Not sure if it was readding the contact or typing "on" in the chat window that did it. It's working now; if it breaks again I'll update the case. Thanks for the help! – astralbodies, 3 days ago

astralbodies -- I just remembered something else we haven't tried yet... could you kindly try logging into Gtalk, removing the Twitter bot from your GTalk contact list, then adding it back?

Someone else did this before and it worked for them.

Looks like if I go offline, I do actually go offline. So I'm not sure what's up. – astralbodies, 3 days ago

I know I'm not actively logged into GTalk in more than one place but you never know if I have an orphaned session out there. I'll try testing that theory out with having a friend tell me if I'm offline or not. :) – astralbodies, 3 days ago

if there's a problem at twitter.com in the application side, sending ON will not solve the problem.

i've done so many times lately since the internal server errors, and what did i learn from it ? i learned patience...

if sending ON or deleting then enrolling your phone only works for a short time, wait a few days. to be safe, try again after a week and see if the twitter developers have fixed the problem...

when i sent ON to twitter a few days ago, the phone notification stayed on this time, and until now it's still working. i suppose they've fixed the application problem. :-)

the service is free, who am i to demand more than what they can provide ?...

mdy replied 3 days ago to the problem "IM not tracking or receiving Twitter updates, tried quite a few steps already." in Twitter:

astralbodies, the only other explanation I can think of right now is that you're logged into im from more than one application or machine.

The former (being logged into more than one chat application) sometimes happens to me when I'm logged in to IM via a Jabber client (like Psi, for example) and then I login to Gmail before logging out of Psi.

Twitter doesn't seem to 'see' that I'm now logged into Gmail and it continues to send im tweets to Psi while my Gtalk chat window remains empty. I only realize it later, when I finally log out of Gtalk only to see that my Psi chat window is still open and filled with tweets I hadn't seen.

There are also times when Twitter seems to see both Gtalk and Psi, but doesn't know where to send the tweets, so both get them but only intermittently.

The solution (if this is indeed the problem) is to log out of chat completely from all applications and all machines, and then log back in to only one.

(I don't know if that's the cause of your problem, though. And if this isn't it, then I'm afraid I'm stumped.)

A comment on the problem "IM not tracking or receiving Twitter updates, tried quite a few steps already." in Twitter:

No problem. I have my device updates set to "im" on the front page. And I do have device notifications set to "on" for a number of contacts. It's good to make sure all the bases are covered. – astralbodies, 3 days ago

mdy replied 3 days ago to the problem "IM not tracking or receiving Twitter updates, tried quite a few steps already." in Twitter:

astralbodies, at the risk of asking silly questions...

1. Do you have IM selected in your home page sidebar? See http://twitter.com/home to check your current setting. I think you won't receive anything in IM if your sidebar is set to sms or web-only.

2. Do you have device updates set to ON for any of the people that you're following? Twitter will only send you updates via IM from people for whom you've set device notifications to ON. When we first follow people, device notifications default to OFF. See http://twitter.com/friends to check.

I am using a standard Google account for the IM "link". – astralbodies, 3 days ago

Are you by any chance using your own Google Custom Domain? If yes, there are additional configuration steps required. You'll find that in this separate Satisfaction thread.

I too am having the issue. I am still able to update my own status through IM but I am not getting any updates from others through IM. I've removed the IM from my account and readded it. I use GTalk.

not getting any updates. i haven't been getting them for days. it used to work alright the first time i added my mobile. today i removed the device and added it again. i can send twits without problems, but do not receive anything on the go.

mdy replied 4 days ago to the problem "SMS stopped" in Twitter:

It's interesting that the problem was solved for so many people by simply sending a tweet. In my case, it was always by sending ON or by re-verifying my phone.

packtdavidb replied 4 days ago to the problem "SMS stopped" in Twitter:

I had this problem too. O2, UK, pay as you go.

I deleted and started again with my phone last week -- worked for a couple of days but then sometime Saturday or Sunday it stopped.

Seems to go wrong at the weekend, which is annoying because that's when I'm away from the web and need SMS the most! (And can't get to web to do the delete & start over thing.)

I have deleted and re-added my mobile but it stops after a few hours - its annoying!

mirae replied 5 days ago to the problem "SMS stopped" in Twitter:

Mine also started to work after I sent an update via SMS. I suppose Twitter makes SMS notification hibernated when there is no update via SMS(this seems to be important! nothing happened when I updated via Web) for a certain period of time.

David replied 5 days ago to the problem "Not getting email when someone follows me" in Twitter:

I always get email alerts *unless* the new follower is a "Twitter Slut" - someone who's following tens of thousands of people. There's obviously a whole in the Twitter code that allows these people, generally spammers, to add you to the list of people they follow and bypass the email alert.
