Default Twitter problems this morning? - 09-01-2010, 11:44 AM

Having probs with the default twitter client on the streak? (I was) turns out it's a wider than streak problem: HTC Peep cooked, served a l'orange by Twitter's new authentication scheme -- Engadget

I got around it by installing touiteur - which is actually much better than the default client.

Assuming you are using 2.1, the default twitter client on the streak is an old version of the official twitter app, which never updates itself, hense the problem.

If you search on the market and install the official twitter app, that should fix the problem.

It's a bit of a shocker that HTC's own Peep app has fallen foul of this. I use twidroid and they sorted this problem well in advance of the twitter authentication change.... very sloppy on HTC's part! And a bit stupid of dell to install default apps that don't update!

Yeah, not that keen on default twitter app - prefered the 4x3 widget that the 1.6 had.

But happy with the touiteur - just shame not free

Twitter changed their login protocol recently, which essentially messed up all apps at some point. You will probably get email from them soon.


Please do not send me support requests via PM.

Hi guys, I'm not somebody who use Twitter, however with this O2, 2.1 business I created an account last night, and put my details on Streak 's native Twitter app, but it says I got wrong Email, password combination, but I know my details are correct. Any ideas?

Yep, read above posts. Old twitter app on Streak, new OAuth system for logging in on Twitter.
