Over the past few days, some folks have been having issues with Twitter for BlackBerry and now RIM has released the latest build to the BlackBerry Beta Zone. This time around, they were so kind to include a changelog for us all as well so here's what has been fixed:
- @Mention - No notification of @mentions from users you are not following
- @Mention - The @mention notification in the message app does not clear
- @Mention - Splat on Mentions icon is hard to clear if you happen to be on the Mentions screen when the push notification arrives
- Options - Reordering of top two option items
- Virtual Keyboard - When composing a new Tweet or reply, the virtual 'Tweet' and 'reply' buttons do not activate
Still broke:
- Error - Some users may experience a "Rate Limiting" error when performing a search
- Timeline - Twitter freezing when scrolling in Timeline
The download is available now for BlackBerry Beta Zone members and we're also hearing it's possible for a few more updates to come today as well. The BlackBerry Podcasts apps hasn't been updated as of late, so maybe that will be next. Either way, if you're looking to give a new Twitter build a go -- you know what to do.

Twitter for BlackBerry v2.1.0.20 arrives in the BlackBerry Beta Zone
I have a suggestion for T4BB guys,(which I will report them in beta feedback to) why don't you provide an option in settings where it says
- Take me back to last read tweet OR
- Always open on top
What say guys?
Serious question, is there an issue leaving Twitter in the background? I could be wrong, but I thought if you left it in the background it stayed where you were on your tweet timeline. I have done this with my Storm 2 in the past without issue, if that phone can handle it, any new phone surely can. :p.
i've been saying that since signing up for Twiter for BlackBerry in Beta, they need something that shows which ones are new like Uber does and also to keep you at the last tweet read. i don't like going all the way to the top and then having to scroll down to the last tweet read which you don't know which one it is unless you remember.
Other big problem I have experienced with Twitter for BB (full version, not beta) is the DM section is just FUBAR 75% of the time. It either just shows all black until you scroll, or it shows one conversation and then just white below it even though if you scroll you can find the other conversations. Uber annoying and from what I have heard on Twitter I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. (I've also had it happen on multiple OSes - both a Torch 9800 running BB 6 and on a Bold 9900 running BB 7.)
I'm back to BB after having an Android phone the last couple years. Why no draft option BB? I used drafts all the time on Android Twitter app. Am I missing something? Also, love the idea of new tweet/seen tweet icon or something.
Yes! A draft folder would be really helpful. A failed tweet is a huge hassle because one needs to retype everything back
I've noticed that the swipe-down-and-release-to-refresh-timeline function is now much smoother than in previous builds, and seems almost glitch-free at this point.
Does anyone else have issues with random tweets being marked as a favorite? For example: when scrolling through a user's timeline (which I've never read before), I scroll through a few pages and see a gold star on one of their tweets as it comes on the screen. I definitely didn't favorite it since I hadn't even gotten to that particular tweet yet.
Did that make sense? Clear as mud, right?
Good news :d
I DONT see this anywhere in beta zone..does anyone have the direct link?
