copy/paste from pocketnow..:
Twitter has long announced that they'd switch to the new authentication method called OAuth which would be more secure. The problem with the old method was that applications had to store your user name and password in order to access Twitter so the new OAuth method will overcome this possible security flaw.
But together with this come the problems related to software that is not kept up to date to reflect and implement the new methods which are used as default now by Twitter. Unfortunately, HTC's Twitter client, Peep, is one of those apps that stopped working and imagine my surprise this morning when I wanted to check the tweets while drinking coffee and was presented with the screen attached. Hope HTC will release their updated version of the app as soon as possible since we know they don't want to lose any users in their Peep pool.
And guess what, moving from the HD2 to my Desire (in my desperate and naive attempt to read some news), I was surprised to find out that Peep for Android is facing the same problems, and it became clear to me that HTC has to make a move, quick!
Strange though that I managed to tweet from Peep some two hours ago!... - probably my last tweet from Peep for a while, hope it'll be short.
That's explains everything
This sucks!!!!!!!!!!
this sucks man! I twittered HTC and posted a notice on their Facebook wall, hope that they come with a fix ASAP!!!!!! Unbelievable that they had months notice to fix this problem. We also still waiting on a ROM update which they promised us since April! Its now September and still no official ROM update!
Its kind of ridiculous that HTC didn't change Peep to the OAuth method before rolling out FroYo. Now we have to wait for yet another update to fix our twitter clients.
Anyway, any alternative Twitter apps for Leo/WM6.5 which do still work? Preferably one with some cool extra functions
Yeah, I noticed this too.. Oddly enough it still works for posting new tweets.
I hope they will fix this with a simple/quick CAB update (or exe, like with the camera). Saves the hassle of backing up again.
But thanks to the XDA community, it will probably be cabbed anyways.. <3
Maybe we will need to wait to twitter again until they release windows mobile 7

I know twikini posted a while back (I can't post links but a search of "twikini stops updates" will get you there) that they would not update their app to support OAuth so that on 8/31 is would stop working. Seems as if Peep does not support OAuth either. Not sure us HD2 owners will be getting an update given the state of WM 6.5 and WM7 around the corner.
For WinMO, I use Panoramic MoTweets they updated to support OAuth in version 1.8.4

Was posted on an other thread
Butt I don't like the way motweets's works and his layout so this could be an option for people who want to try
As much as I love the HD2, I can't stand HTC's "support", more like lack of, lmao! They seem to make a phone & drop it like an ex girlfriend with a scat fetish, then move on to the next one!
Thank god for xda & you talented individuals or this phone would be near useless by now.
I love the Peep feature, it's my preffered way of tweeting & reading tweets. On Desire I love tweetcaster & tweetdeck, two awesome apps, which naturally means they won't be available for Windows......grrrrr!
I'm sure if enough people complain to HTC regarding it, they will address it. Expecially since T-Mobile is still selling the HD2.
I do admit it's discouraging though that it's not already fixed, considering the time given to address it
I dont use Peep but do use both MoTweets and PockeTwit,
only MoTweets is working now.
love u guys
i was wondering why peep wasn't workin i know if i got a problem to always come to xda thanks
Those of you on WinMo who already have Kinoma Play for its media features can use its Twitter app as well. If you don't have Kinoma yet, you're missing out. It's well worth the purchase.
I'm hoping Peep gets fixed as well, but at least I've got a stand-by.
Any clever coders out there working on an unofficial patch?
Wow good thing I read this post cause I almost resorted to a hard reset!
Official reply from HTC
I got this official reply from HTC today:
Hi, We are currently investigating an issue with our Peep client that has stopped working and hope to have a solution soon. Please monitor the support pages for updates, or if you prefer we can record your details and contact you again once a solution is available, You can use the official twitter app for the time being. This is unaffected, HTC are currently working on the authorisation required for peep to work on our handsets, an update should be available soon. Thank you for contacting HTC Europe Best Regards Luke HTC Europe.
Seems like it's going to take them a while to resolve this. We're already waiting since April on a new ROM update so I doubt if an official update will be deployed since Windows 7 will be debuting in December.
In the mean time, download moTweets, it works excellent!!!!!!! Does anybody know how to replace the twitter tab in Sense with moTweets? That would be excellent, but I don't know how.
If anyone knows, please post how to.
THANKS!
I recieved the email below of Twitter. as far I see they will deliver updates to change the Oauth login
Over the coming weeks, we will be making two important updates that will impact how you interact with Twitter applications. We are sending this notice to all Twitter users to make sure you are aware of these changes.
What are applications?
There are over 250,000 applications built using the Twitter API. To use most applications, you first authorize the application to access your Twitter account, after which you can use it to read and post Tweets, discover new users and more. Applications come in many varieties, including desktop applications like TweetDeck, Seesmic, or EchoFon, websites such as TweetMeme, fflick, or Topsy, or mobile applications such as Twitter for iPhone, Twitter for Blackberry, or Foursquare.
Update 1: New authorization rules for applications
Starting August 31, all applications will be required to use “OAuth” to access your Twitter account.
What's OAuth?
- OAuth is a technology that enables applications to access Twitter on your behalf with your approval without asking you directly for your password.
- Desktop and mobile applications may still ask for your password once, but after that request, they are required to use OAuth in order to access your timeline or allow you to tweet.
What does this mean for me?
- Applications are no longer allowed to store your password.
- If you change your password, the applications will continue to work.
- Some applications you have been using may require you to reauthorize them or may stop functioning at the time of this change.
All applications you have authorized will be listed at http://twitter.com/settings/connections.
- You can revoke access to any application at any time from the list.
Update 2: t.co URL wrapping
In the coming weeks, we will be expanding the roll-out of our link wrapping service t.co, which wraps links in Tweets with a new, simplified link. Wrapped links are displayed in a way that is easier to read, with the actual domain and part of the URL showing, so that you know what you are clicking on. When you click on a wrapped link, your request will pass through the Twitter service to check if the destination site is known to contain malware, and we then will forward you on to the destination URL. All of that should happen in an instant.
You will start seeing these links on certain accounts that have opted-in to the service; we expect to roll this out to all users by the end of the year. When this happens, all links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps will be wrapped with a t.co URL.
What does this mean for me?
- A really long link such as http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 might be wrapped as http://t.co/DRo0trj for display on SMS, but it could be displayed to web or application users as amazon.com/Delivering- or as the whole URL or page title.
- You will start seeing links in a way that removes the obscurity of shortened links and lets you know where each link will take you.
- When you click on these links from Twitter.com or a Twitter application, Twitter will log that click. We hope to use this data to provide better and more relevant content to you over time.
Thanks for reading this important update. Come and check what's new at http://twitter.com.
Thanks,
The Twitter Team

Each time I tried using SPB brain evolution 2 from the market I get messed up / black background (once in the main menu or games). The games uses opengl, for stuped menues, and something is messed up on sgs2. It was running fine on HD2-android, so that is not a game problem.
What I tried:
1. I had updated to KH3 firmware
2. Tried Chainfire 3d with plugings + shaders
3. Installed a different ROM (I am fun of MIUI)
still nothing changed
Can anyone confirm he has it running on their sgs2? Can anyone provide an intellegent guess on what it could be?
The android market says "This app is incompatible with your O2 Samsung GT-I9100."
It also says in the description "If you have any questions or comments, please email us at [email protected]."
The link to the developer's webpage also has the option to seek out technical support: http://www.spb.com/android-software/brainevolution/support.html though since Samsung Galaxy S II doesn't appear to be supported, you won't be able to specify it on the drop down list on there.

I figured out that much. What could be the reason?
I think you might have missed the point of my post. If you contact them for support, maybe you'll find out.
Usually it doesn't results, however I just did, I will post their replay

This is what happeneds with closed software. Not much you can do about it...
The application has been updated. Works with done minor bugs now.

If you want the kindle, here's how using linux, works with latest WebOS.
1. Download & install the Palm SDK for linux
2. Just download the app file here.
http://bayfiles.com/file/RB7/oE4hSN/com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk
Go to the folder you downloaded and type this command while connected with usb cable to your touchpad, or just install the app any other way you know how.
palm-install com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk
Thank you, works perfectly. I put the ipk in my dropbox and installed it with preware without bothering with usb. It also syncs with the Amazon.co.uk accounts without a complaint.
Kindle App still available
As per title,I have searched everywhere,googled it.It was once available but i cannot for the life of me find out to where to download it from.
Any ideas?
Thanks
It has been withdrawn in Europe ( I think) but the US beta version can be had. If I remember correctly I downloaded it from webosbuzz and loaded it using webOS quick install through my desktop. You can still use a UK Amazon account to buy books despite the way the app was obtained. I'm not at home just now so I can't confirm that's where I got it but if you can't find it there post again and I'll double check.
I can't find the .ipk on the site you mentioned. If it's allowed (surely it must if it's a free app) would someone be able to post the updated .ipk on here?
This is the link to where I found it. XDA doesn't seem to allow me to upload it directly
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1779584324/Kindle.ipk
If that won't take you straight there then the link was from Webosbuzz within the HP touchpad apps forum. That particular forum is private so you have to creat an account.
Good luck.
Ps the app seems to work ok. I have been able to get books from Amazon uk- no sideloading though.
Found the newest version: http://hotfile.com/dl/128523150/76e47a4/com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk.html
The page turning makes all the difference.
cheers, I'll try that later.

I found this version much buggier than the 0.10.494660 version - it tends to give a blank white screen much more regularly than the older version gives a blank grey screen!
thanks dude, precentral keeps taking down the ipk everytime someone posts it

That is quite some high horse your sitting on fella. It is easy for you to say that when you live in a land where the kindle app has not been withdrawn. Us euro users just want the same services that you have, after all we did pay more for our touchpads than you guys ever did.
It's not theft, it is digital liberation.

Looks like the geniuses at PayPal decided that my Galaxy S2 isn't grand enough to run their simple new app and decided to block the download.
Can somebody please get the APK for me? I'd really appreciate it too if you could paste your prop file so I can get it to download properly on my phone.
Thanks in advance, hate to be a nuisance but I'm not very good with Market tweaks.

Thanks for the effort Jesse, but this is PayPal, I need PayPal Here. It's a new app. Supposedly it's a manufacturer campaign, and it'll be released globally when they launch their plugin card reader (like Square). If you're having trouble finding it in the store, try the link in my post, if you still can't get it I guess we're in the same boat.

This was installed on my Inspire4G through PlayStore, then I used TitaniumBackup to copy it over to my Vivid. If the .apk above doesn't work, just use the TitaniumBackup files enclosed in the RAR file below.

Yeah I dont understand this blocking either. Paypal sent us the swipe device (hardware for the phone) and asked us to download an iPhone app ??? Even though we stated we only use real phones - Android. When I went to the market to download for the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 it was blocked.
Thanks for the files before - will try them out on the Samsung to see if i can get it working.

I should point out that I tried the uploaded APK on my phone (Sorry, shoulda replied!) - it does function, lets me login, but my account isn't "part of the beta program" or some crap like that. I noticed when I had my earbuds plugged in, when opening the app, I heard a loud squelching sound - I'm guessing that's how the app confirms connection the the swipe attachment. If I'm right, it should work fine.
It did work for me, however couldn't get a decent GPS signal which Paypal needs. I also noticed it's version 1.0.0 and i think the current version is 2.7.2.
Anyway paypal called us today to inform us they are working on a release for Australia for Samsung galaxy s2 android. We'll wait and see.....
Hey
I had the same problem ..
Download it from 4shared or any black markets .. i did it and its working
Just if anyone was still looking for this file:

No way I'm going to download a app from 4shared, or any "black markets" that has access to my money...
That's never a good Idea.
Could someone with a high rep on XDA, please upload the PayPal Here app to Dropbox?
New update, and I can't use the app unless I update. But they decided to block my DroidX2. PLEASE could someone upload the latest to dropbox, I use this for my business.
Is there anyone that can post the latest apk? it's version 1.5.1
Does anyone have the 1.6.2 APK? It's the one previous to the current version
most updated paypal here .apk
this is on my forum page just register and download.
i just uploaded the most recent apk for the paypal here app to my forums i would post a link but i can't because i need 10 post
anyway its at double u x3 dot pcrepairforums dot com then go to off topic at the bottom and it has its own forum name. you may have to register to download
Hi i am unable to download the PayPal here app as I reside in Jersey, tried Google app store and also PayPal,but to no avail
so there's a free book on Play Store about making photos with Android smartphones:
The basics, and I do mean basics, are covered here. The book opens with a description of the best way to hold a phone for both horizontal and vertical pictures, and while this may seem obvious to some users, there's no shame in admitting if your picture-taking form could use some work.
This book is written with the Nexus line of products in mind, and it's geared towards users running Android 4.2.2 or higher. If you have a Nexus 4 and are moving over from an HTC or Samsung product, this is a good way to get familiar with the latest version of the stock Android app. Brown provides pictures and goes through all of the app's options. Once you've taken your photo, there are sections dedicated to both sharing it and editing it using third-party applications such as Snapseed.
