Hi all,

Today I tried to use facebook on my iPhone and for some reason whenever I click news feed it just get an error message saying no Internet connection, everything else works and I also get notifications

Anyone else have this problem, I've restarted the phone, deleted and reinstalled the app but nothing works, I can still acess it using safari but not with the app

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

I've just checked the App on my IPhone 4 and everything seems to be working ok with Three it sounds like it might be an O2 network issue again.

It sounds more like a DNS sever problem relating to the Facebook feeds by the sounds of it, that would affect some people and not others.

Ive had this problem all morning (was working fine last night).

If you have a look at the reviews in App store it seems a hell of a lot of people are having this problem
I just dont understand why they dont test these things before releasing them? there always seems to be a problem after every update!
I have uninstalled it and installed it again and this didnt work either. Just a waiting game now till they fix it it seems

This issue only seems to be affecting certain networks though don't thInl it's down to the App itself it's been working fine on Three since I upgraded last week and another posted stated the same so it seems to be a server side issue.

I've just checked and it's working fine for me. I'm on O2. As someone said, it's likely to be something Facebook side.

Yea, now seeing your posts I agree, it's something on Facebooks side gone wrong.

I've been having the same problem, since last night.

Everything else works fine, but when I try to access the news feed, it says there's no internet connection. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing changed.

I'm using an iPhone 3GS on Orange so it can't just be a network problem

I'm on Orange too.
The people who i've spoken to at work are on o2 and they have had no problems.

I remember something similar to this happening a while ago for Orange customers so maybe it is an IP Connection problem again as it was lat time?

Is that something that just sorts itself out in time? I'm pretty clueless about these things!! Only had the iPhone for a couple of weeks so still unsure of it sometimes!

The Facebook app on my 3GS was working okay until just now. It now says 'no internet connection' and won't load anything.

I think it just sorted itself out after a day or two (i might be wrong though as it was a while ago)

what networks are you all on? So far we can see Orange seem to be affected but o2 and 3 are ok so it has to be some sort of IP connection problem maybe??

Same problem for me on Orange too. No point in phoning them though to be told by some Asian that it's a Facebook problem! Wish I'd stayed with o2!

It's working fine for me on O2 - also use another app called Facely HD which is fine too.

mine has started acting really weird last couple of days. when i first got the update it was fine, but now the home screen has changed you can now 'like' comments and stuff

but when i log in it sometimes logs me straight back out, the home screen taking ages to load. pages freezing.

hopefully they release another update that gets rid of the bugs soon.
