Hi,

I had been using Carbon just fine, but now it's acting strange. First, I got a message about the timestamp. The system time info was fine, so I tried logging out/logging in. When I selected "Start Authorization" I got the 401 error message. Just to be sure, I uninstalled the app, restarted the phone, reinstalled the app and attempted again - same error. Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it?

I've got a unactivated Verizon Pre+ running webOS v2.1.0. Thanks!

    By unactivated you mean there's no Sim card on in the phone right? Which makes the System Time/Date inaccurate. If that's the case then try setting the time/date manually and make sure you choose the 24h mode for time. Then try connecting through WiFi and authorize your accounts again.

    It's very tricky with Pre+ and doctored webOS 2.x a whole lot of unexpected bugs popup from time to time specially with devices that install many patches. Check it out and let me know if it works.

    Thanks, worked like a charm! I'm thrilled I'm no longer relegated to the (terrible) mobile Twitter site!!!
