Its what i've been waiting for.. no more need for yatca

 
 
Posted by ipad Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Yatca let you to saves your tweets and your friend tweets, I think Yatca is better

 
 
Posted by Doug Mataconis Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Yatca would be great if it were a standalone program.

Because it integrates itself into the BB Messenger, it is just to damn annoying to be useful. I don't need Tweets showing up in the same place I check for emails and SMS messages.

yatca lets you post photos to twitpic via BIS. Twitterberry does not

 
 
Posted by Anonymous31234545 Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Twitterberry lets you post twit pics via bis. I do it all the time. Just make sure in the connections settings your connection mode is set to TCP.

 
 
Posted by lemos Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

that's not via BIS. That uses APN, and my mobile network charges for that traffic

didn't expect this... downloading now.

 
 
Posted by geewhipped Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1161 days ago

Maybe it is the theme I'm using, but there is no apparent indication that I have a tweet selected (for then selecting "view timeline" etc)... it doesn't seem to highlight or change color or anything like that. Also, I can't seem to click on links contained within tweets. I can click on @so-and-so, but can't click on http://tinyurl/whatever

overall, shows a lot of promise, tho. I'll stick with it.

 
 
Posted by skitchbeatz Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

There needs to be an icon that lets you know that you have a new tweet and not just an LED flashing when the program is in the background. Once Twitterberry gets this it will be a killer app. This is not difficult I assume but I am not a coder so I don't know

@SocialScope is what it's all about, all these features have been in SocialScope for a while ;)

 
 
Posted by SocialScope Lover Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I agree... since I installed SocialScope every other Twitter app has been uninstalled. I'm glad to see TwitterBerry getting some of these features, but its got some serious catching up to do.

 
 
Posted by otto Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

SocialScope would be cool maybe if they ever sent out invites. I requested one months ago and have not heard squat.

 
 
Posted by CmbtSwmr7 Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I have been trying for about the same amount of time..

I heard they are currently focusing on Bold users ATM. Storm is next? Who knows?

 
 
Posted by itsajdamnit Monday, Mar 23, 2009 1159 days ago

Follow socialscope on twitter then ask them for an invite on there. I did and they sent me an email the next day.

 
 
Posted by sqlgeek Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

On the Storm the links do not work, I can't click on the username and it rotates into Landscape just fine. It did not automatically put me in compatability mode, so that may be part of the issue...

 
 
Posted by koala07 Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

Not all of the "@username" and "http://tinyurl.com/.." have a hyperlink indicated with "........" underneath, I've only noticed that a select few do and I don't know why. I believe this was mentioned by someone else earlier. I may have to switch back to v0.8 for the time being =P

 
 
Posted by kmully Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

On BB Storm: Links work for me, rotation to landscape was fine, but same problem as listed above... can't tell what tweet you have clicked on if you want to reply to it. Needs to highlight that tweet.

 
 
Posted by yemd Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

same here. this new version definitely shows promise though

 
 
Posted by slashette83 Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

Ive never been able to send pictures from my Curve 8330 to TwitterBerry... Any ideas why?? Is there some kind of setting I need to change??

 
 
Posted by calikola Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

I finally figured this out when using version 0.8. Make sure your connection setting is set to TCP. I've also found that the picture has a better chance of being uploaded if the picture is zoomed in.

I'm hoping the 0.9 beta gets rid of the zooming necessity.

 
 
Posted by Witac Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

when tweeting a picture using the send to twitterberry function..you hit update...you see the scrolling bar...your get super excited that its working...and then at 100 percent

your blackberry storm will reset...sad

just me?

 
 
Posted by MajorXero Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

Nope, me too. Damn. Sending a pic through TwitterBerry didn't work at all before on my Storm, now it's just teasing me.

Well, at least it's progress.

 
 
Posted by geewhipped Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

used to work fine for me in .8 ...
now it reboots the phone.
funny part is that my pic made it to twitpic, but the tweet never made it to twitter.

 
 
Posted by ThatsG Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I have the same problem. The easiest way around it (and also a faster way to post pics in general) is to email it directly to your TwitPic account. You can find your TwitPic email address under the settings tab on TwitPic. I ran a test on it and it works though the Twitter update will take a few minutes.

 
 
Posted by lemos Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

try Yatca. Everything is done automatically

 
 
Posted by PvT Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

For TwitPic I have mine set to TCP (this version and the previous one) Same as above, I can't click links which is a huge part of my Twitter experience. I can live with the scrolling of tweets where I kinda know, what's going on.

Selecting a link for now will be painstaking, select, copy and paste into BB Browser manually.

I'm intrigued with the improvements otherwise :-)

 
 
Posted by Geos Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

It has frozen up my phone by taking away app memory, I assume, but I'm not sure. Even immediately after a battery pull the screen was VERY laggy. Also, ALL of my calendar appointments are gone. I'm pretty sure this happened after I loaded TwitterBerry.9. As of right now, I'm searching for a new Twitter app. Heck, I'm hoping the whole "TweetTweet " plan comes to fruition. But for now, I'm going back to my policy of not testing betas.

 
 
Posted by Chad1008 Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 1160 days ago

After the first few minutes I'm a HUGE fan of the upgrade! The Tweets are MUCH more readable, and the "background on close" option is great!

More importantly, I had previously been having trouble with the notifications... if I got a reply it would keep notifying me every time it refreshed until I restarted the app, now that problem seems to be fixed!

Only issues I've noticed so far:

-Can't click on the name of the person sending the tweet (but @names within tweets as well as other links work fine) to view their time line, but you can do so through the menu, so no big deal, really.
-As mentioned before, highlighting the selected tweet would be helpful
-Screen lags a bit when switching from the "update" screen to time line screen.

For a beta, I give it an A+

 
 
Posted by jesthestar Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Works great on my curve!

 
 
Posted by samsams Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Downloading it now. I love 0.8, TwitterBerry is my most used app. With new RT function (as in TwitterFox) the addiction will only grow more. Thx @crackberry

 
 
Posted by plumbrains Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Downloaded and installed fine but however when ever I try to open the application it totally freezes my phone up. I did two battery pulls before I finally got rid of it.

Am I missing something? Or doing something wrong?

 
 
Posted by flamingkitties Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

They could have fixed that issue with uploading to Twitpic, ie: doesn't like anything above 90kb and refuses to send. BAH.

 
 
Posted by QUIK LS1 Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

This beta version kept making my 8330 freeze up each time I'd open Twitter. Had to reboot each time and finally put the 0.8 version back instead.

 
 
Posted by admjmass Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

rolling back to 0.9 i wish i had socialscope.

 
 
Posted by aubiker Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

The url's in tweets are not highlited and can not be clicked. In the process of deleting and rolling back to 0.8. Will try it again when there is an indication the problem has been corrected.

 
 
Posted by Hioncrack Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Same issue as above. I like the new layout, and see promise, but need to have the hyperlink, and @username clickable.

 
 
Posted by PvT Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I liked that it showed promise, ie: whole Tweet viewable & RT, but with Hyperlink being unclickable, it's a dealbreaker for me. I can retweet quite easily in 0.8 by copying tweet, then going back to the tweet, click reply, insert an RT infront of the twitter'ers name and then pasting the text behind that.

As I type, 0.9 is removed and I have 0.8 googled up on my BB Bold "Twitterberry 0.8 download"

 
 
Posted by gvegas864 Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

At first this .09a looked awesome but as I used it disappointment set in. Hyperlinks were not clickable and when clicking on Get Replies the app would freeze. I could escape and go back to the Update screen but could not get my replies. I did several battery pulls and deleted and reinstalled twice but these problems persisted. The new interface is wonderful and very friendly but the functionally just is not there. This was on a Bold running 4.6.0.247.

 
 
Posted by sortedlives Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I just got a crackberry yesterday and downloaded twitterberry and cannot figure out how to do the pics. Can someone help? Thanks!!

 
 
Posted by Bippy Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I like it much better!

 
 
Posted by justinygg Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I really like the layout now and it is working great for me!

 
 
Posted by Mark W Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

Downloaded, tried it out and uninstalled within 10 minutes. Locks up on my 8330 curve. Also, links were not clickable. Back to .8 for me. I guess there is a reason they call it beta.

 
 
Posted by geewhipped Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

I think we've given them enough feedback for .9a ... lemme know when the next beta (or rc) is available and I'll try again, but I'm back to .8 until then.

 
 
Posted by BBTelus8330 Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1160 days ago

its a improvement since 0.8 i'll stick with it cause its one small issue but its slow to bring up my tweets/replies and follower/following's tweets.

0.8 was almost instant, 0.9a seems to freeze for a split second then brings up updated lists of tweets.

I hope a new update is issued out soon to resolve the slowness.

i dont see any thing that says twitpic in twitterberry. am I crazy or are all ya'll? :(

 
 
Posted by Hockeychik99 Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1159 days ago

I downloaded this, and I really like that you get the whole tweet on screen now, instead of having to click on the tweet to read it. A friend of mine complains that TwitterBerry doesn't do the reply function right, because it doesn't provide a link to the list of replies, but otherwise, I'm happy with it!!!

 
 
Posted by Reefman Sunday, Mar 22, 2009 1159 days ago

Every time I try to go to the download area It only gives me version 0.8???

How do you get the new beta version???

 
 
Posted by DavidHOxford Monday, Mar 23, 2009 1159 days ago

Same here, Reefman - I only see v0.8. I have shortened the ota download page to http://tr.im/twitbb to speed things up a bit in future and to get my colleagues to get the update with making them bookmark it. I'm mostly looking forward to 1.0 if they ever dare.

 
 
Posted by j.p.hatfield Monday, Mar 23, 2009 1159 days ago

tried BIS and TCB doesn't recognize my User/PW...woot am i doing wrong?? help please

 
 
Posted by Ihavenoname Monday, Mar 23, 2009 1159 days ago

Experiencing the same bugs as above. Sometimes @username and web links are clickable, sometimes they are not. Very inconsistent.

Other than that, I'm liking the new UI and features.

 
 
Posted by pat-wallace Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1158 days ago

i can click the links on my curvie, but not on the bfs bold, what gives twitttterbuRRy?

 
 
Posted by pabloheitmeyer Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1158 days ago

... to .8. Even after removing and restarting 2x, I still have these issues:

1. no friends timeline appears whatsoever
2. replies re always old, and if i go down it takes me to 39 days old and i have to exit and get back into replies.

i have great signal so it's not that, going back to .8

 
 
Posted by rob.christie Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1158 days ago

the only links that work are tweets that also contain an @username. If the tweet is not a reply to someone, any link present will not work. this is a huge problem since at least 80% of the people I follow always provide links.

 
 
Posted by thelittlebrier Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1156 days ago

on 0.9 my picture is huge and takes up the whole space, it takes three track wheel rolls to get over it.

on 0.8 my picture only shows the top right hand corner of the picture that shows up perfectly on twitter.com.

thoughts?

 
 
Posted by jong85 Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1156 days ago

i downloaded the 0.9 and froze my phone up and i couldnt do nothing!!! is there a fix or anyone had the same problem??

 
 
Posted by devon314 Saturday, Mar 28, 2009 1154 days ago

i have a curve 8330 and it will load the update screen but when i try to load the friend's timeline it completely freezes -- it just finally unfroze and said that there had been a network error im about to go back to 0.8...

 
 
Posted by femme Saturday, Mar 28, 2009 1154 days ago

sometimes this app worked great for me and sometimes it froze my blackberry... so i downgraded back to 8. :)

 
 
Posted by Adink Tuesday, Apr 28, 2009 1123 days ago

This TwitterBerry will have mobile network charges for posting fotos coz it's sent via TCP not BIS. That's awful. But the RT feature is not bad at all.

 
 
Posted by gelle Wednesday, May 06, 2009 1115 days ago

i downloaded the current version of twitterberry on my blackberry cure but it doesnt let me post a pic? it says network failure! what does that mean? how do i fix it? help me please :)

 
 
Posted by barkway Wednesday, May 27, 2009 1094 days ago

Doesn't work on the BB Curve 8330. Couldn't even open the app after install. Some funky error message. Guess I'm stuck with 0.8 which wasn't all that great: can't find people, can't follow or unfollow ppl, can't block ppl, can't click on ppl's usernames as clickable link. Basically is only good for sending and receiving tweets. Period.

 
 
Posted by ryanrotman Monday, Oct 26, 2009 941 days ago

Does anyone know if/how twitterberry uploads pics to twitpic in portrait? Pics that were taken landscape upload just fine, but I can't get my portrait pics to upload right. They show up in twitpic sideways. Help?
