My doomed twitter problem - XPERIA X10 General

I hope someone here can help me since i am so desperate after searching many forums, anyway i'll try summarize it as much as i can :
- my desktop twitter log in working.
- my x10 browser log in working.
- x10 opera mini log in working.
- desktop applications like tweetdeck and cotweet which require authorization working too..
- any twitter application for android isn't working, Twiteroid, etc even timescape tells me invalid account information,
Twiteroid tells my it can't authorize the account ( and its not the one hour problem that happens due to wrong password )
- i've tried revoking all access from all program but again no use..
Any ideas ?
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

there are loads of twitter apps out there for android
SWIFT
TWIDROID
TWITPRO
SEESMIC
TWICCA
and my personal favorite TWEETCASTER
check your user name and password again when entering it ...sometimes when using swype or slide it you can accidentally rely on it too much for accuracy and it will add in a word you previously entered incorrectly!
I have also noticed with passwords and emails if you have AUTO word space set up in SWYPE you can end up with a space where you do not need it and not see this glitch until it rejects your userame/password!
edit additional If your using a Googlemail or Gmail acct for your email then try re registering with a different email address sometimes GOOGLE mail account can cause headaches and not allow access to some stuff ... the android market being one will not accept an @gmail acct and needs you to use an @googlemail this is due to them offering the googlemail to gmail switch a month or so back!

TWIDROID, SEESMIC, TWICCA all not working
i can't be writing my username and password wrong for 2 days now comon
besides i log in normally on the web browser which makes me more confused
i tried log in with the username and not the Email and still no use..
it just keeps me going crazy..

There was a similar thread that I responded to on SE's own forum. I gave all the normal suggestions but none worked. In the end the lady concerned said she had to restart (?) her whole phone and lost her contacts so I think she did a factory restore on it. But that did solve the Twitter problem.
I think this is a problem that has occured in the last few days because I also noticed another couple of threads on there about the same thing. I asked the other poster to pay it forward and give a description of exactly what she did to resolve it. Sadly at this point she hasn't done so.

Hey suzed,
I sure remember your name from the se forum, you have like million post there
Anyway, i would like to make a factory reset my last resort since i am not rooted and dont want to, i wish i could solve this confusing problem, i even cant figure out if its twitter sided or mobile sided error, wait a min. I have an idea , Am gonna try another account and see where it goes...
I will post back soon.

Yeah I know I need to get a life Sadly its a bit addictive trying to help people, bugs the cr*p out of me when I can't help especially on something that should be so flipping simple.

before you resort to desperate measures... try going into settings/ applications/ manage applications/ timescape/ clear data.. and Then do the same for timescape plug in manager and timescape provider.. then do the same for any Twitter apps you have.
You'll need to set those up again, but it might just do the trick!

nope, still no hope, i can't believe it, i have to do a full wipe for twitter .. lame ..

Hi mezo, the person on the SE forum did confirm this morning that is was a factory reset that did the trick (I get email notifications on that one - oh dear lord I need a life) but what a pain in your rear end just to get it working.

Wow you are fast, i just that notification 15 min ago too
Its just too early here, i guess i'll give it a try after backing up everything.
Will let you know how it goes...

still, not solved, i posted there in the same topic intesd of talking in two threads on two separate forums.

Right Just thought of something you need to change your APN settings from AUTOMATIC to manual and choose your provider MANUALLY!
I kinda vaguely remember having a similar issue when I used GERMAN EU firmware before finding the proper UK unbranded generic firmware

can you point me please
i searched but i cant find any information about this...
i was using your:
system-htc-donut.sqsh
and then your:
system-donut-102509.sqsh
strange thing... i tryed market enabler to fake a new provider but with no sucess.. weird.. some new google protection ?
maybe when you log with donut the make a reg with your mail that you have a 1.6 version... and you can only acess 1.6 market with that mail...
and the lack of apps is because the most of them arent 1.6 ready ?
maybe that.. but.. for example handcent sms are already 1.6 ready.. but doenst show ..

i'll take a look at it. i thought craig0rs market fix resolved that issue. maybe it's something with the system-donut-102509.sqsh if the system-htc-donut.sqsh works. i don't know what google is doing maybe they make checks against build types or log different things in the build.prop and keep a black list. i haven't used the market recently but i test each one that i put out with a new account and didn't notice a difference in the amount of apps when i put the newest build up four days ago. i have a build i've been testing that's using cyanogens build.prop and that seems to work so maybe i'll put that up.
anyway you can always start clean and open market and create a new account let everything sync then go home and clear your google apps cache in settings/applications/manage applications/google apps and open gmail and log in with your old account. the market setting should still be intact. other than that i don't know what to tell you as we're not even supposed to be using the market because we're not running genuine android phones.
well i pulled the latest 2 donut builds.
i tryed the craig0r http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568580 solution but with no sucess.. ill try latter again maybe i missed something... and then ill post
well i have to use a new account for market and the older account for syncro :\
hope raises a solution for this
thanks zen.. if i can help with something with this just ask
damn google
I'm having the same problem as well after using Donut than using xRom.

I noticed this as well. I tried using a fresh account that I made on google.com and it still did not give me all the apps. However I cleared all of my cache from google apps (market, gmail, etc.) and then set up a new account using the new account creator when you click on market. WHEN I USED THE ACCOUNT CREATED WITH ANDROID then I had the full list of free apps, Facebook, chompSMS, all of it. Not sure why it is doing that but now I can do everything. I was using the newest donut build on the android google-code. not sure if that helps but if definitely worked for me

but the most strange is that some apps are there and new apps shows every day...
i think they are migrating to this "new system" little by little .. day by day ?
because that screenshots thing and other new stufs
could be ?
dont know the problem is that your account gets flagged some way that you cant use old market no more

I don't know. My main account has been messed up for a while. I just use a totally different account for ion/cupcake builds now. But it's also been confirmed that things go back to normal when using a real non rooted android phone..

I had a Vogue that was running ION and loaded DONUT on it and experienced the Market Apps problem. Verizon warrantied my Vogue out because it had a dead pixel and was under manufacturer's warranty and I loaded ION onto the new one and the full market was back. Throughout the whole affair I used the same Gmail Account, so I'm convinced it's not our Gmail Accounts being tagged but the phone ESN's... this explains why when you move to a Genuine Android Phone the full market comes back as well.

Doesn't explain why market works with a new account on the same phone unless they are tagging your esn to that account.

hum .. if i create a new account in donut the market appears ok ? ..
never tested with a new account in donut...
so if is that.. probably you account get flagged with cupcake and when you log to donut with your account they probably now that you where on a cupcake before and make another flag to your account .. after that your account gets useless in both donut and cupcake..
so .. no way to fake your phone.. because the problem is in the account.. solutions ?
trying to fake our releases to google think that are a real android phone ...
is possiblem ?
I'm another victim of this bug.
What I noticed also is that the 1.6 Market seems to remember your installs and mine auto-installede apps right after a new data.img was created.
I've posted on Google's forum. Maybe they'll reset my accnt?

Twitter Problem?

Hi guys - I hate to have to write about another prob i'm having with this phone, even though i'm loving it so far (i'm hoping it's user issue).
I can't get the thing to log in via the twitter app/program? just throwing up a could not log in error.
and I did have it working and logged in the other day.
since then i've reset my phone a couple of times due to email issues I had (they weren't receiving and sending either)
Not sure why twitter doesn't let me log in now? the net works fine - facebook app logged in fine too.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem and already started a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586004
It seems to work fine on wi-fi but not 3G
Hmm yea you're right - I'm home now, and I can access my emails and twitter via wi-fi, but not 3G, it did work yesterday, but no idea why not now
it's quite a shame really, really nice phone - but all this is really, an annoyance. it shouldn't be this difficult.
I hope they come out with some kind of fix, so that, whatever details you input (being correct) just work.
T mobile? Remove the proxy in the internet settings, for any other blocks also register your phone on their site and remove the child filter. Experiment with the putting the proxy back on IF the child filter doesnt work, but give it a few hours.
If not T mobile im not so sure but Vodafone also have a child filter.
Rovex, hello - thanks for your reply and suggestions, I shall give it a go!
*edit - pretty sure my child filter is off, will check it again though.
yup, on t-mobile UK.
What's the proxy for if you can get away without it, why do they have it on there at all?
Great bit of advice though. Removing the proxy got my Twitter working now. I've just got to wait for the child lock to come off so I can play with YouTube
Maybe that'll solve the not GMail syncing mail problem too? fingers crossed.

Facebook thumbnails do not load

Has anyone else experienced problems with the integration of facebook app with the contacts, specifally when it comes to showing the friends profile photo? Just did a hard reset yesterday, and before that I was able to see my friends profiles pictures when i linked them in the contacts, next to their name and when they called me. Now all I see is th default gray siloutte. Even if i open up the facebook app, and goto the friends tab, all i see is the default silouette icon...
Help please, this was one of my favorite features, now my people tab is full of the same icons
This may be obvious, but since you have reset your HD2, have you remember to "link" contacts via the contacts menu?

dont know if it matter or not, am in the UAE, website bans galore, facebook has been reallu s... l o w here lately, starting to think it has something to do with that, anyone in the UAE can confirm?
If you can still access FB then it should work. If you can't then it could be a reason.
I hate to do this, but I might just perform another hard reset, will install nothing this time until i get the facebook pics to work, i disabled HTC messaging via some thread i found here, dont know if that has something to do with it or now

should i take this opportunity to upgrade to 1.48?

Maybe it's due to Facebook privacy settings? Try checking your facebook settings.
Btw, you need to log in to facebook located at Settings >Data Services> Facebook.
And.. you might want to consider to upgrade to at least Rom 1.48 ( though v1.61 is much better ) since 1.48 has been officially released by HTC.
Mine does not update either, I have to do it manually as autoupdate does nothing!
Ok guys >>>> at last i found the solution
all you have to do is opining you FB from laptop and change the way you login to "unsecure" (http not https) >>>> And its done
now reupdate ur contacts and FB thumbnails appear beside each name
PS: if u want to change it again to the secure mode plz turn off ur Auto FB contacts update

Missing Email Account HD2

Hi Guys and Girls,
This is my first HTC device and im loving it so far, being a long user for wimo devices, recently come from an omnia i8000, huge improvement going to the HTC, i wont look back.
Has anyone expericened missing email accounts? it still seems to be in the list but its hidden? i can create a new account with a different account name, and it works but is there any fix?
Thanks for your help
Bj,
I experienced the same problem today. However, I noticed that the mail settings had disappeared in addition to the accounts no longer showing up.
The only way I was able to solve the problem was by deleting the mailboxes and re-creating them.
Hopefully there is a better solution found in case this happens again.
Same thing happened to me just yesterday, wonder what's the cause.
Anyway I had the settings backed up to a cab as described here so a reinstall of that set them back up in seconds.
Have the same problem, but my internet settings was lost to...
Any fix for this other than the obe above?
//Johan
I had same misterious problem two times, and I didn't understand why...
:-(
Even I've had the same problem twice..and in addition to losing the email accounts, all my apps which required login like facebook, fring, etc stopped remembering usernames and passwords. Even if I selected save password, it kept asking me everytime is started the app.
The first time it happened i did not notice why, but the second time it happed immediately after a soft reset done using BSB Tweaks after making some changes in it.
I have removed BSB Tweaks for the time being, so will wait and see if it happens again.
the email problem can be solved by going to email- tab --> menu --> account settings (may have another name) --> choose your disappered account. you will notice some of your settins are lost, in my case the mail servers and the username. type in the missing information, and hit 'done', your email acc will be visible again.
Missing Accounts
Same problem after I installed the newest firmware in June. Never happened before, since then TWICE, so it must be the issue of the new FW. Sorry wergor, the solution you offer sucks. Doesn't solve the cause!

Hey,
I found a solution to this problem that I think works. The first time this happened my email accounts disappeared and all of my logins for other things (facebook, etc) also stopped working. This just happened again with no recent mods to the phone, and the only add-on I have is C00kie's Home Tabs (which I didn't have the first time).
The first time I used all the missing settings as an opportunity to upgrade my software. This time I'm on the road and I don't have time to fool with it. Happily I did figure out a way to resurrect the vanished accounts.
As you stated, if you try to recreate the settings, the system will tell you that the account exists, forcing you to create the same settings with a different name. You can probably find your original settings by doing the following:
Go to the settings tab. (Scroll left from your home)
Choose "Data Services"
Scroll down to "E-Mail"
Here you should see whatever accounts you created, even if they don't show up in your email tab proper. Select them and update your passwords (if they're missing, mine were). Everything should look normal.
As I said, I'm on data roam and I couldn't get my OTA download to work where I am. Hopefully when I get back I'll know for sure. Give it a try and I hope it helps you.
Dan
Dan.S - yes, it works, thanks so much. ;-)
It works
Yes, works. In same time, I lost my ability to connect to Facebook. Whenever I try to input name (email) and password, I get instant answer that there is problem with connection. Maybe password also lost. No idea where to find solution.

Quick Security Alert

Hi All,
This weekend I installed a couple of ROMs and played about with my phone quite a bit. I didn't install new apps, except for the ones I already had in previous ones.
Unfortunately this morning I have found that my google account has been hacked and some sod has been sending emails from my e-Mail address. Here are the details as provided by google:
Mobile India (125.19.103.21) 08:53 (2.5 hours ago)
I am not placing blame on anyone, or pointing fingers, but perhaps it can serve as an alert to the mostly honest XDA community.
you live in india?

In short, no I am not sure ... but the coincidence cannot be overlooked. I've had my account for several years and this had never happened before.
I also checked my PCs and they're clean, I don't use (or let anyone use) my account for stupid things like sending out webcards or anything of the like.
My intention though wasn't to indicate there is a problem, but to raise awareness of the potential for one.

This is odd. Same thing happened to me couple of days ago.
Aparently someone sent the following message: "Subject: Have been searching for a best place to buy drugs? here it is: **url removed**" to all my google contacts.
My account was locked, with a message saying it was "compromised" - asking me to reactivate the account over sms / phonecall.
I did not check where this happened from , i just reactivated and changed my password.
I had the same thing happen to one of my dummy Gmail accounts a while back... an account i hardly use and have certainly never logged into on Android..

Reset your password - delete the crap - and get on with life...
This has also recently happened to my yahoo and facebook account, since the two were linked on winmo, I traced it found it came through via one of those stupid apps that someone dropped on my wall. Facebook has been going through a rough patch of these types of break-ins. It could be something with that if you own a FB account.

I had the same thing happen to one of my dummy Gmail accounts a while back... an account i hardly use and have certainly never logged into on Android..

This is odd. Same thing happened to me couple of days ago.
Aparently someone sent the following message: "Subject: Have been searching for a best place to buy drugs? here it is: **url removed**" to all my google contacts.
My account was locked, with a message saying it was "compromised" - asking me to reactivate the account over sms / phonecall.
I did not check where this happened from , i just reactivated and changed my password.

i am using android now for several weeks and yesterday was the first time my phone asked me for my google password (in a textbox), after i entered it, everything was normal.
but now as i read this topic, i instantly changed my google account password
I'd agree that it ain't android...I've been getting e-mails from facebook/gmail friends, most of them with a topic saying: "Hi:" and most of them are fake user ads from a Taiwanese company. Be careful who you add on FB/Gmail etc.
I'll quickly reply to all of you as best I can
1) WinMo ROM is completely empty. No accounts setup, no contacts, even sense is disabled.
2) My Gmail password is quite strong (which is what surprised me the most) it is longer than 8 chars, combination of symbols, letters and numbers
3) I don't use *any* facebook apps/games, precisely for that reason
4) I had some returned undelivered messages in my inbox this morning, it was spam with a link to a website
5)My email account spoofed, I don't care. Happens all the time and there is not much you can do about that. What concerns me is that this person actually logged into my account and managed to send mail to all my contacts.
I'll post a list of my android apps soon (it's quite long)
Do you use the Gawker service to login to any of the websites they are a part of?

If so, that could be a good reason why you're getting spam.
