HTC Peep

since the new twitter policy rolled out yesterday, does anyone if there will be an update for Peep?

Per a tweet from HTC themselves last night, Twitter is actually working on an update for the HTCPeep app and several other mobile clients, that is supposed to fix the issues follwing the API change the other day.

MoTweets is currently the only app that works with the new authentication (that i'm aware of). 3-4 bux on windows marketplace.

Or you can download the free ad-supported cab here. Yes, it has ads but their not all over the place. I don't even notice them.

I really dont see how Twitter is working on this, unless HTC shipped them the source code to Peep and is making them rewrite it? yeah right!
There's really nothing that Twitter has to do from their end, HTC needs to rewrite the authentication portion of Peep. The only possible thing Twitter could do is reenable Basic Auth, which im sure they will not do, atleast not on a permanent basis. If Twitter was feeling kind they could reenable Basic Auth for another week or 2, give the developers of all those twitter clients that window to get their clients supporting OAuth, then cut off Basic Auth again.
This whole problem is HTC's fault, Twitter notified developers MONTHS ago that this change was going to be taking place. In fact the change was originally supposed to happen back in June or July and was pushed back to give developers more time to get their clients updated

I would agree, but from the sound of the message, they're doing it to re-enable more mobile clients than just HTC's, so maybe there'll be a basic auth "bridge" for just mobile clients..? I don't know any more details than that, but HTC did firmly put the issue in Twitter's lap with that announcement

+1 LOL yes, I do agree that motweets is still the best WM twitter client available (especially after yesterday!). However, if TweetDeck would ever come out with a WM client, I have a feeling that would be even better

thanks for the replies, fellas.

Suspiciously my Motweets won't retrieve my timeline today and I think the last time I used the program was Monday and it worked fine. Ha. Did I speak too soon?

I'm all about some TweetDeck. Adobe is working on a port of "Air" for Android, which is really promising for TweetDeck in the future. However, I have a hard time believing that Adobe would work too hard on Windows Mobile, especially since Windows Phone 7 has just been RTM'd.
On the bright side, I'm digging me some Motweets. I really like the whole pic preview thingy, even TweetDeck isn't doing that yet! I still miss being able to tweet from a tab though. HTC is not going to waste time working on HTC Peep, especially when they also have Windows Phone releases on the way.
I feel like I am holding a sparkling, beautiful machine that was seriously outdated the day I bought it. Twitter's switch to OAuth is just another sign that Windows Mobile and the associated apps are on a fast track to the great recycle bin in the sky.
Oh, and if any of you are interested, there is a way to get in on the Adobe Air Android Pre-release program right now. Testing phase only, but it's gonna be awesome

one thing that REALLY bugs me about motweets, for selecting a photo to upload it uses the windows mobile thumbnail view which takes FOREVER to load and thumbnail pics. the thumbnail view used throughout sense is much much faster!
I tend to upload a lot of photos to twitpic/twitter and it annoys the hell out of me

htc peep does not work we can do or any solution for this problem

Google free rom????

Hello.
I am interested in a highly secure Rom for the evo. I would like it to be free of Google or anyother corporately monitored system. real opensource experience free of all this monitoring and tracking and data minning. Maybe with a nice user friendly firewall for all connections. how about built in 512 bit encryption. For private txt messaging.
Let's hear from the community on this.

I may be wrong but... Evo is an Android phone... Android = Google. I don't think you'll have much luck getting a Google free Android phone.

Umm don't listen to anyone who previously posted. You could easily use CyanogenMod with out Google apps to do this. You would be missing the market and any standard app that has the word Google before it like Google maps, but I guess now you could use the Amazon market anyway.

sorry quoted wrong guy but yeah if he is lucky and doesnt brick.

Finally someone smart in this thread.
Any ASOP ROM which doesn't include GAPPS like cyanogyn mod or deck's ASOP rom will do this (minus the sms encryption) as long as you don't flash the GAPPS add ons or enable my location.
I really hate when people act like experts, but don't know what their talking about.

I don't think you're going to find this for the EVO, although I imagine there's a phone out there somewhere that you can accomplish this with.

When you say free of google what do u mean?? Evo runs android, android is created by Google. There is no way you could have android without Google. If you mean Google apps, as someone else said just run cyanogenmod without GAPPS. You wont be able to do much, won't even be able to load apps that aren't preinstalled.

It wouldn't be anymore secure than the current version of Android being ran (which he mentioned and is apparently worried about).. but as far as all the 'monitoring and tracking' and what not, I mean, sure. But what would be the point? Seems like a pretty half assed Android experience.
There is only so much that can be done without the use of, say, GApps ... might get the job done but would essentially kill the idea of even owning said phone.

Obviously the OS is made by Google, but I don't think that's what he meant. I think he means a rom which won't constantly sync with google's servers.
Also, you CAN sideload apps without market or GAPPS installed, the trick is just to find the .apk files somewhere other than google market, but most are on either amazon market or Edit, so again another WRONG piece of info given out here.

Although I wouldn't do it myself, I can see the point. You would have way better battery life without the constant syncing. Also takes much less ram. Not everyone cares about sync with gmail, contacts, and calendar. Some just want a nice smooth OS. It would be more secure, because everything wouldn't go through google's servers.

Seriously? This is like asking for the competitor iPhone and not wanting Apple to make it. If you didn't want a Google phone then why did you buy a phone with software developed by Google? Please don't tell me you Yahoo'd your phone. That would just be an Epic Fail!

Actually it's more like having an iphone and not paying for mobile me. But in this case it's a better situation because you wouldn't have to register with google to get the apps (get them somewhere else as I suggested previously), like you would have to with apple.

I get the 'tracking' and what not ... but no one is really 'tracking' you. Recorded, maybe. But what does that even really matter in the end?
I get that you want to point out that it can be done, and others were wrong, but it was a silly question none the less.
And, sure, of course - less RAM. And no syncing? Could always disable. But freeing up RAM and what not? Running a smooth experience? It's not going to be that much smoother than should you elect to NOT use proprietary apps. It's not going to be a 'night and day' thing.
I'm more or less curious what the OP wants to do with his phone. Yeah, getting apps from other avenues is always a possibility ... sure. But getting apps from outside of the Market isn't going to offer less system stability, or smoothness, as opposed to getting them from the market.
Sure, I suppose it could be done ... but what are you trying to do? And, as said, it's only as secure as the latest version of Android ... which is constantly facing security issues.
It was sort of a silly post. Gotta admit that much.

I dislike the inbox subfolders view on top. Should've been an option to disable this.

It's pretty bad the stock email app sucks for exchange. I use touchdown for exchange which works awesome. It's pretty expensive but I got it from amazon app store last year sometime when it was on sale for $7.

Exchange bypass for MM?

Anybody know a working exchange pin bypass method for marshmallow? Either a flashable zip or xposed module would work for me!
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Last I checked the bypass doesn't work in xposed for MM. it looks like cgomez updated his thread to include exchange 5.0 but again not sure if it will work with MM.
since going with Nine, i haven't looked back. plus the fingerprint scanner makes it super easy to access my work email and none of my notifications are blocked, which was the part i hated about using exchange.

Instead of bypassing Exchange - Why dont you try Nine Email app, it integrates well with Fingerprint, Native Calendar & also has no issues with MDM tools.

Mailwise has bypass pin option built in. Not sure if it works with MM, though, as I also switched to Nine.

Agree 100% with the Nine suggestions. Absolutely perfect, and worth every penny.

Using Nine for the last week or so, definitely my favorite exchange app...company is going to implement AirWatch next month so I emailed the dev and they sent me a full rundown of how to use Nine with MDM. Super responsive.

If using Nine with MDM, make sure you use Application level security its under settings. Makes your life so much easier.

Anyone else nervous about new Google Assistant?

The pixel seems like I good phone but I'm a little apprehensive about the new assistant app. I'm sure it will arrive on all phones eventually. I really don't want google to always know where I am, how long i was there, where I'm eating, if I'm moving around, what I'm buying, watching on tv, and searching for. Full access to my texts, emails, and friends. Best case scenario is they use/sell all my life's info to a marketing company. They should call the app Snowden assistant. My life is boring, but they don't need to know that. Google is becoming too invasive just to change your money into consumer products. And all Nouget kernels are locked, so without a leak, you become a Google Ad Slave without any self protection. I don't like it.

if you think that's bad it get worse i call tmobile yesterday wifes phone. acting up
they new everything that was on and how many pictures were on phone and the list goes on .they same said 1st issue you have developers on which is bad second that wifi was on and needed to be off for more diagnostic. so any way don't be too worried of google as tmobile also knows what's on your phone

This is why I personally feel root should be option on all devices. Are we to trust all the hands in our private cookie jars? I personally feel more secure with my control of my device than with large companies that are constant targets of hackers. I'm glad we have more control over what apps can access in android 6 and and 7, but still no real control what the carriers and their friends can access about our lives and what they do that info. It will be interesting to see if people end up caring enough about their privacy or maybe I'm just being too sensitive about it.

Indeed. I have the unlocked S7 Edge .. no carrier or Samsung bloat installed. This Big Bro crap is just that .. crap. They also load up a diag process as part of the MyTmobile app. You don't opt out of their network testing and disable that process .. it will eat your network connection and system resources. It hit my Note 7 and made it unusable for 40 minutes. I noticed the data arrows going mad and figured this was the problem. It was. I disabled all the TMO software and this separate process and everything was good .. then recall. Not a good month all the way around.

Don't worry, Google Assistant is exclusive to Pixel phones. Google probably doesn't need Assistant to know everything about you anyhow.

And once the Pixel folks have worked out the kinks by beta testing it .. it'll get pushed out to everyone.
Anyone who thinks the Pixel will sell enough to make it work Google doing it as an exclusive feature is just nuts. Also, the folks who created Siri just got bought by Samsung so most likely by summer '17 we'll all be saying "Hey, Viv!" and all that silliness.

Well, when you first get the phone, at the beginning the t-mobile app ask if you give them permission to collect data to "easily diagnosed" issues on your phone ...you have the option of denial or acceptance on that....or you also can disable the t-mobile app on app manager

Well at least Google gives their customers the options to turn off all of that... you just need patience to go over and READ descriptions of every single option...Google puts everything there for ppl to choose...it's just ppl are too lazy lol

What's irritating me, and I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but ever since Google stated only the Pixel would have this feature, Google Now has been crippled on Samsung phones. Used to get news, all sorts of info, now when I go to Google Now, I only get the sports teams I follow and location based stuff. I think Google is pulling a stunt to push people to the Pixel. Not cool.
