Epic Smartphone

I finally decided to join the 21st century and got a Sprint Epic 4G fone. I have only had it about a week, but everything seems to be going great with it.
One thing, though. This Christmas morning, I went to go refresh the built-in Twitter application and it had a pop up say, “Call Limit Exceeded”. I immediately googled it from the phone and there was only 1 result. It is hard to believe that I am the only one that has had this problem and there are not hundreds of threads on the issue.
Trying to move forward and solve the problem, I decided to log in to a computer and found the same lack of results. It must have been the wrong keywords. (that happens, you know)

I have determined that Twitter just/only needed to be refreshed somehow. I attempted to create a tweet about it, but stopped for offline reasons to find the issue was gone.
So, i believe this is just/only a twitter thing and not a problem with my android phone.

On a side note, it seems that when I tilt the phone, it doesn’t always tilt the screen. That bothers me. But, I think I remember that if I tilt the phone backwards, too, that seemed to help make the screen tilt with the phone. I just hope I will not have very many issues with this Sprint Epic, as it is truly amazing and far better than my old Nextel ic-102 (or whatever it was called).
I *highly* recommend the Epic! It is mind-blowing! (and great at parties)

EDIT 6-29-2011:
The Twitter problem, I’ve found, can be resolved by holding the top tool-bar of the app itself untill it acts like it wants to go to the trash. Then let go, not moving it at all. This probably resets the app and/or refreshes it in some fashion. (sh!tty, I know!)

EDIT 11-191-2011:
The twitter fix I came uP with did not seem to work. So, I have it auto-update every couple days or so and that seems to be thee fix it needs!
