Even if the cab was released, I'm pretty sure it checks your phone number anyway, considering the way the browser works is completely server side.

Here is your cab and all I did was use the search function... You should try it!!!! 10th tab from the left and 3rd from the right!

As mentioned above, you need to be registered for the beta and they are the ones that allow you to use it.

i'm near fed up with the skyfire beta.
i signed up January 28 (day ONE!) at about 3pm, and still have not receieved an invitation to the beta. They claim to be going first-come, first-serve, but if that's the case, a hell-of-a-lot of people signed up within hours of hearing about it.

They just sent me an update email, saying they'll try to get everyone in Beta 1 by the end of April.
Also, I see no reason to be fed up, considering they're providing you this service. They don't actually owe you anything, let's remember.

ummmm...... yea what he say
he really does have a point tho

Ive had the software for a little over 2 weeks now and unfortunetely im extremely unimpressed. The software is incredibly slow on my mogul. The only plus side I have to using this software is to watch you tube videos which Core Player already does in a much easier to usse interface. I'll get back to it once Beta 2 rolls around.

i also signed up on the first day and just got invited to use it a few days ago. i wouldn't worry too much, as mentioned before its really not that good. picture this... remote desktop on someone elses server, with sound, thats it. Its no opera mini, but its coming along slowly. Honestly its really not worth waiting for until version 1.0, and their on .5 still.

I got my invite about a week ago. And btw, i am from Finland. So they now allow non-us people too.
I love it. It's slow to browse but:
- Internet map-services work! A local one has sharper satellite pictures
- I can wach CNETTV.com! Picture isnt that good but audio comes always clear. (it also saves the zoom location on bookmarks. So i just click the bookmark and watch)
- Internet radio stations work! The ones that are flash. (like http://www.finetune.com/wii/ )
- I noticed that it also has atleast .wmv plugin installed on the server-side. So you can play direct-video links too.

I've had it for about 2 weeks, and I think it definitely will be the best browser when all the bugs are worked out. It can render basically any page on the internet perfectly. If you go to Youtube, for instance, it looks as if you went there in IE or Firefox on your regular computer. All of the flash stuff works. Google maps? Yes, you can use street view mode, and it's pretty snappy too.
It has two modes for touch input, which I will call cursor mode and hand mode (that's what the icons look like). This way, you can decide if you want to pan the entire webpage with hand mode or if you want to interact directly with a zoomed in flash applet with the cursor mode.
I signed up for the beta a few months back.

Over at this 31 page thread, you can gauge your sign up times with other users, and guess where you are on the list. Skyfire is just going in order of people who signed up, and it looks like they are still sending out invites to people who signed up on the first day still, jan 28th!
There is more info throughout

yes i have it and you cant get it ...j/k.....its a good browser but I have some reservations..one security....logging into sites that require passwds is not recommeneded with the browser as it is not secure....and the whole video thing is cool but its like logging into my pc using logmein and watching video...choppy....but I think the will improve on it...my 2 cents

peep - "account was forbidden to access the twitter service" ?

I'm signed in fine, can view "my profile" and post a "new tweet" but when I try to "update now" it displays the message...

I've tried signing out and in again on the HD2 and checked on twitter.com itself to confirm that "HTC Peep" is approved on the "connections" tab.
Any ideas please?
I have an o2 HD2, rom version 1.43.206.4

do you find the answer?

account was forbidden to access the twitter service
I'm also getting the same error.
I can update post and profile but can't do "update now".
Any help is appreciated.
Mine is HD2 ROM v 1.66.707.1 WWE

Kwanice, apologies for the delayed response, have been away from keyboard.
My issue was due to using a (standard UK keyboard) character in my Twitter password that was accepted via Twitter and web browsers but I can only presume not recognised by HD2/Peep.

lol ok
i think i have a problem because i've created a .reg files to insert automaticaly my account name and password...and it's not really good lol
so i need to erase the twitter account to created a new one..:s
thanks

Twitter has stopped using regular http auth and now uses oauth which Peep (htc twitter app) does not support. So... until whoever makes Peep updates it with support for oauth, you need another twitter app... Simple fact.

Is any Twitter app working? I tried moTweets and PockeTwit and doesnt work...

Peep is outdated and useless, HTC failed to update it.
Is anyone else having problems with the phone in general that started today out of no where? I am, my device is bugging out like it hasnt in months and it has all conincided with the HTC Peep failure, its somehow messing up sense to me and that is creating issues as I navigate all apps in Sense.
My phone wont even boot up now, black screen, think I will have to hard reset. I hate this phone and HTC its a comedy of errors.
If I allow the screen to go black, it wont wake up from sleep now. Great.

I am also having the same issue. I'm with T-Mobile and I've been seeing this error all day today

same here, started today
i dont have any other problems

Go to settings/personalize/Home screen tabs and disable the htc peep tab. If you have it set for auto updates it is going to lock up sense anytime it tries.
here's the scoop:

this is annoying now im gonna have to write my own app bummer is it probably wont be as nice

Having the same problem... Live in Sweden and run Three as operator..

Got the same problem here, but I was able to use Kinoma Play, going to try find some free programs later.

Got the same here (the netherlands) Did nothing out of the ordinary, just pressed "update now" or whatever it is called in English ("nu bijwerken" in dutch). Doesn't it just go away if i wait a bit?

well for my case: I updated my Tilt 2 with the official ROM update released by HTC a day or two back. Sens UI 2.5 obviously. Worked great, tho a bit sluggy. a couple tweaks fixed that. Peep actually worked till just after midnight (think 1, 2 am; from like 8 or 9 pm when i did the ROM Flash) i started it was having less and less sucess updating to the point that i couldn't download (error messages showing) updated once more by miracle and early afternoon (something like 1 pm today) started showing me that precise message:
Download Error
The account was forbidden to access the twitter service.
Hope HTC or Twitter gets on this because PockeTwit has been giving me problems too lately: communication error and now tells me of incorrect credentials or Network unavailable.

Wow, crazy you mentioned this. Starting late last week, Sense UI started goofing up and freezing on me shortly after turning the phone on, even after rebooting. It was driving me nuts the entire day.
I ended signing out of Twitter and concluded the issue was with twitter. I then ended up deleting the "db" and "cache" folders in the My Device > Temp > TwitEng directory.
I was fine the past few days up until today when I started getting the error in this thread. I again had to delete the "db" and "cache" folders as my Sense UI started goofing up again.
I see that Twitter is now using Oauth instead of http which explains the error. I kinda like Peep so hopefully HTC updates...
For now, I'm using Azurea as my Twitter client which seems to be working okay.

Twitter Client Alternative
Well, so far it is evident that the current Peep is no longer useful... We'll have to wait till HTC releases a patch for it.
Till then any other suggestions for twitter clients that work with the Oauths..
MoTweet worked..but TouchTwit fails..

on my samsgung galaxy S everything it´s working fine, but not on my HD2

On my HTC HD2: Peep not working as mentioned. Is there any indication of HTC updating Peep? Or should we switch to an other twitter app entirely? Too bad though, the Twitter home tab looked awesome.

t-mobile branded weather problem

My mega is t-mobile branded and the weather is not showing on home screen. its just asking to update but it's not updating. i tryied to update by official htc fix but it faults on %4. And maybe anyone knows how to change default t-mobile internet browser to opera 10

Hey

i found the weather didnt update untill i used it

just that the weather on the homepage of my touchflo didn't update untilI ran the quickgps app

Weather application is not linked to quick GPS but HTC location service.....assume you have enabled that... btw it is not a very stable program
Sometimes you have to update more than ones......and finding your current location with google maps helps.....

have ur ISP settings set to ur mobile operator , connect to update , just for 1 second and turn it of , i mean the connection , update QuickGPS and try again .... i'm not really sure if this helps but everytime i do somethin in my internet settings , the Weather tab resets it's places hope it updates properly now !

still nothing.
couple months ago i downloaded some file from xda which fixed this problem, but now i done hard reset and i can't find it anymore on xda

I've sent 2 times a support form to t-mobile in germany, asking if they would be delivering the weather fix for the german market... so far no answer. The first time was right after the fix was posted by htc in December, the second time I posted this was a week ago.
No answer whatsoever.

And may be they wont do it mate.

Quite propable, that they won't do it. The same behaviour has been with other german t-mobile branded phones - too much hassle to properly test patches etc, with no real possibilities that it would bring money in.
I'll follow the hspl stuff how it advances and after some observation period will flash myself too.
After all I've been flashing my Blackstone and Kaiser for a while, so this is not a big issue. My wife is using the phone and she doesn't have the "same urge" to have her phone flashed

whoa. just having said that previous thing... going to the ROM section and finding out, that T-Mobile has released a new ROM just today

HTC Tweet

Could any of you new T-mobile owners let us know if the twitter app still has the bug where it never deletes tweets.....rendering it fairly useless.

yes im interested in that too, i would like to see if there is an updated version.. its badly needed.
There is however a fix to manually delete the tweets from time to time.. i do this about 1s a month and it stays fast (dont follow a lot of ppl tho)

Yes i know about the manual delete but its a pain, im noticing slow down after only 4 or 5 days. maybe I should turn auto update off. I have actually ditched it for the time being and am using motweet which is actually very good even the free one (with adverts) however this renders another sense tab useless. Has anyone developed a cab that will allow us to remap the sence tab to a different program?

Same here, made a topic about this a few weeks ago.
Mind telling me the manual method of deleting tweets? I can't seem to find it on this forum... Also, will tweets still remain on the server or would this delete them permanently?

copy from someone else
1. turn off htc sense (I forget how. it's in settings)
2. sync your phone.
3. explore and go through these folders: temp >> twiteng.
4. delete the files in the twiteng folder.
Click to expand...

good luck, this will not delete anything from the twitter server, only ur local tweet cache

I wonder how hard it would be for a dev to write a cab that automated the process?

and maybe let that script automatic run according to a schedule.. that'd be nice.
however i dont think someone will make the time to make this since there are few people having this issue..

Thanks jamieeeee, now I see why the workaround is such a pain. It's still doable once in a while though.

yes a shedule would be good, Although i would be happy for it to run every couple of days deleteing everything over 24 hours old.
Have started a thread in the apps forum to see if there is any interest. I cant really understand why there isnt more people having this issue, I can only presume not many win mobile users are twitter users. For me Intergrated twitter was one of the reasons i bought the HD2, was also a little dissapointed that it didnt integrate tweeters with contacts like it does with facebook. to me twitter is a much more obvious social networking platform for mobile than facebook is.

Well that attracted bugger all responces, looks like i will be sticking to motweet.

I'm about to buy one, what do you mean buy this? How does never deleting tweets render it useless?
Can you send them and it posts to the site?

yeah you can send tweets without any problem (at least i can)
the mistake HTC made is not having a maximum number of tweets in the tab.. that means it keeps downloading new one's and never throws out any old one's.. you can do the math.. it gets slower and slower till its unusable

HTC HD mini-clock problem

When clocks turn back the time I got back to the hurt I am going to swallow the clock forward 1hr automatic as some newly self forward is going to hurt a certain time

Guess it would be easier to give advice if we could understand what the **** you were saying!

Time Change
His problem is the change to the Wintertime. Since them the clock always is one hour later.
I have the same problem and no solution .
I would like to stop the automatic time change.
found a Solution here.

Well they're slightly different because of the HTC Sense and the Windows version, but in the Mini the steps are:
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".

I have an issue with the clock as well... Ai just got the phone yesterday.
Actually, during the day at the office, the time changes several time by one hour forward... so suddenly after the time was OK in the morning, around 5 PM it showed 11 PM. What do I need to change so the time stays the same? (in the night it went back by one hour, so the alarm woke me up one hour earlier than it should have...wrrr ;-)

BSB tweaks
I am using BSB tweaks, there is option Auto sync clock - just switch off this parameter, it working perfectly. Milan

Actually, when I am at home and have athe autosync on, the time does not change. As soon as I am moving around, the time changes (even though the auto sync is off then). It seems that it changes when the network changes while moving around. When travelling in roaming this weeknd, the time moved forward by 26 hours in just one hour while travelling in a bus.

Thanks, but that's the same solution posted above. What we are trying to fix now is how can we have the time sync activated
bagalk, mine hasn't gone that far, but is definitely a nice bug from HTC. I wonder it the clock will work properly when they change the time again in March or April

solution
As a colleague was having the same problem I looked around for a solution. Having found nothing that appeared to work I looked to the HD2 which runs a similar software setup. This is what I found (I can't post the URL so must simply copy & paste from the original page)
Hey kids
This was irritating me too, I assumed it was not a phone issue but, I contacted HTC yesterday & their reply is as follows, there are 2 steps to perform. I did this last night & so far the phone has been perfect:

Dear Stuart
This is not a fault with the device or its software, your device updates its time automatically from the Internet and from your mobile provider.
Occasionally there is a difference in the time from the Internet and the time from your provider which can cause the time to appear to be changing when it should be the same.
Normally this will resolve itself within a few days, however, this is very inconvenient so we recommend to disable any automatic time updates on your device.
This will not effect your sync with other things like Exchange and similar
From the Home screen tap:
Start - Settings - Data services - Time synchronization - Untick all here.
AND
Start - Settings - Menu - All settings - Personal/Private - Phone - GSM & UMTS Services - Time synchronization - Get settings - Untick all here.
Sincerely,
Adrian

Hello Dear

there's an update on the HTC official mini support page, it supposedly fixes the problem with daylight saving. haven't tried it yet though
