[REQ] HTC Twitter Cache Cleaner

As the title say. As HTC twitter will not auto clear the old tweets and thurs hog up lots of storage and also slow the device down.

good idea. would like to clear my old tweet too

Hmm interesting, I thought this would clear on its own, I dont use it anymore but have for the last 3 months, so dread to think all them tweets are stored up. Is this right?

would like to clear my old tweet too

ok. i will have a check with clear temp. did not explore the newer version as i prefer to us sktools..
but i will still prefer standalone htc twitter cache cleaner

I tried cleartemp and it did not work, every time i update twitter it causes sense to crash.
Been working fine for weeks and suddenly i have a problem. Im in the process of chatting to HTC to resolve, unless someone can suggest where to look??

i have the same problem, please help

It's simple... when you know it
First go to settings and turn off Sence.
Now go with explorer to device\temp\twitEng
Empty the folders Cache and Db.
Turn Sence back on, and your done.
On the Twitter tab you have to sign in again.
Sometimes when you sign in again, it keeps asking you to sign in.
When this is the case, do a soft reset and everything works.
Good luck

Hey guys just a heads up that the Twitter API has been having issues for the past few days causing the tab to crash sense.

LOL,
Yh i managed to figure out the procedure myself last night but didnt have time to post it here
@Chris, just remember to show all files if using File explorer and that you may need to rename a file to anything you want temporily as it will not delete/corrupted, you should then be able to delete the last file. If your using total comm. then shouldnt be a problem.
@Zelendel - yh figured there had been a problem, but hy HD wouldnt work even after Twitters API issue had been resolved, but clearing all files worked
Of course if you wanted you could change the custom files in cleartemp to do this for you, but hey it only took a min or two, so why bother lol.
Now it would be good if HTC did a hotfix that regularly deleted these files as it will of course happen again depending on usage, but hey....
Case resolved.

[Q] can't open pictures if send with whatsapp

hai there,
does anybody has the same probleme as me?i cannot open the pictures that been send tot me tru whatsapp..and i cant open "little moevies"from browser?
any idea?
(exuse my bad english)

I use WhatsApp for the most part of the day, I'm able to open, send and receive pictures and videos. Everything is running ok.
Try reinstalling the app... who knows?

i tried that,no differenceso i thought maybe i have to do a batterypull..
but i cant open de cover..tried it for 30 minutes..

have you seen in the manual how to open the cover? you need to push it with both your thumbs.
anyway, i'd try uninstalling and deleting all the cache you have from whatsapp of your SD card... then do a clean install and see if it's working.

Hold the phone face down on your palm, with the keyboard on your fingers. Now with your other hand, press the bottom of your palm on the battery cover, press hard and push upwards to remove the cover.

try factory reset next... xD

thank you,i've managed to get it open,en did a batterypull,didn't change anything..i think i have a early edition of this phonebecause i cant find many apps in market,like whatsapp,angrybirds.. also my battery sucks
when i charge all night til morning,and just drink coffee its already at 80%..i have the appclose app..removed facebookchat,disabled a view things reccomended...but nothing changes..i hope you all understand me,my english is very poor

I don't know why the battery for some people is so bad. I have the phone as-is, using with Facebook chat, Google account configured and automatic sync. My battery lasts 24 hours, always. I don't installed too many apps, just Skype, WhatsApp, Evernote, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Tune In Radio and Foursquare... maybe the case is some apps you are using?
I know that the Android market limits some apps depending on where you are based. Like we're usually unable to see the apps launched in Japan. For that there is a specific app/customization that I've read about a few months ago. Unfortunately I don't remember right now, but some Google should do it.
- Also, have you seen WhatsApp and Angry Birds on the market with other Android phones, in the same location? If yes, then we have to investigate the problem.
Alternatively, you may try downloading your apps using the web version of android market. You just have to login with the same Google Account you used on your phone and click to install on your web browser. The download and installation will happen automagically.
Curiosity: how can you say you can't see WhatsApp on your market if you're complaining about WhatsApp pictures in the first post?

was it something call market enabler? hmmm...

haii,
I dowloaded whatsapp tru the site..not tru market..
with other phones i always could use it,en it was in market..strange:$
i did a factory reset..didn't help with the pictures..i only installed whatsapp,en flashplayer..and appcloser..nothing else..
when i go to the online version of market,it say i have a samsung phone,and i cant change that.. before i had a bb 9780,and would like tot have android.thats why i bought this phone..
maybe i just have tot accept that this phone is not what i hoped it would be
but thanks for your reply

[Q] ASOP Contacts to replace the HTC Sense contacts

Ive been loking for the ASOP contacts/dialer to replace the HTC Sense but i couldnt find it anywhere. Anybody knows how to replace the app on an unlocked device? I find useless that the HTC contacts doenst sync to my Google account. Also it seems the HTC app merges duplicates in the phone, but no in Google.
With my old G1 i can keep all contacts syncd but not with this phone. I tried to flash Gapps 20110613 but it didnt work. I used Blue6IX_Mod02.zip and Bloater to remove as much crapware as i could but they dont touch contacts either.
Is there anyway to replace the contacts/dialer with the standard ASOP one? If not, do i need to install a GB ROM? I dont have S-OFF since this is a work phone and dont want to mess much with installing a new ROM if is not absolutely needed. Also, I really need to use the camera in Skype, but it seems it doesnt work on the ICS ROMS so i wont touch those for now.
Replacing the HTC Calendar will be nice too
Thanks a lot for your help

I'm not sure what you did, but the HTC Sense contacts most certainly sync with Google, and with Facebook and Whatsapp and Twitter. When I've reinstalled a Sense ROM, I never have to mess with my contacts, as soon as I enter my gmail info, everything starts syncing perfectly. Within 10 minutes all my contacts, my calendar, and even all my downloaded apps, are all right there on my phone.
I think you deleted something you shouldn't.

Sense has some negative points, but the contacts app is not one of them.
When I've used CM7 in the past on different phones, I've always missed the contacts app the most. I love the way it integrates with every major service, collates messages/mails/updates, and just generally kicks the butt of the regular contacts app.
It sounds like you're doing something wrong.

you are right, i didnt have the auto-sync on, so it does sync changes for contacts originated in Google.

Thanks for the reply, I may be doing something wrong so let me describe the shortcomings I see with the Sense contacts,
1) select a contact, while you are looking at contact details change to another app, now go back to contacts...it doesnt show the contact you have selected, rather it goes to the "matched contacts suggestion" or to the full contacts list. Even if i select dismis all in matched contacts it always brings me back to that screen. If i go to dialer>contacts it goes back to the full list of contacts
2) google contacts groups - nowhere to be seen, specially favorites. Somehow the Sense contacts has its own favorites not syncd with google. With Go Contacts you can see the Google/android favorites why no with Sense contacts?
3)Dialer and contacts show messages and call log ONLY for the native services. I use only Gvoice for calls and SMS, so nobody has my Tmobile number. GVoice is completely integrated with the phone, however the dialer/contacts is not integrated with Gvoice.
4) I also have the HP Touchpad running CM9, with the standard "People" app. Thats a Google native app, with full integration with GVoice and similar layout, why can not i have that in the mytouch 4g? Why do i need to use the Sense contacts?
Im not saying the sense contacts is bad, but i want something else, namely the Google app for contacts. do i need to flash a ROM to get the problems above solved? Or do i need to change anything else on my current settings?

It sounds like you want the Google apps that come with android 4.0 (ics). Since out phone is running gingerbread, flashing those apps will get you nowhere. I'd suggest you try running one of the ICS based roms that are available.

thats plan D ... this is a work phone (so dont want to mess with ROMs, S-ON unlocked is fine since i followed HTCdev.com instructions and for what i hear people dont have any problems getting a replacement form TMobile if something goes wring). Also i need Skype/GTalk videocalls and none of the ICS roms i saw have that working. Thats why i was asking for the AOSP contacts.apk or similar. I think it should be somewhere since my old G1 with CM7 uses the google contacts app fine. But im not sure if there is an apk for 2.3.4 AND if i can just replace the Sense files or it will give me any other trouble.

Did you find a way?
I have an HTC One running Maximus 13 with Android 4.3 and HTC Sense 5.0
I would also like to replace the HTC Sense contacts/dialer/calendar with the stock Android 4.3 apps
I cannot get carddav contacts to sync properly or edit/add carddav contacts because the HTC version of these apps won't cooperate.
Did you find a way to replace them?

What should I do to maintain my S3?

Could someone provide a guide or maybe tips on things I should be doing to keep my S3 optimized? I purchased All-In-One Toolbox and deleted all of my old SMS text and call history and it really sped things up. I was wondering what else I could or should be doing to keep it running well.

With the text thing just set a limit of 2-500 to keep things a bit tidy. Made the mistake when I first got my s3 to set it to unlimited. After 20k+ of buildup I wasnt able to delete messages anymore, had to let a program run for 5-6 hrs to delete them all. Also like any computer an occasional wipe can do wonders for performance (after backing everything up), whenever my s3 starts acting up I do a clean reflash of my rom and its back to 100%

Get rid of Touchwiz asap.

If you're rooted, and not on 4.3, get the Lagfix app.
It runs the fstrim commands on your flash storage partitions which help quite a bit if performance seems to be sluggish while loading apps.

Remove all unnecessary bloatware, install some custom rom (if you want better performance than touchwiz one+more available RAM), clean your cache using cache cleaner apps, don't use task killers 'cause they are unnecessary and eats RAM.

I found using Greenify on apps like Facebook really helps preventing slowdown and improves batterylife as well. However, it needs root.

I should have mentioned that i'm not rooted and would prefer not to do that as I'm completely new to it.

This sounds like the only suggestion that doesn't require rooting, correct? Any other non-rooted suggestions?
How do you set the limit on text messages? Is there any app that will allow me to delete messages that are older than a certain date? The ones I've found so far will only do all or by sender.

Root your phone and flash a new ROM, kernel, and modem (If you're not on the latest one)!

How can there not be anything I can do unless I root? My phone was plenty fast when I first got it and there was bloatware on it then too. There must be other ways to speed things up like cleaning out my cache and the like.

I have mine set to 500 SMS, and 20 MMS

Thanks I figured it out.
Ultimately I ended up uninstalling the app though because it was too slow and I didn't like the ads.
I've been using All-in-one Toolbox and just periodically deleting messages.
So does anyone else have any advise on speeding up my device?

Just throwing it out there, but if you don't have root, you will never REALLY be able to optimize much. You're stuck with what Verizon and Sammy gave you... Rooting and installing cyanogenmod brought the lag next to nothing.

The stock messaging app allows you to set how many messages it keeps. You set x number of text messages and x number of mms messages. Open the message app and the click the settings button and there are the settings.

You can always restore it to its initial performance by factory resetting, independent of what ROM you are on. I just don't think touchwiz is as responsive out of the box as cyanogenmod. And I think cyanogenmod holds up to lots more apps and data being on the phone better compared to touchwiz.
People will argue that as always, its just my personal opinion

For pure stock rom 4.3:
1) Disable unused apps (bloatware)
2) limit SMS, MMS - no more than 500 (mine set to 200).
3) install cache cleaner app and schedule to clean cache weekly
4) Reboot your phone once a week or once every 2 weeks.(I do it before I hit the bed)
You phone should performance well.

1) For user download apps, just uninstall them. For system apps go into settings-> application-> tab on the all, this dispaly all the apps, if you selected a system app, open it and select disable, to the right you also see a tab for all the apps that you disabled and to re activate just open it up and tab on enable. Note: Not all system apps can be disable. If you don't see the option to disable then it can't.
2) You need a cache cleaner with a scheduler like:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache or
