[Touch Pro CDMA] TheTruth:
... you posted this question in another thread and received your answer there.

you have a dynamic IP and need to utilize a dynamic DNS service in order to get to your PC all the time - a client application is installed on the PC that monitors the IP address and updates the dns-web application so when you point the touch pro remote desktop client at your unique url setup through a dynamic DNS service, it will always find your PC. simplest answer.

alternatively, call your ISP and change your plan from residential to business - but make sure you can get a static IP address.
[Touch Pro CDMA] hamagc:
x2, if you do have a dynamic ip, you'll need a dns service. i use dyndns.org. free and works great. a little program goes on my server to update the ip address and all i have to do to access my remote desktop is type in the dyndns.org address that i picked and it points me right to my server, via phone and computer.

if you have time warner, i hear they do not do static ips for non business.

Of the numerous Twitter apps available in the Android Market, free or paid, which one have you decided to you use after trying out the others?

I'm pretty sure most of you guys (like me) have tried multiple twitter clients for our Android phones. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
I haven't tried out many, but for the longest time, twidroid pro has been the one I use.

I really like the look of twicca, but it doesn't like to refresh or takes forever to refresh, doesn't like to notify me when it is supposed to, and doesn't auto-cap the first word if you aren't mentioning someone as your first word.

I tried hootsuite (think that is the name, too lazy to care to check) for all of about ten minutes before I got tired of it.

I used tweetcaster for about 30 minutes but overall I didn't like the way it handled things when I used it (maybe those have changed now, don't know or really care)

When I did try out/use Sense ROMs a long time ago, I didn't like peep.

I haven't tried that many, but out of the ones I have tried, I have found that twidroid pro works best for what I need.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] j.bruha:
I voted for TweetCaster. I usually go back and forth between it and Twidroid, but most recently, TweetCaster has won out for its appearance. It's cleaner, a bit brighter, and does everything I need it to pretty efficiently.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chobie:
I've tried Twicca, Touiteur Premium, TweestCaster Pro, Seesmic and Twidroid Pro.

Hands down Twidroid Pro is the most feature rich among all the other apps. It supports video uploading too vs the others. Plus, it supports almost all the popular Image upload services for Twitter. My problem with Twidroid Pro is most of the time, image uploading fails, regardless of which image upload service.

I like TweetCaster Pro. One problem I have with it is the ugly splash screen and there is no option for auto jump on top when it refreshes.

Twicca has the sleekest UI and I like how dialog boxes pops out. I hate how it requires plugins for twitpic.

Touiteur Premium is okay. Didn't like it that much. Best widget among the bunch though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uberingram:
Twicca. Streamlined, huge feature set, easy on the eyes, free.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SubyWill:
Touiteur, hands down.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] faizalmzain:
i prefer twicca for my need..i only use twitter to read latest twit from news agency and some famous people that i like..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] palosjr:
+1 this. I was a huge Twidroid Pro user, but once I tried Touiteur I didnt look back. I just like the way it works. Its easy, its functional and its fast.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] serialtoon:
I agree with that one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
touiteur...best UI, hands down...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
Touiteur then Seesmic!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danvy:
I used Twidroid Pro (Android tenor/granpa tweeter client), then Seesmic (robust, clean), quickly tried Peep (good integration with HTC Sense, part of the whole Sense experience) and Touiteur Premium (Promising, good ideas) but now I use Twicca.

- Color labels is a must have feature for me for mobile usage (I only read "important" tweets on the road). They are cleaner than Touiteur's (you can't choose your color, full line color looks awful).

- Layout of Twicca is the cleaner, it gives the best part to tweets. Toolbars are not intrusive (Seesmic tabs are too big)

- Picture/video/url shortener service integration : Seesmic is probably the best, Touiteur is poor and Twicca is nearly nowhere but it's the only one that's extensible with plugins. For URL shortening, I use URL Shortener app.

- Twicca is probably the more responsive on my Nexus one. Touiteur frequently lags on startup.

- Multi-account : Twicca is the only one that can't deal with multiple accounts

- Status update : I Frequently open the notification bar trying to open the status update bar of Touiteur. Other apps are fine.

- Notifications : great on every apps. Twicca does not tell you how many tweets, others do.

You can't make a mistake by choosing Twicca, Twidroid or Touiter. Android give us good choice :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
Touiteur

Looks good, works great! Nicest widget I have seen. I really like the interface!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
Twicca. Color labeling allows me to group people easily. Red for family, Purple for my wife, Green Church, etc. It's amazing how much more proficient you can be, and how many of the pointless posts you can skip over. Only wish that the spell correction worked, and that you could view peoples profile pics.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chobie:
I just discovered that you can put Twicca shortcuts on your homescreen.

Long press on homescreen>Shortcuts>Search/Update/User/View list

Comes in very handy when you dont need a widget taking up your homescreen space.

+1 for twicca!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Twitter Working on Official Android App

They just bought Tweetie... things that make you go Hrrrmmm.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danvy:
Mainstream users might use official Twitter app just like what happened with Facebook. But there still should be needs for advanced twitter apps. The Facebook app is a poor one. Let's see what's coming with Twitter for Android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chobie:
But will the official twitter app for Android support third party services like photo and video services uploading? I'm guessing not. Hmm..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danguyf:
Features I need in a Twitter app:

* multiple accounts

* ability to display the entire conversation when people are @replying to each other back and forth

* open links inside the app rather than switching to the browser

I re-downloaded Touiteur and Twicca to try them again, but they still don't meet those needs.

So far, Seesmic is the only one that does. Swift was nearly there, but then HootSuite bought it and jacked everything up.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Dansfloyd:
TWICCA!! I've tried all the others, and they all suck compared to Twicca
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] m3t4tr0n:
Actually I like twidgit. Nice, neat, simple + works.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
Touiteur has all those features you just described .. they have the conversation list option. when you hit reply it shows it below the tweet ...

it opens link with its own browser inside the apk

and it supports multiple accounts

I have all twitter apps on my phone but touiteur is hands down the best .. dev constantly at work making it better
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chobie:
Let's keep this alive :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Well, first i voted for Twidroid, but now I got to vote for Touiteur, tested it for about 1-2 weeks and gonna keep this, the layout is just great!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
Definitely Touiteur IMO, gorgeous interface, very slick and polished to iApp levels. Just had to use bettercut to put the Twicca icon in it's place on my shortcut, the bird doesn't fit with the rest of my setup :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bcpk:
I've tried a bunch.

Twidroid Pro - Didn't like how uncustomizable it is. Also the background flashes when you tap it which is very distracting.

Seesmic - UI too cheesy and bloated

Touiteur Pro - Far too much emphasis on eye candy rather than speed. I don't like the glitzy UI and effects even if I can turn off elements of it, and I don't like how laggy it is (I daren't think how slow it is on a phone without Snapdragon).

Twicca BETA - Best for me so far. Simple UI, and super fast. However it doesn't ever update itself for some reason.

I think I've tried TweetCaster and HootSuite too but they were too gimmicky. I like the simplicity of Twicca.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chobie:
I've been leaning towards Twidroid. But it's still a pain to navigate / scroll through tweets. Sometimes it jumps randomly on the 1hr ago mark on my tweet timeline. Very annoying.

Anyone else experience this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ty1033:
Twigee is the best one !!!!!!! it can trace the conversations of particular thread!

If you want to combine facebook and twitter as same as HTC's Friend Stream, "Vodafone Update Application" in Market is another solution! Enjoy!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tnicko:
I don't use Twitter but came across this article last week on Engadget. Give it a look:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/twitter-for-android-the-best-apps-reviewed/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vange:
what he said :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danguyf:
You have to reply to a tweet if you want to see the whole conversation?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
No if your replying to someone who you been conversing with you see the whole convo. I f you wanna reply to a tweet u see and want to get the full convo before you do it has the option to read the full convo first ..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] myk202020:
Is the option a button, or in a pop up menu? Or do you have to have the full paid app to do this?

Ive sat for past hour, and I cant find how to see the replies.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
I wanna change my vote and post on the last page to the official Twitter app. Damn it is so polished and nice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mutantblack:
official twitter app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] beneficialguy:
best twitter client

In my opinion Tweet caster is the best twitter client till date for blackberry.....

it is simple to use and

most importantly does not sucks the battery out of my phone....:rolleyes::rolleyes:

This thread is for android though.

Just spoke to a nice lady over a T-Mobile who said they have received a very large shipment of units about 10 minutes ago.

Those waiting for a Desire from them should receive them either tomorrow or the next day.
[Desire General] Ian-OG:
Excellent news - Mine was booked for tomorrow over a week ago. Also getting a SE W995 to replace an excellent but battered K800i, but I'll bet that there's no stock problems on that one...
[Desire General] dahmmy:
se w995

i considered getting the w995

but id rather wait a month and get the x10 mini pro! release date 24.05.
[Desire General] Ian-OG:
X10 Mini does look nice, but my better half hates the newer touch-screeny things (she's managed to put people on hold and send blank messages whilst on the same phone call before on my handsets), doesn't like QWERTY and wanted something as close to the K800 as possible - which didn't leave a lot of choice. Just a shame SE ditched the xenon flash from the C905 - the K800 really is a camera with a phone added on. Plus the W995 is the last one available with the huge SE multi connector, and there's a bit of legacy stuff to transfer (like the in-car equipment). Overall the W995 is a good handset, plus I got a money-saving deal on it compared to current Flext35 - free Internet too, which means I don't have to fiddle with the system like before (I'd set the Internet to use a picture as homepage and proxy server, because it was too easy to knock it on when cancelling stuff).
[Desire General] Ian-OG:
Aw nuts - delayed until Thursday! Still, the W995 arrived on time so at least there's that to play with...
[Desire General] aljwatson69:
Just got a text saying my Desire is going to be delivered 8am-2pm Thursday. Good job I don't have work to go to that day.
[Desire General] Nersha:
Had you ordered online or on the phone?

I got a phonecall yesterday about 6:15pm, saying it will arrive today. Nothing yet.. Fingers crossed!
[Desire General] kinkade:
how long has everyone been waiting? i ordered mine on the 29th of march and still no sign, hoping its going to show up today.
[Desire General] Nersha:
I ordered mine Sunday 11th April
[Desire General] kinkade:
well ain't that just a doozy
[Desire General] Ian-OG:
Just over a week - mind you, when they said it could be shipped by last Thursday I asked for the phone to be delayed a bit cos I was away... now it looks like that dropped me down the 'priority' list a bit.

Also, ordered by phone - in my experience, I always get a better deal talking to someone rather than clicking web offers...
[Desire General] ascot17:
Ordered from T-Mobile last Thursday. Email last night saying out of stock.

Phoned up this morning to complain and was told that more were expected this pm and they would keep an eye on my order. Now just had an email saying delivery tomorrow.

It seems as though it pays to complain.......!
[Desire General] shawon007:
Who has paid the higher price for the phone?
[Desire General] Nersha:
£89 handset

300 mins

unlim texts (with the flexi booster)

unlim internet

£15 per month, 24 months.

Is what I'm paying.

Hasn't arrived yet, but I just rang up and they said it's en route, and can be delivered up to 6pm.

Carrier is royal mail if anyone was wondering.
[Desire General] badgerarc:
I ordered mine at 8:30am on the 26th March and by last Thursday I still had heard nothing, so I went instore and the guy there told me I would have to cancel my upgrade with 150. I phoned them up and told them the situation and they recreated my deal on the system instore, so the guy instore basically handed me a form so sign and my handset. He said he had never seen anything like that before. Took all of 2 minutes :p
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
ordered easter sunday.

got an email out of stock immediately

got another one last night

then this morning got the email saying it had shipped.

hoping it's waiting for me when i get home from work tomorrow!

paid £95 for the phone on the £15/24m contract. about £450 over the 2 years.

would have gone for the £164 on the £10/24m contract which is £404 over the two years, but didn't have a spare £164 at that exact moment!
[Desire General] shawon007:
Hmmm, I guess we were the last of our kind to pay the lower handset cost. The next generation of buyers will have to fork out at least £60 more. :D That doesn't please me btw ;):D
[HD2 General] yes.comment:
A great idea especially for THIS forum!:)

I was just looking after QR code generators and readers when I had an idea.

So, I think everything would be easier with Qrcodes. I mean today you have to download an app/cab to your PC/MAC than copy it to your device and install it or surf to the thread (but the thread address is very long...) via your device download it and then install it. I think it s a quit long time...

Next to each apps cab there should be a QRcode within the direct download link/URL of it.

This is an example:

I want to download Opera Mobile 10. Instead of having only a cab link there should be the cab's QRcode, like this:

This way you would be able to download the app (almost) instantly instead of surfing to the thread.

For this you can use different apps:

QuickMark Reader (official site) and Mobiletag Barcodes Reader (official site) are the best apps for this.

Download QuickMark

Download MobileTag

I have also tested (on Leo) the i-nigma and Neoreader (inigma throw me an error log because of data regarding, Neoreader is not the best and it s not really touch friendly).

For QR code generation I used Kaywa's generator and ZXing's generator

Any question, remark is welcome!

Cheers
[HD2 General] yes.comment:
Here are some pictures and some explanation:

Apps icons (bottom left)

QuickMark's main screen

Here it shows the contact informations contained in the QR code. By clicking on "Telephone" a "Dialing" will appear at the bottom left soft-key and by hitting "Dialing" it will (obviously) start dialing! It happens almost the same clicking on "Email", but unfortunately it starts Outlook...

"Options" shows up the option menu within you can save the contact by clicking on "New Contact", you can also see/copy the complete text of the QR code with the "View Text" option.

QuickMark is unable (in free version) to interpret mail-address QR codes...

...as it says you have to upgrade to be able to use this feature

Here is a simple QR code containing a phone number, hitting "Dialing" it will start the call

Here is the content of an URL QR code, hitting "Access" the app will start a webbrowser by default IE, but you can change it to Opera in the main screen under "Options" (bottom right soft-key)

Here you can the the options you can choose for URLs

This is MobileTag main screen, as you can see you have to hit the screen to star the camera

This a contact information QR code, with MobileTag you can even edit the informations before saving

Nor MobileTag support "mailto" QR codes

"Do you want to call this number?"

This is what shows up when decoding simple text QR codes

You can't set up the default browser in MobileTag, when decoding URL QR codes it instantly starts IE

If you have internet or data connection you will see this screen when reading a normal 1D bar code

If the app find the product via internet it will show its best price and where to buy it...

...and each store's price.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
question, dont you need to point the camera at the screen to scan the bar code? I do all my surfing on my hd2, maybe a selection of mirrors to get the image in front of the camera? orr would I have to save the image and import it into the scanner?
[HD2 General] yes.comment:
you just have to point the camera at the code and the app will decode it itself.:D, but if you are already surfin on your device you just have to click on the link!

and it support "bar codes" too
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
lol ahh yea, course. d'oh!

can I assume you have just discovered these barcodes? great aren't they? I stick them up all over my home town with a link to much pay per click sites. lots of phones have the app built in (eg nokia) and I get a few hits per day from them.
[HD2 General] yes.comment:
:D

no, i am not using them for clicks or whatever, i think it could be useful because i always use my PC for downloading the cabs so i use the longer way...

but with this QRcodes its (would be) really really faster!
[HD2 General] vikramdhani:
Where can i get the QR reader ?

[HD2 General] remotek:
Hello,

Here is a quick question, Do you know if it is possible, and if yes, how do i oppen ports in the WIFI ROUTER of the HD2 while im on 3G?

Oh, and whats the Router's IP Adress? (to change config.)

i have 2 Computers connected to the HD2's Wifi Router.

thanx i advance, its quite important to me!:)
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
As far as I'm aware, there isn't any ports closed/blocked by the Wifi router app.

They are most likely blocked by your network provider, if at all.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
I think he's talking of doing port mappings, for incoming connections. Not possible AFAIK.
[HD2 General] remotek:
I am trying to connect 2 computers over the HD2's router with VNC and for that i need free ports, fact is that the connection does not work, and when i tryed on a normal router with oppened ports evetything was fine, firewall is oppen to the software, IP adress matches... i even have a DNS host running... but nothing works over the HD2...

can someone help me here?
[HD2 General] l7777:
My understanding of the wifi router is that it simply starts an ad-hoc wireless network. ad-hoc networks don't have a "router" per say. All the machines simply talk directly with each other unless they have to go out to another network. A vnc connection within the network between the two computers would never talk with the HD2. If you have a firewall problem, it is probably with one or both of the computers you're trying to connect.

Unless you need to connect to the internet at the same time you're using VNC, you should simplify a little and just fire up an ad-hoc wireless network on one of the two computers you wish to connect. Then simply connect the 2nd to that network and you should be ready to go if the firewalls are properly configured on the two computers.
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Hi all,

I installed an app to SD card, tried it but didn't like it. When I went to the Remove Program facillity, this program wasn't listed. I'm assuming this is because I installed it to card. Therefore I manually deleted the folder from within Program Files on the SD card. Now, however, the icon, although greyed out, is still sitting in the Start Menu. Anyone know how I can get rid of this?
[HD2 General] Mikulec:
It doesnt matter if u install app to main memory or sd card, it should be listed in the list of installed apps. But some apps dont show up there. If u want to get rid of the icon, just go to windows/start menu folder, find the icon and delete it manualy.
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Thank you very much, so obvious I never even thought of that.
[HD2 General] Devils1stBorn:
Ok, video playback has been a little strange. First, Albums will not display another supported format outside of mpeg4. However, if I browse through WMP and get to the directory all supported formats are displayed BUT playback is not the same? Get the "buffering" prompt throughout playback time and again. Playback also appears a bit flawed through WMP while launching through albums is perfect.
[HD2 General] Devils1stBorn:
does anyone have any reason why?
[HD2 General] Devils1stBorn:
Would like to refresh this thread as I still wonder why I can't get the same video codec support through Albums?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] LevitateJay:
Okay I'm stuck...

I've seen screen shots on page 88 and page 90 of the post your screenshots thread that have home screens with icons with no text labels underneath...

I've tried doing this with BetterCut but I can only set the label to " " a single space that still puts the little label box... I simply want just the icon and no text or little label box beneath it... How can I do this! :confused:

Sorry I know there are other threads about this sort of thing but I've searched and read through them all and its been no help!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Search HelixLauncher2 thread and install the latest version. That has the option to remove text from icons on homescreen. Other than that...i don't know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Thesxemike:
Only problem for me is that it does not remove the text from anything but Apps. Any of my BetterCut shortcuts have the text still, same with widgets
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jrbourque:
you have to go into options of the launcher and set it to take away the text
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Thesxemike:
Haha damn just overlooked that completely. Worked but beautiful widgets still have their text :-( I can deal with that
