Quick fix: use the location widget, turn it on, see if the map thumbnail is where you're at and then use geolocation for tweeting (regardless of whether you're using hahlo, tweego or witter). My n900 always seems to think that I'm 800km away at some Damn on first lock everday!! Hope this helps!

It works, thank you

Maybe Witter should activate the gps and get a location before it tries too send the tweet?

Gravity on symbian lets you cache the gps location before you tweet.

Hi guys, seems like a lot of people having trouble...quick reminder this was an update in extras-devel...I'm trying out new things, and some bigger restructuring so there is going to be instability.

There was a missing dependancy in location, that will be fixed in the next update.
There is a bunch of barely tested code here, but I wanted to give the brave a chance to give me feedback. I really recomment most people stick to the extras-testing repo.

as for granularity in location, I am intentionally asking for just teh coarse granularity based off of cell tower info, this doesn't drain battery. I didn't want to have witter sit waiting for a nice accurate location fix whenever you tweet, and I didn't want to leave gps running in the background all the time just to have an accurate fix when I need it.
I'm pretty sure it's still only getting a fix at startup, and not updating if you move locations at the moment.

Thanks for your interest, sorry for the problems, but please remember the devel repository is for development....things do break.

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.

This build works brilliantly for the most part. Like I mentioned before, it's close to a complete client.

Request: In the next build, can you put an icon for Geotaggin neart the text entry box? That way, you can select whether you want to use cell tower info or Proper GPS from the preferences itself..

Thanks Again btw..

Really like the new update, showing the most important buttons together. Maybe it's a good idea to show the timeline, mentioned and direct message immediately at startup, with an extra buttons to the rest or something. Also the more buttons on the bottom are very large now.

Keep on the good work!

Just update to the new fix Love the fact that I have the option to only view timeline, replies and DM.. but is there a way I can set this view as default. Also, with this design, there is space to add the geotag option button at the bottom..
