It is fantastic.
Wouldn't consider this as warez as its not a paid app, just the (soon to be) public beta.
Enjoy!

I would personally wait for the public beta as that's going to happen in a few days.

Yup on the internet are "old" version.
I prefer to wait for the official beta launch. Probably even tomorrow...

I accidentally deleted a column, how do I re-add it? D:

Weird, I can't get it to work.. get java error..
Edited: Its working :O!

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.
Nope, by far not just me.. http://support.tweetdeck.com/entries/237561-facebook-syncing-stopped

I had it earlier this afternoon too...
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.
Since then it updates & refresh again. Maybe that works?

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.

Viewsonic G tablet (new UI dropped today)

FYI anyone that is running the stock UI on there G tablet viewsonic just dropped there new UI

Just got the notification that the update is available, and am downloading it! Yeah! Excited as all get out over this! Anything would be better than the previous version. Christmas came early.

Post some pics or videos..

Got it. Installed it. Works
Biggest noticeable change is of course that you can switch to a more stock looking UI by pressing 'Classic Home' in the Tn'T App Drawer and from then on it will stay there unless you go back to the layered one.
It's the 5 screens by default and I've found no way to add any to that. The options/settings haven't seemed to change any.
Second big change is that you can use Live Wallpapers now (yay!). I haven't noticed an obvious speed boost in the Tn'T UI we're used to - but the Android-like UI is on par with Launcher Pro. Suffice it to say, Fast/Quick and very responsive. I MAY remove Launcher Pro now since this is doing what I want it to do so far - though the customizable launch buttons are preferable.
These are just the obvious differences. I'm sure there's more going on under the hood that the devs will pick up on quickly.
This is def. now usable out of the box - as long as the customer knows that can switch to the Android-like UI by hitting Classic Home.

got it and...
I got the update. Took two tries to install. On reboot it asked if I wanted launcherpro or thrtzpntap as home. Added background image. The releasenote said it included angrybirds but I had that installed. Didn't change the calibration fix that I applied so still responsive. Market is gone so I need to reinstall. Settings still doesn't give access to all of the settings you get on android. Haven't checked if you can move apps to SD.
They did qsome stuff but not enough if you want android.
I entered this from the tzblet

I loaded the 3389 that came out today (12/23) and gave it a test drive around the block. I like the "classic" launcher. I got a FC on the weather app even though I wiped cache and user data prior to loading the update. It does replace recovery, so if you have Clockworkmod, be aware it unloads that. Unlike 3316, this version does not install angrybirds. The main concerns I would have if I were stuck using this would be the inability for the calendar to sync with my Google calendar. I am headed back to TNT Lite now.

the stock calendar program does sync with google calendar...
the stock contacts program does not sync with google contacts (import only)...

if someone could pop a little screenshot on here, it'd be awesome. i'm on VEGAn beta4 and i'm not exactly in the mood to have to reinstall all of my stuff unless it's truly worth it. They need to fix the weather app so it can go outside the US though.... Canadian user here, and i can't even get Montreal, where a location based software such as that one should be fairly easy to set-up as universal, i'd think...

I would say stay with that unless you're having issues. This update makes it usable but I wouldn't say it necessarily improves the speed over what I've seen from VegaN and TnT Lite etc. It just makes it so people won't HAVE to root, put a new ROM etc.
I'm noticing a definite slow down after time, which did not happen with the older 3053 so I'm not sure what's up. It's not a terrible slowdown, but when you initially start or for example, use Launcher Pro - and head into the App Drawer, scrolling is seamless and instant, and with this new ROM after some time of the device being idle, slight lag seems to be introduced. Now, as I mention it's not world ending, but it never happened before soooo I may be heading to TnT lite myself. In the end, is it enough to move from a fast, working ROM? I don't think so. But it at least makes the device worthwhile right out of the box.
BTW to someone who said it does NOT come with Angry birds - that's not exactly correct. I did not have Angry birds installed. I went from 3053 to the one released this evening and I have Angry Birds on there now.
UPDATE: No longer experiencing the slowdown. The only thing I've done differently is 1. charge it up - it was at roughly 20% or so when I noticed the lag (in reality that was probably around 5-10% battery charge left)...and 2. I installed the Google Apps and Market.

Downloading the new update now (2am Christmas Eve) I can't wait to see how this new update helps my tablet!

I"m so glad to hear all these good things about the new update, I really! cant wait to get my very own to test out every thing... as soon as anyone has time please do a update review on the tablet with the new update..

You mentioned:
"the stock calendar program does sync with google calendar..."
I can't seem to make it sync... the calendar program asks for a url to an .ics file... Am I in the wrong place?
Thanks!

Zune Purchase histroy showing app multiple times

I am new to windows phone 7 and have sent last 2 days configuring and installing apps. I have seen some weird behavior and wanted to confirm is it is just for me or everyone
1) In the Zune purchase history, each app is showing 4 times.
2) Once you buy an app in market place and visit the app page in zune, it still shows buy button. I mean the app home page does not tell you if you have already purchased or installed the app.
3) if this behavior is not normal, what support do you call? is there microsoft call center for windows phone/ zune?

I just looked and I'm seeing the same thing. Probably just some temporary issue on the back end, I don't remember it being it like that previously.

same thing with mine.

Found the Microsoft Support Number
1-877-438-9863
I have told the about the issue and they are investigating it. They did check that the paid apps are not being charged 4 times. So, I guess it is not really a big issue but I will update the thread if i hear anything back from MS.
Anyway, the MS support center is very helpful. It is nice to see MS work really hard on this OS.

I had that same problem but its been fixed now

[Q] Mango Live tiles and Push Notifications

After updating to Mango, have any of you seen improvements in the way Live tiles and Push notifications work ? Especially for 3rd Party Apps like Kik Messenger, Beezz, etc ? Or are things still the same old thing, broken ?

Yes. For me they've been extremely reliable now. I don't use Beezz, I use Rowi, and they've been perfect as long as their service is working. Same with WeatherBug, updates exactly on schedule now.

Apps have not been updated for Mango yet, so it would be a bit premature to say anything as of yet.

No it wouldn't, as those upgrades are needed for multi-tasking. The question here is about a system wide enhancement of 3rd party Live Tiles at the OS level.

There is no doubt that the push notifications have been more reliable since I upgraded

Agreed. Haven't had any problems with push or tile notifications since upgrading to mango.

New Facebook for Android UI!

Hi guys!
So today I opened up my Facebook application and was graced with a beautiful new, fluid UI. I am a member of the Alpha Team, however I have rigorously tested this new interface and I cannot find any bugs with it what so ever.
Gone is the horrible sidebar that once was, the layout is extremely similar to that of the latest Twitter application, apart from the Settings are not on a three button menu.
I've uploaded some screenshots to my Dropbox, take a look here!

It's so nice update but I don't know why the FB application is still using so much from the battery
Anyway the FB application keep syncing the things everytime you connect to internet so... I don't have it

I have heard a few people moan about this in the past, but I have genuinely never had any issues with Facebook and battery. In the settings there is an option to the reduce the refresh rate to just once every four hours, I think you can even disable it completely to be honest. I have Facebook on my Note 3 though and with or without Facebook installed I pretty much get the exact same battery life.

Agreed. Ugly, and bored.

The UI work is fine. As mentioned, the wakelocks and battery use are terrible. Even when I turn off sync and notifications, Facebook causes more wakelocks than most other apps and uses a lot of data. They should address that but it seems they never will so I use the web sites.

Hmm, your version is listed as 6.0.0.27 but I seem to have 7.0.0.1 with the 'old' interface.

yeah, I'm not liking the new UI

I am also on 7.0.0.1 and have the old UI...

It seems I'm in the same boat with you. It's 7.0.0.0.1, not 6.0.0.0.27 at all. Same UI as well.

7.0.0.1 and have the old UI as well. At least I am not the only one.

It seems to be account related because I signed into my brothers account and I have the new ui then I log into mine again and I have the old ui once again

I find it unfair how random people are getting the new UI and yet I haven't gotten it yet even though I've been in the alpha program since it first started.

Do we still get the new UI for facebook app? I mean for everyone!! ??

totally agree!

It's server decided. Any issues with not seeing the new UI have nothing to do with the application. users who get the new newsfeed SHOULD get the new UI. Not definite in all cases though.

I "think" I got it
People are asking about this new UI all over the internet, and when my friend came asking why he still has the old UI on his Note 3, while I have the flat UI on my Note 2, I had to dig into it...
First of all, we both have exactly the same version of the apk from the Play store (6.0.0.28.28), I even sent him the apk from my device to be 100% sure. He logs into his account on his Note 3, gets old UI. I log into my account on his Note 3 after clearing data, I get the old UI as well (so it is not server/account related issues as mentioned before, we even have been sharing the same router at the time).
He logs into his account on my Note 2, he gets new UI. I log him out, force stop, clear all data, and log into my account, I get the OLD UI !! Weird right ?!
I looked everywhere in the settings, maybe I made a toggle or something before ... then I remembered I don't see the "Home" settings under the FB app settings. I had "Home" installed previously and then removed. So I installed "Home" and activated it. Logged into Facebook and voila, the new UI !
I logged off again, force stopped, cleared data, and removed "Home" entirely. Logged in again, same old UI. Installed "Home" one more time, activated it, logged into FB, and the new UI came up. I uninstalled "Home", logged out (didn't clear data), and logged in again, and I still got the new UI. So I am guessing it has to be related to the Facebook "Home" app, somehow it leaves a setting in FB app data to enable the new UI !
Tried doing the same on my friend's N3, but "Home" is for funny reasons isn't compatible with his device as of now. Sent him the apk and installed it, it nagged that it isn't compatible with this device, so we couldn't truly "activate" it. He still has the old UI.
I hope this casts a light on the problem of not having the new UI and helps others. I only tried it on a couple of "similar" devices, so your feedback is also appreciated

What was your exact process for setting up the home launcher? I have a sgs4 and tried this, no dice.
