now available for download! It has some bug fixes and a slightly modified menu to upload photos to twitpic or Mobypicture. Check it out from the mobile site!

If you experience any connection errors pls enter https://twitter.com in Options->Server API root. Blackberry users at least need OS 4.5 or greater.

Loaded on BB 8300 Curve. problem with the time stamp on each tweet in 0.9.10 appears to be fixed.

2 Gavin Cruickshank // May 2, 2009 at 15:06

Still a problem with the timestamp when using it on a Sony Ericsson phone. All tweets from the last twenty-four hours still say “(Just now).”

@Gavin are your timezone/DST settings correct?

First choice for my BB 8707, but got message: Error starting twibble: Module ‘twibble’ has verification error 2863 at offset b016.
OS4.2.2.205

@ufly you probably need to upgrade your BB to OS 4.5. 4.2 won’t run, I’m afraid

6 Kudaibergen // May 4, 2009 at 03:45

Tnx! Load :)

7 Gastonet // May 4, 2009 at 14:37

I don’t use APN on my Blackberry since my carrier charges me a lot for that.
Is there any way to get Twibble working over a BIS connection?

8 Craig March // May 4, 2009 at 14:45

This version appears to fix a problem with the timestamp on Nokia N95. Thanks!

9 Bas // May 4, 2009 at 15:52

It’s very unstable on my Nokia N96

10 thilo // May 4, 2009 at 18:47

@Bas do you have the latest N96 firmware? Are you using WiFi or mobile network?

11 Peter // May 4, 2009 at 21:38

Twibble works great on my Nokia E90 using wifi or mobile network.

12 Martin Campbell // May 5, 2009 at 10:59

Links > Timeline of, Links > Follow @ and Links > Search for @ still contain illegal characters after the end of the twitter name.

First load of tweets works without problems. Every other action, reload tweets or post a tweet fails with “[error] TimelineLoader run: failed to open a connection” – older versions than 0.9.11 (and the one before) worked fine. phone is an motorola e770

14 Ahnlak // May 5, 2009 at 13:05

Same problem as Chaosblog – failed to open a connection after the first load. Also everything is showing up as 1 hour older than it should (i.e. new tweets show as “60 minutes ago”). Still, when it works, MUCH faster :)

15 thilo // May 5, 2009 at 13:28

@Chaosblog @Ahnlak strange, what phone/firmware/carrier do you use? Is there smth in the log (pls set Options->log level to ‘info’)

16 Ahnlak // May 5, 2009 at 14:08

TimelineLoader run: starting… (repeated 3 times)
TimelineLoader run: failed to open a connection
TimelineLoader stop: closing HTTP connection
TimelineLoader stop: failed to close a connection
TimelineLoader run HTTP response received: OK
TimelineLoader readHTTPResponse Content-Length: 2
TimelineLoader stop: closing HTTP connection

I’m on an INQ1 (uk carrier Three)

Other apps seem fine, and twibble only started with this error with v11.

17 xiaozu // May 6, 2009 at 13:29

I can’t use it on NOKIA7610.

18 chaosblog // May 6, 2009 at 21:24

tried it with motorola e770 and nokia 5200 (both o2 in germany)

log on motorola e770:
TimelineLoader run: starting… (repeated 3 times)
TimelineLoader run HTTP response received: OK
TimelineLoader readHTTPResponse Content-Length: 23757
TimelineLoader run HTTP response received: OK
TimelineLoader readHTTPResponse Content-Length: 37602
TimelineLoader stop: closing HTTP connection (repeated 3 times)
TimelineLoader run: starting…
TimelineLoader stop: failed to close a connection
TimelineLoader stop: closing HTTP connection
TimelineLoader run HTTP response received: OK
TimelineLoader readHTTPResponse Content-Length: 2
TimelineLoader stop: closing HTTP connection

log nokia 5200:
TimelineLoader run: starting… (repeated 3 times)
TimelineLoader run: Error in HTTP operation
TimelineLoader stop: closing HTTP connection

other apps with online-connection (like opera) are working fine.

It is very unstable in my N96, it does not even load ;(

20 thilo // May 7, 2009 at 12:00

@Ahnlak @chaosblog is it any different when you use wifi/GPRS? Or if you use https://twitter.com in Option->Server API root?

21 thilo // May 7, 2009 at 12:02

@miceno do you have the latest firmware? Did you try a clean install (remove old twibble installations first)?

22 squaremagazinr // May 7, 2009 at 12:38

keep getting a unhandled exception, and asking to close. using an n95, can anyone help?

23 Chaosblog // May 7, 2009 at 14:35

i have no wifi on the mobiles. using gprs causes the same log-output and it’s unusable too.

24 Bas // May 7, 2009 at 14:57

@thilo: I am using the latest firmware and use mobile network

25 CanISuggest // May 8, 2009 at 11:17

Love twibble and thanks for making it free.
I have one legitimite criticism though.
The second most common task for me it open a shortened url in the mobile browser. On my last count it took me 14 button clicks to scroll throught the menu and open the URL!
Have I missed a shortcut here? This action could be done with a single button click if designed properly…

26 wallly38811778 // May 9, 2009 at 00:18

i want download twibble mobile

27 thilo // May 9, 2009 at 13:07

@Ahnlak @chaosblog thx again for your tests. Maybe Version 0.9.12 will run better on your phone (although I couldn’t test, I’m afraid).

28 Gavin Cruickshank // May 11, 2009 at 19:36

Thilo, thanks for your advice last week.

I discovered I had an out-of-date version but an update solved the problem.

29 Chris // Jul 1, 2009 at 22:43

Twibble is so unstable on my E63, freezes phone and other apps too :@

30 rick // Jul 21, 2009 at 06:56

works great on nokia 5310 how ever my timestamps are off about an hour

31 @lauraplenzik // Aug 2, 2009 at 15:22

same problem as rick, why can’t I see the newest posts? always get 1 hour delay. Also on nokia 5310
