bbreview says this version works with 5.0, but I installed it and i still can't open it and I don't have an icon. Anyone have any luck?

Facebook & MySpace Updated! Now Works With OS 5.0 | BerryReview.com »

it doesnt however mention which of the OS 5 betas out there it works on.
also when I try to download it, it still states 1.6.0.21
.22 version is apparently a) not out there or b) been pulled.

A few additional points:

This update was intended for devices running 5.0+, of which, .230 works the best.

Shaun is correct. If you have less than OS 5.0 release... no go.

It is available and it has not been pulled, at least as of ten mins ago.

I'm on 5.0.0.130 on an 8900, and it's not working on mine.

ahh okies.
thanks for that JSanders.

Works great on 230 for me.

I just realised something, this means OS 5 is coming real soon!
They wouldn't release FB to work with OS 5 (and only be downloaded by those running beta Os 5, which is strange) unless OS 5 is coming soon.

Wow, I cant wait.

Works well on my 9630 using 5.0.0.230

Working on my bold running 5.0.0.190 with no issue. I tried the version on appworld and got no icon so I went to facebook from my BB and downloaded from there.

Doesn't work on .130, it does when I upgraded to .190, but I miss the tabbed browsing. Oh well, I guess you can't everything.

i have a Bold running 5.0.0.190 and it is working on mine.

Thanks

8900 with .190 and facebook works fine.

On my Bold with 5.0.0.190 facebook workin correct Also MySpace and Flickr :D

Does anyone know how to turn off the LED indicator for the facebook application? i have it set to "off" under the ringtones/alerts > facebook settings but it doesnt seem to work.

any ideas?

Mine comes off


On .190 on the facebook app freezes alot for me. Only other applications i may have runnin are bbm and msn...

does anyone else experience this?

looks like RIM and the 'main' (for lack of a better word) 3rd party apps are getting ready for an official release of 5.0. i'm still skeptical of using 5.0. i think i'll wait.

btw, not sure if anyone's brought this up, but does viigo work on .190? and what about games? oh berrybuzz as well? those are my main 3rd party apps.

This version of Facebook even though it runs on 5.0.0.190, seems to have a lot of bugs. I haven't had any freezes or lock ups, but I'm having a lot of connectivity issues. On the other hand, I'm having problems using Facebook on my desktop.

I've tried through other networks and had the connectivity problems too. So I think the problems are two fold. There are probably some problems with facebook servers, and the app is buggy. I would say we won't see any resolution until the rumored 1.7 version of the app is released.

To further support the buggy app idea, I put this version on my pearl flip running 4.6.180 and it's not any better. So here's to hoping for a new release soon.

The latest version of Facebook I can find is 1.6.0.21 anyway.

I am running 1.6.0.22 fine on 5.0.0.230 on my 8330.

First of all....as some have mentioned. You have to be on 5.0.0.xxx to be able to download it.

I downloaded the only one I could find on BB App World 1.6.0.21, installed it and then I could not find the icon. I went back to BB App World to realize that it was prompting me for an update to .22. I did the upgrade and it works perfectly!

The only thing I noticed is that FB does not show up on the applications screen...I'll try again after a reboot!

BTW ~ I updated to 5.0.0.238 on my 8900 this morning.

Hope it helps

BTW2 ~ I can't see any difference from .21 yet....
