I have installed the latest version of fb, however I can’t check into any places but have the icon?? When I click onto it all I am able to do is view places my friends have visited. Help!

samee

When i go on places, the check in button doesnt come up, it only shows my friends locations. Then when i go to options, and go to click on share my location. The box i have to click is un-clickable and is a grey colour.

SAME. It’s peeing me right off.

Hi Dawn,

Have a look at the following two articles about Facebook Places: http://bbry.lv/fbplaceskb and http://bbry.lv/gISIO7

this is so damn annoying. “your location is temporarily not available”… i don’t care i just wanna check in! help!

Does this work for the Curve 8520? I have tried using this for several instances now but it doesn’t seem to work!

i went into options and i couldnt see an advanced options?! Any suggestions??

cannot use places on my bb curve… my location is temporarily not available. in facebook options i cant change the setting to share my location and there is no check in button anywhere. help?

tried that and it didnt work! I hate my Blackberry!

I have had the same issue as most of you who have posted. I am sick of reading the same pages because they are no help at all. My location is selected to ON (via opt, adv opt, GPS), and the tick box is greyed out in my fb options so I can’t select it. Is there anyone out there who has got a curve 8520 and actually has this app working????

this actually did work for me aswell! thank you

It worked thank you!!!

That worked!!!! Great advice!

im pretty sure that places just doesn’t work for the blackberry curve. because i just got the 8520 and i put the new facebook on and it doesnt work. and it seems like everyone elses isnt working either..

im not that happy that i have a 8520 blackberry and the places for facebook isnt compatible with this phone i would really like it to be added to all phones…

try turning youre bluetooth on

i have it on mines…what I did was:
-go to options
-go to advanced options
-go to wireless update.
you need to update your blackerry.
after its completed downloading to the new software, you can be able to now use facebook places app for blackberry 8520. hope it works

try going to
-options
-advanced options
-wireless update
& download the new software from there & once its been completed you’ll be able to use facebook places app. it also has alot of cool features such as your fb contact friends added to you phonebook with their fb picture.
i have the 8520 & it worked for me. figured out myself too

I have a Blackeberry 8330 and i want to know how to add plces to my phone to use on fb?
can anyone help me out?

i have installed new updates on my bb curve 8250, un installed and re installed facbeook an still no joy. When i click ‘places’ it says its aquring info then says location is not available. I have also gone to ‘options, advanced options but cannot see GPS’ anywhere. This is so frustrating. ARRRRGGGHHHH x

On my storm I had to start gps navigation on the bb maps app before my places would work.

Hello. How can I suggest to the developers of the application “Facebook for BlackBerry ‘to add the ability to manipulate its”pages “? The iPhone does, but not Android or BlackBerry version has this option.

i did it and it worked fine for me

works

i couldn’t see the advanced options too

That worked for me! Thanks!

I tried all below and still could not get Places to work on my BB bold. So then I went into Maps and left click turned “start GPS navigation”. After it searched satellites it found my location in maps. Then simply go to Facebook and click Places and it comes right up!

can oyu PLEASE stop putting the same articles in that are absolutely no help to the vast majority of us? We have done everything these articles have suggested ans it still doesn’t work

this worked for me. after nothing else did. THANKS

What if there is no choice of turning location on, or putting gps to another setting?:S

l’ve been on the phone to customer services about the BB and facebook places app, not all BB are accepting facebook places, any further information needed about this then people need to contact facebook directly and enquire via there.. hope this helps… l am in the same situation with my BB, can’t get facebook places check in
