I hope someone here can help me since i am so desperate after searching many forums, anyway i'll try summarize it as much as i can :
- my desktop twitter log in working.
- my x10 browser log in working.
- x10 opera mini log in working.
- desktop applications like tweetdeck and cotweet which require authorization working too..
- any twitter application for android isn't working, Twiteroid, etc even timescape tells me invalid account information,
Twiteroid tells my it can't authorize the account ( and its not the one hour problem that happens due to wrong password )
- i've tried revoking all access from all program but again no use..
Any ideas ?
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
there are loads of twitter apps out there for android
SWIFT
TWIDROID
TWITPRO
SEESMIC
TWICCA
and my personal favorite TWEETCASTER
check your user name and password again when entering it ...sometimes when using swype or slide it you can accidentally rely on it too much for accuracy and it will add in a word you previously entered incorrectly!
I have also noticed with passwords and emails if you have AUTO word space set up in SWYPE you can end up with a space where you do not need it and not see this glitch until it rejects your userame/password!
edit additional If your using a Googlemail or Gmail acct for your email then try re registering with a different email address sometimes GOOGLE mail account can cause headaches and not allow access to some stuff ... the android market being one will not accept an @gmail acct and needs you to use an @googlemail this is due to them offering the googlemail to gmail switch a month or so back!
TWIDROID, SEESMIC, TWICCA all not working
i can't be writing my username and password wrong for 2 days now comon
besides i log in normally on the web browser which makes me more confused
i tried log in with the username and not the Email and still no use..
it just keeps me going crazy..
There was a similar thread that I responded to on SE's own forum. I gave all the normal suggestions but none worked. In the end the lady concerned said she had to restart (?) her whole phone and lost her contacts so I think she did a factory restore on it. But that did solve the Twitter problem.
I think this is a problem that has occured in the last few days because I also noticed another couple of threads on there about the same thing. I asked the other poster to pay it forward and give a description of exactly what she did to resolve it. Sadly at this point she hasn't done so.
Hey suzed,
I sure remember your name from the se forum, you have like million post there
Anyway, i would like to make a factory reset my last resort since i am not rooted and dont want to, i wish i could solve this confusing problem, i even cant figure out if its twitter sided or mobile sided error, wait a min. I have an idea , Am gonna try another account and see where it goes...
I will post back soon.

Yeah I know I need to get a life Sadly its a bit addictive trying to help people, bugs the cr*p out of me when I can't help especially on something that should be so flipping simple.
before you resort to desperate measures... try going into settings/ applications/ manage applications/ timescape/ clear data.. and Then do the same for timescape plug in manager and timescape provider.. then do the same for any Twitter apps you have.
You'll need to set those up again, but it might just do the trick!

Hi mezo, the person on the SE forum did confirm this morning that is was a factory reset that did the trick (I get email notifications on that one - oh dear lord I need a life) but what a pain in your rear end just to get it working.
Wow you are fast, i just that notification 15 min ago too
Its just too early here, i guess i'll give it a try after backing up everything.
Will let you know how it goes...

Right Just thought of something you need to change your APN settings from AUTOMATIC to manual and choose your provider MANUALLY!
I kinda vaguely remember having a similar issue when I used GERMAN EU firmware before finding the proper UK unbranded generic firmware

i tried both..
Ok, so I posted this question up in General but got mocked and no help, so maybe I can try and get somewhere with the devs here.
I love the fact that the ability to login and sync your facebook twitter & myspace is stock on the Epic, problem is, while I can log in to facebook, & twitter......MySpace tells me "Login Failed. Try Again" every time. I've tried to look up the problem, but it seems like this is an anomaly (sp?). Anyone have any clues? I do still use myspace and handle business (I'm a DJ). Before anyone asks, yes the login information is correct, and I can log in via the website itself, and the myspace app. I don't want to use the app though, and I do want to have all my different networks in one place like it's supposed to be so any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's so great about the phone that comes with this phone? I tried using it and it gave me problems too. Just settle for something else, who knows it might be better .
Sent while your mom was putting her clothes back on (Epic4G gotta love it.)
Well what's so great about it is A) It's a feature on my phone that I'd like to have work & B) I'd like to sync my MySpace just as I sync my Facebook & Twitter. I actually do use Touchwiz, and the Friends widget on there so since that updates all at once and gives me my updates all on the same widget I would like to get that working. Now if there's a widget that will show you your Facebook, MySpace, & Twitter updates and let you update them all in one spot I'm open to suggestions.
Who still uses Myspace...that's prolly why you can't log in cause that ish is abandoned lol...

Come on man he just said he got that ich on the last thread he was looking for help on
Thread moved to General.
Whe he bought his evo he went to the sprint store. Long story short a rep set it up for him, he told the rep what he wanted and what his security question was. Why he didnt do it himself, is beyond me. Anyway, now I rooted his evo for him and went to restore gmail/contacts etc and he cannot remember his password. So we played the google games and emailed them etc etc they are saying they cannot give us our password because we didnt give them enough info to prove its us. So now he's short on his contacts right?
Sounds like it. Unless he has them backed up already somewhere (you can export to a csv or xls file when you're logged in) he's probably screwed. You should be able to get google to reset it by giving them the right information, but sometimes you have to have that set up ahead of time (like a recovery email account or something of that sort).
See if he can dig through his brain and remember it.
yeah ohwell haha. i mean I thought he would have known it, but I bet the rep ****ed it up. Hmm.. Ifilled out the form again but I doubt its going to work. kinda crazy that there is no other way for them to give it to you. I mean I see they have an SMS recovery option but no where to put in your phone or anything.

Yeah that would have to be set up ahead of time...otherwise, anyone could steal your password by providing their phone number. How is google going to authenticate you without a lot of information besides a password? They're just trying to cover their asses.
I totally understand your frustrations though, I had the same problem with steam, and when they said they sent an email to the recovery account, it was to my old hotmail address that I hadn't used in years...huge headache.
true true, but there has to be some way around it. Or something haha.
There is a way around it. Google ask's you to setup and alternate email address for recovery and I get the screen all the time that ask me to add a phone number just incase. So its not that there isnt away around it. Its that your dad hasnt taken the proper steps to avoid the situation.
Also click the contacts button, go to menu, and click export/import, back up your contacts be exporting them to the sd card or restore your contacts by importing them from the sd card. However, your dad doesnt sound like the kind of guy that exported them to an sd card. I am basicly only telling you this so you can make him aware of the option so he doesnt loose them in the futur.

Not when you set up an account on the phone tho. He never uses it let along on a PC. So that option wouldnt be available to him. Unless they changed it since I signed up on my Hero a year or so ago.
I had the same thing happen to me but my daughter set up phone to have the pattern password and she is 5 so she didn't know what she did. I tried to figure it out but couldn't. After a number of tries I got locked out and had to enter gmail but I forgot that too. Called Sprint and they got it for me it was saved to my aol account he gave it to me and end of story good luck

if you backed up before you flashed you can restore that, make a backup in titanium backup the green files, and accounts and sync (red), go back to the new rom and install titanium by downloading from their website then restoring your backups
Well I unrevo. His phone, and didn't think about it. I was unaware that he didn't know his password.lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
if he remembers the email address and the answer to the security question you can reset the password on the gmail website
or take his contacts off an older phone as a last resort!

Yeah thats the route he'll most likely have to take. He didn't add many new numbers but he did add some key ones... Oh well, mofo shouldn't have lost his password lol.

The rep did nothing wrong, its not his/her fault. Sorry, but your dad should have remembered his password, or wrote it down somewhere.

lolwut. you made sure he or she typed it in right for him? kk
But I know for a fact she spelled the secuirty question wrong. he uses it all the time and he hasnt changed it and well he was born there. So he knows that, but that too wont work.

you tried all spelling variations that the rep might have typed in?
yeah man.. its ok though. Im not here for people to argue back and forth tho ya know? Not saying you at all, just in general. Ive seen gmail/google sign-ins act funny before too. Like when I googled it earlier alot of people had to disable CAPTCHA for instance on the PC to make it work. And even when I sign in on my PC I get a CAPTCHA even with the right passworl. Guess its a security measure.. too secure IMO>
I wish we could help you other than suggestions which you might have already tried, good luck I hope for the best

Contact sync with Facebook gets removed from 2.3.3!
http://tinyurl.com/6f3oqk6
that sucks
but knowing the its only for Nexus S (2.3.3 on Nexus One doesn't disable it) makes me think it will be easy to override

Thanks, nothng came up when I typed in post title
Hi all,
I have a slight issue with the new google maps. Basically I have a gmail account which is linked to my domain (google apps). Now when I go into the "people" app, I can see my contacts have their address in their details. But when I open up the new google maps and search my contacts, it does not show my contacts address in the search bar.
Secondly (i think this is related to the same issue), if i try to use Google now "Navigate Home" command, it does not recognise my home address. It asked me to put in my home address and when I do that and click save I get an error that the address could not be saved.
Any idea what is going on with my phone? I have tried resetting the phone but it didnt help.
Thanks
2 things may be going on here. For it to work your contacts have to be associated with the same account as you're signed into maps with.
Second, I remember reading somewhere that it currently does not work with contacts associated with a business account.

I am logged into my account in the maps too. I guess youre right about the business account. Has google mentioned anywhere that when they will support it?

Google rarely says "when" LOL. Here is where I spied that disclaimer...
https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/3131570?p=maps_android_contacts&hl=en&rd=1
While I don't have a business account, I have seen a number of complaints about this or that not working right with Google app accounts, and it seems that some of these have been going on for years... so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Thanks for the help though!
I can concur that if you have a google apps for business account it's not pulling in your contact details.
Why would they remove this???? it was working before the update.
I've been using Google Maps/Navigation to get to and from clients and now because I have a google apps for business account where all my contact details are saved.
Crazy!!

Growing pains. Google releases a lot that is unfinished. This is just another brick in the wall.
I don't think this was removed in the strictest sense of the word. I believe the old behavior looked in the local contacts data as i was previously syncing over iCloud, and it worked. After the update i had to change my syncing to Google Contacts online to get contacts from a maps based search.
Guessing this new behavior is more efficient as now both the places and contacts search are online.

Google maps seems to be working (i can look up my contacts addresses) in android 4.3 even though on the link you gave me it still says that google apps business accounts wont have this functionality. One thing which is annoying me now is that since I updated my phone to android 4.3, if i say "Navigate home" to google now, it doesnt work at all (before it used to ask me to tell where is home). it just shows me random results relating home (not mine) on google.
I remember reading that in another thread, or was that you?

Yup just did a hard reset and re install of all apps and still no go.
If I do a search for one of my contacts they don't come up at all, just businesses or locations with a similar name (now just got to go into all my apps now and put in all the logins and passwords ......doh!!!)

I wasn't able to search for my contacts either. I had my web history turned off. When I turned web history on, they showed up on both the web based version of Google Maps, and the Android version of Google Maps. (I don't understand why this should be required.)
I have not tried this using a google apps account.
Hope that helps.
