Is this v2.0.2 similar to paid version? using this apk file no need to buy anymore?

I already purchased this app but now everyone get the paid apk for free?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kUdtiHaEX:
Just as the other people here, I'm unable to use Falcon Pro anymore. Since I have paid for it, even with a lot of understanding for the problem, I think that it's a developers fault. You should have thought about it when you started with sales. Now a lot of people can't use what they have paid for and that is very very very bad.

Everyone knows or should that twitter is trying to restrict 3rd party apps, and falcon is just one of them. You can blame the dev as much as you can blame yourself for not knowing stuff like this could happen eventually.

My 2 cents? Twitter devs are out of their mind
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hopscotchjunkie:
No, it's just for people who had the app and were locked out by the latest token reset. It will only work if you already had 2.0.2 installed (and thus had a valid token for it).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
Guys, I really want to clear something up... There IS NO login problem. The issues people are having, come from two things - people who have released their token, and/or people who aren't following directions properly. I know, because I ran into an issue yesterday...

Last night, I flashed a new kernel, and it ended up wiping the app + data for many of my paid apps, including Falcon Pro, along with the corresponding Titanium Backup files. Needless to say, I was really mad, but I had to do a clean flash - for those who don't know, a clean flash wipes all the app data and caches from the phone.

After getting things set back up, I installed the Falcon Pro 2.0.2 apk. I had no problems logging in. This morning, I accidentally hit the 'donate to us' tab in Falcon settings, and was taken to the Play Store. What do you know?! I had an update! Of course, I took the update to the 2.03 version - the version that reset the tokens. I opened the app, logged back in, and I'm back to enjoying the latest version of Falcon.

So in the last two days, I've lost FP 2.0.3, installed the Falcon Pro 2.0.2 apk, and logged in. I've updated back to 2.0.3, and logged in. Starting to see the pattern here?

Now listen, because I'm only going to say this once... When you install the app and open it up, you'll be presented with a 'unable to login' message... DON'T CLOSE THE APP!! Instead, hit the 'Sign In' button in the TOP RIGHT corner. Sign into Twitter, authorize Falcon, and you're good to go.

If you still have login issues, then it's a 'you problem'... The only reason you would have login problems at this point is because you still can't follow directions (in which case, I'm not going to help you), or you've released your token. To check this, you can visit the Twitter site and look through your token list. If Falcon is there, then you *should* be able to sign in, using the directions above. If Falcon isn't in your tokens list, you're beat... You've revoked FP's access rights, and you won't be able to use the app. This is YOUR fault - you have to manually revoke tokens via the site...an app can't do it. If you deleted Falcon from your list, you're out of luck... Deal with it.

After having gone through this process first hand, I'd say that the directions I've outlined should be common sense, but I guess not.

Btw, if the directions helped you out, just hit the 'Thanks' button. No need to clutter the thread with a bunch of "this worked, thanks" responses. Good luck guys! :)

Update: I've just done this (updated to 2.03) on my A500, which I never even updated to 2.02...it was on 1.9. This works guys. ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] yomiguy:
Well said jjhiza!

On Sunday I had your same problem. I had to make a hard reset of my s3 and I lost falcon 2.0.3 that I had installed.

I was worried because I thought I should have to install version 2.0.2 that Joaquin is giving.

However I noticed I still had 2.0.3 version installed in my tab 2! So I made a backup of the apk with es explorer and installed it in my s3. I was surprised because despite I had a token of the last version when I opened it there was the message I couldn't log in due to limit... so instead of exit the app I pressed log in on the top of the screen and it worked! I recovered my last version of falcon in my s3 too.

So please, if you ever had falcon and didn't release your token follow the instructions properly and you'll enjoy it again.

I agree, I find it similar to if for example a a phone company have 100 licences and sell 101,and then the last one can't use their phone because of this restriction, who's to blame, the phone company or the government who gave 100 licences?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
The government is to blame in your example. A phone company can't be blamed for its product's demand... The blame lies squarely at the feet of the people who implement ridiculous laws and policies, in an attempt to be anticompetitive.

In fact (getting away from the metaphors), I wonder if some kind of antitrust lawsuit could be brought against Twitter, by third party app developers, on the grounds of anticompetition.

What Twitter is really trying to do is give devs 'just enough rope to hang themselves'... Meaning that they're allowing third party development, but they restrict it in such a way that eventually, all paid apps are forced into the same position Falcon is in. Twitter is trying to eliminate other apps, by letting developers eliminate themselves, essentially. I don't know a ton about business law, but I feel that what Twitter is doing may not be, strictly speaking, legal.

They make their money from advertising, promoted tweets and accounts, and shareholder investment... Third party apps don't display promoted tweets (which show up in the 'trending' topics section. Maybe Twitter feels that third party apps infringe on their ability to make money, but they are certainly infringing on developers' ability to do so.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
i was using 2.0.2 working well, did titanium backup

just now try to update to 2.0.3 from Play Store

open falcon pro, requested for re-login.

Sign In > Sorry, please try again later. This app cannot authenticate more users at this time.

Do this means I'm stuck at 2.0.2 because my last token was with 2.0.2?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
It may be a problem with your backup file. I'd suggest uninstalling Falcon, then reboot. Then download the 2.02 apk, install it manually and log in. Then use the donate link in Falcon settings, to access the 2.03 update (see my post on the last page for more information). That's what I've been doing, and it's worked on all my devices - my three daily use ones, and the two old, unused devices I have. Just so it manually, and you should be fine... I only have one account btw. I'm not sure if my method will work for multiple accounts.

And no, the tokens are not used up by the version of the app you're on. Twitter issues tokens to apps... Once you've logged in, and verified your account with Twitter ONCE, that app will retain it's token for your account, until you manually delete it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Tried again. Uninstall FP.

Install apk 2.0.2 > Sign In > Authorized

FP Setting > Extras > Item not found

Update via Play Store. Same Atthentication problem

Thanks anyway. Back to 2.0.2 using TB app & data (save time to re-setting)

From your twitter website, when was FP got approved/token?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
The 2.03 update isn't under Extras ;)

Click on that link, and it should take you to the Play Store to update. :)

I'll check on Twitter, and see when I authorized Falcon. I'm pretty sure it was several months ago. Brb...

Update: My approval of Falcon Pro access is from December 2, 2012.

I got the same issue when login with 2.0.3 but if you still have token, even if it says you're not authorize to use the app, just tap on sign in after it block you. Then input your user and pass and it will work just fine.

Not Happy

I'm not sure what's going on – can somebody let me know?

I paid for falcon pro. I can't even find it now on the play store.

And when I try to ordinate, it tells me that no more users can be authenticated. But before, I used it just fine.

What in the heck is going on.

Go back a couple of pages and read and you'll see what happened. If you look at the [MENTION=231115]falcon[/MENTION]_android account on twitter and scroll through the timeline a few days you'll also find a link to the 2.0.2 version that you can install.

I thought picture uploading bug was fixed. I still can't upload a picture from gallery. It says "falcon pro stopped".
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dsa88:
I agree that we have a problem with developer's attitude here. Lets say it loud and clear. I simply can not swallow that "sorry guys, I'm busy now and I've found a new job, have no time for you suckers anymore who were good enough to support me financially for the products I don't care or give a sh*t"

It's a perfect example how bad developer can make a great product then fu*k it up. A use of free services (twitter, google reader) turn into paid, collect enough $$$$ then abandon it, show no support, no email response etc.

Dear Joaquim, when you decided to sell your products that moment you also decided to provide support to all of your customers, not only as a code of conduct but because they paid for it.

I'm not talking only about Falcon here but ALL Joaquim's *paid* apps including Minimal reader Pro. The only thing IMHO that may clean up the whole mess would be sharing the code with other developers, allowing them to fix whats needed to be fixed, keeping the good apps in life, with obligation that any of these apps will be and remain free for all.

p.s.

You may include Minimal Twidget too, since it's abandoned in early alpha phase. Was working perfect till API 1.1 update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dsa88:
Seriously, I like his work. Bought everything that was on sale on the Play market made by this developer. Honestly, I prefer having full working app THEN making a rich donation for splendid work instead of buying app that's prepared to be abandoned. You know.. the feeling is just different. I'm saying that because timing is really critical here, cutting off both twitter and reader widgets/apps just in a several weeks, not updating twitter API to 1.1 at the time, reading this thread about Falcon issues and bailing out like this on a Reader topic:

"For the timeframe, I honestly have no idea when I'll get time for this. I'm starting a new job mid July which will probably require my full attention at least for a few months."

Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42535583&postcount=267

I didn't jump to conclusion just like that, was waiting the whole June to see what's going to happen. Yes, for the sake of the fantastic apps - let them live.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
I see what you're saying... I just don't think it's necessarily fair to say that Joaquim built his apps with the intention of abandoning them. He's always been good at keeping us in the loop, unlike a one Federico Carnales, who developed LauncherPro, and has been stringing his "customers" and potential purchasers along for well over a year. Fede and his people will still - to this day - claim that LP is being actively developed, but its clearly not... People keep buying the app, then complaining about the lack of support. Now THAT'S a great example of an app that's been left for dead.

I don't think Joaquim is doing that here. He finds himself in a really bad situation with Falcon, and it's one he can't do anything about. He can't sell the app, because new users won't be able to log in, he can't circumvent the token restrictions any more, because Twitter will sue him for breach of contract, and he can't update the app for existing users, because an update could possibly break the app's functionality. All he can do is keep us in the loop (which he's done), and then sit and wait for things to change. I DO wish he'd open source the app, so we could build it, and circumvent the token problem on our own, but that's his call... We can't make him do it, even if it would be in his best interests.

This is a crap situation for everyone - there's no doubt about that. The ONLY thing I (and many others) have a problem with is people blaming the developer for something he couldn't control, and acting like Joaquim owes all of us some kind of reparations for our "plight". He's being screwed over here, just as badly (probably worse) as we are, but the blame and outrage should be aimed at Twitter, NOT at Joaquim. Until he proves otherwise, I'll continue to be vocal about the issue, but I'll still try to be as helpful as possible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] doogald:
FWIW, I think you're both wrong. The developer provided an app and now there is nothing he can do to solve a problem caused by the service provider. Twitter announced the 100,000 token limit last year. The dev reset the tokens months ago after the first time he token limit was reached. If you weren't paying attention to that, that's your fault.

The truth is that you paid a few bucks (less than the price of a cup of coffee in many places) for an app that provided you good service for months. I'm sure that you paid less than a penny for every access to twitter that you made in all the time that you used the app. The dev provided a link to side load the 2.0.2 version; if you had a token with that, you can still use the app. Surely you received the value from the purchase by now, unless you bought the app a month ago.

Here's some advice: if you want to use twitter (or Facebook, or google+) with no worries about the service stopping for some reason, then use the (free) official apps.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
It's likely that it's either a buyout of Falcon, making it an official Twitter property, or that the app is going open source.

A buyout would probably mean the death of Falcon though, as it would be absorbed by Twitter. I can't see any scenario where Twitter would allow Falcon to continue being published though, since they clearly don't embrace the spirit of competition. A buyout would be good for Joaquim though, as it would solidify him as a top developer, and would also make him a good bit of money.

Lifting the token restrictions is a long shot at best, and if Twitter had done this, I'm 100% certain that Verge, Android Central, or some other publication, would have informed the public already. An open source project is far more likely.

It can't be another app, because that would violate Twitter's terms of service, and they've already warned Joaquim that any attempt to get around the token limit will be met with severe penalties - that could mean a revocation of his developers license, or a lawsuit, and I don't think he wants either of those headaches. In any event, the news seems somewhat promising, but my money lies with the open source solution.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alamarco:
I'm leaning towards Falcon Pro being purchased by Twitter. Joaquim doesn't seem like he wants the hassle of doing illegal activity just to continue developing Falcon Pro. So a big announcement to me is Twitter is either giving more tokens, which I find unlikely, or they are purchasing Falcon Pro.

Considering the Twitter bought their initial application, Tweetie, and kept the developer, I wouldn't be surprised if it was similar. Buy Falcon Pro and sell it as Twitter Pro. Twitter will remain free for your everyday user and Twitter Pro will be for us power users. Of course, this is more wishful thinking on my part, but seeing what happened to Tweeti first hand, I wouldn't put it past Twitter to do this.

Of course, adding a little conspiracy based on what @dsa88 said about the new job mid July. What if this new job is working for Twitter? Perfect timing for the big announcement tomorrow. Of course, some would see this as a kick in the teeth as all this recent drama basically turns into a game. Although, can one really complain when we end up getting the application in the end?

Either way, it'd be nice if it had both (Which I'm sure it will, it is only version 0.2 after all).
