Official Twitter App in Market

Hi
Can't se this mentioned yet but just to let you know the official Twitter app is in the Market and its awesome especially on CM5.07 Twitter contact sync

Nice >Was< using twidroid, this is much nicer imo. Thanx for the post about it.

Twidroid still better. No browser, no refresh on start up. Animations are for kids.

also is only supported for 2.1 roms.

I really like it. I had been using Touiteur since it came out, but the official app is better overall and much faster at refreshing tweets.

Same here. It's also the first version so it can only get better.

Uh? No retweets with comments possible. It doesn't save the position, you always must scroll down to read the first unread tweet.
Not so very good.

What's it called anyways? As I don't see it in the Market.

I searched for 'twitter' and it came up in the results.
For a first version it is very good but as some have pointed out it's missing features that are very useful, if not almost required. Integrated browser for links, image loading without a browser or via the browser, viewing of profile images and the most important from my perspective - remembering your last position in the list.
It's very fast and the integration with 2.1 is nice, using the same mini-bar option if you push the arrow to the right of someone's tweet. However, until it has the ability to remember your list position and some form of integrated browser I'll be staying with Touiteur Premium.

Does anyone know how to clear old tweets from the timeline? I've been using the app for a few days now, and every tweet I've received during that time is still there, which creates a little sluggishness. It'd be nice to be able to clear the list every once in a while.

Can't seem to find my lists... Yes i can delete and manage them, but i can't see them. What the hell? I think ill just go back to Seesmic... Simple, fast and reliable

Is anyone else having a problem with only a small fraction of your tweets being updated in your timeline? This is what happens for me: lets say I haven't used the app all night, and in the morning when I know I have 100+ new tweets to read, when I hit refresh only ~20 tweets are updated. Then when I scroll down past those 20 latest tweets, there is a huge gap after the 20th tweet. After the 20th tweet, there is a huge jump back to the last time I hit refresh (usually 8+ hours earlier). This only happens on 1.01...it did not happen on 1.00. Anyone else?

[Q] Tweetdeck beta - notifications in CM6 RC3

Do notifications work for others using the Tweetdeck beta client? If I force it to refresh they generally show up but if I don't, despite setting up notifications, I get nothing. I'm not sure if this is related to the 3G connectivity issue, an issue with the beta, my phone, or a combination of all three.

I dont know if its specific to your OS. I'm having the same problem on my stock rooted captivate. it could just be tweetdeck

Yeah.. I think this is due to the Beta. I have TweetDeck Beta running on my rooted G1 under CM6 RC3 and the notfications are hit and miss at best. I think the app is getting killed in the background and that's stopping it from notifying. If I have TweetDeck active in the foreground and phone goes to sleep, the notifications are working (blinking yellow LED and all).. but if I run something else that is kind of big... I get nothing until I go back to TD.

[Q] Best Facebook app alternative for Android?

i DID NOT WANT TO USE! the official Facebook app ANYMORE because its very Sluggish and rubbish useless! if they release some updates in feature it could be totally kill the app!
I DON'T KNOW WITCH ALTERNATIVE APP IS BEST BECAUSE WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVE PLEASE RECOMMEND ME THE BEST ONE???

Use opera mini to browse thru facebook.

Use Friendcaster.
Sent from my Xperia™ X8

well.. i dont think any of you saw portal news....
oStream Brings a Faster Facebook Experience

FRIENDCASTER is the best of all the FB apps that i have used and i use it till today..
OSTREAM is an upcoming app... its pretty fast.. but its in beta stage.. few features missing but worth a try..

Facebook are said to be working on an android app! Until then I recommend using a browser to view Facebook and FaceUp to share pictures to Facebook. That's what I did on my SGSI. Now I have a Note II and Facebook is pretty fast.

you can try "fast for facebook". good for battery life ( it has exit option).:thumbup: friendcaster is great in feature but not good in battery life ..:thumbdown:
minimum edition

If u are not interested in notifications, use touch.facebook.com in the browser

Fast for Facebook
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fastfacebook.com&hl=en

use any browser to use face book

THANK YOU ALL ... FOR HELPING ME DECIDE THE BEST ONE! NOW I AM USING BOTH FRIENDCASTER AND oSTREAM!

For some reason when I use Fast the most recent status update in my feed is from 2 hours ago. Is there a way to get more recent updates?

Nothing that throws ads at you is a "win".
Call it "free" , then throw ads at you constantly, and don't even give the option to remove the ads. lol Rubbish.

tried atrium, every time i checked my news feed it asked if i wanted to let it manage my notifications. i didn't want notifications but it kept showing up, so uninstalled

I kinda backed away from the facebooks quite a bit..
but I do still have the app 'Klyph" on my phone.
Now that is a pretty sweet fb alternative.

Now Atrium has an ad-free version and it's one of the best facebook alternatives on Android. I'm using it and turned off notifications successfully!
The only option it's missing is the group chat i think.

Hey, recommend you Maki for Facebook & Twitter, which includes Facebook, Messenger and, of course, Twitter.
It's free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunshine.makilite
Hope you will like it!

The only reliable and safe alternative that I have found so far is to use http://mbasic.facebook.com — it is the static lightweight old-school interface designed for old pre-smartphone era phones. You can also use it to access the 'text-mode' version of the fb messenger. Since the pages are static you'll need to refresh the page to get updates.
Another way to access the fb messenger without installing the android app would be using firefox with an extension for changing the user agent to that of a desktop browser (the native option Request Desktop Version does not work in this case).

[Q] The Lag of Facebook app Saga

People, I don't know what to do. I really want to use Facebook's app in my P880, but it cause too much lag over all other applications and resources. Sometimes I need to wait 30s to use my phone, mainly when a turn data or wi-fi on. When this app isn't installed I have a normal experience.
I just tried:
- Stock Rom, CM11 Rom, Euphoria OS;
- Stock Kernel, Iodak Kernel;
- Best Facebook clients are not updating since 2013;
- Facebook on browser, are fast but can't open images entire screen and can't provide notifications;
- Change options in app;
- Change Performance options of each ROM.
Please, if someone had sucess to run the app without this mad lag share with us.

Tried the "simple facebook" app?

I used to untick all autoruns of the APP using 3c toolbox.This reduces it's effect on general system performance but there are still a few services of it running, you have to turn them off at every boot.
Still, the facebook is badly coded/optimized and I prefer to use my web browser to browse facebook since I get notifications with SMS anyway.

Facebook app is among the worst ever Android apps made. As you too noticed, mainly on network change, it gets insanely laggy. It just isn't worth using.

Thank you, guys!

Nice app, i didn't know. There are too many options that I need a master degree to understand all. =), but I'm trying that carefully. Meanwhile I just made my phone even worst, but with the last config a little bit better.

Sad, but true! I can't understand what they want with this. My wife's Samsung S4 can run it, just with small lags inside app, but it is another class of phone.

No calendar notifications on lock screen since update to LineageOS 19.1

Hello
Since updating to LineageOS 19.1 I no longer receive notifications from the calendar app. The notification only appears after I open the calendar app. Does anyone know the problem and can help me solve it?
Many thanks

Found this thread, says apps such as cleaner master can cause such an issue.

I have the same problem. One thing to try is long press on the calendar app and tap the "i" to see the app info. Make sure that alarms are allowed (at the bottom) and also try changing Battery to "unrestricted".

I have the same problem in a Pixel 4a (sunfish). I was going to open an issue at Gitlab, but haven't been able to narrow the focus. Last week I got a notification (right on time), while I was on a phone call. However, I can't figure out when it works (almost never), or why.
As you said, sometimes I get old notifications (24+ hrs old) while working on the calendar app.
There's another issue with Calendar. It crashes when you try 'search'. I saw this on Gitlab. That can be fixed by installing the FDroid version of Etar 1.0.30. However, notifications aren't fixed by using that version. I tried.
I just changed Battery from 'Optimized' to 'Unrestricted'. I don't have much hope, though.
I'll post if that helps.

Changing battery to "Unrestricted" made the difference for me. I've not missed a calendar notification since the change. Thanks for this.
However, is this a bug? Should it work with battery 'Optimized'?
BTW, you might consider having this discussion within the official LOS19 thread.

Yes, this method seems to be working for me as well. May be good to mention it in the LOS19 thread. It is sort of a bug in design if anything. Since the calendar app may not be accessed much or have constant reminders, it might not be given high priority in the optimization.

Thank you for that information. Will try that with changing battery to "Unrestricted".

Thank you! Everything now works perfectly!
