I am having the same issue with mine.

It doesn't look like Facebook puts out Iphone updates very often. I think we can expect a long wait before there is a fix to this problem. Must have to do with the 3.0 software update. Mine worked perfectly before I updated. I used it several times while in Disneyland.

I find the facebook app to be buggy as heck and crashes quite a lot

downloaded this app. Very easy to use with lots of info on each ride as well as the fastpast list. The kids enjoyed listing the facts for the rides and the list of A/C rides came in handy too. I recommend it to everyone (with an iPhone or iTouch). On the iTunes Store type in Orlando Attractions or go to the Travel Page on iTunes. (I don't know how to link it). It saved me having to carry around my cheat sheet with the height restrictions on it too (young ones in the bunch). Hope it helps someone else too.

Interesting. This makes me wonder if Apple certifies all the apps for the IPhone before releasing them to the public.

I don't think they do any rigorous testing although they must run them to do decide if they will allow them on the store. App developers did have to certify that their apps ran on 3.0 prior to 3.0's release or Apple was going to pull the apps from the store. Really with over 50000 apps available it's up to the developers not Apple make sure they work.

I just noticed that on the AppHappy.webs.com website they have free promo codes for the application. I was not able to use it, but truthfully it was worth the buck anyway. just thought someone else might be able to use it.

Checked this morning and there is a new version of the FaceBook App available. I haven't tried it yet to see if it fixes the problem.

I just downloaded it. It works differently but better than it had. You can't see the "picture" with the first shot, but you can for the second one if you choose retake.

Cool! Thanks! Although it still maybe easier to take the photo with the camera app and then jump over to the Facebook app to upload it. I'm going to download it soon to check it out.

Argh! Is anyone else having a problem downloading apps from the app store? Every time I try and enter my password on my phone it tells me it's incorrect, which it's not. It works fine on my computer. I didn't a quick google search and it seems I'm not the only one having this problem, but no one seems to have a solution. I updated to 3.0 yesterday and it's been happening since then. It's really frustrating!

I guess it is what you get used to doing. I always took the pictures through Facebook, my daughter used the camera and sent them to Facebook.

I wonder when we'll be able to upload video from the Facebook app. I figured since the new IPhone 3G was able to do video uploading it through Facebook would be possible. Maybe soon.

Okay, so I have yet to install the software update to my iPhone. I think I read on here that I need to install the newest iTunes so I am doing that. Once that is done, what do I do? Do I just plug the phone in? Is it still giving people problems?

Also, I have a question about the wifi feature. Should I be connected to my wireless Internet service when at home? I've been hitting the cancel button and just using 3G, but wasn't sure if I should be doing something else.

Thanks!

All you do is sync with iTunes 8.2 installed and it should offer to update to 3.0. The wave of 3.0 upgrades and iPhone 3G S activations is pretty much done. You shouldn't have any problems.

Also, I have a question about the wifi feature. Should I be connected to my wireless Internet service when at home? I've been hitting the cancel button and just using 3G, but wasn't sure if I should be doing something else.

You should use WiFi at home. It's faster and draws less power.

That happened to me recently. Turns out my wife has bought something on the iTunes store before I synched my iTouch. The next time I synched it, it recognized her as the logged in user and made her account the one on my iTouch. The 3.0 update lets you switch users now. Make sure its your account when the screen comes up asking you for your password.

I was told by the AT&T rep not to use wifi because it uses too much of the IPhone battery. The new 3G seems to load web pages over the AT&T network very fast. I disabled wifi and have noticed a large increase in battery life.
Just an observation I thought I'd share.

That's interesting. I don't know what I should do now. Maybe I should start a poll? lol

Hmmm. I wonder why the internet use is higher using wi-fi then (info for 3GS):
Internet use:
Up to 5 hours on 3G;
up to 9 hours on Wi-Fi

So I should definitely be using my wireless then when at home?

Can you store apps on your Itunes library and move them over to the iPhone when needed? Or are all apps in your library downloaded every sync?
