"unable to load trending topic"

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

kindkong, I have the exact same problem as you.  Seriously, is Nokia doing anything about it. I am sure some Nokia employees are in this forum. So, is there any permanent solution to it? If I were to reset the phone, do I select 'Restore Settings' or 'Clear device'?

 

Apart from not being able to connect to Twitter, I also have the following to ask:

 

1. Is there a way to log out from the existing Facebook account like in Snaptu? The other day, my friend wanted to use my phone (his phone was low on battery) to access his Facebook account but he could not.

 

2. Is the Compass working in the 'Open Applications' screen? Mine is not but in the demo video, it did!

 

Any help at all is much appreciated.

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

there is a bug in the twitter application that should be released in the pr1.1 that is coming in next couple of weeks to fix it.

it will also allow for the twitter application to upload a picture as well. (currently that is not an option)

you can alos use the html twitter webpage, then just create a shortcut in the applications list. that is wwhat i had to do.

the issue is fixed after you reformat the device. it usually works the first time and if you delete the twitter account and then try again, is where the bug is.

hope that helps.


you may want to start a new thread about the WiFi issues.

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

OK, if reformatting the device, how can I ensure that I don't trigger the issue again? For me twitter worked OK, but I had to reformat because the Nokia account didn't work - and after reformatting, neither the Nokia account *nor* twitter worked!

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

ok, i 'Restore settings' (not 'Clear device') but Twitter is still not working. i think i have to wait for the software upgrade.

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

use this.  worked on my unit!

 

open xterm (do not devel-su into the terminal)
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso

 

this will clear all your internet connections and wifi setups.  but it will make your twitter able to work.

 

you can just resellect your wifi accounts and reconnect to them and also your carrier internet connection as well.

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

hmm.

go to:

settings/applications/feeds

and make sure you are good with what you want there.

settings/notifications/Feed on home screen

and be sure that you toggle the twiiter tweets.


having dev mode enable/disabled is not going to make a difference on your device unless you try to do something that requires it to be on.

its like having a turbo on your car. do you need it....not really, but, when you want to use it, its always good to have it!

:smileywink:

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

thanks for the pointers ceroberts75

 

actually, everything was set correctly. It was the internet connection that was missing after i did what u suggested in developer mode in order to make Twitter works

 

so what i did was shut down the phone and turn it on again and feeds are pouring in :smileyvery-happy:

 

thanks again and have a nice day!

Re: Nokia n9 built in twitter app not working

You don't need to clear all your internet connections and wifi setups to get rid of those misused proxy configurations.

That can be achieved easily from the UI by editing your network access point(s), going to advanced settings, setting proxy type to MANUAL and emptying the proxy host and port fields there.

If you are already connected, then you need to reconnect to get the new settings applied.
