Twitter refresh causes headphone jack to stop working

[barleydude]

The most recent Twitter version is causing my headphone jack to stop working. I have found that this only happens while using Pandora or the HTC music app, opening up the Twitter app, viewing the tweets, and then swiping down to refresh. At this point my headphones no longer play sound, and I have to reboot for the sound to work again. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes! This was driving me mad for weeks until I happened to be checking Twitter while listening to music, and realised what was causing it. It's killing the Cubed music player and Google Listen, but only on headphones, and I need to reboot to stop it - presumably it's killing all headphone noise to make its alert audible, and then failing to release it properly.

I'm wondering if they are aware of this issue? In the meantime, I switched to a different twitter client, Touiteur. Which I actually like better, so I guess it works out

It looks like they've fixed it in one of the updates since December, if you hadn't already noticed - it's fine now.
