Twitter Apps with tile/notifications - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you know how many twitter apps have live tiles working form DM/mentions currently working?
I've installed birdsong pro, but notifications and live tile are not working. Motweets live tile still not working. The only one that is working is Beez but it only supports toast notifications, not live tiles.
Do you have the same problem, or I am the only one ?

Birdsong worked very well in beta 1.3 and in the final release 1.3. Beta 1.4 didn't work for me, but the final release on the other hand does. At least most of the time. But I can assure you, the guys are working on it.

I hope so, because until now it's the only app I've paid...

Beezz works with live tile. It gives you your unread tweet count up to 30. It stops working from time to time but you just need to logout and log back in... or if that doesn't work, registry edit the EndPoints and ManagedEndpoints (see WP7 Dev and Hacking forum).

beez works fine, the problem is that the tile doesn't update DM & mentions..

What's different between the Birdsong live tile and the beez one? When birdsong is working of course.
Edit: I guess I'll know soon enough. I just bought birdsong. I'll just wait for the new version to work to see the live tile.

birdsong : DM + mentions --> tile; DM + mentions --> toast [both not working for me ]
beez : DM + mentions --> toast ; timeline --> tile [working most of the time]

Unread Tweets on Live Tile
Are there any other Twitter Apps that shows (like Beezz does) the number of unread tweets on its Live Tile?
I really like Beezz. The Design and Functions are great but whatever I do, neither logging off and in again nor deleting the registry keys make the Live Tile working for me.
So is there an alternative?

try uninstalling the app. I think there's no aterh app like beez around with unread tweets counter

Birdsong push notifications should now be working. There was an issue on the server that was re-architected over the weekend.
What issue are you seeing? If you cannot save your settings and get and error like this: RedBadger.Birdsong.Application.Services.Push.HttpNotificationChannelException
Error whilst opening HttpNotificationChannel
it is a WP7 OS bug. This is out of any developers control. Once a channel is corrupted you cannot create a new one which Birdsong needs to do in order to save the push settings. We believe the only workaround (until Microsoft issue a fix) is to do a factory reset which is not a very nice workaround at all.
If you are able to save the push settings, push should work for you.
Thanks

Now I can save my settings but the tile doesn't update... yesterday the tile updated almost in real time...

There is of course the lovely rowi client too, although Live Tile notifs are also on the shaky side. Apparently there is a bug in WP7 that causes a stop in notifs, was hoping this could be fixed in a little update, but more than likely will be the long wait for Mango

I cant access Direct Messages and Mentions anymore. It was the only client with count up the total count of tweets in the Live Tile. The fastest Client was Rowi. I took only 5s to load the complete timeline with GPRS. Great! moTweets has an outstanding feature, it loads a picture directly in the client and can save this to the device. No other Client does this. I love this feature. But he GUI is horrible. Sorry folks, but i dont like the GUI and ist far from working smooth (scrolling, swiping etc.) In most of the clients i can see, if the tweet is a new, unread one. Only in Birdsong and the official Client i couldnt find this feature. Rowi enterst he client where i have leaved it, great to find last tweet.
If i made a error in my test, feel free to correct me. Remember that there could be updates fort he app, where the one or other feature will be added to a client.

wow this is pretty amazing. the new colors are awesome! definitely would donate!
suggestions; alternate colored notification bar icon colors (ie the ones found in Handcent), and later, i know its still only beta, email and gmail support if that would even be a possibility.
Besides those minor aesthetic opinions, it works like it says. Switch of notifications in chompsms, handcent or whatever you have including the stock app, set up the preferences in this one and it works brilliantly!
thanks for your hard work!
Works so far.
Im still unclear on the default icon in notification bar. Is it mandatory for it to appear there ?
Reason being I have handcent setup with different icons/sounds for individuals.
When a text comes in the trackball works fine but I get both the default messaging app Icon in notification bar AND handcent.
I tried turning off the default messaging but it pops up with trackball.
This is a great little app. Thanks. Do you have plans to enable it for email alerts as well?

Thanks for your kind comments.
I'm looking to implement this at a lower level than app, so we can get different notifications. Currently the system can override the trackball.
I'm open to icon/image donations (via pm please to keep the thread tidy) I'll give you credit if used.

Id much much prefer to get this working on Email /VM/Missed calls etc than worrying about aesthetics at this point.
Hace you contacted any of the rom guys to see if it can be dug into a deeper level and work in a fuller capacity ?
+1 on that- to be able to apply this across the whole rom would be fantastic.
this is awesome- i think it needs the ability to not have the icon show in status bar though due to some people (me being one) who use handcent personalised notifications.
now, where is your donate button?

I'm looking into that. The problem is the current codebase only has a method flashing the trackball white. We need to hook right into the core notification system.

I can add an option but i think you will end up with a situation where the trackball does not stop flashing. Because its my notification, when it get selected/acknowledged my Cancel "callback" method is actioned.

Hands down one of my favorite apps now. Thanks for making this. Its funny how the simple things are some of the best (colored blinking lights) lol.
the beta version is not working for me. the alpha version of trackball notification worked alright (with very few minor bugs). i turned off the notifications on messaging and popup sms and i get one white flash and nothing else. i turned off popup sms entirely and still got the same issue. im currently running cyanogen's beta4 if that matters.

But, besides that completely, amazing job! I was waiting for someone to do this, and you did it!!! . I will be rooting very soon, I cant be missing these 'important fixes'.
Thanks again (will donate down the road definitely)!
Are you going to implement a way to flash different colors for different contacts SMSing you? If you do this i will definitely buy you a beer!
When I recieve texts now, my notification bar shows two of the smilie face text notifications and when i pull the bar down it shows the same texts twice. Only started after I installed this.

[APP] SMS Notifier

Download (incl. advertising screen displayed once per 3 days):
http://www.mapeapps.com/downloads/SMSNotifier.apk
Paid plugin (removes advertising screen displayed once per 3 days):
http://www.mapeapps.com
Hints / Limitations:
* HTC Desire with stock ROM - how to fix LED blinking (let us know if it works for other phones with similar problem)
- On stock ROM, LED blinking will stop in about 5 mins after text message arrives. To workaround that we have added refresh during reminders. Simply, set reminders to a period of 5 mins to keep the led on. Btw, you can have reminders 'on' without need to set further Sound, Vibration, Turn on Display.
* LED colors / LED blink rate
- Your phone / rom needs to support that in a way it's accessible via standard Android API (android.app.Notification), otherwise the options won't work for you.
- We know that other programs may use some sort of workarounds and other tricks, but currently we don't have any plans to implement that.
* On-screen message visible when the phone is locked (in a sleep mode).
- Currently, not possible. To introduce that, it would mean to play with the Keyguard functionality in Android API which we are not sure we wanna do. Maybe in the future ... on TODO list.
- You could maybe try some other 3rd party apps which implements their own lock screen. Let us know here if you find something which works together with SMS Notifier.
From v1.5:
*NEW* The most wanted functions are here - Quick reply, Delete, Mark as read right from interactive popup
*NEW* If you don't like Ads or the Thank You screen or just wish to support us, please, consider buying SMS Notifier PREMIUM from our website

*NEW* added support for Samsung Galaxy Tab

From v1.3:
*NEW* privacy level now affects also on-screen preview and notification text in pulldown menu
*NEW* option to use different notification sound for reminders
*NEW* option to keep LED turned on (no blinking) - This needs to be supported by your phone HW / SW (ROM) in order to work
*NEW* option to enable/disable sound and vibration notifications during call

From v1.2:
*FIX* resolving contacts issue on Android 2.0+

*NEW* customizable position of on-screen preview
*NEW* added default Android notification icon

Nice little app that I would theme immediatelly !
Would be nice to have it in Android style..why using different icons? So it fits better..and missing the smilies
For example, I use only froyos default sms app and would like to use kind of a pop up plugin that fits and does not look like a different sms app.
greets
Edit: just did a quick edit...think I will keep this app now, looks like buid in..
I am curios how you gonna continue with this app..looking forward!!!
Hi rori,
Glad you like it.
I think we can add that default icon in the next update - need to double check the licensing first.
We have some plans for usability improvements and also some more eye-candy for the future releases.
Looking forward to more theming screenshots
Have a nice weekend.
And why not adding a text box that it allows us to make a reply ? Just like ChompSMS or Handcent or SMSPopup!
So far it is working great on my Samsung Moment. Thank you.
@aladin6:
There are two ways how to process an incoming message:
1) Let user just read a message (even if notification bar is not visible) with no interruption of whatever doing (watching a movie, playing a game,...).
This is implemented in SMS Notifier. We have missed this feature a lot in other sms applications and this is also one of the reasons why we have developed our own.
2) Interrupt running activity and force user to do some action ("popup").
This is considered for implementantion in the future, but it is not top priority at this moment.

I keep it on my phone...seriously hope you can make it froyo look.
Dont waste your time on your own UI....you just make a great app that fits to default and we have a feeling it is not a third party app, that´s all.
Dekuji moc, pozdrav!
Version 1.1 hits the market.
*FIX* audio issues (was probably bugged only on Droid and Droid X)
*NEW* option to customize background color (incl. transparency of on-screen preview)
*NEW* customizable position of on-screen preview

Also adding some hints to main post.

Regarding that icon in on-screen preview... wait for the next update where we will rework that part quite significantly. We believe you will like it
On another note, any Droid / X / 2 users? We're getting some strange reports regarding notification LED functionality. Could anybody with that phone(s) and using SMS Notifier describe us if it works for him as expected or what are the problems?
Basically, we are using native Android API for LED functionality and for example on HTC Desire we don't see any issues.
Superb app!! I am not sure if its a bug with HTC Desire (been using rooted stock for some time) but choosing LED color is not working

Thanks for the note. Correct. At least on Desire we don't see how to make it through Android API. Heard something about you need rooted device and work with charging LED. It's just black magic.

No onscreen notification here, using:

When using the test function on the app itself the notification appears.
Just not when I turn the screen of and then get an sms..
Still, A great app

Please make this an option if you go this route - I really hate having all those buttons and whatnot all over the screen. I like the idea of just a simple popup - click on it it to reply. I would like to see something like "2 other unread messages" somewhere else (if it doesn't already do this... I just installed it.)
Love the app - it just replaced SMS Popup on my EVO.
Quick question: in the OP the pop-up takes up the whole bottom third of the screen. On mine it just takes up a bit of each corner (or a bit in the center of the screen.) How do I get it to take up the whole width of the screen?

[APP] Flip4Silence 2.0 - Silence notifications when your phone is flipped!

Flip4Silence 2.0 BETA
Silence notifications when your phone is flipped - battery friendly!​
Flip4Silence is back! It's just an BETA version but it already serves its purpose: Silence notifications when the phone lays upside down on the table! And the best thing about this, it doesn't eat up your battery (like other tools do)!
I just finished the BETA and I'm currently testing it. But as I think it could be useful to someone in this state I just made it public. Please be so kind and keep in mind that this is not the final and probably will not act as reliable as it should. I will do my best to fix any bugs which are found, so please report your problems back.
If you are a ROM chief or have a custom ROM installed:
I have planned to migrate this tool to a "one for all" tone silencer. Unfortunately this requires a patch (which is attached to this post) to allow the user to set the tones as the system defaults. The patch is also posted on the AOSP gerrit and may be accepted (don't know if they like the patch) and I will try to integrate it into CM9.
If you are a ROM chief and would like to integrate the patch and the (upcoming) tool feel free to contact me via pm.
If you are a user of a custom ROM feel free to encourage your ROM chief to integrate the patch.
Feel free to contact me if you have integrated the patch somewhere, especially if it's a ROM for the Galaxy Nexus or Nexus One as I would like to use it on my own phones
Attention:
If you had a previous version installed I'm very sorry to tell you that you have to REASSIGN every single ringtone you have selected with F4S Ultimate before again due to a internal incompatible change!
What it gives you:
Silence nearly every notification!
Is planned to be a full replacement for every ringtone picker (please tell me what you want from your ringtone picker)
It's nice to your battery as it's only active when something happens and not all the time.
More control over the sensitivity used (no more "low", "high", "normal", you are in charge now!).
MP3 ringtones are now supported! The UI is not really finished, it's at least planned to add the album covers to the list.
"Silence when user is present" - never get a notification sound again when you are playing with your device and don't need a audio notification.
What it can't do:
You can't use it to put silenced ringtones into the default settings. Please never ever put a silenced ringtone into your phone ringer or the default notification sound. It will just not work (and will never), trust me. However, you can put in a "unsilenced" ringtone (more later).
Currently the sensors will report strange results if you have vibration on while a ringtone is played. It lacks a good filtering, so it's not really usable currently.
How to use it?
It has currently no settings dialog at all, it is just a alternative to pick a ringtone. When you select somewhere a "Choose a ringtone now" button it will be an option which you can launch.
When you select your tones with the tool it will more or less look like the standard ringtone picker with some exceptions. On the bottom you will see a list with all ringtones you may pick from. When you select them, they will be played as a preview to you (just like the stock ringtone picker does). When you have found your ringtone just hit the tick button at the top bar and you are done. It will now silence this (and only this) notification when the phone lays on its display. When you want to discard your selection just hit the cross on the top, the back button of your phone or the home button, it's your choice.
The really interesting thing is the speaker icon at the top bar. It works the following way:
When you see the muted speaker (speaker with X) the ringtone will be silenced when you hit the tick button (sure, it will only be muted when the phone lays upside down). But sometimes you want a sound so be played everytime and not only when the phone lays with its back on the table. Then you can press the speaker at the top and it will switch over to a unmuted speaker. When you now hit the tick the selected tone will never be muted by the tool.
You can now start over and replace every notification sound with a one selected via this tool. Just pick a tone and hit the tick at the bar and you are done.
I'm currently using gingerbread and was able to replace the tones in the following applications:
Stock SMS/MMS
gTalk
Google+
Facebook
Flip4Silence
How does this sensitivity slider work?
It allows you to set the exact degree when Flip4Silence should recognize the phone as "lays on its screen". The range is from 0 (lays exactly on its screen) to 90 degree (stands on its bottom).
You can change the value with the slider or with the plus and minus button to a value which should fit your need (it lacks a testing mode, sorry :/).
The green part of the slice on the left is a visualization of the "snap area" where Flip4Silence will recognize the phone should be silent. You can transfer it to the real world when you put your phone with its bottom on the table which would be 90 degree. When you now tilt it slowly down to it's screen it would be 0. So you have actually moved it on 90 degrees of a circle which is what the image tried to tell you.
The settings are now this way because people reported that LOW and HIGH weren't enough to trigger it the way they wanted it. The dialog still lacks a "choose from presets" option but this will hopefully be added in the future.
As a hint here are the settings known from F4S 1.0 (which will suit the most people)
High: 20 degree
Normal: 25 degree
Low: 30 degree
So you say it's now save to use it to pick global ringtones?
Yes, in general it is. The picker maintains now a blacklist for Activities which aren't able to handle the special ringtones we return. This blacklist currently only has the stock settings blacklisted so it should work for most devices. But HTC/Motorola/Samsung may have changed ROMs in a way that they also changed the identifier for the SystemSettings. In this cases the blacklist will not work until I have added them
So as it's more or less save, here is the warning again:
Please note the fact that you should never ever use a "silenced" ringtone for the ringer or the default notification sound. The new BETA tries to prevent you from doing so (the little speaker on the top is not drawn) but it may fail! If you see a speaker in your Default Notification/Ringtone picker than please hit the "Report usage" button in Flip4Silence ultimate so I can add it to the blacklist.
What does this "Report usage" button do again?
As stated above it will send a report to me about the places where you have used Flip4Silence Ultimate to select a ringtone. Please only send the manual report if you have found out that your System Settings is not blocked from setting a silenced ringtone (as described above). Please also leave a short note here that you have send a report. Reports contain the same data as crashreports, so nothing is really special about them.
"Silence when user is present" does what?
Did it ever annoyed you to hear notifications when you got your device in your hand? Did you ever thought "Damn, shut up! I have seen the notification, no need to play a sound...".
If yes, then I have a solution for you: "Silence when user is present" does simply what is says, it blocks the notification sound when you are currently fiddling with your device and don't need another acoustic notification about a new message or anything else.
Of course it only works with sound which were set with this app and currently the switch is on a global base (will likely change in an upcoming version).
Okay, sounds good so far, where can I get it?
I will attach the newest version and the previous one to this post whenever an update occures. You can also download it on the Android Market
Why is this nifty app not translated into [INSERT LANGUAGE HERE]?
I will contribute at least a German translation once the strings in the program have settled down (one or two releases before the first stable will be released). If your favorite language is missing and you are willing to translate it by yourself please contact me and I will hand the localization files when the app has reached the pre stable state.
The icons used are nice, but the application icon is damn ugly dude!
Yea, I know. I had to make some of my own when I developed Flip4Silence so the quality is far from good. While I like the overall theme (the phone and the sleep indication) it's not really pretty as I'm more the coding guy than a designer. If you are a designer or know someone who would like to make some icons for this app it would be awesome if you would contact me. I can't provide any money for this as it's only a fun project but it would be worth a credits entry and publicity (it depends, but I expect a broad usage around the globe, just like the original Flip4Silence ).
Uh, who has done this cute icons you are using?
The icons used in the main view of the ringtone picker are from AndroidIcons.com. Thanks guys for this great set of free icons!

BETA3: it looks like that at least the Android 1.6 emulator has problems displaying the pick list columns correctly.
Do U think it is possible to also disable vibration on incomming calls? It was working on Gingerbread but not longer on ICS (at least for me)

Flip4Silence classic doesn't work correctly on ICS? Didn't knew that, sure I will try to fix this in this rewrite (the old app will not receive any update, everything will be reimplemented).
I will give it a try when I move the old code to the new codebase but I can't promise anything as I don't know whats broken and so don't know how it may be fixed.
But thanks for the report =)
OMG!
Just installed older version from market. I know why it wasn't working..."Keep vibrating" was still enabled.
Sorry...my fault.

I just release BETA3. As nobody reads the main post again, please note the following:
You generally don't have to take special care about the System Settings default sound picker as it's now blacklisted as it not supports F4S Ultimate. Consult the main post for more info about this. But If the little speaker at the top is shown for you in the default settings please hit the "Report usage" button and send me some info about your phone (again, more info is hidden in the main post ).
If you had a previous version installed I'm very sorry to tell you that you have to REASSIGN every single ringtone you have selected with F4S Ultimate before again due to a internal incompatible change!
Also I would like to say "Thank you!" to everybody who is currently testing/using this! I have not thought that so many people would try it! Thank you very much!

Why the BETA sign? What's not stable yet? And when do you plan to release a non-beta version?

It has the beta sign because it's rather untested and it's a very fragile kind of app as it operates at the border (or some steps beyond) of the android system.
I does things which were never intended by the developers, also I'm developing this thing alone. The beta sign will be removed when it's proven that it operates on virtually any phone from android 1.6 to 4.0 and includes all the features the original Flip4Silence has.
Currently everything is working as intended besides a bug I have just found (which is documented in the second post). A "stable" (I only release software which is at least usable for me) without the beta sign will come when I have done all the work. I can't tell you a date as this is not my job but I will do my best to release as often as I can.
BETA4 is out now!
BETA4 is out now!
It introduces a new feature: "Silence when user is present", please take a look at the first and second post for the changes in detail.
Besides that I had to wipe the caller database once again as the format changed again, so you have to reassign anything again (should be the last time, the format should be stable now...).
A sidenote:
I have not received any crash so far and it seems to work pretty good so I consider it now "stable enough for everyday use".
Thanks for this app, sounds good downloading now....
How Do I start the app?

It's a ringtonepicker replacement, to use the app you have to reassign the notification tones of the apps you want to be silenced on a flip. Your system will present you a list of apps which are suitable for ringtone picking, just select Flip4Silence there.
"Silence when user is present" - never get a notification sound again when you are playing with your device and don't need a audio notification.
Man I have been looking for this feature since day 1 of owning a Android Phone! I'll help you test the app!
Edit: I goto settings>Sound>Ringtone phone> choose flip4silence>Local Media
Crashes every time

Once again, lesson learned: never ever say "it's working good, quiet good" as it will brake then =)
It's a problem in (at least) the artist list, I will fix it soon. Stay tuned for an update and thanks for testing =)
Crappy video I made showing how I made it crash: http://youtu.be/R_4v-AKSjM4 (done in about half an hour)
I also provided a logcat with warnings, errors and fatal exceptions. Don't worry about the rmt_storage lines though, that has something to do with the beta ROM I'm using.

Now that's cool, I have never seen a bug report video before . It should be easy to fix this, but I have one question:
How many MP3s do you have on your device (I don't need an exact number, just a rough estimation, something like "60 albums" or something like that)?
13 normal albums, 1 album of Super Smash Bros (which has about 200+ songs ) and one "album" I made myself for my ringtones.

review from wife of this app loves the menstrual integration.Would like to see events as a real time at a glance view instead of just a dot.Ability to merge multiple events as this show the same birthday 4 times on one day.Too similar to all other calendar apps for now but a great start!
Just have to say...WOW!
My only issue is that I can't seem to locate my city and when I type it in search...nothing comes up

Alright so I am running Samsung Galaxy S4, 4.3 Firmware.
The location, for me, simply does not work. I tried berkeley, san leandro, oakland, there is simply no search result no matter what I put in. Also when I press on location, it simply fails....I think it may be an issue with the app but I am not sure, why my device and firmware is listed above. But the weather by it self does work as I choose a random city listed (by the app) and it does work.
Also, is it possible to remove the icon from the status bar and keep the app with in the notification drawer? I have looked in the setting, but cannot locate this...it will be really great if you can! I keep mistaking it for my battery read lol.
If the cycle calender (blush face here lmao) is it possible to make it known what the color coding is? I am 100% sure of what one of them is, 60% sure of the other...and no idea what is the last one. I have look in the app for the clarity but no luck....which I want to add THANK YOU for adding that in there, that is one less app I will have to deal with .
I think giving the option to order the different calenders will be nice. If this is already possible please guide me...as I can't seem to figure it out. It gives option to delete but I do not want to test that as I do not want to loose the cycle calender.
Other than those minor issues, i still love it and will use it regardless. But if developers can take user feedback to account, even better and will recommend out. Got two of my lady friends to download already And one of my co-workers.
Any widget from this app?
Since I dont plan on having a period any time soon, is it possible to switch off that feature?
I really liked this app.
Here's my review:
http://droidhorizon.com/zdcal-review/
Loved this app as soon as I loaded it will probably never go back to stock calendar, option to hide from status bar was hard to find but just click the 3 line button in top left corner then hit settings and you get all different settings
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
An option to disable festivals entirely would be great. Other then that, i love the app.
Celsius/Fahrenheit
Any way to add a setting to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit for the weather? Us Americans don't know temps in C.

Is there another lockscreen-replacement similar to iOS-lockscreen (like CMLocker)?

Hello,
I'd like to get the iOS lockscreen notifications on my S7 edge and I tried multiple lockscreens.
However CMLocker was the best so far but I don't really like Cheetah Mobile.
Is there a iOS-like lockscreen with the following features?
- notifications like iOS (e.g. show every Whatsapp-message as own notification without having to expand it to read the message)
- PIN-Security
- Fingerprint-Support OR Bypass lock if trusted device (in my case Huawei-Watch) is connected to the device
Already tried many apps and all of them had their problems:
- XZ live locker (overwrites notifications if you receive multiple ones and doesn't have one of the bypass-features)
- ZUI Locker-Elegant (no bypass-features for PIN)
- Hi Locker (don't know the reason anymore)
- Next Lockscreen (would be perfect but also overwrites the old message if you get multiple messages from the same person on Whatsapp)
- Echo Lock-Screen (don't know the reason anymore)
- SlideLock Locker (would be perfect, but also no security bypass like fingerprint or trusted device)
- NiLS Lock Screen Notifications (it's no lockscreen replacement, but the notifications re-appear after removing them)
Thanks in advance!

Nestade
Try goodlock from the galaxy store, it expands messages on swipe down, it's heaps customisable, and allows NC bluring similar to apples..
Additionally it also fixes a few security flaws.
And Lastly uses less battery!! Woohoo
If i could post photos, i would, but you can set custom widgets as clocks, and change the colour of the entire NC centre, it's the best.

Sorry to hear that OP - there maybe a shorter character restriction for some non native applications that im not too sure about.
