Twitter for BlackBerry updates to v1.1.0.17 for BlackBerry Beta Zone members

By Michelle Haag on 12 Mar 2011 12:00 pm

If you are a member of the BlackBerry Beta Zone then here's some news for you. The Twitter for BlackBerry beta has updated to v1.1.0.17 and is available for download. They fixed a ton of bugs that were reported by beta testers, so make sure you download this one. There are still some known issues that RIM is working on as well as some requests for additions to the application, so you'll want to be sure to read through those on the site when you download. As this update is part of the Beta Zone program, a new keycode is required for the app to work after installation. A new one will be emailed to you, so be sure your contact information is up-to-date. Mine arrived in my inbox before I even finished downloading the application, so hopefully they are quick for everyone.

Some of the fixes include:

Push @mention issues
Updates to Geo-tweeting User Interface
Errors with posting/opening shortened links
Occasionally when you send a Direct Message, the message fails stating "Cannot send a message to a user who is not following you"
Lock icon overlaps the Name in the conversation screen for protected user
Conversation Screen font does not change until it is reloaded
Notification count includes non-followed users mentions
Shortening link not working, original link not getting replaced
Twitter is not listed under social feeds application options
Delayed/bad char count on conversation message screen on Pearl
After sending a long message and receiving a short message, the 2 messages overlap on the conversation list screen
Additional fixes for those people using the app in French

No thumbnail or pic description is shown.

Also, on MY torch, pressing and holding a tweet doesn't always bring up the menu.

if only the copy and paste works... I can't even copy my keycode to the app for test lolz

The key code I was given to test the previous version didn't work and I could never get a response from them. They say they want feedback and want to fix issues but I beg to differ. Think I will stick with the latest official version since the Beta Zone doesn't care as they say they do.

Has anyone else found that the Beta Zone website renders horribly on the BlackBerry Browser, or is it just me? It's very slow and you can't see the buttons. Ridiculous.

Can they fix it so that iwhen it refreshes/updates, it keeps your place on the last tweet you've read instead of taking you to the top or most recent post?

telephonemike Mar 13, 2011 at 12:25 pm

I deleted it and went for the stock version in App World as I couldn't get the key code to copy.

If that doesn't work, I'm out!

hold the shift key + track pad in the e-mail and it will allow u to highlight text then copy. @Nifty5

Its such a headache going all the way down my timeline to my last read twitter..Some said hit the end button to leave screen.But when i do that i still end up scrolling down to the last twitter when going back to my timeline

Am I the only one having the freezing problem, sometimes when I try to access it it wont open right away i clear by log and wait and even then it still takes forever. This happened with the previous beta version and now this one. Its not the phone because i can access bbm and all other applications. Help! ps i am running OS 5.0 on a 8900
