Twitter app from HTC not working

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

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

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

Facebook push notifications are not working, please help me

Actually out of every ROM I tried of Cyanogen n Villain, i dont seem to get the push feature for facebook on my phone. Though the origional app doesnt show that it supports it but on the market, in the recent changes of the app they have included push. I have the latest facebook app update installed.
In the settings, refresh interval matters. I tried on Cyanogen Mod 6.0 , 6.1. and even 7.0
But on my friend's nexus one, no matter what we set the interval, it gives him push notifications, even of wallposts. He told me that I should be getting them too but idk why Im not getting them, he even gets push for twitter, says my ROMs G2 should do that as he is using the same ROM on his nexus one. Why the hell he can get it and I cant even though they say its a feature on it
Please help me with this

Have you got Background Data enabled? I only get push notifications from the Facebook app with it enabled.

Just because the Market says there's push doesn't mean it works for all devices; I have push set up but pretty rarely get them in a timly fashion. I've tried contacting the devs but their email address is fake, instead I opted to give them a crap rating and post my issues in the Market. Eventually, they may fix things

1) Doesn't happen to me. Not a universal issue.
2) Chill out.
oh, and no one is forcing you to use the Facebook app.

Here's some cheese to go with that whine:
Fast for Facebook: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fastfacebook.com
Friendcaster: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree

1. Change your kernel governor to Interactive or Conservative.
2. Use Friendcaster. Its way better anyway.

or you can just use the facebook mobile site thru the browser.

I used friend caster way before and I didn't like it but I been hearing a lot good things about it so I ma try it out. It looks neat will see how notifications behave. Facebook app sucks on Android or iPhone idk why can't they make it right

This is a known bug. It happens on my phone every time.
- Install facebook app
- login
- exit the app
- run the app again
If you install eg. "OSMonitor" you'll see the facebook process is consuming a lot of CPU in the background.
Given their track record, they'll probably fix it in a few years.

I have another issue with Facebook. For some reason every time I try to share something it comes in some foreign language. Coincidentally started after installing flip board. I have uninstalled flipboard and also reinstalled Facebook but no resolution. Please help.

Turn off Facebook sync? works for me. My battery life is beyond awesome.

m.facebook.com bro
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

the only function I'm really interested in (contacts sync) doesn't even work with the official facebook app.

Facebook sucks up battery and network for me, in crazy ways.
If I login to facebook and leave it running, I get zero notifications, loading anything (even over 4G or wifi) takes forever, and it somehow managed to suck up 2 gigs of data in a 72 hour period (as well as using 38% of my battery?!?). Anyone have any idea why/how THAT happened?
It's an easy fix though: uninstall app, use m.facebook.com

[Q] Facebook Toubles...

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?

Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

I'm running AOKP build 40. Aerovans 10.5 kernel. Confirmed not working on the FB app and BARELY working on mobile web.

Also, I've noticed that if I don't kill the FB app it ends up sucking up 75MB of RAM and hogs the CPU

I'm running Aeroevan's cm9 with the v10 kernal. It happens with sense roms as well... I have got seesmic to work properly over 3g but i had to turn on wifi to get it to connect to Facebook initially.

Same here. CM9 aero v10.
Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol

I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

Glad it's not just me having issues, I've tried every rom I got to get the fb app to load, if I'm on 3g ill get a few kb of data to transfer, then nothing I gave up and am using friendcaster, it's running as of now

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2

OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

Facebook not updating

Facebook won't seem to update when I'm on the network. Loads fine at home on WiFi. Data is good. Ping is low, speed is high. There's been 2 Facebook updates since this problem began and I'm starting to think its the phone.... Appreciate your input. Stock ROM and kernel.

I have a similar issue, but in my case the app use a lot of data when I'm on 3G, even when is idle... Not sure what is, but this is happening to me from 2 updates before, not sure if it's still, I'll try today at night. CM 10.1 RC1 and sotck kernel from CM 10.1

I think it's the Facebook app itself. The Play Store ratings speak for itself at a very low 3.6.
My issue is that my messages or news feed never loads, and I rarely get notifications when on home Wi-Fi or on strong signal outside.

Facebook app is useless for anything but the notifications. Anything else just load the mobile site.

Guess I got my answer. Thanks everyone.

Same here, I'm not too happy with the new version of this app... I rise a ticket for Facebook, but they haven't contact me, so I guess is probably a genneral issue
