Hello all,
Yes I have searched the forum. It might be me incapable of using the search system but I just can't find out how to get my twitter apps to work.
I am using this rom, which is working perfect except for twitter apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
I did however try the auto timezone trick which seems to work for most people but not for me. I used a variety of timezones including my current one but everytime I get the error of me not being able to log in.
Apps I tried: Twicca, Twitdroid, Twitter for Android, Seesmic, Tweetdeck.
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...
I use friendcaster pro and it gets the job done for me.

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 )
So ive noticed that daily briefing and feeds & updates only seem to work when im connected to data and not when im on wifi. obviously this is a problem since wifi uses less battery and runs way faster (at least for me). Anyone know why this is?
At this point I just found alternative widgets through the market, though I can't seem to find one for twitter. I like the Feeds & Updates cuz it covers a while page and you can scroll, I havent another widget that will do this, and Ive tried as many of the twitter apps as i could find. anyone maybe know of one that im unaware of?
Hi,
I am having this extreme annoying problem with Facebook Notifications. Even though this has to do with facebook fixing this stupid annoyance, i am looking for a solution until they actually think for the user and not for themselves.
Every time i am on the PC, whether i'm using Facebook Messenger or am actually browsing through facebook.com with the browser, if i get a notification, those of CHAT most of the time, i receive them on my phone as well. Now everything is fine and is working as it should, but i find it extremely annoying being notified on my phone when i am actually at the heart of facebook where nothing can pass away from my eyes (even ears)
I dont want to stop facebook messenger notifications (nor the facebook main app ones), i just want them to be ignored or call it NOT SENT when i am connected on the browser. There must be a way for facebook to prioritize the destination device (client, me) on where to send the notification or where not.
Regards.
Anything guys? im not a fan of double posts either.
If you haven't worked it out yet mate - this is nothing to do with anyone on XDA.
Yes, there is probably a way for Facebook to do what you want - so ask the guys at FB who are paid $100k+ to write the apps for that abortion of a social media site. I can't, for a minute, imagine that any Dev on XDA would waste their time taking apart a FB app (which would probably be contrary to XDA's terms and conditions) just to do this.
Bumping your post is not going to get you any help.
I've been a forum mod myself, i know the annoyance i am creating and i know the pain it causes, but believe me i am not proud of it, it is just killing me getting a notification at both places at the same time.
The reason why i'm asking is to look if anyone found a workaround, and i am amazed to see people not being annoyed by this matter.

That excuse is up there along with;-
"I don't want to interrupt you, but ..." - Yes you do or you wouldn't be doing it.
There is no workaround other than disabling notifications on FB. They probably don't want to allow people to turn them off as most people seem to thrive on getting notifications for FB as it makes them feel all important, so getting the notification twice makes them feel twice as important.
I would've found three better methods explaining your workarounds lets say in a more humane way. Remember, people ask questions to get answers, especially on a general discussion board.
Thanks anyway.
I have found a method to use Facebook without the messenger app. It works with all versions I've tried however because it's a glitch, the newer the version the more glitches occur. The version I use is from May 28th 2015 so you will not be losing any features really and you can still FACEBOOK CALL!!!
Ok so the method is uninstall Facebook and messenger, when you uninstall Facebook you need to clear cache/data.
Now you need to go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/downloads this is the official developers Facebook page so you know there wont be any viruses or anything.
Download ''Facebook APK 29.0'' this is the last version that allows messages without the messenger app. You need to extract the .apk using winzip and move it to your phone. When you install V29.0 run it and make sure you can access your messages without the messenger app, sometimes left over files from the newer version force you to install messenger even though this version doesn't require it. If it doesn't let you access your messages you need to clear data/cache/force stop and try loading it again, this is a pain sometimes as it takes awhile for the app to set up each time but it will work. It worked for me first time which is how I came across this glitch but after playing around with different versions I found V29.0 started asking me to install messenger and took around 3 times clearing data/cache before it worked.
Next step, once you have messages working on V29.0 is to download V34.0 and install it over the top of V29.0. Don't clear data, if you do this it won't work. Once installed it should have the left over files from V29.0 and it will let you view your messages, reply to them and even make calls!!
This glitch can be a little tricky to get to work or it can be very easy, it all depends.
One thing I have noticed is when you install V29.0 the screen freezes and you have to exit and reload the app, this seems to happen every time for me, but backing out fixes it and it doesn't happen again. The other thing is if you install V35.0 the Facebook calls don't work, I seem to remember getting V35.0 to work with calls but it's not working now for me, you may want to try it, if you do let me know if you get it working. You can update to the latest version of Facebook but I wouldn't recommend as it is buggy.
I know this is long and a bit of a pain but it works beautifully once you get it working, V34.0 has all the features I need, the only it seems to be missing is the built in browser for viewing websites. Everything else I have tested works, tagging friends in comments/photos/statuses, playing videos, stickers, smiley's ect... plus you get the old interface which I prefer to the new one.
Any questions feel free to ask and let me know if it works for you, if it does hit the 'thanks' button
Thanks alot sir. This is very cool.
I used final facebook right now (55), if i update the app will impact on chat or not sir?
Hello all, I know Facebook still offered a sort off backroom code for messenger still deeply embedded within the app however even with this method which by the way, works, once you install last build (v58) it doesn't direct you to install messenger, but to the web version of Facebook since the embedded messenger code no longer exists there. Maybe if you find which was the last build that had messenger still somewhere in there, we could update to it

Version 55 does have it. I'm not sure if it is the latest, but it seems to work so far for me.
updated to V34 as per above instructions, works perfectly. Thanks
