Tweetdeck out of beta... - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Tweetdeck is out of beta and Tweetdeck 1.0 is available in the market and installs on the x10 and perfoms quite well..... (actually just installed it)
Here is the link to the blog post form TD
Make sure you increase the polling time in settings, the default time is set to 2 min.... or its a huge battery sucker i guess....

I haven't seen any issue (battery drain) with the 3 min. timeline update but I'm only using it for twitter though. But so far I'm loving it before TD I was using Twicca.

Thanks for the info. Read of the battery drain in the comments section of the TD blog, so assumed it as a battery drainer. Gonna reduce my polling time as well,

What is the advantage over twicca/seismic/touiteur?

Have facebook and twitter through tweetdeck updating every 3 mins. I can't see any battery drain or anything out of the normal battery wise

Me neither, best thing it is free and without adds. Works very well on my phone without battery drain.
Before I tried this I used tweetcaster. I like the way you can set up that app to your likings, but with tweetdeck I like the way the pics are shown.
For the moment I will use this one...

Yeah I like the way it shows pics as well no need for a plug in like twicca only thing missing that I noticed is twitter longer but not really a big deal something they can add in later.

Yep this is one of the best among there and after some continuous usage I can confirm that there is no heavy battery drainage which is a big PLUS for TD....

thank you for letting us know. this is nice.

one slight thing: for twitter the nice widgets are only usable from 2.1 or higher...so we have to wait for using the widgets.

vs twidroyd?

Damn... just tested and uninstalled.
This is an ugly UI.
Toitueur looks better and has enough options even in free version.

Tweeps add me up on twitter @uRstruly74.

Gingerbread update

i personally hate the update.. no changes to the UI or the lockscreen or nothing,... u shouldnt have to D/L other programs just too change the UI, the update should do that.. just my personal opinion
I did the update and I seen a lot of changes Like speed when you install aps they added some more setting and the phone don't lag speed increase
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
The only reason i updated was for gingerbread and quicksettings. Speed-wise it seems to be about the same as froyo.
I agree with you on the speed. Everything seems to fun better. Like browsing cnn.com on desktop mode. Before the update it would lag pretty bad for me while scrolling. Also noticed that using my bluetooth headset works better.
It would have been nice to see changes to the default UI but I am totally happy with the update.

Why would they change the ui?
Take a minute and think about it. How many people have this phone and do nothing to mod it... or have any clue how to.
So... if they changed the ui from what the phone was sold with... do you think the average dumbass human would take the time to learn.... or just take the phone in or call freaking out.
You don't buy a car then expect a new paint job when you took it in for an oil change do you?
Just saying. Topics like this make me want to boat over a dolphin and club a baby seal.

do any of your guys facebook contacts sync with your phone book contact after the update?
lol, facebook won't sync with 2.3.4 facebook refuses to follow the android standard, google gave them a ”grace period” to comply and they haven't so it's not going to work until facebook gets off their high house. I lol because this is really old news, guess you don't follow tech blogs/sites

My facebook sync's just fine on 2.3.4
From what I have read facebook is going to put out their own o/s for phones. I don't see it going very far though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Mine syncs fine with 2.3.5 too.
Battery life. AMAZING. I would get 10 hours on froyo. 1gb data a month..web browsing YouTube Facebook etc.. hundreds of texts a day. Push email. Take a couple pics a day with flash.sync and auto brightness on. Occasional GPS.
16 hours of battery life. 11am - 3am. Wow. Today I only charged it a little to 65%. I got 9-10 hours from that with the same usage.
If I use it from 7am on, im confident it'll be on low battery at 11pm, rather than after dinnertime.
lucky bastards

Twicca is barebones, and customizable. Runs really smooth. Allows you to only install the add-ons you actually use.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I use http://goo.gl/d4gHQ
i've tried a few, but to me, tweetcaster is by far the best and easiest to use. Tons of features.
Tweetdark is pretty nice. Simple nice UI and works well.
I use the official app. It's cleaner than everything else. Plume is pretty good also, but I had an issue where the text box wasn't visible when my keyboard and predictive words popped up. The official app appropriately shifts everything up, so nothing disappears.
I use Plume but I like inline previews pics and Twitlonger
tweetdeck is better for me, it just keep it simple and has twitlonger and more
Can't figure out for the life of me how to view replies to a tweet in Twicca, does it not have this function? You can see what I mean by going to Twitter.com on a desktop PC and clicking any tweet, a nested area opens up showing replies.
Tweetcaster is my favorite because I can customize it.

I only have one issue with this version, and it seems like the battery draining is huge with this version, otherwise, it looks very, VERY good and pretty stable for me. I'm happy because finally it looks even better than the iOS version, and the emoticons button is now placed in a more comfortable area.
Thanks for the heads up.

^like he/she said. It's always been there. Works fine on the new version too.
No, I think he means the option to HIDE it. I find it an invasion of privacy (anyone who has your number can see when you're online, not only your contacts) so I don't use whatsapp more than to send my parents messages. I use Line until Whatsapp fixes that issue and bring it to a level that makes it on par with Android. Until then, I never answer people because I hate having people know when I'm using my phone to answer messages or not. One good thing in Line's favor is that it also has a PC Client version which means I get home, I can continue conversations directly, apart from the obvious privacy concern.
Come on Whatsapp, get your game on. This is an option that has been available for iOS for as long as I can remember, but you're lacking on Android.
