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

Does anyone use Gesture Search?

Hey guys,
Does anyone use Gesture Search from Google? I just found out about this app and I'm lovin' it! but I couldn't figure out how to use the 'Double flip' function in the app. From what I saw, the app's suppose to start when you flip the phone, it's a neat function but apparently I can't get to work on my Rachael anyone got any ideas?
Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3ZYKIqj7A

sounds interesting, going try that app right now
I can't get the flip to work either...

doesn't work with yours as well huh? maybe i should report a bug to Google

It also didn't work for me, I was going to post my own thread about it

did not work for me as well, updated and tried as soon as i got the market updates notification

Me neither! Tried on all settings, tried left handed, right handed. But nope, no joy.

I use it all the time to dial numbers..
I cant stand the stock dialer app, and the 5 clicks to get to someone.
gesture only takes a few seconds.
Always worked fine for me.

Yea, that's what i love about this app. I can just swipe two letters
and my friend would pop up on my screen and I can just tap the call button.
Lovin' it! But we're talking about the Double Flip function on the new
update for the app (ver 1.2). Does that work for you?
I just posted a thread on the Google Discussion page, hopefully someone
can fix this. Will keep you guys posted

nice man, thanks

Thanks, but it's definitely not complete. It's at least missing the change where when battery becomes fully charged you get audible notification and icon in notification bar.

yeah, I stated that it is the changes made besides those you can see from UI. (UI stands for User Interface - battery notification counts under this category).
P.S. I know MediaHub is included but without starting the application, you can't tell from looking at the UI alone.
Edit: I added Almost to my sentence, there happy? lol.

JI6 feels extremely smooth compare to stock JDF, I don't even use lagfix anymore because it makes the phone soft brick when you flash another ROM (stock or cooked). Many people have reported the same changes in feeling as well for both JI5 and JI6.

Built in to ji6, If so where?
On a side not I've noticed after the update my phones a little buggy. Like it blazes in places it used to lag and lags on things it used to never have problems with. I know the is not the thread to talk about such things. Just thought I'd mention it while asking about the market widget. Thinking of doing a hard reset to see if that still clear it up.
Also not positive about this but I think the phone will auto drop out of 3g when battery is low, possibly to save juice. Like I said I'm not positive on this but I get full bars at home and since updating phone has dropped out of 3g several times, which has never happened before. This only happens as far as I've noticed when battery is getting low. Maybe its just coincidence. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm 100% stock and not rooted

JI6 was very smooth compared to JFD, that's for sure. However, having moved on to Bionix 1.8 w/ voodoo, I find stock JI6 kind of laggy, especially in home key transitions.

Is there a way to turn that off? I got the update last night and it was annoying to have that tone go off while charging my Vibrant overnight.

Left out the part where the update fixed the default program bug. You can change program defaults without the phone resetting them. As an example ... Using launcher pro or zeam when I press home it would give a selection dialog that tells you to pick one. Now if you were to check the default and choose launcher pro the home button would automatically open launcher pro like three time then open up the default program selection.

Anyway to disable Media Hub so it doesn't start every 15 minutes and drain my battery. I'll probably never use it.

Cyanogenmod Nightly 116 has FM Radio Now

Just felt like sharing as i have been hoping for this for a while
now can't wait for them to finish 4G
Great Work Cyanogen

Thanks for sharing the news. I for one would love to see HDMI support over 4G, but both would be even better!

I'm still using CM6. I don't like running beta versions. I can't wait for 6.1!!!

well not perfect
it's a speaker icon rather then text (it wouldn't let me add text) but at least it's not chinese
also launcher icon is the HTC radio launcher icon
the apk is not signed nor do i plan on signing it since i made it for personal use
and my signing app was for windows and i just removed windos on my computer and replaced it with linux
install via adb or root explorer (remember to change permissions with explorer)

Thanks a lot. Hey what's that wallpaper if you dont mind.

Does the FM radio only work with headphones?

Been some work on the FM packages today on Github:
FM: New art from HaXzAmaTiC
FM: Fix notification string
FM: Enable Settings menu
FM: Add "about" that links to MIUI
FM: Fix case on strings to match Android convention
Merge "Added Italian translations:" into froyo

Sadly, yes. It also apparently needs Bluetooth to be on.

Can someone post a screenshot of the radio app? I'd like to try something.

Hey guys, I was thinking about contributing something to Cyanogen for a while now so I decided to make a new skin for the radio. It's super rough, details are wonky, buttons are missing, and everything is disproportionate or unaligned; but so far what do ya' think?

Latest HTC Android 2.1 Version

Hi, once I got my HTC Hero yest, I did a software update automatically on the way home. Do I have the lastest update to my phone? I notice that I have a hard time pressing the "+ new message" for SMS, it does not do anything. Or even then I want to add a widget to the screen, I have a hard time pressing the widget icon, but no issues pressing Program, shortcuts, and folder, just the top most selection.
Same thing happens where It doesnt do anything when pressing the + icon to add a company for the HTC stocks widget
Is there a way to calabrate the screen?

Thank you very much, however I though it would fix my issue of not being able to select new message icon, but I still cant select it.
Wont work for

Cant add Widget, but can add program, shortcuts and folders just fine, seems to be a sense issue for the top most "add" icon

Try doing a factory reset, maybe some of those 1's and 0's got lost in the ether.LOL! Of course everything that you've setup on the phone except for your sdcard will be erased. If you need to that Settings>PrivacyFactory Reset. Hope this solves the issue.

Yeah the directions take you to where it says calibrate your screen. Does it help(shrugging shoulders)dunno! Personnally if feel that when you are doin those ota's and driving or moving signal loss and tower changes may give you chance to drop data.IMO

Try something actully a couple of things, first try a battery pull. Then if nothing happens ,try a complete drain of the battery run it til it shuts down then recharge and see what happens.Don't know if it will help. But you never know

Man, you really should just spend a week or so messing with your phone instead of cluttering up the general section with questions that have all been answered or are easily answered by reading the guide that came with your phone. Not trying to be a ****, but Ive seen u start several threads here in the wrong section. Please use the search finction on the sight, and the user manual for your phone.

You're asking to get spammed.

Try looking at the Development section of the forum for AOSP or Dev Rom.

The software version that was on my sons hero I just rooted was
2.32.651.7 .Android version 2.1 update 1 . He got that update done at a Sprint store but the system update option under settings should give it to ya. His ran pretty smooth.
