Facebook Streams Not Refreshing for BlackBerry Users

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I thought I was having issues with my new S2.

here i was thinking that it was only me i had to spread the word through my bbm asking other people if they were having an issue and was watching CB site to seee if anything would be posted about it now that you have i know it's not just my 9630

The Facebook website (on a desktop) isn't doing all that much better. Since the new interface has rolled out, I've noticed that the news feed is almost completely useless. I've had posts show up occasionally only to disappear from my news feed (I'd have to go to that user's profile to see/comment on the post).

The same in France !! it seems to be worldwide though

I though I was the only one too...It happened sometime yesterday for me. I thought it might have something to do with the new facebook layout but who knows.....I need my facebook on BB....

doesn't help that the facebook app is pretty useless to begin with. I do agree w/ the web feed being janky tho.

I just chalked it up to the crappy app. I really don't like the BlackBerry app. And I am running the 1.7.0.22 on OS 5.
The App Store app works way better on my iPod Touch.

I can't even get facebook to work on the mobile site.

I had this problem earlier. I refreshed my friends list and then my news feed updated. Go figure!

Maybe its because the entire North East of the US is home on Facebook because of the blizzard.

I was just logging on to CB to see if there was anything about FB in the forums when I found this. I've been having trouble all day with my Tour on Sprint. Was able to click menu while on FB and go to mobile site. no real worries though since I'm at home snowed in here in MD..

According to the Facebook API they are changing the API to deliver all content via there newer (currently beta) stream and phasing out the old feed delivery system. You can verify this on the API wiki section for developers on facebook.

This is more than likely what is causing it to no longer deliver content to the BlackBerry and messing up the content delivery on the desktop version.

BlackBerry needs to update the Facebook app to the new Stream API.

(I THINK THATS WHAT HAS BROKEN ANYWAY)

has always been terrible....

Also the case for me.

yeah im glad im not the only one as well. i didn't know what the hell was going on. thanks for the heads up.

I thought it was my berry....

same in Colombia.....I thought i was the only one having this problem!

I got the same problem too. Hope it's been worked on.

Facebook App just Sucks, period. Maybe thay should be thinking in doing what people really want: A cool app! even in the desktop it sucks big time!!! hey it sucks in any phone...

....same in germany
think ist the API

thought it was my BB, then reinstaled the APP. then checked out CrackBerry.com!!! thanks guys.....and please keep us updated!!!

whats a bummer i ely almost 100 percent on my BB for internet well i guess its back to my pc for now

I was enjoying my access to Facebook Mobile for not even 2 weeks when I started to get, "No stream post available". It didn't effect my colleague at work. I wonder how long does it take to fix something like this? Once there is a solution, will it be hard to do? Any long timer users can share some insight? Just registered to crackberry, too and already posting a comment. Looking forward to explore sight, any tips?

Yeps!! I having troubles since this evening (spanish evening i have to say)

This facebook guys, didn't stay calm and stop redoing chances and more chances for a while?

Also noticed that. Good thing I'm not the only one. Been using Opera Mini Beta 5 w/ speed dialed FB. Takes to long to send messages through BB FB. Always refreshing Friends list while typing messages ect....

I use Snaptu's Facebook app, much faster and cleaner

Same here in Scotland UK. Done the reinstall thing too. No joy. Back to my iPhone for me until it's fixed. Grrrrr.

Same here in jersey!!

seriously i thought it was just me, i did a wipe and thought i did something wrong...lol but ugh so frustrating!!

Still working like a champ.

When this happens, I just scroll down to "go to mobile site" and it works fine. Not as fast as the initial way, but no complaints

I just wish I'd come here first before deleting and re-installing Facebook on my storm! What a waste of time!

All the more reason FB needs to go back to the old format. This new one sucks

Here I was all day thinking I was the only one. I just hope it gets fixed soon.

Noticed this did a few battery pulls and even reinstalled it. Blah

The Facebook app is so terrible in general, that I already began phasing it out in favor of the mobile site above. You can even set up as a webpage in QuickLaunch for easy access.

No, the mobile website isn't super-fast either, but honestly, the standard PC Facebook also is way too slow for something this popular. Facebook, at its core, is basically a glorified message board and photo site. The technology and infrastructure to run those core functions probably existed 10 years ago, yet here we are in 2010, and it feels like you're on a 28k modem whenever you use FB.

STORM OWNERS:
X.FACEBOOK.COM

NON-STORM OWNERS:
M.FACEBOOK.COM

I though it was my new bold 9700(just got it two days ago) I just deleted it from my bold and was just looking on this site(cause I love crackberry.com so much)and it was the latest post, lol, what a slap in the face. No problem, they'll fix it(I'm not a big baby)

At least, we still get the notifications.

Since Facebook 1.7 there are many of glitches... i'd like to know if this is going to end by releasing a new version

Good looking out Kevin.

nvrmnd... false alarm..

I believe it is the new layout because it also seems to be affecting FB on socialscope, whereas Twitter seems to be updating properly.

I knew something was up when my coworker on her Verizon Storm and me on my Us Cellular Tour both had the same issue! Shame on you Facebook. Don't make us go back to MySpace lol

Glad to to know I'm not the only one since it stopped working after I restarted my phone. Facebook's mobile website is kinda buggy too it only shows certain people and then later in the day it shows other posts from like 3 hours ago that only show up now. I hope they fix it and update the BB App and hopefully add the chat feature to it.

I thought FB was being blocked by our company again... I was trying to figure out what other ways to update FB again.. I think I can link Twitter to FB and update that way if FB gets blocked again... Hope they fix this soon!

rebooted a few times it's just the fb app

Problems in Mexico too...Different models...

It's actually done this to me a few days ago. I thought my phone was just messing up. I feel slightly better.

And here I was thinking I was special!

Had to just go ahead and delete it until I get word its working again!

o man i was just wondering about this
i was refreshing like crazy and nothing
it was pissing me off
glad to know their workin on it though and that im not the only one :/

I love how companies try to cover ones a@@ buy saying "SOME users may be unable to access the site from their devices at this time." How about ALL users, and FIX IT. Oh and while your at it, make a better app for the BB. My wife's iPhone FaceBook app kicks a@@.

Because I got rid of the app. I use a combo of socialscope and SMS alerts now. Works great.

I've been having the problem since yesterday. Thought it was just be not getting phone service again. ATT! BAH! Where's the 9650 already! Need to switch!

yes this really sucks bigtime...thankfully i can still go to mobile site via web...and socialscope is okay as well...still wish i had my app working properly :-(

Atleast its not just me I started to get annoyed. Thought it was because I was using .419 again

I never though id be so lost without my blackberry facebook... maybe this will give them a little bit of a kick in th ebutt to make facebook GOOD on blackberrys.. maybe like it is on the iphone...

I'm not a fan of the Facebook App. It is WAY too slow and lags every time i use it. I've thought about just deleting it...

The Facebook app for BlackBerry is seriously and with no exaggeration the worst app I have ever used.

My Opera browser is pointing at touch.facebook.com and it's a helluva lot easier, and nicer, to use. Just an FYI.

I hope they roll an app that looks and feels like this one.

are you listening FB and RIM?? YOUR APP FOR BLACKBERRY SUCKS!! Why is it that the iPhone/iPod app works flawlessly, even with chat? GET YOUR $HIT TOGETHER!

Any ideas why I cant upload pics from my BB Storm anymore ???? They used to always work now they just get red "X"'s

RIM needs to realize that 99% of all complaints (exaggerating a bit) from BB haters and non-haters are tied to the FaceBook app. If they got it working as good as or better than the iPhone's one, they would boost their sales even more. They need to realize the importance of this app and get the thing working. However, this issue has nothing to do with the app. FB messed up, and it will get fixed when FB gets their API working again. But, please RIM... put 2 developers full time on this thing for a month and you will win so many new happy customers. We love you RIM, but please... If you don't trust me, look at the ratings in the App World. 2 stars = sucks big time. The iPhone app in the App Store has 4 start. 4 stars = WOW. Or... maybe we need to tell FaceBook to help us out and put 2 of their developers on the project and do their own app. That what they did for iPhones. FB... Please :)

Glad to hear that it was just not my phone. My friend called me and asked me if I was having problems. I really did not give it much thought after this morning when FB would not refresh. Then I checked crackberry and go figure. Should have stopped by here first. :)

Mine haven't been working all day either on my Bold 9700. You can still use the mobile site to access everything, just not as convienient as the app. Hope RIM fixes it soon!

Same in Indonesia

the least they could do is send their users that cant get updates an email to state why and an eta for a fix. i've been messin w/it since about 6pm last night. even uninstalled and reinstalled the !@#$#% application earlier today!! sheesh.

no refreeessshh!!

ooohhh.. ok.. i was wondering about that. lol

yeah I use it, only because its the only option. but the blackberry facebook app is horrible, I deleted the app and I'll just use the mobile app, its probably better. They need to update and fix the facebook app!

I have the Facebook issue, but alomg with that my web is not loading also. My web just has the blue loading screen, but never connects. Same issue? I havent changed any settings or downloaded anything so what the heck?

I like the app.

This is REALLY getting on my nerves!! I need my FB to Live!! lol!! Glad im not alone...... :)

can anyone explain to me what's so different that today your all having issues but none of you have had any issues for the last 6 months. FB has been nothing but junk since last summer. not that it's a big deal anyways. cuz none of you do a damn thing with the sight but play those stupid ass applications. FB is a waste of internet space.

So glad to know that this is affecting everyone who uses FB and no just me (pissed though, too). Get it together FB...no es bueno!

So that's the reason why I was so productive at work today....

glad to know im not alone in this, ive been trying over and over to see if it's fixed, but no avail...hope they get it fixed soon.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having problems. Not only does it tell me that there are no streams avail. but the facebook app has changed on my blackberry storm compeletely, is much smaller and I can no longer turn on its side in order to type and the background is blue. any body have any suggestions?

it appears that the FB Streams are back in working order :)

Still no stream post available in Cheyenne :-/

I still get notification but I just can't refresh...no worries, mobile web for now

You can still click over to the "Mobile Site" and/or use the extremely popular http://Lite.Facebook.com ;-)

Still "no stream post available"...11:40 PM in Virginia Beach...I'm starting to get really pissed!!! Better be back up tomorrow when I wake up.

same here in the philippines..I'm having a little problem with it.

Finally some kind of explanation... now when will it be resolved??

This is why I thought I would check here...my FB has not worked all day and I wondered if it was because of the new FB changes. Damn!

It's been for about 2 weeks for me. Kept getting slower and slower then 2 days ago nothing.

Still not working for me! SocialScope is working though.

so if it's fb APIs why are friends of mine able to have updated streams on theirs HTCS, iPhones and basically every other phone out there.

mine is working now. idk about you guys. at&t bold 9000

The Facebook App has running normal again !..

Check and give comment !

Yup working right now.. swear it was down 5 minutes ago.

Agreed it has been restored for me as well FINALLY!! Although I am kinda bummed I was hoping for a new update..

Looks like its working FINALLY!

yay its finally working onces more.

as well.:D

I am a now "Old School" 8330 user. I have better and faster luck with my BlackBerry Browser and the SMS updates then the actualy facebook app. I know its not just me cause I have friends with newer models and one had the Storm 2 and latest Tour. The app. sucks for both of them. Bottom line is the facebook app. is: Too Large, under featured, too slow and down right annoying and not practical. Compared to any other social networking app. out there.

10 hours later, I'm still problems getting FB updates.
Thank God I'm not the road!!!

all fixed over in UK it seems although it is insanely slow!!

my facebook app seems to be working now

my facebook app seems to be working now

alas its working gain

Its fixed! =]

Wasn't working on my 8900 yesterday afternoon but I woke up this morning and VOILA it is now working :-)

Seems like this problem has been fixed already, Facebook streams load just fine now

Just started working for me .. All is calm ... for now...

The facebook app is finally working on my BlackBerry Bold 9700 on AT&T.

Problem has been resolved for me. I actually thought it was my phone yesterday until I checked the blackberry group on Facebook and noticed everyone else was having issues.

It would allow me to update my status but wouldn't let me see anything else.

Glad it's all sorted now. Hooray!

Wow i thought it was just me but it finally just refreshed after allt his time!

Just got it back

Seems to be working now...6am in VA on Big Red

Mine is working fine now and has been for the past few hours

Way to go Facebook! You really did a great job planning this change out. Checked my Facebook app this morning and at least it seems to be working again.

facebook streams for facebook are now working...sweet!

Works for me on my curve 8900

It is working for me now! :)

working again...

I was hoping that this would be fixed in the process...

So I tested uploading a photo and it actually WORKED!!!

Is anybody having problems uploading photos using the Facebook app today?

I thought Facebook app went corrupted in my 8300 cos I was changing some security settings, tho' i was going to the mobile site all day long, but everything's going well since this morning...I'm glad to see that it wasnae me meself screwing things up.

even though it works now it still needs some changes to be implemented in it. here is an analogy for you...facebook on xbox live is to facebook for iphone as facebook for ps3 is to facebook for blackberry. anyone with a xbox and ps3 will know exactly what i'm talking about

I am having trouble uploading pictures on to facebook from my BB, it looks like it goes through and then it sends an error report, anyone having this problem or know how to fix it. I pulled the battery twice but no difference!

When saw the blog post on my BB Tour via Viigo, I was wondering what happened on Wednesday. I thought it was down due to the blizzard here in NJ and the midatlantic region and the network was down or everyone was on the FB app commenting.............about the storm.....LOL!!

Anyway at last check mine is running, albeit slow, yet still running. The new changes kind of stink on the PC FB page, I hope these changes won't make their way to the FB app, if that happens, oh for certain I am yanking it off my BB.

It seems like to me Facebook shelved their blackberry app. It's horribly slow and extremly inconsitent. While siting next to my wife she will laugh at me because she blazes thru Facebook on her Droid I'm still waiting to refresh stream if I happens at all. Boo facebook.
