(Looking For) WM6 Today Screen Facebook & Twitter Status Update Field - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Didn't know if this was the best place to put this or not, but I'm looking for an app that will allow me to enter my Facebook and Twitter status without having to open up a full program, just by typing it all in the today screen field. Think Skyfire's "Update My Status" function but on the today screen like how the optional search bar field works.
I have a 2nd today screen on my Rhodium that I use to manage a few apps that aren't TF3D friendly, and have room for a few short lines for me to type my status into Facebook and Twitter while on the go. I like how Skyfire has the options to globally change status on both FB and Twit at the same time, so if you know of something that will do that, please point me in the right direction! I've heard about the Twitter tab for TF3D, but would rather update status through FB instead of through Twit because of the 140 character limits.
All help on this subject, including how you currently update your status quickly without having to load Skyfire or enter in a mobile browswer or through texts, would be greatly appreciated!

here is a solution for twitter : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/06/16/twittoday-15-post-twitter-tweets-from-windows-mobile-today-screen.html.. If u find a solution for Facebook ..let me know

that is PERFECT for Twitter, wow, exactly what I was looking for.... and like you said, now to find one that does Facebook as well! I've seen people link their FB and Twit status, is that something to look into and just use this for quick, 140 character updates?
EDIT - that only works for those who don't have "protected" Twitter accounts.... oh well!

BINGO! I knew if I kept searching I would eventually find it....

Just used TwitToday and updated my status on Facebook, even though my tweets are protected on Twitter! Nice.........

Okay, in case anyone is wondering why Facebook SUCKS at updating Twitter status....... get rid of it altogether and use Yakket:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=48449043052
Worked on the first try and my Twitter status is protected. Doesn't take 30mins to an hour to update like the stupid Twitter app on Facebook does, and even Tweeter didn't work for me. Was so tired of having to wait for status updates that are time-sensitive to post on FB using Twitter, and this works!!! Thought I'd pass on the good news!

CycHowdy Messenger
You can try the CycHowdy Messenger that I just posted...

great
Those are great tools but I would like to see an app that actually provide me some updates as well. Something like Android does with facebook.
Is there any application like this ?
I was wondering if samsung wiz would allow something like that...

T9 Dialer

I just purchased aTAKEphONE T9 dialer and I think it is so much better than the one from SE.
It has a T9 dialer, detailed call logs, etc. Love it.

Can't find it in the market with my SE X10 mini unbrandet.
I have used aContacts which is also very good. But I found a bug which fails to invoke the call log screen occassionally. Otherwise both these apps are good and way ahead of the default dialler+phonebook combined together.
ATakephone was also not found by me in the market (People says it depends on country you stay - infact none of the buyable apps are shown in my country in India).
Partha
Couldn't find it in the Market so downloaded it straight from the site, shsh dot com (not allowed to post URLs as a "newbie" - hack, I joined this site in 2005!)
I used TAKEphONE on my Treo's and loved it, but didn't really have a need for it on my G1. As the dialer of the Mini Pro is crap (am I missing something or are the Contacts really entirely separated from it?), I figured going back to my old friend Shimon and his app would be worth a try.
So far I am very impressed. The only two complaints are that the help pop ups are too long and can't be scrolled, and that the i-bar Favorites images are displayed on top of the Last Call bar. No showstoppers but I've informed the developer of these two.

Timescape Extensions (ie Plugins)

Hey, I thought it would be good to have a thread with discussions on Timescape plugins (for those of us that may still be using Timescape). Kinda OT, but does anyone know what's involved to create a timescape extension for the gmail app? It would be great if it could use gmail instead of the crappy original app.
I noticed today that SE uploaded a couple new extensions for Timescape and an app to search for these extensions (more like a link to the marketplace but for Timescape and Mediascape): Linkedin and Foursquare.
Not to mention that there was a Spotify beta extension last November.
I've yet to try out the linkedin extention and don't use Foursquare. I wonder if these extensions are compatible between the old Timescape and the new timescape showing up on the Arc?
were can i find the "app to search for these extensions"

It's called "Extension Search". A marketplace search for that should turn it up. Or do a search for "timescape" and everything will show up.
I would also love to see a gmail plugin. Originally SE said that they would release the SDK for timescape plugins, but they never did.
The LinkendIn plugin works pretty wel and integrates nicely into the phonebook like the standard Facebook and Twitter feeds from Timescape. Unfortunatly, the plugin also shows all new connections ("mr A got connected to mr B"), so not all info is really interesting.
Foursquare plugin shows nothing. When I first installed, it downloaded all the checkins, and seemed to work alright. Thereafter... nothing, just a single timescape flipcard with the title foursquare -- but nothing else. Reinstalled, even wiped timescape clean, nothing.
Anyone else notice this?
Hey sorry for bumping an old thread but now that the sdk is out we can make plugings .....hope some development will try

[Q] Twitter disabled yet "tpd" process still consumes battery?

Firstly I have a HTC one S, stock, not rooted.
I have disabled everything twitter related, however, in better battery stats, the process "tpd" is still showing and using a fair bit of my battery, does anyone know what is going on and how to truly disable twitter?

I have snowstorm and sense weather syncing every few hours and gmail push as usual, I haven't got anything else syncing.
Disabled most of sense apps apart from gallery, dialer/people, messaging, weather and a few other things.
I don't know for sure but I would guess you haven't disabled Twitter completely. There's got to be some app that's still running in the background. You need to root your phone and start uninstalling things.
Thanks for the reply
Everything that I can see related to twitter is disabled.
- twitter
- twitter for HTC sense
- TwitterAPIEngine
Is there anything else I should be looking for?
I have also disabled all the sense friends stream stuff.
Really don't want to root my phone just yet.
Try downloading Watchdog Lite from the Play Store. This app shows you which apps are using the most CPU cycles (and therefore consuming the most power). This could maybe allow you to identify which app this "tpd" process is associated with. (Having said that, BetterBatteryStats does usually show the app name as well as the process name, as you can see in the other entries in your screenshot, so if BBS couldn't identify it, Watchdog might not either. But the Lite version is of course free, so you may as well try it)
Ok thanks for the suggestion, will give that a shot and see
Just got a reply from someone else there regarding this and this is what he said:
It looks like tdp is just a system process betterbatterystats hasn't recognised, like surfaceflinger but added by HTC or just a new ICS process. (the PID is 0?)
If you look under Settings>Power>Battery use>Android System>included packages it can be one of those.
All the twitter related stuff will start off as something like com.htc.engine.twitter or com.twitter.Android in betterbatterystats. TDP is also a 3rd party twitter app last updated in 2010, that's probably where the twitter link came from?

And I just checked there and this is what comes under "android system":
As well as system UI being listed there.
I will email the developer of better battery stats to see what the "tpd" process is.

[Help] Google Search widget not showing news feed anymore

Hey guys,
For 2 weeks already, I have a problem with the Google Search Bar widget on my S9+.
Before:
Whenever I've clicked on the search bar, a news feed with my interests would have been shown
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now:
Whenever I'm clicking the search bar, a search history is opening and at the bottom I have a "blue house" logo. If I click on that house, it will take me to the news feed I'm asking for.
The problem is that, showing the news is no longer direct and now has 0 commodity. Whenever I want to check Google News I need to press the search bar, then the blue house etc...
Is there a way to roll back to how it was before? Anyone having my issue?
What I've tried so far:
1. Clear Google Now Cache
2. Clear Google Now Data
3. Disable/Enable Google Now
4. Re-install the app/updates
5. Remove/Re-add the widget
6. Looking through Google Settings, noting found.
Please help me out, I will appreciate.
Hi Rasherr, I have the same issue. It seems that Google decides to hide more and more useful features of Google now behind menus or buttons making it harder to reach them. This makes no sense.
I get the feeling that Google either:
1) wants to hide the amount of information gathered due to recent privacy schandals (Facebook)
or
2) wants to move all the useful Google now features to Google assistant and is preparing for phasing out and eventually removing Google now.
Just my 2 cents
This worked for me....
The same problem was driving me insane! As lazy as it sounds I don't want to have to keep typing out the same search!! So here's what I did that fixed the problem for me.... in the Google app under accounts and privacy, go to manage activity I think it was (I had to dig around a bit and play with search settings too, but the final result was "do not use private results" was checked. Once I checked use private results instead I went back into the app and it's working just like it used to! I hope this helps sorry I couldn't give more detail!
Hey do you have any more details on how you did this? I looked around manage activity and could only find 'do not use private results' on my pc and I was already set to use private results. No idea where it is in the app... Do you have any more info?

How can I suppress Whatsapp toast "user is online"?

Hi, I solved this in the past but recenly I had to install again whatsapp on the same phone, and I can't remember how to do that. Also, I can't find anything in internet.
I have an annoying popup (I think it's called toast notification) that shows me an user come online. This doesn't happen often, but it does, and it does also when I?m not in whatsapp. For my privacy I don't want the people looking at my screen notify my contacts, how can I remove it?
It is something like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Found it ? Normally you can adjust this completely in the settings of the app.
Settings on stock ROM's and custom ROM's can differ a lot.
And ... always look to the version of the WhatsApp app ... there are very ofter updates.
Installation is usually via Google Play, although not necessary.
Hi, thanks for answer, I?m using the same version I had before, after reinstalling I got them. As I wrote this problem was present in the past, but somehow I've found where to disable them/somebody somewhere suggested me or I've read it, I can't find more such information.
It can be inside Whatsapp settings, it can be on anroid permission fot this app, I can't find it! I've searched anywhere. I would love to never receive toast notifications in amy app, not interesting for me, these is a way to disable them at all?
It's a pity whatsapp wasting my phone battery comunicating always with the server telling me who is online, I don't get a f* about that, and also I hate somebody follow me if I'm online or not! Killing my privacy!
I have whatsapp plus and I've selected "tell others I'm always online" I hope it works
No ideas where I can find this toast notification?

Your problem interested us here....there are not that many people who still use Whatsapp Plus.
There's a reason.
The Google playstore banned it from its repository. They could no longer guarantee the safety of the app. (No wonder that you could not install it from Play Store.)
I can't say whether your problem stems from this, but you might ask yourself what the
advantages of Plus are and whether they outweigh the disadvantages.
Why not just use the latest official Whatsapp ? This has already been improved a lot
and these improvements are being worked on daily.
Greetings and take care ....
thank you a lot for your support, I appreciate. As I wrote it was working good, then I had to put out my simcard to another phone and activate whatsapp there, when I've placed it back I needed to reinstall whatsapp and it misses now that setting. I was able to suppress it in the past, but I don't remember how. There shoulld be a way..
I need this to check the removed messages, and to filter my privacy only to the right persons. Whatsapp doesn't help about that, so I'll keep on this
