com.htc.provider force quit in peep, but only on wifi

I'm guessing the force close is caused by the recent firmware update?

I might be mistaken but I thought I had the same process closing when on the browser?
 
Clockwork yes I am getting both messages.

I got this back from HTC today from Mike in the NA Team:

"This issue is currently under investogation with Taiwan, and we hope to have an update soon.

Best Regards

Mike"

thanks for that, and thank mike for the information... also can you please ask mike, if indeed you can contact him again, to tell us when the problem is resolved if we need to update or change any settings?
 
HTC on twitter

"We are still hard at work with
Twitter on a solution for Peep.
You all are being extremely patient,
thank you so much. Sit tight!"

AAAARRRRGGGGG!!!!!

not even "an update is imminent" or "forget about peep its broken for good"
 
Hmmmm interestingly I don't seem to be getting any errors anymore....! I've refreshed Peep a number of times in the past 10 mins with no problems.

Now maybe it's just temporarily OK and will return to its errorstricken state later today...

Is everyone still having problems or has it indeed been fixed????
 
Still a problem for me.
Is anyone else tickled by the irony of HTC using Twitter to keep people updated about fixes to their Twitter client, or is it just me? :)
 
Merago yeah I thought it amusing.

Try clearing cache and retrying if you haven't done it, because it does seem to be fine on my Hero now.... (touch wood, cross fingers, lucky rabbit foot, 4 leaf clover, etc).

last time i cleared the cache it worked for about 2 or 3 refreshes, until it filled up with tweets and crashed again as is custom these day
 
Yeah, I'd tried clearing my cache, but still get the crash. I don't get any refreshes either, just the error message.
 
Hmm well mine is still working ok.... no idea why if you are all still having problems... :cool: but hopefully it means yours will all work again very soon!

And yes, it affected my weather gadget too.
 
Weather and Peep are both playing up for me, hope it gets fixed soon.

First the alarm sound (or not) problem, now twitter and weather. Very temperamental these smart phones!
 
I have a Hero here in Australia (it is unbranded but I am using it with Vodafone here) and it is mostly working very well. I am experiencing a couple of frustrating problems I have also seen mentioned elsewhere.

1) Quite frequently (several times a day) I get: "sorry the process com.htc.provider has stopped unexpectedly". I sometimes get this even when wifi is off. Is Peep the cause of all those? Can I uninstall/disable it if I use Fandroid? Sometimes I notice the weather has stopped updating, but not too worried about that.

2) The Market Place does not show many of the Apps from developers. Often I can see the free version but then can't buy the full version. Sometimes nothing can be found even after I contact the developers and they tell me what to search for.

I don't now how to update the ROM/firmware, so I am still using the official ROM that came with it, version 2.73.707.9

I never had an animated flip-clock so I guess this is relatively up to date.

Aaron.
 
anyone knows if this has been fixed or when it'll be? it's been really too long... after all we're talking HTC, not just some new small company...

It can be. Peep on my handset wasn't affected by the so called "Twitpocalypse" bug but many other users report problems similar to yours.

Can I uninstall/disable it if I use Fandroid?

You can try.... log-in to Twitter via Settings - Social networking, open Peep, set the update interval to 'manual', then log-out. Bloomin' thing will still start of its own accord but at least won't do anything. Only way to uninstall Peep is to delete the app with root access.

2) The Market Place does not show many of the Apps from developers.

"Priced applications" are not available to users in Australia yet, I'm afraid. See here for confirmation.

2.73.xxx.x is the latest release, so you're good.
 
Still having problems with Peep! Anyone heard anthing further as to when this might be resolved? Have tried other client apps, but nothing offers a similar widget, which i find extremely useful.

Have tried iTweet and Swift and both are pretty poor in my opinion.
 
Well this is weird...
Mine is still working fine again since Friday. No error messages, and Peep is updating fine.

I didn't do anything specific, it just started working ok...
 
I am having the same problem. I have stopped the Peep process using some app manager and hopefully that'll stop the error message till HTC release an update. In the mean time I am using Twidroid.
 
HTC have said they are still working on it :(

this has been going on for a while so hope thye have a fix soon.

also be nice if it fixed the issue with using it on vodaphone.
 
i have to say that some odd things are happening, the hero often tells me there are new tweets and indeed there are, but any attempt at manual refresh causes the force quit... so i have my peep somewhat up to date but it is only able to update seldomly.
