Has anyone had problems logging onto Facebook with a phone. I can log on fine with the pc but with the phone I keep getting incorrect password messages. Thing is my log in details have not changed and were saved on the phone.

I've only ever had to log in once then, when I go back to FB (either via the app or website) I have remained logged in.

Sure you're putting the right password in? Some phones capitalise the first letter of a text box.

Some phones will always assume the first character you type of a password is a capital, when it may not be so. Try again, but make sure you hit "shift" to make sure the first is in lower case.

also I believe there is a feature in facebook where you can limit the locations you can log on from I think ?

This is usually the case but since Saturday i can't get logged in. I have made sure everything in typed correctly as my phone will use capitals to start. Suppose it means i will just have to get on with work. Just thought hotmail is exactly the same log in and i can get logged in fine with that.

I have read that FB have made some changes to their website. Don't know if that has had an effect.

OP, what exactly are you trying to log into - the full Facebook site, the mobile Facebook site or an app? I was using a Nokia N8 for a few weeks recently, and Nokia had created their own social networking app which worked with Facebook and Twitter. I seem to recall that when I attempted to log into Facebook on it, I received a text from Facebook saying that external apps needed their own special password to connect, and it gave me one to use.

OP i had that issue around 6 months ago (using FB as an app on iphone 4). i deleted and reinstalled the FB app and it seemed fine after that - i never found out what caused it....

On the Nokia X2, there's now a Facebook for Nokia app which I've downloaded, but nothing for Twitter. I use the Snaptu app for Twitter which has a bug where it doesn't pick up DM's, so it's back to web mobile Twitter.

I have no choice but to use the new app thanks to the mobile web Facebook being awful since the revamp.
