Nelson and a few others brought to our attention that the Facebook application for BlackBerry seems to be on the fritz. Many people across the globe are reporting that their Facebook news feeds are not updating inside the application. Surprisingly the contact list is updating just fine and the contact sync and linking is also working.
Let us know what you are seeing!

Luis,
I am currently using social scope also version 9.5.44 and had the latest beta version but it made me go back to this one. How did you get the latest with ability to comment on photos?

it just depends on what group of tester you are, I have one of their latest version. They control which version you have.

I’m getting the same result as the screenshot above when I attempt to update my News Feed. However, I’m still getting alerts when people respond to comments/updates that I’ve ‘subscribed’ to. And regarding those alerts, it’s hit or miss as to whether or not I can see the thread or get an error message.

The reason you guys are having a problem, is because you need to log into facebook on a full browser. There is a new layout which u need to accept news feed as a main setting when facebook starts on a pc. You’ll know what I mean when u log in.

The new interface showed up a few days ago, but my BlackBerry stopped updating as of last night. I don’t see the ‘accept news feed’ you are referring to…

The Facebook app has been so slow that I have stopped using it, so I did not notice that news feeds were gone. Viewing comments made on status messages takes so long, I don’t bother with them either

Yup FB changed the look again. I’m not changing anything. I hate the news feeds. All the Farmville and crap that comes with it. And yes I’m getting the same message as everyone else.

The full site’s layout change itself isn’t the cause of this; that started several days ago. The current problem is with accessing the newsfeed via external applications. The same problem exists for Digsby users as well. Either the Facebook API platform itself is having problems, or all clients will be issuing a code update in the next couple of days.
Jon Not Registered

Update: Digsby pushed out an update today. TweetDeck is also requiring to re-auth newsfeed access to work. I would imagine we’ll see a BB FB app update shortly.

Apologies, regarding my earlier post. It’s incorrect. I’ve just checked it and my news feed does not update. It’s probably someting similar to using 3rd party apps to ue facebook messenger chat features. I had to change a few privacy settings to allow fb chat to be used in a 3rd party I’m app. At least there will be a long awaited new update for fb soon!

If you press your blackberry button (while your in facebook)and go to mobile site, you can read the updates. This will work in the meantime until they get things fixed.

I have the same problem as the picture above. I can post to my wall but I can’t review comments once I get the alerts. I can not view a message that people send me either. This really sucks! They need to fix it. All my friends w/ blackberrys are having the same problem. I have also heard the I-phone is having issues too just not as bad.

Considering how long it takes RIM to fix OS errors (which is EXTREMELY important), it doesn’t surprise me that this Facebook problem has been going on for over 2 days and they haven’t released a fix. I’m sure something will be released within the next couple of days…

This wasn’t RIM’s issue. It was Facebook’s, and they fixed it; no update required.

I was experiencing the same problem today, However mine is working properly now. I uninstalled fb, battery pull and install it again thru http://www.blackberry.com/facebook. After the reinstall, everythings works great!
I did noticed that the mobile site to download is updated.
Goodluck!

Same ugly screen for me and I’ve already logged into Facebook on the PC, so I can’t use that as an excuse. They change UI all the time and it’s a major pain in the neck.
