr 13, 2012 at 4:21 am
The same thing happened on my Bold 9780 on OS 7.0.0.723. I deleted Facebook and re-installed 2.0.0.58.
USCTrojan4JC Apr 13, 2012 at 4:25 am
I uninstalled some apps I don't use to free up some memory, uninstalled Facebook 2.0.0.58, rebooted, and installed Facebook 3.0.0.15. Everything seems to work fine now.
Robert22 Apr 13, 2012 at 7:51 am
The same on my 9900... RIM is really incorrigible...
Faazzy Apr 11, 2012 at 6:59 pm
I dont find this facebook app very useful, using facebook on iphone and android is whole lot of fun .. bb facebook app is just plain and simple lacks too many features...
I dont understand, they r just bumping the version to 3 just for bbm integration.. at least give us some new features in it... at least let it have some great features... the developer of this app is not aware of some great feature on mobile facebook app or he is just not qualified for making this app
facebook app will always look neat on iphone and android what so ever

well i went to blackberry.com/facebook and did a fresh download and it still gives me that java error I stated above. No Facebook icon or nothing. Anyway I am using a 9800 so I guess I don't have Facebook anymore. Oh Well anybody got any advise on how to deal with this java error?
dfb8085 Apr 11, 2012 at 8:29 pm
under application management it shows as installed but under my world in app world it shows uninstalled. Must be a java problem. waiting on my wife to download it to her 9800 and see if she has troubles. anybody on here has success with loading on a 9800
PlayaX01 Apr 11, 2012 at 9:08 pm
no fb events?! wtf
shlee Apr 11, 2012 at 10:10 pm
I've had noproblem with the update. But earlier today, my contacts disappeared with Facebook sync. And even now when people call there is no profile pic. ?! What's up
paulad Apr 12, 2012 at 9:06 am
I downloaded the new version, now I can't find the icon for FB. I can't login under MY APP WORLD, either! HELP this sucks!
teamfoster03 Apr 12, 2012 at 11:05 am
I had the beta .14 and it prompted me to update to .15. no problem doing the update on my 9800 torch. FB seems to work fine but it is sucking my battery at a crazy rate. according to meter berry I was using 4%/hr before the update and after installing facebook .15 its jumped to 11% that s a 7% increase in battery usage just from installing Facebook update. I did 3 battery pulls and a few resets since installing and its not getting any better. This was tested in my office over the past 3 weeks of usage (3.5% to 5% depending on phone usage) now with facebook .15 im over 10% all the time and toping out at 15% with no phone usage at all.
GAGIRL55 Apr 12, 2012 at 2:41 pm
I to did the Facebook update. I have done everything from battery pulling, rebooting, uninstalling and installing, even from my BB Browser but still I can't log in telling "we are unable to reach the Facebook server at this time." Still getting that since last night. Please help. Thanks!!
Dee-Genesis Apr 12, 2012 at 8:56 pm
I can't believe RIM. They focus everything about bbm as if the world revolves around it. The major change in this fb app is the bbm connected! Smdh... So sad! Still lacking all the functions and features of the fb app that other phones have. I don't care to make my bbm status come over as my fb status so how about focus on making an app that customers would find worthwhile using. Things like B'day events, ability to delete post, groups, notes etc all from the app, just a few of the basic stuff missing from this app. Overall still very unsatisfied with BB and their ability in developing useful apps.

Robert22 Apr 13, 2012 at 7:49 am
The new version is full of bugs and the only new function is the connection to BBM, which is in my opinion for nothing. RIM is far away from the great Facebook apps on iPhone or Android...
confucius Apr 16, 2012 at 12:59 am
Did you guys notice the quality of photos uploaded through Facebook for Blackberry is getting worse and worse? Facebook for iPhone preserves the quality of the uploaded pictures.
:(
