HTC Sense Twitter Tab (HTC Peep)

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?

does that include photo sync?

I've got the same problem with new contacts from facebook...the old ones seem to work...

Yep. Both photo contact sync and album sync are working. The latter sometimes shows empty pages but after waiting for a while and trying again, I can see all the pics of my contacts

Sorry, but just how to sync facebook with contacts ? I cant seem to find the key to get it to sync.

solved!
I've solved it now!!
It was actually a problem with the data connection.
Its weird because it was working fine for updating people's statuses....
anyways when i checked the connections tab in manila settings, the data was disconnected and when i tried to switch it on, it took me to a random page.
then, when I touched the data connection bit, it gave me the option to set it up, so i chose o2 and ok then it set it up then switched on data.
after that, synced again and everything went swimmingly.
Hope that helps anyone having the same issue

still doesnt work here... I've disabled my providers data connection and only connect through wifi and I have no pictures of my contact from facebook. it worked just fine in older versions but now it doesnt... any suggestions?

Works fine here.
For all those its not working, did you do a Hard Reset after flashing the ROM?
Hope you've NOT restored your contacts etc. via a previous backup.

in my last rom (1.48wwe), after a while...or after some modding...fb album sync didn't work anymore, despite no data services problems. I could sync everythin but fb album in ppl tab never worked. so..I think it was some cab or modding, solved with hard reset

Windows Live error 8600050C

Hi,
Is anyone having problems syncing their Windows Live primary account on WP7?
Every time I try I get a Windows Live error message along with the error code: 8600050C
I can sync emails on my PC's Windows Live Mail application, but not on my phone
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

I'm expiriancing the same errot today on my Windows phone, when trying to check for new messages.

Mine now appears to be working..
I turned off WiFi and tried Data connection(which I tried earlier today but didn't work, might of been because my connection was weak), then it started syncing, so I turned it off, reset my router and tried again from WiFi and it now works.

This is just a pain in the royal @#@! Every once in a while this happens and it's starting to get on my last nerve. Why does this happen? Like just now I can't get on Facebook and no error code it just keeps saying that it needs my attention, WTF?

Oh this is just great; now I'm getting a Oops! we're having a problem that we can't solve at the moment. try again later, what the ???

Happened out of the blue last night when i was using facebook.
It popped up about incorrect password and Live ID need attention.
I went to setting > email account and checked the password. It wouldn't accept the correct password (I was able to log in just fine on PC with that account)
This morning facebook says it's not up to date and gives error 80072F7D
I see this problem everywhere. Seems like a lot of people is having it. Dunno what's happening to MS

Same problem started today also for me
I'm hoping this is a Facebook error and not a Windows Phone error!
I've read that hard resets don't solve this. This is leading me to believe Facebook made some changes and didn't consider Windows Phone connecting.

Actually I just heard over at Windows Phone Central that it's a big problem and just about everyone is going through the same BS. Everyone is venting Here.

any news yet??? my live id account still say attention required
I've entered the correct password. It says synchronizing and attention required again.
It's very unlikely that password is incorrect. I tried entering an incorrect password and it immediately said password incorrect without synchronize (not being back to the account list saying attention required)

Everything works fine for me, Facebook started working again 11 am

yeah, facebook worked for me too, but i still can't get Live ID to work. It's strange that I still can download app from Market Place and open Xbox just fine. But email + accounts says it needs attention!?

I had those same issues before; the only way i was able to make Windows Live and my email start working again was to delete them from my phone and reinstall them.

[Q] Problems with windows live ID

Hi all,
Recently my Windows Live ID was deleted magically by my WP7 (optimus 7). When I try to add it again, the first time it simply takes me back to the settings page.
The second time I try this I get this error:
Oops!
We're having a problem that we cant solve at the moment. Try again later.
I've been trying unsuccessfully to resolve this over a month and nothing helps. Zune and Marketplace work but my account can't be restored. Does anyone know how to fix this without resetting my phone?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers!

[HELP] Cannot add google account - can't establish reliable connection

I have been using my XT926 for some months in the UK now and have to say its a brilliant phone. Since yesterday however i have been unable to sync anything related to google (gmail, contacts, etc). I had rooted a little over a week ago so thinking something had gone wrong i performed a factory reset. The reset went fine and the phone booted up to a stock state but when it came to adding my google account i got the error "cant establish a reliable connection to the server...". At first i figured this must be a connection issue but after loading up the web browser i'm able to load all sites including google web mail so my connection is perfectly fine. I then got hold of my galaxy tab 2 and checked my google sync status on there - it was working fine. I'm now sat here with a phone that has no google services and i'm wondering what has gone wrong ? I've searched online and many have similar problems where clearing the cache or factory resetting has solved it but in my case this hasnt helped. Any ideas ?

checked this thread already, I assume!?

Hi Stefan, I hadnt seen that thread prior to you linking it so havent tried the solution. I'll re-root my device and give it a go but after factory resetting i'm sceptical to this working. Something would appear to be seriously wrong with my phone.

Hi Stefan,
Just wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Rooted, deleted hosts file and all is working again. I guess the factory reset didnt restore the hosts file from when i previously rooted. I'm just happy to have this amazing phone back working again !

Great to hear I could help. thanks for the feedback - that's why I like this community. Have fun!
