Websites That Help

First, realize that when you need help with your Blackberry Twitter application Twitter itself does not support any Twitter applications for Blackberry. It is Blackberry or helpful websites, forums or users you will need to reach out to for support. Also, there are some common tips and tricks listed a little further down in this blog posts. Here are some helpful websites to know of:

Blackberry’s official support sites

Blackberry user forums

Tips and Tricks for Common Issues

Thanks very much to @BBGeeks for this information. They are a great account to communicate with if you have a BlackBerry issue!

The “Incorrect Signature” error

This problem is related to the connection to a services api—if there is a glitch in the communication the error will occur. This can happen because an app is coded wrong…and can then only be fixed by an update from the app’s developers.

TRY THIS FIRST: Enable or disable wifi whenever the error pops up. This fixes the problem for some. If it continues, try one of the fixes listed below.

Battery pull fix for general issues

This is exactly what it sounds like. Remove and reinsert the battery on your Blackberry device to effect a reset.

Delete and reinstall fix

90% of the time, the “Incorrect Signature” glitch—and many other common issues—can be fixed this way. Make sure you know where to go to get the app you want, because you will need to reinstall it after deleting it!

Delete the app
Remove and reinsert the battery
Reinstall app
Remove and reinsert the battery

You’re done!

Hi,
First of all I really love your blog and I find it really useful for twitter tricks =)
But I want to ask about a Twitter for Blackberry problem.
I’ve installed the application, but when I click it, it says: “you’re currently on a service plan that doesnt support this application.” Well, I dont know what service plan I should use to get it starting. I do have wireless connection, and it’s working great on the device.
So, could you maybe help me out?
I’d be grateful. thanks! =)
