Log in problem with the official Twitter app. - Windows Phone 7 General

Just wanted to find out if anyone is experiencing log in problems with the official twitter app on Windows Phone. I cant log in since 3:00 pm yesterday and it's driving me nuts. Have tried everything from reinstallation to time change etc but still not able to log in. Please help.

I think it's a common error of the host network .

fewer people using that type of mindless nonsensical BS is beneficial to society as a whole, however, so you may consider halting your attempt to login

Thanks y'all. Thought hard reset will solve the problem but still not able to login after hard reset...regret I even did it coz I've lost important lab files....oh my!

The Twitter app leaves a lot to be desired. I either use the built-in people hub or Seesmic when working with Twitter on my WP.

Agree!
That is why I would recommend Mehdoh [or our twitter client - TwiDeep]. Have heard good things about Carbon as well.

You should try out Rowi or Carbon. They are both excellent twitter client for Windows Phone.

The problem I'm facing is that, no twitter app seems to work now on my phone. They all give me twitter authorization error. Went to the site to make some changes but still. Now I think it's a general problem coz all my friends are experiencing the same thing. Contacted twitter but they are not aware of any situation. All apps that require twitter authorization are not working and I'm now frustrated. Can it be a geolocation services in my region.

Kenzibit, had this anoying problem here and what i discover is that once u signed with your Live ID and then add Twitter account from settings, this account become linked to your ID and then this error starts cause you arew already signed in twitter and then the official app understand that and cant sign u account.
What i had to do is signed first with other ID that i had that i use only for business so no contacts no Twitter,Facebook nothing linked to this account than i download Twitter and worked since. Try this.

Ok thanks but this means, I have to hard reset again because WP does not allow signing out of you live ID, not even delete although you can delete all other accounts (gmail, yahoo, outlook etc). One I have signed in with this Live ID, I can't sign out untill hard reset....something I really don't wanna do beacuse I have a lot of unbacked up files, information and settings. I have to be ready before I do this. Any suggestions before I try this step?

Kenzibit, yeah, this is really boring but believe me, tried a lot of things that couldnt resolve and only this solved. Unfortunatly. Already searched through Google and a lot of people has this problem that u cant remove a Live ID.

Wow...I went to my windows live ID and removed all associated social networks and apps and hard reset again (for the 8th time and now fear phone might start acting funny). Installed twitter app first, loged in and hurray i'm in.
Now fear if it will stop working again after adding all the removed apps and social networks. This wasn't so before why is it happening to me now.
Anyways thanks for your suggestion becuase it really worked.
All the best in what you do.

Facebook synch issue - possible solution found!!!

Log in to your Facebook profile and go into your Profile settings and enter a location in your workplace. Now try synch'ing your FB contacts on your HTC.
Worked for me and hearing reports of it working for others also.
Sorry dude, but I don't see anything that says "workplace" in my profile, are you refering to employer?
just tried this.
worked a treat for allowing the friendstream to show fbook updates.
still no synch with phonebook though

Yes.
I'd already set my employer in once before, but i deleted it earlier and re-entered it and my contacts suddenly started synch'ing again.
If only I could "like" this.

I did, as I had removed the account when it went wrong. still no phonebook synch.
I noticed when I flashed a new ROM that some facebook contacts were just missing when trying to link phone contacts to them. Others were there fine. I've since noticed that after a couple of days, some of those facebook contacts have appeared and I've successfully linked them to phone contacts. Others still aren't present. I'm presuming it's something at FB's end...
Just got this back from HTC Support..better late than never
We have been working with Facebook to determine a fix for your facebook problems. In the mean time, we have found that some customers have success when editing their work profiles on their Facebook page. If you have added a company and have checked the box next to “I currently work here,” simply add the City / Town of your office. This will allow for HTC Sense to communicate with Facebook without failing. I don’t want to reveal so much detail on my profile, is there another way? You can also delete the work information, and add it back after we have made the appropriate changes to solve this issue. What happened? There seems to have been a miscommunication between Facebook servers and your phone and that caused an inability to sync updates. Here’s the troubleshooting: Step Failure Action 1. User phone is connected to the internet. Connect phone to Wi-Fi or 3g internet 2. User has valid Facebook account Sign up for Facebook 3. User has Facebook work information. Make sure Work information has city / location, or remove Current work information. This should solve your problem.

[Q] Foursquare and FB not communicating..?!

Is anyone else having an issue with Foursquare not updating check-in's on FB?
I know this has been questioned A million times..and it's always unlink then relink your FB account from Foursquare. I'm telling you..I've tried 6 ways from Sunday to fix this damn thing.
Foursquare worked prior to rooting, yet I KNOW that has nothing to do with it..
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks!!
ya I've tried mysquare and winmosquare and neither is working
the troubleshooting page on foursquare website is hard to read.
Ah..wise guys I see. Anyway...in case anyone has a similar problem. Because HTC' Facebook for Sense is always running..you can't REALLY sign out of facebook. You can sign out on your pc, on your FB for Android but NOT for Facebook for Sense. You must force stop that app. Now you are truly logged out of FB and can re associate your Foursquare account and all is right in the world.

HTC peep

hi all
I recently noticed that my friendstream was not updating. So i logged out and tried to log back in but it is saying username/password incorrect which it is not. i have change my password and email address and it still doesnt work. Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks
Jonathan
I think I saw a thread a few days ago about this - something to do with https or something...
Sorry its a bit vague - I was using the official Twitter client more these days - but have a search in the forum - I am sure this was brought up recently
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016439&highlight=htc+peep
Yeah, seems Twitter have now changed to use HTTPS and sounds like it's knocked out Peep - Official apps works fine but HTC are going to have to update the Desire to get it working again
Yeah have no seen that its effecting a lot of people.
I have notice that HTC as released a fix for windows mobile devices. But nothing yet for android.
the WinMo fix for Peep I think was a security hole in their s/w rather than this issue if it was the one released a couple of months back.
Double-check on your Twitter account and see if you're using HTTPS - if you are see if turning it off works?
I had the exact same problem - Cannot log in!
T-Mobile customer services said it was my problem......grrrrr!
No it is your problem - please sort it!
I have had to add a bloated Twitter app....come on HTC, if you tie in these "apps" into the software - keep on top of it - OR allow us to remove the "app" as normals apps can be removed!
Rant over....for now!
i dont use it my self but they fix it
Mine works fine just logged in no problem, odd it only affects certain people.

By the time it takes T-Mobile to do anything helpful, you might as well have bought another phone!
the advice to NOT use https does not work - same issue.
HTC are at fault here for not keeping their eye on the ball (well eye on Twitter that is!)
I will forgive them when they release gingerbread shortly!
Dave
not the first time peep has been having issues.
tried reporting it to htc? they'll probably say wait for a future update.
or in the meantime try the official app

[Resolved] Twitter Apps not working - mobile site does

Hi there.
Yesterday I Chevronunlocked my HTC 7 Mozart (T-Mobile branded).
I used this xap to prevent it from re-locking, then updated to NoDo (7.0.7392)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974
After that my WP7 was still unlocked - so far so good. Today I noticed that I can not use any Twitter app on my phone anymore. All - including the official twitter app (rowi, motweet, beeez, birdsong etc.) tell me they can't authenticate. I retried multiple times with my username and email address, all to no avail. I made sure my password is correct, and I can sign in fine on the Twitter website (regular site from my PC and mobile site from my WP7).
Does anyone know what might be wrong? Or how I can fix it (without re-formating my phone)?
thanks in advance

Birdsong & Rowi have both been updated through the marketplace to fix this issue, Beezz won't work anymore unless its updated, and not sure if the official app got updated... Twitter changed its permission settings last week which broke a lot of third party apps, they all need to have a method to reauthenticate now

Actually, the only thing that was changed is Direct Messages. So if an app wasn't updated to support the new Direct Messages API, it would no longer be able to access DMs, but everything else is still the same as always and should continue to work as normal. Both rowi and Birdsong were updated to access DMs with the updated API.
I don't even see any development or updates from Beezz at all, so I completely ignore its existence.
If none of your Twitter apps are working, there could be something wrong with your setup of your phone or your installation of Windows Phone 7 is broken. Which means you may have to hard reset.
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah, I feared that a hard reset is the only way... so i'll just unbrand it while I am at it, a hard reset will relock the device, wont it? So I have to fully reflash anyways.
Thanks again, even though I have some work to do now
Not true, Rowi had many more issues pop up due to the dm permission change... I'm not sure why, but they made it clear on their twitter... I use the app, my live tile even stopped behaving properly, it wouldn't reset, just kept adding to the previous number until I got that update

WLM and Skydrive, *!Nokia Maps integration not only WP7

Thoughts
http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...id-ios-and-window/&category=mobile&postPage=1
I thought this was the biggest plus for WP7.
However the business side of me says smart move Microsoft. The user base of WP is too small to let this integration go unnoticed.

If it works like WL currently works, there's really no point. Sure, WL will do some stuff. But it just isn't as integrated as it could be to gain a lot of following.
I remember Hotmail from a long time ago...in the early 2000s...that I used extensively. Hotmail was the main online email account. I had a lot of info stored in it...lots of mails, contacts and all kinds of stuff...and MS claimed they were doing some kind of system maintenance and everything was lost. My whole account, all accumulated files, mails contacts...everything...was gone. I stopped using MS services from that point. I felt they were trying to manipulate people into paying for the non-free service.
I have a MS email account, but it isn't trusted with important stuff that I can't cope losing. It wasn't me only. A friend I know that used Hotmail suffered the same thing.
Seems to intergrate only your contacts, photos and messenger (no office, music and other things stored on skydrive), it also would be restricted to an app not the same as it being intergrated into the phone.

whoa.... He didn't say anything about Gmail or gogle services in that post. Relax. He had a bad experience and holds a grudge

in other threads he has. he would always tot that his Gmail would instantly sync his contact info while windows live wouldn't ni matter if he edited it or not. I haven't had such an issue on my hotmail account but u can kinda see the undertone that was hinting that Gmail would handle this better.

Nokia Maps has simply made their mobile maps site compatible with Android and iOS browsers, that is all. So yes, its not anything earth shattering, but Nokia Maps are simply now compatible with their browsers. We're expecting much deeper app-based and possibly even OS-level integration with Windows Phone, so it'll be a different experience with Windows Phone.
Also, the Windows Live integration on other platforms is only an API. Someone still has to build these apps for them, so they aren't available yet till someone makes an app, Microsoft is simply opening up Windows Live to be more accessible on other platforms. You still get top-notch integration with a Windows Phone 7 device.

there was no mention, or undertone of gmail in the entire thread, until you did. giving a persons personal experience isn't being a fanboy, or depreciating another service.
where did you pull that out of. anyway ?
hotmail account since 200x, but changed to omg-alternate-service and enjoy it.
I haven't really looked into it much but this sounds like a good idea. If the right tools/apps are developed, it can allow for a seamless experience no matter what devices you're using. Moving from one platform to another won't require a change of services. The SkyDrive stuff should be interesting, could allow it to become a better alternative to other cloud storage services.
Although all that could be completely wrong as I really didn't read the blog post. It just sounds like a good idea
I have had a Hotmail account since I beta tested the MSN Internet service in the mid 90s. My Hotmail is @msn.com. I have never had an issue with lost data that I didn't cause myself. Besides, now you can use the Outlook connector and store a copy of all your mail, contacts, and calendars locally.
I also find it rather foolish to dwell on the past. Things change so rapidly that holding a 10 year old grudge against one company could mean missing out on something really great. I have issues with Apple, Google, and Microsoft. I also have devices based on all three OSs. They all have good and bad points but I am willing to overlook the bad for the most part.
What I will not do is walk around with blinders on, thinking that any one of these systems are supremely better than the other. This simply isn't true. Nothing can be all things to all people.
I think the WLM integration is a positive change, and shows that Microsoft is learning from past mistakes.
One of these mistakes being the limitations on Zune pass availability. If they'd made Zune pass widespread I'm not sure people would care today about Spotify reaching the US.

If I noticed correctly, it's the exact same integration available on our WP7 IE9, isn't it? I tried accessing the Nokia Maps site with my Focus, and it seems to work fine. I have not tried with my Android yet, so don't know if there's a difference.

Android and iOS display a more 'mobile' optimized version of the site. I've only been able to view the full Nokia Maps website on Mango (which works just great as well).
I like Hotmail but honestly it's the only service I used which has constant problems with showing embedded pictures in emails. Refusing to show them actually. On Wp7 it happened in 30% of cases. Also problems with attachements. For me Hotmail is not reliable but I wonder if it has anything to do with my location - Poland.

That's my point/question, is WP losing the little exclusives it has?
Nokia is supposed to save WP with its map service, but Nokia is making its service for everyone.
WLM and Skydrive is going the same route.
Netflix is on all the major players.
What's left Zune pass and the metro UI?
