One bug wrt geolocation. On the old one (0.3) it would give u the option between IP and GPS and when you choose GPS, it'd say error. On the new one its quite nice that it autoselects IP and shows lat long data. but in both cases it consistently get them wrong!! at least now im not in the middle of the pacific, but im 10km off from my position... better than 10000 km i guess!!

Config for? Ur talking about changing the DP on twitter right? In case you found hidden controls like autorefresh, etc lemme know!!

One more issue.. Some tweets in the timeline are missing!

To the developer,

Is there anyway you can make this available through the application manager so that when ever you update it we get notified. I love the N900 and im by no means tech stupid but I dont know enough about terminal language to be comfortable using it like many. The app is so good it deserves to be easily down-loadable.

Next, and this is for app developers in general, not that longer number press is working on N900 please ensure that the app allows for this, its just easier.

Also, please can someone post the link to download the latest build of Tweego.

Cheers

go to app manager and launch update
you 'll have a pop up asking for U to updtae to the latest release

I´ve just update my TweeGo and I love this new release.

Now, we have the button "Open Image" that shows pictures posted on twitpic withou need to open the browser. That´s awesome!!!

But somestime, the picture keeps open in background, and I can´t click on other tweet to see another picture.

And I couldn´t find the auto refresh option. How do I enable this feature?

Hello everyone!

Well, we solved the scroll issue but unfortuneatly, we had to remove the gps support for the location :/

Some technical explanation:
If you see in source code in TweeGo Repository, more specifically the TweeGo.pro (line 72), to enable the maemo 5 features, like the kinetic scroll, gps support and the yellow banner notification, we try to look if there is the location.so file (not the best, we'll change to the maemo 5 OS flag), and when we send the source to be compiled in the maemo extras-devel (we can't compile and upload a file, the process is done by the maemo server, for security reasons) it doesn't find the .so :/

This caused all the problems, the scroll, gps and yellow banner weren't working (most of you notice only the scroll). To "fix" this, we remove the condition, but it wouldn't compile again because of the missed liblocation (which allow us to acess the gps), so we removed the gps method for location (again you can only get your ip location, usually the town center).

So, after all the tests, we couldn't predict that this could happen, let's just blame the maemo compiler :P

I believe that we can solve this using the new Qt Mobility for maemo, there lots of examples explaining how to use the gps so maybe won't take long untill the next version (0.3.1) be released with the gps support.

That's it guys, later I'll try to answer your questions.

(I just realize that TweeGo should have a blog where we can make posts like this one).

Thx 4 the new release.
What's about the auto refresh, shouldn't it work in this version ?

it'd be great if pictures posted on Yfrog and Tweetphoto have that "open image" button, just like the app shows on twitpic photos.

also, there's a bug in this feature that keeps the image open, even when back to timeline.

Thanks for shipping the minor update to fix touch -- even if it did mean gps is removed

I thought I'd summarise my thoughts below in a hopefully constructive way. I should say I really like the smoothness of the UI, scrolling etc - definately a lot of potential here for a great client, which is very much appreciated

- Standard twitter functionality:

* DM (show/send)
* Follow "reply" reference train to show a discussion thread (I often want to do this)
* Display any "referenced" users in a tweet & show user info, tweet history, follow,@mention etc (this is a way I decide whether to follow someone)
* Fix GPS (does it need a sanity check... I know it's currently broken and reporting 0,0)
* Add caching - does it already? I notice switching between timeline and @mentions results in small delay. More concerned about API call limits too
* Add new style retweet
* Add manual refresh/refresh configuration timers

- A few buggy areas

* Handle network coming/going more reliably -- am finding the client locks up. somehow it needs to retry/interrupt

- More general feature suggestions
* Add photo upload (twitpic, yfrog etc) (although personally I'm using posterous mostly now)
* Add facebook timeline and/or "plugin" ability to support other social networks
* Add gowalla/foursquare checkin
* Auto-login

- Something I thought about and actually think maybe shouldn't be implemented

* support streaming API -- keeping a constant data connection, certainly on GPRS/UMTS could be very power hungry, regular refresh better. But maybe on wifi? but that would mean dynamic switching


I know that's a large list, hope it was helpful to list out!
