    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?

    thanks

    Never use it myself, but you might want to look at the permissions in options.

    I have all of the permissions set as "allow," but it still isn't there

    Try installing it again, I presume there should be an icon installed.

    I deleted and then re-installed, but the same problem happens

    I've downloaded it through both the facebook website, and through blackberry app world too so not sure what the problem is

    your info says you have OS 4.5

    my pearl says its 4.3- could that make a difference?

    According to the info I read, it works on 4.2 and up. You really should upgrade though. It will make a world of difference in other areas for sure.

    What do you mean it won't work? The only thing you need differently is this:

    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.

    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?
