Account disappeared for 6.2

[dalb8]

I just upgraded to 6.2 from an earlier version on a seldom used phone running CM 7.2. I have a Twitter account, with auto sync disabled via System settings, but And status doesn't recognise it and only shows the Getting Started screen. If I go to the account's settings everything is grey.

Could you please post a screenshot of that "grey account settings"?

I had several reports on incorrectly working upgrade procedure (from v. < 6 ). Please reinstall the application.

There are definitely some problems caused by CM firmware (at least by older CM releases...) and related to applications' caching... Such problems show exactly during upgrades.
I see some weird errors during testing on my Nexus One with CM 7. And I cure such problems by reinstallation.

I wiped data and restarted; no good. Deleted the account; no good. I scratched my head and returned to Settings (should be called Account Creation, and not be confused with the Andstatus screen) and its still all grey. Tap "type: ?"; then Twitter; create account.

So, I don't know about the original issue, but there is another problem: namely, that "Add an account" is all grey. I'd suggest a hand-holding guide when setting up the first account, if not all accounts.

I think I said this before, but I'd also put sync frequency/manage microblog systems in Account & sync settings.

BTW I tried to change Twitter api URL but it doesn't save.

Same problem here with AndStatus 6.1 from f-droid repo on current CM 11.

I'm sorry, I was blind. I had to acquire the credentials at the top and it's working now.

@dalb8

1. Regarding "Settings (should be called Account Creation, and not be confused with the Andstatus screen)". - I am working on this in Issue Simplify creation of the first user account #75 .
2. Regarding "grey account settings": Please see this issue Pump.io support #34 where YOU had problems in exactly the same "Account settings". I even had to post screenshot because we saw different things after installing the same version of AndStatus.
3. "I'd also put sync frequency/manage microblog systems in Account & sync settings". - I agree, created separate issue Put sync frequency/manage microblog systems in Account & sync settings #77 for this

Oh, sorry for bringing up separate issue one of which I evrmen commented on yesterday.

So currently it looks like the problem is mainly caused by CM 7.x firmware ( http://cyanogenmod.org )
