FB Places Check never loads on my phone, I have a defective phone...

I found other friends and family with the epic when they go to facebook and click places and check in it brings up the list right away, mine says loading forever and never loads. I took it to the store today and even their display unit brought the list up my phone did not. The tech ordered me a replacement he said it would be a refurb I kind of hate that but oh well lol, anyone else have this issue? everything else on FB works fine

my places works fine.

did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

or going into settings>applications>manage applications>facebook and then hit clear data or clear cache. force stop it and then reopen it?

id try these before getting a refurb. and id demand to not get a refurb since its not lost or completely unrepairable.
idk the rules behind it but still the thought of a refurb sucks. i feel your pain
