    If you were one of the folks who deleted FaceBook 1.6 to try 1.7 only to find out that it doesn't work without BIS, and later find out we can't download 1.6 anymore because downloading it requires BIS now, someone found a working download. Verified with the BB Bold and I just verified it with the 8350i.

    Note: I installed it via DM, and it put it in my Applications folder.

    Hmm it worked for me. I have software v4.6.1.204. Do you have v5.0? If so, FB 1.6.0.22 is what you'll need, not 1.6.0.21.

    So I have another question regarding Facebook. Whenever someone pokes me, I get a notification. I open my Facebook app, go to my friends list, highlight there name and hit the menu button. Usually a list of things comes up, call, poke, mms, etc.... only problem is, is that the people who are on Facebook friends and also in my contacts list on my phone I cannot highlight and get the list of options with their name. Anyone else have this?

    downloads as rar file. unable to load it properly. removed 1.7 from advanced options. doesnt it need to be alx file??

    Here is what I did step by step:

    1. I made sure 1.7 is uninstalled by going to Advanced Options > Applications (delete it from there if it still shows). After deleting, make sure you do a batt pull.

    2. I downloaded the file then extracted the contents (it's a RAR file so use winrar or 7zip or something...you're on your own on this step).

    3. I Connected my BB to my PC via DM and went to Application Loader. I double checked to make sure "Facebook" is not showing on the list of installed programs.

    4. Went to Application Loader > Add/Remove Applications, then went to "Browse" and pointed it to the folder where I extracted
    the FB 1.6 files. I selected to open the facebook.alx file then clicked Next.

    5. It showed a screen saying it's going to install Facebook. I clicked Finish and disconnected my BB from my PC. I checked all the folders and found it in the Applications folder.

    **Note that step 2 means that a RAR file is a compressed file. Kinda like a ZIP file.

    delrahim69: Check your PM.

    When I installed it, it installed in the Applications folder.

    Make sure you uninstall 1.7 first from Options then Advanced Options the Applications then do a batt pull.

    So im assuming that this fix only works for 8350i (curve)?

    I have Curve but its 8300 and everything goes well up until the point I cant find the APP icon.

    Venom, what's your OS version? Check out this thread. There are 3 versions up. One might work for you.
