Twitter dead on Timescape?

My Twitter died on Timescape after Oauth change... anybody else with the same problem?
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 bet SE has already taken care of this in recent updates which they have been releasing but your carrier has not. They should have one updates for all the regions.
SE: lets make things complicated.

Recently I changed my username and password on Twitter and my TimeScape can't login to Twitter anymore. It keeps giving the message invalid username/password which is not right. The Twitter app I downloaded works fine with my new information.
I tried logging from TimeScape both with username and email id and get the same problem. Any help?

How well does timescape work for you guys?
I only ask because it has never done a single thing for me, and I have tried to get it to do something many times.

It doesn't automatically update for me, even though I had it set to fetch every hour, so stopped using it.

Anyone know how to set this up I will be letting my girlfriend and kids use my tab so I need to be able to login an out of my accounts to keep mainly my girlfriend out of my accounts like Facebook email thanks for any help

You could try an app called Invisible Protector. You can use it to lock your apps, but instead of the app showing up as locked it will show up w/ a FC error, and you can then use several different ways to access the locked app. And the only place the Protector app shows up is in the Widgets list. They also have one (Invisible Protector II) that doesn't show up at all. You have to dial a command to get to the settings.
For example I have mine setup so that when the error pops up it gives me an option to send an error report and in the next field I just enter my password and the app loads.

But there is administrator under settings but I can't get it setup
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

That administrator option under settings I believe is to enable administrator features to certain apps - for instance allow a find my phone app to enable the GPS without going through the warning dialog, or enable a wipe app to remotely wipe the entire device's memory without confirmations if you lose it.

Ok thanks that's to bad I would love to have a guest account

Thee is a developer asking for testers for just what you are asking for look in the bottom forum section for apps and themes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478321
I think this is the thread
Use this with a app lock program.

That being said, there is no 'non-hackish' way to do that. While the kernel supports true multiuser, the rest of the OS doesn't. The Admin stuff in the settings is for locked-down devices integrated into corporate networks (i. e. you're only allowed to use apps approved by your boss and installed by your admin and your device gets wiped if you try to get around it... though it can be made less strict)

I also use an app to lock thing down. Only I know of

The lockdown works via certain apps that install security hooks in your device -- basically giving them the ability to remote-wipe the device or do other funny stuff without your consent. The only app I know of that acually uses this is Junos Pulse, used to access Juniper SSL VPN networks (mostly in corporate or university settings), though I guess some of the 'remote admin' capabilities of antivirus tools use the same mechanisms.
The bottom line: Your app may actually use the mechanisms I described in my earlier post. If you want to check, see settings -> location & security -> device administrators.

I noticed this post on the Gtablet site. It looks to do what you are asking for. Read down the the last post on page 1. I have not tried it yet so cant verify whether it works or not.

Gmail 2.3.5 breaks widgets

Watch out Gmail 2.3.5 update seems to break widgets and launchers that show unread Gmail. Now I wish I had backed up my GSII Gmail with TB...

Yeah that kind of sucks. Will just have to wait fire the launchers to provide us with an update!

You can do a Google search for Gmail 2.3.4.1 and install that. Fixed my problem.

or you can just go back to market, search for gmail and click uninstall updates.

Just download the previous version from forum or custom rom that has gmail inside. Just take the gmail.apk then install

I had issues rolling back... Even after uninstalling the update, my notifications were still broken, ended up doing a factory reset (and good thing I do a daily backup!)
Was having all kind of other problems with the new gmail app too...auto sync wasn't working anymore so had to refresh manually, emails sometimes wouldn't send and the number of unread emails wouldn't clear. A complete mess really

I can't update GMail, I can't even see it in the Market? Does anybody know why?
It's not among all the Apps I have downloaded.
I can't even find it when searching for it, it just doesn't show up!?

Just search for "gmail" in the market. App is preinstalled so it won't show in the apps downloaded from the market, but if you find it in the market it will just say "update". And yeah, 2.3.5 gmail breaks all notification services that are supposed to retreive unread emails, no longer possbile for now, but i use Samsung Social Hub anyway.

Here is a link to explain it further.
"Basically, previously an app just had to declare that they use the READ_GMAIL permission in it’s Manifest and it would all work. Now though, they’ve added the androidrotectionLevel="signature" which means that only the Gmail app itself can access it’s DB (as that’s the only thing which will have the right signature).
Which means that all the Gmail notifiers, widgets, etc in the Market will not work. Ever. The same can be said for FriendCaster’s Gmail notifications feature.
Thanks Google…."​
Yeah!!! Thanks Google!
Edit: Also, Google's competitor (Windoz Phone) shows an unread count on their phones, why can't google have the same native widget that does an unread count. We had to completely rely on 3rd party developers, BUT NOW it wont work!
STUPID GOOGLE!

Someone mod it lol

just don t install de update , or unistall it from market , it breaks , popup , missed reminder , etc.... i won t install untill the other app works with the new gmail

Gmail v2.3.5 seems to break ADWNotifier to. Because that can notify of e-mails from Gmail.

ADW Notifier can no longer do a "count" but can put up the question mark bubble, at least in Chuck Norris mode. Latest update fixed the FC issue it was having.
Google probably though they were helping increase Android security, as I imagine they changed the permissions to prevent potential privacy problems.

I unlocked Gmail 2.3.5. Pure messenger widget can read Gmail 2.3.5 (modded) if you follow 'solution 3' ... http://bit.ly/ph4T0a

Would be nice to try Social Hub, but it will not accept GMail as an account on my phone. Gave up on it.
Tried the uninstall update method. No go.
Google's starting to develop some of the M$ bad habits. Maybe they ARE getting too big.

[Q] Stock Email app Combined View not Syncing

Hi Folks,
This is my first time on the XDA Developers forum so go easy on me, i've had a look around but cannot seem to find any posts with this problem.
I have a nexus 4 and have set up my 3 email accounts on the stock email app. The checking frequency is set to 'never' on each account as i only check my email once every day or so and don't want any unnecessary data usage.
So my issue is that if i load the app into combined view, so all my email accounts show on the same screen, there is no option to sync all 3 accounts at the same time, i have to click into each account individually for the sync process to start, then go back into combined view to see all 3 accounts email on the one screen. I'm sure that can't be right as that seems to defeat the object of having the combined view if i have to click into each account to start the sync, i might as well view the accounts individually. I'm sure that on my old HTC One X on the HTC Mail app as soon as i launched the app the sync process started for all the accounts on the phone.
I have tried turning auto sync on in the 'data usage' menu but it doesn't make any difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

The thread subject is kind of misleading which makes it look like a bug but anyway.
This is normal and not really a bug at all what so ever, you can use a 3rd party app from the Play Store to do the job.

Gmail not syncing -. Here's a fix

Wasn't sure where to post this. For the last year or so despite having Gmail as auto sync, it would not sync unless I manually pull down to sync it.
Well I found a solution after a year long search of no results. Under settings, battery and selecting the top 3 button on top right of battery screen I selected batty optimization. And changed Gmail to not optimized. Gmail now sync with out errors.
I was thrilled to fix it and wanted to post for others who may be in the same issue.
Mods, if this needs to go to another section please move. Wasn't sure where to post this.

Not sure if you read the whole post, but by removing battery optimization from Gmail solved the issue. I'm not trying to say I have an issue. I'm sharing the solution in case anyone else is having that same issue.

Fully read your post. I had the same issue and for that reason I tried several mail clients.
Since several months I am using Aquamail. IMO better than Gmail. Aquamail has more options and is flexible and important for me there is a dark theme. That's my solution and like to add it to your nice post.
