Please recommend twitter app for high number of tweets. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use twitter a lot, but due to the nature of my work, I cannot access twitter very often and when I do, using the official twitter app and twitcaster, end up missing most of my tweets. Which twitter app is best for handling a huge number of tweets?

Ridiculous.
I doubt if i will be using this application. I rarely chat on facebook. I play Mafia wars only.
I left Facebook off my phone last time I upgraded my rom. Best decision I've made in a while. I use G+ and Gtalk, which is an excellent messaging app.

Haven't logged onto Facebook in months. It has a bad air about it. Been using Google+, but huddles isn't my thing. Talk is good enough for me.

Facebook wants to have our Privacy Data -.-
Not going to use this... Don't like to have my messages stored on some servers out there that I can't control.
I'm not really comfortable with facebook chat apps.. Is like a way to invade your life from the comfort of your smartphone =/
No Like!
Using friend caster. Eff facebook
Your phone has now contracted phone AIDS. Shoulda used protection while rooting. LD

[Q] Suggestion for app that merges mutiple social networking sites?

I only need Twitter and Facebook ( G+ would be a bonus )
So far every application I use, regardless if it's seesmic, hootsuite or tweakdeck, does not work well.
Seesmic and Hootsuite does not have a unified wall for all tweets and status update like tweetdeck does.
Tweetdeck (and the modified "Tweakdeck") does not support full Facebook functionality. Sometimes I would be missing notification for certain tweets or post as well.
Seesmic does not allow one to view who has "liked" your post.
It is issues like this that annoys me since at times I cannot respond to friends or other people. Every app has to lack something. I cannot find an app does function like Facebook + Twitter. Somebody SIMPLY has to take out certain features.
I'm hoping for someone on XDA to prove me wrong. Any suggestions for a better social networking application?

[Q] Email Question?

For the HTC Email stock JB 4.1 app, on some emails with web links in the body of the email the email app doesn't give hyperlink. I have to copy it then open a web broswer, then paste, etc. Also, say i get a package confirmation email with a tracking number. On my iPhone the tracking number was a link directly to UPS and my package so i can just tap that tracking number, web browser opens and shows tracking status. Again HTC mail app fails here and have to copy tracking number, open web browser, to to ups.com, paste tracking number, etc to do the same thing. Is the HTC stock email app just not that smart for such simple requests/features that i would think would be standard by now?
The reason why i use the stock email is because i have both yahoo and gmail accounts so this email app groups them into one inbox so it's easy to read having this one app in the dock. If i didn't use the HTC email app then i would have to put both yahoo app and gmail app in the dock wasting a spot since the dock only allows 4 apps.
Anyone know a way around this or maybe a better email app that can group several accounts into 1 inbox like the HTC email app and offer hyperlinks to all web addresses included in the email body? Maybe asking for a tracking number hyperlink is too much with this device, lol? Thanks
I think you can blame Apple for that. Lots out there about it.

Blame Apple for spoiling me with their email app. Wish this HTC one had more features or could find one that does :/
Didn't know there were links problem with HTC stock mail app, but, i've also notified that this app is not as smooth as it looks since you can't choice push synchronization, you have to choice a period of time or the smartsync (wich works like a ****)
I'd prefer to use HTC mail app than Gmail app, since htc looks better, but well... gmail default's app works much better.
Maybe you can try other mail apps like K-9, for example
I have never had this issue with HTC's mail app.
On my old phone, I would use Enhanced Email. This is a very nice paid email app that can deal with the security that some exchange serves have.
I poked around in my settings looking for something that might cause your problem, but I couldn't find anything. If no one here suggests something useful, try stopping in the ATT store and having them look at it, or call 911 and explain the problem there.
Having played with my girl friends iPhone from time to time, I have always found the Android to be a bit better.
Also, afaik, the only way you get true push mail is with an MS exchange account, or using a Blackberry.

Found enhanced email and using the trial version right now. Offers a lot of features the htc stock email doesn't and seems like a winner so far. Thanks guys

HTC email app provides the best features. Try to sync reply status on the iPhone, or try to set out of office with any exchange email client. Push is no longer a problem since the original HTC One X issues. Also, the productivity lockscreen (which is the only reason I have a HTC phone other than any other android phone) only works with the stock email app. I used EE for push while HTC fixed their issues, but I couldn't see my messages without unlocking my phone and I hate to go through putting in my unlock code to realize it was just the latest junk email. I have found that the stock app has more features than EE especially with an exchange server. (Except for bypassing security, which is not a good idea anyway.)

I'm actually using a Droid DNA on Verizon, but I found this thread while searching for an answer to this same question. I came from an HTC Thunderbolt and the hyperlinks in emails worked perfectly. I'm trying to find out what changed to remove that feature!

Well they sue everyone under the sun. I'm shocked they haven't sued anyone for having a store with 4 walls.
The patents in question include: (1) the ability to unlock the phone by sliding an image; (2) the ability to search for information via voice commands; (3) making use of data as hyperlinks; and (4) searching across multiple sources to find information. Apple argues that all of these features are ones that customers expect from Apple products. In other words, they are unique to Apple products.

[Q] Can I stop Twitter from doing this?

1st things 1st - My device: Verizon S4 Root/Safestrap/Eclipse/Titanium Pro
Is there a way to not allow this to be done without uninstalling the TweetCaster app? I checked in the app's settings and I don't see any way to stop or not allow updates. I do have Google Play's settings at "Do not auto-update apps" - would this be sufficient? Or may Twitter go behind everyone's back and do this independently through their app and bypass Google Play? I do not want Twitter to be able to identify what apps I have or otherwise have access to my S4 to "target ads" to me.
Please note I Do Not have the Twitter app, I have TweetCaster (if it's different than the Twitter app? I don't know?) I heard facebook was doing this same BS & people deleted the app (I Do Not use FB) and am looking for a way to not allow Twitter to do this (if there is a way to). Thanks (I don't believe the last line below)

Twitter Plans to Peek at Your Apps to Serve You Targeted Ads
Twitter will soon identify the other apps on your phone in an effort to personalize your experience on its service—i.e. serve you targeted ads.
The company discusses the move on its website, and according to the news site Re/code, this sort of tracking will begin with a new version of its iPhone app, set to roll out on Wednesday. A new Android version that works in much the same way will roll out over the next week.
Now a public company, Twitter is exploring many different ways to boost its revenue, and one method is through better targeted ads. The company already has some personal information about those using its service—what they type into their Twitter profiles and the tweets they post—but now, it wants more. “To help build a more personal Twitter experience for you, we are collecting and occasionally updating the list of apps installed on your mobile device so we can deliver tailored content that you might be interested in,” the company says.
In this way, it’s following the lead of Facebook and Google and so many others that seek to target ads. The difference is that Twitter doesn’t have access to nearly as much personal data as Facebook, which inherently encourages users to provide information about themselves, or Google, which operates a wide range of services atop its own mobile OS. So Twitter is reaching out into other parts of the phone, something that is easy to do. The Apple/Google mobile OSes provide ready access to information like this & many apps take advantage of this—some going much further than others.
Twitter says it will point users to its new data policy, via an in-app notification, before it starts collecting any personal information. But the new update is opt-out, which means that in order for the company to stop gathering data on your account, you must explicitly turn this data collection off. But few users are likely to do so.

I think Tweetcaster is a third party application just like Falcon doesn't have anything to do with the default twitter app. .Or you can just see if that option is listed their within the Tweetcaster application to opt out of it.

Which social login method to implement in your mobile app

Implementing a social login option in your Android or iOS app makes it possible for your users to sign in on every device and use their last saved settings and states. You can use a variety of methods to let the user sign in to the app, which one are you using and how many? I wrote a short article about it not too long ago.
In case of an app of mine with over 8,000 downloads, there are 3,600 Facebook signups, 4,500 email signups and 500 twitter signups (it's a social app so there's no option to use it without signing in). Users are not coming from any of our social sites because we don't really have a social presence, so the numbers are totally random. I there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but I thought we could help each other.
Would you share your experiences and ratio?
