I have successfully downloaded the new facebook 1.6 onto my blackberry pearl numerous times, and have done multiple hard resets by taking the battery out, yet the facebook app never shows up. it appears on the app list as installed, but does not show up on the main menu, and my facebook alerts are coming through my email....
any suggestions? maybe i can just go back to an old version?
Try hittin the menu button on your main menu and click your pearl on show all...see if the facebook icon comes up, if it does then highlight it then click the menu button in it and then click your pearl on the hide button to uncheck it if it's already checked, hope this helps.
can i just do it using desktop manager or do i need another app that you mention
If you click on this link from your device, you will have an option for Over-The-Air (OTA) download. You also can download it and install it using Desktop Manager. What instructions are you having trouble with?
