Android : Twidroid Alternative - Connection For Facebook Status Updates?
Jun 4, 2009
Any other Tweeters gettin tired of Twidroid? The dev had it perfect, in my opinion, about a month or two ago.
Since then, there's been this odd bug where sometimes you can't update, in fact, MOST of the time you can't update normally. You have to uninstall it first and then install the new version. And their solution is just to "suggest" this in the description.
Last week they had two updates and I had to install them 3-4 times each before they would work. I'd install, have it running and get told "there's a new update!" which is actually just the same update. Now when you tap exit it asks you "do you want to clear your username, password, and cache now?" If you press "no" it doesn't exit.
Unistalling/reinstalling wouldn't be such a huge deal except you have to re-enable it, re-enter your login info, and do all your settings over. By default it saves the cache to the phone, so you have to switch it to the SD card. By default it's going to check every 5 minutes and drain your battery, by default it doesn't show full messages in the notification shade, etc, etc...
It's a shame, as it worked perfectly with statusinator (for facebook). So, I could update my facebook status in statusinator and have automatically ask me if I wanted it copied to twitter, too.
But since statusinator doesn't work with cupcake, and appears to have been abandoned by the dev some time ago, I'm looking for a new twitter client.
I'm not going to pay for a client. I find it ridiculous for someone to expect me to pay for an app that runs a free service. That's like paying someone to turn on my television and change the channels.
I'm trying BuddyMob and twittered and they're both "okay" so far. Anything that's awesome, does notifications, and has a connection for facebook status updates?

when i update my status from the app on my phone (droid x), it only shows up on MY wall and not on the usual list that my friends see...I have deleted the app, re-downloaded, clear data, etc. On facebook on the PC, under account settings and "other applications" where facebook for android would be listed, it is NOT there...so that may be the problem, but why isn't is showing up in the list?

All I want to do is update my status with pictures. I cannot seem to find a way to do this. Am I overlooking something? Is there any way to update your status with any facebook app or the moblie site and attach a picture to it? I have been searching for this answer for hours, it seems so silly but I cannot figure it out, or find any posts.
Have tried:
m.facebook.com mobile site
facebook app
bloo app
This should be something easy. It is so frustrating. Is there any way of doing this other than opening up the full site on another browser. I really don't want to deal with the full site, I just want to update my status and attach a pic? going into the gallery and sharing it that way unloads it to your facebook albums but there is no way to link to it when posting a status update.

I have friendstream running, and it seems to update twitter just fine, but for some odd reason facebook status messages don't get updated unless I manually refresh.
I have double checked everything too, it should be checking every hour, so I have no clue what is going on. Anyone else experiencing this? Or does anyone know of a solid workaround?

I've used Twidroid Pro for about a month now, but I've never tried the built in search feature up until today. I can search for "Tweets" without a problem, but when I search for "Users" I get a Twidroid Error: Connection Failed every time. Has anyone else been getting this error? Any ideas on how to fix it? I would send a report to Twidroid but I can't figure out how to contact them from their site.

I have the Android Facebook-Connect library running in my emulator and I'm able to set my status with the Facebook API I have setup. However, I don't know where to go from there? Am I supposed to use the session key that this library allows me to get and make some Facebook API calls? I haven't found any code examples to even see what the proper syntax is. Am I better off using another library? I tried fbrocket with limited luck(I get a "server error 104 - Incorrect signature").

I was wondering if would be possible to perform an action for each time the USB status of the device changes.
For example if the user plugs in the cable and it is in sync/charge mode it performs a certain action, if the user then changes the phone into USB Memory Card mode another action is performed and if the user then disconnects the cable then the another action is done.

I'm basically trying to check that the device is connected to the internet to that I can access and parse an RSS feed. This is also the 1st android app I have written so I'm still finding my way around so any help/advice would be appreciated. I'm sure the variables should be assigned to something but I don't know what. The classes don't appear to have public constructors so I can't do "WifiInfo info = new WifiInfo()".............

Info about when the phone was last connected to the charger? I ran across that last night (my first day with the Evo) and I wanted to look at it again since I unplugged it in the middle of the night and don't remember when I did so. I've only had the phone since about 5 pm yesterday but I've put it through very heavy use and so far I'm 'very' pleased with the battery life. Definitely better than my Hero so far.

I'm the happy owner of an Hero since one week but I have an "issue" with the Weather widget, the widget itself and the info under the clock in the home page. I live in France but I work in another country, I've not enabled auto data roaming as it costs a lot. Problem is that at 6:30am for instance the forecasts are updated, then I cross the border, data mode becomes disable and then 6h after, the logo still shows a moon and the 7C based on 6:30 update. And it stays in this useless state until 6pm when I leave the roaming mode returning to France.
How can I make the 2 widgets showing estimated forecast (looks like 3 days are available) even if no update is possible ? Before the Hero I was using a Winphone with SBP Mobile Shell and the weather widget was taking care of the time of the day to change the logo/forecast even not connected. If not possible with the HTC, could you point me to a weather widget more "clever" than this one?

Is there an app or a way to have filters on Facebook AND Twitter (but mostly Facebook) that we can put select people in that whenever those people update their statuses we get alerted. Is there any way to do that either on or off the phone so that we can get updated on the phone and respond?

Anyone know if this is possible? I can't seem to figure it out so I am thinking that it's just not possible?

Call me slow, but I just realized that the Friend Stream widget updates your status, not posts to your Wall. Also, I've been so confused by FB messaging that I wasn't even sure these were two different things anymore. Whatever... Anyway, what I'm wondering is, is it possible to clear your status using the FS widget? I've noticed that after using it to post a comment, that status is still shown as active until I manually clear it (or post a new one) later. Or do you have to actually go to FB and clear it?

There's a new version of Facebook available on the Market, but because the Desire comes with the official Facebook app already installed it doesn't prompt you to update it.When you click to install the version on the Market, the phone is clever enough detect the preinstalled one and applies it as an update, so you don't end up with two Facebook apps in the phone menu or Manage Apps menu. After installing it the Manage Apps option changes from 'Clear data' to 'Uninstall updates' and the version has gone from 114 to 121. You'll also notice that the 'Take photo' tile has now been replaced with 'Inbox'. There's still no option to tag people in images.

There are certain facebook friends that you could give a sh** about their senseless status updates and photo updates every five seconds. Right? Like friends girlfriends, chicks you hooked up with years ago, etc, that if you delete they will talk a bunch of trash about. So, my issue is: is there a way to have android ger updates from facebook and give notifications, but disable updating certain friends? or vice versa, choose a list of friends to update only. i have a Verizon Droid eris, stock 1.5 with Sense UI

When I open my address book and edit a contact and select facebook to link the contact. It updates and uses the picture from facebook. This is a very neat option, my question is when I link a profile from facebook to a contact does this decrease battery life, or can I change some setting so facebook wont update but maybe once a day?

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

I've noticed that I can't type the full 240 characters into the update field in the Facebook app. It cuts me off at 160. Is it just me, or is the app falling short?

I've been coding for Android for awhile now, but just with a basic UI. I'm coding an app for a friend in which I simply retrieve his tweets, and Facebook statuses, and I wanted to have a sleek UI for it. I know that since every phone runs ICS, which means they won't get the Holo theme(<3). Are there templates that I can use, or what?

I know how to upload pictures to a Facebook album, and I know how to make a status update, but how do I do both at the same time, so I can comment on the picture? (This is not the same as giving the picture a caption, which I also know how to do.)

When i update my status on friendstream, it automatically updates my facebook and twitter status. I'm trying to figure out how to only update my FB status when I post to friendstream, without updating my twitter status BUT still receive other people's twitter updates. I've tried unchecking 'sync friend' and 'sync peep' in settings but that didn't work. evo 4g.

So my new incredible doesn't update like my blackberry did. I checked the settings and the notifications are selected, but nothing comes through. When I open the app and goto the home screen and then notifications, I have to force a refresh to see my responses, etc.

I tried sync-ing my contact book for my facebook contact updates but it showed no updates even after a few days, but my contacts do have updates on actual Facebook.So I thought I'd try to delete off my account from Accounts&Sync and re-add my account again after a few minutes.After re-adding the account, my friend stream works fine, sync-ed as per normal but when I click on my contacts book/people and tried to link my contacts to their facebook, it showed a blank list and words in the middle showing "No matches found", in other words, I don't have friends?I waited for a hours and tried to re-add and sync again but still can't link my contacts to their facebook because it doesn't show up any facebook link for me to link to my contacts no matter how I try.I resetted my phone back to factory defaults and tried again but it's still the same.

Hey folks, I have a rooted desire witba customer. ROM installed. On The marketplace it is saying that there's an update for both of the aforementioned apps. However, when I try to install them it always fails. These are The only 2 that seem to be a problem.

Just noticed something; my brother in law called me this morning. He also happens to be one of my Facebook friends. As soon as the phone rang, his FB picture showed up and his most recent wallpost was scrolling at the bottom of his caller ID pic.Is this new?I don't recall ever seeing that before.Seems like I'm always learning new stuff on my EVO.
