[Q] Cleared data from Peep now cant log back in

So last night my wife asked if FriendStream on my phone had any tweets in it. It did but hers had not updated for over a day. I opened Peep and hit refresh and waited for it to update did this a few times and the latest it would get was still over 24 hours old.
Having seem similar problems before I cleared the cache of FriendStream its widget and Peep, Still wouldn't update so I cleared their data and that's where it went wrong.
Opened Peep and it had to the login boxes greyed out and a button saying logout, so I did and then tried to login I get Unable to sign in.
"You entered an incorrect username or password".
I have tried rebooting a few times and adding the account back in Accounts and Sync same problem, tried my account same problem, tried my wife's account on my phone and it logs in fine.
I have tried checking/unchecking SSL makes no difference, I know this happened a while back when Twitter changed there login API but it seems I broke something clearing Peeps data without removing the account in accounts and sync or it was broken already and that's why it would update and I brought the login problem to the surface.
If this was a normal app I would try and reinstall it but now I don't know what to do.
1) Can someone with a stock ROM confirm Peep is working and updating. My Desire has LeeDroid with a slightly newer Peep.
2) I have extracted htctwitter.apk from the Modaco ROM can you install this and have it overwrite the installed Peep on a stock un-rooted phone?
3) Any suggestions apart from do a factory reset? and if a factory reset is done any educated guesses if it will help?
4) Does a factory reset mean you have to OTA again or is the OTA written into the image when its applied?
Thanks for any help, seems I broke the wifes most used feature of the phone Not a good idea on my part.

Turns out Peep version 1.00.0061.26XXXX that ships with stock T-Mobile phones no longer works with twitter, T-Mobile are aware and talking to HTC about an OTA to fix this.

android.process.acore FC When Trying to Add a New Contact

Today I tred to add a contact to my phone. Each time I would tap the plus button to add the contact it would error and FC the phone application. I decided to do a factory reset real quick, opened the phone and added my friend's contact info before I had restored my Titanium backup. It worked fine.
Once I restored the backup of the phone, I went into the phone application and tried adding a contact again and it was again FCing. What I need to know is what file that has to do with my contacts I need to not reinstall? A phone isn't a phone if you can't add new contacts.
T-Mobile SGS2 running BeastMOD V1.

Just in case anyone else has this problem, it was the ICS Google+ application causing the problem. One I uninstalled it I was able to add contacts again. Sorry to waste a thread.

you can install the proper version from Android Market, that one works fine
only the ICS version causes that bug
i encountered it too myself on my old phone

Retrieving contacts

Hi guys, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my contacts back on my new rom.
Maybe I just dont know how to sync *from* google to my phone, I have always chosen the google option when creating new contacts but have never manually done a contact sync with google. I looked around on my google account but it says I have no contacts. I have a Nandroid backup but cant read the .img files to get to the contacts. I'm currently trying nandroid browser but it keeps trying to load without actually loading it. I have a titanium backup but after re-downloading it to the new rom it doesnt have an option for recover, only backup in my contacts storage. I did a nandroid backup before flashing my new rom, but the new rom has a different kernel which wont let me recover to my old rom without flashing a compatible kernel of my old rom. It was so long ago that I dont even remember what my old rom was, but it was a sense based rom. I've tried to find a 2.2 stock kernel to see if my old rom will load with that but every download link I try is broken or the file doesnt work.
This is driving me insane, everything I try is a brick wall. If you guys have some insight that would help out a LOT.
Contrary to my name, I do have an htc evo 4g.

Any ideas? Does anyone know of a program that will read the .img files on my mac? Can I go to the sprint store to get the contacts? I think I've done that before, but I'm pretty sure they were on my phone as well....

You synced your Gmail account in accounts and sync right?

Yeah, it has the check mark next to contacts. Interesting tho, when I went to my google account nothing showed up in my contacts section... I found my old rom but the updated rom manager wont let me install it. I think they're gone. I also found another app (app extractor) and that didnt get them back either. I guess anyone worth staying in contact with will eventually call me hahaha!!

Make sure you have the right account registered and recheck the contacts sync icon just to be sure.

I am currently having the same issue. I have a rooted evo 4g and I did a factory reset and loaded the 2.3.5 rom last night. I linked up my google account with my phone and i got a lot of contacts back, but not all of them. The one's I really need (mom, wife, etc.) weren't there. I logged onto my gmail account through the pc and it had the same contacts that synced up. It was weird because whenever i manually entered a new contact, i made sure I created it with the google account and I synced the account before I wiped the phone. I gave up, and like the OP said, if they really want to talk to me they'll contact me. I would still like to retrieve my contacts though.

ok guys...ran into this with my wife. When adding contacts make sure you add them as a Google contact. Should be a drop down in the contact page...otherwise they will only be stored as "phone"contacts
Hopefully they are saved with a Nan backup. If so expect them to your computer as a csv file and import to Gmail and next time be sure you are adding a new one as a Google contact

[Q] No Contact list

Hi Everyone. I damaged my Sprint Galaxy S 3 and it was replaced under the insurance plan. 3 days before damaging the phone I backed the Rom up with Clockworkmod Rom Manager. When I receiving the replacement phone I compared the version and build that each phone had installed on them and they were the same. I proceeded to root the new phone and installed Clockworkmod Rom Manager. I then restored the rom from the damaged phone to the new phone. Everything went OK and worked fine after restoring the ROM. I fell asleep happy. The next morning I woke up to an alert that my phone had a new update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 so I installed the update. After the update finished I tried to access my contact list and the phone froze up. I had to remove the battery to reboot. After rebooting I tried to access the contacts again same issue. Then I forced a sync. Still the same issue after syncing. I then rooted the new 4.1.2 install that was pushed to my phone, because the install took the root priveliges away (it rooted fine). After rooting all the issues remained it still froze when I tried to access the Contact list . After clicking the Contact icon a new blank page comes and then freezes. I tried opening the phone icon and no dialer came up. Instead it was a list of a few names (mainly the contacts left over from the old phones log or recent calls list.). If I and slid the name to the right, it would dial the phone and work fine. If I slid the name to the left the messege app came up and worked fine. However if I clicked the name it would freeze the phone. There was not an option to select a dialer anywhere. I did not even have a My Contact icon option to choose from to make a call. The only thee options that I had were above the recent call log, and they were: 1> delete, 2>call, 3> merge with google. If I chose either option or clicked on a name in the list the phone froze and I had to reboot. I cannot get My Contacts to sync up with my google account. Everthing else appears to be OK except. I did try to restore the clockworkmod rom back up to before the 4.1.2 update but that fails now also. I am stuck.I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Well, I would personally, do a clean install [fully wiping] and restore the rom. Generally restoring an 'old' system is generally not a good idea, especially from a 'different' device; it can be done, but issues could follow. Like I said, do a full wipe, flash your rom, and go from there.
Also, in the future, you'd be better off not restoring / using rom manager; as I've seen things go wrong in the past. It'd do you better to do it manually.

Did you go into manage apps and wipe data on contacts? Then resync....

Cannot Add New Contacts to Google Account or Edit Existing

I am having the same problem this user had back in March, however, mine isn't fixing itself. See HERE.
Everything was fine until I wiped and updated to a new version of Viper rom (I'm running ViperOneM8 6.1.0) Then I noticed that a contact I had created was gone. When I tried to add it back there is no option for adding it under my google account. Only options are for local storage or exchange server. It may have been broken before this update because the contact that went missing obviously wasn't saved to Google either and I just didn't realize it.
See screenshot.
Any ideas as to how to fix this?
