Facebook 3.0 Crashing (Pretty sure it's Jailbreak related)- FIXED!!!!!

Warbrain said:
Possibly try removing it and reinstalling it.

I have tried everything!

-Uninstall and Reinstall (From both iPhone and iTunes)
-Restarting after Install
-Running in Safe Mode
-Running with all MobileSubstrate Disabled (Through SBSettings)

I have no idea what is wrong :(
 
No problems to report (knock on wood) so far w/my 3g JB, and I didn't restart the phone prior to using FB.

Crashes on my iPod Touch first gen 3.0

and then the next time I run it, it crashes

I've tried to install facebook through installous, it still crashes

Not jailbreak related

I have an non jailbroken iPhone3GS and i can hardly use the app as it crashes permanently.

I had some issues with FBapp in the past, it would crash or not load on my iPhone. My wall also would not update on my wifes iPhone. What I found was that there were some posts on my wall that had some strange characters in them, there would be my post but at the end of it there would be these 3 or 4 odd looking characters at the ends of the words. They looked like little boxes with numbers inside them.They wouldn't show up in the FB App, only when viewed on the PC. Once I deleted these posts everything was fine. I never found out what they were but it happened to a friend also, once she deleted those posts her wall came back.

Look over all your wall posts ON THE COMPUTER for anything odd. I also heard that if there are any long posts that those might cause the iPhone app to be buggy.
 
Ive just installed after reading the above posts.

After installing i tried to open it but it kicked me out straight away. I rebooted phone and now its working fine.

Im jailbroken, 3G 8GB. 
 
My wife updated to this lastnight and hers just hung on the white screen with Facebook in blue at the top. Then the app closed. Continued to do this. I removed the app and installed again. Asked her to logon. She was able to get in. I just got an email from her saying this.

"Tonight I need you to look at my phone again! On facebook I can't bring up my notifications to see what people wrote on my wall or comments! :("

She has a jailbroken 3G. I have a jailbroken 3GS. Works fine on mine. I am convinced this is a problem with the new app. Far too many people having problems.

Jailbroken 3Gs and I use qTweeter extensively. No problems at all and I've been using both since I downloaded fb yesterday afternoon. As a matter of fact, I used qTweeter while facebook was running. Still no issues :)
 
I just looked at my wife's wall and she does not appear to have any Emoji images on hers. Gotta be something else.

Glad I could help you - I saw those icons on a post above yours it says;

"Im jailbroken, 3G 8GB. "

See the little box at the end? For some reason these screw up the facebook app for the iPhone - keep checking your wife's, there must be one on hers.

I'm happy that I could help you, it drove me crazy too until I discovered it.
 
lolz I got mine to work somehow

Well, I think last night I went search for the app and install it from the iphone because I wasn't getting the update through itunes on my mac, so anyways. I just deleted the non-working app got the update on my mac and syc again.

it works now
