Peep / Twitter tab login

Trying out the new rom after using kristofpetho's Avatar for the last 6 months.

Does HTC Peep / twitter tab work? I cannot login. Also tried setting up a new account and making sure everything was logged off elsewhere. Tried on Three UK & via wifi.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
this one have not been functioning since last week (think around Apr 28-Apr 30) Once you log out, you can't login (getting wrong user name and password error).

This should be a change in Twitter login method, which may require an update from HTC for it's Peep to fix.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] eddietta:
I can see the very small font size in youtube search box (which happens in a lot of other ROMs too) still not be fixed. Anybody knows a solution?

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.

Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Nabeel10:
I've experienced this 2 times, I searched everywhere in how to do it, but people keep saying they didn't on accident, we need a dev to answer this question

this happened to me a few days ago, as well. thought it was a hidden TW bionix-v function. I tried a number of different key presses to no avail. somebody has to know what the deal is, right?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jmcghee1973:

Ahhhhh. Why doesnt anyone remember!? Lol.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ironlood:
I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] OmniNut:
I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Stevenjcarney:
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Phrack:
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

Recently here:

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

im running a stock 2.1 vibrant and this app says device not supported why ?:confused:

It's a 2.2 feature.

And why are you on XDA and still running 2.1?? Time to upgrade man lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blizzard1017:
I lol'ed..........a little.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sofia.p:
Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.

Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Kwaii49:
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MegaPrime33:
If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sofia.p:
Yea I have the shootme app. Were talking about the phone having a built in screen capture that goes off when an app crashes.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] adriansgalaxy:
Nope

Doesnt work for me. :(

Plus one to random screen shots when phone hangs up for a sec. Its happened about three times and cant duplicate the situation myself.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] axes2t2:
The back + home button combo works on my galaxy ace.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bobomo:
I think the issue is that it's a feature from the i9000, which has a phsical button for home. Our screens can't register multitouch on the capacitive keys, and so it only works when something hangs and Android thinks the buttons were pressed simultaneously. Until some dev builds a ROM with different keymappings for that feature, we're stuck with 3rd party apps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TJD319:
I gave up on the builtin Froyo screen capture service. It drives me nuts when it randomly snapshots my Angry Birds!

I just removed the apk with root explorer. Since its wack and unpredictable I decided drocap is much more reliable.

Would love it if someone figures this out in the future. I feel as though the ScreenCapture apk is controled by something else (possibly Kernel-related) because it opens when the button-combo is pressed but the app doesnt invoke a SS, just opens. So it may be attributed to the functions that actually make it take a SS.

Just some ideas I had.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xtone:
i dont think it's kernel related.. im running an i9k based kernel - still not working.

but there's ADB and shootme. i'm done beating the bush on this one.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] fit333:
epic..my first "screen capture" just now, it happened when double tapping HOME while in the stock browser. it deposited a lovely .png in a folder named "screen capture" on my internal SD. nice. still unable to repeat, but it would be a nice feature to have.:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TJD319:
I was rethinking it and it might not be kernel related but I really think it related back to what someone mentioned about the i9k having the physical home key and we dont have the multitouch keys. Probably some method within the apk that looks for this combo while on our vibrants it will only happen when the system hangs and reads the button as a dual method.

Hopefully some dev can mod this and well have a working screen capture.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johdaxx:
Should definitely work, it's unclear if AT&T will automatically 'upgrade' your data plan to match the smartphoneishness of the Streak, however.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak47m:
You can but they will upgrade it to the $25 2GB data plan... happened to me after about a weeks use or so... sucks right?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterson65:
same thing with me, i fought with them for over a month trying to keep my media net plan and i came from a htc fuze. thay kept saying the fuze was not a smartphone and the streak was so thats how they get away with screwing us out of our unlimited media net we have had for years! funny but when i purchased my htc fuze it was listed as a smart phone with windows mobile and i was never forced to upgrade my data plan then? att jerkoffs
[Captivate General] francous:
So I just signed up for at&t right after the unlimited data plan was retired.. But I heard the at&t unlimited data plan might be pulling a jay-z (comeback) ..

Does anyone know if this is true? Its all I need to be 100% happy/satisfied with my captivate..

HERE ya go :)

Thanks for the info...sucks "new users"like me who were never on a unlimited plan can't have the option tho :/hopefully some day.. I hate being limited!

[Captivate General] Xstop:
lol, I feel ya. Sort of...I have the unlimited plan :p

But you'd be surprise how many people don't even come close to the 2gb plan. I use the tethering moderately and stream pandora quite a bit, and there's only been a handful of times that I went over the 2gb mark. I'd say for the majority the 2gb is enough, plus they are offering another extra 2gb. I just don't like how they are charging extra for the tethering. :mad:
[Captivate General] Lancered:
I also have the unlimited and I can admit I never come close to the 2GB.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
There will be a day that even the grandfathered unlimited plan will be terminated one way or another. AT&T's network congestion means it should never offered unlimited plan to begin with.

Verizon actually made it clear, even though it offer unlimited for new iPhone users, top 5% of the data users will be throttled. I sense AT&T will soon follow suit.

If 2GB is not enough for you today, you're on the way to be throttled soon.
[Captivate General] richb500:
Same here - never reachd 2gb... but I need it for peace of mind. I don't have even check what I've used on my phone. I have to worry constantly about my wife and daughter going over their limits. In fact, my wife accidently went over her 200mb limit by using DroidTV and not having it set for "Wifi Only", coupled with her WIFI settings still at the default setting of "Turn off WIFI when screen goes off" instead of "Never". Even if she was set at 2gb I could see an accident like this happening and costing extra money.

AT&T claims that they notify you when you reach 60%, 90% and 100% of your limit. This is bullsh*t. They don't. First, data use reporting is about 12 hours behind. You can blow your cap by quite a bit in 12 hours. Next, when she went over 200, they sold her another 200 for $15 without any text. I believe this can happen up to 5 times ($90 for 1.2gb). 12 hours later she got a text and I got an email saying she was nearing her limit - but the limit she was nearing was 400mb (the second set of 200mb). We were never informed as she blasted right past the first 200mb. Thank goodness she only had a couple movies set to download. If she had a series recording it would have cost a fortune.

I want to set a hard limit and then have data shut off at that point. Don't sell me extra data automatically. Maybe for technical reasons, they don't know for 12 hours... so they once they find out turn off my data and don't charge me for the overage. Until they can and will do this, I don't think they should be selling limited data plans. Until they can send you warnings in a timely manner, they shouldn't be selling limited data plans.

To AT&T's credit, I was able to retroactively change her data plan to the 2gb plan back to the beginning of my billing cycle - so the mistake cost me $10. Now out of piece of mind I will probably have to keep her at the 2gb plan even though in the past she's never even come close to the 200mb.

RE: Verizon "unlimited"... I can understand temporarily throttling back a heavy user maybe for few hours or days, but not for the rest of the billing cycle and definately not for the next billing cycle. Can you imagine you make one mistake like my wife did and have your speed crippled for up to 2 months? How can they even legally cripple service for a future billing period?

This is important for us to follow because AT&T is probably watching this approach closely and will eventually adopt it for us as well.
[Captivate General] richb500:
5% is a huge number of customers - probably a lot of them being business customers. Once enough people get throttled back Verizon may have to rethink this approach. Consider what Comcast did. They went from unlimited to 250gb. That's a very reasonable limit that certainly doesn't catch 5% of their internet customers. Of course as time goes by they will have to adjust that 250 up or they will start catching more and more customers.

I don't think they've defined what they consider heavy users yet. It must be pretty low to include 5% of data users.
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
An even better option would be data buckets, where your unused data rollsover. I've gone near the 200mb cap quite a few times since the default settings cleverly turn off wifi when the phone sleeps :rollseyes:
[Captivate General] Xstop:
"Demographic Research" is why we have the 2gb plan in the first place.

That's why I believe the unlimited plan will be eventually phased out also. Yea, their offering the unlimited plan again, but to me that's mostly PR to get more customers because cases like this: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/04/verizon-breaks-first-day-sales-record-with-iphone-4-pre-orders/ I don't really know how truthful that is, since corporate tend to inflate stats for the press.

But competition is good for the consumers, as long as both these billion dollar companies are in high competition, it should be easier on the wallet for us. Hoping...but still believe they are ripping us off as consumers (and I will keep the reasons why to myself, I've seen what it did to the other threads :p )

These are all opinions, and I take your posts as opinions. So...can we keep this civil. The other threads I've seen regarding this subject matter tend to get heated, which I do avoid (I have enough drama in my life :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
I believe that the limited plans were and still are a great idea. 2 gigs is a ton of data in my opinion.I rarely every go above 1 a month and I am on my phone a fair amount. It just all depends how much data people want. and lets face it the people who want and need the unlimited plan are the 1-5% of people that killed at &ts wireless network speed by streaming 1080p content for several hours a day
[Captivate General] Xstop:
I don't think the limited plan is a bad idea, but I do see the amount going up and up. Since mobile internet access will exceed home internet access in the future, in my opinion. Which in turn costing us more and more.

As richb500 said, it is important to follow this and see what AT$T does.
[Captivate General] groves226:
When I was following the Fuze/Tilt2 forums it was pointed out that the is no true unlimited plan. The plan is called unlimited but in the TOS it states that over 5G of data transfered ATT can terminate your service.

All carriers have that clause in their respective TOS.

I have the old unlimited plan and have gone ovef 5G once but repeated go over 4G and never got any warning messages about my use.

Just a word of caution.

Sprint seems to be very loose with enforcement. A co-worker has an EVO and uses upwards of 20G a month using it has a hotspot and has never been warned about abusive use which is again in the Sprint TOS.
[Captivate General] bames:
shouldn't have to terminate it.

if they weren't greedy and shortsighted they could get most to move over voluntarily with the right incentives.

For Example - Anyone with unlimited who is willing to Renew a new 2 year contract on their voice and take a capped data plan gets to choose any At&t Phone @ no cost with the upgrade. Couple this with informing users that stay on the unlimited they will face throttling if it is abused....(soft cap of 5 or 6 gb).

75% or more would likely take advantage if they could get the latest phone for free (iphone, atrix, whatever else comes down the pike).

Couple it with a marketing campaign to the effect of TETHER AWAY. No charges for tether as we respect your right to use the full potential of your phone. Give 250mb data free to all smartphone users. Offer 2gb @ $25 and 4GB @ 45$ (same as tether pricing but removes the stigma and bad taste of being charged for something that costs them nothing and is a native capability of the OS/Device). Keep the $10 overage charge per every GB of data over the cap.
[Captivate General] francous:
Damn you guys are making me feel like I have a problem lol...

I go over 2 gigs almost every month and have to pay the additional 10$ for another gig..came to the point I have to turn off my data and use it only when I need to just to stay under.. (when I'm not home under wifi)

Il trade with you unlimited ppl any day!

[Captivate General] richb500:
Do you have your wifi set to never turn off? A lot of people think they're safe at home on their wifi... But as soon as the screen turns off, so does the wifi. They default this way to save battery.
[Captivate General] francous:
mine stays on all the time.. but i turn my Data Off while my wifi is on so if wifi were to cut out it wouldnt use my data anyway

UPDATE: i called AT&T just for kicks to see if there were a unlimited data plan no one knew about.. turns out there isnt for us smartphone customers but there is for NON Smartphone customers because they use less data.. wtf..

Can we LIE and say we are not a smartphone, say we're on some ol' school slidey phone or something and get that plan!? lol..
[Captivate General] maxjivi05:
Good for us consumers, but anyone that is like me that uses 1GB a day with ease "when you are at work with nothing better to do then surf the net, and watch movies" it becomes a problem, lucky I have unlimited data though and I don't see why they don't sell it to more customers because most who have it don't use nearly that much so its extra money in the pocket
[Captivate General] Xstop:
The unlimited data plan offering is not official, and I don't think customer service will know anything until Verizon iphone official launch date. What I've been reading (ex.) http://www.zdnet.com/blog/apple/at-t-quietly-matching-vzws-unlimited-data-plan-for-iphone/9317

But this is only a business move, in my opinion, since there are certain criteria you must meet to get back the unlimited plan.

And for your question: No you can't lie about not having a smartphone, when actually you are using a smartphone, they will know.
[Captivate General] richb500:
How do you turn your data off? I know there are a bunch of ways... but I'm looking for an easy way my wife can do it.
[Captivate General] francous:
If its rooted and you have a custom rom, most of them have the turn data off option in the power settings..very easy to turn on and off

[Captivate General] fatbas202:
Agreed. I am grandfathered in to the unlimited data plan.

A couple of weeks ago my brother and I were stuck someplace without wifi, so I used wifi tethering with his PS3 and we streamed about 6 GB of Netflix in 2 afternoons.
[Captivate General] francous:
tsss... LUCKY!! :mad: .. i actually thought of switching carriers for this specific problem.. who da hell wants to be limited?!.. im pretty sure at&t is losing customers because of it.. now that verizon has the iphone there is NOTHING special about at&t at all..
