Symbian Twitter discontinued

Hello there.

I live in Portugal. My only phone is the N8.

Two days ago i received a tweet from Microsoft, saying the Nokia Social Apps (Twitter and Facebook)

will be discontinued in 24 October 2014. Lucly there still is a stand alone Facebook app, but Twitter is gone. I have to load the phone browser to check Twitter. But, twitter wants to send me phone sms to confirm the account login. Twitter says in Portugal
my phone carrier is not supported. So i
cannot use twitter on my N8. Microsoft is telling me: "Buy another phone if you want to use twitter". Very sad.

Sorry, i know the phone is old, etc, but i had to write this.

Thank you.

 

Twitter App

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



May I know, if you are facing this issue with only Twitter app or other apps as well?



We will have to try few troubleshooting steps to further eliminate the root cause of the issue and check.



Method 1:

1. Try resetting store app,
   Press Windows + R key on your keyboard and type wsreset on the run window and hit enter.
   
2. If you have not rebooted your computer after Windows update, reboot the computer once and check.
   

Method 1:

1. Right click on the start menu and click on
   Windows PowerShell (Admin) that will run PowerShell in admin mode.
   
2. Disable any antivirus program, if you have any.
   
3. Type Get-AppxPackage –AllUsers –Name *twitter* it will give you the information of the twitter app.
   
4. Copy the PackageFullName
   e.g. (Microsoft.WindowsStore_11807.1001.13.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe) and save it on a notepad, the example on the bracket is for store app, you will have to copy for twitter app.
   
5. Type Get-AppxPackage *twitter* | Remove-AppxPackage this will uninstall twitter app from the system.
   
6. Reboot the system once.
   
7. Open PowerShell again with step 1.
   
8. Type in Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\< PackageFullName>\AppxManifest.xml" –DisableDevelopmentMode
   
9. Replace <PackageFullName> with the name you have saved on step 4.
   
10. Hit enter and let the installation complete.
    
11. You can also install the app from Windows Store.
    

After the command is completed, you should be able to search for twitter app and use it from start menu.

Method 2:

1. You can also try to
   create a new user account and check if it works on the new user account.

If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.



Hope it helps.
