New #Gravity twitter account: @GravityApp

bazbt3 — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:06:32 +0000

@janole has created a new Twitter account whilst nominating #Gravity for the Mashable ‘Best Mobile User Experience’ award (or something sounding similar) – see #mashableawards.
Presumably because these days every app needs its own @ name, @GravityApp (my capitalisation) was born.
Being honest I haven’t yet looked to see if his nomination needs our votes or indeed whether votes or parallel nominations are accepted.
Don’t be lazy like me, why not give him YOUR support?

Latest news

This blog isn’t currently being maintained. Most of the information here is still relevant and worth reading for newcomers to the Gravity app.

@Janole has made some quite significant updates to the app since our last major edit, amongst them:

A proper photo viewer, finally implemented! 100 images available to post.
Back-to-top function. (Keyboard phones, press ‘space’. Keypad phones press ’0′. Touch phones, press status bar [only in fullscreen mode.])

If things continue at this pace we’ll have everything ‘fixed’ by Christmas.

I’m not picking a year.

After reviewing the amount of effort I put into work on this site and comparing it to the rewards I’ve gained from it, I decided to cease my volunteer support work for the Gravity App.

If you want to get help for what is a really great twitter (etc.) app for Symbian S60 mobile phones, keep looking around this site. Use the search box, look at the pages, read the blog entries … follow @janole, @mobileways, add searches for #Gravity and #Gravityhelp.

Hopefully ‘official’ Gravity app help will arrive soon.

Poll: do you want changes to the FAQs?

bazbt3 — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:21:42 +0000

The poll is over. You have spoken. Here is the final result:

One big FAQ page with everything all in one place? 7.1% (1 votes)

Split into several pages but organised better, by topic? 71.4% (10 votes)

No change? 14.3% (2 votes)

Other: 7.1% (1 votes)

Total Votes: 14

So there it is, by an overwhelming majority you want better organisation for the FAQ pages. It shall be done. You might have to wait a while though, life must go on!

Twitter SSL certificate broken

bazbt3 — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:09:17 +0000

Paraphrased from @janole’s tweets:
(Any confusing instructions have been lovingly inserted by this author.)

Twitter seems to be using a broken SSL cert again (like 2 weeks ago.) They are using the broken VeriSign cert again (or so it seems.) It’s “incompatible” with Symbian phones …

Install #Gravity build 6538 (install within the app or see this site’s updates page) and select “Accept” when you see a cert warning. If you’ve already got 6358, install the Verisign certificate when prompted by Gravity.

If that doesn’t work, go to https://api.twitter.com in your browser and install the certificate when prompted.

If even that doesn’t work, if you still see Network Error -39 in #Gravity, go to Phone Settings ->Security ->Cert. Mgmt. ->Trusted site.. and delete “api.twitter.com”. Open Gravity and start all over again.

You’ll still need build 6358. The above is a semi-permanent fix.

The bottom line: Twitter are aware of the problems and are in the process of doing something about it:
@twitterapi: SSL Issue – We are aware of an SSL issue on our API and are in the process of fixing it. This issue does not… http://t.co/eirUAYV

Twitter geotagging breaks with non-English language setting.

bazbt3 — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:13:09 +0000

‘If you cannot geotag tweets via #Gravity anymore, switch your language back to “English” on Twitter.com as a temporary workaround.’ - Thanks @janole!

Here is a snippet of @janole’s ‘commentary’, in reverse order.

@gonzapq It is. Thanks for the feedback! Hoping that @TwitterAPI will fix this bug

@TwitterAPI can you please fix the geotagging bug 1725 !? http://bit.ly/anxAiC – Geotagging broken when using a forgeign language.

For all of you having problems geotagging with #Gravity, is your Twitter account configured to use your local language?

Apparently, there’s a bug in the @TwitterAPI which breaks geotagging when your account is set to non-English language! http://bit.ly/anxAiC

New update, to #Gravity 1.31.6538

bazbt3 — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:35:28 +0000

It’s http://bit.ly/6538ALL – only a temp. fix for the 7548 certificate error, caused by Twitter breaking again (sorry to be so technical.) #Gravity will now ask to accept “unknown” certificates …
~~Update 1: now Twitter has fixed the problem there is no need to Install this build!~~
~~Update 2: install it if you get the ‘Network-3005 error.’ I did for temporary relief. However it failed again with ‘Network -3005 error’, something I’ve not seen before.~~
Update 3: forget it, I don’t know what to do. Either Twitter or Gravity is broken. ~~All I can suggest: change authentication to Proxy/Secure for a bit.~~ You are on your own. Revert back to 6532 like I did to be able to tweet again.
