    No "check in" option on Facebook Places in Facebook 1.9.0.20? I can click on the Places tab, but all I get is a list of my friends locations. There is no option to "check in." How do I use Places on the new Facebook app?

    Press the MENU key and then select OPTIONS and go to the bottom and click on the FACEBOOK PLACES square and you can be as obnoxious as all of your FB friends.

    I had already found that, but it will not let me check the box.

    I have that problem too. I went through the settings on both the app and the site and still can't get the check box to let me check it...

    I figured out how to fix it! You have to make sure that your GPS is turned on. Then you may have to uninstall and reinstall Facebook. It should work then!

    Probably a stupid question, But how do I ensure that my GPS is turned on?? Does it just need to be enabled??

    I know sometimes these locate functions do not work on CDMA and will
    work on GSM networks.

    But should work with the GPS but CDMA does not play well with cell tower
    location information.

    Not sure if that what happening hear, but it will not allow me to check
    the box on my US Cellular CDMA 8530.

    Got a 8520 and also having the same problem. My GPS is turned ON. It does not give me an option to "Check In". All it shows are My Friends Check Ins. Anyone figured out how to make it work?

    So when you go to Places in the app and you see the greyed out "check-in" option, when you scroll up to it, nothing happens? It should take you to a list of places near you to check-in or create your own place. Mine does. I have a BB Bold 9000 running .822 if that makes a difference.

    Did you try deleting the app and reinstalling it? Battery pull?

    YES! I'm thinking, maybe it has to do something with the version of my phone (8520). I've yet to find another person with the same phone.
