I have an 8310 Curve and I deleted the Facebook Application but I cannot delete the Facebook Calendar from the Calendar. Everything is defaulting to Facebook but when I go into Calendar Options, I cannot delete Facebook and just leave my two e-mail addresses. Can anyone help with this?

Ive tried… The thang is its not even showing up in the apps! The only thang on my phone I can find facebook is in the icon list and then also holding alt and pressing lglg to being up the event log and then going to options one says BBLogger[Facebook] and the others just say Facebook. Ive unchecked them and it still shows up.

Not sure what to say — if you followed the instruction in the post the app should be gone. Try pulling the battery, replacing, deleting the app if it is still visible then pull the battery again immediately after reboot.

When you are back up and running hopefully it is gone for good. Not much else I can tell you with regards to removing the app sorry =(

No I’m not getting any updates cause I have signed off the facebook app. I contacted AT&T and theres nothing they can do about it. I downloaded it to test it out to see how it was cause people I know have it and they liked it. I myself didn’t and I dont have a media package and once I had down loaded it it makes my BB freeze and run slow. Ive tired everything to get if off my phone. When I had gotten the phone it didn’t come with it I put it on there myself.

So you are still getting FB updates on your phone?

Many carriers push the FB icon to your phone as part of their service packages. If this is the case just hide the icon so you don’t see it.

(still nothing in there about Facebook) Does anyone know anything else I can do?

Craziest behavior on by Pearl 8120! This has eaten up hours of my time. After seeing duplicate entries in my calendar (entries were on my default calendar and Facebook, I started removing all the Facebook entries. Then I removed Facebook application from the applications list, but the CICAL entry was still listed in the service books and the Calendar was STILL getting all messed up. Removed that CICAL record, but Facebook STILL showed up in my calendar! Used DM to clear the calendar DB (entries were under “Calendar ALL” not “Calendar”. Re-synced with Google, and all the calendar entries were added to the (’non-existent’) Facebook calendar. Made sure that my Google Apps account was the default calendar (it was). Went back into DM and re-cleared the Calendar DB. Turned off the device, removed the battery, restarted the device, and IT’S STILL THERE. How can I have a calendar without a CICAL record in the service book for an application I removed??
