- My wife and I recently both got 8530's. While I recieve Facebook notifications, she doesn't. I've checked the settings on the PC version. I've re-installed the FB app on her phone. She doesn't get notifications on her BB home page, and in the BB FB app the only notifications listed are the things she has done, not anything else. Still no luck. I can't seem to find any settings that are different between our phones. Any help would be great.03-06-10 10:11 AMLike 0

A battery pull or soft reset may help as well.

But it turned out her hotmail account was blocking the notifications as spam, thus they weren't getting to her phone. Talk about a wild goose chase.03-06-10 08:54 PMLike 0 - eh, yeah i have the same problem. i basically just use that app for updating my status and uploading photos. i think it has something related to not allowing facebook to send you emails to your phone. i think that's how it updates through the app.
i would get tons of emails from facebook and it kept getting reset if i logged into the app. so i changed my email and had them direct to the trash of that email. i haven't gotten facebook updates to the app since.
RIM just needs to update the app. this is ridiculous. (lol @ us complaining about a facebook app)03-06-10 10:20 PMLike 0 - This is rather annoying. There are several posts out there on this topic, I was hoping to find something new and/or helpful here. Seems as if this app just doesn't play well with the 8520. I have tried 3 different release versions of the fb app and all are flawed. ARGHH!03-07-10 02:08 PMLike 0
- IS the e-mail account your FB account is with setup on your phone?
You will not recieve notifications if it isn't.03-07-10 02:42 PMLike 0 -

Do you have the newest OS running on your phone?
Does anyone know if the new FB app is compatible with that?03-07-10 06:08 PMLike 0 - By "that" if you mean the latest BB OS, then yes. FB 1.6.0.22 was the first to be "compatible", although most people say buggy, just like the latest 1.7.0.22.03-07-10 07:41 PMLike 0
