Facebook app on iPhone 4 - Doesn't work?

Hi,

I'm experiencing some difficulties to load the Facebook application on the iPhone 4. I know the 3.1.3 update doesn't "support" iOS4 features such as backgrounding/multitasking, but it should, at least, work no?

My cellular DATA is turned ON, I tried both with the Wifi and the 3G, and it connects to Facebook very randomly (I would say one each 10 times).
I reinstalled the application twice (just by deleting it and download it again) and it doesn't work.

But* the PUSH seems to work... except that I'm screwed as soon as I click on "view"..
Any idea?

Also, is it normal that we have to type the password EVERY TIME we want to connect?

I'm not having any problems with it. And I don't have to type in the password every time.

Well, I'm doomed, or I don't use it correctly?
Have you installed it from your computer or from your iPhone? Is there a setting for the password?

Delete the app from your iPhone and reinstall, that might help.

As I said, I've already done it, without any success.

I had it on my 3GS even before the iOS4 upgrade. I've installed it both from iTunes and from the App Store on my iPhone directly. I don't know of any setting that keeps me logged in. Maybe it's something in Facebook itself and not in the app? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Well, how could it be Facebook itself if I'm the only one experiencing the issue ?

I'm experiencing the same problem. I have a 3g with installed ios4. Every time that I try to log onto facebook it asks my password again. Then it also stalls while loading my password and then if it does open it crashes with 5 different pages opened on facebook. All my other apps seem fina and the facebook app worked perfectly before the update. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app itself as well.

This is really annoying... I still have the issue after having restored the iPhone.

Anyone?

I am also having this same issue. It is inconsistent, but it frequently prompts me for my password but then hangs and doesn't open. I also have deleted and re-installed from the phone. I hope someone has the answer because it is extremely annoying.

The latest version of FB app for iphone (released just this week?) seems to have fixed MOST of my problems. However, if I click on the Notifications alert that shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen, it hangs and I have to get out and then it asks me to login again and doesn't work, just like before. So I guess I will not click on the notifications alert until they work out this little bug. But it's much better than before.
