I just upgraded to V0.30 and it generated an error on launch and I feel way dumb here; but it is sitting in the default outlook folder's outbox that isn't set up on my phone becuase I use a IMAP connection for my e-mail. (I thought that was my default mailbox, shows you what I know) For the life of me I can't figure out how to move the message to that account and send it.

Life was so mush easier when we all used elm :)

OK outsmarted the damn thing, hope it is helpful. soft resetting and trying again.

crashed on launch again after soft reset
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
Looks like it's having trouble loading a cached avatar. Can you delete the ArtCache folder from the Program folder and try again?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daitienshi:
Just tried this out for the first time today and loving it!

One suggestion would be to have a setting to adjust how frequently it updates.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
Thank you. Even though it's not in the UI, you can adjust the frequency by editing the app.config file in the program folder. I believe it is currently set to 90000 milliseconds.

I do plan to add it to the UI sometime, but keep getting distracted.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chuque:
installed 0.31 max tweet set to 50 all avatars off memory usage 1.95. This has become an amazing app. I didn't even notice the minimize button on the right menu. I can't think of a single feature that I would want added.... hell I may start turning off sms updates all together now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
Glad you like that feature. I did improve memory management WITH avatars too. It'll aggressively clear the memory buffer containing avatar images by removing any (from memory, not disk) that haven't been drawn on screen in the last 15 seconds.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chuque:
Nice, not saying that 2 megs is some magic mark, just try to keep things in check so I don't lock up the phone. ... I need my phone to work all the time.

Ohh just thought of a feature may already be there, is there some command line switch to launch it minimized so I can put it in the start up folder?

Also this may be an issue with Opera as I haven't tested it, but when I click on a link in Pocketwit and opera launches it closes out all other running tasks, not just Pocketwit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
The cli switch isn't a bad idea, but it might be tricky. I'll look into it though.

I'm pretty sure Opera's (or it's memory usage) is killing it all off. With PocketIE as the default browser nothing is closed, including PockeTwit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
It's now reached version .48 and is working grand, its also basically skinnable so you can change colours to suit the rest of your settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boiker:
Thought this thread deserved an update/bump.

The app has been updated to v.52 and can be downloaded at http://code.google.com/p/pocketwit/

It runs fairly lean (under 3mb) and is much improved from the earlier versions. My biggest issue is the notifications. It is supposed to be able to produce an audio notification when a new friend update or message arrives, however that function doesn't seem to work on my mogul. The pop-up notification does work.

Of all the twitter apps, this is by far my favorite.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
Thanks for the bump. I'd kinda decided that most the folks around here didn't really care for twitter.

I'm looking into the audio issue. It's wierd, the audio works fine in the emulator, just doesn't work at all on my mogul either. Thanks for the reminder.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
One other note: v.52 sometimes crashes on startup for VGA users. I've got a fix planed for v.53, but a soft-reset usually solves the problem for now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hakeemm:
nice app! thanks! the perfect twitter client for me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ahouse:
Hy this app is far the best of what I've seen. I have a samsung i780 with 320x320 display res. and it works great, but I was wondering, how could I get my GPS coordinates to the status update. It's clear, that I have to activate the GPS from the settings, and when I tap on "set status" i see that GPS is activatig, but when I send the message it won't insert the coordinats. Could someone help me please?

Sorry for my bad english! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ahouse:
After some minutes I saw the location in my profile, I guess that's why it doesn't show up on the status update. Is it possible to insert the coordinats in a google maps link to the twitt?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Nothing to do with Pocketwit but to put a GPS location to your Twitter timeline I use GPSTwit, adds a link to GoogleMaps showing every point you have checked in from.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ahouse:
Thanks for the information, I'll try it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tak.japan:
I've been using pocketwit for couple of weeks, and I love the interface!!

Quick question though, is there anyway for it to use cell tower GPS like google maps and live search?? I found it hard to use inside. I know it's extremely small thing, but this functionality would be a killer for me,...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
It might be possible, but I have no idea how to do it. I'm just using MS's code to query the GPS intermediate driver. If there's a free and open source library to use other methods, I'll look into including it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lyndel4:
poketwit is that you? Glade to see you updated your application I just love your version 60 and the GPS Support is so cool :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
Yes. I have entirely too many aliases to keep up with :/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lyndel4:
Nice to see you here PocketwitDev :D its me Kenshin you working on a new update? whats in your Road Map? if its ok to tell it Keep up the Good work :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kevinwilson:
I'm finding PockeTwit really good, but I've just got a small feature request which I hope you might be able to consider.

Would it be possible to have an option where once the location has been grabbed from the GPS, it is transparently posted to a custom URL, instead of (or maybe in addition to) updating the Twitter profile? The URL would be something like:

http://www.myserver.com/myscript.php?lat=****&lon=****deviceid=****

The reason for this is that I've written a PHP script which grabs some extra information about my location before updating the Twitter profile with it.

Anyway, thanks for the great work so far.

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
kevin,

That would certainly be possible to do, but since it's not hitting a public web service that everyone would use, I don't really want to include an option for one user out of a thousand.

But the good news is that it's completely open source and I'd be glad to point you in the right direction for how to add for yourself.

Or, what other information are you grabbing? Maybe it'd be worth it to make PockeTwit perform that functionality itself before updating the location.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
Do you have a copy of that cab "GPSTwit"? Cannot find it anywhere??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
Also, the latest version of PockeTwit (v.62) does allow you to post a URL to a Google Map showing your current GPS position.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kevinwilson:
I saw that when I last upgraded, and I have been finding it useful.

I didn't realise it was open source! I'll download the code and see if I can add it myself. If you could point me towards where I should be looking, though, that would certainly help :)

I'm mainly grabbing the name of the place, so it can be displayed as "Bloomsbury, London (UK)", for example. I also grab some other information about nearby places and Flickr photos, to display on my web page.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
The "PostTheUpdate()" method of the PostUpdate.cs is what sends the latest update to twitter.

In there it checks to see if GPSLocation is not null. That's where you'll want to put your code that contacts your PHP page.

I've already got code that reverse geocodes lat/longitude, I'm just not using that to put in the profile currently. Maybe I'll try to do something along those lines.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Looks like they have discontinued it's development for a while, here's a link to my copy on ADrive
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kevinwilson:
Thanks for the info. I'll see how I get on with that!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugs88:
Okay. First off, I want to thank you for this app. Of all the ones out there this is the only one I can get to do finger scrolling. It's also the most beautiful; I use your black and green theme (I suspect I'm one of a very few). It has nice, easy links to URLs. AND, I notice the new Firefox for mobile alpha (Fennec?) uses the same right and left slide to get to menu items. It's so unique I wonder if you're involved, and if not, those guys owe you a debt of gratitude.

Here's the thing though. Occasionally when I start it up it tells me I don't have enough graphics memory, and I should close some other apps or reboot. Generally I try closing anything else I have open, but this never works - to open PockeTwit I'll have to reboot. Now, I'm on a Blackstone, running the regular TF3D and no special graphics hogs that I know of, and I show at least 85MB of memory at all times. So I'm confused why this happens. Any thoughts?

Aside from that it's about my favourite app of all. So good work and hope to hear from you (or any of the other leading lights around here that might have a solution).

Peace.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
Thanks for the compliments. But a video demo of the side-scrolling concept for Fennec came out before PockeTwit and inspired me, rather than the other way around. Still, I DID get it out there first :)

The error specifically mentions "graphics memory", which has very little to do with your 85M of program memory. Due to a quirk of the windows mobile architecture, the device may only have 32M of bitmap data declared at once between all applications running on the device. This memory is all assigned to the process "gwes.exe".If you run a process viewer, you should be able to see this running on your device AND see how much graphics memory is being used.

PockeTwit tries to create a large bitmap in memory as a "buffer" for rendering as many items as it can to provide the smooth scrolling experience. First it tries to create a bitmap buffer large enough for 50 items. If that fails, it will lower the number by 5 and try again until it finds something that will fit. If it gets down to 5 items (just one more than will fit on a typical screen), it throws the error you are getting.

So if you keep an eye on the memory usage of gwes.exe, you should be able to predict when this is going to happen. If you see any particular pattern of usage, I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks again. I hope this clears up some of your confusion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugs88:
huh. that seems pretty insoluble short of a reboot. as I mentioned, my first course of action is always to close everything else (except TF3D, which admittedly is like nine gigs of graphics to start with just by itself), and to try again. never works, but I try anyway.

if i'm getting you, gwes.exe increases and decreases in size depending on what the current graphics demand is. but if nothing's open and gwes.exe isn't contracting, then i wonder if there might be some workaround like, oh, clicking on the file and restarting it, or terminating it and restarting it. probably crash the system, but maybe worth a try.

is there any way to reduce the graphics load of PockeTwit? are some of the skins smaller? if not, in the next version could you stick in a super-economy-version skin for the bloated amongst us?

I find it astonishing that no one besides you has enabled scrolling in their Twitter app, by the way.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
gwes.exe SHOULD shrink as apps are closed. If it's not, that's because one of the offending applications isn't releasing it's resources properly. That's a pretty easy mistake to make, and I wouldn't even be surprised if PockeTwit does it in some situations too.

I've toyed with making a "lite" version of PockeTwit that doesn't do the fancy scrolling and side menus, but that's a lot of work to remove the nicest thing about the application, so I'm not really in a hurry to do that.

I'm still toying with ways to improve rendering-- I'm still learning about Windows Mobile's graphics systems. Apparently you can create "Device Independant Bitmaps" in your own process space's memory, but they are a bit slower to work with. But if that's possible, it might help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bruceo:
Very nice twitter app, the slickest and most feature rich I have found so far. One annoyance i have is when clicking a url and the submenu comes up with detailed view/URL/close menu, when I click the url I then have to put pockettwit to the background so that mortscript will run JZ mortscript and mortbutton to give me the option of which browser I want to view the URL in. This takes about 2-3 seconds. The mortbuttons menu will eventualy come up after a minute or so but will be the normal 2-3 secs if I put pocketwit to the background.

All other urls in email and other programs will bring it up in 2-3 secs with Pocketwit the only one to have this problem. Any idea what might cause this? Alltel Touch Pro running MightyRom 4.12 Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
When pocketwit launches a URL, it simply tells the operating system to handle "http://whatever.com" -- it doesn't specify how in any way.

I'm unfamiliar with mortbuttons or the mortscript menu you're talking about, so I can't say for sure what would be causing your issue.

The only thing that comes to mind is the possibility you are using a version older than v.67. Before v.67 there was a bug allowed PockeTwit to redraw it's interface on screen changes even when running in the background.

If that's not the problem, I'm not sure what is. I'd have to figure out how to recreate your whole mortscript setup and debug it myself.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bruceo:
I am using the latest JZsmartMort http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=382043

and latest mortbuttons 2.62 http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=mb_overview&action=view&menu=14

Very easy to configure and seems essential to me i.e. when you click a URL you typically know if it is text, flash or photo so when the menu comes up you can pick skyfire for flash, Opera mini for text or Opera mobile for photos since those are the strengths of those browsers and you can choose from any other brower installed as well.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kyusaku:
I just started using Twitter and using this program to get me tweeting on my mobile. I'm probably gonna switch though. I really like the interface, but it's crashed on me at least 5 times in the first day I've used it. I'm on a Treo 700wx WM6.1 by NightRaven.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcLandis:
Hi,

Sorry to hear that PockeTwit crashes for you.

PockeTwit has a build in error reporting function. Please use it so we can find the root cause for the crash.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Excellent program. I just installed the latest v74, but I am having one issue: I can't seem to get the avatars to display. Yes, I've tried checking and unchecking the "Show Avatars" and "High-Quality Avatars" checkboxes and clearing the Avatar cache. Nothing I do seems to get them to display ... I just see the default Twitter avatar.

Although ... I do see the Woot avatar, it's my other "friends" avatars I don't see. Anyone got any thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcLandis:
PockeTwit uses a picture of a question mark until the avatar is downloaded.

What do you see the question mark or the brown "o_O" picture?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Good point ... I'm seeing the brown "o_O" picture, not the question mark. Both of the people on my "friends" list (which includes myself) added avatars after I had already downloaded some tweets that were posted. But we've both uploaded avatars now ... and I see the avatars in the twitter.com site ... and even now on my Twitter Trillian plugin.

I actually thought I had seen my avatar in PockeTwit once ... but only with 1 or 2 tweets. But now I can't see them at all again.

How can I get PockeTwit to reload the current avatars? I've tried deleting the cache through the menu option ... and I looked for an "ArtCache" folder as I saw in another post ... but it's not there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
The current release of PockeTwit has a bug that doesn't allow it to update avatars after it's fetched them once. This will be addressed in the next release.

In the meanwhile, you can clear the cache completely by deleting LocalCache.db. This will remove all cached statuses, users, and avatars. Unfortunately it will also remove any User Groups you've defined in PockeTwit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
Cool ... thanks for the responses guys. I was just making sure I wasn't crazy (or missing something). I'll try what you suggest ... don't have many groups anyways.

BTW, I love the interface! Very slick ... I wish all my apps worked like this one. Great job.

-- Edit --

It worked ... once again, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
New issue ... I've received some Direct Messages, and I see them on the Twitter website ... but I'm not seeing them in the PockeTwit "Messages" screen. Isn't this where they should be? Or am I doing something wrong?

-- EDIT --

Never mind ... it seems to have started working. I now see friend tweets that reference me, as well as direct messages. Cool!

pocketwit problems with bsb k diamond rom

i like the pocketwit appl a lot, but it does not run on the wm 6.5 bsb rom

tried everything to get it up and running, Hmmm

now use ctwit and i dont like it at all

what to do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
PockeTwit does not currently work with the leaked version of CF.NET 3.7. I'm still investigating the issue, but can't get anything "official" yet. All I can see is that the XMLSerializer is failing for some unknown reason.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] michd43:
I have a touch pro and a touch vogue both running wm 6.5 roms and it's still working? What rom are you using? Is your rom using NET 3.7? If so thats the problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] michd43:
Hope you can figure it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] refthemc:
Thanks for being so quick about it, your awesome
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joeykrim:
amazing!

I think this is an amazing program. Because of this program, I've actually started using my twitter account! Its great! I'm using WM 6.1 stock on a Sprint Touch Pro and can't select an image to have in my post or get the GPS function to work, but everything else is amazing. I especially like the scrolling interface! The memory usage is quite high on my cell for this program too, but so far it has been worth it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GreenLantern:
I've been using PockeTwit for a good while now, but have recently found that the pictures that are pulled up on my touch pro/fuze, are much blurry-ier then they are if I pull them up though a webpage (on the same device).

Can anyone else confirm that? Trying to find a good client with good pic integration...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcLandis:
The pictures shown are thumbnails. You can choose if they should be streched to fit in the view menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GreenLantern:
I'm not sure what version you're using. I have .76 installed right now, and went through most of the menus, did I just not see it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyc0642:
Dromio I love this client. It's the best by far on my custom 6.5 ROM, and that includes the likes of Twikini which is a paid client. Just wanted to say thanks for making a client that doesn't suck, for free. You are a gentleman and a scholar.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcLandis:
The menu I am referring to is the right one when you are previewing a picture.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] |Blitzkrieg|:
Absolutely love PockeTwit, thank you for an awesome program.

One question though. Is there a reliable way to tell PockeTwit I've viewed all of the currently available Tweets, and to stop notifying me of Unread tweets when it auto-updates? I love the ability to have Notifications on my Touch Pro 2, but all too often its notifying me of Tweets it has already notified me of (and I've already read).

Thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GreenLantern:
yea, I tried that one, seems like I get too tiny, or too large... eh better then the other clients with no built in pics...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcLandis:
You just have to select the latest tweet in the list and it will mark all others as read.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcLandis:
Maybe I can add some kind of zoom feature to the preview.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kasush:
I want to thank you for the best twitter client I have found. I use it everyday. Having just found your thread here I wanted to alert you to a "bug"

Actually, it is more a limitation of some devices. I use an Athena x7510 and for some reason polling the GPS intermediary driver never results in any co-words being sent to any application. If I manually configure an application to use the same port (COM4) as the driver listens to everything works correctly. I had this same issue with GCz, a geocaching application, and the dev added in the ability to manually configure the GPS and everything works perfectly now. Is there any chance you could do the same. I know this issue effects more users than just me.

Thank you for your consideration.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] |Blitzkrieg|:
Simple but effective, thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] |Blitzkrieg|:
Crap! (Unrelated to previous issues)

PockeTwit has started crashing regularly, usually within a minute or so of starting up. I've uninstalled/reinstalled several times, including uninstalling and deleted the remaining folder/files.

Submitted bug reports from the crashes, hope they went thru
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] outatime85:
I currently have problems with uploading photos via PockeTwit. The uploading to tweetphoto.com works, but the link to the photo is not shown in the tweet.

I re-installed PockeTwit, but it didn't help. Any suggestions?
