Twim is a mobile Twitter client that runs on devices that are compatible with Java MIDP 2.0. User can browse history, replies, friends, direct messages and public feeds with the application. User can also also update his/her status. Links can be opened in phone browser. You can search for tweets. You can upload photos and videos to Twitgoo, TwitnGo, TwitPic, TwitrPix, Twitvid, Mobypicture, Posterous or yFrog services. Twim also supports auto-refreshing (in every 5 minutes) and it will alarm you if new tweets are available by vibrating your phone and playing a small info sound.

i have the same problem with my lg kp 500: Error from Twitter. Could not authenticate you.
can U help, please?
@damira: Do you have special characters in your password?
Hi, Tommi!
I have a Samsung C3200. Twim, for some reason, immediately falls out with an error when trying to connect to the network. What may be the problem?
Thank you.
Sounds like an operator related problem or might be caused by a locked phone which doesn’t allow unsigned app to connect to network.
Have Twim sometimes worked on your C3200?
No, Twim don’t run on C3200. It may well be your explanation of the problem, although it is a little hard to believe :).
when i try to update status from my Alcatel OT-800 it tells me that authentication failed
what u suggest to do?
and my password is nymbers only
Thanks for this info. I will test why that would be a reason for failed authentication.
hello i am from venezuela i have the same problem too,
i try to connect and an Error appears telling me : error from Twitter. Could not authenticate you.
why? please i would like to know any solution, tkanks…
I am experiencing the “could not authenticate” error with two separate Twitter accounts. Passwords for both include letters (mix of upper and lower case), numerals, and special characters.
Hi, i have the same problem too, i have it into two different phones. It seems that they are not trust twitter ssl-certificate, cause don’t have the root certificate.
Hi, i’m just havin a problem. I had to reset my n82, so when i downloaded the 1.18 version… everything was fine until i tried to upload a video to twitvid…
A little box with this “error” (i guess): UNHANDLED EXCEPTION. CLOSE APPLICATION? It never happened with the 1.17 version… what can i do? Where can i download the 1.17 version??? Thanx !
Hi,
I have some problems too..
Like others said: Could not authenticate you..
What do I do now?
PS. I really like Twim, it looks so nice compared to others like Twibble or TinyTwitter.
will this be work for km55e lg? is this free of use?
I am having problems with the authentication. That’s the message I’ve recieved:
“Error from Twitter: This method requires authentication.”
Thank you!
I think u should download 1.18 version, which supports new authentication method.
I have the same error.
And received this e-mail from twitter:
…..Update 1: New authorization rules for applications
Starting August 31, all applications will be required to use “OAuth” to access your Twitter account.
What’s OAuth?
* OAuth is a technology that enables applications to access Twitter on your behalf with your approval without asking you directly for your password.
* Desktop and mobile applications may still ask for your password once, but after that request, they are required to use OAuth in order to access your timeline or allow you to tweet.
What does this mean for me?
* Applications are no longer allowed to store your password.
* If you change your password, the applications will continue to work.
* Some applications you have been using may require you to reauthorize them or may stop functioning at the time of this change.
* All applications you have authorized will be listed at http://twitter.com/settings/connections.
* You can revoke access to any application at any time from the list……
