Hi everyone!
Does anyone knows or has Twitter lag issues? I installed Twitter official app but i had more than one time that while scrolling timeline it slowed and locked it, only worked again after i closed it and open again...i´ve already uninstall and installed again and same results...
I found the official Twitter client to be very unstable. I had lots of errors whilst using it.
I now use the Birdsong client. It seems much better and is very stable.
Yeah the official client isn't the best.
I've used Birdsong, Mehdoh and Rowi. They're all good but even better than those is a client called Carbon. Very fast and fluid. Has all the features you'd want. Thumbs up!
Hum, thanks for all info! Any free suggestion?
Get Mehdoh if you want a free one. But you can trust me: Carbon is worth buying.

For some time now, when I'm viewing the Facebook Touch site in the stock browser, at the bottom of the page is the line
"Download Facebook for your Ruth"
I think it started when I first flashed CyanogenMod, but I can't confirm that.
Googling 'android ruth' turns up rumors of a device named Ruth from Motorola, but I've never seen one, personally.
So, anybody know why Facebook is confused about what device I'm using?
I mean, my user agent specifically says 'Nexus One'
My stock N1 does the same thing! I've never rooted it or flashed another rom or anything, and it still thinks my N1 is a Ruth.

Facebook thinks mine is a Hero. Then again I only noticed that initially, not sure what it says now.
Mine says "Download Facebook for your Nexus One"
Running EPF21B - insecure, but otherwise stock.
So while we are on this topic, whats the best facebook app out there?

the android one is fine...
back on topic. mine says ruth, too. always wondered what that was about...
Anybody else have an opinion on the best facebook app? I hear stock is pretty good but I'm just curious to what you guys think. I'm guessing there is as many facebook apps as there are twitter apps, so thats why i'm so curious. Peace

Haven't come across one. there was a decent one out before we've got an official Facebook app, but I haven't seen any updates in awhile. stock one is okay, I use it just to read status updates and update my contacts. I use the touch site to see new notifications and browse through pictures, its way faster at loading pics than stock and notifications are easier to access. Facebook app takes you to Facebook mobile site when you click on any notification, pretty gay. while it is getting better, not as cool as iPhone Facebook app lol.

Oh ok, thanks man. =)
I'm a new user of the SGS and am waiting patiently for my first Android phone to arrive. I have read many, many, many...did I say many post, here and on many other forums alike, concerning the SGS. I have read pros and cons and tips and tricks, but most have been on phones that have been 'Rooted'. I will like to defer from doing such thing(at least not yet) but would rather wait until Samsung releases the official Firmware that will supposedly clear all(most) of the major faults that the SGS has.
Now I would like this to be an official thread that would help those of us, who have a stocked SGS and may or may not be experiencing major lag, to help give tips on how to improve the stock SGS as it is already; for speed, what programs to use etc. It would be very comforting to establish what folks have installed on their phones and any recommendations to getting the best out of their stock SGS as possible, in waiting for the New Update Official Samsung firmware to be release.
So please, offer any advice or tips for tweaks or programs to get, maybe a place to get them if possible, so as to make life a little easier. Thank you.
I received my galaxys exactly a week ago and i immediately jumped onto the Market.
Make sure you have a google(gmail) account, as it connects the accounts.
My best downloads are as follows:
-3g watchdog. keeps an eye on your usage
-Astro . file manager
-Audiomanager. speaks for itself
-facebook
-galactic core free . Epic live wallpaper
-mario live wallpaper . not available on market, google it.
-opera mini- web browser, better than stock
-shake them all- THE BEST LIVE WALLPAPER EVA, moves droids react to accelerometer, sound and light.
-starfield,live wallpaper
-Task Manager. essential task manager for watching all your apps and services.
thats it, just search the market and XDA for other cool apps
Those are some really nice tips. I do appreciate. I also like to concur about the Opera Mini app. I use that on my N95 8gig at the moment and there's nothing that can come close. although, there are a few bugs that I think they kinda left out due to the Andriod fever, which I have apparently gotten Regardless, I am glad they have an android app of that in the market. I assume there is already a Market app on the phone, already, right?
Also. What about apps that you do not ever use? I read about not being able to remove them but is it possible to completely disable them?
The android market is pre-loaded onto the phone. there are many apps that come on the phone that are really useful. There are a couple of apps that you may not use but most of them are really useful.
I dont know that you are able to delete these stock apps but you can change the default apps. For example if chosen as default, Opera Mini opens up ALL web links and is really useful. The Stock browser is excellent but im used to opera as i used it on my Satio previously.
The model i bought was a 16GB version and 2GB is reserved for apps, ive also got a 16GB sd card so im not worried about storage.

Also been using Astro but I prefer Dolphin to Opera.(Used Opera mini on my N95)
BTW all: My first post on the forum so G'day to all.
G'day Mate
As the Dolphin compared to Opera mini?
Just go and try it,its also free from the market. You may still prefer Opera,doesnt matter.Give it a go anyway.
I will when I get my phone. That is why I asked. I do not have my phone yet.
Just a suggestion which hasn't been mentioned yet is to try LauncherPro or ADWLauncher as it makes customizing your home windows much easier. I love being able to customize the info I really want to see. Also spend some time using swype and you won't want to go back.

I tried the Opera mini 5.1.21126 version and I think the tapping response is weaker than the stock browser. I had to tap several times to get a response. Either that or the mini is not calibrated accurately. I've reverted back to the stock browser. I will give Dolphin a go.
To start off, I'll shed light on where you can find the following applications
Facebook S! - Found in the [Samsung Apps] application off your application drawer.
Facebook for Android - Found in the [Android Market].
Well as we all know. Facebook for Android is horrible as it brings you to the mobile site everytime you hit something off the Notifications area(not integrated within the application itself). And it's slow compared to the Facebook iOS users get. And that is pretty sad. I'm not a Facebook whore so I'm not "essentially complaining" but I guess I'm speaking for the masses?
So I was browsing [Samsung Apps] for fun and I realized there's a new application released! That's right. Facebook S! It has no underbar as Notifications though it can be found under "Inbox". But, it's all integrated within the application! No more mobile-site!
While that's a step-up from the Facebook for Android application, I'm keeping both for the heck of it.
What's your view?
tl;dr - There's a new Facebook application off [Samsung Apps], try it. Compare it with the Facebook application off the [Android Market] and tell me what you think.
OMG, nice... i try samsung one and it works like a charm... my new FB app.
I just want to visit my facebook account occasionally, I don't want a facebook ' account' on my phone, why do all the apps in the market set one up and try to sync things I don't want this...

Facebook S!
Hey guys... I saw this when I flashed to JM7 but it's not avail on JPC... any chance we might get an apk uploaded... thought I'd pushed on to the external SD, but must have pushed it to the internal... and of course to get to JPC I reformatted that one! )
Thanks in advance!

That's bad news
ye I don't wanna sync anything but my mail.
the facebook samsung pushed out ain't bad.
yup there's a task manager off samsung too. lol.
I tried both and to be honest I think both suck. I just login through the mobile web. A lot faster!
I think Facebook S is totally futile piece of software. Doesn't bring anything really new and lacks essential functionalities. It's also slow, because it always seem to load stuff when one changes the tab.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i've came to a conclusion that both suck in comparison to what the apple's appstore has.
well i hope facebook steps up. >.>
shall use the Facebook for Android for now. mobile site is way faster than all that loading ****.
Facebook_s sucks even more than the regular app.loading times are horrific.Plus it also looks a lot less crisp then the regular app.

Doesn't have a widget either. While it's not amazingly functional I am a fan of having the normal facebook widget on my homescreen.
isn't the feeds widget the facebook widget for samsung?!
Facebook S is crap. It is extremely limited. All you can do is browse your wall and other people's walls. Things like Facebook Events and contact lists that are in the official app, are all missing.
I don't know why people have problems with the official Facebook app, I find it works awesome. Its basically identical to the iPhone one now.

This is not true in Facebook S you can upload Video easily.. and you can view them very fast..the normal facebook app will not upload video's and its hard to view videos.. in the Facebook S you have a tab just for videos
Ditto with what one of the previous posters said...I stick with the mobile website.
The Android Facebook app doesn't look that good IMHO. The Samsung one is REALLY buggy and clunky. Searching for friends doesn't turn up results unless they are all shown in the list below...so you have to manually click show more or whatever to get all your friends to show, and then you can search for them. That's a bit inconvenient and senseless if you ask me. Also the inbox is messed up.
Both apps load really slow. The mobile website is still what I rely on. I just bookmark it to make it easier to get to.
Hi to all,
unfortunately i delete the facebook s app from my galaxy i9000 and now i can not find it anymore.
I also went in to samsung app, but......where it is?
Could you please post it here (or let me know where I can find it)?
I also didn't find it with samsung kies.
Best regards
I just stick with touch.facebook.com on my browser, find it much better than any of the apps.
When I first got my phone i used the facbook S and i thought there was something wrong with my phone as it took ages to upload and was generally slow in all area's.
Then tried official app and found it a world of difference - ok the mobile site is still quicker but for most thing the app is ok.
This is an application i have been working on for a while, so i thought will give you guys a preview.
Now available in Android Market. You can report any bugs or issues here
I would really appreciate some feedback and suggestions too
I use apps like your all the time
I'm really interrested by testing it
My email to send it : [email protected]

Thanks for the interest, i have mailed you the apk file.
Is this meant more as a historical episode guide, or a current episode/TV Guide type of application?
The reason I ask , is I was looking for just such an app last week (The current and upcoming episode type), and found one that works rather well and seems well polished already..
It's called "TV Show Favs" and has the ability to flag shows for your own listing, see upcoming schedules by day, get episode synopsis, guest stars, and you can even look up any show, and look at it's historical episode info.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv-show-favs/com.tvshowfavs
Not that having another app isn't fine... but you might want to see if you can differenciate your app vs this one in some fashion.. your screens look very nice already, but as a user I'd ask myself "What can this new app do that my current one cannot'.
Good luck on the development though...
@DroidGnome
This is more like a historical episode guide, but i do plan to implement upcomng schedules and other features as well.
I did come across that after i started developing this and that app is quite nice already.
What i did not like about that however is the need to register and use an online account,
my application was developed with mostly offline mode in mind.
The only time data network is used is to update the stuff.
However to really get a good idea about the app you would have to try it, so i will try to upload a beta version here soon.
Thanks
update
i have added the latest beta version of the application, if anyone is testing out there let me know whats happening thanks.
Added a video for series droid ui preview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BppnQC3RSDc
slow transition effects is coz video was taken on an emulator not an actual device
If you like it download it on android market just search "Series Droid", if you like it please help me by rating it
thanks
works g8 on my phone
So.. I was searching for the apk for the new Facebook lite as it's not available in a lot of countries yet... And came across 2... Both seem like they're Facebook made...
Facebook lite - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/lite/facebook-lite-1-0-0-0-0-official-apk/
And Facebook Fast - http://www.apk4fun.com/apk/2239/
Now the fast seems nice and you can select most recent but doesn't seem to have push notifications
But lite seems to have push notifications but I can't seem to get it to show most recent just stupid top stories.
Anyway, thought I'd share my findings to see what u guys think about em both?

Facebook Lite is an official Facebook app distributed by Facebook, Fast is a third-party app.
I can't find any info out on the fast one. It's not the team2soft fast for facebook app, it's completely different what I found
Lite seems nice but laggy as hell. Some users says that it run smoothly on a dual core phones.

Personally, I just recently switched to Tinfoil for Facebook.

Hi! I have read your topic and I just want to clarify that all the fast apps (also on windows phone) are fake! They use the name of my app just to have some extra downloads
Any way the real original is Fast for Facebook . Don't trust anything else, these fakes (+ crappy games) are the reason why facebook is limiting the old API.
I didn't see this and ended up posting it.
Here's the official Facebook Lite only. None of those third party ones.

Would be good if it had a timeline that was in order
