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

Another solution?

HTC Peep login problem

Anyone else having problems with HTC Peep? I can't get it to login to any twitter account, just gives me a login failed (wrong username password type message).
Also use moTweet with no such problems (but would like to use Peep too to stay logged into one account)
It did work once, but not for a week or so now.

yea im getting that too. I think its part of the general network problems that constantly afflict this buggy phone :-(
I get mail connection issues while opera works fine.. I am starting to think it might be something to do with the way the programs call the network interface in WinMo.

I had a Google around and it seems some Android users were getting some similar problems with Peep in Sense UI. Wonder if it's more to do with the Peep app rather can a network issue?

Anyone else getting this problem?
Appreciate if you use Peep and it's working you post a reply too (realise that many others will be using other twitter apps instead due to peep being a little limited in functions)

Hi,
I am on vodafine UK and peep works without any issues on my HD2. On hero, Peep works on wifi as and other networks but does not work on Vodafone UK(regardless of the AP settings).
Vodafone is not blocking the ports, however they are certainly manipulating the incoming data to the devices. Some applications get affected from this process. While there might be other work arounds, I have noticed that using SSL for web requests in the applications resolves issues. For instance, an application I was working on was working ok on wifi deserializing json data from the server but it was failing to do so on Vodafone data connection. Using https instead of http on the server fixed the issue. Of course, this is a fix that need to be applied within the application.

I had the issue with mine too so I created new account on twitter. After sucessfull login there I went back and all was ok. (It is the trick found by some1 else here...)

I've had it not work a couple of times, but 99% of the time it works all the time

it only works with my vodafone if I disable the proxy.. otherwise it only works with wifi..
but when I switch from wifi to 3G, the first time the applications try to connect again.. also weather etc. I get a connection error, althought the 3G/H icon flashes. also after a reboot.. but when I try to connect again it works fine..
not a real problem as I hardly use wifi on it as the 3G connection is really fast and at home the computer is always on and within reach..
when you disable the vodafone proxy, you won't be able to get in the live portal site and/or use those services.. but who cares about that..
generally this fixes a lot of things in the phone, as everything connects to "The Internet" by default. But the vodafone automatic settings screw them up. With the proxy disabled the The Internet account works again and this means it will use wifi when it's on, if not it will use 3G. With the proxy disabled you can also set your mail accounts to "The Internet" instead of "Vodafone live!" and it can receive mail over wifi and 3G.

I tihnk mine worked with T-Mobs 1.43 ROM, but since using 1.61 (and a dabble with 1.48) mine only connects to Twitter through WiFi, not through GSM or 3G. The same is true for MSN messenger too.

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)

WOHOO!!!!

Have Twitter changed something recently? I used to be able to connect using Tweetdeck & Digsby on my PC, as well as the HTC Peep app and moTweet.
No it seems I can only be logged on with one of these applications, or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.... deffo wouldnt work on HTC HD2 until I logged out of my PC app.

thanks for the post. glad that you ve solved it. didnt work for me I use htc hd2 in Turkey, with Turkcell. I ll post the solution too if I hopefully find it...

TMOUS unfortunately, there is no UPDATE DATABASE, in my data connections.

may sound stupid, but this happens to Peep if you ever used Opera Mobile 10 for Twitter. Solution: log in to Twitter via OM10 and force manual logout there. Peep should be OK afterwards.

i don't find those controls. I changed my password on Twitter, then tried again via Peep. I did this while on mobile network (wifi turned off). Now all is fine on wifi and 3G.

This solution worked for me too, but i'm now back to my original problem, which is that when i tell htc peep to update... it restarts sense. I cannot for the life of me fathom how this is even possible.

Guys - check out this thread

It's obviously an HTC Peep issue as many have installed other Twitter clients and they're working OK.
EDIT: I tried schnooller's advice (above) and logged OUT of Twitter.com using Opera on my HD2. Closed Opera, then relaunched Peep..and it's all working fine now

hello
i also have same probs it shows account is forbidden in htc hd2
any body have solution.

How to completely turn off data services?

Soooo i have been playing with my HD2 too much and now my mobile internet usage is close to my monthly limit.
I switched off weather, facebook & microsoft exchange active sync and switched off data services to Off in wireless controls under settings. But somehow the phone is still initializing data connection and have data coming in/out.
Is there anyway to turn off data services completely??

There is an answer for this one (one of the possible ways) on HTC official suport page under FAQ. Sorry but i can't post an external link due to spam prevention.

Kill one letter from your providers accessname. Like vodafone.de = vodafone.d If you need the access later, add the letter again.

That will give you error messages all the time though.
Go:
Windows Key
Settings
Wireless Controls
Menu (at the bottom right)
Connections
Advanced (Tab)
Select Networks (Button)
Then change "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network"

or try this one wich is working perfectly for me
go to Settings - Wireless Controls-[put 3G and Data Connection Off]
then open BsB Tweaks-Menu-Data Connection-Tick Disable in here
then restart the phone and you never use data again appart of you WiFi

HTC Peep (twitter tab in sense) "network not available"

Hi,
I've used the twitter tab for a while now. However, since last week (11 feb) everytime I try to do something (update, post, upload a pic etc.) I get the following error (translated from dutch):
"Download error: the network is temporarily not availale. Try again?"
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I also tried logging off, but when I log on I get the following error: "Login error: connection error during logging in"
Now that I think of it, this was about the same time that I changed from my old provider (also 11 feb) to my new one... Mobile internet still works fine though.

reboot the phone, does it work now?

Two things to try:
1) Update your connections database
2) Switch off the proxy on your data connection.
Are you on T-Mobile UK, if so I was in the same boat and these are the two steps needed to fix the problem for me.

Ofcourse I've tried that several times.
I've just fixed it myself. Here's what I did (based on
this thread)
1. Update the database in settings->wireless->data connection->menu->update database
2. Apply new settings
3. Go to settings->wireless->menu->connections->proxy server and uncheck "This network uses a proxy server"
4. Reboot
I could then finally use twitter

I needed to do something like that indeed. I'm using Vodafone NL though.

you have the same error that i have! i am using Hi NL. but sometimes it works, after about trying for 4,5 times i get the new tweets. i think it has something to do with the ammount of tweets it stores, when it was fresh the updating happened verry fast, after a while when it starts to build up it becomes slower and slower.. and eventually i got errors just like you.
Maybe there is a possibility to limit the ammount of tweets stored? maybe that would help..
btw i do NOT have a proxy setting enabled.

it seems to have improved a little after uninstalling wmlife.. maybe you have that too?
