Fixed It

Removed Twitter Tab from Sense, than did the Opera trick: signed-in, signed-out, closed Opera. Restarted the Twitter Tab....got a screen freeze.....Soft Reset by Red Button. Once restarted everything worked:D:D

thnx to all
[HD2 General] scotia_rfc:
OK i deleted the Temp/TwitEng folder, restarted Sense and logged into Twitter again. Issue looks to be sorted for now. Hope it stays fixed ;)
[HD2 General] Milfried:
Works

It works for me - remove Twitter tab from Sense (autorestart od Sense), delete of TwitEng directory and than turn on Twitter tab again (autorestart againg) and log in to Twitter service ...

Thx guys!
[HD2 General] Aphoenix:
i installed cleartemp program in my hd2 and i deleted all temps in pda.

after then sign out to twitter and sign in again

all tweets loaded and now still working.

thnx all :)
[HD2 General] fuglynutlock:
I've had the same problem and thought it was my doing! I did a hard reset yesterday to no avail so just logged out..... Read this thread today and tried again an hour ago and all now seems well.........
[HD2 General] izzwanemir:
it's not wokring. i've deleted the TwitEng folder and restarted my Sense... still not working
[HD2 General] Milfried:
You have to do exactly this steps (in this order):

1) log-off twitter on HTC

2) go to Settings and deactivate "twitter tab", than HTC will do auto-reset (if not, you have to do soft reset - it must be DISABLED, before you delete the TwitEng folder

3) THEN delete the "TwitEng" folder

4) give back "twitter tab" to Sense

5) do the soft reset

6) log in to twitter

Hope, you'll be successfull, man ...
[HD2 General] izzwanemir:
thanks so much ! it's working now :D
[HD2 General] joshoon:
I tried everything, I can update my Twitter now, and I am able to post tweets, but with uploading pictures, it still fails...

Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] chris10230:
Now Basic auth is off for good (as of 4pm UK or 8am PST), how long until HTC decide to fix twitter for us? Only real guesses please :p

also anyone know a working twitter client for the time being? I'm way out on this since i got my HD2...
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I posted about this a few days back over on the TMO HD2 forum, asking if anyone knew if it would still work after the 31st and if it was using basic auth

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=767062

According to the article I linked in that thread its been long known to developers that this change was taking place. So if peep is still using basic auth, then HTC needs to get off their lazy asses and fix it ASAP.

And this fix better just be a CAB to update the current client. I dont want a whole damn new firmware just to update peep
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
is thiswhy im being told "account forbidden to acess the twitter server"?

anyone else getting this message?
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Yes I just got the account forbidden message as well.

I have a feeling this isnt going to take too long to get fixed. since peep is so prominent on the sense ribbon im sure it gets used alot, i can imagine the calls into various carriers tech support in the next few days. ****s gona hit the fan, HTC should have fixed this long ago

Edit:

Weird even though i got the account forbidden message, my last tweet did post
[HD2 General] TopOfNewYork:
My phone has been acting a fool since the HTC Peep forbidden access thing. I tried to remove it from the sense tab to restore some stability and it took me several reboots to get sense to actually relaunch and now sense is running at a snails pace. Thanks for getting out ahead of this HTC, its not like your customers have business to conduct we actually like wasting half the day booting and rebooting our phones.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
be sure to tweet often at @htc so they know well that this issue is affecting people. Im sure the carriers will chasing after them very soon too, though ive not yet seen the rest of sense bugging out because of peep, if there are a lot seeing it, im sure there will be plenty of calls into various carriers customer support with complaints.
[HD2 General] Smailtronic:
Grrr, add TouchTwit to the list of non-functioning Twitter clients. It's also affecting Android on my wife's MyTouch, as well.
[HD2 General] akpe:
Started having problems a couple of hours ago both in my Touch Pro and in my Desire... I Really hope HTC Peep and TouchTwit will be fixed. Does anyone know how we could reach TouchTwit's developers? Their twitter account hasn't been updated in months :/
[HD2 General] geralt:
I have had same problem with TouchTwit and Twitter Tab too :(
[HD2 General] taita:
on my Galaxy S, everything it´s working fine, but not on my HD2
[HD2 General] robinVerdegaal:
HTC Peep's authentication trouble is a result of Twitter's move to OAuth

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/01/htc-peep-cooked-served-a-lorange-by-twitters-new-authenticati

I'll be keeping an eye on this topic. Hope to see XDA-dev come up with a sense fix within a couple of days or so. Can't really estimate if this is going to be an easy fix or not.. Any expert opinions on this?
[HD2 General] chris10230:
I dont think that xda can fix this one, to me its a down low coding issue that needs to be fixed by HTC itself.

But i really really really want to be proved wrong this time.

Can't believe that the desire (on froyo) was not fixed prior to the release, that really does suck. HTC is not known for great CS but had got a lot better. They have not even apologised or anything leaving millions of people with a broken area on their phone. Argh!
[HD2 General] dahauss:
FIX?

Would love to know when we can see an updated version of PEEP? please HTC fix it!!!
[HD2 General] Smailtronic:
I emailed them using the addresses on their website and also used the Contact Us form located on their site. The email to the interface designer bounced back, but the one to the developer looks like it went through.
[HD2 General] Sin13:
like a few people here i thought it was something i did, all i keep getting when i try to update is i am forbidden access to the server at first i thought for some stupid reason i had a ban but can computer log fine. As with all i hope its sorted soon
[HD2 General] aaapje15:
NVM

I had posted it too early. Dídn't read it that well ;p. It is the apps i let connect to my acc =__=
[HD2 General] ledese:
its a problem caused by the new authentication system oAuth. and it sucks.

Twitter status stated that this was a problem they were trying to fix. not working apps include nokia, samsung, moto blur ect. apps. its not only HTC Peep, y'all!

edit: and now Twitter says that the problem has been solved. ARE THEY SURE?!! cause i cant access it and keep getting the forbidden account thingy!

so i dont get it! is it a problem HTC will fix or Twitter? or can we solve it in any way?
[HD2 General] chris10230:
yep yep and er yep

Nothing works here, thought i was the only one left
[HD2 General] ledese:
uh sorry, i started this thread but cant find any solutions :/ im doing the best i can!!
[HD2 General] chris10230:
not meant in that way at all. Only thought it was because no one else posted.... just happy I'm not alone in problems :)

can't really think what more u could do when the supposed htc/Twitter fix just doesn't work! lol
[HD2 General] ledese:
haha yes and they dont seem to care about it, not even an apology letter or even a TWEET! lol, they left us with broken phones in a way!

but my advice is that everyone download another twitter app that works until the problem is solved. cause the way it looks, this problem is gonna stay for a while, lol

im open to any suggestions about the replacement twitter apps! or any other suggestions...
[HD2 General] zx34:
I recommend moTweets and Azurea, both work well on HD2. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I can attest that motweets (both free and paid) are working on my hd2. Went ahead and bought the paid version of motweets. I think this is going to take awhile. Now if I can just figure out how to have it stick in the peep part of sense....
[HD2 General] shaggydabbydo:
Got this email from Twitter yesterday:

"Over the coming weeks, we will be making two important updates that will impact how you interact with Twitter applications. We are sending this notice to all Twitter users to make sure you are aware of these changes.

What are applications?

There are over 250,000 applications built using the Twitter API. To use most applications, you first authorize the application to access your Twitter account, after which you can use it to read and post Tweets, discover new users and more. Applications come in many varieties, including desktop applications like TweetDeck, Seesmic, or EchoFon, websites such as TweetMeme, fflick, or Topsy, or mobile applications such as Twitter for iPhone, Twitter for Blackberry, or Foursquare.

Update 1: New authorization rules for applications

Starting August 31, all applications will be required to use “OAuth” to access your Twitter account.

What's OAuth?

* OAuth is a technology that enables applications to access Twitter on your behalf with your approval without asking you directly for your password.

* Desktop and mobile applications may still ask for your password once, but after that request, they are required to use OAuth in order to access your timeline or allow you to tweet.

What does this mean for me?

* Applications are no longer allowed to store your password.

* If you change your password, the applications will continue to work.

* Some applications you have been using may require you to reauthorize them or may stop functioning at the time of this change.

* All applications you have authorized will be listed at http://twitter.com/settings/connections.

* You can revoke access to any application at any time from the list."

I went to where they said and it said:

"

You've allowed the following applications to access your account

* Htc_chirp_color HTC Peep by HTC Corp.

HTC Peep

Revoke Access · approved on 12:55 PM May 9th · read and write access"

However, it still does not work so I assume Peep is still in the category "or may stop functioning at the time of this change"

<drums fingers @ twitter @ Peep>
[HD2 General] munshynr:
HTC is aware of the problem which is related to the new OAUTH requirements imposed by the Twitter service. More updates may be found if you follow HTC on Facebook.
[HD2 General] Adr3naL1N:
got the same forbidden issue, bloody fix it soon please!! i got the mail from titter as ell they should kno about it and fix it without us doing anything!
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
this has been a blessing in disguise, even after they fix it I wont be using peep again, motweets is far superior.....
[HD2 General] sulphuricaciduk:
The problem is with Twitter, not Peep (or the other clients not updating). Peep supports xAuth (a variant of oAuth), you can confirm that by looking in the registry as it doesn't store your password, it stores a TwitterToken and TwitterTokenSecret which are used to connect to Twitter. Twitter also creates a connection for Peep, which you can revoke access to from http://twitter.com/settings/connections.

It's also possible to post tweets, search, view profiles, follow and un-follow, just about everything other than fetching the ones of accounts you are following. If oAuth wasn't supported none of that wouldn't be possible.
[HD2 General] chino331:
I can still log in fine to twitter thru Peep. Instead of just signing in with my username/password - I have to sign in using my email address/password.
[HD2 General] Halle:
Yes log in I can also in Peep with either my username or my email adress. However I can't post or se any new tweets. I hope they fix this issue soon.
[HD2 General] akpe:
yay they seem to have fixed it ;) works fine on my Desire now

now that leaves touchtwit... no matter how I like moTweets, I really wish they do something about it
[HD2 General] dahauss:
NOT fixed on my SPRINT TP2 (with 6/20 mighty).. I still get the ACCOUNT WAS FORBIDDEN TO ACCESS THE TWITTER SERVER error.... HELP!!!!!
[HD2 General] dahauss:
100% correct.. I can search and then read TWEETS.. so what is going on? how does this get fixed??? whos issue? HTC or TWITTER??
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
it's not twitter's fault!!!

They informed developers 9 months ago that they were changing the authorization method.

If you want to be mad at any body, go yell at htc. They are the ones that dropped the ball.

And yes, mo tweets is far superior to peep. but peep is nice to scroll and get quick tweets.

edit: and I just checked and I am still unable to log in to twitter through peep. username and email both fail.
[HD2 General] sulphuricaciduk:
Peep has been using xAuth for months, the fault is with Twitter.
[HD2 General] silkshadow:
Still not working for me. Can't log in with either username or email. I don't care who's fault it is, its just, yet another, PIA.
[HD2 General] Steve-C:
Any consolation, I can't use Peep at the moment either. Also get the account forbidden message. I'll just wait patiently for it to get fixed. Hope fully this reassures some that it's not just them. I've tried deleting the acount info from my phone, SR etc but it doesn't seem to have worked.
[HD2 General] Greatwinwin:
I have the same issue.I dont know how to deal with my phone:confused:
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Do we know if HTC are actually going to fix this or not?
[HD2 General] dahauss:
There is a message on TWITTER that peep is working again.. I dont know what they are thinking.. it doesnt work! same AUTHORIZE error! come on twitter/HTC please fix!
[HD2 General] ledese:
hmm maybe if we all tweeted them and emailed them (twitter&htc), they will understand how big the problem is. i dont know say "fix this" or maybe send a link to this thread, just let them see that we are DESPERATE!

lets spam their inboxes!!
[HD2 General] zx34:
I'm starting to get worried that Peep is a dead bird, Twitter killed it, and HTC let it die and I'm left with a dead bird on my computer table. maybe I just have to get over it and move on with my life.... :(
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I say f**k it, HTC is pointing fingers at Twitter and have barely even acknowledged the problem or kept us upto date with whats going on. This is going to factor heavily on me choosing another HTC product in the future

Ive moved on to motweets

BTW the f**kin weather tab seems to be broken now too! I liked sense, but im pretty close to turning it off and living with the standard winmo interface, seems half of sense is now buggy or broken!
[HD2 General] nickkyboy36:
my htc weather tab is fine?

the only problem is peep.
[HD2 General] tsfatt:
Hello all, I facing the same issue.... how to authorise?? I find that by log in into twitter web ...we can undo revoke or revoke???

so when I log in https://twitter.com/settings/connections, I saw;

"You've allowed the following applications to access your account

HTC Peep by HTC Corp.

HTC Peep

Undo Revoke Access · approved on 9:12 PM Jun 16th · read and write access"

But when I click undo revoke ... it look my mobile still can not access ...

Anyone have solution???
[HD2 General] dahauss:
I wish I knew what the issue is.. on twitter HTC sent me a peep saying it was fixed and I should not have to do anything to get my tab working again.. Well, it doesnt and I told them that when I replied to the PEEP.. as of today they didnt respond.. I bet I dont get a response.. I dont know how HTC could tell me it is fixed when it is not!
[HD2 General] d0ug:
We already know what the problem is, HTC Peep doesn't support OAuth, end of story.

Twitter has nothing to do with Peep not working anymore. The change that Twitter made has been publicly known that it would be happening for MONTHS if not for about half a year!

HTC needs to get off their lazy ass and rewrite Peep to support OAuth, end of story. Anything that HTC says about Twitter fixing this issue is a load of bull crap, trying to push the attention off them and onto Twitter. The only way Twitter could fix this issue is re enable Basic Auth, which i am certain they will not be doing, since this move was made in the name of security and preventing twitter spam
[HD2 General] dahauss:
HOW come I can use peep and click on SEARCH and it show me PEEPS?? doesnt that mean I am logged in??
[HD2 General] Bazzek:
You do not need to log in to search. You need to login to see your timeline and post. Neither of which are working for me atm.

Looking at your own profile works as you don't need to log in for that either
[HD2 General] chris10230:
I was thinking this but the whole point of oauth is that it registers that client to enable access to your information. So if you go to https://twitter.com/settings/connections as i has been said many times you will see peep, motweets (if you have used it) now surely if motwets is there known to be using oauth and then also peep is there must also be using oauth... I also have tweetdeck and digsby in my list both use oauth. This is not HTC's problem it is actually twitter. Also this issue was there before basic auth was turned off and only got worse once it was fully switched off.

But having said that HTC should have got twitter to fix the issue by now as no one seems to have it working any more. Whoever or where ever the test device is for it to be working again i would love to know but as yet HTC will not even say "sorry its not working we are trying to fix it". Would be great just a little thing not just full denial on it and hope it is swept under the rug.
[HD2 General] Adr3naL1N:
still not working, still getting the account is forbidden message!

c'mon htc get off your ass and fix this!!!
[HD2 General] d0ug:
With the way HTC has handled other software issues as of late, id bet this problem is 100% HTCs fault. Can anyone point me to info showing the expected low level communications of OAuth vs Basic Auth? I will packet sniff Peep over wifi and find out exactly what it is using, i just need to know what to look for.
[HD2 General] juidui:
Hi,

using Peep on Topaz I configured my eMail adress as User and my password. I get the same errors as reported here, BUT i can also post by Menu/New Tweet. If i send the tweet, i get the error message, but the tweet is there. I can see it with other clients and it is marked as coming from htc peep!

This is werd!

regards

juidui
[HD2 General] ejc:
I have been looking into this for the last few days and cannot get a conclusive answer.

HTC are blaming Twitter and Twitter are saying it is fixed! :confused:

From what I can tell if you have any device apart from the HD2 it is working!!???

I am not sure then if this is an OAuth issue, or specifically a HD2 issue.

Personally, Peep will log into Twitter from my HD2, and appears in my authorised connections in Twitter. I can update my location, view my profile, view all the tweets I have posted, search and even post tweets, the only thing I cannot do is view the timeline and tweets of everyone I follow!

Can someone explain this to me? Have I miss-understood the nature of OAuth, or is it simply a case of neither party wanting to own up to their **** ups!
[HD2 General] missparker76:
Good news: the fix should be ready by Sunday!

Long story short

Well said!!!
[HD2 General] aaapje15:
okey well, I've just downloaded new tweets! Was just listening music untill i heard the HTC PEEP sound above the music.

At first it looked like it was FALSE, but then i refreshed again, and it started downloading real long ( at least the refreshing took ages ). I think here's where they updated it or something i dunno.

But HTC Peep works again people!
[HD2 General] emignatius:
For those still having problems with Peep, try sending a tweet through your phones. I sent one through my HD2 and peep magically worked again. No more connection problem notification on mine.
[HD2 General] br4nd0nh347:
Yeah I sent one today and I seen the updates since the problem.

Has this problem been secretly fixed? Or did HTC tell twitter to give them more time?
[HD2 General] tsfatt:
Just would like to confirm, is it twitter Peep down again ... 29/11/2010 suddenly ... all twits gone ... only left sign in screen .. when I try sign in ..it back to sign in screen .... it seem nothing happened...
[HD2 General] ledese:
did you try going to data services from settings, unchecking twitter and then signing in?

that happens a lot to me

Connect your smartphone to your laptop using Bluetooth and turn your Windows Mobile phone into a wireless modem [Microsoft's Tutorial]

did everything but when opening Internet Sharing from My Device I can't click : CONNECT either from Device or Laptop.

when I click on Connect I get this error : "the connection with the bluetooth network device failed. The device may already be connected to another computer...The connection with the Bluetooth-enabled network device failed.

Although I've ensured that Bluetooth is opened and paired successfully from my device and laptop.

So I tether my computer to my 3G connection via USB with pdanet... but whenever I hook it up and use my phone, it doesn't charge my phone, and I lose quite a bit of battery after using my phone for a while... And the phone gets pretty warm...

And, I've also been hearing things about an actual cap to 3G data... should I not be tethering?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrayPanda:
I can't say that I am wholly surprised that your phone is getting warm. I'm not sure about the charging though. The longer you use your phone, especially while connected through USB will get warmer and if it doesn't get charged it will die significantly faster. Without PDANet does it charge via USB fine?
