Twitter App - HD2 General

Anyone have an recommendation for a good Twitter app? I was a fan of Seesmic for Android but found nothing I like yet for WinMo. Also, does anyone know how to put the icon for Twitter on the Homescreen? (not in the bottom bar) I am running Kumar Premium. Thanks.

Get MoTweets.

Thanks, Ill check it out.

I prefer TouchTwit.

MOTWEETS
MoTweets is the best twitter app I have used..handsdown. I think it is a lot better than Peep as well.

Just installed motweets and i do like it, though i can't seem to get list option to work, any ideas? I have created 3 lists on my twitter account on feeds im following though when i go to lists in motweets and click refresh they don't appear.

For some reason now after installing v1.7 it decided to work

Curious??? What's wrong with Peep that comes on the HD2? Works great for me, but if this Motweet action is way better, I'll give it a shot.

Peep is pretty kick-ass but it lacks a few of the options that MoTweets has. download motweets and give it a go. Its pretty nice. I am actually using both at the moment.

After upgrading to the new ROM for my HD2 and reinstalling Motweet.exe from my PC it now shows all of the timeline stamps as "1 minute ago". No matter how many times I refresh. I bought the full version or whatever.
Any ideas? Or is this an issue on Twitter's end? Hrmmmm.

Figured this out. When I loaded up the new ROM, I noticed that it had my time incorrect. I manually set it. Just noticed that my date was also incorrect. It was a day behind. Once I fixed the date, the timeline started working again...
My question. Is there a place to choose whether it automatically pulls the time and date that might be unchecked for me or something? I've been digging but haven't found anything.

You can try this, but I don't know how well it works (never used it myself):
On your settings tab, pick "data services", and there will be an "internet time sync" button, where you can then choose for it to "get time from the internet"
Other than that, I've never seen any settings to get the time automatically

About Motweets, how do you get it to run during startup + minimized? I'm just looking for an app that does that, so if Motweets can't do that, can someone direct me to another that does?

Keep track of data transfer (GPRS)

Is there any way to keep track of the amount of data transferred through GPRS.
I currently subscripe to 200mb transfer per month, so I would like to keep track of this or it could become pretty expensive for me
If you google, you'll find a couple of commercial ones, but I found this for free a while ago. To be honest, I haven't a clue where I got it from, but it was definitely free.
Ave it!
Thats exactly what I had in mind!
Thanks alot!!

You're welcome
It's a good app - very basic, but does exactly what you need. If I remember correctly, it also ensures that it's always running, until you manually stop it, so if you reboot your phone when it's running, it starts when the phone boots up again.
This looks pretty cool.
Shame it's not got a nicer looking icon
Scary how much data browsing full web pages uses but this device is just sooooo good at it

Yeah it sure works perfectly.
Nice to be able to set the date when it's supposed to restore as well.
Actually I don't find it in the task manager, at least not as a program, so it's no risk that one closes it unintentionally, which is great. It's really super
+1
Thanks
it'S a trial version ... go to "about" and it ask you for a serial number.
It most certainly is.
Well, as long as it's not a trial that will expire it works just fine for me, I don't need any other functions.
I seem to be getting red crosses in the connections is that normal?
That happens when your connection isn't active. If you start surfin the cross will probably disappear
Seems to work so far. 25kb just for email (imap4 headers) and weather update But again the problem that the connection doesn't disconnect by itself after 60sec (seems to happen when I update the weather, otherwise it seems to disconnect fine)
Did you do the tweak so it disconnects?
Remember to disable all auto-update, including weather and TIME!
Then it works with the autodisconnect.

Yes, I installed the cab and every auto-update is off. when browsing with opera or watching youtube it disconnects, but when I update weather manually it doesn't disconnect. wired.

Facebook App... Grr!

Must admit, the Facebook app for the HTC HD2 is pants. Before I had the HTC, I was on Blackberry Storm, and loved the Facebook app, as it used to download my alerts in real time.
But with the HTC HD2 I have to log in each time on the app, and have to refresh the facebook app. Complete rubbish I think.
Anyone know is the Facebook app on the HTC HD2 is going to get any better?
You have an Opera browser and a big screen -make use of it!
Where's the point in using a stupid app for things that are way easier directly in the browser?
I find the app quicker, and more convenient! Well it was on the Blackberry Storm anyway...
hey dude, i know how you feel... i was a bit dissapointed with the facebook app at first but then i waited for a while, i tryed looking for a alternative third party app but nothing was any good, then i found a CAB on here for the new facebook for resistive screen phones, someone had made it work with HD2 and it works great, much better than the old one
i did a review of it on my youtube channel, you should check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7dDxLrP2GI
Actually the constant need to log in is a bug. Everytime I flash a ROM, one of the first thing I do is to run the Facebook app, and tick the save login option. After that it never asks for login again....but you'll still have to refresh manually. I'm guessing it's more of a conflict with another installed apps or just general winmo weirdness.
Otherwise, yeah, the apps is pretty pathetic.
FB
Does anyone else have the problem that it saves the pics from Facebook into an album on the device memory, and then when you go into your albums you have tons and tons of albums because each pic is saved as an album?

I have the option "save details" ticked, but I have to type in my details everytime. Hence why I get frustrated!
Im using m.facebook.com for the time being, until HTC sort the facebook app out.

First; there are other people who also have the problem with FB not "saving" the login info.
Do a quick search and see if they've found a solution.
Second; http://touch.facebook.com might be more to your liking..
m.facebook.com is fine for Nokias, but the touch.facebook.com page is made for "iPhone-like" devices like our HD2.

That's why...it works only if you do it before installing too many other apps....so if u ever reflash a ROM, make sure logging into facebook and saving details is one of the first things u do.

Can you tell me where to find this fix, i found the one that requires using the registry editor but there are at least 60 folders with anywhere from 1 to 4 photos in each.
they are only little thumbnails as well
they way i read the registry tweak, it says to input each individual folder in...
The HTC Facebook ALbum hotfix (just installed) does not stop it downloading tiny pics from FB of all your contacts.
As from the HTC site:
restores the ability to view your friends’ photo albums
This suggests its related to privacy settings, and the app's ability to now process that correctly.
(i.e. able to view them online, but app wouldn't allow you to)
Can you point me in the direction of the registry fix for it?
Hi, my available device memory is down to 18mb, and I haven't really stored much there. Could it be due to the Facebook app, which keeps storing the pics in Device Memory? In that case, how do I free up this space?
In HD2 General go to Hints page and do what is sudgested in No:64 than install an App called ClearTemp in the Menu click sellect all and and clean once a day at least.it will take just a few seconds.
Edit::looks on the hint page is not cleare enough".
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
Add a new string: Name – Facebook Cache,
Value – \temp\imagecache
That should be \fbimagecache
and it worked.
Thanks for that.

Why is Twitter slow on update?

Hi!
Is it just me or why is my Twitter not upated as soon as a new twitt is written.
I have made a small test and when i write something on my PC's twitter it takes a while before i can see it on my HD2. How come?
Get the TouchTwit app. It's like $2, and I've found it to be way more useful and prompt than the included Peep program. Not perfect, but better.

I've the same problem, in the settings I've set the update to every 15 minutes, but I have always update it manually. When I wake up in the morning I always see that the last update was around midnight and that update was done by myself.

Then we have a new problem/bug for them to fix....
My guess is that we're never going to see any fix for our problems now when there's new models out on the market that needs fixing as well But i read a thread about the U.S model have had a new ROM that fixed every problem the old one had... I'm glad for them and are hoping that the rest of the world can expect the same treatment.
Not any fix atm?
have no idea, think its something wrong with the program.... hope they update it someday

Android Market installations now available via your browser!

Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

Cool, so you can install apps on your phone remotley?
Gunna give it a try.

Yes mate. I am genuinely surprised at how seamless it is. I had my phone in front of the screen and clicked "install" and it immediately started downloading on my phone. It's a VERY nice feature!

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

Great stuff is this!
I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.

[Q]Facebook

Anybody noticed that Facebook push notification aren't working?
Noticed that...can't find any reaso why.
Should work with Android 2.2.X but it doesnt
Ah I'm glad it's not just me. Well I thought it was just the ROM I'm using but like you said all 2.2 devices should support it.
Since today i'm running RAFDROID HD 3.1 and there is no "push" setting in facebook available.
I think it's an Facebook bug because a friend of me have an Desire HD and there a no notifications, too.
Are there any solutions to get they working? I would love push notifications in facebook
There never was any push setting it jusr sort of happened try going back to version 1.5.0. Tell me if it works. The apk is attached for you.
I noticed that the notification aren't working when on mobile data, then a message appears saying that notification cannot be checked (connection reset by peer) or s.thing similar.
However, when on WiFi the notifications are loading.
Guess as well that it is a Facebook bug.

Ouch I don't have that problem. Are you sure you haven't turned off auto sync?
two weeks ago i was running a CoreDroid HD Rom and got the first time push notifications in facebook. i could swear i saw there an option called "push notifications" on/off...
maybe i was wrong.
since that time they never worked again on any rom i tried. (desire z / Raf / Coredroid...)
why we are so outstanding with android? it can't be so hard for the devs of the facebook app to get push working?!
Main thing is the applephone have it!!

Well maybe there was, I'm not sure. I have never seen it. Exactly the situation had them perfect until a week or so ago.
Lets face it the app could do with a facelift compared to the Apple one anyway.
