Twitter for BlackBerry got a pretty decent update just a few days ago in the BlackBerry Beta Zone, and now a new version is available with a slew of fixes. The latest version brings it to 3.0.0.16 and while it doesn't have any major enhancements, the bug fixes should keep it running strong. Fixes include:
- Loading spinner persists after sending a Tweet
- BBM is prompting user to update their status twice after uploading a photo
- Unable to open links from Social Feeds
- Phantom DM notification
- Prompted with "Uncaught exception: Application net_rim_bb_twitter (309) is not responding; process terminated" after app hang
- Promoted Tweet - Dismiss is still available in the menu and GCM when viewing the profile of the promoted Tweet user
- BlackBerry Bridge "Open Link On PlayBook" does not work for Twitter (but does for all other BB apps)
- Memory leak after changing options
- Uncaught exception when opening the Messages
- Need error message to indicate when an account is suspended
- Unable to see top trending lists beyond the basic 'worldwide' list
- The Favorite counter is not accurate after click follow and then unfollow many times quickly
- Map it doesn't work for any location on the 9930
- Twitter not showing up in the Send menu after upgrading device OS
- "Are you sure you want to dismiss this tweet?" > T in Tweet is not capitalized
- Create New List - description text it is cut at the bottom of the edit field

Twitter for BlackBerry version 3.0.0.16 hits the BlackBerry Beta Zone
Downloading as I type this! Thanks!
What about battery life? When I installed the first beta my battery life became 4 times less. After I uninstalled it, it went back to normal
did you by chance have it updating every 5 minutes? that would do a number on your battery.
Yes it was set to every 5mins. But I used it set to every 5mins before and also now it is set to refresh every 5mins. No problem with Twitter v2
I got the e-mail saying the was available about an hour ago. Downloaded and installed, no problems here.
Nice update! Super-smooth scrolling and some minor changes that really enhance a great twitter app. Still wish it would remember last-read tweet, though.
Is anyone else getting an Ungaught Exception Java Error after it installs? I've deleted old version (and now new version) and then reinstalled twice... same thing. Any ideas?
we been on the same version for weeks! FINALLY!
Did anyone else have the key code pre-pasted into the license screen when they first started it up? I've never seen that happen before.
Very handy though, sadly the latest BBM I've just downloaded didn't do it.
Working fine here, seems faster.
@BarracudaBob: I've noticed this aswell, happened with the new facebook beta too.
