- Have Face 10. It takes time getting used to it,but it acceptable..takes a bit too long for the start page to open..other than that it's better than the browser fb with is horrid.. loved my z30 for 2+ years,and all my previous bb's...but if bb10 is officially put to rest, i will move to iphone..
Posted via CB1003-20-16 09:23 PMLike 0 - I posted what I did earlier yesterday, here's an excerpt.
".... I decided to delete FB fully from BB World. I then used Blitz and put FB back on. It works and there is no connection with BB World anymore. So I guess I'll see if this approach continues to work post Mar 31st. Unfortunately the Android version doesn't work. Not having the native app prevents you from even using Share to FB. You can't do that with the browser so it's more than just Hub integration for notifications."
you can share with the android app
Posted via CB1003-20-16 09:36 PMLike 0 - And if after 1 April the fbk app I've installed is going to work? Is not connected to the one on Bb World so...it should be ok, but you can try face 10, versions of fbk for android or in others case, only comment on a forum topic and cry that can't find an solution when somebody already has one and the only thing you have to do is try it!
When you have a problem I think you're looking for an solution, don't you? Well in this case I have one, if it's good or not, will see, but I think is the right one.03-21-16 01:57 AMLike 0 - And if after 1 April the fbk app I've installed is going to work?

Eat crap blackberry. Remind me why I faithfully try to stay with you? It's like you just want us to go to the dark side. Or maybe BlackBerry is the dark side
Posted via CB1003-21-16 08:05 AMLike 0 - I read somewhere that the main reason why Facebook and WhatsApp decided to abandon BlackBerry is simply because that can't mine data on bb10 phones. . Apparently, both Facebook and whatsapp have been mining data on Android and IOS versions

It's simple, but why should facebook give a toss about bb10 when BlackBerry have already thrown in the towel.
Posted from my passport not 'running the google'03-21-16 09:33 AMLike 0 - If you want a way to downgrade without having to look for an old fb version, here's a way - back up, reload your phone from the Link and then restore all except the facebook app files. Not the easiest way but it worked for me.
Also someone wrote here that if you delete the app without updating it your contacts and calendar will stay. It will not update anymore but better than nothing. Haven't tried that but I will before the app stops working.
Apparently Facebook closed up on everyone so contacts and calendar will not work on any OS. This is FB's fault, not BB!03-21-16 09:38 AMLike 0 - Due to poor management BlackBerry is the only phone on the face of the planet without full FB support... if I wanted to I could use my original motorola RAZR with FB... shameful !!03-21-16 10:19 AMLike 0

Google will never give then play store built in with services unless a Droid device cause people would be switching like crazy once they tasted the forbidden fruit of BB10!...

He he he
Well, if WhatsApp from a corporate policy is not acceptable as an IM tool.. this sounds great and the demise of those two apps might be irrelevant....
Posted via CB1003-21-16 08:33 PMLike 0 - Well, I guess in some BlackBerry niches such as government and financial services, both wouldn't be allowed anyway due to possible data privacy and compliance issues. I used to work as an analyst at a bulge bracket investment bank and they had all social media sites (e.g. Facebook) blocked on the office PCs. They also were super afraid of insider information leaking out and other compliance breaches, so I suppose Whatsapp on the work phone would be a big no-no. I guess BB10 can still be a great tool for those niches even in 5 years (assuming continued updates, e.g. to the browser), but for the consumer market FB and Whatsapp are two of the most important apps and not easily replaceable as inofficial apps are not allowed.03-22-16 09:47 AMLike 0

In the end it is a psychological issue about the horrible feeling of just losing some of these core apps. Even if we don't really need them just knowing they are not there anymore is a big damage to the BlackBerry 10 market. They should do whatever to fix this....

BTW: I still say give Tinfoil For Facebook in google play a try, it's like meant for the passport and looks so similar to the old BBW version! Give it a try and tell me it's not good nor need barely any permissions hence the tinfoil in the name of the awesome app!

Do you get notifications through the app in your Hub?
That would be perfect!

I am completely content with tinfoil as its just like you said and use face10 for speedy hub browser like reads and when I want to actually use the app, open up tinfoil and it's good to go!...
Posted via CB1003-22-16 03:03 PMLike 0 - Leave a review like I did how he saved Blackberry 10 OS with tinfoil for facebook I am in talks with him now about bringing to to BBW. The more five star reviews he sees from us appreciating what he unknowingly did for BB10 plus the fact it's based on privacy and it also looks super similar but more functional to the OG BlackBerry facebook it's a no brainer glad somebody else tried it. It's a big time app for privacy and as I said talking to dev now he is at least willing to try to work out any kinks on BB10 which I found none yet except the first start after download is a tad slow then it flies from then on out and that UI is superb imo.
