Facebook permissions issue

Hi all - hoping you might be able to help here. I installed the Google Maps app today and I think I accidently changed some permissions. The result is that Facebook for Blackberry (1.7) stopped working. I can still see messages etc but if I try to 'like' or to comment or update my status I can't. I've reinstalled several times and restarted etc but no luck.

 

What happened was this. I isntalled the Maps app and it brought up the permissions menu. I hit ok and then got a message saying that there were more restrictive permissions so the BB needed to restart. Since then FB has been shot.

 

When I try to 'like' something I get "You don't have permission to do this." If I try to update my status I get "Facebook was unable to fulfil request die to an unknown error". If I try to comment I get no pop up, but it still doesn't work.

 

I also tried to edit the permissions in Options->Advanced Options->Applications but there's no option to edit permissions for FB.

 

Any help?

Re: Facebook permissions issue

Hi, i am also having the same issue and it only started last night. I have BES activated on my black berry and i am not sure if that may be causing the problem because of the IT policies.

 

Do any of you guys also have BES activated?
