Twitter app from HTC not working - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. i just notice how the twitter app no longer works on both stock 2.1 roms and all the cooked 2.2 roms such as LeeDroid and i think i know why.
i just got an email stating twitter will now use Oauth to authenticate your credentials so im guessing HTC apps dont use Oauth yet

htc comment on Twitter:
We know that Peep/Friend Stream are not working for some, and we apologize. Please bear with us while our developers are investigating.

its due to twitter now using OAuth
http://androinica.com/2010/08/31/htc-peepfriendstream-down-because-of-oauth/

It's indeed due to Twitter now using OAuth, but come on HTC, Twitter has been announcing this change (for the better) since well before the Desire was even launched!

Yeah! +1 working here.

Ahh yes, its working here as well so twitter make exception OAuth for Peeps?
Thx for you guys to point this.. Google everyday for Peep updates with no hope
from my Desire + XDA App

If you didn't update, Twitter apparently makes an exception for HTC Peep. Nice for the users, bad in general imo. This cuts HTC too much slack to actually update their apps

Re: Twitter App from HTC not working
Is there somesort of an update that I can download somewhere to make this work? I have been trying for the past few days to make thsi work, and I understand that there are problems.
But how are some people able to get there's working? Can't seem t get an answer from HTC other than that they are working on it.

I had problem as well. But logged into the twitter widget and was able to see the tweets in friend stream again. I did also log into the twitter app to see if it would work but nothing showed in friendsyream just in the app. But try the twitter widget and see how ya go.

HTC/Twitter has fixed the issue on there end, and there is no need for an update. Not sure the specifics, but I had a retweet from a friend this morning from HTC that said everything should be working.. Tried out my Twitter for HTC Sense, and it logged in first try. Havent had anymore issues since.

yes, twitter app is working fine again...
had 3 devices, all made problems, now all are working fine again

HTC Desire + Hotmail

hey guys,
Apparently, since all of us stock Telus Desire owners are on 2.1, there is a problem with HTC Mail connecting to Hotmail through exchange (m.hotmail.com). Not sure if Telus is planning on fixing this when 2.2 is out (if ever, tabernac).. But what have some of you guys done to get this to work in the interm?
Some people were able to switch to Android mail which apprently works.. How do you get that exactly? I'm new to Android and still finding my way around..
Other people have tried third party software like K-9 and what not, apparently they work too.
Any feedback would be great!
anyone? this is really stressing me out..
I have my gmail account pick up my hotmail emails and use the gmail app (which uses IMAP).
otherwise, is there a problem with using the mail app and pop3 rather than exchange?
I would tell you exactly how I set it up, but I lost the friggen thing a week ago. New one on its way *thanks insurance*
with pop3, u wont be able to see the other folders or synch your emails to your mobile (ie, if u delete an email on mobile, it wont in your inbox..)
Use gmail its pretty good but sometimes 3rd party apps are good too.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It doesnt really help when someone says they want to use hotmail then the solution you're proposing is to use gmail.. :\
I'm not telling use gmail, I said it was good but if you really wanna use Hotmail just get a 3rd party app.

Install IMPROVED EMAIL from the Market. Works brilliantly.

Cant find improved email in the market.. is it because I'm still running 2.1 and that is a 2.2 app?
I thought 2.2 resolves the hotmail issue anyways without having to make any changes?

Just Rooted My Desire Now Running Oxygen ROM

Had my HTC Desire for around 6 months now always wanted to root it but never had a real need for it, Then last night i thought sod it go for it rooted it with unrevoked would't work through windows but worked 1st time on linux
Im now running the latest oxygen rom it's alot quicker and better on battery life. Only problem is that i know to is facebook does not push notification it only picks them up when i manually run the app, is this normal for this rom? does it auto kill processes to keep speed up and battery usage down?
I have also updated the radio to 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
never seems to drop below 3g at the moment (only tested for a few hours) i get HSDPA 80% of the time were i live
Speed Test Results
557kbps Download
333kbps Upload
alot better then before were i got around 240kbps down and 190-220kbps upload
Grate forum you have here don't think it would have been possible to root my Desire without it, So many thanks to all the developers and forum users
PS Brought the XDA Premium App
AFAIK there are no push notifications in the FB app.
Also ensure that you have "WIFI" always on ticked to ensure wifi doesn't go to sleep.
Yep, as said I've never seen any push notifications on the Desire in any version of Android. I'm running the MoDaCo 2.3.3 (GRI54) ROM and still don't get any
Sorry I think I have put it wrong I mean I get no notifications from the Facebook app twitter app is ok though
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Read above...
Facebook app has no notifications on android. You only get notified once you open it. Not sure about FB chat though...
I got them before is that because I was running HTC sense also in Facebook app its got refresh times bit confused lol

HTC Sense will give Facebook notifications, but Oxygen, or any other AOSP ROM will not, as it is not 'part' of the OS.
The refresh setting in the Facebook app refers to how often it will update the feed.You can still be notified of Facebook messages, wall posts, etc., through Gmail.
O right that's cool just didn't know if I had a problem that was all

Facebook notifications

Hi folks,
Got the problem above, used to work fine but the notifications don't show anymore... Already logged out, uninstalled and installed updates, cleared cache and also tried the Blackberry workaround... Still no luck...
Any suggestions or ideas I can get the notifications work?
My girlfriend has got the same phone and hers is working fine..

Check that Google Talk connects to the Google Servers - you don't need to use it - but all push notifications will stop if Google Talk cannot connect to the Google Servers.

Hmmm... Now that could be a possibility, how do I check that?
I did notice google talk with contacts showing offline when they are actually online

I removed the permissions on facebook (the website) for sense and deleted all data for all 3 friendstream apps, after a while I got one message, unfortunately it was the last messege I had already recieved. I really believe it's a serverside issue. I have seen this before, also with other 3rd party FB widget....

To rule out a push notification (C2DM) issue - you need another app that uses Push Notifications - like Twitter or something.
Got Twitter and that doesn't give any notifications either...
Do you think factory reset will help? Don't want to go through that do formatting, installing apps etc for nothing..

OK - so try the following:
Open Google Talk - Sign Out. Sign back in.
Check Android Settings > Accounts & Sync to see if there is a problem with the Sync service.
Check Auto Sync is switched on - and try toggling it off and back on.
Reboot the phone.
For info - I am getting Tweets and Facebook notifications fine here - so there is nothing wrong with either service.
Check the links above, you might receive some types of notifications but all, it's a confirmed server side error
Ah well guess I'm gonna need to wait till the next update is out...
What I don't understand how my girlfriends phone (which s exactly the same as mine) is working fine with all notifications

I don't know, really....if you check their bug tacker it could be all sorts of issue where messages made from certain apps don't trigger notifications, there are many different types of notifications, some migh work, some might not. I got using facebook via mobile apps (htc, samsung other 3rd party apps)since 2010 and it just happened a few times before and then after a while it will start working again.
If you want it working use the official facebook app, it usually keeps working until the problems are fixed. If you have cleared the data for friendstream and facebook, removed the right of the friendstream app and started over there is nothing more you can do
I am using the official facebook app (came with the phone) and never used friend stream or tweetdeck..
I have done a factory reset and also disabled friendstream but still no notification... Rage !!

This is crazy because my phone I receive notifications from Facebook app and the twitter app it didn't when I got the phone but I disabled all notifications in app and then enabled them
I started to get them I get message notifications and post notifications not had issue since
So this can't be just down to servers its like the phone is refusing them nothing much else I can suggest lol

HTC 10 No longer scapes Facebook for contacts

Title says it all really, I had to install the social media.apk just to get facebook in blinkfeed
This seems like a huge step backwards I assume I'm missing something
Any info on this would be much appreciated
Probably part of the debloat. I use Sync.ME for the same features though.
I don't know if it did for the M8 or M9 either did it?

Do you know which apk controlled that? Just checked both devices and neither has Facebook contacts so it may be something I removed on the custom ROM.
I thought Facebook themselves killed that functionality a long time ago.
Hasn't worked on Samsung devices for a while. I'm wondering if it isn't a FB thing.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
What the 10 doesn't have and I find a little odd is no Blinkfeed integration!
So it comes with Facebook and Messenger stubs but no Blinkfeed plugin.
It doesn't come with Twitter, but does come with a Twitter blinkfeed extension
It doesn't come with Google+, but does does come with a Google+ blinkfeed extension
;p

I think at some point that was a Facebook feature that they killed off sadly.
Sync.me is a great tool for doing it tho!
My T-Mobile M8 did Facebook contact sync. I eventually reflashed to AT&T and lost that functionality. Later reflashed to the unlocked version and it was missing from that version by that time as well.
Just tried sync.me, wow it fixes what I've been missing for so long. How could I not have tried this app. I've tried so many others with no luck this works great thanks everyone

Yes but as far as I know sync.me only links facebook contact picture to contacts and no other information and it doesn't link the contact to their facebook page
Yes Facebook killed that feature. What worked for me on my M8, was to google facebook apk version 27(I may have the apk in dropbox). That version had the sync contact setting. Once you did this your contacts will be back and then you can update back to the latest fb apk.

This is the method for syncing fb contacts if you dont wish to install other apps. facebook removed the contact sync from the app a while ago and an old app is needed to sync them them updating the app is possible.

Nothing to do with HTC, it was Facebook who discontinued the feature unfortunately. Use Sync.ME.

I tried installing the older Facebook app and keep getting an "app not installed" error. Could it be because of the Facebook app already loaded on the device...even though it's not the full app?
