Anyone else having problems with Twitter?
 
When I try to log into Twitter using Witter, Tweego, Hermes or chat through N900 my phone tells me that I either cannot log in or Username/PW is incorrect (although I know for a fact it's right). Is Twitter no longer working for the N900? If I try to log in via the browser it's fine. :confused:

yea, i started getting 'rate limit exceeded' errors using mauku, and it stopped updating. i then installed the conversations plugin which refuses to connect at all. web does indeed work fine.

i did get an email from twitter stating that they were making some changes to apis so that's maybe the cause.

Most likely something to do with the change is oauth - http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_faq

Twitter recently changed their authentication protocol for everybody. So all 3rd party clients for any device and computer that has not updated will not work.

  1. Please see "Twitter Applications and OAuth".
  2. Use "Account setup" in Witter and "Edit" your existing account. Then "Configure OAuth" there.
  3. Wait (and hope) for updates to other Maemo Twitter apps.

Mauku stopped working for me today, it keeps telling me "rate limit exceeded".

Also, my tweets older than 5 months have disappeared (again).

I'd say Twitter has screwed up something, once again. I'm starting to get tired of their goof-ups.

I bumped into a problem with witter. I'd forgotten to configure OAuth and witter just hung on startup when trying to retrieve my timeline. I've posted a bug report about this.

If anyone else bumps into this problem I solved the issue with witter hanging on start up by opening xterm and typing:
Code:
mv .witter .witter.back
You then have to setup your twitter account details again making sure that you configure OAuth in the account setup screen.

Yes, that solves that big problem.

But I am having bigger problems with searching than ever.

The forever problem is that Witter doesn't save searches.

But when I search for one thing then another, Witter doesn't get rid of the previous search!

So when I do a search for #N900 and read the tweets

then I search for #kindle

The #kindle results are mixed with the #n900 results.

I don't want that.

In fact, when I run Witter on my N810

I like how it works in some ways better than on my N900!

but once i close it and reopen witter.. it stuffs up on me again and does the exact same thing trying to startup and retrieve timelime..

so does this mean i have to go to xterm every single time i wanna use witter?

You need to make sure that you setup the OAuth for witter. When inputing your usename and password make sure that after doing that you click on the OAuth button and follow the steps there.

When you click on that it should send you off to twitter to authorise witter and give you a code that you need to then enter into the box that pops up in witter.

I don't think so. Witter was actually fixed with regard to this issue and Mauku hasn't been. My impression is that the Witter developer is the most responsive of the Twitter developers.

Im using TweetGo.net and Hahlo.com, really brilliant and flashy light web clients, much more stable that the latest Witter and Tweego builds

I've seen a similar issue myself. I noticed that the box that should popup to enter the number doesn't always display correctly, it doesn't popup far enough to enable you to enter it. I've not found a solution to this apart from just retrying. What version of witter are you using? I'm running the one from extras-devel.

awesome! at least this stopped my witter from hanging! i had entered a wrong OAuth id and witter failed working after that!

thanks a lot bob. seems to be responding after ur fix. cld u explain a lil what exactly was done? moved the configuration folder?

SpandexBob 2011-05-22 19:44
Re: Anyone else having problems with Twitter?
 
@bravomike67 the problem happens because witter stores the wrong credentials in the .witter and when witter starts it can't authenticate with those creds. Moving the .witter file out of the way causes witter to start with no credentials.

Re: Anyone else having problems with Twitter?
 
I'm having similar problems with Twimgo, Witter, Tweedsuit and Khweeture (forget the spelling of the last one). I get a 404 authorization error message and am asked to check the username and password. They are correct. I have been using these programs for years with the same info. I can open a browser and access twitter with no problem. Suggestions?

Edit:

jpala16 comments in the Twimgo thread that he removed Twimgo and then

"I realized that some packages were said to be not necessary. A lot of packages named as "libqtm-11-*". Today I uninstalled them, saw that fMobi stopped working, and installed them again by installing "libqtm-11-declarative". The rest were installed as dependencies, I think. Now TwimGo is working."

I have a feeling my problem is similar, but I tried his solution a couple of times and it didn't solve my problem.

geneven 2011-12-13 13:44
Re: Anyone else having problems with Twitter?
 
My problem appears to have been fixed by software updates. At least Twimgo seems to work now.
