for the past 2 days FB places hasnt worked on my torch. When i go into options the check box is greyed out so I cant select it. Ive searched through like a million support forums who all seem to say the same thing...the GPS or maps is disabled. I have checked all these and they are all enabled. GPS location is on, I confirmed this is by switching on the Geo tagging on my camera, all working fine...
connecting to the Places App via Facebook, keeps saying Location temporarily unavailable, I have contacted my Wi Fi supplier who assures me everything is connected and fine, even refreshed it, checked all settings on fone and the only thing I've noticed is that it won't allow me to tick the Share My Location With Facebook option, it's a grey colour and I can't tick it!
My Wife has a BB Torch and we can't find the 'Places' icon on the ribbon/banner of the Facebook app. I pressed the menu button and check options but there was nothing in there. I tried to check for Face updates but it was check off to check automatically. GPS location is enabled in system properties.
For the past week or so when i try and check in on facebook places on my blackberry bold 9780 its not been working, its always worked perfect until i tried about a week or so ago, and since then ive tried nearly everyday just to see if its working but no nothing, keeps coming up with facebook error 2002 try again later. It works fine, finds my location, asks me if i want to check in, i click on check in and thats when the error message comes up, so doesnt let me finally check in. I dont know if its since ive updated to the new facebook app, i dont always use places, just now and again ,but always has worked great, until when i tried a week ago, it wouldnt let me and hasnt since. Ive got my location settings ON on options and ive refreshed GPS ,tried it with wireless on and wireless off, in many different locations, reboot phone etc but nope still the same.
I have the latest 9320 3g bb, i don't have the BB Addon, and im using wifi, when i try to check in it just says aquiring location and my location is never found. In my options GPS services are all on and in my fb settings places is also on but it's still not working? do i need to edit a privacy setting on fb?
I downloaded the new version facebook the other day and ever since then I haven't been able to use my places feature. It keeps saying "unable to retrieve your location, please try again later." I've re-downloaded facebook hoping that would help and it didn't. Does any have any idea on how I can fix this?
My facebook places does not work!!!! I have already changed my location to ON and my map app does work and is able to get my current location. The Facebook option to share my location is grayed out and its still not working! I have a BB 9780..
Just got my blackberry curve 8520 today and want to let my facebook friends know i was at home but the places icon, wasnt giving me a check in option, only showing where my friends where. can anyone help and let me know how i check in on the facebok app?
i have read through everything on here regarding this and am confused slightlY. can i use facebook places on my curve 8520 or not i have installed all the latest upgrades etc
I have a BlackBerry curve 8520 and i'm with T-Mobile. I have version 5.0 updated on my device and I have recently upgraded my Facebook application, my friends have the exact same phone as me and their Facebook places are now working... but when I try to "Check in" on my device it says No GPS Support, Your device does not support location servives. To use Facebook Places, a device with buillt-in location services is required. How come my friends have it and I don't?
does anyone know how to really sort out places in facebook? i know the 8250 doesnt have gps but it should still work using cell site location..i can get my location using google maps using cell site so i know my phones cell site works, but dont understant why it wont work in Facebook.
Facebook places was working fine on my device, but now it wont show my proper location on the facebook places map when i'm at home....when im out at other places it works fine, but i've never had this problem before as i used to be able to check in where i live...Blackberry maps show the right location but the facebook one dosn't....My facebook is up to date so i know thats not the problem.
I just bought my Blackberry Curve 8520 3 weeks ago. I'm just wondering why I can't use Facebook Places. My cousin has also the same unit but she can use it. I go to Settings then Options then Advance Options and I can only find Location Settings. I have paired my phone to same Blackberry 8520. Location Services is ON. Location Data is ENABLED. And one thing more, I cannot received files through bluetooth.
iv been accessing my facebook the my BB 8520 as i want to maximize all the functions it offers. just some things i want to make clear about... first, whenver i would use Facebook places, the location pin just would not point at the exact place where i am even if i have added it by myself.. theres no funcition on ho to edit the mp so that itll point exactly ro where it is supposed to be.. nother thng, whenver i would upload pics from BB to facebook.. theres just no feature wherre i can tag pics to my friends.
I've tried to use places on fb but it doesn't give me the option. On share my location with facebook the writings grey and its not available. I've tried upgrading the fb but it says my device isn't compatible or something like that. I have a 8520 curve, everyone else i know who has the same phone and network 02 can use theirs and its frustrating that I cant use something simple on it.
checking in on Facebook with a photo? I've done 3 check-ins with a photo, 2 of which were two separate stories on my feed. Has anyone else encountered this, and is there a workaround or something I should do different?
Can't get places & Check in to work on Facebook. Error : Every time I go into places to check in I get " The application Facebook ( process com.facebook.katana) has stopped unexpectedly. Pleas try again. Don't think I have it set up right.
My facebook application does not work on my phone. I used to use my phone in canada with bell, but now i am living in the uk on a different provider. I went to them to ask why it wasnt working and if they could fix it. we tried everything and it still didnt work. The employee told me that the facebook widget was still attached to my old provider and that i would need to call them to have them remove me..
Ever since I downloaded the latest version of the Facebook for Blackberry app through App World, I get the following error message: "Unable to connect to the Facebook server (1400)". I have tried numerous times to pull the battery as well as uninstall / re-install the app and no luck. I also tried to download the app via the web, but still have the same problem.
I was using my Facebook app on my device up until last week without any problems, until one day it just seemed to crash :/ I uninstalled the app with the intention of reinstalling it to see if this would help, or even see if an upgrade was available.However, it wont let me reinstall the app, and when I try to reinstall through my browser, it says that my device doesn't support it! Finding using Facebook on the browser all the time really slow and annoying so would really like some help as to how to get my app back and working again!
I'm not sure why, but suddenly my Facebook notifications stopped working on my phone. Whenever my friends write on my wall or anything, I don't get a notification for it. Whoever, whenever I receive an inbox message on FB, then I receive the notification for it. I tried doing a battery pull, I logged off then on, I checked for updates. But it still doesn't receive any notifications.
As of about a week ago, I have started receiving only about 10% of the messages and notifications from facebook that I used to receive to my Blackberry. 90% of the messages and notifications now just get stuck in facebook and I only see them when I log into fb through my laptop.
As of the last week, every once in a while I will receive some facebook message or notification to my blackberry, but the majority don't make it to my Blackberry and instead just stay on facebook until I open the site on my laptop.
I am sure this has been posted. I've searched for a few posts but haven't yet been able to find a solution.I have a Blackberry Torch 9800 with AT&T and just got the software update. I can login to Gmail and use the internet however when I go to log-in to Twitter and Facebook I get the message"you are currently on a sevice plan that does not support this apllication, please connect to a wifi network or contact your service provider to upgrade your dataļ
facebook email and internet has stopped working. this has happened before but usually rectifies itself after a few hours. its been down for 7 hours now, and i need my phone for work. its really starting to effect me and annoy me etc etc
My face book email and net has stopped working. this has happened before but usually rectifies itself after a few hours. its been down for 7 hours now, and i need my phone for work. its really starting to effect me and annoy me etc etc
Smart Lock for Trusted devices (that is, bluetooth) works fine. however, Trusted places does NOT work EVER.
i can add Trusted places such as Home, my office, etc.... but it does nothing. no matter what, it won't allow me two swipe up to access the phone- it requires my PIN 100% of the time.
Location Mode is High accuracy (GPS and networks).
I've rebooted many times. I've added, removed, and added places... no place ever works for this feature.
I can't download blackberry appworld, my facebook, twitter are not working, but I managed to download opera mini browser and I have been using that to access facebook, twitter and other web pages.
