Nope - just sent a tweet, received a tweet and received a reply to my tweet - v. strange!

I managed to fix this (it was occuring for me as described) by going to Manage Applications under Settings > Applications, and clearing Peep and Twitter Widget data

Or use a decent client like Twidroid

Works for me too - both sending and receiving tweets on Modaco 2.2

Dave

Just tried your suggestion but it didn't help. Everything comes up OK if you log out and log back in, but trying to update (automatically or manually) causes either com.htc.provider or peep itself to crash.

Peep is still working for me too.

Semi official statement from HTC

Same here.
Peep is just working fine.

Having issues with Peep. Installed I Tweet (now free) and this is incredible.

i would suggest SWIFT its very fast and has great usability. I like it much more then Twidroid or i tweet.
But this is a matter of taste.
Anybody who is searching for a peep replacement until it works again should check out:
- twidroid
- i tweet
- swift
- twitterride
and more and choosne what suits him the best.
i chose swift because the list is scrolling REALLY fluid and the updates are very fast. Also like the UI colors (whereas the bright blue on twidroid is not good for my eyes). Functionality wise i think most good twitter apps are up to par, so the UI will make the difference.

HTC Peep fixed

According to HTC, peep has been fixed, it seems to work for me, can somebody confirm?
http://twitter.com/htc/status/4514374998
yes it works again.
i activated the widget and use the regular peep app again. still swift is much faster, only thing i don't like is that swift stores only very few tweets, so for offline usage (in subways) peep is better since it can store 250 tweets.
Yes it seems to be fixed for me now, Vodafone UK still blocking the ports it uses though
Why did they post that from twitdroid and not there own peep....

Haha, that's actually very funny and a valid question indeed... My Peep force closes all the time and takes forever to update. How could that change without updating the actual software?
I think they developed a solution with twitter. Mine is working perfect again even though it produces a lot of traffic!!

well i think twitter did the optimization on their API in this case, so no need for updating peep on the device.

Change default twitter app

Hi - does anyone know of a way to change the default twitter app in the friendfeed from Peep to Touiteur (Which IMO is a FAR better twitter app)?? I only got my handset today and it's my first android device - so slowly getting to grips with it!
CHeers,
Badger
SWIFT is one of best twitter clients on android

No, sorry, i don't, but in terms of better twitter apps, have you looked at SWIFT ? It's been the new rising star in twitter clients on android.
On a second note: Since I have not yet received my Desire, could you pleas post either screenshots or a list of settings/preferences that DO show for Friendfeed? I ask specifically about setting intervals for refreshing the stream. Does it provide separate refresh rates for each of the feeds, or just one main one, or none at all?
I ask because this is predictably going to be the biggest battery drainer on the Desire, so I am just getting a leg up before getting my device :;
Sorry - i spoke too son and not even checked out:
http://levelupstudio.com/touiteur
looks like a great twitter client -- and what i just found out is it supports the "twitlonger" API, which makes it, to me all the more useful.
http://www.twitlonger.com/apps
Why twitlonger?
http://www.twitlonger.com/about
Ok, my wife is the one with the Desire, but from using latest version on my Hero.
Just go to Settings> Accounts & Sync
Click on Twitter, then simply click on 'Remove Account'
That will remove all twitter from FriendFeed.
Then simply use whatever other app you want, either by clicking on the app icon to start it, or by installing the app's widget if it has one.

Thanks for this, but I would like to continue using the friend feed, just not use peep as the default app when opening a post from the friend feed.
@quicksite - No settings I can see for refreshing at all...Battery life was pretty poor yesterday, but i did play non stop with my new toy for like 8 hours

Twitter App

Anyone have an recommendation for a good Twitter app? I was a fan of Seesmic for Android but found nothing I like yet for WinMo. Also, does anyone know how to put the icon for Twitter on the Homescreen? (not in the bottom bar) I am running Kumar Premium. Thanks.

MOTWEETS
MoTweets is the best twitter app I have used..handsdown. I think it is a lot better than Peep as well.
Just installed motweets and i do like it, though i can't seem to get list option to work, any ideas? I have created 3 lists on my twitter account on feeds im following though when i go to lists in motweets and click refresh they don't appear.

For some reason now after installing v1.7 it decided to work
Curious??? What's wrong with Peep that comes on the HD2? Works great for me, but if this Motweet action is way better, I'll give it a shot.

Peep is pretty kick-ass but it lacks a few of the options that MoTweets has. download motweets and give it a go. Its pretty nice. I am actually using both at the moment.
After upgrading to the new ROM for my HD2 and reinstalling Motweet.exe from my PC it now shows all of the timeline stamps as "1 minute ago". No matter how many times I refresh. I bought the full version or whatever.
Any ideas? Or is this an issue on Twitter's end? Hrmmmm.
Figured this out. When I loaded up the new ROM, I noticed that it had my time incorrect. I manually set it. Just noticed that my date was also incorrect. It was a day behind. Once I fixed the date, the timeline started working again...
My question. Is there a place to choose whether it automatically pulls the time and date that might be unchecked for me or something? I've been digging but haven't found anything.

You can try this, but I don't know how well it works (never used it myself):
On your settings tab, pick "data services", and there will be an "internet time sync" button, where you can then choose for it to "get time from the internet"
Other than that, I've never seen any settings to get the time automatically
About Motweets, how do you get it to run during startup + minimized? I'm just looking for an app that does that, so if Motweets can't do that, can someone direct me to another that does?
CHeers mate

(Q) Foyo 2.2 with sense ROM

Hi Guys is there a froyo rom with sense for the legend? really hating the software on my legend after the last update and my texts are all wrong Would love froyo with sense on my device.
Thanks
way too fat
No... Sense is too fat. Try the Azure build... you won't miss the HTC stuff

Agree But it seems like azure doesn't use jit, so it's performance is almost the same as stock htc rom with sense

Who told you that?

We're at v1.0.1, so JIT is there and working

try Beautiful widgets, the weather clock is very customizable. costs a couple of bucks, but totally worth it if you miss the clock.
i've tried the azure, but it's almost unusable without htc's stuff (no smart dialer, facebook and twitter integration with contacts)
in my opinion azure is the best.i am getting best performance than any other rom.
i don't miss htc sense ui........i am using better widgets and some twitter and Facebook widgets i manage to get my nostalgic feeling of htc sense..........so my opinion to go for azure rom...........

Froyo offers contact-linking out of the box which basically means any app can add information to your contacts. The official Twitter and Facebook apps synchronize contacts and with 2.2 you can select which ones to link (just like with Sense on 2.1 ROMs).
If you tell me you need Sense for this then I'm quite sure you didn't even try.

Thanks Ali ba for these explanations. I can understand makaze because I also tried a froyo rom, not azure, maybe a couple of months ago and I went back really fast to myprevious rom because I missed exactly these two things, facebook contact sync and smart dialing.
Like makaze , when I saw these problems, I thought it was because the sense absence, and I didnt search a lot for a way around, they just were 2 very important issues. But if you say facebook contacts syncsworks, I wil try azure tomorro!! by the way, does anyone know how to install a smar dialer like htc's? with that it would be just perfect
I like a clean rom, what I need I can install myself, when I buy a Computer, I also format it and reinstall it without the software of the pc maker.
Dialer one I use, is nearly the same as HTC and

I have same issue such as you , no life without sense !
try zeam launcher
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/zeam-launcher_guca.html
Syncing with facebook and twitter is working fine here, lets not give out false information to anyone reading this. Facebook integration is supported fine in Azure ROM (and others)!
I am going to give it a try... I guess that if we want to have the last version of android, now and in future releases, we are gonna have to get use to live without htc sense
i've installed both facebook and twitter but haven't really noticed much of an integration (eg. people photos not downloading, unable to browse their albums directly via phone like in htc's friendfeed, see status updates when opening contact...). but then again, the biggest drawback is that there is no smartdialer and i still can't understand why an smartphone operating system does not include this by default (we're not in 2001)

[Q]Facebook

Anybody noticed that Facebook push notification aren't working?
Noticed that...can't find any reaso why.
Should work with Android 2.2.X but it doesnt
Ah I'm glad it's not just me. Well I thought it was just the ROM I'm using but like you said all 2.2 devices should support it.
Since today i'm running RAFDROID HD 3.1 and there is no "push" setting in facebook available.
I think it's an Facebook bug because a friend of me have an Desire HD and there a no notifications, too.
Are there any solutions to get they working? I would love push notifications in facebook
There never was any push setting it jusr sort of happened try going back to version 1.5.0. Tell me if it works. The apk is attached for you.
I noticed that the notification aren't working when on mobile data, then a message appears saying that notification cannot be checked (connection reset by peer) or s.thing similar.
However, when on WiFi the notifications are loading.
Guess as well that it is a Facebook bug.

Ouch I don't have that problem. Are you sure you haven't turned off auto sync?
two weeks ago i was running a CoreDroid HD Rom and got the first time push notifications in facebook. i could swear i saw there an option called "push notifications" on/off...
maybe i was wrong.
since that time they never worked again on any rom i tried. (desire z / Raf / Coredroid...)
why we are so outstanding with android? it can't be so hard for the devs of the facebook app to get push working?!
Main thing is the applephone have it!!

Well maybe there was, I'm not sure. I have never seen it. Exactly the situation had them perfect until a week or so ago.
Lets face it the app could do with a facelift compared to the Apple one anyway.
