Background updates fail

I know that version 1.2.1 was supposed to fix this, but background updates don't work on my Pre. I need this functionality - it is really the major reason why I have a Twitter client on my phone.

I do not keep the app running as a minimized card - am I supposed to?

As soon as I start the app, it will tell me about the messages I missed since last time.

Thanks,
-Tomas

    I have installed the new version, and I see no change in behavior. Is there something I must do to get it to work? Uninstall/reinstall?

    This is very frustrating, as this is the only function I use Twitter on my phone for, and it worked perfectly in Tweed.

    Could you please turn the BG Updates Off and then On and test back with 3G?

    Hello,
        I turned off notifications, closed app, opened it, turned on
    notifications, turned off BG, closed app, opened it, turned on BG,
    closed it. Sent a DM. Waited 6 minutes (interval is set to five). Opened
    app, it refreshed, and then notified me.

        I then left the app open, and sent another DM. After 4.5 minutes, it
    clicked and notified me. I then closed it again. And then sent another
    DM. after 3 minutes, if notified me I have 40 new mentions (I have 4,
    though I have had at least 40 today). And it failed to notify me of the DM.

        I then sent a DM and a mention. Minutes later, it notified me of all
    three.

        Very Weird. For now, I'll consider it working.

        Thanks for your help, it is a great product.

    p.s., Is there a way to change the notify sound (and add vibe)?
