Problem with Twitter app Peep

Am I just being a tool? (Don't answer that)
I can't seem to select a link in a tweet on the new HTC HD2 twitter app in Sense. If it try to select a link or twitpic it just brings up a menu asking if I want to reply to the tweet. In other twitter clients it takes you to the picture or brings up the internet.
Also, it doesn't seem to be updating if I click 'Update now' in the menu. I just get a 'Download error'. It says it's connected to my HSDPA network

OK I might have just answered my own question
It appears you have to select the person and go to their profile, in there you can actually double click on the link and it takes you to Opera.
Still not sure about the 3g connection problem though.
Anyone else getting this?
Seems to work fine over wi-fi

Yes I experience the same problem when connected via 3G. Mine also works fine when connected to wi-fi too. Tried it again at the station this morning and again it failed to update or connect via 3G. Not sure what the problem is?!?

I have problem with posting to Twitter on wifi and on 3G (or GPRS), i dont know what was a problem, but after hardreset is it OK, only auto download doesnt work, manually updates, posting, profiles, everything OK on any connection (AS, WIFI,3G...)

tiny url not working
anyone has this problem?

Strange 'L' appeaiorng before url in Peep
Hi All
This is a bit strange. I'm using Peep and it's mostly OK. The only problem I'm experiencing is when I use the 'insert maplink' geo-tag feature...it shortens the url but puts an 'L' before the shortened url.
Example -
L:http://tinyurl.com/yd32dsm
If I then check it in Twitter, the addition of the 'L' stops the link being clickable. It doedn't seem to matter which shortening service I use
Obviously, I can manually remove the 'L' from Peep before updating, but it's a bit of a pain. Anyone else getting the same problem?
Cheers
Steve

Nope not getting that problem on Geo tagging I use TinyURL.
Ref opening links you can open them straight from twitter feed but you have to be exact where you press and just a quick tab not a long one. It can sometimes be annoying but I think I must just have the knack.Also opera being open quickens the process.

Hello,
I also see the problem with connecting to twitter. I have not tried over WLan but when I try over normal 3G I get an error that connection to twitter was not successful. I have typed the correct login credentials.
Very strange...

my issue is that i deleted a msg on my pc but it still remains in peep

This is the issue I have. With the stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM, Peep actually worked fine over GSM/3G and WiFi even though everything else on the phone was buggy, laggy and unstable.
Using 1.61 I now have the experience where Peep and MSN messenger will only connect through WiFi. If I try to connect with GSM/3G I get the connection error. Is this issue present in 1.48, as I'm thinking of giving that a try.

i also cannot connect over gprs, how strange.
has any fix been found yet?

Thats a general twitter thing, I think. I've seen a lot of apps behave like that

Same problem here!
It worked once or twice but generally it doesn't. Really annoying as it is one of the features I would like to use most.

Wohoo!!! Fixed it. The key is that you need to update the connections database, reboot and THEN disable the proxy.
1) Goto Settings > Wireless Controls > Tap Data Connection (the label, not the switch)
2) Tap menu, then Update Database
3) Follow the instructions and then OK the reboot.
4) Once restarted, goto Settings > Menu, All Settings. Then Connections, Connections again, then Set up my proxy server.
5) Disable the proxy and you're all set.
WOHOO!!!!

Not working

Not working for me.
Another solution?

Internet tab default browser

Is it possible to set other browser instead of htc browser for default when you use shortcut in internet tab?

Yes, go to start - internet explorer - menu icon - tools - options - other and tick 'tell me if internet explorer is not the default web browser.
Now exit internet explorer, and now restart internet explorer again, and it will say 'not the default, would you like to set as default' choose yes, and now the web page of manila will open internet explorer instead of opera.

Thanks for answer
Well, my default browser is opera, but when using internet tab opera doesnt get opened.
I would like to set opera as the default one, but in settings it is...I don't know why only internet tab doesnt open opera?

Hmm, not so sure. Try the oposite of mine, to UNTICK internet explorer as default, and then do something similar in opera - opera - menu - settings - advanced - tick set opera as default.
Try turning on and off default, as it may just need to reset itself as default

[Q] Default web browser.

Hi,
My SGS default browser always shows The web page is not available error msg.
I tried after reset browser settings. still the same error msg.
But Opera mini is working fine.
so, How to change my default web browser as Opera mini? or
Any idea to correct my default browser settings.
I am using 2G data connection only.

did you install a custom ROM, or some other hack related type of software?
also check and make sure to remove any PROXY settings

browser cant connect trough mobile data

i'm having the strangest problem, my browser cant connect using mobile internet, but it works perfect on wifi. opera works fine via mobile or wifi, so does market. i've read some similar forums which suggest the problem is in proxy settings, which i cant find.
i've tried reflashing prety much everything, so any suggestion would be most appreciated.
edit:
i figured it works in stock rom, but doesnt work in cm or wildpuzzle. i did a format od system/data/cache/sd and it still doesnt work. i tought it had sth to do with google backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867143), but it doesnt seem so, because it still didnt work after clean install wothout syncing to google at all.
is there any similar config tool in android btowser to about:config in mozilla?

Do you use 3G internet or only edge?

found the problem...
it was the proxy in apn what caused trouble. but it was way stupid situation. 1stly, apns are auto downloaded from network in my case, and as such i treated them as correct. and 2dly, i tried to clear that exact same proxy before, but it didnt cross my mind i have to reboot when i changed something as simple.
the cause of some apps still working and others didnt was probably that the ones which worked didnt use proxy at all.
anyways, problem solved, me happy. thanks for help...

I replied to a similar problem on this forum some time ago. Maybe it would apply to other people having similar issues.
was having a similar problem yesterday after I upgraded the OS on my phone.
Let me describe what I am using:
HTC Glacier with Cyanogen 7 ROM including Google Apps.
I installed TransProxy 3.08beta and a few other applications, made some config changes, enabled / disabled proxy a few times and later on the browser application that was included with the ROM would not connect to 3G data. It was working fine on WiFi. However Opera worked fine on either. Also other apps like market worked fine.
This is what fixed it for me:
1. Disable proxy in TransProxy
2. Create a shortcut for system proxy settings on home screen:
long press on home screen > custom shortcut > pick your activity > activities > settings > Proxy Settings(.ProxySelector)
3. Open proxy settings using the shortcut
4. Clear settings using 'Clear' button
5. Save
After this the browser started connecting to 3G data.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Proxy is a host through which you can access a particular network (in this case internet) from your device. Your device can be a phone or a pc or a tablet or anything that needs to connect to this network. If proxy settings are configured on your phone then the phone will always try to access the internet through that proxy host, even if direct connection is possible. After clearing those proxy settings, my problem was resolved.

Stock browser question

I have checked the Tab at local BB, in stock browser when you go to settings - advanced settings- page content settings there is no line User Agent Settings - decide how your browser is identified by Web servers. I have this line on my Asus Transformer, isn't this part of the honeycomb? or did Samsung removed this for any reason? Web sites are loading automatically in mobile mode? (this was confirmed in 2 BB stores on 2 different Tabs) Weird... Anybody has any answers?

On the 10.1 its not in the general setting tab. You will to go into the debug mode. On the address bar type about:debug. Then you go into setting and there will be another setting call debug. Its in there.

Both the Xoom and Galaxy Tab you have to enable debug mode to see that setting. ASUS was pretty cool by apparently making a tweak so the setting was always visible.

Deleted this

i read somewhere that 3.1 took care of the mobile browsing. 3.0.1 always sent me to mobile sites. 3.1 hasn't yet.

3.1 is sending me to the mobile site for pocketnow and engadget.
when I type about:debug, nothing happens
EDIT: Nevermind.. you can go to Settings > Debug > UAString and select "Desktop"..
