Ubertwitter tweeted this morning "You all will be happy to hear that @codewarden just squashed a BIG memory leak! Fix will be in Beta-2"

Now if we could just get our hands on it!

I can't express to the Storm owners how much better this app runs then the others. I also learned that you use "exit" instead of "close", so your battery doesn't die within hours. It amazed me how fast that app killed my battery but it's all good now.

I've thought about removing it.. but I probably won't I had to start charging my BB in my car on the way recently :(

gshine666 · 04-25-2009, 09:38 PM

thought this was kind of odd.

I put ubertwitter on both my storm and my g/f's 8220. Did this close to when it was released so we've both been using ti at least a few days. Tonight we both went to dinner and BOTH clients were crashing. On my storm when I ran it some of the tweets would disappear and reappear when I selected them. when I went back to it every time it would crash. I would rerun it and it would do the same thing.

On the 8220 it wold launch, but just not do anythhing.

Now on the storm it seems to be working again. The same tweets from earlier are "ghosting" out but the newer ones are working right and it is not crashing.

On the 8220 it is still not working.

Weird.

Dawg · 04-26-2009, 02:20 AM

an issue I am having is the font keeps changing to uber small.

SteveO86 · 04-26-2009, 10:24 AM

Yea, this app has only thrown a Java errors at me.. maybe 3-4 in the few weeks I've been using it.. and only once has it locked up my BB forcing a battery pull.

Haven't seen my font shrink but I use a pretty small font to begin with.

Still by far my preferred twitter app.

akosnitzky · 04-26-2009, 01:45 PM

yes they are hyping their Beta 2. Maybe too much hype. We shall see

SteveO86 · 04-26-2009, 02:58 PM

If it has been too hyped and not what were expected we always jump on the TwitterGenius hype

akosnitzky · 04-26-2009, 07:48 PM

Or Social Scope

akosnitzky · 04-27-2009, 11:49 AM

I read that some users are getting a pop up that reads evaluation period. ????

Ya, I've heard that too. Its a bug the developer said. Should be resolved in the upcoming beta.

akosnitzky · 04-27-2009, 11:55 AM

I read evaluation period as future purchase.

gameboy213 · 04-28-2009, 02:42 PM

Personally I haven't had any battery issues with the app. I have the refresh set to 20 min... perhaps that is why.

SteveO86 · 04-28-2009, 03:50 PM

Got mine set to 30 minutes, but I'm also running MySpace, FB, Weatherbug Direct. Not to mention the music I play to car stereo when driving..

Wonder what it could be

Ravenell · 04-29-2009, 07:23 AM

I don't have battery *issues*, I have a ME issue. I set my refresh to 3 minutes. So it WILL drain the battery faster than if set longer. So, I have a routine to "EXIT" the application when I'm not in it. That preserves my batter, but also it gives me a chance to be at the top of the new Tweets when I open the application. There's no way on my Storm to go to the newest tweet. So, exiting and reopening is helpful for that. One action, two benefits.

The first issue is battery life. Jessh.
