The twitter app on my latest Hero (no.4) doesn't seem to be picking up tweets? Have I accidentally changed a setting somewhere?
check to make sure that you haven't turned off wifi and/or mobile data.
obvisouly if there is no connection to the internet, it won't pick them up. I believe it also suspends until you manually update and then it begins auto checking again
open Peep and press menu > settings
select send receive
make sure that it's not on manual.

I was abroad this weekend and noticed that while on WiFi only (without mobile data) my twitter feed would not update.
Thanks for the replies guys, the Wifi thing might have something to do with it, I set the incidence of replies to every half hour but it didn't make a difference. For some reason the backlight on my screen kept going dim when bringing the phone out of a locked state so I'm going to do a reset and see what happens then.
Are you using a task killer? If so and you kill Peep this will stop the Peep service as well as the application and stop background checking.
if you are only using wifi, you do know that wifi turns off when in standby unless you have changed the advanced wifi settings.....? if you haven't, and your device is in standby, then it won't update!
settings > wireless controlls > wifi settings > menu > advanced > wifi sleep mode
make sure that this is set to stay on when in standby
I think rhedgehog has it.
I should've waited before doing that reset!
EDIT: It does seem silly that if it's switching off the wireless that it doesn't note when it last checked for updates and then update accordingly. Peep was set to check every hour but it hadn't updated for four hours, I guess because the phone had gone into standby after being active for less than an hour.
I didn't like peep looks nice but that's about it. I have been using twidroid its not a hundred 100% perfect but its allot better than peep.

I'm starting this thread because it's obvious these problems exist, but they don't seem to have been addressed, or at least not in depth.
I upgraded to the Alltel 3.35.671.9 Rom, and have regretted it ever since.
Problems so far:
1. Phone locks for no reason. At first I had not set a password at all, but still got locked out. Removing the battery got around this. So I set a password and phone still locks randomly for no reason. Now the password I set worked for the first 2-3 times, but today it did not work, and i was forced to remove the battery again.
2. Memory Leak coming from nowhere. Occasionally I will bring the phone out of sleep mode, only to find the screen at 10% brightness. When I check memory, there are NO running programs, yet there is a memory allocation bar that shows 0% allocated for storage, and -122 Megs available for running programs. Only a soft-reset fixes this issue. I have disabled X-button completely (as I have heard there is a memory issue with 2.0) but since it came native to this Rom, i cannot Uninstall it.
3. Activesync keeps coming back on, draining my battery. Now I know there used to be a trick to this, but for some reason nothing I have found so far keeps activesync from restarting.
Loaded programs since Clean Upgrade:
1. Magic Button ( don't leave home without it )
2. HTC Home Plugin 2.10
3. HTC Home Customizer
4. Advance Configuration Tool
5. Sprite Backup (need that one)
6. PocketCM
7. Google maps
8. GooSync
blah blah blah..
Anyone have any ideas I'm all ears.
alltel
I have updated mine to the new rom and works perfect
i got it all working including the GPS.
I have had no lock ups, no issues at all.
Screen stays at 100%, sync works fine both in cradle and over the air
Sound is great, alarms work fine
Cant see any issues
I will be updating my daughters tomorrow and will report back if any issues but i have a ton stuff loaded on mine and all is good and she is a basic user so I am sure it iwll all be good on hers to

Thanks. Althought that doesn't "Seem" to have ANYTHING to do with activesync, I'll take your word for it. I remember with the old rom Activesync would come on after a soft-reset, but close it once and it stayed closed.
As for some of the other issues, I did find out i was using a "hermes" version of HTC Home. After installing the correct version my phone runs MUCH better.
Issues Still Present:
1. I got locked out of my phone TWICE today. I have NOT set a password (Start > Settings > Lock ... "prompt if device is unused for... " is UNchecked.)
2. I have not yet been able to get GPS working with google maps.
--Start > Settings > Phone > Services > Location Settings is set to ON.
What other software can I test GPS with.. I rarely use anything else anyway.
Thanks for the info.
Today's Report:
My phone only locked up on me (by "locked up" I mean 10% screen brightness, unresponsive app apctivation... start menu still works, but no buttons launch. After a few minutes I can activate memory usage only to find out -122Mb allocated with non left for any apps).
I thought it odd tho.. 1st lockup was at 2:15pm 2nd Lockup was at 5:15pm (3 hour coincidence).. I expected the next at 8:15 but it didn't show till 9:00 (or there abouts because I wasn't paying attention.
I DID however notice that it happened today while the phone was charging, but it HAS done this directly out of my holster, so I don't think this is a clue. This seems to be a timing issue with an application somewhere.
Good news! I only got locked out of my phone once!! So I set a password and set it to 24 hours, something that will probably NEVER happen. If I get locked out again.... I'm going to looking for a Kitchen Rom. Can't be much worse.
I installed 3G WatchDog and its in constant use. I installed SpareParts to look at network usage and the first item is 0 and when I tap on it, it FCs. I am going to wipe and reflash the ROM later and take a look later but anyone have this problem or a solution? Or a way to see what app is using my connection constantly?
Not sure if this helps, but in Settings - Wireless & networks - Mobile networks - there is an option for 'Enable always-on mobile data' which I believe keeps your 3g running all the time.
http://androidforums.com/147137-post14.html
That is probably one of the better explanations for what disabling 3G Always on does. Seems like it's a huge battery saver.
OP: have you tested the suggestion in the article donatom3 linked?
Let us know...
My Wifes EVO is having the same issue. Her phone is contantly downloading data. I got a clue when I looked at her data useage and she clock 14GB for the partial month.
I shut down services until I found the culprit. It was "People". I checked sync setting and all and it seems they are all set to 1 hour or more intervals. When I force a close of "People", the data access stops and goes to normal even if I restart "People".
If I shut down the phone and then turn back on, then it seems to start all over again.
As a bandaid, I have set Advance Task Killer to kill the "People" service automatically every 30 min.
I would sure love for someone to find a more permanent resolution.
Can't you just remove it from the home screen, and it will stop using the data?
Noticed lately that every time I wake my screen up from being off by just pressing the power button and unlock it, the phone seems to do a data refresh and the 3G icon lights up and the up/down arrows light up transferring data.
Any clue why this would be? I think it might effect my gmail as I've noticed some times that ill get mail upon waking up the screen.
I'm using DC 3.2.3 with the FPS kernel for the Epson screens if it makes any difference. Also have that gmail account set up on exchange in the htc mail set to check every 4 hrs but the issue I notice the lack of push some times is in the actual gmail app that should be 100% push from what I understand.
The data transmit on screen wake up is what gets me though. I have gtalk still running in the background before anyone jumps on that. Also noticed this issue when running the stock rom too so dont think its a DC thing.
Any suggestions or comments on this?
bump for some hopeful insight on this
Probably some kind of a script on turning display on.
Check Autostarts.

Any particular way to do this? I mean I can check the running services and see whats running but I want to see whats using the data connection on the screen wake up.
Settings > Wireless > Mobile Networks > "enable always-on mobile data"
if it's unchecked, it will pull certain data when you wake the phone.

While that makes sense I'd like to know what is constantly using data it seems with mobile data on b/c it still flash's the arrows quite a lot. This is odd to me when i dont have anything loaded to refresh every 15sec or somin like that and even the weather is set to every hour.... other than that and set cpu, titanium backup, system panel there isn't anything running out of the norm thats not htc/android related in the running services.
Ok, although I do not have a solution it seems that their are a small percentage of people on here that have the same problem as me.
This is what I know:
The EVO has a bigger display, a faster proccessor, 4G, and alot of advanced features this means battery is not going to be the greatest.
However, I am now rooted running CM6 RC2, and although I love this ROM I have been having terrible battery. Also, I was using Fresh's and stock unrooted ROM and had bad battery also, AFTER I PUT IN ALL MY SETTINGS.
When I would hard reset my phone, it would sleep like normal, and the battery would run great, however, I think their is a setting that I use with my phone that is keeping it awake.
Now I am going to give all the settings that I use on my phone without installing any apps from the market. Because I know some apps keep your phone awake but I did a factory reset, put in my settings without installing any apps and my phone stayed awake.
***I have already tried the HTC and Sprint method of "conditioning your battery" I know their are 2 methods I have done both. I have setCPU, juice defender, spare parts, all that stuff that supposedly saves battery, but so far none have helped. Also my phone is set to auto CDMA, i tried that*****
Here is what I think. I am changing some setting in the phone that is keeping it awake and I can't seem to find what it is, I had this same problem with google sync setting and thankfully someone helped me fix it and it solved the problem however, after that I am still having the issue.
Keep in mind I HAVE NOT INSTALLED ANYTHING FROM THE MARKET YET, I have only entered my settings in apps that came with the phone because I believe that is the culprit.

Not to burst your bubble, but it's been pretty much proven that CM6 has unsatisfactory battery life.
Try Burnt Droid v1 + netarchy-toastmod kernel for optimum battery life.
I know,
but after reading through the thread it seems that about half of them half pretty good battery life, however I had poor battery with other roms, because something was keeping my phone awake.
I'm having a similar problem. On any ROM that's based of HTC's 2.2, my phone will run fine for about a day and then it will begin to stop sleeping. Once that happens the only way to get it to stop is to do a factory reset. What's funny is that using the exact same settings with CM6-RC2 I don't get the 100% awake issue. I've tried everything and can't figure it out.
I've tried turning off all automatic syncing, turning off network time and network location...didn't work. I deleted my Exchange account since I had heard that some people were having Exchange problems...didn't help. This last time around I didn't install anything from the market, it was just the stock apps. I did connect the phone to Sync in my truck and used it quite a bit before the problem cropped up.
I've got a sneaking suspicion that it's some kind background process that tries to run after a specified amount of time, but there's some kind of problem with the Sense-based ROMs that I've tried that won't allow it to run properly. So we need to figure out what the process is and either stop it from running in the first place, or figure out a way to take it out of the ROM so it isn't there to begin with.
I'm going to wipe everything and try installing Fresh 3.1.0.2 again. I'm going to try to remember to reboot my phone every night when I plug it in to charge and see if that helps. While it isn't ideal, it's way easier than having to do a factory reset every other day. I'll post back and let everyone know what happens.
Hi folks,
I've got the 6013 model in the US, running on AT&T, completely stock never rooted, fully updated to 10.3.11. Either the most recent update, or the one before that, seems to have caused an issue where texts sent to me overnight or in early morning before I first use the phone never show up. I've missed some important notifications due to this. The worst thing is they NEVER show up... they aren't just delayed until I wake the phone up. After I start using the phone, new texts make it through just fine. The phone seems to be sleeping deeper or something and not getting any of these cellular-based texts. Emails and other notifications based on wifi internet seem to be showing up fine.
Do not disturb is NOT enabled (and, I've tried toggling it on and off without change). This has been going on for weeks or longer, multiple reboots, etc.. I've checked my default texting app (Textra) and the phone's built-in Messages app... the texts aren't in either app. They just never show up.
What else can I look into to check the cause of this and hopefully a fix?
Thanks!
As a test today, I sent a text from my work phone to my personal OnePlus when I got up (late! Father's Day!) before interacting with my OnePlus at all. It did receive the text just fine. I think the cellular radio may be on some timer and going to sleep / waking up on some sort of schedule. Where are the settings for controlling this kind of thing? I haven't messed with this phone's settings much... it just worked fine out of the box and ever since for the last two and a half years until recent update messed this text thing up.
Further information: In Settings, Battery, Battery Saver is OFF (I've never enabled this) and under battery optimization I noticed Textra was set for Intelligent Control; I've toggled this to Don't Optimize. "Messages" was not present; I never use it.
Is there anything else to try? Note that the phone is plugged in and fully charged at the time these issues are occurring.

Dude, not sure but hope it will work,
anyway trying will cost nothing...
Go to settings > battery > battery optimization >
hit on upper right 3 dots and select advanced optimization,
then be sure " SLEEP STANDBY OPTIMIZATION"
is toggled OFF.
Try again and cross your finger...
Cheers

Thanks @Dadditz , that was already off. Sigh. Not sure why this happens. I've tested when I get up at 7 am, sending a text from another phone, and my 6T receives it, but during the darker hours of the night, no joy. Thanks for the reply, though.
Just as a follow up, the problem seems intermittent. I got some 4 am texts from my sump alarm when the wifi went down briefly. No idea what's going on, but it's intermittent rather than constant.
