I'm constantly switching between Tweetdeck beta and Twicca. The main reason I like Tweetdeck (aside from the cool interface) is when I want to send a tweet, I can choose recipient from a dropdown list of all the people I follow (though can't see their profile pics yet..hope that changes) Twicca has an auto-complete for it I think but I don't always remember names to type but do know who they are when I see names and pics.

Really wish Twicca would add this capability. I used to use Echofone on my iPhone and this was THE BEST feature of all the apps. Hopefully with time the Android apps will start to get the polishing of the iPhone apps.

Update: 2 minutes later!

After reading about Tweetcaster here and other places I decided to try it and lo and behold is has the follower list I loved and craved! This in itself does it for me. Not sure it's worth $4.99 just for no ads though! :p

Another 2 min. update: Hmm....Tweetcaster doesn't seem to display follow status under a user's profile. Anyone else have this issue? I like to see if someone is following me or unfollowed.
[Android Apps and Games] audioscience:
How was this not one of the options???
[Android Apps and Games] Casbah:
True I should think Touiteur would have been a poll option, even if I kept having the thing restart on mine. :p
[Android Apps and Games] NexuSix:
LauncherPro Plus Twitter App is the best I have found yet (Use to use Touiteur exclusively)

EDIT: after using the Official Twitter App I find it quite possibly better then both the above I am impressed that Twitter has come out with such a nice default App, much better then what tumblr has done.

Touiteur. Has insane amount of features, shortening of links, old RT and new RT, autofill, and about everything else I can think of. Tried the official Twitter app, looks very nice but needs more features.

Will give Tweetdeck a try later on, when its out of beta.
[Android Apps and Games] Casbah:
One thing I don't like about Touiteur is that it doesn't display the profile image with a list of people to choose to send a tweet to. I remember pics better than names and when I'm doing follows of multiple peeps, it's easier to click on each image than have to remember their names. Add this and I'll be there. Until then it's back and forth between Tweetdeck beta and Twicca for now.

After using Touiteur I found it perfect to my liking.
[Android Apps and Games] marquisdee1018:

TweetDeck by far.

[Android Apps and Games] Casbah:
Got a reply from Tweetdeck about the profile picture issue where I asked them about the pics not being displayed alongside the usernames (why can't SOMEONE make a good twitter app that brings up Pics AND Usernames in alphabetical order that allow you to click and select them as a recipient????):

Ummm Richard, there are several apps that display profile pics along with usernames. Though NOTHING like Echofone for iPhone unfortunately. Truthfully I rely on a combination of name and picture to remember people, especially when I'm doing follows..

Nope. Touchwiz doesn't allows rotation. You can install LanucherPro or other home launcher for rotation support, but there's no way to do this in TW launcher.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjoheg:
Hello all!

First of all, I have to say that the Desire is to me, a wonderful piece of equipment. I really liked unboxing it, setting it up and fiddeling with its functions, however there are a couple of things that quirck me.

I would very much like to be able to map a networkdrive from my home server (Debian Lenny via SAMBA) or from my laptop (Windows 7 professional). I know I can use EStrongs File Explorer or Astro File Manager to access these locations and copy files to the phone, but this is not the approach I would like to use. I would prefer to stream them. Is this possible at the moment, and if so, what software will make this possible. Preferably without rooting the device.

I currently also own a Nokia N900 where I use Wizard Mounter (to mount my SAMBA shares) and KMplayer (a graphical frontend for mplayer) to play my videos. Can this be so hard to replicate on the Android platform?

On a sidenote; Is there any way to adjust the wireless properties to increase power to recieve a better signal from my wifi. This can also be done on my N900 (at the cost of poorer batterfy of course).

regards

bjoheg

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MightyChigger:
Hey folks, I was hoping you could help me with this one. I recently updated my droid incredible, rooted and installed the original Froyo Leak posted on xdadevelopers(I also ran v.5 of the patch). My question is now that I have froyo will I still get the same kind of app update notifications that I used to receive in 2.1? I have been running 2.2 for 4 days and haven't received any. Please let me know.

Thanks a Million!

[Vibrant Accessories] user1307:
Hello fellow XDAers! I've had my Vibrant for almost 2 weeks so I figured its about time I get a case to protect my phone. Question is there are a lot of choices out there so I wanted to poll y'all and see what material you prefer your cases to be made of and why. What differences would make you prefer A over B?

To my knowledge the main ones I see are; plastic, rubber, polycarbonate, silicon, and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane).

And yes, I've already looked through google and wiki but nothing beats user feedback! Thanks all!
[Vibrant Accessories] STi489:
Most seem to like TPU.
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
indeed. tpu is the ****. under four dollars shipped on ebay for a smoked grey tpu case with a neat hexagonal pattern on the back?

you cant beat that!

if i could get one of those "silk touch" silicone cases for cheap i might change my mind, but they're pretty expensive and i'm not willing to buy something like that without seeing and feeling it first.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netdudeuk:
I've picked up the Galaxy S so many times it's untrue. I like the screen and the speed and the open environment. I've very tempted to buy one SIM free and unlocked.

But ... and this isn't a troll ... I've read many comments about the GPS being unreliable and inaccurate (and that it locks up) and at £400 ($620 US) I'd need to be sure that it's going to work. For me, having access to the GPS is one of the best features now that locational services are expanding rapidly.

I've got an N95 which has lasted me for about three years and is still IMHO a good phone. I've also got an iPhone 3G that, really, feels too slick. Too sickly. Of course, their store is good. IOS4 also seems to have made it a dog performance wise.

I know that there are apparently hundreds of thousands of these so I'd expect to see adverse comments but given that Samsung is said to be offering a 'fix' soon, it seems like there really is an issue.

My N95 has lasted a long time and if I buy another premium phone it will need to do the same. I wonder if I should go for it or wait to see what the reputed HTC Desire HD has to offer in a few weeks time ? If it has the larger screen and double LED flash it could be a real winner if the price is right (not more than £450).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jausse:
It won't last that long. The build quality is awful. I've had mine one month and the home button is already showing signs of wear. My N95 is still fine compared to this and my iPhone 3G is much better quality. I really regret buying this phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netdudeuk:
It does feel very flimsy but I've been telling myself that instead, it's 'light' ;)

I still like the N95. I think that it still feels so good because Nokia did such a good job all that time ago - wi-fi, GPS, amazing camera resolution and lens, 3G, front-facing camera, etc, etc.

TBH, I've also looked at the iPhone 4. We've already bought one and yet again, the screen is dreamy and it's very fast with good apps but as a programmer in a former life, I've started to learn Java and have been playing with the Android SDK. I've only scratched the surface and I'm really quite excited about how much of the system resources are easily accessed with the APIs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] srkonus:
Hi,

i also thinking about to buy the galaxy 9000. The other phone is the HTC Desire.

The Desire has Android 2.2, the Galaxy the better display but maybe a GPS problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netdudeuk:
I should also have added that, I reckon, being a more recent device, the new (all speculation, of course) HTC Desire HD could end up with OS updates beyond those for the Samsung. Maybe those who know the companies better than me would disagree though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] srkonus:
Sorry, but my englis is not the best one. Can you repeat your answer in more easier english?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
It's always nice practice to just lay it all out and weigh all the pros and cons of each device. That's what I did and I listed to much PROS in favor of the SGS. I'm not much of a GPS user anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nirvana388:
The GPS issues have been quite overstated and only really apply to aGPS when satellites are unavailable because you are either indoors or in a large city with buildings everywhere. They also only really effected the US models, and not the international I9000 or the Canadian version. I bought the first one when the store opened on launch day and I have not had any problems whatsoever with the GPS, it works pefectly, much better than the GPS on my old first gen galaxy and my gf's htc magic. Note that I am also running the original firmware.

Also, the aGPS problem for the US Galaxies has been figured out and mostly fixed by Samsung, I believe a couple of the models might still be waiting on a firmware update in Sept that will fix it for good. So I wouldn't let the GPS sway you, most people that are having problems are just not smart enough to enable the aGPS (it is disabled by default). Always take online rants with a grain of salt as often it is just the person doing something wrong.

As far as this phone vs the Desire?

CPU/GPU: Faster on the Galaxy (GPU is claimed to be up to 3x faster)

Screen: Flat out win for the galaxy, no comparison

Video: Galaxy = 720p, to my knowledge the desire does 480, possibly 720 with froyo?

Vid Output: Galaxy= HDMI, Composite, DLNA, Desire = none, maybe composite through 3.5mm jack?

Keyboard: Swype>Sense Keybo

Front Cam: Galaxy=Yes, Desire=No

Storage: Galaxy 16GB, Desire 0.5GB

Bluetooth: Galaxy = 3.0, Desire = 2.1

Wifi: Galaxy = N Desire = G

The Desire having 2.2 is not really a plus as the Galaxy is getting it next month and unofficial roms are already out.

The only positives I can find for the desire is the camera flash and I guess a matter of taste if you like it's design over the Galaxy, the Galaxy is a fair bit thinner though, and not much larger overall considering the screen size difference. You could say the camera flash is an advantage for the Desire, but the night mode works quite well on the Galaxy and if you've ever seen a pic taken with a mobile phone w/ led flash at night you'll know that it really doesn't help much anyways. It is more useful as a flashlight. I was dead set on the desire before the galaxy was announced, and Samsung easily changed my mind.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] siddspain:
I had a N95 for 6 months. It just stopped working. They told me I had wet the thing. I hadn't. They told me I probably had it in the bathroom when showering, and the vapor could wet the thing. That I don't remember.

I like the sgs phone so far, and my gps works pretty ok and I never flashed any rom.

I'm loving this phone. I have a macbook pro and still like apple's computers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Signs of wear on the home button? Do you mean light scratches? Scratches are unavoidable when you have shiny surface. The old iPods scratch ridiculously easily.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jausse:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] doop:
I was also on the fence about buying a SGS. all this talk of bad build finish and inferior plastics is being hyped by the FEW not the many . Jausse`s link has Bad and good reviews so using that as corroboration is just nonsense . My contract is nearly up and I have spent the last month looking at reviews , videos and forums to help me decide wether to buy the SGS or the Desire and the SGS IMHO wins hands down. I`ll get the other half a desire as she loves sense Ui and thats the only reason I won`t be getting 2. One final thing the SGS has gorilla glass which means the screen is as tough as a phone screen can get. http://www.corning.com/news_center/news_releases/2010/2010082301.aspx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tarantula78:
I bought the galaxy and I fine the phone amazing... What is wrong with the galaxy can be fixed by firmware updates unlike other phones you have to put up with it... Come september I'll have 2.2 on here and no gps issues (not that I've had any to begin with) here is where the phone is lacking: decent voip solution and decent middle east gps software. Both are software issues and can be fixed as for the build I've had mine about a month too and there are no marks on it the screen is not scratched even slightly and the home button is perfect I don't know how you managed to damage it in one month :s

This is my opinion and I've been using it very very intensely with wifi mms bluetooth (with headset too) developing apps calls tonnes of app usage too till now everything is working wonderfully
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
iPhones get their home button's scratched up too, along with almost every other phone. It's a button though. Does it really affect your usability? It's time people start asking themselves what they wish to do with their device though, and how they use it. The back is strong (despite being plastic), and the touch panel is scratch resistant too. And yes, seen plenty of scratched up iPhones.

Why should you care how the home button looks? If the appearance of your phone affects your pride or your chances of picking up, perhaps you need to think things through, or you should buy the HTC legend instead..

I don't think whether the plastic gets scratches says ANYTHING about the quality used (besides, only the button and back seem to be plastic). Either way, the back can be replaced easily, so that's irrelevant, and unless you suspect the button will be destroyed by scratching, I don't think it will affect many people. So personally, whether the button scratches wouldn't affect my decision personally.. But that is just an opinion.

But I'd agree, you aren't trolling.. And people need to stop confusing trolling and negative opinions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nirvana388:
I've had mine for almost a month and there is no sign of wear or scratches whatsoever. Not sure what you're expecting as plastic will scratch, but there are numerous youtube videos demonstrating the durability of the screen. The home button may not be covered with the same gorilla glass so if you're keeping the phone in pockets with keys and change, it will get scratched. However I take relatively good care of mine and it has no scratches on the front or the back, I keep it in my pocket and set it on a variety of surfaces.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] netdudeuk:
Thanks for the comprehensive reply :) I honestly got all stoked up again when you said that the the GPS issue only really affected the US models so I did a Google for 'Samsung Galaxy S GPS UK' to clarify that and guess what I saw. Yes, the same issue for over here :mad:

Just be careful, remember that radio flashes will have 2 reboots, and it may look like it's stuck or doing nothing. Be patient and let it finish running. Never interrupt a radio flash and all will be well!
