Twitter Forbidden?

user13 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-03-2010, 01:51 AM

All of a sudden i get download error"the account was forbidden to access the twitter service" when trying to download tweets on the scene tab.

- I haven't changed anything on my phone and i can access the account from my computer

Is there a way to fix this?

TIA =)

Just in case you are interested, here's an article explaining the whole thing:

I realize this is an extremely old thread, but i was wondering if anyone still uses Peep or if there is something else made for the TP2 that still works with Twitter? Stock Sprint 6.1 rom.

I do still use Peep when I want to read tweets. But I also have recently used Panoramic MoTweets and Frother. Either of those would be fine for my uses but I do not really use Twitter as some may, so I always come back to Peep, since it is integrated in Sense. Panoramic MoTweets is the most feature rich and pollished looking if memory serves, but Frother was seeing development as recently as this year and is skinnable. Try either and see if they serve your purposes better.

Oh and your mileage may vary as I am on a 6.5.x rom.
