[Q] Tilt 2 Update Twitter Problem - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi, I'm new and I am having a problem with the new rom update with Twitter, every time I post something or try to refresh it, it tells me The account was forbidden to access the twitter account! Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for your help!

Hi there,
Unfortunately, from today, the Twitter tab on Sense won't work because Twitter have changed the way accounts are authenticated
We'll have to wait until HTC fix the problem, but until then, I'd recommend a Twitter client like moTweets
Hope this helps.

No solution yet. Twitter changed the way users are authenticated, and that has resulted in twitter clients giving this kind of problem. The twitter client needs to be updated.

Thanks!
Thank-you for your help guys, I also just read on Engadget's site... I like how Twitter told them in Dec. that they would be changing it! At first I thought maybe it was something to do with the new rom update lol. I'll be sure to dl moTweets! Thanks again!

Facebook contact sync birthdates!

Installed the official 2.5 ROM for my TP2 and synched contacts with FB. What REALLY annoys me is that the birthdate is on the contact card but it doesn't update on the calendar. Now if I type in the birthdate manually it shows up on the calendar.
Is there any way to make this happen automatically? I have searched to no avail and any help would be very welcome

If this one doesn't work i've seen a coulpe other posts around, so take a look.
Thanks a bunch, I'll try them out later today.
Have a great easter
Checked out the thread you pointed me to, and some people say it should update automatically when synching to Outlook, which I am, and it doesn't do that. Hm. Maybe it's an issue with the Sense 2.5 ROM?

One obvious way is to link accounts, do an update to get pictures, birthdates, etc., then disable Facebook for each account for which you don't want status updates. That's what I do. Another way is to set Facebook updates to never, so it never updates statuses (or anything else) until you ask it to do so manually. Most people's pictures don't change that often, and birthdays even less often.

2.2 and facebook sync

Hi,
I have tried about 6 different 2.2 ROMS by different people and in everyone when i try the fbook sync it stops on 293 contacts. This means most of the important people do not have any fbook info linked to their name on the phone, no email address or photo etc
is this a bug in all the base 2.2s or something else i can fix myself?
Thanks

apparently leedroid's rom says it's got Facebook HTC sync fixed... give it a go i guess...
I tried 1.5b and it wasnt working in that one.
I guess it is an issue in the under lying 2.2 for them all to be broken is it?

HTC Sense Twitter not accepting login

Hi,I discovered two hours ago that my twitter account associated with the HTC Sense wasn't syncing at all,a message about server not responding was displayed.All other accounts like google, facebook,flickr all seem to be ok. So,I decided to remove the twitter account from "Account&Sync" and recreate it with the same username and password but kept getting "invalid username and password" everytime.I signed in via web browser,the loving details were accepted. Does anyone have this same issue?

I can confirm I'm having this EXACT same issue! It's just started happening! Thank goodness I'm not alone, for a second there I thought my phone was f*cked.
Downloaded official Twitter from the marketplace and that's working. Maybe Twitter has decided to block Peep for some reason?
Glad you mentioned this, I've flashed a few roms today and wiped my phone and changed my password - all because I couldn't log into Twitter with HTC Sense and like jedininja666 I thought my phone was broken! I'm getting a bit annoyed now! First the market stops working (download unsuccessful most of the time) and now this...
This is due to twitter changing thier authentication. Peep must used the old auth not the new one.
Read aboout it a few mins ago Twitter - Login Errors Your going to have to wait for HTC to update Peep.

Thanks for the update,I thought I was going nuts when I couldn't retrieve my tweets via peeps. Hope HTC will sort out this issue cos I get most of my tech updates via tweeter.

No problem here, I get twits thru FriendsStream widget and Peep without problem. No login errors. Using NexTSense v7.0.
I freakin' hate the Twitter Dev's for this. I'm sure it will be a while before HTC figures this out.
same problem
everything worked fine till yesterday. I did factory reset and now i am unable to log in to peep. Official client works fine, i can login through opera mobile, mobile web browser. But i want Friend Stream!
I use the official app as Peep is rubbish!!
No comments from HTC's official twitter account about this despite much angst from users.
The changes to the twitter authentication method have been public knowledge for nearly a year now and should have been dealt with before now... after all social integration is a key part of the Sense sales pitch...
The official twitter app is a poor substitute in my eyes...

How is it poor? Peep is a terrible app, HTC should've written the official app into 2.2 and done away with Peep altogether IMO. Having said that, I don't use FriendStream as I prefer to use the individual apps/widgets
+1..so terrible..twitter dev should inform HTC first before they made changes..now we users have to suffer for waiting the update from HTC!!

They did - over 6 months ago!
This is HTC's fault pure and simple.

How is Peep terrible? Well, apart from not support OAuth!
I prefer Peep too - mostly because of the widget. I've installed the official Twitter app now as Peep isn't working, but I still prefer Peep.
I rather like Touiteur too, but you only get the widgets with the paid version, and since Peep is fine for me and free, I'd rather use that.

Would it be correct to assume that you only experience this problem if you remove and readd your account, or if you are setting up a new rom ? Meaning, that until you don't log out, it stays in ???

I found that whilst I could still update Twitter via Peep, I couldn't get any updates, rendering it rather useless.

Around this time last year I was building Twitter integration into a website for client using ASP.NET and even then the Twitter developer site urged using oAuth instead of basic authentication. HTC obviously thought they wouldn't disable basic auth!

[Q] twitter app - how to show all tweets from orangehelpers

I am using twitter app at the moment but also have tried peep
i am trying to follow orangehelpers but i am only getting certain tweets through to my phone and i am assuming that that is because they are either for all users or just me
when i go to the orangehelpers page there are loads of tweets to other usres on show.
is it possible to get all of those tweets showing in my desire as i want to see all replys by orangehelpers
hope this makes sense

Problem with Facebook/FriendStream - ARHD 2.1

Morning,
Using ARHD 2.1, working brilliantly bar one small thing.. I would normally ask on the thread but it seems its a little heated in there with people desperately waiting for v3.0...
My Facebook sync doesn't seem to like syncing up any more. I tried flashing to LeeDroid 2.2.3, then tried Buzz 1.3.5 but no luck. When it does sync up, my FriendStream widget says 'no recent updates', my Handsent messaging also doesn't put Facebook names to numbers. So Im guessing the Facebook link or update function is buggy?
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?
Thanks for reading!
I think this was reported in the news recently.
Google has withdrawn its support for Facebook, this is due to Facebook being able to collect loads of data about you via a Google API. But Facebook does not allow the opposite, as no API exists.
Where I read this mentioned that it was likely only to affect the Nexus S at first, due to it having the latest Android version.
Ohh... sad times.. Thanks for reply.
