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!!

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.

Dave
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!
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!
Mistaken post. Conversation has moved to figuring out Twitter integration in the latest mango release.
But Twitter contacts DO integrate with people. What are you talking about?
You're telling me you can link a twitter handle to a person in your people hub? And then pin that tile to the start screen and see their facebook and twitter updates?
I am not certain whether tweets show on the tile or not, but yes you can link them.
Twitter contacts only show up if you hit the search button on your contact list or on the list that shows up when you hit link>choose a contact.
Give it a try.
No luck. Maybe I missed a setting somewhere. Can you post a screenshot showing them linked?

Same here. Can't find any contacts.
Twiter integration is not in mango beta 7661.

Can't do screenshots in Mango to my knowledge, but here.
I'm not using 7661, I updated to the latest beta this morning. And that is very cool, hopefully it gets worked out on my end. To your knowledge, can you pin a contact to the start screen and see their tweets? Do mentions show on your Me tile?
A much easier way to integrate...
go to settings > applications > People > filter my contact list > check twitter.
there you go. you've got twittered. ;-) then you can go around linking like normal (in case it's needed.)
Unfortunately I've done that and still no luck =)
I wonder if it's a location- based thing. I read somewhere (on Twitter I believe) that it is against Twitter's ToS somehow to integrate the contacts with one's phone. So maybe the ToS vary by region? Worth looking into. I'm unable to see my Twitter contacts and I'm in the UK.
Another possibility: something is wrong with the integration. I have also seen people logging into live.com and managing the twitter integration from there; if I try that, my Facebook shows up but twitter is nowhere to be seen...

I'm beginning to think it has to do with the frequency of tweets and whether or not you've replied to one of their tweets from the phone..
I can see a re-tweet from last week that one of my friends did, but I can't find her twitter contact to link.. I have a co-worker I've been tweeting back and forth with and testing things and he shows up.. everyone showing up has tweeted something since I started following them.

Possibly. WithinRafael tweeted earlier today;
Curious why Twitter isn't integrated with #wp7 Contacts? Blame Twitter. (It's against their ToS/AUP)

Here in Australia, I have people's tweets showing in 'What's New', but they're not people. Twitter is selected in 'Filter my Contacts'. I'm also wondering if it's because I'm too popular
I currently have ~7,200 followers and follow ~3,000 people... maybe it's smart enough to ignore them all?
He later clarified that he was talking about it from an API perspective.
It is possible to link people you are following to your existing contacts.. I've done it.. but if I follow a new person, it doesn't seem to update automatically..
edit -
I deleted my twitter account from the phone and re-linked it to windows live by adding it to the phone again.. after it finished, I had the new person I had followed in my contact list.
Hopefully this is a glitch in this version and is fixed in RTM..
I live in the US and I have Twitter setup on my WP7, and there is no way to link anything to a contact... I just tried removing and the Twitter account and setting it up again, nothing... hmm.
same here, I have some twitter integration, but no twitter contacts; no linkedin contacts either

I can confirm that mentions show up on the Me tile. Not sure about pinned contacts, but I suspect those work too.
Yes, recent tweets show up on the live tile if you pin one to the start screen.
Hopefully Microsoft gets this sorted out before the mango update goes out to customers and new devices are sold.. it should work consistently and easily.. which it does not now.

Ok yeah just tested this. Works with both individual pinned contacts and pinned contact groups.
Bought this phone after loosing my Optimus 3D, loving it.
Few issues to sort out, one is why is the no info/updates at all from facebook in friend stream. Under the contacts tab I only get Twitter updates. Yet when clicking on the photos tab all their facebook albums come up. Also in the lock screen friend strream again only Twitter.
Any help appreciated.
P.s. anyway to have google + updates in friend stream?

Isn't it there already?
I'm not with my phone, so can't check - however, i know the friend stream widget 'definitely' shows both Facebook & Twitter posts.
Edit: I've just checked the friend stream app too, it shows both Facebook and twitter.

Make sure its set to All Networks at the top of the friend stream app.
Make sure you have the Facebook live feed sync enabled in auto-sync.

Simple, you will have a lot more twitter feeds than Facebook so the twitter feeds are basically over crowding Facebook! I had this problem so I just switched twitter off

Hello, everyone.
HTC M8 is my fourth HTC device. When I log on to Facebook app and enable it in Services & Apps in BlinkFeed, I still do not see any content from Facebook. I get content from LinkedIn and others fine on BlinkFeed, but not Facebook.
I have done almost everything I could do and followed everything I could find on Google, but no luck. I thought it was BlinkFeed problem, but my friends don't have this problem. I had the same issue on M8 EYE.
I wrote a mail to HTC as well as Facebook, but they too were not able to resolve the problem. I didn't even get a reply from Facebook.
Finally, I thought there might be a problem with my Facebook account. I have now asked Facebook to delete my account completely. I have 12 days before my account gets completely erased. I hope somebody might be able to help me here.
Thanks.
I have the same problem

You guys aren't alone, I to have the same issue. I've had some success at remedying the problem by creating a new fb account. Even this is flaky as only a few feeds are updated. My original fb account still won't play nicely With BlinkFeed and still has no content.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
me too,i have this issue .
Yep, same problem here.
And it's being going on for quite a while!! Facebook not updating in Blinkfeed.
---
I'm not generally a big fan of Facebook; I only use it because some close family members are on it...
This problem, I'm sure, lies with the Facebook app itself, and not with Blinkfeed... since the Twitter app, Google Plus app and the Tumblr app, all update successfully in Blinkfeed on my M8, as well as sundry custom search feeds.
Further, and aside from Blinkfeed, the Facebook app notifications are very hit and miss for me, not just on my M8, but on all my Android devices. Some notifications are delivered... most, however, are not.
---
Anyhow, given my scarce usage of Facebook, I've decided to uninstall it from my M8.... (it's also an incredible space hog, consuming 158Mb of internal storage)... and just keep apprised of family events via Facebook on Chrome.
Aside from freeing up 158Mb of internal storage, my M8 now **feels** more responsive.
And, certainly, manually updating Blinkfeed by 'pulling down' now just takes a second or two... instead of the good half-minute it used to, whilst waiting for Facebook to get it's 'skates on'... And which of course, it rarely (if ever), it actually does.
---
I suspect at some point, Blinkfeed just 'times out' waiting for Facebook to deliver content, and then moves on to whatever else is in your Blinkfeed 'feed' .
---
My M8 isn't rooted, and I don't have any immediate plans to root it... But it might be an interesting exercise, for those who are rooted, to examine a Logcat output, whilst Blinkfeed is attempting to 'read' Facebook content, in order to ascertain some sense of what is going on behind the scenes, so to speak.
In the meantime, and until Facebook fixes this problem with their app, there's probably not much that can be done, unfortunately.
Well, that's my view anyway.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Go to the phone's (not Blinkfeed) Settings>Accounts & sync, and make sure Facebook is listed there (add it, if it isn't) and synching properly. I think Blinkfeed accesses FB directly, and not through the FB app.
In fact, if you look through your apps, you will see there is a "Facebook for HTC Sense" as well as "Facebook" (if you installed it from the Play Store).
For that matter, maybe try to clear cache or clear data for the "Facebook for HTC Sense" if the above suggestions don't solve the issue.
Mine started to show Facebook posts about a day after I loged in. All of a sudden blinkfeed was full of Facebook I had to disable it.
Thanks for the reply
Hi Redpoint,
Thanks for your reply. There is one other problem with it. There is no "Facebook for HTC Sense". It used to be on all my previous HTC devices. But it just isn't there now. That's what I thought the problem was. Can anybody please confirm it?

Hi, blinkash...
There is a 'Facebook for HTC Sense' app on my M8... running unrooted & unmodified stock Lollipop 5.0.1.
But you won't find it in the app drawer.
It's in the SETTINGS>>APPS>>ALL tab.
(See the first screenshot below.)
The actual APK/app is located in /system/priv-app/Facebook.
(See the second screenshot below.)
As you can see, it's pretty small, clocking in at just 2.4Mb.
---
I would really like to report that clearing it's data and/or cache resolves the Blinkfeed/Facebook update problem... Sadly, however, it does not... At least it doesn't for me.
---
As far as I can work out, all that 'Facebook for HTC Sense' does is provide a 'hook/entry' and an authorisation point for the official Facebook app to deliver Facebook content to Blinkfeed.
(See the third and fourth screenshot below.)
And sadly, and as others have commented on this thread, this mechanism is not quite working the way it should.
Rgrds,
Ged.
I'm in same boat as you guys. M8 and changed a couple or roms and nothing fixed the problem.
