Hello everyone,
So far I have seen many people having off and on trouble with HTC Peep (Twitter tab in HTC Sense).
I wanted to create this to gather all the information and list a few different fixes that have worked for some people.
Specifically we are getting:
"There was a connection error while attempting to download tweets"
or
Issues actually entering the username and password.
Fixes so far:
Trying on only WiFi/3G (some people have it working on one and not the other)
Hard Reset (but sometimes only works for a couple of 'syncs')
Removing the login information from the registry
Making sure the Location settings are set
Using Dutty's 'Remove My Location' Tool
What have other people tried to get this working?
I found that using Dutty's tool worked, then it only worked on WiFi and now nothing again!

So setting the time correctly... can anyone define this? Syncing time with some server? I mean it's set to be the same as my PC time which syncs to time severs.

just need to adjust the time to the current time..and it will allows u to login without any problem.this way works for me.u can have a try on this.
It's making me mad! I have the latest dutty ROM (for topaz), tryed with other roms. It just says the same: error while connecting or after i login with wi-fi and then try with data connection it says network unavailable.
I installed duttys disable my location feature. Nothing...
Where in the registry are stored the login credetials an other settings? Do you have any idea what to try?
I tried to set up the clock correctly. It is correct (correct after what clock? ). Still nothing...
I found using the new EnergyROM on my Touch Pro2 works great. The Twitter engine was fixed up in the latest versions, works all the time now on 3G and WiFi.
I'm already using the latest version of manila 2.5 (19202525) but it just doesn't work. Did you do anything special? Like enabling my location or something...
I'm getting the same problem here on my HTC Topaz. Peep only connects through Wi-Fi and not through 3G. Is there a solution?
Kind regards,
Sander
I had the same problem.
I went under settings in manila and then Data services. Select the time sync one and turn off the Allow to use network value to update time.
Twitter was working and I turned the above on and twitter stops?
Anyhow the above worked for me. good luck
Background
Is it just me or is the TAB almost useless as the TEXT BOX for writing new PEEPS has black background? And when writing the text is blue so it almost impossible to see what you write....
Does any know of a solution?
I hope anyone can help me with the problems i am having with HTC Peep,
Some of the time it works fine while updating. other times i get a connection error.. but thats not the worst problem. i was wondering if anyone could help me find a register setting or tweak that would set a maximum limit to the amount of tweets in htc peep, the ammount of errors and loading time of the tab seems to increase when the ammount of tweets become more and more. for now the only solution i have found to speed it up again is hard reset and i dont like that if anyone could help me i would be really greatfull!

I've Already Fixed it...
Solved the problem...
Uncheck the Data services of twitter...
and then, check your Date and Time...
i tried to check the date is "My Locations" *i'm not input my city...
after that, i choose 12-Hours Time,Not 24-Hours Time...
i don't know which one the correct one...
but i changes that, after that my HTC PEEP came NORMALLY again....
to those of you who are still getting this error. mine error's where fixed after removing all of the auto disconnect data apps.. like wmlonglife
Have finally ditched Peep in favour of PockeTwit...
Today was the last straw. I had just installed a new Storage Card. Whether the problems with Peep stem from this or this was just coincidental I dont know.
It had been working fine for a month or so, until today.
But this is not the first time Peep has stopped working.
It gives me a combination of error connecting and incorrect username or password consistently.
In the past I was able to get it working by logging in with a new twitter account. Not this time though.
I have also tried:
- deleting all registry account settings for twitter - even deleted the registry keys in desperation and re-imported them.
- renewing the connection database.
- Checking the location and time settings.
All to no avail.
PockeTwit works perfectly - all the time, every time.
So I have removed the Peep Tab from the Sense UI until an update or new ROM comes out fixing the silly thing....
Life is too short to stuff around with this sort of bad programming.
There are too many tabs the sense UI in any case.
HTC Twitter login problem - what worked for me
I have a Sprint Rhodium with WM.6.5. My twitter tab kept giving me an incorrect login info message, even after several soft resets. I changed my password online, removed Twitter home tab, then replaced it after a soft reset. I was then able to login. I was very relieved I didn't have to hard reset or try registry changes.
I hope this works for someone else!
HTC Peep "All Tweets" Tab
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has been having the following problem with HTC Peep. IT loads fine, in the first screen I can read all my latest tweets. However, when I want to reply or press "All Tweets" the app goes to the next page and then freezes. This sometimes causes the whole telephone to hang and requires a soft reset. If I'm quick enough, then I can get out of the "All Tweets" screen and recover back to Sense.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Perhaps I just need to hard reset? Who can give me any handy tips? Thanks in advance!
The solution
Just put your proxyserver off, and Twitter wil work again.
"All Tweets" direct link?
Hi,
I am searching mad for o way to direct link the "All Tweets" button from a shortcut. So far i figured out that "All Tweets" is a manila subpage so the link should look like
"\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage twitter.page.something".
Can someone help me make this work?
I started having a problem with my twitter on my HD2. When i try to update, an error message comes up saying " The account was forbidden to access the twitter server!?". Has anyone had this problem before?
Please help, I was trying out a program called Toggle Data Widget, and I noticed that it wasn't working, so I uninstalled it. Now when I turned my phone on the data connection is gone. I tried reinstalling the app, and nothing happens. I don't know what to do, and I don't want to restore, because I haven't had a chance to back it up yet. Please help. Thanks a lot.
What do you mean the data connection is gone? Which icon would that be?
I mean the little 3G symbol is gone, nothing is there anymore, and when I try connecting, I get an error saying, "a network error has occurred."
Try reinstalling it, set the widget to where it is turned on, then just reboot the phone. I had it mess up a few times when I was trying that one out. I downloaded one called GT-Widget Data that works quite a bit better.
Thanks a lot, it seems to be working now. I wonder if I should try uninstalling it again.
You should be able to uninstall it safely now.
Most of the utilities to turn off 3G data mangle the access point settings that is stored in a database. When you uninstall the utilties with data disabled, they remain mangled.
Another way to fix it quickly btw is to just use Reset Default in the Captivate's Settings.
ok guys another weird issue here.
been running BR 1.6.3 for a while and finally got everything where I like it except now every time i reboot:
1. Facebook adjusts itself to "Do Not Sync". it sucks having to go through 60 contacts and link them all again
2. HTC (and a few other) Countdown widgets show up as "Problem Loading Gadget"
ive tried uninstalling/reinstalling facebook as well as clearing user data and signing in again. no luck there. Ive tried clearing dalvik cache, also no luck there. i tried copying the .apk's for the widgets and while they overwrote OK, it didnt solve anything.
should i do a clean wipe and flash BR again? id hate to go through all that setup and tweaking just to have nothing work again. kind of stumped here and search really didnt turn anything relevant up.
thanks in advance!
PS wont be needing my phone in 10 days (joining the Navy, hence the countdown lol) but in the meantime connecting with friends is a big deal since i wont be seeing them for about 8 months...please help!
well im an idiot.
solution:
make sure facebook and countdown widgets are not on SD card. problem solved.
i had changed my default install location to SD, i'll be leaving that as auto for now haha.
was also happening to me too
Preface: Yes, I've read a bunch of the other threads on this forum about this problem, but I've tried all the advice I've seen and this *still* isn't working.
So, I bought the Widgetlocker Lockscreen app from Market, and paid for it on my credit card. In Market, in 'My apps', it lists Widgetlocker Lockscreen, with 'Purchased' next to it. All the other (free) apps I have successfully downloaded and installed are listed there with 'Installed' next to them.
When I touch Widgetlocker Lockscreen, I get the Personalization screen. I press the 'Purchased' button, then the 'OK' button. This should cause the app to be downloaded and installed. When I press it, a message flashes up saying 'Your item will be downloaded.' Quite soon, in the notifications area, I see a progress bar with the text 'WidgetLocker Lockscreen' below, but this progress bar quickly disappears, apparently without the download having taken place. Just before it disappears, I see the text 'Download unsuccessful' for a split second below the progress bar. The app doesn't appear to be installed and is still listed as 'Purchased' rather than 'Installed' in the 'My apps' section.
I can still install other apps OK; I tried installing some free ones and they install fine. I tried clearing Market's cache (the clear data button is greyed out). I tried unmounting/mounting the SD card. I tried rebooting the phone. This problem still occurs.
Anyone have any idea what else I could do? This is still running on the stock firmware; I haven't rooted it or anything.
UPDATE: I retried the download & install a few days later and... it just worked! Glad I didn't perform a factory reset!
The moral seems to be that sometimes, Android Market screws up on Google's end and they forbid you to download certain apps. This is sucky, but it's not going to be fixed by your doing anything on your phone.
Have you tried downloading it on 2G mode, 3G mode, and WiFi mode? Failing all three, try installing it using the Android Market website on your PC.

Like GSM (E/G) and WCDMA (3G/H) and WiFi. Sometimes I find if a download doesn't work on 3G mode, I flip it over to GSM and it works, or WiFi etc. If not, since you just bought it, can you not refund the app and try from scratch?
How do you flip over to GSM?

Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
scroll down and "Set preferred network type", "GSM only"
Heh... that just kills off any connection whatsoever.
Does nobody have any idea how to solve this (or at least diagnose why on Earth the download is failing?!) I'm going to withhold payment for this app on my credit card if Google don't sort it out.
Have you tried new market and/or factory reset?

I don't understand what you mean by 'new market', and factory reset seems seriously drastic to fix this darn problem!

Before any resets try this;
Go into settings, then manage applications, then find the Market app on the list. Open it, force stop it, then clear cache, then clear data.
Go back to the marketplace. You'll have to accept the terms and conditions again, but see if that helps.

I'm guessing that you've re-started your device? EDIT: just re-read post #1
If advice from @wnp_79 above doesn't work...then
factory reset? - is unfortunately the next step as the Market is linked to your Google account which can only be removed and then re-added via a factory reset.

Isn't there some log I can use to get more detailed info on why the download was unsuccessful? I can't believe they don't log it somewhere for more useful analysis!

there may well be but i don't know it...I'm afraid.
How about installing appbrain application and installing that and then try downloading the problem application through that...all though I suspect that it will use the same mechanism....but worth a try.
Google have come back to me and told me to do a factory reset as well. This is infuriating, and I really don't want to do it because of a bug in ONE application - Google Market. It's not like there's widespread filesystem corruption or something, which in my mind would justify a factory reset.
I did some more investigation and installed (successfully! other apps install successfully!) the 'aLogcat' app. This gave me quite a bit of useful debug info when I tried to install Widgetlocker Lockscreen. I have the output saved to my SD card and will paste here when I get home from work, but basically it's very similar to the output listed here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android%20Market/thread?tid=0ffa4f4e6cedcfb8&hl=en
Seems like I'm not the only one having this problem. That was posted in 2010. Now seriously guys, are we still talking about a factory reset for a somewhat common bug in Android Market that has been known about for quite some time? I want to try and figure out what's going wrong here and FIX it instead. It looks like h ttps://android.clients.google.com/market/download/... is returning a 403 forbidden, which causes the main Android UI to display 'download unsuccessful'. Why is the download being forbidden?
Have you tried clearing market data yet?

For the Market app, the 'clear data' button is greyed out. It's always been greyed out whenever I've looked there.

try what @wnp_79 suggested in his original post, force close the application then you should be able to clear data and cache (at least that what I can do).

I think there's a problem market side so sit tight for now and don't fiddle. I also have a problem with an app (Titanium Back Up) refusing to update.
Try restart your phone. Maybe, that you have new market update waiting for installation.
I constantly have notifications from Download Manager of a file being downloaded. It never finishes and is there until I finally clear Download Manager's data. It will then go away until the next time when it's another file. The filenames change each time. Currently the file name up is image013.png but other times it's things like attachments in emails from my gmail. Tapping on the notification does nothing. Long pressing on it gives me the App Info option which then takes me to Download Manager's app info.
The app info has the option to not show notifications but then I wonder if this is a symptom of a problem and these would just build up.
Facing the same issue on my Z3 Dual.
It happened the first time I was on a roaming network.

i get the same issue as well. \hasn't really bothered me that much. however i noticed if im in an area with wifi, the notification goes away (with wifi on)
I'm also experiencing this and it's driving me nuts! I have not found a cause to this, but happy to see I'm not alone

Same with me Z3 Dual, for now I just stopped the downloading option from Gmail.
* Auto-download attachment to recent message via WI-FI , i switch it off.
The same problem with my z3 dual . Clearing your cache does not help. It is interesting that not every location it happens. The file that is downloaded is called "untitled"

I also did this some days ago and haven't had issues since then. I hope it is fixed in future updates.
I'm also having the same issue. Download Manager keeps trying to download something but I don't know what it is.
Mine says: "downloading_this_message_in_html.html"
When I go into Download Manager App Info, I can Force Close it. The button to Clear Cache is selectable but when I press it, it does nothing (there's no response).
----
I even tried Factory Reset using Sony's PC Companion on Windows but the issue is still there after I get the phone to what I want it to be.
----
My solution is to just Turn Off Notification for Download Manager App.
My concern is, I hope it's not draining any battery since it might be running in the background and I'm just not seeing it cause I have notification turned off.
SONY!!!! What the heck man!
THIS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!! Sony needs to get better QA testers.

Now that I think about it, I think the last time this happened to me I still had my D6633, I sold it and I'm using a D6603 for the past 3 weeks.
Does anyone know the most effective way to make Sony aware of this?
the Z3 dual isn't as visible as the other models as it is such a niche product, we have to make sure Sony gets wind of this, else further firmwares may not fix!
Same problem for me. Dual sim.
Any of you using an SD card?

Im having the same problem with my z3 dual. Its a never ending download. I went to the sony xperia official forum xperia care site. Brought up this problem. First they told me to clear cache. It didnt work . Next they told me to clear data. It stopped for awhile then it came back again. Next, sony support told me told re- format everything using a windows laptop...took a long time, it didnt work either. What i noticed is this problem occurs when im on 3g or lte network. When i turn on wifi...then the unending download stops. When i turn off wifi, and go back to 3g or lte, it starts again. It goes on a loop...its obviously a software problem...needs an update. Even sony care cannot solve. They have gone quiet since the last time i logged in...no answer til now...

I've tried doing that but the damned notification pops up again. I have for the moment turned off notifications from download manager. But I am sure it is working in the background trying to download random stuff. Anyone knows if there is a fix/update for this? Its driving me crazy.
