So far I've tried
Twicca
Twidroyd
Twitter (official)
I'm currently using Twicca but I'm not sure if I'm completely in love with it yet, nor any of the other two. I feel like I was spoiled by Echofon on the iPhone.
My favorites are Seesmic and Tweetcaster. I'm currently liking TweetCaster a little bit better.
I use Touiteur. I have tried the official twitter app and twitdroid but like Touiteur best.
Tuiteur, hands down... Amazing developer, tons of options, nice ui, preview of pics, all the services you expect, long press on a tweet to open links... On and on...
Only con is the name (french developer)... I always butcher the spelling.
I'm a bit of a twitter newbie, but I prefer the official one.

I like Tweetdeck, even in its beta form.
I just tweet, RT and send direct messages..got that i use an old app called "Twidgit"
it runs only as a widget, its free but its not on the market anymore.
if you need something light on the resources, you should try that.
TweetDeck takes all even in beta form hands down!
+1 For Tweetdeck, great app. The UI is plain and kinda fugly and I'm hoping for a widget but it works the best out of any app I've used.
Touiteur for me..has the best widget

It was Touiteur for me, but I'm a fan of Tweetdeck on my PC and it looks like they are gonna take my Android slot as well.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using the XDA app.
here's another vote for Touiteur
I'm about 50/50 on the Tweetdeck beta and Touiteur. Used Touiteur for 6-8 months, best of all I tried - when the Tweetdeck beta came out I started using that for a bit, but at the moment I'm back to Touiteur.
I like Tweetcaster a lot, and didn't like the official Twitter app, Twydroid, or Tweetdeck.
Here's my dilemma.
Between 8 and 5pm, I don't get a signal while at work so I don't check twitter. so I check it in the morning, and then after work, usually 9-10 hours between checking. On my old iPhone, I used an app called Tweetie and I loved it. It would remember my last read tweet in my timeline, and would load all new tweets on top of it, so I could simply scroll UP from my last read tweet and see all the subsequent new ones, in a nice neat sequential order from oldest to newest as I scrolled from bottom to top.
What I hate about all the other twitter apps I've used on Android so far is that I can't find one that works in the same manner as Tweetie. With Tweetcaster, given how long I go without checking tweets I have to "Load More" at least twice, and then it auto-scrolls to the very top and shows the newest tweet. I then have to scroll down to the last tweet I read, find the correct spot, and then work my way up. I find it annoying.
Tweetdeck Beta had an option called "Remember my place in Timeline" or something like that, but it never worked.
HELP ME

I have used gReader pro and the free version on my vibrant. Both are really slow especially while updating. My phone usually hangs in the middle of updating this app for feeds. The developer says that vibrant users need to use lag fix to correct the problem. How do I go about solving this problem.
gReader
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-noinnion-android-greader-reader-jmEip.aspx
Any inputs? Thanks
I am not sure how to fix your issue, but google has their own reader app in the market now. You could try that. Sorry I cant be more of a help.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant running 2.2 with a gingerbread theme.
I have used the official google app for google reader as well. As a matter of fact I still have it installed...but like the gReader app better due to its interactive interface and small size font which enables me to see more feeds on the screen. Also the official app uses external browser to fully read a feed which I dislike.
if the official one is performing better, the app must be bogged down. complain in the market, or email the developer of the app. they do listen most of the time. you might get results in an update.
edit: and by complain, I mean report your problem in a respectful manner.
I went from gReader to the official Google Reader app and I love the official much more. NewsRob isn't my favorite either. I'd suggest trying the official one for a bit and seeing how you like it. I'm a huge RSS fan so this was my own personal solution.
for all of the lag fixes and oc and all that i've tried, the number one solution for speeding up performance of apps like this (that use a lot of memory operations to /data) is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727279
i use method 1 listed there and it works perfectly, i do it every time. do have to watch space, but it works well.
Since my phone is unrooted and my ignorance to these technicalities, I starts using the official Google reader app and im loving it in just a day.
Thanks.

I liked neither apps so I've been using FeedR from the market. It's fast and allows offline reading to a degree. Even though it's not free, it's inexpensive and totally worth it IMO. It reads straight from the Google Reader website. If you've already got your RSS feeds setup there, it can just import them after you login. I'd say try it for 24 hours and refund it if you don't like it. Before anyone asks, no I'm not the developer or of any affiliation.
Lag fix should fix that problem, try it.

I do have to bounce back to stock rarely as firefox is still in beta testing... but it is pretty solid.

I wish stock could delete cache, cookies, history, passwords, and etc when exiting like dolphin. You don't need possibly embarrassing things popping up when you're entering a URL and your old lady is standing next to you.
Dolphin HD. I like the home button, gestures and the bookmark setup of this browser. I also like opera mini mostly for the way the startup/bookmarks page works.
I think Mozilla Firefox or Dolphin Browser HD would be good for the Speedy. I mean it is a "HD" Phone right?
Comign from steel (the most minimalistic browser ever) I don't need any fancy stuff, just quick and functional. Bookmarks, flash, and such. I am more looking for sleek.

I use the stock 2.2 browser now, but before that I tried them all. Dolphin was my favorite, but it seemed slow. I think you might would like xScope, but its a paid app. There is a trial though. https://market.android.com/details?id=sui.m
Had Dolphin and Dolphin HD on my hero but then went back to stock because the hero just wasn't powerful enough for dolphin. Just recently switched back to Dolphin HD on my Shift. Seems faster than the stock browser.

Dolphin HD is absolutely amazing. It's atleast as fast as stock, easier to switch from desktop to mobile view, and it will delete history on exit. And you can make flash on demand (and flash plays in browser) win!

I regularly delete all forms of history from my phone, laptops, and PC. It has nothing to do with being an adult and more to do with getting rid of automatically filled in information, cookies, etc. Information that advertisers use when tracking across web sites and that other people can use if the device is stolen and lost.

You can change the timing on updates. Mine was defaulted to only update when charging when I installed, and to only check every 6 hours.
So far, I think currents blows pulse away. Time will tell.
I never used the Andriod version of Pulse... didn't to pay for it.
I thought the iPad version allowed you to add your own RSS feeds...
Hopefully Google builds in the functionality to sync or import Reader feeds.

the ability to add feeds from Google Reader is already there (add, scroll down to "Google Reader") :S
what i find shocking (or loling) is that you can't mark items as read, just like on Pulse, which makes both apps nothing more than eye candy, or only useful for people who just want a cursory glance at what's happening in the world and aren't really concerned about content
In case you haven't noticed lately the average attention span for media users these days appears to be about half that of the common fruit fly, so eye candy is exactly what most apps are trying to achieve.

Overall I'm liking it better than Pulse. To me, Pulse is better at updating the feeds you add manually, that arent already there from their selection of content.
For me, these feeds in Google Currents, updating a bit slower regardless of how often I set it to update to.
For example, I read ProPublica. On Friday at 6 pm. I updated the ProPublica app, as well as add it to my Pulse and Currents feed.
The app showed 4 new articles posted on Friday. Pulse had all of these available , while Currents only had the first two articles of that day.
Later on that evening, when I checked again, Currents had all 4 posts from Friday
I am noticing that more as well, even when I manually check for updates. I still like the layout of currents better, but when I am bored with nothing to read, I still find myself going to pulse when my currents aren't updating.
I've tried everything : flashing Honeycomb, CM9, AOKP and now official 4.0.4. Never had timeline on my SGT 10.1
The facebook app looks like crap in my SGT 10.1 , I cannot use it in landscape mode because the photos in the news feed are half showed and of course no timeline.
on my SGS 2 the app is working fine : timeline, landscape and portrait are switching just fine. So please please how can I fix this?
Here is two screenshots from my tab and phone
Badger Facebook to make the a tablet version of the app. They do on iOS. The current app just wont do it, youre better off going to http://m.facebook.com in a browser for the time being.

So everyone with Galaxy Tabs has this stupid version of facebook?
Yes. Some idiot at Facebook decided to give the finger to Android tablet owners and remove the previous optimization. It's formatted for phones only now which it why it looks like garbage. Use the website. It works just fine.
No full screen photos in website mode, and also a little bit slow than the Facebook app. Those Facebook stupid people shouldn't breathe

I have this problem too. Am on PA 0.5 and it was working without any problems then one day I realized that the layout had reverted to the old version.

Looks like there is yet to be a solution for this.

If you use FB app in portrait mode it's a little better layout, but not much.
Friendcaster has an awesome UI and I like it, but it doesn't pick up all my friends' posts. Apparently if they have set their privacy settings to block 3rd party apps, Friendcaster can't recognize any of their posts.
I still go back to the browser version. I was using the regular FB page through the browser but it was SOOOOOO slow. The mobile page is much better. Maybe some day they will come out with a tablet app...
I just found FAST for Facebook. It's in Beta but impressive so far.

I've tried the 1.9.0 the 1.9.2 , today I've updated to the latest 1.9.8 Same old stupid interface.
Sadly I have minimal to zero knowledge about how to modify .apk`s but I think if we could somehow ``tell`` to the facebook app that is not running on a tablet but let's say on a galaxy nexus or s2, s3 (you name it) this should do the trick. So, how to mod facebook to ``think`` that is running on a phone not a tablet?
it is a TERRIBLE app
In my household there is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an ASUS Transformer Prime. The Facebook app looks just fine on the ASUS, as if it's been optimized, but I get the same result you do when using the Tab. It's REALLY frustrating, and will hopefully get resolved if enough of us pester the app maker. I've left an updated review for each iteration, and I see TONS of Tab owners complaining about the app in the reviews.
After a quick search I've found that if you change the build.prop to other tab ( or phone ) the facebook app might work. The problems are : I don't know how to that. Will this have an impact on the installed apps?.
Timelines seem to be working now. Fb must of changed the code on their end. Can only view in portrait mode really, its doesnt scale right in landscape. At least you can access peoples photos, about etc tabs now too.

Edit: and its gone back again. No more timelines.!
A friend of mine as an Allview Tab wich is half the price of the Galaxy Tab, has an HD resolution and guess what? Facebook app is working perfect, just like on my phone, so **** *** Samsung for doing some great devices but forgets some small things like this, wich is kind of sad.
I got a GT-P3100 (Samsung Tab II ) with CM10nightly and still face this problem ...
I when I have the time I will try to change the product Id of the tab to see if it works. Anyway F*** y** Samsung.

i like stock browser but what i don't like its slow unstable.
Heck my tablet shutdown usualy like once a day if unlucky and i'm not even sure what the cause is.
I've tried out several browsers myself ..
Actually I've installed chrome beta, UC browser HD, Stock and Opera.
The list changes times to times, but only one (3rd party) stays installed OPERA.
For me it's actually the best one, specially in two aspect: downloads management and web page support (last experience was by managing drop box list in a train company website...)
Also try Puffin Browser. Its pretty cool on tab s

Thanks for posting the suggestion. I installed UC HD last night and gave it a test spin for several minutes. So far I do like it better than stock or Dolphin or Maxthon (both frequently shut down and dump me back to the tablet desktop). So far UC HD seems to perform well with no random crashing. Time will tell, >Maxthon seemed stable for awhile also. The one thing I do like very much about UC HD is the scrolling arrows in the lower right corner of the screen. I think that really helps navigating the web page and reduces the tendency for false finger presses on links you didn't mean to "click" on.
Thanks again :good:
2/4/2013-Thought I would update with my experience so far with UC Browser. Since posting the above I have used UC HD for browsing the web, checking e-mail and just general usage. Initially, all seemed great with no problems until the last two days or so. Unfortunately, the browser will close with a message apologizing for the app quitting and gives option to restart the browser or cancel. Once this happens every attempt will recreate the same message. The first time this happened I shutdown the tablet, after clearing the browser cache and history and restarted the tablet. This seemed to take care of the problem for awhile but eventually it begin crashing every time I opened the browser. I have discovered that if I leave it alone for an undetermined amount of time it seems to sort itself out and will begin working properly again, at least for awhile. Seems to be random and not associated with a particular site, it happens right away when opening the app. Hope this gets corrected in a future update. I really like using the browser.
Stock browser is more stablet than firefox, i have the two, but firefox give crash all time

i really like Boat Browser.. I always have more than 10 tabs open and only boat browser and opera can keep on memory all the tabs that i want, and i can see any tabs that I need, when i want to..

I use Firefox because Adblock Plus.
