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

i just downloaded th lite version but i cant seem to get te notifications to work on mytouch,

Runkeeper is available now on Android

hi guys,
Runkeeper is out on android now but it looks like they screwed around with the settings of the app market because I can't find it there with my HTC desire. It's free so I though that someone could please upload the apk somewhere and post it here! thanks guys.

What's runkeeper?

Keeps track of speed, milage, etc, for jogging, hiking walking. Links to maps and can track your progress. Can upload but I dont use that function and no little about it. A best of its kind app IMO and was and is very popular on iphone. I just came here to post that it was available for android and saw this thread. I already downloaded and works great. Like most similar apps it uses lots of battery which is the only downside I am aware of.

@freaksey
I wanted to upload it for you, but it is protected app hence it is automatically odexed when installing. Anyone know some way to dump it, I'm too lazy to deodex it ;-)

I am also very interested in this app and also cannot find it on my HTC Hero.
Thanks in advance for the one that can dump the app from the market and upload it here.
Looking forward to it!

looks like Google doesn't like the HTC desire.

Here's another Android owner who wants to but cannot find (let alone install) Runkeeper....
Hope it'll be sorted out soon

I tried to deodex it, but had some problems. You must wait for JF:
http://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=26

i hope someone soon figures out how to root the phone so we can get market enabler....
also, if you guys figure out how to get us runkeeper it would be greatly appreciated....
it doesnt show up with my Desire either

..........

Thnx so much! Just installed it. Now let's see if and how it works.
Thnx again

I get the message (in dutch, translated to english):
"Application did not install"
"Runkeeper cannot be installed on this phone"
I am running android 1.5 on HTC Hero

AArgh thanks for the message though!
I just removed my 2.1 ROM for the much more stable 1.5 [MoDaCo Custom ROM 3.2]
I'll try to use SportyPal tonight ...
Good luck, Legends ;-)

I read some place that the Runkeeper needs to work only on 2.0 or 2.1

Then you read wrong. As I wrote above, it requires 1.6 .

you rock brut.all!!!
thanks man, i appreciate it!!!

I normally use buddyrunner, but I tried this out tonight, it's quite good. Seems to be more responsive and accurate than buddyrunner, but not as many options, for instance no customizable audio alerts.

Might try it out soon.
What I don't like about it is the Runkeeper webpage.. I find it "too heavy" for mobile usage: if I click on a route link on my phone, it takes ages for the browser to render over 3G.

interactive backgrounds

hey guys,
is there any way to get interactive backgrounds on hd2, like on nexus one or desire? would be really nice
or is it possible to have the nexus one background on hd2, maybe without "interactive"?
thanks in advance,
shifty512

is not interactive/animated but I think this is what you want.
You can use it as a wallpaper.!

yeah thats it
but isnt it possible to have it animated or even interactive?

Hello
I think we have to wait for TouchXperience!

would be awesome

Nope. Currently, there is no app (of which I know, at least) which does what you are asking for. As someone has already stated, we`ll just have to wait for TX...

it looks like a pretty nice interface from the video on the website, I'm gonna contact the guy so I can donate for it and get to do some beta testing on it. It says only contributors and donators might get their hands on the beta testing right now, so well see.

Live wallpapers will really make a nice visual attraction on our beloved HD2`s!

Hi instaled this version, but its not stable, you can add in today screen, just run like a program in start menu, but the experiance its good, i never see one aplication like that, underful touch, but sometimes (most the time) crash...

wel i said it is still in a beta fase

I'm lost, how do you get this to work. I install the cab and the key. I saw it for a moment in the Touch X Xperince \ Sample folder, now when I go back to it, nothing happens?!
How do uninstall this? It's still on my apps list and start menu

I'm sorry but it's a pity someone posted TX. Schaps the dev of TX asked every tester to do not release his work. Don't be surprised if devs stop their hard work. So please remove the links, it's like WAREZ because not agreed by the author. And then what you got ? Complainers about "how does it work ?". Exactly the issue the private beta test avoid...

Ok.
Can you tell me how to remove it please?
EDIT: NVM, deleted it!

Mod Warning
Schaps does not have anyof his TouchXperience work published here on XDA and does not wish to do so. Posting beta's on here without his express permission is effectively pushing warez. Please do not post these items here.

The phone, at least the T-Mobile version, comes with some animated wallpapers. Is there anyway to put something in the folder wherever they're stored and use that?
I'm not really sure what file type they are though either.

[REQUEST] [APP] Looking for "TV Forecast" like app

I've been looking for a LONG time for an android app like this. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one.
This is a pic from the iphone app which basically shows when the next new show airs on only specific shows you enter in the app.. nothing else is there like on the TV guide app where you browse channel/time..
Thanks for all your help.

I'm looking for something smiliar... Would be awesome if someone could create an app that works a bit like http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/
Of course I could always load up the website, but would be better to have it as an app. If someone has the time and skills to do a proper app with a good UI I'd definately donate a beer or two.

tvguide.com has an app on the marketplace. There's also tvlisting from jersey productions.

I tried those apps and they arent really what I'm looking for, for anyone who has had an iphone and used "Tv forecast" you will know what I mean..
Instead of sifting through channels 1-900ish trying to find the right show you input it into the program and it comes back with the next NEW showing.. nothing more, no bloating of other random channels you dont care about.
I'm just looking for a similar android app, that would make my iphone -> n1 transition really complete!

the tvguide.com one allows you to put in favorites and it shows you the next showings.
Shoot an email to the dev of TV Forecast, maybe they'll port it.

yup, only basic functionality and a few bugs (beta). But still very useful

Great suggestion, missing some features from tv forecast but the best I've seen yet.

Okay, this is bad a**! I always forget when shows I like will be on. Thanks for the heads up on it.

try TV Show Favs from the market, there is a free ad supported version with 14day premium trial inside.
this app in my experience blows tv forecast out of the water, and is so good i opted to pay for the premium version. even though all the features you want and need are free!

Check this App out. Works perfekt for me. SeriesGuide:

Remote Control Your Phone from Your PC

Does anyone know if there is any software out there
that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.
There is a great software package out there made by
http://www.soti.net/
but they do not have software available for Android.
This would be for use with the new evo
Any ideas?
Thansk

Picme in market.
You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app
I'm currently working on data access and full phone control. It's kinda hard to get everything working together.

Have you heard of this product?
http://airwatchstore.com/
I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.
Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?
Thanks
*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.

I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.
