Default Using widgets on Vodafone

My Hero is connected on the UK Vodafone network and won't update the Twitter or Facebook apps/widgets. Internet browsing and weather updates work just fine. All widgets work when i'm on wifi so i know its not the phone.

If I use a T-mobile or o2 sim all widgets and apps work just over 3G.

I'm guessing its a port blocking issue at Vodafone. The customer service reps on 191 haven't got a clue what i'm talking about when I mention blocks.

Is anyone else experiancing this connectivity issue with Vodafone?

What about your Twitter feed? does that work over Voda 3G? mine doesn't

I phoned them to ask if they block ports but they didn't wanna help.

Fraid I'm not a twit. It doesn't block the facebook images in the browser so it seems to me that it might just be some bug in HTC implementation (doesn't like going through voda's proxy?)

Your thoughts?

Similar issues here, Twitter not updating via vodafone. Everything else seems ok I think.

I've downloaded another twitter app, twidroid until there's some sort of solution to the vodafone/twitter problem.

Hey, any chance you can post your Voda connection settings? There might be a thing or 2 you can change.
