Using Twibble for Mobile on my Nokie E61. The message tesxt is fixed to black and doesnt show up at all well against my theme background. A way of changing font colour or making the background opaic wouls help a lot.

Great feature, the automatic GPS tagging from Nokia 95 8B. But: it twibbles only a readable location for the Twibble desktop and API, right? Non-Twibble readers need to copy and paste the location into f.e. Google Earth. Why doesn’t Twibble automatically make a link to a map site???

@Taffman The (high level) text input boxes are layouted and rendered by your phone (not by the twibble app). That’s why we can’t easily change it, I’m afraid …

@Rick see comment on the API page

i use twibble on my E61 and the time is always set to “just now” instead of e.g. “2 hours ago”. Is there a way to change this? On my Samsung SGH-i550 everything works correct…

I have problems with twiblle on my Nokia E61, it always show as time “just now” even it is hours ago, how can I change this? On my Samsung SGH-i550 twibble works fine, both are the newest version..

Thanks for the help!

Just a minor comment on a great product. The standard on Twitter for re-tweeting is to put RT @username before the original tweet. You use via @username at the end. Any chance of allowing an option to do this.

I have installed Twibble on my Sony ERicsson C905 – It seems to work fine first time, but once i close and re-open the aplication, the phone freezes and i have to delete and reinstall the software. Very annoying.

Any ideas?

P.s. Im on Vodafone in the UK

I’ve install this on a N95 (original) and whilst it works and connects fine over wifi, when I try to use 3g/gprs the tweets won’t load.
I’m on T-mobile UK. Is there something I need to do/change?

Will you going to release soon twibble for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic? Meaning for phones supporting MIDP 2.1? Thanks!

Any plans to open source this application? It would be so handy to have a client I could hack on and share my improvements!

Can’t even get it to launch on the N70.

Installs OK but nothing when you click the Twibble icon.

Was really hoping this would work on the Samsung Instinct….no dice.

Hi, using Twibble with Nokia E65 (latest firmware installed) When I try to access Twibble with SSL enabled, I get the known certificate warning (which I don’t get on other applications). When I disable SSL, i get no connection when using vodafone live, but if using WLAN, it works. This is strange and it would be great if this could be solved.

The google maps link in twibble desktop for windows V1 has the wrong link, it has freinds_timeline rather than user and numon rather than count, change these manually and it works.

i tried to download twibble on my Sidekick slide but it doesn’t work. any help ( or alternative for twitpic)?

Is there any way to have Twibble run in the background after hitting my BlackBerry’s escape key? As of right now, one must task out to keep it open, which seems unnatural.

Just a note of clarification to my earlier question, I have tried both the ‘h’ and ‘8′ keys, and neither send Twibble to the background on my BlackBerry Curve 8330. Any ideas?

Using the INQ1. Logging it merely produces a ‘illegal value found’ message. Hmm.

hi. nice program! a few problems though- 1. i can’t find a way to mark the Tweets I’ve already read as I can using Apple-K in Twitterific. Also, the multitouch down arrow is Twibble scrolls down but not smoothly, so it’s too easy to lose my place. if you can, please let me know re these two issues. good luck!

It doesn’t even start on Nokia N72 installs ok, but nothing happen when trying to start the app…
I have the latest firmware:
5.0819.4.0.1
07-05-08
RM-180
does anybody have any ideas?

@myers are your time zone / DST settings correct?

@Francis Muir thx There’s an ongoing debate on the best symbol to indicate re-tweets (♺ vs. ‘RT: ‘ vs. ‘via’). Probably twibble will adopt the RT: notation in the next version, too

@Robbie Brown not really, I’m afraid. Did you install on a memory card or internal phone memory?

@Paul Crowley thanks for your interest! However there are no plans to open source it yet

@Stuart does it make any difference if you switch on/off SSL?

@Alvin it should work on MIDP 2.1 but not yet on touch screen devices. I’m afraid.

@alex does a firmware upgrade help?

@Becci touch screen devices are not yet supported, I’m afraid

@Christoph it seems that vodafone live routes all the traffic through vodafone proxies changing the http headers. That doesn’t seem to happen with SSL swiched on. However, if a SSL certificate is trusted or not depends on the root certificates installed on your phone. What happens when you navigate to https://twitter.com or https://twibble.de using your phone browser?

@steve thanks for the hint. Will be fixed in the upcoming desktop version!

@rina does your sidekick support Java MIDP2.0/CLDC1.1?

@Johann does twibble run in background when you start another app?

@Matt still no luck even when using a different carrier?

@Michoel things will change in the new desktop version. Should be out beginning of March. Thanks for the hints!

@Levanid Did you install on a memory card or internal phone memory?

Love what you are doing here. I have a few issues on the BlackBerry Bold on the AT&T network. I have setup with the proper passwords and in “Applications”, everything is “allowed”. I give it access to “api.twibble.de” it says “fetching tweets” then it says “twitter down.” Ironically, it does work on my Storm/Verizon. Touch doesn’t work with the scroll down, but I can see my tweets.

@thilo same certificate error for https://twitter.com and https://twitter.de .
certificate is valid from 18.11.2008 till 19.12.2009 . There is no newer firmware for this f******g phone and I have to use it. Any ideas?

@Thilo I’m having the same issue as R Brown, installed on SE C905 with latest firmware. Whether installed on Memory Card or Phone Memory the app only runs the time it’s installed. After that it freezes after you select “Allow connection to internet”. I’ve tried it both through the Wi-Fi & 3G with no luck.

Is there any way to limit the number of tweets being retrieved?

Using Twibble Mobile on an N95 with the latest firmware, on Vodafone UK. At start up, it only retrieves the last 16 tweets tweeted – doesn’t seem to be a way of accessing any beyond that, which is a pain if more have appeared. Any way to get it to retrieve all tweets / all since last shutdown when starting it up?

When I use my GPS and try to geocode my location it shows my location far way than my actual location. For example another country. AM I doing something wrong

Just downloaded Twibble for my Blackberry 7105t and get the following error: Error starting twibble: Class ‘javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection’ not found. Can anyone help me figure out what this means and how I can get this to work?

I haver A Blackberry 8220 Pearl Flip witn no data plan. I have been able to download and install Twibble on Wi-Fi, buit i can’t get it to work on wi-fi. Any suggestions or help?

This Twitter client is THE best. Period. Looks killa on my Bold.. thanks!

Until recently mobile app worked just great! But two weeks now it won’t load tweets on start up. Changing SSL on/off didn’t help. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t help. I have a Nokia E50 with old firmware(but, I repeat, it worked in the begining). Otherwise, app is just what I need.
Cheers!

I seem to be having a problem posting tweets with photos. If I put in an apostrophe e.g. “here’s a photo” then any text after the apostrophe disappears e.g. all I see is “heres”. I don’t know if this is a problem with twibble or twitpic. Interesting to see that the Tweet comes from twitpic not twibble (as per normal)

I’m having the same problem as Matt- I get an “Oops … illegal value found.” message when I try to twibble a message (not via SMS). I’m in the UK where there is no SMS number for twitter.. maybe there’s an issue with that?

I use twibble over a wi-fi network and everything works. But not when I try to tweet by sms. I get the message “your SMS has been sent to +447624801423″ but the app blocks. I am in Portugal. Someone can help?

@Vasco Do you have a data plan also or just Wi-Fi, becuase i’d love to get twibble working on my wi-fi only handset but can’t

I m unable to use it with my Nokia 6300! Its starts ok but says “Error: HTTP Property Cont….” when I press * again it says “parsing…..” and it never ends!

Hi! Is there any help/hint in using the “text templates” more efficiently? I know I can insert them via menu but it’d be nice to insert them via text/keyboard. Or am I missing something here?

I like almost everything about Twibble mobile except that I’m wondering how it decides what tweets to retrieve. It would be nice to be able to control how much (if any) history it retains from one invocation to the next (especially, as others have noted, because it doesn’t run in the background on BlackBerry when the escape key is used to exit).

Samsung SGH-J700: installs fine, can enter settings fine, but cannot save & continue. Up / down / cancel work OK, but every other key translates as Edit. Grrr.

Whenever I go to install Twibble via OTA or by manually installing, I get the error “Insufficient space for application” on my Blackberry 8320. My phone has PLENTY of space, so I am not sure why I am receiving this error. Help! Thanks.

Just installed Twibble on my Blackberry Curve (8330, 8320?). Error is Error: Bad DNS Address. Any ideas?

I get the error, after it tries to load tweets for a while, of ‘tunnel timed out’. Ideas?

Doesn’t work on my BB Curve. After entering log in info and giving it a go, I get “Error: Open tunnel-failure”

I can’t open the app and yet I can’t remove it from the Nokia E71 at all. Nothing works. Help!

I used Twibble for a few months last year on an N95 mainly without problems.

Times have changed now I’ve got an N79 (same operating system and slightly improved specs over the N95, but with a newer feature pack).

I keep getting “Oops… Internal Server Error” when a picture fails to tweet, but there’s no way out without forcing the application to close via task manager. Did you really not program it to exit gracefully from server errors like that, or is this N79/Twibble specific?

Getting “Internal Server Error” when trying to post with a photo

Everytime I try to post a picture to twitpic via twibble, it starts to send and then comes up with a message saying ‘oops…internal service error’…

anyone know what that means?

Cheers

I tried to follow a user using twibble mobile but it failed and now I cannot either follow or unfollow them. I don’t know if it was caused by a twibble bug, but I would advise against following new users via twibble mobile just in case. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?

I can load Twibble on my Blackberry Curve and it works fine if I run it just after installation. However if I close it, I can find no icon on my BB desktop to restart the application. My apps lists shows it’s there but I just can’t relaunch it.

I installed the .jar on my mobile (Benq Siemens EL71), but the application fails to start – the phone crashes hard and I need to reboot.

I have installed Twibble v0.8.7 on my LG Viewty and it launches OK and I can enter my login details but when it trys to connect it fails and just says “Certificate was issued by an unrecognised entity”. Damn Ideas anyone?

Hurrah! Having looked around this site I discovered my problem with “Certificate was issued by an unrecognised entity” was due to having SSL activated. From with Twibble Mobile: Menu | Options | SSL | uncheck. Now connected OK. Love Twibble – Hate the Duck!

Hi all, on a N95 and the last version of twibble, sending pictures to twitpic is impossible “Ooops unauthorized method”

hey there, thanks for creating such a simple yet useful twitter java client. everything works just fine on my samsung i780 here. wondering how to change root for uploading picture, cause the only root available is the device root. i want to change it to storage card root where i keep my pictures etc.
love to hear soon, have a good day!

http://www.twitter.com/hellonoe

I love the interface of Twibble, but unfortunately, the application is almost useless, because I can’t read the message history farther back than about an hour. I really wish Twibble could do like TwitterBerry and allow more messages to be saved.

@martin a new version of twibble mobile will be available quite soon. Among others, it will allow you to see more tweets!

I tried to get twibble on the Nokia n82 of my father. Download went fine, entering username went fine but when I tried to enter the password Twibble closed. I tried several times but the same thing happens again and again.
Do you have a solution?

Possible “bug” or what you want to call it:
If you append a photo you should only be able to write 27 characters less since the url in the beginning take up some space. Here’s an example:
Twitter allows 140 characters. This is an example twitpic url(without quotes, obviously):
“http://twitpic.com/2y82z – ”
Thats 27 characters. 140 – 27 = 113 which is the correct number of characters to be able to write after appending a photo.
Also, maybe you should change “append” to “attach” which I think sound more appropriate.

I’ve been using Twibble Mobile on my Nokia N95 8GB for a while and I’ve been very happy with it, but lately I’ve been having several issues.
The phone vibrates when receiving any tweet (no matter how I set the preferences) and it often vibrates randomly while the app is running (independently from incoming tweets).
Also, it keeps downloading the last 5-6 DMs I have received on twitter over and over, as in several times per hour.
Is there a way to solve these issues? I really like this app.

twitter has changed their api just recently. pls install the new version: http://www.twibble.de/2009/04/11/new-twibble-mobile-093-available/ and you should be ok!

Just installed twibble on my e71-1. 1st attempted tweet, I get the error message “native error 7372″. However, googling has not turned up anything specific. Any suggestions?
Note – I am able to view tweets, DMs @replies. I am not able to tweet, DM, or reply.

Thanks,
Ben

I just installed it on my Blackberry Storm and overall it works well. The only problem I’ve encountered so far is it is tricky to scroll down through the listing of tweets. But I think this may be more a function of the Storm’s UI issues than Twibble.

Brilliant app…but is there any way of resizing pictures automatically (to smaller jpegs) as my phone seems to get stuck uploading bigger files (>1.3MB) that my camera takes.
Thanks…

i have LG KS360 AKA Neon, the only way to type is when i slide open the qwerty keypad, but when i do that, the app “twibble” doesn’t flip in the screen! plz fix this! thank u!

I agree with Martin’s http://www.twibble.de/trouble-with-twibble/#comment-4085 . I would like most of all to have Twitter’s/PeopleBrowsr’s capability to request, on demand, more tweets at the oldest end of the tweestream.

I also would like to have the option to display the tweetstream in forward chronological order instead of the blog-standard reverse chronological order, which makes no sense to me for Twitter even though it’s describd as micro-blogging.

Finally, thank you very much for implementing in_reply_to_status_id ! I’ve been waiting for a BlackBerry Twitter client to do that for months!

With the above features in place I’m pretty sure I’d never go back to TwitterBerry. Right now I have to have both installed, because TwitterBerry can retrieve more tweets (i.e., it reaches back further into the past) than Twibble.

I have downloaded and installed Twibble on my Storm 9530. As soon as I put my login information in, I received all my twits just fine. BUT, when I try to send them I get a message saying – NOT ALLOWED and that is all it gives me. Ideas?

The latest versions of Twibble have dropped TwitPic support for MobyPicture. It would be great to be able to choose which service to use – I prefer TwitPic.

I would like to use twibble on my mobile phone (SE K750i). But everytime I tell twibble to update (manual update) it first tells me “loading tweets” and then fails with “Couldn’t read from…” (everything else covered by the twibble logo).

I read the adjustments needed for Sony Ericsson, added the Certificate and after that didn’t help either I set the URL to http://twitter.com/. Failure again.

What’s interesting here: I cannot access http://twitter.com/. After I login I get a 403-error. And once I saw an error message from O2 that this page is blocked.

TinyTwitter works well… I assume because it uses http://m.twitter.com/ to connect. At least I verified that I could open http://m.twitter.com/ manually in the browser.

Trying to tell Twibble to use m.twitter.com didn’t help either

Any further ideas? Is there any way I could access twibble logs on my mobile phone? Tried to set log level to Info but didn’t find where the log goes to.

Same as Thragor, I am having problems with the newer Twibble clients on my K660i. Are 0.8 versions still available for download?

Someone said that already, but it would be nice to be able to choose which service to use, Twitpic or MobyPictures. I prefer Twitpic and I’m frustrated that I can’t post my pictures there with Twibble anymore.

Got an older version (www.twibble.de/sw/mobile0.8.6/twibble.jar etc.), now back online. Suggest anyone having problems with 0.9.x clients on Sony Ericsson hardware rolls back.

Twitpic works too!

Can I get the old desktop version back, with just the server change?

Beta 0.4.5 has dropdown instead of tabs for profiles.
There is no way I can see to manually update or switch profiles.

Actually, if I had the option of the timeline with all of my merged accounts (very confusing for me personally) or to retain the old method of using tabs for each account (as in ’settings’) I would be happy.

i’m having the same problem as thragor. i also tried version 0.8.6. but that didn’t worked, too. any new ideas? i’m using eplus in germany on my se w595.
maybe i missed some settings?

I use the latest version of twibble on my E71, and I have the following problems:

1. The refresh command (previously #) is no longer available. This is a problem because if twibble fails to connect to the net once, it will never try again.

2. The default service for photo uploads is mobypicture.com, however, this service does not handle replies correctly. twitpic is much better at handling twitter replies. It would be better if you changed to use twitpic instead, or at least provided an option.

3. If I put twibble into the background while it is uploading a pic/tweet, and start some other application, twibble will aggressively grab focus as soon as it has completed the upload. It should not do this as it interferes with what I was doing in the other application.

Having Mobipicture as default and no way to change back to twitpic is really killing the client. I am going to look for alternatives.

Please try the latest version. It supports moby and twitpic. Please also note some new keyboard shortcuts. Refresh is on *

I’m having trouble with the new version of Twibble on my Sony Ericsson K8001.

Feature changes
* I use twitpic – would prefer that as an option
* Like others I miss the refresh button

Bugs
* The client has frozen on several occasions
* It has failed to update quite a few times (at which point I miss the update button )
* I only seem to be able to update a limited number of tweets – if I scroll down to bottom of my downloaded tweets I get a “fetching tweets” message – presumably indicating that older tweets are being downloaded. This never works and I also get a rather perplexing smiley “:-)” afterwards.

Upgraded my Twibble on my BB Curve from 08 to 09 version & now it doesn’t work! I get “Module Twibble has verification error 2863 at offset ae9b” already uninstalled older version. Is there any way to get the old version back that worked?!

@Awais Naseer Keyani I have the same problem with N6300. If it cannot be solved quickly, I start looking for another client. Can’t Twibble for 3 weeks now!

@Awais Naseer Keyani, @eazye did you try the latest version 0.9.11? pls also try to enter https://twitter.com in Options->Server API root.

Twibble mobile crashes the main screen changing colours, tried the 3 colours available after selecting the 3rd it crashed, phone is a Nokia E73

@Granville White pls try the latest version 0.9.11. Has 4 themes

I´m having trouble with twibble on my Nokia E66

Everytime i like to start twibble this message apears: “Expired! Please check http://www.twibble.de for updates.”

I have the newest Version (0.9.11) of twibble. Can you help me?

@Linda are your time settings (time zone/DST) correct?

@thilo what means “correct” ? It is GMT +2:00 Berlin

@Linda that’s a good start if the date is correct, too the beta is supposed to expire by the end of May. The only I can think off now is that smth with your settings is not correct

@thilo thank you. The Date wasnt correct!

I have a Nokia E71, and cannot install the jar, it failed at the last step.

Well i have samsung innov8 and most of the time the application shuts down when i try to connect with the network. This is very annoying because only 1 out of 10 tries i can connect. I didn’t have this problem about a month ago,only now with the latest versions

i am having issues not getting vibrate notifications for new alerts

I have a Nokia 6110 Navigator with latest Nokia flash update. Twibble installed fine but reports Error: -20 when Updating. Error log says [Error] TimelineLoader run: -20. Any idea what the error codes are? Is there any documentation on configuring Twibble anywhere (it certainly aint here!)

I donwnloaded Twibble v0.9.11 on my BlackBerry 8900. All permissions are set to ‘allow’ and i see tweets fine. But when I try to send a tweet, I get a ‘NOT ALLOWED’ message. Can anyone help? it’s driving me mad!

..Just installed Twibble v0.9.12 and have the same problem..

How do I know if my phone is compatible for twibble?

any difference when you enter https://twitter.com in options->server api root?

In answer to thilo, yes! Specifying httpS://twitter.com fixed the ‘Not Allowed’problem when trying to tweet from my BlackBerry. Thanks!

hello.
i’d really liked to use twibble, but every time i try to connect i get an error like this:
Error: HTTP property … (i cant read the rest)

i have a nokia 6120 classic, and i really dont know why ic ant connect!
please help me

0.9.12 on E71: just installed it and it’s buggy. Previous version was stable. Started Twibble 3 times, out of which 2 times had to restart the phone, because screen was frozen in white. Please publish an update or advise us how to go back.

My mobile says “oops target of the name cannot be found” when I try to twibble. What’s wrong?

@Verena you could try to set Options->Server API root to https://twitter.com

Set the API to this already

0.9.12 on N70, installs ok, icon appears but click on it and nothing happend. SAved to phone memory.

I used twibble version 0.9.3 and updated to 0.9.12. Everything worked fine but suddenly I couldnt start the app anymore. So I deleted twibble and tried to install the latest version again. My phone (samsung sgh-i550) said that a previous version exists (0.9.3) and asks me to overwrite. I accept, but the Installation always fails! What can I do?

I am in much the same need as “106 Petere // May 8, 2009 at 4:06 am”, although using a Nokia 6110, it is not the same problem – Error Codes mean nothing to me without a decoder text somewhere?.

I already reported that the install 0.9.12 went fine – not direct though, I guess not available network connections with Voadafone UK to the phone, but I installed the downlaod via a PC. Then I was “tidying-up” my access permssions on the phone (not really connected with Twibble, I thought!). Now the Twibble app still seems to run OK, but reports: “Error: invalid JSON” and I do not see any Tweets. However Menu Options following show:
tweet [1|t]
DM [2|d]
Update (opens browser)
Options [0]
Exit
and appear to work OK!

Any ideas what I need to do, please?

i have a stange problem on my se w595. i can use twibble(0.9.12) without any problems with my personal account, but if i type in the name and passwort of my bands account i get error null when trying to download the tweets. changing the api root to https://twitter.com doesn’t help. any ideas? thanks.

Re post 119 I have found the phone needs to know each time it is switched on to use “contract Internet” for Twibble to work and then it seems to work OK. I guess I have to comment that it does not seem to hold a complete configuration, which is a bit annoying…

@thilo #95 tried your suggestions. Still same http property error. Any suggestions? Use Nokia N6300.

@thilo found something out. It is related to usernames with numbers in them (letts73). removing the numbers (letts_) solves issue!

hi, a feature request; twibble should decode html entity codes; for example see @indiewire entry: http://twitter.com/indiewire/status/1914527433 Tested on both AIR and mobile versions.

bug of twibble mobile 0.9.15:
I have hundreds of pictures in one folder, when I want to attach one of them, then twibble mobile show preview from old to new, and then shut down when read 30+? pictures.
so, I want to suggests: give us some choices, we can close preview, and when use preview, read newset first.

I have been trying to dowload the new mobile version for three days now, but when I keep getting a ‘909 Application Authentication Failure’ message. I have an LG Lotus. The previous version worked great and unfortunately I followed the advice on the download page and uninstalled it! I am sorely missing my Twibble – help!

@refe the best advice I can give you now is comment #336 of http://www.twibble.de/twibble-mobile/ Let me know if it works for you, too!

@thilo, just installed AIR and the desktop version, apparently this has expired? If so, could you roll up an new build?

@thilo – still no luck. When I try the url you give in comment #336 begins to load but never finishes. Members of my family who have the same phone are also having similar trouble. Any other ideas?

Just like 126 above, I am getting a 909 Application Authentication Failure message. In between my numerous attempts I went into my phone contents and updated the Firmware and the PRI (?) or something like that. No Luck. I really don’t like the idea of moving to a different application, please help! Phone is an LG Lotus on the Sprint network.

@refe @rick the problem is that the LG doesn’t accept the thawte certificate twibble has been signed with. LG seems to have similar probs with other signed Java apps, too. I found this link
http://www.locify.com/help/installation but can’t verify if it is any useful.

Any chance that you will release an unsigned version? I can’t seem to get my phone to recognize the thawte cert.

the only I can think off is to try to install the jar directly: http://www.twibble.de/sw/mobile/all/twibble.jar that’s an unsigned installation

@thilo – Downloading the jar directly worked a treat. Thanks mate. I thought I might have to find another client for a minute there. =(

just got a nokia e71x. having trouble trying to attach a photo to a tweet, quickly flashes a screen that says ‘no data’. I’m pretty sure i’m missing a step. help?

Just downloaded latest app for Nokia N95 8gb. Is there a way I do not have to enter my name and password everytime I start Twibble up? Didn’t have to continuously enter in prior version.

the newer version got hell lot of bugs.
1. After like 1 hour of usage, it crashed. Had to reinstall it again.
2. If someone twits a link, and I try to open it. It simply opens the browser. Does not open the link.
3. The photo attachment sucks.
4. I can’t see my replies, if i’m not following that person.
5. And DMs? Where are those? I can’t see them anywhere.

@Talad pls read docu before posting. flip through screens using right/left to see replies dms etc

@133 thilo
got the same problem with my Motorola E770. Direct downloading helped. Thanks.

since updating whenever i open twibble it asks me to connect and then exits the programme, have tried reinstalling but still having same probs. Any ideas?

Since installing the new version of Twibble on my Nokia 5800 I have been unable to use the programme, as whenever I start it up it asks me to allow it to connect and as soon as I do it then closes the programme. I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling twibble a few times, but still no luck. Any ideas?

Trying to install the latest version on my phone – I deleted the old expired app but am getting a message Certificate error (Chain does not exist) when trying to download the new version. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I installed Twibble on my SE W810i and had problems with the internet connection. After I solved it, I could use it with an test twitter account (lets call it alice). Then I changed the profile settings to my main twitter account (prometoys), but with “prometoys” I get “TimelineLoader couldn’t read from socket”. If I switch back to “alice” I don’t have any problem. I tried to delete twibble and install it again, but that doesn’t helped Any clue? A mail would be nice.

Thanks,

Keywan

Got latest version but where did the ‘SSL’ option go to? Also anyone else in the UK on three network getting a ‘rate limit exceded’ message constently??
Apart from that, love the program

you enable SSL by entering https://twitter.com in Options->Server API root. This should also help in case of ‘rate limit exceeded’ messages.

Can’t get it to install on my P1i – either from the phone’s browser or downloading the jar file. Any ideas?

Trying to install 0.09(17) on Nokia 6650 Fold, S60v3.
Immediately after seeing “Connecting”, it tells me “Compulsory attributes missing” and exits. Previous version seemed to work (mostly), but expired.

Hi I have the same problem as Vic (141), previous versions worked on my Nokia 5800, but new version June 1st does not open. I have tried the same as Vic. I am now going to try to enter https://twiter.com in server api and see if that helps

Ref 148. I have tried entering https://twitter.com in server api and it worked the first time I launched it, but after exiting and then restarting the app it closes after asking to connect then reverts back to “desktop” I have newest firmware on phoneV21.0.025.

Twibble on my n96-1 Just starts Say loading then the icon on the top land side of the screen highlights white and twibble shuts down.

I have to start the app maybe 30 – 40 times before eventually it works.

Hi Been trying again, I have now discovered a log file:

[Error] I will expire in 10 days. Please check http://www.twibble.de for updates

[Info} TwibbleMIDlet: running on Nokia5800d-1/21.0.025/sw_platform=S60:sw_platform_version=5.0;java_build_version=1.3.4

[info] TwibbleMIDlet: profiles MIDP-2.1

[Error} TwibbleSettingsload:cannot find record store file

[Error} AsyncProfileImageLoader run: null

Don’t know if that will help

Thanks

Running Twibble Desktop 0.4.6 beta on Windows XP Pro sp2…

Can’t seem to find the setting link any more! Could you please tell me where it has gone? I want to change what service it uses to ’shrink’ URL’s. Can this be done? If not, how about it? Surely we can use a URL service of our choosing instead of is.gd only?

i get network denied on my blackberry bold any ideas how to sort it ?

Got the same problem Matthew Davies @153 has; network denied. Using 0.9.19 for Nokia. It is a pity, i really like twibble, and actually use is the preferred interface foor twitter.

@matthew @Jasper you need to set the application permissions correctly. For Nokia it’s here: http://www.twibble.de/2009/05/23/setup-hints-for-twibble-mobile/ For BB this might help: http://forums.crackberry.com/f103/application-permissions-62322/

I did the Firewall thing on Curve 8320 and it still says network denied. Any ideas?

Update: Nevermind forgot the WAP stuff (Tmobile USA)

may be you need to set your APN correctly?

@155 thilo. Done that, actually dne it before you advised it. Still ‘network denied’. Can’t seem to find te log file btw.

@Jasper the log is on ‘9′ (or via the more submenu) Does it work when you change the Server API root to https://twitter.com or http://twitter.com?

http did the trick. However the more submenu is missing. I removed all jar files and reinstalled, still no more submenu, and hence still can’t see the log.

Hey, I got the same problem wit jasper. Has set the api server and also
The apps permission . Still can’t work. I love twibble tho, hope sb could help.

Hello, I try to install twibble mobile on my E71, running latest firmware (200.21.118). It always fail in the last step saying “installation not possible”, no matter what I try (JAD, JAR, install directly from the phone, install via Nokia installer) etc. It has NEVER been installed before, so there is nothing to remove. Any ideas anyone?

@mitchi did you try to install on a memory card or phone memory? The jad file should install with no problems. Btw, the latest firmware for the E71 is 300.21.012.

@thilo: Thanks for your answer. I tried both memory card and phone memory – same result. I updated the firmware yesterday online, so don’t know why it didn’t pick the 300.21.012. However, that doesn’t seem to be the problem. Any idea how I can debug this?

@mitchi when you try to install again it’s important to delete any previous twibble jars including those in your messages inbox. Then make sure you fetch the jad from m.twibble.de OTA

Hi – I’m using the Twibble client on a Sony Ericsson K800i:

Like the new version of Twibble so far but:

1: If you are going to force an update it would make sense for me to open the Twibble client and follow the update link from there – rather than preventing me from starting up and forcing me to find your site and download it after a frustrating fumble with my mobile browser.

2: Why do you force the update? I am using the client to follow Twitter not to have the latest version of Twibble. The forced updates stop me from doing what I want to do and are for the Twibble developers’ convenience not mine. Imagine if your desktop browser refused to let you access the web unless you updated to the latest version rather than politely informing you that a new version is available ready for you to download at your convenience. Also the previous version of Twibble seemed to work OK for me which brings me on to…

3: The client doesn’t seem to want to update my incoming Tweets – I have to restart every time to do this. Pressing the ‘*’ key doesn’t seem to work.

Positives:

I like the new skins and the fact that I don’t have to restart to activate them.

When I do downlaod new tweets the response is much faster.

Installed it today on a BB Curve 8320 OS 4.5 running on a corporate BES with Vodafone NL as the carrier. Despite changing the APN as described on your link to BB Forums and trying different API servers, I get “network denied”. Why is there no option to choose BIS like Ubertwitter or TwitterBerry? Do you have any workaround?

Probably it helps when you enter http://twitter.com in Options/server API root

Tried http://twitter.com in Options/server API root but still get “network denied”. I have the suspicion that APN is not provisioned by the provider and since it’s a corporate account, I can’t do anything about that. What about using BIS to connect to the internet?

@Perry thank you for your comments! The expiration thing will change in the final version. As for now there’s a counter in the log (press ‘9′) to tell you how many days still remain. twibble should automatically update when you enter an update period >0 in the Options. To manual update press ‘*’ or ‘u’ or select the corresponding menu entry (in latest Version 0.9.19).

Whenever I try to log in to my twitter account through twibble, it says “network denied”. That started after installing the new release 0.9.
My mobile is a Nokia 6500, checked almost everything in settings, but can’t get it back to work.

Read previous entries and changed API to http://twibble.com, it works. Thank you

Since the latest update im also getting ‘network denied’, if i try and tweet it says something about a certificate? Its been fine for months until this. Also on a Nokia 6500

My Blackberry Bold showed the error “access denied” after installed twibble & rebooted.. could not update all. even after tried changing API to a few other websites.. pls help

Same thing: “network denied”. I did everything you guys suggested. Still doesn’t work on BB curve.

How do you pick up / read incoming DM’s. I see that I can send one, but can not see how I can read any if they are replied to?

I also have the “network denied” error BUT it only occurs if I connect via gprs/umts not if i connect via WiFi. Twibble worked fine until the FORCED (I hate that) upgrade.

in most cases it helps when you change Options -> Server API root to http (rather than https). On BB also make sure your APN is correct

@David right/left key flips through the various timelines

Hi

I#m using twibble on an SonyEricson W810i and have the problem, that when i scroll down my tweets with the “down”-button scrolling doesn’t stop. it just runs though all my tweets.

The last update on July 12 is broken on my SonyEricsson W880i. I can still tweet but I can’t see any incoming tweets. All timelines are completely blank. Not even search works.

Well, I installed the Twibble. That’s Ok. But yesterday the version has expired, so, I installed again. The software doesn’ t open anymore and when I try to unistall it, the “Removal Failure”.
What can I do???
Tks!

Whenever I try a upload a pic to twitpic I get the message ‘Oops Bad Request” – any idea what that means?

Twibble worked fine on my nokia e63 ever since I installed it. Tried installing it on my e71 and it went smoothly. However, when I open the app it always says “Expired! Check twibble.de for updates” for both the signed and jar versions.

Does anyone have a solution?

twibble will stay free forever or we have to purchase a license to keep it working?

I have tried twibble on my curve 8330 and now on my storm 9530. I love this app, but after about 1 or 2 hours of updating every 30 minutes, it stops working and does not provide me any updates. I can close the program and nothing fixes it. I have to do a battery pull to get it to come back. It seems to only do this when I open the program 5 or so times during that time frame, which is a bit on the rediculous side if I can’t OPEN my program. I love the GUI of this program, but don’t understand why all of the sudden it just stops updating. Have you identified this problem? It seems to cause a memory leak on my blackberry too. Please email me medicthree@gmail.com @medicthree on twitter.

hello,

if i send text only all works fine (yeah!). if i append a picture i got ‘Oops … 800000019′.

tnx for help

So, strange thing happening with my Sony Ericsson K810i.
It seems I can only once send a tweet and when i try the second time, It hangs almost as if in a infinite loop while sending… i have to shut it down and restart.

pretty troubling.

Er — cannot find a way to add extra accounts …. help? Can I monitor each account separately on need or will they all be mixed together (which I really don’t want)

Sorry, I am trying to use the desktop version, forgot to mention that.

Great client, but there is one bug which I have during all time I know twibble (since version 19): if I scroll the twittline down it goes to the end of the list without stopping. pretty annoying. my phone is w810i.

Twibble does not work on my Siemens M75. I`m can`t save settings after first run – all keys assigned as joystick fire key.

Just confirming that wap.voicestream.com as APN with no username or pass does indeed allow twibble to work on my Blackberry Curve using T-Mobile service carrier. There was no need to change https://twitter.com to http… in the twibble options.

ich habe ein problem mit twibble auf meinem nokia e 71. ich kann es einmal starten aber sobald ich auf hide oder auf zb die nachrichten tase gehe lässt es sich nciht wieder starten
ich habe den auto chekcer auf 10 oder 5 oder 0 gesetzt es ändert sich nichts.
kann mir bitte jemand helfen???
würde mcih sehr freuen
da ich endlich mobil twittern möchte!!!

Hallo,

ich habe Nokia 5800 XM und die aktuellste Firmware drauf! Wenn ich die “hide”-Funktion nutze, dann wird twibble zwar korrekt gehided, aber ich bekomme es nicht mehr zurück geholt, es blinkt kurz 1 sekunde auf aber ich kriege es nicht mehr gestartet (abschiessen kann man es ja nicht)…
daher würde ich dies als fehler bezeichnen.

grüße,

Marco

@Marco von Nokia gibt’s http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-java-runtime-20-for-s60 Vielleicht hilfts? Auf anderen Nokias kann man im Task-Mgr Anwendungen notfalls schließen

[...] trouble with twibble [...]

Every time I try to update, it just says invalid uname/password.
I know they are correct… has anybody seen this? I’m running it on a blackberry 8900.

I am using BB 9000. And I am trying to connect to an internal instance of laconica. I get the uname/pwd error messge. Something about authorization in the logs on the client side. Any ideas???

I’ve been using Twibble for a while now, but only recently it’s been giving me an issue. Yesterday, I tried to update my timelines, and it said it was loading but then went back to “paperclippe’s tweets”. I know that sometimes when Twitter is over-capacity it does this, so I tried to update the timeline a few more times (it usually solves the problem, even when twitter is wonky). Nothing worked, so I downloaded the latest version (which looks quite nice by the way), but no matter what I do, my tweets will not load. Is this a Twitter issue? Is there anything I can do? I’m on a Blackberry 8310 and I’ve checked my username and password several times.

i can’t see a certain person’s tweet..it’s fine with the others..the search screen doesn’t load the person’s tweet..

I seem to have the same propblem as Paperclippe. Installed the new version today, cause the old one had expired, and now it’s not reloading tweets. If I exit, then start over again, the new tweets will appear. What is going wrong? Can anyone help me?

having issues with twibble since getting a nokia N97. works fine when you start it up, but if you hide it, then try to go back into the app, it goes crazy, as if it is trying to get to the “front” of the screen, but keeps getting “pushed back” by some other app, so you have to close the app and restart it, meaning you cant keep the app running in the background. which kinda defeats the point of it…

@wayne does it work any better with the new JavaVM for the N97? http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-java-runtime-20-for-s60

Everytime i try to tweet, it says ‘oops..HTTP Property con’ i cant see the rest because of the twibble sign, btw i have a Nokia 5310 Xpress Music. I can put photos on twitpic, but i cant tweet. Why is that?

Just installed v0.9.26 on my BB Storm (verizon).
When I scroll up/down in main view, results are reverse (down goes up).
Options page scroll appears correct/works scrollwise.
If I enable compatibility mode up/down direction is correct. Trouble making changes on option page.
Setting options (not in compat mode) appear over sensitive (ie theme list, any selection list).
If option change is made, no prompt to save.
Appears oversensitive to switching pages/left-right swipes
so far so good, thanks.

I was using twibble without any problem on my Skypephone (from 3) but recently it keeps displaying “security exception” with no further clue to what is wrong.

I’m having issues with location. I start the GPS then what do you after that? Help please. I have a Sprint 9630 TOUR!

The mobile clöient works fine with twitter.com. But how to access our own twitter server within the company ? How to configure the client to be able acces our server ?

When I try to tweet from my BB it brings me a message that reads: Tunnel failed

@thilo – installed new javaVM on my N97 but doesnt seem to have sorted things. in fact it has probably made things worse!

it doesnt download my tweets/updates, slide out the keyboard and put it in landscape mode, and the left/right buttons get all confused on the right hand side.

oh, and try to send a tweet, and you get “oops … Symbian OS error code :-5120″

HTH

When sending a picture via TwitPic i have an error “java.io.IOException
80000019″. Does anyone know why and how i can solve this?

I already activated my twibble but i still get the screen reminding me to activate my twibble.

Before i updated my twibble, it works fine but after updating it keeps asking me to activate. pls help

@regina could you pls try the latest Version 1.0.1. Also pls check if your user name you registered exactly matches the one you entered in twibble. If nothing helps pls e-mail support with your phone model. Thanks!

Hi, I’m using a Blackberry 8800 and I’m trying to log into my Identi.ca account. I keep getting a “Invalid uname/pwd” error. I double-checked to make sure I’m using the right uname/pwd combination and I am. Thanks for any feedback.

I would like to activate Twibble but don´t like to leave my data to Paypal. So what?
Klaus

Hey–
Just upgraded to Twibble 1.03; whenever it tries to use the network (after the confirmation), it crashed with the following error:
Application closed:
!jes-1f8-java-comms
@18898c

Any ideas?

Twibble leaks memory, pretty quickly too. Just watch it from the task manager.

Twibble 0.5.6-air (WinXP 32-bit, Air 1.5.2)

I payed the full version but my twibble does not recognize that!!

@roura356a Please note, the user name is case sensitive and must be the same you activated. Also make sure you’re using the latest version (1.0.3). You should see an ‘activated’ message in the twibble log after you’ve retrieved some tweets. If nothing helps please e-mail support with your phone model. Thx!

I just added twibble to my T-Mobile Blackberry 8900 – I set the # of tweets to 50 however, everytime it loads it only gives me 10 tweets, can anyone help?

I paid via paypal to upgrade to the full version of twibble mobile on 21st October. I have still not had activation information/email. I do have confirmation email from paypal that the money went out. I have twittered you with no response and there doesn’t appear to be ANY information on this site about an email/phone contact number for problems. If you are now charging money for your apps you HAVE TO HAVE better service. I would appreciate and email from you in the next 24 hours so that I have someone to liaise with as to what’s gone wrong. VERY DISGRUNTLED. I am using a Samsung Tocco Ultra.
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

you should have received an e-mail from us right after your payment. If not please also check your spam folder. It contains some information what to do if something does not work as expected. It is important you enter your screen name in twibble exactly in the same way as the one you activated (it is case sensitive!).
We also have a support e-mail at support (at) spiderlabs.de. All requests are usually answered very quickly within 24 hours.

Best,
Thilo

Hi,
Could twibble run in Samsung H1 with LiMo SO?
Thanks!

I have the same concern as Sarah Harris. I still have not received the confirmation e-mail even if I checked my Spam. So I have limited access of twitter on my mobile. Please respond to this, or better yet, send the confirmation e-mail already.

Eva, please also make sure your PayPal payment went through successfully. If it fails for some reason you won’t receive any confirmation e-mail from us. If it was ok please e-mail support including the PayPay transaction number. They will help you very quickly.

Hey there. Loved twibble until I updated my Verizon
Blackberry Storm to 5.0.0. Now Twibble crashes. HELP

Now that Twibble has been a paid-for client for some time you have to adopt a more professional and flexible feedback and issue tracking system, something like getsatisfaction or uservoice if you don’t want to roll your own. A single, non-threaded page like this is very poor for a paid-for application.

I have some minor issues with Twibble that I’d like addressed, but this format makes dialogue with the developers obtuse to say the least.

Can’t upload my pictures and i am using a Nokia E63
Works too slow

I’m using Twibble on Nokia E71. Opening urls from a tweet where the url is followed by a #hashtag does not work for me.
It looks like twibble detects an \n newline after the url and the url is not being passed to the browser.

I activated Twibble a while ago, but now I changed my username. How can I get full acces to my account again??

Over two weeks and no response, huh? Poor show, that, considering this is the only feedback forum available.

@Jeanette just e-mail support (a t) spiderlabs.de. They will change your user name in the data base.

@Gordon I completely agree to your point. A blog is definitely not the best way to provide feedback in a structured way. However, everything will be read and any feedback is very much appreciated. If you have any issues with your activation you can always e-mail support (a t) spiderlabs.de.

I m unable to use it with my Nokia 6300! When I coose “Refresh” it says “Error”. I can write and post my tweets but I can’t read my timeline. Ewerytine I read (no tweets).

Mine says JSR not available, and it doesn’t show “lonecat home” tweets. I have a Sony Ericsson W395.

Twibble even works on my Nokia 2700, but the font size is too small for its little screen. Is it possible to increase it?

OK, here are some things that I’d like you to look at. I am using a Sony Ericsson K660i and Twibble 1.0.3
1) Twitpic no longer works since v1.x, it gets stuck at 18% then fails. Mobypicture works fine.
2) Occasionally the refresh does nothing and searches return no results. Not sure if this is caused by a socket problem or similar, but even if I force a reconnect to my network and can browse using Opera Mini etc. Twibble still fails to connect. I have to reboot the phone to get it working again. I appreciate this might be a tricky one to nail down.
3) Selection of pictures from media folders is *very* slow. Even with only a few hundred pictures it can take a minute or more to list them all. Ability to view recent thumbnails is not available until the folders have been listed, so it becomes a real pain to send pictures unless the memory card is constantly emptied. Native media listing on the phone is very quick, so I’m assuming this should be fixable as management of media from other Java apps is faster.
4) Image of attachment is sometimes missing once you return from the file select screen to Twibble, meaning you have to send the tweet without confirmation that the correct file is attached.
5) Please allow the ability to create tweets more than 140 characters, but turn the text red (or similar) and prevent sending until the tweet is back uner 140 characters.
6) It would be nice to have the ability to mark tweets as favourites.

downloaded paid app some weeks ago on my storm but it’s still saying it isn’t activated. support suggested a reinstall, which i did, or connecting through wifi, which i can’t do.
can anyone help me?

Hi I paid for the full version but my device does not recognize it? Anyone know why?
Thanks

Like @Gordon, I cannot use the “mark as favorite” either. I am using a Sony Ericsson C905. Also I cannot (un)follow people. The favorite option would be cool, since you cannot always follow links on your cellphone. Maybe an option to e-mail a tweet would be a nice to have. With an optional default email address that’s already filled in when you want to send.

I just added twibble to my Blackberry 8330. It won’t show me any tweets, claims my username / password isn’t correct, but I’m sure I entered it right. Do I need to register my username & password somewehre with twibble? Or pay before I’ve had the option to try it out? Please help me.

i have a doubt, is it free or it will charge you for the time you’re online?

@Gordon @Rolandow in the main menu (Joystick/Fire) there are options to mark a tweet as favourite and also to (un)follow people. Do you mean you can’t access them or they do not work as expected?

im trying to download the app to my phone, sanyo scp 2700, but i cant, i earse everything you guys said, but i still have trouble downloading it,
