I use Ubersocial for Android.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I use Seesmic. Twitter, Facebook (which I don't use), and salesforce(most won't use that part) There are no ads unlike tweetcaster or ubersocial.


A couple tidbits that I'm surprised didn't get into this thread:

ICS Camera for all

Google Market is Now Google Play and introduces 49 Cent "Play of the Day"

I've only used the Nexus. If camera isn't important its what I would recommend.

Yeah some decent apps in that sale. Pocket League Story is worth it if you all haven't played. Not a big mobile gamer, but fun. And if CalenGoo wasn't the greatest calendar already I'd probably use BusinessCalendar.

Half of these were $0.10 apps earlier, so some probably purchased before.

Man, I have always settled on Seesmic even though I don't have a FB. Twicca is aiight. Just wish there was one super app that had all te good stuff from the others. Uber and Plume seemed like worthy options. I dunno. Android, in a nutshell.

Unfortunately my only choices where stratosphere or droid 4. I guess the droid 4 should have enough power, but I hate the slider and the size because of it.

Finally...

I have been waiting forever for my HTC Rezound to get ICS. When I had originally purchased it the specs were better on this phone compared to the Galaxy SII but the big problem was it didnt have ICS yet. And beginning of next year has turned into March. But I am patient because i'll eventually get it. And well the free 100 dollar dre beats headphones didn't hurt my decision back then either lol

You can have ICS now, no more waiting!

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Tweetcaster for Android is by far the best. Scheduled tweets, edit retweets, great picture viewer that allows you to download the picture with a click, can save drafts of tweets and edit them later.

Moneyball is $0.25 on Google Market (Play?) Books...

Started reading it last night, great deal if you've never read it....I DL'ed Google Books on my iPad so just like if I was reading a Nook or Kindle book on there...

[PlusTheHarm]

Tweetcaster always seemed legit, but the appearance always bugged me. Sorta 'toony,' or something like that.

I swear after upgrading Plume it really smoothed itself out, LOL probably a placebo, but should've checked it out before. Wouldn't be the first time I bought an app I never used down the line. Always just wanted an inverted Seesmic, had an inverted Twitter but the app just sucks. Plume has taken the cake for now. Should have probably gone pro before counting it out.

If you are looking for a good tethering app, for the non-rooted users out there. FoxFi is available. I am using it right now just to test it out on my stock Nexus, its pretty fast and the best part? It does the tethering at no cost to you!

Does anyone have a guide they've used to root a Samsung Galaxy S2 of the Sprint variety and a ROM they'd suggest? If so, I'd appreciate it!

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

So I'm due for an upgrade (have been since October) and I'm trying to save some money for the Galaxy Nexus, but now the Blackberry I've been using in place of my original Droid won't charge anymore. How big of a stepback is the CHARGE from the Nexus, cause I might just have to get a free phone for my upgrade.
