[App] TweetDeck for Android

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.

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..

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?

Google+ App (not an invite thread)

Please don't ask for invites here as it will only get the thread closed, and other threads already exist for invites.
So what do people think of the app? For a beta product it seems really good (from my limited use). I think a tablet version would be nice but I understand it's in beta
One drawback I think is that Huddle doesn't integrate with Google Talk? Seems a bit weird to me as G+ is integrated with GTalk on the website as it is in Gmail. Hopefully it will change with a future update. Other than that the app looks good. Glad to see there's already been a minor update too

I want to see Hangouts implemented. Otherwise, very solid app. Loving + lol

Loving the G+ app. Definitely well done, seems very clean and fluid.
Loving the Huddle feature, I just wish there was a way to remove users from chats. But that's a minor detail.

I really like it so far, although I'd like the privacy controls to be more transparent and built into the app itself.

I was looking how to do this earlier...

Unfortunately it will probably be a while seeing as Google Talk still doesn't support many handsets for video chat and Hangouts use the same technology

you can moderate comments from the app, Facebook struggles to even show the damned comments. I cant wait till Google plus gets a bespoke tablet app.

It's inexcusable for this app to not have a layout for tablets.

How is it inexcusable? Google+ isn't even in open beta yet..

The G+ has been known for a loooong time, and 3.0 has been in the works for probably just as long. Hell, they've submitted an iOS app already.
I used to defend the lack of HC apps, but there's onlyg about 5 apps from Google that actually have tablet support, every other google app lacks it. They should be leading by example. We're 6 months into the lifecycle, Google is taking the "Do as I say, not as I do" approach to HC.

I think all the devs are holding off on making tablet specific apps because of Ice Cream Sandwich coming soon. I have a feeling it will make all the other apps play nice with tablets as well as phones.
As for the GOOGLE+ app, I like it and they have left room for improvement so there is sure to be more to come. Within 6 months, this thing is going to put Facebook to shame unless they act fast. They are both on the same track, just starting at different ends. Going to be interesting to watch the next few months.

It still has some glitches (e.g. I couldn't find a way how to add a new person to my circles that is not in my contacts yet), but works well...and is way better than official FB app.

Just remove the user from the circle you used to start the huddle. Won't that subsequently remove them from the chat?

Not that I've seen. I've since removed someone from a Circle that was in an initial Huddle chat and they still remain 'Invited'.

That's because a Huddle isn't a chat room with heirarchy. It's a meet up where everyone is equal. It's...a huddle.

Still waiting for Google Profiles to be supported in Google Apps.

I know it's not the app but god the website is terrible on a tablet.. tis really annoying

The app doesn't work for me. I have an account, which I use in Firefox for Windows just fine, but the app asks me which account to connect with. I pick one, then it says "connecting" for a moment, then says I need an invitation. My only options are to close it or get more info.
Edit: sorry I'm currently using it on a Droid X. I discovered this thread from Google search, didn't realize it was the Transformer section.

Force close when I try huddle.

It seems very good or a beta version, but still needs many improvments to beat FB...

Weird facebook UI = Compromised phone?

Hi all. My g/f's Nexus 5 has been having problems with facebook. The skin and user interface suddenly changed and looks slightly different layout. Enough to be noticeable but only just. It only happens on her account though. Also if I clear cache and data and sign her back in, the first time round it all works as normal. It is only until I close the app down fully and then go back in that it does it.
I tried uninstalling all apps and factory resetting but when I try again to install as the first app, it still does it!
Her account was hacked a few weeks ago. It started happening after this. I think a dodgey app has done this. I have fixed her account and resecured but it goes on being a problem.
No symptoms away from her nexus. Only the android face book app does this. Anyone ever seen this?

As of right now no one will know what you are talking about without screenshots. Please take some before and after screenshots so we can help you.

Was her account hacked on her phone? If I thought there might be any malware on the phone I'd flash the factory image and start all over with fresh install of everything. But I'm also a little paranoid when it comes to having my accounts hacked.

Isn't FB slowly rolling out a new UI for their app? Could be what it is.

Facebook app looks the same for me for the past 4 weeks
Try start her phone in safemode then try again https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2852139?hl=en

OK I worked it out. Its a new Facebook UI! Its the official android app. They seem to roll it out to certain accounts for some reason. She never signed up to beta test. When k signed in as her on my phone it changed my app layout too. If I then go as me it is changed for me too. If I then clear app data and only ever go on as me then it stays as the old UI.
I thought it was hacked because the UI looks a bit more flat and simple with slight change in tab layout. I prefer the old one myself. I will post screenshots later and I found a YouTube video about it.

Facebook is abtesting their application. I have got the new UI for few weeks now and before that I had an another slightly different UI.
If you tear the apk apart you can see a lot of interesting abtesting folders etc. Now I have a great flat design and I like it
This is the old UI which I think all of you use:
http://www.androidheadlines.com/ima...ce-better-ui-ics-support-and-more_simrc_0.jpg
This is the new UI for that small user base who is able to test it:
http://www.androidguys.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/facebook_40_leak_ui1-630x368.png
At the moment we are at application version 6.0.0.28.28

Yeah.
I guess it says a lot about what I think of the new flat skin/UI. I thought it looked so amateur and mickey mouse that it was a redirected hacked app. lol to be fair, it's...alright. I just think it gives no improvement and also the font for the main headings is too large and not a nice font generally.
Glad I got this one cleared up. The hacked account a few weeks prior I think must have just been a coincidence, I guess.

Multiple Facebook Processes issue

I seem to be having a weird issue with my S8+. Whenever I open a Facebook notification, instead of going into the already open Facebook app and refreshing to the Notification point, I get a new Facebook app instance launched (up to 3 at a time).
Also the erratic notifications are not visible in the main app, even if I refresh.
I have only one Facebook account, no third party FB apps. Just the Facebook (not Beta) app and FB Messenger app (and that works OK).
Given that the FB has burned through half my 2GB data allowance this month I'm inclined to blame some of it on the triple instance eating through resources.

I've been reading a lot on how the real FB app is a total battery hog and Data hog due to running background processes. I can't comment on your odd issue when opening FB but suggest you consider an FB alternative. I'm trying out Friendly for FB. It includes Messenger too. Seems to be way less intrusive (running in background) but I can't quote any stats for you. I am seeing better battery life now. I don't look too much at data usage since I have unlimited. Good luck!

It's because the Facebook app sucks. I would suggest turning any auto play/upload options to save data by the way.

One issue was that. Had it off on my Nexus 6P. Then forgot to turn Autoplay off on this one (and thinking that Autoplay was off by default on Cellular. It wasn't).

Yeah that was burning a lot of people when Facebook first enabled it and of course it's on by default in the app when you install it clean.

Same issue!
I'm also a Nexus 6P upgrader, and I'm experiencing the same issue! It's actually the ONLY annoyance I have with the 8+, though I was also quite fond on generic Android, so I'm working to adapt my phone settings to that experience, as much as I can...
I'll be interested to see if there's a solution to this. Currently, I'm just avoiding clicking on the notifications, or remembering to close the extra Facebook app(s) if I do.

I have at times used many alternatives like Friendly, especially with my Nexus 6P which had an awfull battery, but keep going back to FB apps. Seem more featured and polished to me.

Yeah I have this too not seen a fix yet

Same thing happening to me. Are you also getting the Facebook status bar issue where it's going wonky all the time?

I think as a workaround if you just launch FB app and go to notifications within the app you are fine. As you said if you go from a FB notification it seems to open a new FB process which is definitely not good for battery or memory.

Problem is the app doesn't show the (same) notifications I get from SystemUI. So I get different notifications from Android and different from the app. It's like they are fighting each other.
I tried disabling the Samsung preinstalled Facebook packages but the issue remains.

I seem to have resolved the issue.
First a couple of notes.
I've had the phone since May. I got the June and July updates, but issue was not resolved.
I did a full reset and issue persisted.
I did a full reset without any restores from Google or Samsung. Didn't even login to my accounts. Same thing.
So I did a full flash of the latest official ROM using Odin. In the process I used the European unbranded CSC instead of my provider's (CYV Cyta Vodafone).
Problem solved. So apparently it was something to do with that specific branch. Minor market would also explain why I seem to be the only one reporting this.

Hmmmm! I seem to have this problem. Not rooted on a G955W. Anymore clues?

I do have it as well

Same issue on note 8
I seem to have a similar issue where Facebook will have more than one instance running after a while. I can alternate between the two instances running by pushing home and then going back into the app so for instance it will be in a video where I left off and then when I push home it will go to a an instance where I am commenting on a post and then when I push home again and go back it will go back to the video. The only way to temporarily fix it is to force quit the app for me.
