I have tried these so far
Twidroyd
Twidroyd was one of the first Android Twitter apps, and it has remained one of the best. The only complaint I’ve had is that Twidroyd isn’t as fast as it once was, but that hasn’t stopped it from being one of the most used apps. The Pro edition of Twidroyd was among the first to introduce new features like multiple accounts, themes, and media sharing, so users can count on strong features in a good interface.
Tweetcaster
The Tweetcaster interface is very pretty and the features are appealing. There are dark and light theme options, favorites, profile reading, filtering by user, and the ability to save searches. In fact, features are the saving grace of the app because it is one of the most-decorated of the comparison chart. No matter what I removed or added, Tweetcaster typically had it. I’m unable to get Twitter.com list support, but the app does let users create lists within the app. The free and pro editions are identical except that free version includes advertisements.
Plame
Full disclosure: I’m biased in my admiration for Plame. I love when apps incorporate beautiful designs, and few apps are as pretty Plame. Anyone who uses this app should opt for the Premium version, which adds theme support, color-coded multiple accounts, a widget, and threaded conversations. The great thing about Plame is that its constantly updating. The app needs to improve its speed to rival other apps, but Plame remains one of my favorites.
Great for: People who value good looks, lots of features, and constant updates
Am currently using both Tweetcaster PRO and Plume, Plume is really cool and I love the features but it is dirt slow with updating the tweets. Tweetcast PRO I just got so am still feeling it out fully but it is definitely faster then Plume in everyway...
So which twitter app would you recommend??? which do you use on a regular basis???
I always use Plume.. I've tried the others and I enjoyed Plume the best..
I use tweetcaster it seems to do what I like. I tried tweetdeck but i didn't like it at all. I am going to download plume and test it out now though
Best twitter app I've tried was seesmic, but I'm running twicca right now and its probably a tie. I tried all those others you listed and tweetdeck and they all suck.
Best cleanest and fastest I feel is seesmic, full featured is tweetcaster and twidroyd. Don't like plume at all anymore.

I haven't tried many of the other ones so I can't say. They just look "after marketish" to me tho..
I'm not a major "tweeter" I just follow a lot of the things I'm interested in and use it for updates.
I'm just coming to the conclusion that you really can't go wrong with any as there some who will go to bat for each twitter client. I for one paid for Tweetcaster and liked it and haven't tried another one since. This thread is making me want to try the others again though.
One question I do have though, which client has the best widget? That's the deal breaker for me.
Plume hands down
I hop between Plume and Twitdroyd but I use plume 90% of the time.
I've tried twitter, tweetdeck, seesmic and tweetcaster and keep coming back to tweetcaster. It's not as intuitive as some of the others, but I like the combination of appearance and features better than the others.
[edit] Ok, so I just checked out Plume, and it might become my new favorite. Thanks for the recommendation! [/edit]
I use Plume
i used plume for the longest. i loved it but i got tired of it so i am using tweetdeck now and i like this as well if i had two pick the better of the two i would say plume
Wow, I really thought Tweetdeck would be getting more love. It's by far my favorite. Plume is nice, but why not have Facebook, Buzz, and Foursquare all rolled in? The only thing I don't like about it is the widgets.
The 'Tweetdark' mod makes Tweetdeck that much better.
The official Twitter app, after one of the updates, got a lot better. But I still use Seesmic. Don't tweet much, myself, mainly for following various 'parties.' Very clean and quick. Perfect for myself.
My main gripe with Twitter apps is that none of them offer push notifications for mentions and replies; They all poll, some of them in as little as 3 minutes by default (Tweetcaster and I think Plume). I mean, polling for new tweets every THREE MINUTES BY DEFAULT?
That is absolutely insane. You can drain your battery in a few hours without even touching your phone if-- God forbid -- you forget to shut them down , or are an average user and simply don't know the effects of this on the battery.
Heck, I think even a poll of every 15 minutes is too much.
I've tried emailing them and I've gotten some responses but no changes--months later.
So personally this is my setup: Official Twitter app with no background updating, Plus Notifo Beta (Google it) and Push.ly. That way I get my mentions and replies pushed to my phone. I'm still testing it and some people say it's unrealiable, but I can always come back to regular SMS notifications.

Everything else I tried felt "aftermarketish". Except Seesmic. Clean, professional, fast and very, very functional. Used Plume for a while before I found it. Plume has now been deleted from my phone.

Hi all,
I got my HD2 yesterday and so far I am very happy with it, except for a few minor details. One of the biggest annoyances so far is the Twitter client (HTC Peep). It's useless! When I try to update the latest tweets the entire phone slows down and it takes ages before they are updated. Also, scrolling up and down is extremely slow, except for most of the times when Twitter isn't updating at all.
Are everyone else having this issue as well? Are there an alternative Twitter client that works fine with the HD2?
Thanks!

Second that!
Im using it without problems, its fast..
Only auto update doesnt work...
Maybe you have conflict with any installed SW...What about to try hard reset...
Mine is useless. It takes ages to upload/update, and doesn't automatically move to the top. It looks lovely but, coming from twitterific on the iPhone, its pretty useless as it stands. Its all down to how slow it is. Is this a ROM issue?
Mine also can't "make contact with the service" most of the time. Wile pocket twit works al the time.
Same here, also when it refuses to update it slows down the phone and I have to wait for 5 minutes++ for it to go back to normal.
Does anyone know of an alternative/good Twitter client I can use instead of HTC Peep?

I couldn't recommend Panoramic MoTweets any higher. It's not free, but it's cheap.
Personally, I've not had even the slightest gripe with the twitter tab in Sense, so I'm gonna stick with that, but I used MoTweets for a long time on my HD. Give it a try.
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/motweets/moTweets.php
I'm not a big twitter user, but I've had no problems with mine. Speedy and never fails to update.
I just wish it had a time limit on the notifications (no, I don't want to be notified at 3am thanks), but I think I'll end up with a generic alert management system to cover that anyway.

useless for now :S if someone deletes a tweet you already seen, the changes does not happen on hd2 when you update.
Do they actually test the software before sending it to the masses ?.. darn thing..
Hi, trying to use HTC Peed on my HD2 is near impossible. It slows right down or crashes!
I downloaed moTweets from the Marketplace a few days ago and have to say it's amazing! The interface is beautiful and the screenshots don't do it justice. It alerts you on the notifications bar when new tweets or message arrive.
Plus it has everything you need to retweet, send location, pictures, videos, view links, shorten links. I can't believe they charge under £3 for this. I've removed Peep for my bar and put moTweets on my quick links.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. Anyways, the Norwegian marketplace has 11 (!) apps. Totally useless so far.
Because my Twitter app also would'nt connect via GPRS, but did via WiFi, I contacted HTC NLD for a solution. Their reaction was that this might be a proxy problem.
So of your mobile provider uses proxy Twitter is next to useless. If not, it should work fine.
Check if this is the case by connecting your HD2 to WiFi and start twittering. If the lag or connection issues are gone you have a proxy! Check the provider settings if you're able to connect without a proxy.
Also third party twitter apps will prove to be useless because they use the same proxy. In that case the only option is to connect to internet and twitter on line.

Brilliant Twitter App. Very cheap, and rock solid. Gets updates often. . Well supported by developer and.....
Works like a charm when not connected to WiFi too.
I would have liked to use the built in twitter app, but I too can''t get it to work over a non wifi connection, I looked at removing my proxy info, but my proxy box was already unticked so made no difference to the problem.
Thankfully Twikini is supurb (and I had already purchased it previously) so I just use that. Its a much better twitter client all round.
Anyone interested in buying this App, might like to know that it is also available from the marketplace at a considerably cheaper price than direct from the developers website.
There is a free trial version, give it a go. It even comes with a HTC coloured theme so its all looks nice.

yeah it's ****ing pathetic. I thought it was going to be at least a few hundred apps there.... Been checking there once in a while since I bought the HD2, but still no new apps. Maybe we'll get 1 or two more apps next year if we are lucky woohooo!!
Few things in the world can be more useless than Twitter itself, let alone Twitter clients.
It does the Twitter thing for me but doesn't make coffee, doesn't deliver or send any significant information anywhere and doesn't wake me up in the morning. So yes, it's predictably useless.
Another good Twitter client is PockeTwit: http://code.google.com/p/pocketwit/
i just want to start off by saying that "Bloo" is one of the best app for facebook out there. the developer had decide to either let bloo die or make it open source.
please respect hes work and show support if you want "bloo" to survive.
visit hes website "fbandroid.wordpress.com" or on the market. and let him know how you feel.
By the way he has release a "Preview" of the new Bloo 1.5 With Facebook Chat. (REMEMBER IS NOT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE) everything seems to be working fine for me. but there should be some bugs.
****The only way to download this app is either by downloading "ASTRO" on the market. and download it straight from your SD Card****
**BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE NEW VERSION, PLEASE UN-INSTALL WHATEVER BLOO VERSION FROM YOUR PHONE FIRST**
This app looks freaking awesome so far. Haven't had a chance to try out facebook chat yet, but will soon...
Does Bloo allow me to accept friend requests? I always hated the fact that I couldnt do this on the stock FB app.
no it doesnt allowed to received friend request. due to "FACEBOOK" policies to third party apps. the only way to activate for you to received friend request on your mobile phone is by the "official android facebook app".
Bloo is one of the best facebook app hands down.
SHOW SUPPORT TO THE DEVELOPER
"fbandroid.wordpress.com"
TO KEEP BLOO ALIVE OR ELSE THE DEV WILL NO LONGER WORK ON THIS APP.
Let it die! Along with Facebook!
I would like the chat even better if I could receive my replys

i fully agree but i need the chat to work lol i still cant get my responses from chat
The chat seems to be working fine for me. Except sometimes if I leave the chat, get a response in the notification bar, and click it, the response isn't there. I have to back out of the chat to the "friends online" list and go back into the chat of that one person.
Kinda annoying, but otherwise the best facebook app Ive used yet.
This is not good!
Wow, who says this is better than Facebook for Android app??? This app is terrible, everything I try to do needs approval first. Then after I got it all setup its slow, you scroll down past the feeds and wait while it downloads more, scroll down, and wait.....very annoying. I gave it a try but I would rather use the Facebook for Android app, its much improved.
I like the effort though but I say let it Die!

From a developers stand point - these issues you have are Facebook API related. If Facebook would open up their API or have an "App Approval" process then it would be a lot better.
I have to say even the Facebook app blows big monkey test....well you get the point.
I guess FB didn't get the Memo that Android has now out sold iPhone and all last year was expected to do so. Maybe they should have balanced the development budget a little more in favor of Android....who ever made that business decision is probably fired now, maybe them and the guy from apple who lost the 4g can go into an Epic Fail business together.
Along these lines I just read on engadget that Erick Tseng - THE Android guy at Google - just quit over at the big G to go to work for FaceBOOK.
I see an amazing Android app in our future. I'm stooked on pure speculations here!

Um, you can set how many posts to load in the feed. It just auto loads when you get to the bottom no matter what. Facebook app doesn't even do that. All those permissions are one time things. Oh, and you want to look at a notification you received with the official facebook app? Looks like your redirecting to the browser! Might as well just use the touch site.. Bloo does EVERYTHING IN APP! Including notifications for wall posts, and other responses which the facebook app does not do. This app is not as pretty as the facebook app I will say, but def trumps it in usability
Bloo seems to be only good for telling me when there is notifications, other than that it's the stock app or mobile page for the best results. (or just viewing the full page in the browser)

thanks.... i'll try it out
the official beta for this launches today.
http://mashable.com/2010/08/12/tweetdeck-for-android/
I'm on the current pre-beta and there are a lot of things missing that will hopefully be included in the proper beta release. Little things like no settings menu.
FroYo, xda, beer, repeat.
Official beta is out now. It looks good but is very very buggy. Foursquare gives FC , cant add columns, no notifications...

Have it loaded on my Vibrant using FB & Twitter only. Very stable for me and I'm really diggin it so far.
Loaded Tweetdeck yesterday I was very disappointed compared to the iPhone version. Why is it missing so many features, sad Im still waiting for a Twitter cliet as good as Twittelator Pro for Android. The closest I have found is Touiteur, I like Hootsuite but like Seesmic there is no @ ID address support.

Which features are missing? Must say that I'm only familiar with the desktop client, not the Iphone client.
I have tried the Tweetdeck for android as well and I must say I like the look and feel of the app. Sometimes the app crashes when changing views, but hey... it's still beta so I can live with that. What I am missing is a settings menu. ATM there is no way to set the update interval, which is a big mis imho...
Looking forward to see the end result of the app.
I'm liking the Tweetdeck for Android beta and it looks like they are pushing fixes and updates out really quickly. Hopefully this will be fully featured and out of beta soon.
beta 2 is out. check their tweeter
Beta 3 is now available, you can now customize the refresh intervals (individually for each column, too!).

Edit: Full changelog: http://support.tweetdeck.com/entries/240663-new-android-tweetdeck-beta-v0-9-3-available
installed this after Paul Obrien tweeted about it... I'm really impressed and whilst it's a bit lite on features I have a feeling they will iterate quickly. I use the OSX desktop client so am figuring it will include a lot of the features from that before long, but with a mobile slant of course...
Okay, so as I understand it, tweetdeck should combine Twitter, Facebook, Buzz, whatever.... into the "Home" column, right?
It seemed to last night, but since then it's seen 2 tweets and zero facebook posts, even refreshed it a few times.
I know it's beta, but not sure why it seemed to work last night but not today.

Later today, when I tried to fix it, I pressed in the account screen on my facebook account. Somehow it "locked" i think, because i couldn't press it afterwards anymore.

I poked at that too and all it did was pop up a similar window to the first time it authenticated, but immediately went away.. No updates.
I think I'll uninstall it for now, maybe look again later. Overall I like the idea, but if it won't work, it's useless. Someone replied to my tweet about it not updating Facebook with "Restart your phone". Wut? Uninstall is my answer.
Has the battery drainage been solved by adding the update interval setting? Couldn't see anything specific in the changelog for 0.9.3.
I've been an Android user for a few months now and I love it so far. The only complaint I have is that there is no good Facebook app (in my opinion), or can someone recommend one? What I don't like about the official app is that it doesn't look that good (not ugly, but not pretty either), there's no instant push notifications and it seems a bit slow to load (I find it faster to just use the website in Dolphin HD browser) So then my question is... Can't someone develop a good app, one with the above features missing from the official app? I know nothing about Android app development so please tell me why or why not... If there's someone out there with the skills to create an app like that, but maybe you don't have time to develop a user interface or something... I'm more than willing to create a user interface that you can use... Anyway, just a thought
Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.....Dude I use just facebook for android.....It's just a nice basic requirement but it eats a lot of my net(that my only compaint) Otherwise it's gud.....If ur willing to try out sum more....There is tweetdeck, Social jogger 2,and many more which u can find over here
Hope I helped u ,If so hit thanks
I get what you're saying, but don't you think it could be better. I don't have a big issue with the interface, but the app is lacking some features (like instant push) And Facebook isn't exactly quick with updates. If there's an app developed by a community like XDA, it should be much faster, shouldn't it? I looked at Friendcaster, Seesmic and Tweetdeck and none of those have exactly what I'm looking for. Some lack chat, push notifications etc. Anyway, like I said, was just a thought... would be nice to have a good, all-in-one solution for Facebook
You could have a look at FriendCaster. It used to be called Flow before Handcent bought it and changed it's name to match TweetCaster, their twitter app.
I like the the facebook, but I agree it would be nice if there were something better.
the facebook app has been my complaint since I started using Android...

Friendcaster Pro here too which consumes less data as compared to official facebook apps.
FriendCaster seems like a good alternative to the official app, but it's still missing features like Instant push notifications and chat. And personally I prefer the official app's interface over friendcasters', though functionality comes first for me. I know you can configure friendcaster to use GMail for facebook notifications, but unfortunately gmail is giving me problems. The periodic polling option isn't very attractive either, draining the battery and such. I probably should add that I used the free version (ADS )
Please don't ask for invites here as it will only get the thread closed, and other threads already exist for invites.
So what do people think of the app? For a beta product it seems really good (from my limited use). I think a tablet version would be nice but I understand it's in beta
One drawback I think is that Huddle doesn't integrate with Google Talk? Seems a bit weird to me as G+ is integrated with GTalk on the website as it is in Gmail. Hopefully it will change with a future update. Other than that the app looks good. Glad to see there's already been a minor update too
I want to see Hangouts implemented. Otherwise, very solid app. Loving + lol
Loving the G+ app. Definitely well done, seems very clean and fluid.
Loving the Huddle feature, I just wish there was a way to remove users from chats. But that's a minor detail.
I really like it so far, although I'd like the privacy controls to be more transparent and built into the app itself.

Unfortunately it will probably be a while seeing as Google Talk still doesn't support many handsets for video chat and Hangouts use the same technology
you can moderate comments from the app, Facebook struggles to even show the damned comments. I cant wait till Google plus gets a bespoke tablet app.
It's inexcusable for this app to not have a layout for tablets.

How is it inexcusable? Google+ isn't even in open beta yet..
The G+ has been known for a loooong time, and 3.0 has been in the works for probably just as long. Hell, they've submitted an iOS app already.
I used to defend the lack of HC apps, but there's onlyg about 5 apps from Google that actually have tablet support, every other google app lacks it. They should be leading by example. We're 6 months into the lifecycle, Google is taking the "Do as I say, not as I do" approach to HC.
I think all the devs are holding off on making tablet specific apps because of Ice Cream Sandwich coming soon. I have a feeling it will make all the other apps play nice with tablets as well as phones.
As for the GOOGLE+ app, I like it and they have left room for improvement so there is sure to be more to come. Within 6 months, this thing is going to put Facebook to shame unless they act fast. They are both on the same track, just starting at different ends. Going to be interesting to watch the next few months.
It still has some glitches (e.g. I couldn't find a way how to add a new person to my circles that is not in my contacts yet), but works well...and is way better than official FB app.

Just remove the user from the circle you used to start the huddle. Won't that subsequently remove them from the chat?
Not that I've seen. I've since removed someone from a Circle that was in an initial Huddle chat and they still remain 'Invited'.
That's because a Huddle isn't a chat room with heirarchy. It's a meet up where everyone is equal. It's...a huddle.
Still waiting for Google Profiles to be supported in Google Apps.
I know it's not the app but god the website is terrible on a tablet.. tis really annoying
The app doesn't work for me. I have an account, which I use in Firefox for Windows just fine, but the app asks me which account to connect with. I pick one, then it says "connecting" for a moment, then says I need an invitation. My only options are to close it or get more info.
Edit: sorry I'm currently using it on a Droid X. I discovered this thread from Google search, didn't realize it was the Transformer section.
Force close when I try huddle.
It seems very good or a beta version, but still needs many improvments to beat FB...
