HTC Peep, HTC’s built-in Twitter client that comes pre-loaded with HTC Sense, has been broken. It’s been broken for the last few days, as a result of some login system changes make at Twitter’s end.
Twitter claimed the issue had been resolved a few days ago, but judging by the complaints still rattling around the internet this evening, it wasn’t. But it looks like it is now.
HTC Peep has started working again for us. We couldn’t sign in an hour ago, but just now managed a connection. Look, that’s us at the top of that screenshot, tweeting about the status of Android Twitter apps at 11.14pm on a Friday night, via HTC Peep.
That is how we “roll”.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ September 7, 2010Strange. That’s what I had for a few days on Peep, before it fixed itself. From the other comments above, it sounds like Twitter/HTC haven’t got around to fixing non-Android authentication problems.

/ September 9, 2010Any suggestions on how to get Android V2 Froyo working on your HD2?
After downloading and trying to open Android on my SD card it says constantly: file can not be opened. Either it’s not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found….Thanks for advice
