Twitter issues - Fails to update

[Peter Rokkos]

Any one having issues with the twitter app? Been searching on Internet and not seeing a general android twitter app issue so I'm thinking it may be specific to my g3.

App was working fine until about a week ago. Then I noticed a simple pull down to refresh tweets would not update the most recent ones. It would still automatically pull recent tweets ever hour or two. So I'd have the most recent tweet from an hour ago sitting there even after repeated refresh. Even though checking twitter on a browser shows multiple tweets since then.

Some sources suggested clearing app data which worked for a time but quickly stopped working. I deleted all updates of the app itself taking it back to original issue - u can't actually delete and reinstall the app.

This worked but once twitter updates the app itself it happens again.

I have that problem too. It's definitely Twitter app's fault because it happens across 4 different phones. :/

Did the app come preinstalled on the G3? If so, that would explain why it can't be deleted. Doesn't the G3 have an app or service to clear memory or unused apps from the device? If so, try that to remove Twitter.

If it works, redownload and set it back up - hopefully that fixes the problem.

It's a pre-installed app and I don't think it can be removed to be reinstalled.

Glad to see others have seen this problem and I'm not crazy.

It doesn't matter even if it's a fresh install. The app doesn't update.
