yes i did have that, i was asking if i post my status why in facebook it didnt show like "from my HTC" whereas iphone has "from iPhone" everytime the status is changed.

HTC users are not flashy like iphone users

use opera
http://m.facebook.com for the simple design and more advance version
and
http://iphone.facebook.com for the simple apple user minded version
both are mobile friendly and dont show all the f***ing apps
also work in a normal browser

alright thanks

also http://lite.facebook.com is my personal favourite, works fine in opera and is just like the full facebook but without the apps

Skyfire browser?

Sorry if this has been brought up before, search didn't come up with anything though. I just saw on a few news sites some posts on the Skyfire browser (http://www.skyfire.com/) going into beta. Almost sounds too good to be true, basically a greatly improved Opera Mini. I'm not a huge fan of giving unknown companies my phone number to sign up for a browser I've never heard of, so I was just wondering...has anyone heard anything about this?
Skyfire
I've heard about it but as I understand it's in a beta test that's only available in the States so I've not been able to try it out.
Yeah only available in the US. I have signed up for the beta but you can't download it yet. looks pretty cool.
Can someone plz upload it here once it's available for download.
that browser jus blew safari, opera mini, picsel and IE or anyother mobile browser away..its freakin sweet cant wait till i get it..lolz..and its FREE
herez the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mWUoxiLZFc
OMG Finally
Out of all the App's that I have, that will be the MOST used. I have always been envious of the Safari browser in the iPhone. Now they will be envious of all of us 100% I can't wait to get my approval. Thanks for the post.
Kevin
Wow, that's pretty cool. Opera has been draggin their heels so long with Mobile 9.0, looks like they might get their thunder stolen again like they did with desktops.

C'mon on man... Thats a very bold comment to make without anyone actually touching it yet. Prime example: PoinUI... It looks sweet but is not as functional as it is beautiful. Just a thought

Why would you want to use Google Maps in the browser if Google has already released a pretty fully functional WM app anyway?
I signed up for the beta as well.. Hope at least someone gets in..

As a matter of fact I did see the video... and I still feel the same way: What good is a beautiful product that doesn't function? Kinda like the Titan right? it's got Rev A, But does it work? no. Your next comment will proli be "well what about 3.16?"... My rebuttal it's extremly buggy I know because I'm using it. But back on topic... My opinon... Dont get too excited about things that aren't available... again just my opinon.

sounds quite strange to me..

Why is SKYFIRE still taking new sign up’s? If they can’t handle the volume they should take down the invite . I signed up on the first day and still don’t have it.

HTC should make FaceBook App

I deactivated my Facebook account because I didn't have time to use it and the microsoft facebook on my phone wasn't the best (why leave information up on a site that you don't have time to check/change?).
If HTC develops a Facebook app or a tab for the HD2 in the awesome way they do things, I probably will start facebook again.
I agree. I'm not hating or anything, but facebook has a much broader use than Twitter and it would be nice to be able to communicate people who actually matters to you rather than following some celeb or industry giant (be it Paris Hilton or Peter Chou).

if you check the topaz and rhodium threads you'll find htc have a facebook app just not like the twitter tab. its integrated into your contacts if you have a search you'll find out more. also if you go to x.faceboom.com you can access it via opera and it looks like the iphone version
I dont have either phone (TD2 or Pro2)... TF3D allows you just to check status of that particular contact... am I right so far??? also it will not allow you to comment etc.. on that status.
But what most of us will like is some something similar to the twitter tab, a complete status update of all your friends (most recent) and allows you to comment etc.. without the need to open an app or a browser... wishfull thinking maybe
HTC shouldn't be doing anything now except getting the WM6.5 rom for the Diamond 2 released.
yep. like i said though. best bet so far is the mobile site atm. the x.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook version.
ps it seems microsoft have updated the facebook app on marketplace. I check the version numbers of both and the new one is 1.1 but they both look the same to me

Consider fring. It has a facebook add-in (although I don't use it so can't recommend). I do like fring for voip and integrating social networking functions in one place, though. Try it, you might like it.

Facebook notifications

ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.
There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.
just downloading now will update on what its like
that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand
Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.
yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.
setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me
Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.
thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

Which Twitter app is the best? [ROUND 2]

It's round 2 of the Twitter client battle for Android. Since the first poll, many apps were introduced and had been updated. So for Round 2, I've narrowed it down to the top Twitter clients.
Round 1 results: Touiteur wins!
Of the numerous Twitter apps available in the Android Market, free or paid, which one have you decided to you use after trying out the others?
I'm pretty sure most of you guys (like me) have tried multiple twitter clients for our Android phones.

Engadget's article on the different Twitter Client on Android. 05/06/2010
Let's get some more comments and votes
I like twicca.
-------------------------------------

I use Seesmic..would be the perfect client if it had name auto-completion which they said is in the works.
Still think touiteur is way ahead in this debate .. Official is nice however i hate the UI ..
Still touiteur well ahead of the rest
Before I use Twidroid. Now Official Twitter app is the best.
I use touituer but would use the official Twitter app if it had a black color theme. The pure white drives me nuts, but I love how it functions and its tie in with the OS sync and contacts etc.

The official twitter client would be my favorite if the timeline didn't move to the top after refreshing. They also need a better widget to compose with, rather than one that shows a single tweet at a time from your timeline. I don't to a lot of posting (mostly just a reader), but I'm sure others would want that.
Twicca is still my favorite since it is super clean and works the way I expect a twitter client to work.
Touiteur is nice, but the UI is kind of messy.

Agree! It's too flashy for my taste.
Twicca for the functionality and clean ui
i use tweetcaster. I like the layout and the different themes. It would be handy if i could accept new requests instead of having to go to the twitter website.
Also, does anyone know of any twitter app that utilises the twitlonger system ?
http://www.twitlonger.com/
I know that some of the ibore apps use this and it would sometimes be real useful.

google reader . Which is the best

I have tried so many google reader apps. But could not find one thats really good
In iphone i have newsrack - Very good one and has nice preview of images with each icon.
Feedsquare is one with similar fns but sync is terrible
Any suggestions.
I like greader. It reminds me of the mobile site, and is very easy to navigate.
Did you tried Newsrob?
I used to use Newsrob, but now I've switched to using the Reader mobile site - it's great. No good for you if you need offline reading of course, but it gets my vote
I think they all SUCK. I don't have a lot in my list, perhaps 12 sources, half of them news, other tech stuff. And syncing in every Greader app I've found takes forever, often either downloading some X number of total articles and skipping ALL the rest (wtf??) or downloading thousands of articles. Hello, X number of new articles?
So I just read in the default browser, it works great, but obviously it's not offline... Don't try it in Opera, it renders horribly.
Using the Greader site, works ok.
But since I'm using Feedly (Firefox extension) on my laptop I'm really looking forward to their Android app that should be released shortly.
NewsRob works for me.

Newsrob does not give a thumbnail in the list view.
This i find very useful.
See the attached image to see what i mean
Shortcut to the mobile page for me.
gReader is the best in my opinion, tried most everything.
I don't like gReader, it's too damn iPhony. This is Android, no clue why the dev follows Apple's GUI guidelines here lol
Anyway, my vote goes to FeedR, slick and fast. Although if I haven't purchased it, then I would just use the mobile site.
Looking forward to an official app from Google.
Yup, another vote for the mobile site here.
The big problem for me with the Android apps is that they only do the feeds and not the shares from friends (e.g. shares from Google Buzz).
have u all try feedR? i think it's the best from all google reader apps i've tried

Maybe because Android doesn't have a good GUI guideline? Have you noticed how inconsistent Android apps are?

There is a good ui guidline for Android. There is one also for icons, widgets, and what not. Check out the Android Dev site. It doesn't have to be very detailed and covers everything, but it sure preserves the Android style and atmosphere which is NOTHING like gReader.

Did you guys try the mobile site optimized for the iPhone?
http://www.google.com/reader/i/
I find it displays the feeds fast and big enough to comfortably read without zooming in.
