Database Develop

Best Twitter app?

I've downloaded Twidroid - haven't tried Peep yet though (!)
What do people recommend...?

Twidroid is for me, without a dubt, better then Peep. More functions and better layout. Having some problems with the notifications and once in a while I have to try twice for it to show a profil page. No deal breaker though

I think The best apps are twidroid , peep and twitterride .

I am not able to post pictures taken with twidroid.. I use add, take photo, then I take photo, done, and it gives me "image can not be decoded"..
Anyone else with this problem?

I also got the same problem and it almost make me go back to my iPhone.
I´m using that function all the time. It works if you select a picture allready taken.
Peep works but it compress the picture so much that it look like crap. And yes I have changed the quality to the best.

Since my Hero runs smooth as butter (thanks to MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.2) I've started using Peep again, which now supports posting in landscape and displays clients the tweets were sent from (which I think is new in this version of ROM). Before that I switched do Twidroid, but never got to like it...

Is it possible to tweak the quality/size of the pictures posted with PEEP?
More than choosing "high quality" in settings.

I think I'd be quite happy with Peep, if it was possible to choose to follow a user using it? But I can't see that option available, unless anyone can help?
Thanks,
James

When you click on someone's profile picture, you get the option to follow/unfollow. Or use the official Twitter text commands - http://help.twitter.com/forums/59008/entries/14020

Has anyone had any success using the Tweeps Around layer in the Layar AR application to find the location of their own tweets?
I've used HTC Peep and Twidroid to post tweets with my GPS location, and then tried to find them on the Tweeps Around layer and though I can see loads of other peoples', my own do not appear....

Cheers,
It was actually that I couldn't find how to "find" someone, if I wanted to follow them. I've found it now though - you use the hard search key to do a search

[Q] Cyanogenmod and the IncS camera lag

I've run a search and can't find a concrete IncS specific (or otherwise Sense related) answer.
I went about installing Cyanogenmod 7 on my Incredible S and it worked wonderfully save for the camera application. The refresh rate on the preview was horribly low and there was significant lag compared to while on Sense.
I'm aware that the Sense apk cannot be used on non-Sense ROMs. I'm curious to know what other IncS owners running Cyanogenmod 7 do in regard to camera functionality. I've since hopped back over to Virtuous but would like to use Cyanogenmod again if I could sort out the camera issue.
Thanks guys.

There is a miui camera that significantly improves the camera functionality.
I posted it in general, in the cm7.thread in here

but that still doesn't fix the low light camera lag which seems to be a driver problem.

I've been trying to fix this for a while and have found no solution. MIUI camera, FX camera, and Tiny Photo are are a few options (but I agree about MIUI - doesn't fix anything).
Question - do you find when you're taking a picture from a different app it works ok? When I use the camera app I get the noise, but if I use WhatsApp for instance take a picture and attach is, I find there's no noise.

I don't think the stock cyanogenmod camera is setting the iso properly, I've tried it on auto, and on every other setting, but the resulting photos all seem to come out the same, with lots of noise.

It works better in certain situations for some reason. Sometimes lots of grain, sometimes none. But my main point is - it doesn't compare to Sense in any way, from quality to UI and back..a lot of room for improvement

This problem had been discussed over and over again. The only way to fix it is to find someone with knowledge in programming and digital camera programming to decipher the code in the sense version of the camera software.

Well I just got back from my international holiday trip and not totally impressed
The phone worked fine with the international sim card, hate that I can't see what's downloading in the background (google sync, android stuff), because my credit was running out fast and all I used was facebook which was free on the carrier. (social networking)
Also, camera took quite good photos but not as good as the sense. I love how it did widescreen photos rather than just a box size. Also I found my battery died a lot when I wanted to use it.. sitting by the pool and surfing facebook for 1h would use about half the battery. and can't put tiamat on my phone either.
so right now my phone is just sitting in my drawer, because my family member gave me their old iphone and find it more reliable for the time being
I just can't get used to android after having it for over a month, must just be me. I'm not giving up though. Maybe next step is to try another ROM.

Why didn't you turn off data and auto sync?
You seem like the iPhone type lol

An hour of constant internet for me uses 15 percent battery approximately. (screen on the entire time)
I consider that pretty good

I suppose that rules out Cyanogenmod for us lest we cripple the camera function?

Well, I had an international sim with internet so no reason to turn off data, and would prefer auto sync the same as back home. everything was off except facebook updates.
Also on cyanogenmod, camera is good and clear but doesn't go in widescreen like stock ROM does (I really want to go back to stock but i cant ) and no photo editing effects built in on cyanogenmod. hmm.

My miui camera went nuts today. I can only see the image on half of the screen while taking pictures. It's like the menu area is unwilling to release its reserved screen area.

Hide whatsapp images/video from Sony Album

Hi Guys,
I'm having a huge problem, coming from IOS is a huge change.
Android is so open! (in a good way) anyway on IOS whatsapp images/videos never show on the stock photo album...
Android is totally different it shows everything! not good when your nephew is able to get hold of the phone..and let's say there's some pics I don't want him to see which the mrs sent...
I've been through the .nomedia way of doing it which works when using QuickPic as the photo viewer which I'm happy with as my photo viewer now...But I really hate Sony's own version but it doesn't work with Sony Album app the pics are all viewable also I cannot UN-install the app also which makes it findable if your looking through all apps.
Surely there is a easy way around this? with how many people in the world with ANDROID & WHATSAPP...
Any help?
Thanks
EDIT 1: Seems if you press SHOW HIDDEN in QUICK PIC it shows all the pictures again!
EDIT 2: You can set a password to see the hidden files so that's sorted

Gallery Scrolling Bug [SOLVED]

Well Read the orig. Post for the back store and at bottom ive included the user who supplied the right awnser and resolved the issue;
Im kinda disappointed in the note 8's stock gallery and really just fed up with the lack of options here to get it working correctly.'
I was just going to keep my issue to myself until i check reviews under the Gallery app via Samsung and seen that its not just me effected by this annoying as H3LL scrolling bug.
Anyone who has a good amount of pictures should be able to re-create the bug themselves.
Pretty much in a nut shell if you open a ALBUM and slowly scroll down the entire screen shakes violently like its having a seizure.
I contacted the other Dev i work with and he wasn't able to duplicate but also doesn't have nearly as many photos on his device as I do.
This really just ruins the gallery for me personally whenever I try to show someone a beautiful photo this device takes and it just represents the entire phone like crap IMO. Let me know if you guys have the same issue and your thoughts behind this one,
and i'm sorry to anyone who finds the bug and annoys the h3ll out of them as well. I guess sometimes ignorance is bliss.

As well as another source I don't have from another forum/post

The remapping apps like Bixby remapper are causing the overlay issue with gallery for whatever reason. I feel a little bit silly now but atleast there is a response. Thank you everyone this made my day a ton better not having to deal with the darn shuttering gallery!

To point out you ususally have to be scrolling near the top half of the screen to cause it but it's done it to me at all locations on the screen randomly. Just slowly drag up (to scroll down through your photos inside a album) and near the top it will start to shutter heavily and if you stop scrolling and just leave finger on screen it just shakes like a earthquake.. ughh.. contacting Samsung today for a resolution time frame here. Just super annoyed at this point.
And yes I fully wiped my device and restored with the stock Odin img as well to fully verify it wasn't a app or defect in the Initial install.

I have seen it on youtube, I have more than 30 albums with up to 900 pictures each on SD card and so far I have not been able to reproduce it and I tried for good few min. Actually it is surprisingly smooth and extremely fast considering it is reading from 256 GB Samsung Evo SD card.

I cannot reproduce this bug. Glad I don't have it.

Are your pics on internal memory or an sd card?

And videos? 8 can scroll throught over 1000 photo without seeing anything but pop in loads

On a class 10 64gb Samsung sd card
Both photos and videos. About 2500 files in my camera album.
Zooming in or out the gallery view makes no change

Interesting. I would try moving them to internal memory and see if the problem persists. That might narrow it down a bit as to whether it's a problem with your device or the sd card.

You sir.. I love you haha
Little shhhh.. it seems like that has done the trick.. darn it.
I'm gonna test some more.. looks like bbr is gonna have to stay gone. Great catch man. I will move your awnser to the op and change the info to direct towards this as well to help others!
So glad its simple as this... I tested without apps and it worked fine but once I let smart switch restore and my gallery app updated it came back. I guess I should have done more testing!

i would def agree. Glad you took the time to supply the much appreciated answer. I've also added this info to Samsung site to help other users.
sadly Samsung probably knows its there and intended it to be there to make you not re-map the button. Grr.. they should allow remapping to whatever app you wish!

Weird. I don't have this issue, have bxactions installed, have >26xx images on my SD card.

I had the bug, Samsung 256 GB sdcard and over 5,000 pics and videos. I did have a Bixby remap installed...uninstalled the app, reset cache on the gallery, no issues so far. the stutter would accur no matter my scrolling location. I will further test to see if the stutter comes back

Interesting. There was another thread unrelated to this but was causing lag and stutter issues. The culprit: a bixby remapper app.
Perhaps once Sammy releases an OTA (since the official device release date is near) this may fine a lot of little bugs (for example, some are having issues posting videos to instagram)...

omfg THANK you. I thought I was the only one going through this as I haven't been able to find anyone else experiencing this until today. And then I nearly ordered a warranty replacement when I read the top post and saw that no one else was able to recreate the bug. It's a good thing I kept scrolling through and reading more comments. If I had done a warranty exchange, I would have just kept experiencing the same issue, never knowing that it was the Bixby Remapper causing the issue

My sd card will arrive in a few days, so all internal. I didn't have a lot of pictures (below 500). One of the first things I did was to install Bixby Remapper, so from my point of few, the bug there from the beginning. Removed it, seems to be working normally. Bought my Note8 from T-Mobile Austria.
Thank you for the solution.

Whew i was wondering what was up & was waiting to the next update in hope that it would be fixed. I never knew until i read hear that it was down to Button remapping.....:good: thanks for making this post (Very annoying issue resolved) helpful indeed....:good:

GIF question/problem??

Just wondering if anybody is having the same issue as myself. Everytime I send a gif through the stock messaging app it plays extremely fast. When I play them through the gallery they play normal, but it's only when I send one. Anybody might know the reason why.
Thanks.

Anybody??

I'm having the same issue idk y. I bought my note 8 two weeks ago and was able to make and send GIFs without a problem. Now when I make them they are at normal speed but when I send them it's faster and ruins the point of me sending it in the first place.

Never figured it out. I switched to Android Messages till there is a possible solution. All the 3rd party messaging services work fine.

That sucks that we have to use 3rd party messengers. I wonder if anyone else is having this issue. Also does the right side of you phone have light bleed?

Yeah I have this same issue, GIFs play really fast in the stock messenger. I don't really care, I rarely send GIFs anyway.
Here's a thought, it might play really fast for us, but ask the receiver & see if it plays fast for them. I suspect that it doesn't for them so it's not as much as a problem but who knows.

They play fast for the receiver as well. Obviously a issue with Samsung messaging service. I don't send many gifs, but it is annoying that they do not work properly.

That sucks, oh well. Thanks for confirming.

Mines play fast as well to the people I send them to. I like making GIFS so this is very upsetting to me. Don't even get me started on the light bleed, other than those two major issues I love my note 8.

I sent my brother a gif & live message gif yesterday, he said it seems to play normal for him. The gif I sent plays way to fast on my phone (in the native messager) to make out what's going on but he was able to tell what happened in the gif. He's got a LG on Verizon though & I'm on Tmobile, not sure if carrier would have anything to do with it.
Next time he comes over I'll test again & have a look for myself on his phone to confirm.

I too have the issue I see it as way to fast while some receive it fine and others don't! I guess maybe I need to experiment to see who and why!

It is very strange. It has to have something to do with the way it is sent through the native messaging app. When I make a gif it plays normal in the gallery, but when it is sent through the Samsung messaging app it plays at a ridiculous speed. What carrier do y'all have? I'm on Verizon.

The Samsung messenger compresses the hell out of it too. You can easily notice the huge difference in quality when viewing the original from the gallery & the sent copy in the messenger. Receiving ends receives the compressed copy also. So perhaps the compression might have to do with it.

Using stock Messenger...sent to another N8 and also a V20. They all look the same. The same speed as the sending phone. FYI tho, the Live Message I sent was under 1MB...so that may have something to do with it. Like if you send one that is over 1MB, that may be the reason it looks all chopped up.

I don't know if any others have noticed this but my issue doesn't seem to be the Samsung stock messaging app playing the gifs too fast, but rather when attaching a gif using the Google gboard using the stock messaging app, the gifs are too fast. When I attach a gif using the stock Samsung keyboard, that now supports gif, the animation speed is correct. But use the Google gboard and hyperspeed animation! Just as a side note when I use the Google gboard with any other messaging app this issue is not replicated as all gifs animation speeds are correct it just seems to be the combination of Google gboard and the stock messaging app. Any others experiencing this?

Still playing them too fast here and dropping frames...ruining the gif. This is after Oreo update (N950FD, UAE).

Hey I am T-mobile Rep in utah, i just had a customer that had this issues. What i had him do is go into the app settings and uninstall all updates, and then re-install the updates. Its seemed to have worked.

The Google keyboard looks to be the issue on my galaxy s8. When choosing a gif through the Samsung keyboard (which you can now do) it works fine (using the stock messaging app). As soon as I try the same thing with the Google keyboard gifs speed up. I just wish the Samsung keyboard had a gif search feature like the gboard has
