twibble mobile on S60 V5 devices

thilo — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:34:07 +0000

The latest beta 0.9.21 of twibble mobile should run on S60 V5 devices including Nokia N97 or 5530 with touch screens.

If you have any trouble running Java apps you might want to try out the latest Java Virtual Machine from Nokia Labs. You probably also want to set twibble's application settings like in the pic above (in "Application Manager"). This avoids the on screen keyboard and annoying confirmation dialogs to access the network etc. Also install the latest firmware on your phone.

twibble mobile 0.9.20 runs on some more devices including Nokia’s N96, N85, 6720 classic, 6220 classic and other MIDP 2.1 phones. After installation you can flip through your timelines and Search view using the right and left key.
Just in case you get an older version when downloading make sure any twibble files are removed from your message inbox and browser caches first. Also make sure you have the latest firmware.

setup hints for twibble mobile

This post describes how to turn off the security warning dialogs in twibble mobile 0.9.14. The screen shots are taken on a Nokia N95. The procedure will differ between the various devices.

1) after installation of twibble mobile open Applications->App. mgr.

2) open twibble from the list of installed applications

3) change the permissions. E.g. setting ‘Read user data’ to ‘Always allowed’ will prevent the annoying file selection warning to pop up when uploading a pic to twitpic or Mobypicture. You can also set a default access point and allow network access. In that case twibble starts up very quickly with no confirmation dialog at all.

twibble mobile 0.9.8

thilo — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:12:43 +0000

Another beta of twibble mobile for J2ME enabled phones is available! Despite several bug fixes the new version let’s you to follow user timelines and hashtags (via twitter search). Check out the new menu item ‘open in browser’. And (again) the new version is much faster than before. It fetches tweets, replies and direct messages almost instantly (given a fast network connection and fast twitter response times). And the app is still just about 95 kByte in size!
By default, the new version accesses twitter via http. If you want a secure connection enter https://twitter.com in the ‘Server api root’ field under Options. To try the new version navigate to http://m.twibble.de using your phone browser and follow the installation procedure.
Update: Version 0.9.8 fixes the ‘Connection not Writable’ error on some Blackberry devices and tweet times not updating properly when they move down the tweet list.

twibble mobile 0.9.5

thilo — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:20:11 +0000

thanks to all twibble mobile testers we’ve got a new version available. Despite a couple of bug fixes it allows to follow all links in the browser (not just the first one). There is also a new option to specify to auto scroll the tweet list when new messages arrive. Some other features are described in this post. Point your phone browser to http://m.twibble.de and download the latest beta.
A note to SonyEricsson users: Most SE phones don’t seem to accept twitter’s ssl certificate. There are 2 ways to get around the prob: Either you can switch off SSL by entering “http://twitter.com” in server api root or you can try to install a certificate as described by moeffju and Martin Campbell here. Thx for the hints, guys!
